A man in the ER has a severed finger. Blood is shown and bandages afterwards but it’s not particularly graphic.

It’s unclear if a child has a seizure or just similar symptoms. Falling to the ground, shaking, and non responsiveness are shown.

Someone's child ends up dying in the hospital. The family's child appears to be a young woman in her early 20s maybe.

Calling 911 from both perspectives (needing help and someone answering the call). Minor point.

No, BUT, the main character attempts to kill himself with a gun to give his son his heart. The safety is on and he is unsuccessful.

No one self harms per say, but at the end of the movie the main character says he will kill himself and ends up trying to shoot himself in the head to give his son his heart. The gun locks and he is not successful.

A woman is shown in labor and it is frequently discussed but we do not see the actual birth and she is not in peril.
