5* AlliterativeName: Titus Tero. Also applies to his son Tanner.
6* BornLucky: Featured in the video compilation "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Zocb2O6Oc Top 5 Luckiest Patients]]".
7* TheBusCameBack: Holly's former partner Gavin (who appears in the first two episodes of S1) comes back in S3.
8* CatFight: PlayedForDrama. Several episodes feature women getting into petty arguments which turn into physical fights. However, the injuries they receive can be severe; one woman's eye was hanging out of its socket.
9* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to A&E's previous flagship programming like ''Series/StorageWars'', this series is very dark and gritty. The success of ''Nightwatch'' ended up shifting all of A&E in this direction, with series like ''Series/LivePD'' being hugely successful.
10* DrivesLikeCrazy: Holly & Nick's patients often complain about Holly's driving, and Nick says it's because she's too short to see over the steering wheel.
11* HalloweenEpisode: S1 E4 and S4 E10 are both set on Halloween.
12* HolidayEpisode: S2 E1 is set on Mardi Gras, which is huge in New Orleans; all of the cast members have to work extra shifts to keep up.
13* LanguageBarrier: A few episodes feature patients who only speak Spanish. Another episode features an East Asian patient who doesn't speak English.
14* NewYearHasCome: S1 E9 is set on New Year's Eve.
15* RealityShowGenreBlindness: Anyone who commits a crime on-camera, apparently unaware that their actions are being recorded. In one case, a man assaulted an EMT who was treating his mother.
16* ShipTease: One of Holly & Nick's patients was a CampGay man who flirted with Nick at every possible opportunity. Both Nick and Holly found it hilarious.
17* TakesTenToHold: One episode features a combative patient who is described as "280 pounds (127 kg) of pure muscle". It ends up taking six EMT's/firefighters to hold him down and get him on to the stretcher.
18* WouldHurtAChild: One episode features a seven-month-old baby who was pepper-sprayed by a stranger for no apparent reason.
