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.
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.
Not during the episode, but it is discovered that a young woman has been the victim of human trafficking since she was 16. She was kidnapped when it started.
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.
No, but I don't know where else to post this potential trigger. A man, a drag queen, talks a bit about what it was like growing up as the gay son of a preacher. He says that his dad considered (but decided against) conversion therapy. His dad loved him and ultimately accepted him just as he was. I suspect that even the mention of conversion therapy could be a trigger for some.
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.
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.
There is a man who sings in drag but it is very definitely not a joke. Everyone at the hospital is respectful about the gay man who likes to sing and dress like Dolly Parton.
A soccer player keeps telling his team doctor(s) that something's wrong and they are dismissive and clear him to play. Turns out that he had an undiagnosed chronic illness.
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.
