Shelley, Jim Metzler and Alec Baldwin starred as three young doctors who ran a small hospital in the fictitious Texas small town called Cutter, 60 miles from Houston. Many publicity pics were taken help to promote the series prior to its initial run. One of the publicity pics was used on the cover of the 1994 Hungarian-language novel A Sebészasszony (The Surgeon's Wife) by Alain Thiéry. Alain Thiéry is a French author known for his medical novels which were translated to other languages including Hungarian.

The back cover read as:
Synopsis:The novel's protagonist is Ann Jessup, a talented orthopedic surgeon at a Boston hospital, who invents a "bone glue" that can heal broken limbs in two to three days. She's an attractive, beautiful and sexy modern woman who can turn the head of every man she meets. The story takes place in the United States, against the backdrop of a modern version of "Gone with the Wind", the contrast between North and South, the splendid life of the upper class, parties, finance, the Caribbean islands, and, for outsiders, the strange world of surgery... laced with major accidents, exciting operations and petty intrigue.
