Description: Ben Casey is an American medical drama series which ran on ABC from 1961 to 1966. The show was known for its opening titles, which consisted of a hand drawing the symbols '♂, ♀, ✳, †, ∞' on a chalkboard, as cast member Sam Jaffe intoned, 'Man, woman, birth, death, infinity.' Neurosurgeon Joseph Ransohoff was a medical consultant for the show and may have influenced the personality of the title character.
