Description: While at an
accident site, Corday attends to a victim, Dean Rollins (recurring guest
star LAWRENCE MONOSON). Detective Cruson (LEO ROSSI - "Analyze
This") tells Corday that Rollins carjacked a vehicle with a woman
inside, and the woman can't be found. Rollins has a life-threatening cut
on his carotid artery and needs immediate attention. Corday coerces him
into telling her the woman's whereabouts. Once at the hospital, Corday
and Benton treat Rollins'
multiple injuries. Rollins' victim is found and brought into the er.
Weaver and Kovac administer to her multiple stab wounds but to no
avail--the woman dies. Tests reveal she was raped. Corday feels
conflicted about the heroic measures taken to keep the rapist alive.
Later, Weaver offers Kovac a permanent position as Dr. Lawrence's
replacement. Dr. Theresa Chow (ROSALIND CHAO - "The Joy Luck
Club") performs a neurological assessment on Dr. Lawrence. While he
can remember some
things, he forgets others. After his test, Lawrence removes his
belongings from his locker. Sitting in the er, Lawrence watches as
Carter treats a man experiencing seizures. Carter can't diagnose the
problem and knows the man will die without proper medical attention.
Carter enlists Lawrence's help and Lawrence saves the man's life. Cleo
treats 15-year-old Chad Kottmeier (EMILE HIRSCH) for possible drug use.
Tests reveal no drugs in his system but a large amount of alcohol. Mrs.
Kottmeier (ROXANNE HART - "Chicago Hope"), herself an
alcoholic, refuses to seek any treatment for her son. Hathaway visits
Meg and her newborn baby in the hospital jail ward on Meg's request. Meg
pleads with Hathaway to convince the authorities to release her so she
can keep her baby, but because of Meg's drug problem, Hathaway refuses.
Meg screams at Hathaway as they take the baby away, upsetting Hathaway.
