"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 man's face and body suddenly double in size; a young woman is burning up from the inside out after a day at the beach; a grumpy old man nearly dies before revealing an emotional secret.

A pianist's finger goes missing after getting accidentally sawed off; a man's pacemaker threatens to kill him; a man behaves bizarrely.

A pregnant woman is shot in the abdomen; a doctor is the victim of a car burglary; a storm is preventing a patient's life-saving surgery.

A woman risks losing her finger after trying on an ill-fitting engagement ring; a body builder can't breathe and doctors are shocked to discover why; a gunshot victim.
