ReportSynopsis
48 hours in the life of a burnt-out paramedic. Once called Father Frank for his efforts to rescue lives, Frank sees the ghosts of those he failed to save around every turn. He has tried everything he can to get fired, calling in sick, delaying taking calls where he might have to face one more victim he couldn't help, yet cannot quit the job on his own.

A glass fish tank is destroyed during an off-screen violent encounter. The eight fish on the floor are not quite dead when the protagonist arrives, but no one acts to put them back into water, so it can be assumed that they die.

only time is some guy in the waiting room background as they bring in the first patient at 8 minutes (its obvious cgi but the audio might be too much if this triggers you), also worth mentioning not too long after, franks partner for the shift starts gagging harshly while they handle the bad smelling drunk guy. besides frank mentioning every 20 minutes he doesnt feel well he doesnt go any further than that throughout the film

Not an eating disorder exactly, but the main character doesn’t eat due to stress and overwork.

The narrator addresses the audience but not in a way that acknowledges that the film is a work of fiction.

Lots of racial slurs. A long scene where the paramedics ridicule a homeless man for his smell, they even go so far as to lean out of the ambulance and gag.

Yes and no. Several people died before the movie started and are mentioned by the paramedic. From what we see happen, a white guy dies first but is brought back to life and is hospitalized in a coma. The first person we see die, who stays dead, is a young Black man.
