In earlier episodes there is rat infestation in hospital. In episode 9, almost at the end, one of them shows up (it is played by pet rats). There is also a dog who catches it and shakes the rat in its teeth, after which one of the doctors takes the blanket, catches the rat in it, and twists its neck. You cannot see it as it is under the blanket but there are pain noises. The scene with dog is fake enough to know it is not a real rat. The dog is fine.

One patient comes in with an electric collar superglued around his neck. It goes off if he says anything louder than a whisper. He says he bought it for his girlfriend's noisy dog, to get it to be quiet. Nothing is shown on-screen and the dog is presumably safe with the girlfriend.

Javadi has a case where she discovers two small puncture wounds in the patient’s foot, determines that it looks like a bite mark, and pulls a dead black widow out of the patient’s shoe. The dead spider is clearly shown and focused on in close up for several seconds, although it is crushed and somewhat misshapen.

Mild spoilers for two instances, in episodes 7 and 8:
Discussions of a father (a patient who has fallen) molesting his daughter occur a few times in episode 7, brought up by the mother. Rape is mentioned, as is prison rape, during a scene when a doctor warns the patient not to continue. The father nonverbally agrees to stop sexually abusing his daughter. No further action is taken, because the daughter doesn’t want to make a statement.
Also, sex trafficking and unwanted, coerced sex is discussed multiple times during episode 8 as a patient is strongly suspected of being a victim. It’s the patient whose boss accompanies her into the ER. Events very strongly imply that the doctors were correct about her being a sex trafficking victim.

One of the students hurts his finger and needs to have the blood drained from under his nail; I don't remember the exact episode but it's fairly early on.
In S1E8, a patient comes in with an amputated fingertip and exposed bone. It does show the wound, including when they trim the exposed bone and other steps of the procedure.

Later in ep a woman has been vomiting off camera. She holds a bowl and looks sick but they never actually show her vomit.

S1E13, Dr. Robby has an emotional breakdown, during which a droning, high-pitched noise plays in the background. There may have been previous scenes with a similar sound used, but this was the first time I've noticed it.
There is background chatter in a lot of scenes (not during character dialogue, as far as I remember) that might be a bit annoying, but not misophonic imo

A trans patient is deadnamed when she is called up in the waiting room, but after she corrects them about her name, the doctors and staff all consistently use correct pronouns for her. Additionally, a student doctor points out that the patient’s gender marker is incorrect in her chart on the computer, and tells the patient that she’s fixed that without being prompted so that the patient won’t have any issues going forward. The student doctor’s supervising resident specifically calls this out afterwards as positive and good patient care, and is impressed by it.

Yes but it isn’t so much religious zealotry or debate for the most part as opposed to families and patients dealing with medical situations through their faith. One mother does try to prevent her daughter getting abortion, but it is not directly implied or stated that the objection is religious, no real reason is given. Eventually the mother agrees.

Several patients are unhoused, and are treated fairly respectfully.

It’s debatable. The doctors are trying to help someone have an abortion but there is a family member who is very vocally against it.

Some plot lines have very sad endings, others do not. This show has many plot lines.

Yes, a child does, and this is (subjectively) one of the most difficult plot lines to watch in the series.
