Factual errors: There is an episode where a 16-year-old girl overdoses on cough syrup. Throughout the episode, the doctors refer to the drug in cough syrup as "DMX". The psychoactive ingredient in some cough syrups is dextromethorphan hydrobromide, commonly called "DXM".

Quotes:

Les Campbell: Jesse, now I've talked to the doctor about your surgery.
Jesse Campbell: Yeah, they're going to cut me open like a sardine can.
Dr. Andy Campbell: Okay! Yes, I know that this is very risky surgery.

love the show

i have watched this show for a while... it makes u feel like they are real people that have the same problems everyone else does... i wish it wouldn't have ended it is one of my favorite shows i watch all the reruns... i live in pa and to have a show come on TV that is from this state just seems so cool to me and my friends... i love how it ended but it would come back i would be very happy... i think that the show showed how real people have money problems and not everyone has health insurance and cant pay for medical care... i also liked the chat room on the show i think every hospital should have one... when Dylan came on the show it showed not every womens doctor has to be a female it can be either...
