It was Surgical Spirit - Nichola McAuliffe played the main character, who was a somewhat acerbic surgeon called Sheila Sabatini which I found to be a somewhat dire choice of name, given that Gabriela Sabatini was peaking at her tennis career around then. I can just see the scriptwriters thinking "We need a name - quick, open up the Sun and tell us what you see...". Series wasn't up to much either.
