Episode
Number: #118
Director: Ken Kwapis
Writer: Doug Palau
Description: En route to
work after spending the night with Greene, Corday notices her photo on
the front page of the Chicago Tribune newspaper accompanied by a story
describing the dangerous conditions at County General. Romano is mainly
upset that Corday's picture is bigger than his. Hathaway befriends an
out-of-work waitress, Meg (recurring special guest star MARTHA PLIMPTON
- "200 Cigarettes"). Seven-months pregnant, Meg cannot afford
prenatal care. Hathaway invites her to the hospital, performs free tests
and helps her interview for a job in the cafeteria. Cleo treats an
obnoxious, troublemaking 4-year-old girl, Robin (JESSICA SARA), who
terrorizes the staff. After observing her for several hours, Cleo
releases her. But the child returns in very critical condition. Cleo
belatedly realizes Robin has an iron overdose--from vitamins.
Unfortunately, the child dies. Corday reprimands Benton for performing
surgery when he should have been available in the er. She ignores orders
from Romano, who asks her to tell Anspaugh not to schedule his own
surgeries. Romano wants control of the schedule so he can have Fridays
off. Greene and Malucci  work
on an attempted suicide victim, Tommy Stevens (JESSE HEAD), a
17-year-old who tried to hang himself. Meanwhile, Lawrence administers
to Tommy's girlfriend, Becky (ELLEN BLAIN). Lawrence gets a little too
involved with the case and wrongly blames the suicide attempt on Tommy's
busy father, but Tommy confesses he tried to kill himself because Becky
doesn't love him anymore. Tommy will recover from his injuries. Lucy
notices that Lawrence's memory is failing. Overeager Malucci assists
Greene with a comatose parachute accident victim and speaks to the
victim's wife on the phone. She wants Malucci to relay a message to her
husband, which he does--even though it's after the man dies.
