Trivia:

In 2007, this show tied with "Cheers" (1982) for being the most Emmy-nominated show ever with 117 nominations.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: None of the doctors or nurses performs CPR correctly, but if done with straight arms and enough force to make a difference, it can (and often does) break the patient's ribs. Obviously it's better to go without a factually accurate portrayal of the procedure than to injure the actors in the name of realism.

Quotes:

Lucy Knight: [on the County General roof] Rough first day?
Abby Lockhart: [smoking a cigarette] Well, let's just say it's been two years since I've had one of these.

Movie Connections:

Spoofed in "Saturday Night Live: Julianna Margulies/DMX (#25.12)" (2000)

The life and times of doctors at Cook County General Hospital, Chicago.

The best medical drama ever to be aired! It's fast paced, emotional, and suspenseful. The cast is unbeatable. Composed of some of the best actors and actresses Hollywood has ever seen including George Clooney. The show is extremely realistic down to the smallest detail, yet easy enough to understand. There is a lot of drama, but also some comic relief. The characters are all unique and different, but they work well together on stage. The plots and sub-plots are very diversified, but they all tie in somehow. The writing and coordination is incredible. I would recommend this show to everyone, it sure is a change from the warm fuzzies of television!
