"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.

A patient appears to be hallucinating and sends ER staff on a wild goose chase; a new nurse makes a shocking mistake; doctors try to help a former EMT who is found lethargic and slurring his words.

A surfer is impaled between the legs; a football player's severe leg pain leads to an unexpected diagnosis; a woman is given a clot-busting drug to cure her stroke, but she has another condition that could cause that same drug to kill her.

A boa constrictor has wrapped around a man's arm and won't let go; a young woman has a severe laceration, but doctors begin to suspect there may be more to her case than the injury; a young man goes into anaphylactic shock after a dinner out.

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.
