Description: Carter wants to leave the surgical
residency program in order to pursue emergency medicine, but Anspaugh
angrily refuses to allow it. Realizing budget restraints could hinder
the transfer, Carter informs Weaver that he doesn't need a salary. When
Carter persists, Anspaugh considers the change. The risky treatment
performed on Benton and Carla's premature baby is successful. The baby
improves, but there is a possibility that he will have permanent brain
damage. Infuriated as a result of sleep deprivation due to his recent
traumatic attack, Greene destroys the lounge, throwing furniture and
other items around. Ross tries to help him, but Greene won't acknowledge
that he has a problem. When police detectives show Greene pictures of
possible attackers,
Greene admits that he only saw his assailant's pants and shoes. He
chooses a photo but is unsure if it is the correct one. Later, Greene is
harassed on the subway by some teenage thugs that follow him off at his
station and demand money. Greene turns around, points a gun at the
robbers and forces them to board the train again. The 14-year-old
streetwise girl Charlie is brought into the emergency room again. Tests
indicate that she overdosed on cocaine and other drugs, and she suffers
from hepatitis. Ross notifies Child and Family Services, but Charlie
runs away before the authorities arrive. When Hathaway returns home from
a date with another man, Ross is waiting. Ross and Hathaway share a kiss
on her doorstep.
