Episode
Number: #72
Director: Christopher
Chulak
Writer: Lydia Woodward
Description: Suffering emotionally from his
beating, Greene cannot behave compassionately towards patients, and he
misdiagnoses them. Hathaway must correct him when he determines that a
bulimic, Laura Quentin (recurring guest star DANIELLE HARRIS), has
influenza. Ross also misdiagnoses a pediatric case due to a language
problem, and Del Amico corrects him. Hathaway and Ross continue their
secret love affair. Hathaway appeases Ross by giving him one of her
dresser drawers for some of his belongings when he spends the night at
her house. Hathaway and Greene interview unacceptable candidates for a
new desk clerk position. Then Greene hires one of them, Cynthia Cooper
(recurring guest star MARISKA HARGITAY - "Leaving Las Vegas,"
"Prince Street"), without consulting Hathaway. While
Morgenstern recovers from his recent heart attack, he appoints Weaver as
the acting chief of emergency services. And due to Carter's transfer to
emergency medicine, Doyle has seniority over Carter. Both Carter and Del
Amico must report to Doyle, much to Carter's chagrin. Carter and Del
Amico meet their new medical students. Carter's student, George Henry
(recurring guest star CHAD LOWE - "Life Goes On"), is a
researcher with no interest in his emergency rotation, but Del Amico's
student, Chasity Lee (recurring guest star MEREDITH ZINNER), is
enthusiastic. The baby of Benton and his girlfriend, Carla (recurring
guest star LISA NICOLE CARSON - "love jones," "Ally
McBeal"), improves enough to be removed from the medical equipment.
The superstitious father finally realizes that it is now safe to give
their son a name: Reese Benton. Benton gives Dr. Elizabeth Corday a tour
of the emergency room. Also, Dr. Greene is served with a subpoena
because Kenny Law's family initiates malpractice proceedings against him
for Kenny's death. Kenny was an innocent bystander shot in a drug deal
gone awry at a diner. His brother later threatened Dr. Greene.
