Surprise, Surprise

For some reason I NEVER noticed this before. But last night as I was watching the last episode of Medium on-line at NBC.com I noticed something in the end credits I'd never seen before. Allison Dubois is a consultant for the show. O_o

You mean there's a REAL Allison Dubois?! Did anyone else know this? Who is she? Is she LIKE the character on the tv show? Does this mean that the characters I love so much are based on reality in some way, shape or form?

Someone PLEASE illuminate me!
