If you are a fan of the show, you will love this audio. It was so great listening to this and saying, Hey, I remember that show! Oh, this was one of my favorites! And they did cover one of the favorites of most fans, the show when Mark Greene delivers that baby in the ER when no one from L&D would come (?? never made sense, and the authors agree) and so unexpectedly, the mother dies. They really cover just what is realistic about the show, and what isn't, and really, many of these things you will probably recall saying, "Huh? Now would they really do that in an ER?" And usually, the answer is no. And, remember the shows where George Clooney saves the boy drowning in the sewer? They are covered, too. Highly recommend this book!
