Parents need to know that while this lighthearted medical show usually keeps blood to a minimum, some close-up surgical and trauma scenes may be too much for younger kids or anyone with a weak stomach. That said, the show's humor-tinged take on the often complicated and confusing world of medicine will enlighten and entertain curious tweens and up, explaining procedures like MRIs and biopsies and diseases like epilepsy in a way that non-MDs will easily understand. Anatomical terms like "penis" and "buttocks" are common when the topic calls for it, so expect a few giggles -- and maybe some questions as well.
Positive messages:The series takes a lighthearted look at the intricacies of the medical field, explaining complicated procedures and processes in terms that laymen can understand.
Violence:Surgical scenes show blood and organs up close.
Sex:Some medical discussions may include mention of genitalia (penis, vagina, etc.)
