A Gifted Man is an American fantasy medical drama television series that aired on CBS. The pilot episode was directed by Jonathan Demme, who also served as an executive producer on the show along with writer Susannah Grant.The series is about Michael Holt (Patrick Wilson), a talented but self-absorbed surgeon who lives a comfortable and materialistic life attending an upscale New York City clinic, but is nevertheless discontented with his life. Just as he starts questioning his purpose in life, his life is thrown into disarray when he is visited by the spirit of his deceased ex-wife, Anna Paul (Jennifer Ehle), who had recently been killed in a car crash, and who asks Michael to help keep running the free clinic she previously directed.The series premiered on CBS on September 23, 2011, but on May 10, 2012, CBS canceled the series after one season.

Artistic License – Biology: Dr. Holt had apparently never heard that you're not supposed to diagnose paternity based on ABO groups when he told an AB- man, on the spot and with no other apparent check, that his son, O+, wasn't his biological child. Although it is rare, the man could have been cis-AB and had an O child.

I See Dead People: Dr. Michael Holt can see the ghost of his dead ex-wife, but it's not clear if he can see others. A later episode had a little girl who can see the ghost of her grandmother, with her mother later developing similar symptoms, and it turns out that there is a connection, with a pop star that Dr. Holt attends to in the episode.

Agent Mulder: Michael's sister Christina, who believes in the supernatural, not only immediately believes Michael when he tells her that Anna came back as a ghost, but is actually thrilled with the idea, as she insists he was a better person when she was around.

The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: Evan "E-Mo" Morris, a psychiatrist-neurologist at Holt's clinic, becomes forgetful, and it isn't until it becomes serious after quite some time has passed that the possibility of it being the result of a neurological disease is considered.
