Trailer

The trailer of the show portrays how five doctors in their 40s who also happen to be close friends struggle to not lose themselves while serving their patients. 'Hospital Playlist' shows that the only thing doctors can really do is promise to do their best as they cannot take responsibility for anything else. They cannot assure recovery, they cannot assure a cure, but all they can assure is to tell you that they are on your side and they will do their best. The trailer centers on how doctors are also helpless sometimes.
