Transplant is a 2020 Canadian Medical Drama centered on Bashir 'Bash' Hamed, a doctor from Syria who came to Canada as a refugee during the Syrian Civil War, and is now rebuilding his career as a medical resident in the emergency department at York Memorial Hospital in Toronto.This Canadian show served as a midseason replacement for NBC in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic put almost all American productions on hold.

Practically Different Generations
 Transplant / int_25c7875f
comment
Practically Different Generations: Bash is at least twenty years older than his little sister Amira, who's in grade school. It's therefore unsurprising he's raised her in Canada, and he would likely be taken as her father by most who don't know their relationship.

comment
Hollywood Law: Mags tells Bash that he will be blamed if Bishop dies; however, Ontario's Good Samaritan Act should protect him from liability, given that he is a trained, if not licensed, professional, not someone that could be reasonably accused of negligence.

 Transplant / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When Bash's fiance returns after five years and him thinking that she died, they try to mend their relationship again as though nothing ever happened. It doesn't work because of just how much they've both changed, especially Bash, and the physical and emotional distance between them has grown significantly.

Determined Doctor: In the first episode, Bash had saved some people including Dr. Bishop at a restaurant with his medical skills and that was even before he was hired as a doctor. In the second season, he even saved the life a hostile patient who attacked him twice.

Trans Tribulations: Downplayed in "Trigger Warning". One patient is a teenage trans boy, who wants to have top surgery (i.e. a double mastectomy), while his parents aren't on board with it (and since he's under eighteen, their consent's required). His parents do agree to have him be seen at a gender clinic about going on puberty blockers though by the end.

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: In most situations, Bash couldn't be considered for a position at York Memorial because he lacks credentials that are recognized in Canada. But, Dr. Bishop is impressed by Bash's actions in the pilot and opens up a slot for him.

Do Wrong, Right: Theo is enraged when he discovers that the hypothetical procedures Bash has been asking him about are actually real cases in Syria because of the liability issues it brings up. However, he's even angrier that Bash didn't provide him with the full details of the cases because offering advice on incomplete information can be fatal.

Fatal Flaw
 Transplant / int_aba8065b
comment
Fatal Flaw: Many of the doctors have these which has led them to making some very poor decisions. Bash has a hard time relying on a team due to his history of field medicine, something that he really can't do in a teaching hospital. Mags puts too much on her plate and doesn't separate her work and home lives which has led to her taking situations far too personally. Theo's anger issues tend to boil over and cause him to lash out, especially in regards to his soon to be ex-wife. Bishop has a hard time giving up his leadership position and having others edging him out of said position doesn't help matters at all. Novak, Bishop's temporary stand-in, tends to edge others out of their comfort zone in ways that they feel are abrasive. June feels the pressure of being a black female doctor and puts up a strong emotional wall that has her come across as rather cold and aloof.

Surprisingly Sudden Death: A frat boy brings in his friend with a head wound he received as part of a hazing ritual. While his friend is being stitched up, he tells June that he really needs to get into the frat so he can get his foot in the door and get rich. As they're getting ready to leave, the frat boy suddenly loses consciousness and goes into cardiac arrest. The doctors wheel him into resus to try to save him, but he dies on the table from cardiac arrest. The reason? He drank a whole bottle of soy sauce to try and get accepted by the fraternity, and the hyponatremia from the salt killed him. His friend is left devastated.
