I think it would be really funny if there was a medical show episode or something where there are two couples who do a foursome and the girlfriends end up pregnant with the other boyfriends kid. I think that could cause some filler worthy shenanigans.

My dudes I have an idea for a medical show for people who hate medical shows. It’s called hotshots from hellcare, and it follows the meetings of an unofficial support group that features:
A young bubbly, blonde grad nurse who’s so excited!!! to start working at a world class prestigious hospital and has no idea what she’s getting into.
The no nonsense, overworked CNA who works on the third floor and is either Hatian or Filipina depending on where in the US the show takes place
An introverted IT guy who’s been forced to come back to the hospital after 2 years working remotely.
The pessimistic, hypochondriac, middle aged receptionist who works at the outpatient building on campus. She is known for having three ex husbands, five dogs she considers to be her children, and claims to be staunchly following HIPPA guidelines despite having no problems gossiping about patients, and screaming out their personal information across the lobby to fellow employees.
A diner server who just wants to get in and out of rooms and not be subjected to food complaints.
And Jake from the billing department
Instead of mystery illnesses, patients of the week, and convoluted love triangles, this rag tag bunch navigates the mundane such as:
The whole upper management consisting of MBAs who have no prior experience in healthcare but got the job due to some wealthy relative donating a shit ton of money to the hospital
The defecation hallway incident of 1997
Employee parking suddenly being moved to an unreachable spot for no reason and it takes doctor entitlement to get things back to normal
The chaos of transitioning to EPIC
Patients and visitors refusing to wear masks even though they are required and throwing a god awful tantrum
The Wild West that is the emergency room
Pharmaceutical reps infiltrating doctor offices like spies
Joint commission inspection day
Free pizza five days in a row

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.
Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.
It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?
Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.
