    1 9 8 6 (USA/Canada)
    14 x 60 minute episodes

    Patricia Kalember starred in the title role as a 28-year-old second-year surgical resident at the (fictitious) Manhattan General Hospital in New York. “Kayo” struggled to keep her job and sense of humour in a traditionally male-dominated profession.

    The expert female knife-wielder operated in an environment inhabited by the arrogant and chauvinistic Dr Mark Doyle (Brian Benben); her teacher and mentor Dr Robert Moffitt (Lane Smith); sarcastic and authoritative chief surgeon Dr Josef Wallach (Jan Rubes); eager intern Dr Cliff Margolis (Tony Soper), and head ER nurse Rosa Villanueva (Priscilla Lopez).

    With the exception of a few second-unit exterior scenes shot in New York City, the CBS show was filmed entirely on location in Toronto and in two unused wings at Toronto General Hospital – the first US primetime series to shoot (almost) exclusively in Canada.,

    Broadcast against NBC’s Hill Street Blues the series was cancelled after only eight episodes aired.
