Breaking Point 1963-1964

Breaking Point aired on ABC from 1963-1964 and was an hour medical drama which was a spinoff of a Ben Casey episode. Richards stars as Dr. McKinley Thompson, the chief resident in psychiatry at York Hospital, a fictitious hospital in Los Angeles. Eduard Franz co-starred as Dr. Edward Raymer, the hospital's psychiatric clinic director. McKinley was called Dr. Mac, by everyone on the staff, although more or less, the stories focused on the people whom came to the psychiatric clinic for their help. Like Ben Casey, which along with Marcus Welby, M.D. was one of the two most successful medical series aired on ABC, Breaking Point was a Bing Crosby Production filmed through Desilu Studios.
