Director: Anita W.
Addison
Writer: Robert Nathan
Description: Dr. Mark Greene (ANTHONY EDWARDS)
probes to discern the cause of a female patient's extensive, possibly
fatal, injuries and discovers that she was physically abused by her
teenage daughter. Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Benton (ERIQ LA SALLE) hires
physical therapist Jeanie Boulet (GLORIA REUBEN) to stay with his senile
mother several days a week, without consulting his sister, who wants
their mom put in a nursing home. Dr. Douglas Ross (GEORGE CLOONEY)
becomes depressed about the number of children who are sick with
incurable diseases and his inability to help them, particularly Zack
Meeker (TRENTON KNIGHT), who has cancer. Dr. Ross argues with Dr.
Taglieri (RICK ROSSOVICH) about Zack's treatment, while Zack's mother
chastises Nurse Carol Hathaway (JULIANNA MARGULIES) for telling her son
the truth about his illness. John Carter is upset when the new intern,
Deb (MING-NA WEN), is continually praised by the residents, especially
Dr. Benton. Finally, Dr. Susan Lewis' (SHERRY STRINGFIELD) problems
subside when Dr. Morgenstern (WILLIAM H. MACY) chastises Dr. Kayson (SAM
ANDERSON), not Lewis, after Dr. Morgenstern evaluates the case of a
patient who died. Dr. Morgenstern tells Kayson that Lewis acted properly
but because she is only a resident, it was Kayson's responsibility to
supervise the case more thoroughly. Ironically, Kayson unexpectedly
suffers a heart attack, and Lewis is the only one he really trusts to
care for him.
