action
Nurse Bettina "Betty" Dewald is the head nurse on the admission ward at the Karlsklinik in Aachen . Together with her friend and colleague Lizzy Riedmüller and student nurse Talula Pfeifer, she looks after the patients in the ward and supports senior physician Dr. Behring, who moves to the Karlsklinik at the beginning of the series, and Tobias Lewandowski , the doctor in training (AiW). Due to her sometimes idiosyncratic methods, “Betty” Dewald often clashes with the nursing manager of the entire Mechthild Puhl clinic.
There is also a lot going on in Bettina Dewald's private life: after her boyfriend Tamás Liszt cheated on her after an argument with a one-night stand and is now the father of a child, the nurse separates from him.
In the final episode of the second season, Dr. Behring as acting chief physician, Dr. Helena von Arnstett was promoted to head of the admission ward and Tobias Lewandowski to the ward doctor. In the final scene, Dr. Behring shot by a patient, the viewer remains in the dark about whether he will ultimately survive or die.

reception
Reviews
Gϊti Hatef-Rossa from tittelbach.tv praised the basic concept of the show, but also noted that the series didn't offer much that was new.
“A resolute and competent sister fights for the patients and against the hospital apparatus and gods-in-white arrogance. After the innovative approaches for series of this genre, main characters with a migration history and handicap, are already in the ZDF's program, a series has now been added in which the conflicts of the sympathetic title heroine, cleverly played by Bettina Lamprecht, about professional power and gender -Fights rotate. With a wink, of course. That offers little new, but is a series suitable for evening before in a dramedy-typical setting. "
In his review "Sometimes you better slip on the banana peel", Frederic Servatius fromquotemeter.de drew a consistently negative conclusion to the series and said that Bettina Lamprecht [...] [wasting] her talent with the "ZDF evening series 'Bettys Diagnose' [...] ".
“The series offers neither innovation nor particularly good entertainment. The viewer is only moved to smile or think in a few moments - in the opening episode mainly in the minutes when Hugo Egon Balder gets his screen time. [...] If a hospital series has little emotion and no humor, then something is missing. To make a comparison with the big US-American representatives of the genre: “Betty's Diagnosis” has little of “Grey's Anatomy” and nothing of “Scrubs”. If the series had its own identity, this shortcoming would not only be tolerable, the production might even be great. But it doesn't. "
Audience ratings
The first broadcast of the first episodes was watched by 4.73 million viewers (market share: 15.8%). When the second episode was broadcast, the audience rating fell to 4.06 million, with a slightly lower market share of 14.9%.
As a result, the ratings continued to drop: for the third episode, the ratings fell below 4 million viewers; in the fourth episode, 3.66 million viewers were measured, which corresponds to a market share of 13.3%.
