Two romantic relationships are depicted in this film: One young married couple pregnant with their first child, and a courtship between a student nurse and the new pathologist on staff. The nurse and pathologist exchange a passionate kiss on their first date. The married couple welcome their first-born child, a boy.

Doctors smoking in the hospital, in the laboratory and in the morgue.

Two critical cases wrap up the finale: One premature baby in the nursery is not thriving, and one young woman having a bone biopsy done, waiting to hear if the biopsy is benign or malignant. Both cases involved doctors directly as one is a doctor's child, and the other is a doctor's loved one.
