This is the story of a great hospital, from its origin as a poorhouse to modern times. It chronicles the social problems, and political chicanery, as interns, physicians, and nurses struggle to care for the sick poor of Chicago. Since its founding, Cook County Hospital has been a center for medical education and research and has always been renowned for its work in trauma and diseases which afflict the poor and downtrodden.
