Number: #74
Director: Richard
Thorpe
Writer: Jack Orman
Description: Greene's ex-wife, Jenifer (recurring
guest star CHRISTINE HARNOS), is upset by Greene's paranoid behavior.
She tells him that she won't allow their young daughter to visit him
until he returns to normal. Carter and Del Amico greet another pair of
new medical students. Carter hopes for a better student this time but is
disappointed. Del Amico is angered by what she considers Ross'
patronizing attitude towards her although she calms down later. Weaver
obtains a copy of the proposal for Ross' fellowship, which is funded
through the e.r. She tells Ross that he must find some research grants
to cover his salary or join a private practice. Benton and Carla prepare
for their baby's homecoming. Benton equips Carla's home with an array of
medical machinery and trains Carla as if she were one of his medical
students. Dismissed from a job site, Al believes it is due to his HIV
status. Meanwhile, Weaver becomes angry when Jeanie risks infecting a
man with her HIV virus in order to save his life. Outside, Carter
accuses Benton of mistreating him in the ER. He ends up hitting Benton,
who knocks Carter down. Benton claims that he's angry that Carter ended
his surgical residency under Benton after Benton expended a lot of time
teaching him. Even though she doesn't know she's pregnant, a
crack-addicted woman delivers a stillborn baby. Hathaway discovers that
Greene never ordered a pregnancy test during the patient's previous
hospital visits for stomach pains.
