Episode
Number: #136
Director: Jonathan
Kaplan
Writer: Jack Orman
Description: Benton and
Kovac rush via helicopter to a school where a shooting has occurred. The
two dedicated physicians argue about which patient gets airlifted first.
Kovac transports 11-year-old Nicholas Rosato (KYLE SULLIVAN) forcing
Benton to stay with the critically wounded adult gunman. At the
hospital, the boy's injuries prove to be much more serious than
previously thought. So when Benton finally reaches the hospital after
the gunman expires, his argument with Kovac proves unfounded. Benton and
Corday successfully perform simultaneous but different surgeries on
Nicholas causing Cleo to feel a little jealous. Paramedics transport
18-year-old college student Gloria Milton (EMILY BERGL - "The Rage:
Carrie 2") bleeding  from
a knife wound. She's 8-months pregnant, and Kovac deduces she stabbed
herself to induce a miscarriage. Since the monitor reveals fetal
distress, Kovac and other doctors encourage Gloria to undergo a Cesarean
section, but she refuses. Kovac tries in vain to get a court order for
the procedure. Gloria delivers a stillborn. Carter administers to Gary
Mednick (DON TOOK), an agitated car accident victim with a dislocated
hip. Carter gives Mednick an injection of fentanyl (a narcotic
painkiller). But Carter doesn't give him the full dosage. Later, Abby
witnesses Carter covertly injecting himself with the remainder of the
fentanyl. She reports her finding to Greene. Greene, Weaver, Abby,
Benton, Chen and Anspaugh perform a drug intervention. Greene gives
Carter an ultimatum--seek professional help for drug addiction or be
terminated. Benton accompanies Carter on the plane to a drug addiction
facility for physicians in Atlanta, Georgia.
