Episode
Number: #48
Director: Christopher
Chulack
Writer: John Wells
Description: When Carter is
scheduled to receive his medical doctor's degree at the graduation
ceremony, he is instead comforting a critically ill 10-year-old girl
(GABRIELLE BONI) in need of a liver transplant. Hardly anyone on the e.r.
staff approves of Greene and Weaver's selections of Lewis as chief
resident and Weaver as an attending physician for next year. Greene
realizes that he must now work with Weaver every day. He's further upset
when he learns that Lewis refused the offer. Jennifer informs Greene
that she is getting married next year. Loretta asks Greene to become her
children's guardian, but Greene doesn't want the responsibility. After
learning that her husband, Al, contracted HIV, Jeanie tests herself for
the virus and awaits the results. She advises Benton to test himself as
well. A pharmacy calls Ross with a question about a prescription for
Karen. Ross thinks that he did not write the prescription for as large a
quantity of pills as the pharmacy claims. Karen gets mad and leaves
abruptly when Ross questions her. Although he initially chooses another
supervising resident for his work next year, Carter reconsiders and
chooses Benton to supervise him. Benton and Vucelich meet in the
elevator and have a final discussion about Vucelich's study. Hathaway
becomes angry with health insurance providers after treating several
patients who were victimized by cost-cutting measures, including a
newborn who was sent home before a congenital heart condition could be
detected and an injured child (RAEVEN LARRYMOORE KELLY) in great pain
who was transferred to another hospital because of insurance
restrictions. She also makes an appointment for Shep to consult a
therapist about his violent behavior, but he refuses to go. Finally,
Hathaway quits her job in exasperation and tells Shep that she will
leave him if he doesn't get counseling. An elderly patient (JUDITH
MALINA) runs around the hospital nude.
