Luck, Ruth Johnson"
Original Air Date: December 10, 1998
Episode
Number: #101
Director: Rob Holcomb
Writer: Lydia Woodward
Description: Greene continues to stay at
Hathaway's house. Ross queries Greene about his date with the new Chief
of Emergency Services, Amanda Lee. Hathaway handles a case involving an
8-year-old boy, Wilson (JESSE JAMES). Wilson sustains minor injuries
when hit by a car while riding his bicycle with his 8-year-old friend,
who was shot to death. Wilson claims a man chased them. But later
Hathaway discovers bullets in Wilson's belongings, and he confesses to
shooting his friend, who refused to give Wilson his boots. Wilson
displays no remorse. Since today is the hospital's 100th anniversary,
Lee arranges for Carter to escort a woman, Ruth Johnson (ANNE PITONIAK),
who was born 100 years ago today. Carter gives a tour to Ruth and over
20 members of her family, including a very pregnant great-granddaughter.
After the party, the great-granddaughter delivers a baby and names the
girl after her nana, Ruth Johnson. Corday answers questions concerning
the magnesium overdose. She blames the system for the accident because
she had been working for 36 hours straight. Since the patient survives
with no bad aftereffects, Corday is cleared of any wrongdoing and the
system remains intact. However, her relationship with Benton ends.
Benton observes a cochlear implant operation (the procedure Benton is
considering for Reese) that Dr. Kotlowitz performs on a 3-year-old boy.
Kotlowitz schedules the same surgery for Reese. Later, Benton
reconsiders and cancels the surgery. Lee encourages Greene to supervise
a study on a new pain medicine, and he agrees.
