In the same genre: "Pandemic ER: Notes From A Nurse In Queens" (thanks to @Georgiarybanks for bringing to my attention). The first episode is great, esp. the hilarious "f**k off" riff near the end.

But you'd never know it, because the nurses were unfailingly polite and calm, never losing their patience with patients (even that awful guy who rang the call bell every 5 minutes).
