Trivia:

Just before the first episode of the series was aired, with its collective accident generated by a heated soccer game, a similar event happened in real life, between the same two major teams, Steaua and Dinamo.

It is the first medical series in Romania, a very ambitious dramatic project about "St. Peter" emergency hospital of Bucharest, a fictitious hospital.

Winner of the UCIN Award (Romanian Filmmakers' Union) for Best Drama Series of 2006. Luminita Stoianovici- UCIN Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role "Stefania Motrea". Financing of the project, with a big budget for Romania, was obtained by its winning the National Script Contest organized in Nov-Dec 2005 by the Romanian National Television. It has the largest cast in a Romanian series, each episode hosting several new characters, sometimes more. It it for the first time that a series talks about the Romanian medical system with all honesty, but in a very accessible form for a great audience. Although it may seem to be a spin-off of "Moartea Domnului Lazarescu", it is not. Its development had already started in March 2005. They are both results of the same general climate in Romania, where old people still have to queue in for medicines, where the medical professions are beginning to lose the respect they enjoyed before, and where people, knowing the doctors are severely underpaid, feel the need to pay them unofficially. Yet life here is not made exclusively of drama. There are moments where love, humor and the absurd take precedence over the gloom, making it bearable.
