"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.

While a shooting victim is brought to the hospital, a Rottweiler gets loose in the ER; a young mother's asthma attack turns quickly into a deadly heart failure; a comatose man comes into the ER with a suspicious rash.

A dialysis patient is bleeding and doctors can't get it to stop; a naked man falls into a cactus and is covered head to toe in needles; a patient brings radioactive rocks to the hospital causing chaos.

A stabbing victim's heart has a hole in it, and it must be pumped by hand to keep him alive; a woman believes that she is possessed by demons; a man with an unusual predicament.

A stroke patient's wife and two girlfriends fight over him; soldiers who lost limbs in an IED explosion; a child's play bite.
