When we think of doctors and nurses who work in childrens’ hospitals what comes to mind are caring, dedicated and compassionate people. The staff at the Childrens’ Hospital in this show is the complete opposite. They are only concerned about sex and themselves. No disease intimidates them as they are looking for glory and not really focused on healing kids. You’ll have to see these doctors to believe it.
This spoof of hospital dramas is great for those of you out there with short attentions spans. Each of the 22 episodes is only 10-12 minutes each but long enough to leave an impression on you. Watch (probably with your mouth open) and …ummm…learn?
