Trivia

When Dr. Vijay Kapoor is assessing the female patient who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, he goes over her chart and history with her husband. Dr. Kapoor begins to read aloud from the notes in her chart. "Presented cyanotic and rigor mortis," he says. "Administered diazepam and Valium." Valium is a brand name of diazepam; they're the same medication. But no one points that out at any time.

Quotes

Dr. Max Goodwin: I want to know what you need, what your patients need. I don't care if it's not covered, I don't care if the Board of Directors said 'no'.

User Reviews

Rushed

I feel as though this show has potential. I have only just watched the pilot and it was good, but not great. I get that the pilot is meant to really grip you to continue watching, but I feel that in order to achieve that they rushed too much with too many aspects. Outside of the rushed feeling though, the content seems good, good soundtrack etc... an enjoyable episode.
