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.

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.

Very beginning, someone asks “Where’s Abbot?” and a character explains she needs a moment and then the scene switched to the bathroom and a eoman throwing up. Sound and visual. About 3 minutes in. You get no warning.
Later in ep a woman has been vomiting off camera. She holds a bowl and looks sick but they never actually show her vomit.

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.

There is a mother who accuses her husband of grooming their daughter and watching her in the bathroom. The daughter is too scared to report but by the end it is heavily implied he did abuse her/was grooming her. It is also implied one of the staff members shared this experience or a similar experience.
