"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 suddenly starts seizing; an ER physician is at a restaurant when she is thrown into an emergency situation to save a child; a pregnant woman's heart is racing.

A young pregnant woman in labor begs the ER doctor to keep her pregnancy a secret from her father; twins share confusing symptoms; a man with no pulse or blood pressure is still alive and breathing.

A man is impaled in his abdomen by a stiletto heel; a seemingly healthy outdoorsman has a series of seizures that baffle his doctors; two patients make their doctor suspicious when they both complain about identical headaches that started during sex.

A patient's pet causes pandemonium; a man experiences paralysis that climbs up his legs to his chest until he can no longer breathe; a war veteran suffers from phantom pain in his amputated hand.
