Episodes to know about
The pilot establishes the show's baseline: a patient stops breathing and an emergency tracheotomy is performed on screen; graphic medical procedures of this type recur in nearly every subsequent episode.
An episode centers on a patient who is emotionally and physically dependent on a dominatrix; includes discussion of BDSM and a brief scene examining fetish gear.
Episode 'One Day, One Room' follows a rape survivor; no depictions occur but the aftermath and emotional impact are discussed at length.
