Number: #11
Director: Mimi Leder
Writer: Lance A. Gentile
Description: The first major snowstorm of the
season hits Chicago, but just as the ER staff is celebrating the lack of
patients during the holiday season, victims of a 32 car accident on an
expressway are rushed in. Dr. Peter Benton (ERIQ LA SALLE) must
surgically reattach the leg of a young victim, while Dr. Susan Lewis
(SHERRY STRINGFIELD) performs a complicated heart surgery that she's
never done before. John Carter (NOAH WYLE) preps an Asian woman who
actually came to the hospital just to pick up her husband. During the
frantic activity, Bob (MALGOSCHA GEBEL - "Schlindler's List"),
an immigrant janitor, helps out to everyone's surprise. She was a doctor
in Poland and exhibits fine skills as a surgeon. However, she is fearful
that her actions will prevent her from gaining certification as a
medical doctor in this country. Meanwhile, Dr. Douglas Ross (GEORGE
CLOONEY) misdiagnoses a Hispanic man (who dies) and clashes with a new
attending ER physician, Angela Hicks (CCH POUNDER - "Robocop
3," "Postcards from the Edge"). After just returning from
a romantic vacation in the Bahamas with Ross, pharmaceutical saleswoman
Linda Farrell (ANDREA PARKER) assumes command of the ER reception desk
when a temporary employee proves incapable. Ross is upset when Nurse
Carol Hathaway (JULIANNA MARGULIES) announces her engagement to Dr.
Taglieri (RICK ROSSOVICH). Dr. Mark Greene (ANTHONY EDWARDS) is forced
to instruct a man via telephone on how to deliver a baby when a pregnant
woman insists on giving birth while watching the falling snow from the
comfort of her own home rather than coming to the ER.
