Investigative Reports: E.R. - Real Drama
The tension, drama and action of emergency rooms have been a staple of network television for years. But nothing you've ever seen can prepare you for the real thing! Go inside America's busiest emergency to see how doctors and nurses are coping with our violent society. Brooklyn's King's County Hospital is the setting for this unflinching look at the epidemic of stabbings, gunshot wounds, and drug overdoses that overwhelm the nation's ERs. Witness the desperate efforts of the doctors and nurses charged saving lives in this highly charged and dangerous environment. See how the presence of armed gang members "guarding" their own and the near-constant outbreaks of the mentally unstable and drug-addled means that hospitals can no longer be regarded as safe havens for the injured. The pace is dizzying, and the rewards are fleeting, but ER: THE REAL DRAMA is a rare chance to meet America's real heroes.
