I haven’t watched it, but as a former emt I can tell you that any show that resembled an actual er would be boring as hell.
Episodes 1 through 5: dealing with 3 sore throats, 4 general malaise, 1 stubbed toe, none of whom needed the er and probably didn’t even need a doctor.
Episode 6: an actual emergency!
Episodes 7 through 15: don’t even need to film them, just run repeats from the first half of the season.

There’s a bunch of actual ER docs that watch the show and definitely say it’s effectively a “day from hell”. But mostly realistic.

Even inside the show, they presented as “the day from hell”, and talk about that very thing beginning, middle and end. I think that was the whole point of it.
