For the first season the show was set at Capital
General Hospital in Washington, D.C., presided over
by no-nonsense chief of surgery Dr. Vincent Campanelli
and his all-nonsense staff. The latter consisted of
prankster Dr. Jerry Noland, a free-swinging product
of the ghetto and the hospital's chief bookie; sexy
young nurse Annie Carlisle; her mischievous companion
Mildred MacInerny; and Dr. David Amherst, the handsome
love interest of practically every female in the place.
There were also the patients: the old codger who
liked to drag-race in his wheelchair, the paranoid
young man who wanted his medication pretasted and
then slipped under the door, etc.
The program returned for its second season retitled
The New Temperatures Rising Show. Capital General
was now a private hospital, run by penny-pinching
Dr. Paul Mercy and owned by his meddlesome mother,
Martha, who was permanently in residense and who
kept calling her son via a beeper on his belt.
Miss Tillis was the efficient accountant, Windy
Winchester, the romantically inclined nurse, and
Dr. Axton, the cheerfully fraudulent surgeon who
had recently published two books. Only intern
Dr. Jerry Noland remained from the first season.
