Code Black is a documentary of County General Hospital in Los Angeles, particularly C-Booth which is a small, cramped, intimate emergency room with little to no privacy for the patients who are admitted there.
We learn about the doctors who work there and what inspired them to seek employment there as well as the changes made to the facility and the administrative side of that department. Requirements from Mr. Corporate to fill out paperwork before a procedure is done is one of the frustrations the doctors face.
We also see graphic, very graphic procedures being performed on patients! Be forewarned-if you are squeamish you might want to re-think seeing this especially if you are heading for dinner afterward! You will see graphic shots of people opened up. It's tough to watch.
It is interesting but it isn't particularly riveting. It is also tragic, sad, repulsive and scary. In other words, it's brutal.
