Description: UNEXPECTED VISITORS
-- A freezing January day floods the ER with patients and homeless
people seeking warmth, including Carlene (guest star Telma
Hopkins, 'Family Matters') who challenges Dr. Del Amico's (Maria Bello)
authority, and John Burak (guest star Brad Henke) who has an
embarrassing run-in with a vending machine.
Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) lobbies the other doctors to agree to allow the
Synergix Corporation to take over management of the ER. Dr.
Greene (Anthony Edwards) is surprised to see that a former co-worker,
Dr. Swift (guest
star Michael Ironside), is already on board as the attending physician
for Synergix. Dr. Corday (Alex Kingston) provokes an angry outburst from
Dr. Romano (Paul McCrane) when she goes over his head and convinces
another surgeon, Dr. Kotlowitz (guest star Dennis Boutsikaris, 'Boys on
the Side'), to perform an unusual vocal cord surgery. Drs. Benton (Eriq
La Salle) and Carter (Noah Wyle) give presentations on their respective
specialties to second-year med students and are both impressed with an
especially bright student, Laura Brown (guest star Sarah Hudnut). George
Clooney, Julianna Margulies and Gloria Reuben also star.
