Summary

James, Danny, Joolz, and JV create some of the most questionable doctors imaginable for a hospital that I could not recommend visiting. Then they being to play through the WILDEST episode of television that I would 1000% watch. CONTENT NOTEThis series draws a lot of comedy from inappropriate conduct in a medical setting. James' character repeatedly references losing child patients though no children are hurt in the course of the actual story. There is also frequent reference to how broken the US healthcare system and particularly health insurance is. THE ULTIMATE MICRO RPG BOOKGet some games!
