When she was young, Sabrina Amali wanted to become a doctor. The actress prepared very carefully for her new role as a rescue doctor.
Actress Sabrina Amali, who is now in the ARD series “The Notary Doctor” cannot see blood in real life. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was young and did a trial internship with a doctor. I passed out three times in a week because of blood,” said the actress, who was born in 1992, in an interview with the German Press Agency.
However, as a beginner, she was by no means spared back then. “I also experienced it a little more extreme. The doctor called me in for an operation. He said: ‘It’s like shock therapy that you have to do. The more you see it, the more it goes away.”
She still remembered this earlier experience when she completed an internship with rescue workers a few months ago in preparation for the series role. “During the two days of my internship with the emergency services, I was incredibly afraid that I would see something and then become a patient myself. But it wasn’t like that at all. At first I had so much adrenaline in me. And then you also have the feeling: Someone else needs help, so I have to function here now.”
“The Not Doctor” is set in Mannheim, has six episodes and can now be seen on Tuesdays at 8:15 p.m. on Erste. The series is already available in the ARD media library.
