"Untold Stories of the E.R." is a fast-paced medical series that blends re-enactments of real emergency room cases with comments by the actual physicians and nurses involved in the procedures. Often the patients give first-person accounts as well, and some even play themselves during the re-enactments.

Doctors use a robot to treat a seizing 7-year-old boy; a chef's tongue is swelling; a woman who crashed her car insists her injured dog be treated first.

An urgent care physician must think outside the box to care for two emergencies at once; a woman with abdominal pain receives an unexpected diagnosis; a yoga instructor has a dangerously high temperature for no obvious reason.

A first-hand look at individuals who didn't expect to become human shish kebabs.

The force of a devastating tornado has driven a fence picket through Julie Rakestraw's neck; the large piece of wood is blocking her airway and the only way of saving her is to pull it out.
