Goofs:
Factual errors: There is an episode where a 16-year-old girl overdoses on cough syrup. Throughout the episode, the doctors refer to the drug in cough syrup as "DMX". The psychoactive ingredient in some cough syrups is dextromethorphan hydrobromide, commonly called "DXM". more
Quotes:
Dr. Dylan West: Mr. Lawson, don't give up hope.
Mr. Lawson: Try looking from the world from where I'm sitting before you lecture me on hope.
Dr. Dylan West: I've been there.
Mr. Lawson: You've killed someone?
Dr. Dylan West: Yeah. I killed my fiancée. I was a fourth-year surgical resident when I met her. She was amazing. Three months after our first date, I asked her to marry me. We were heading up to the Poconos for a ski weekend. I just got off of 36 hours on call. I had no business being behind the wheel. But she wanted to wake up in the mountains. And there was no way I was going to disappoint her.

Mr. Lawson: That was an accident.

the best thing I have ever seen on TV, 27 November 2004
Author: funny coke from spain

this TV-series is the best I have ever seen. yes I love it. It's incredible the things you can learn from this series: learn about medicine, about personal problems and how to solve them... That series should win an Oscar! usually, the series that are on TV in Spain are all reality shows that the only thing they teach is how a man can eat 2 hundred worms in ten seconds.... that's pathetic. this series should be known for all the people around the world due to it's incredibly and amazing way to say things. it gives the people who watch it the things that other TV series don't do.. like love, faith, friendship,etc. I encourage every person who wants to see it,It's worth to see it believe me!
