An ambitious, realistic, sometimes humorous medical drama set at an old teaching hospital. The show illustrates the human characteristics of doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel, and how their tremendous responsibilities affect their lives. Understaffed and overburdened, the staff of the chaotic hospital often relies on humor to cope with daily pressures.
The large ensemble cast includes administrators, first year residents, dedicated doctors and talented surgeons who struggle gamely against apathy, faceless bureaucrats, and demanding patients.
