This hour-long medical drama was set in an inner-city walk-in clinic. Guy Mullaly and Brenda Greenberg, who wrote for the series and acted as Executive Producer, created the concept. The show ran for two seasons and was noted for its edgy portrayal of the medical profession and its street-wise doctors and nurses. Unfortunately, the show debuted the same year as E.R.on NBC, and Chicago Hope on CBS. But it did feature guest appearances by some of Canada’s best actors. In 1997, Albert Schultz and Joseph Ziegler went on to form the Soulpepper Theatre Company in Toronto.
