A tough, brilliant senior resident guides an idealistic young doctor through his first day, pulling back the curtain on what really happens, both good and bad, in modern-day medicine.
This tv show contains 52 potentially triggering events.
Not in the traditional way. A child gets a spinal injury that causes internal decapitation. His neck/spine looks ok from the outside but inside there's a disconnect that can only be fixed with a very risky surgery (spoiler- the surgery is successful).
No, but there is a fiery explosion that led me to expect severe burns and probably at least one death. Somehow the people in the vicinity end up with injuries but not burns.
There is a leg amputation in the first season. It’s not graphic but we see the leg in a jar in front of the patient.
Plus, before the leg amputation, one of the doctors touches the toe, and the dead toe fell.
I don't know where to put this (i guess gore?) but at one point that do surgery on a man and stop the surgery but don't close. The man's whole chest and torso are open with clear wrapping over them and you can see his heart beat and whatnot as he lays in bed. It's creepy. I'm used to seeing surgery on the show, but seeing a mans insides like that in a non-surgical hospital room just feels unnatural and my unconscious recoils.
In the last episode (the season finale) they left us on a cliffhanger making it appear that either Nic's dad or Nic's sister died after their dad donated a kidney to Nic's sister. In this episode it is a month later and Nic is grieving the family member who died. We see a bit of it in a flashback.
A person is found with a gun and a gun shot wound. It is unclear if the wound was self-inflicted.
Another person drives in such a major that they seem to not value their life, though I think they were too desperate and panicked to comprehend what they were doing. So... Not sure if it's considered suicide, but the person who was driving like they had a death wish...died when they crashed their car.
A baby cries outside the hospital and Mina and Nic think something sounds wrong. They ask her mom what's wrong. The baby is wheezing and is rushed inside, first to the ER and then to the pediatric ICU.
At the end of the episode it switches to telling us about a real person who part of the episode was inspired by. None of the characters are involved in the real life part of the episode. It shows words on screen, video clips of the real woman, and then a clip of her husband giving a speech. I count this as no (for breaking the fourth wall) since the fictional characters, actors, set of the fictional hospital, etc are not part of that real life message at the end of the episode.
There is an emergency C-section. There's also a maternity ward, a Dr preparing for a scheduled C-section, etc but we are there before during and after the emergency C-section.
For at least the first half of season 3 Mina is taking care of her best friend's baby, and there are occasional scenes showing Mina at home with the baby.
Kind of, but in a different way. It's a Black woman. And the show makes a point about the relationship between her race and her death. So it's not just casual. It's heart-breaking.
As soon as the episode ends it switches to showing you a woman who inspired a part of this episode, showing videos of her and showing her husband giving a speech (in real life).
Mina is hit by a golf cart, if that counts. We don't see it happens but we see her regain consciousness afterwards and the man who was driving the golf cart is trapped underneath.
A woman and a child are shot (on camera, Nic is there). The hospital staff talk about how many gunshot victims we have in this country annually vs Japan.
