Mortem"
Original Air Date: January 23,
1997
Episode
Number: #60
Director: Jacque
Toberen
Writer: Carol Flint
Description: Carter feels sorrow but also guilt
about Gant's death even though the police rule it an accident. He
wonders if it was really suicide and thinks that he wasn't a good enough
friend to Gant. He also feels that Benton, who will not discuss the
matter, may be partly responsible due to his harsh treatment of Gant.
Later, Carter reads Benton's most recent evaluation of Gant, which was
positive. Unfortunately, Gant never saw it. Carter rebukes Benton for
his seeming lack of concern. Meanwhile, Charlie asks Ross to be her
guardian, and  Charlie's
mother, whose former boyfriends have abused Charlie, agrees, claiming
she can't control her daughter. Ross refuses. To protest cuts in their
overtime pay, the nurses call in sick. Hathaway gets temporary employees
and closes down part of the emergency room. However, a deathly ill
patient from West Africa needs treatment. The doctors worry that he
might have the highly contagious ebola virus. Jeanie is willing to treat
him, helped by Dr. Greg Fischer (recurring guest star HARRY J. LENNIX)
from Infectious Diseases, who discovers that the man has malaria.
Fischer invites Jeanie to look at the stars with him through a
telescope. She mistakenly thinks that he is homosexual, but when he
kisses her she realizes her mistake. She tells him that she is HIV
positive. Meanwhile, Greene overzealously courts Marquez, who wants to
let their romance develop more slowly. When a homeless man dies in the
emergency room, the overworked Hathaway takes responsibility for giving
him the wrong blood. Due to the lack of nurses, Weaver and Greene don't
think it is important to report the incident, but Hathaway insists.
