Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The St. Albert's Teaching Hospital, considered the worst in the public health system and administrated by the corrupt Dr. Cyrill Kipp, receives a new group of interns: the clumsy Mike Bonnert, whose parents are prominent doctors and forced him to study in medical school; the wolf Dale Dodd, who has come to the hospital to meet women and falls in love for the nurse Cynthia Skyes; Marlon Thomas, who like to play pranks with his mates; Mira Towers, who aims to be a great surgeon; Christine Lee, a very efficient student and promising doctor; and Mitzi Cole, who works as stripper to pay for her medical school and becomes Mike's girlfriend. Leaded by Sarah Calder, the group spends the year learning how to become medical doctors in an environment of lots of confusion. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Despite the movie having in its cast well-known actors such as Dan Aykroyd, Dave Foley, Matt Frewer, and Dave Thomas, for some reason distributor TVA Films chose not to publicize this, and instead in its limited marketing campaign decided to focus on the cast members who were not famous. This has been used as one explanation as to why the movie was a box office flop when released to theaters. See more » |
