Lifestories was a 1990 medical drama broadcast in the United States by the NBC television network.

Done in a documentary style with off-screen narration by Robert Prosky, Lifestories was an attempt to make an extremely realistic medical drama answering questions like, "Exactly what goes on during the first 45 minutes of a heart attack?" "What is it like to be told that you have advanced colon cancer?"

Apparently, the realism was too much for the program to find a mass audience; its Nielsen ratings were abysmal and it was cancelled after less than four months on the air.
