Kaplan
Writer: R. Scott Gemmill
Description: While treating
Eli (MATT DOHERTY - "The Mighty Ducks" films), a 16-year-old
auto accident victim, Cleo realizes that the boy's small bowel may be
perforated. She wants Corday to do exploratory surgery, but Corday
disagrees with the tentative diagnosis. Cleo enlists Benton to do the
surgery instead. When Corday finds out, she becomes furious at both
Benton and Cleo. After punishing Benton by performing the surgery
herself, Corday tells Cleo that the boy had no abdominal injuries. Abby
administers to Lynn Parker (KERRI LEE  GREEN),
an exhausted mother of five small children, who fainted in a grocery
store. When tests confirm Lynn's pregnancy, Abby concludes Lynn is
starving herself in order to induce a miscarriage. Abby suggests an
abortion. Lynn undergoes the procedure but doesn't want her husband to
know. With Weaver on suspension, an overworked Kovac initially suspects
his patient, Rick Simpson (DAN LAURIA - "The Wonder Years"),
suffers from an anxiety disorder, but tests
reveal he has leukemia. Later, Kovac shows Hathaway a tattered photo of
his deceased wife and daughter. Carter shoves Chen out of the way and
takes over when he believes Chen fails to intubate a patient fast
enough. Carter sadly discovers that Lucy got accepted as a resident to
the psychiatry program at County General. Greene's apartment resembles a
hospital room as his father's health rapidly deteriorates. A hired nurse
cares for Greene's dad when Greene is at work. Greene lovingly
administers to his father, but David hates being a burden to his son.
