Description: The emergency room of
Chicago's County General, a teaching hospital, is on alert when a number
of victims are rushed there for treatment after a building collapses
nearby. The young residents and interns all help with the injured and
deal with other patients and personal problems as well. Dr. Susan
Lewis (SHERRY STRINGFIELD) must console a fragile cancer patient. After
being extremely drunk on his day off from work, charming pediatrician
Dr. Douglas Ross (GEORGE CLOONEY) resumes his duties and confronts a
mother whom he suspects of abusing her baby. Due to a shortage of staff
on duty, Dr. Peter Benton (ERIQ LA SALLE), an intense and confident
second-year surgical resident, must perform a major operation for which
he may not be prepared. However, he manages to save the patient's life.
Inexperienced medical student John Carter (NOAH WYLE), not yet a doctor,
is forced to deal with several medical emergencies on his very first day
in the emergency room. In the midst of the chaos, Dr. Mark Greene
(ANTHONY EDWARDS), the married chief resident, receives a lucrative job
offer from a prestigious private practice. He is forced to make a choice
between staying in this city hospital among colleagues and friends or
listening to his wife who wants him to take the new job so he can be
with his family more often. Although his commitment is with the
emergency room, he worries about the effect this decision will have on
his family. Meanwhile, Ross' attraction to Nurse Carol Hathaway
(JULIANNA MARGULIES) becomes apparent. Although they used to date, the
relationship didn't work, and Hathaway is now dating a football
player-turned-doctor. Several hours after she goes off duty, Hathaway is
rushed back to the hospital--this time on a stretcher. Her new roommate
found her unconscious. It appears that she is in critical condition due
to a drug overdose. No one knows why she would attempt suicide.
