This movie does for medical school what "Airplane!" did for airline disaster movies. It follows the paradigm of a soap opera with all the cliches. An assorted bunch of characters pursue their medical degree (and each other) while moving through their residency. Good for some very good laughs: "Due to a mix up in urology, there will be no apple juice served today."
