Lefevre and ABC have not commentato on the report. On the show, the physicians work in an understaffed, understocked clinic in a small town in a South American jungle. They have "lost their way and will go to the ends of the earth to try to remember the reasons why they wanted to become doctors in the first place," according to the network.
