Description: Ross, now a media hero for
saving a boy's life, is honored at a black tie banquet. Still angry at
County General, he prepares a bitter acceptance speech but becomes
gracious when he hears the wonderful things that Greene says about him.
At Bernstein's reluctant request, Ross agrees to remain on duty at
County General, but he clashes with Greene over which of two accident
victims is more in need of help. Later, Ross falsifies a patient's
report because he disagrees with the actions of the patient's health
maintenance organization. Meanwhile, Lewis is desperate to find a
baby-sitter for her baby niece. She considers asking an anemic patient
(ANGELA PATON), who has experience as a nanny, to care for her during
the day. Unfortunately, the woman is too sick. Lewis' father agrees to
care for the baby at Lewis' home on the nights Lewis works. His wife
disapproves. Carter reconsiders his diagnosis of a young man (JONATHAN
HERNANDEZ) with facial paralysis and must find him quickly to redo the
examination--or risk the boy's life. Overcompensating on his next
patient, Carter orders an extensive battery of tests, which reveal
something that impresses Vucelich. Ross, Greene and Hathaway are
astounded to learn the reason why a teenaged girl (MIRIAM REICHMEISTER)
tried to commit suicide: When her mother died, the girl became pregnant
after seeking solace with her brother. Shep accidentally offends
Hathaway, a suicide survivor, with a comment about it. Greene treats a
man (CHARLES CYPHERS) who was injured reenacting the American Civil War
and claims he was hit by a cannon during a mock battle. Jeanie gets
assigned to work with Benton--and he learns that she filed for a divorce
from her husband. Carter and Harper renew their relationship.
