Writer: Barbara Hall
Description: Without Lewis, the emergency room
is even more understaffed. Greene calls a staff meeting and outlines a
new scheduling system. He seems to be dealing with his heartbreak over
Lewis' leaving by taking on more responsibility at work. Meanwhile,
Hathaway studies hard for her pre-medical school midterm test in
physics, and she scores fairly well. Hathaway also gains a minor victory
by convincing the hospital administration to stop transferring the
emergency room nurses. Weaver inadvertently insults Hathaway by saying
that she is acting like management. Worrying that he is not succeeding
in his pediatric surgery elective, Benton works hard at developing his
visualization skills to impress Keaton. Unfortunately, during an
operation observed by Keaton, Benton is called away by Morgenstern, and
Carter is allowed to finish the surgery. Keaton surprises Carter by
implying that their relationship is strictly for fun. He is sad to learn
that she will soon be traveling to Pakistan for a few months to teach.
Later, she comes to the Carter family farm with him to cut down a
Christmas tree, and they have sex again. Wanting to prove his worth to
Benton, Gant, though overloaded with work, refuses Carter's
help. Gant blames Carter for helping Benton on a surgery instead of
allowing him to help. When Greene treats Jeanie's ex-husband, Al, for
HIV, he wonders if Jeanie may be infected as well, although Jeanie
denies it. Weaver, who knows the truth, tells Greene to believe Jeanie.
Even Anspaugh orders Greene to leave the situation alone. Breaking
hospital rules, Greene checks Jeanie's confidential medical records and
confirms his suspicions. He berates Weaver for not sharing the
information with him and possibly making the hospital liable for a
lawsuit should Jeanie spread the disease. When Jeanie finds out Greene
violated her privacy, she furiously confronts him.
