Number: #9
Director: James Hayman
Writer: Robert Nathan
Description: Dr. Mark Greene (ANTHONY
EDWARDS) claims to have the flu and misses work, but he's really taking
time off to make love to his wife, Jennifer (CHRISTINE HARNOS), while
Dr. Douglas Ross (GEORGE CLOONEY) reluctantly substitutes for him as
chief resident. In the process, he realizes how difficult Greene's job
really is. Ross treats a boy with a blocked breathing passage and
argues with Dr. Peter Benton (ERIQ LA SALLE). Benton is particularly
headstrong and stubborn these days because not only did he lose the
Starzl Fellowship to Langworthy (TYRA FERRELL), but his family situation
is upsetting him. The reappearance of his brother, Walter (VING RHAMES),
and his mother, Mae (BEAH RICHARDS), make him realize that his family
has problems. Third-year medical student John Carter (NOAH WYLE) helps
Benton with a diagnosis for a young high school wrestler (KEVIN
CONNOLLY) who has starved himself to stay in his weight class.
Meanwhile, Dr. Susan Lewis (SHERRY STRINGFIELD) tries to find out why
her lover Dr. Cvetic (JOHN TERRY) is so bad-tempered lately. Nurse Carol
Hathaway (JULIANNA MARGULIES) helps a young rape victim (BRIGID WALSH)
who is afraid to cooperate fully with the police, especially when she
must submit to humiliating procedures to collect evidence. Carter
becomes infatuated with Lewis.
