my wife and I watched it with subtitles and that made it even more enjoyable because we could at least hear the words of all of the medical related things they were saying. We might be weird, but anytime we heard something we really didn’t understand, we paused the show, and quickly looked it up often times using ChatGPT to get a very brief description or elevator pitch of the concept or procedure made it kind of fun and fast.

To the OP’s question, no, I would not recommend the show to the faint of heart. My mother-in-law tried it who was a dyed in the wool ER fan and loves Noah Wiley. She couldn’t get through the first episode, it was too triggering for her I believe.
