    Very Interesting and Original
    Well, this film is very original, I'll give it that. The entire show is based on a group of doctors and nurses (hmmmm, whatever gave me that tipoff) that go about their daily business. We've got everything an ER soap opera needs: secret romances, snotty would-be richy patrons, escapee patients, clutzy nurses, and even the president of the United States in danger! However, there's a catch.... Every doctor and nurse is a kid! Nobody ever seems to notice this... As a matter of fact, it seems the adults are more "youthful" than the children. Keep in mind that this was made in Aussie :-)...more power to them. It has some wondeful humor, but may bore those of the younger generation. If you can sit through it one time, chances are it'll grow on you. There may be some rather interesting issues, especially where the president and FBI is concerned, that may not go over well with some Americans *especially the use of the words "Goddamn" all the time :~* Anyway, I suggest that, if you can find it, go ahead and check it out. However, I really wouldn't put the extra effort to find it if it's not available.
