Episode
Number: #16
Director: James Hayman
Writer: John Wells
Description: Dr. Mark Greene (ANTHONY EDWARDS)
argues with Dr. Susan Lewis (SHERRY STRINGFIELD) about a diagnosis for a
patient. However, Greene's conclusion of a pulmonary embolism impresses
Dr. Morgenstern (WILLIAM H. MACY), who offers Greene an attending
position next year upon completion of his residency. This does not
please Dr. Greene's wife, an attorney practicing out of town. In
addition, a terminally ill breast cancer patient (LINDA KELSEY -
"Lou Grant") begs Dr. Greene to help her die. Meanwhile, Dr.
Peter Benton (ERIQ LA SALLE) argues with Nurse Haleh (YVETTE FREEMAN),
who resents Benton's superior attitude. Later, Benton is chastised by
Nurse Carol Hathaway (JULIANNA MARGULIES) and is lectured by the
physical therapist (GLORIA REUBEN) who cares for his mother. Benton also
treats a fatally wounded 12-year-old gang member, the victim of a
shooting. The boy's young assailant visits the ER, wielding a gun, then
leaves when he discovers the victim is dead. John Carter (NOAH WYLE) and
Deb Chen (MING-NA WEN) must give presentations along with some other
medical students. Carter is upset when Chen impresses Dr. Benton with
her brilliant presentation. Dr. Douglas Ross (GEORGE CLOONEY) treats a
boy who was bitten by his pet viper, while hospital personnel search for
the snake, now missing in the er. Dr. Ross becomes increasingly
interested in Diane Leeds (recurring guest star LISA ZANE - "L.A.
Law"), a hospital employee whose son he befriended. But Diane knows
Ross' reputation with women and isn't interested in him. Elsewhere, Dr.
Lewis treats a stricken hockey referee; comedian BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT
briefly guest stars (as a patient hiding under a sheet); and Hathaway
congratulates herself on securing new crash carts--until they are stolen
by other hospital staff.
