Number: #130
Director: Christopher
Misiano
Writer: Neal Baer and Joe

Description: On crutches,
Carter hobbles back to the emergency room for the first time since his
life-threatening attack and tries to overcome the intense pain from his
injuries in order to perform his job. He treats diabetic patient Adam
Pulido (KEITH  LANGSDALE),
who attempted suicide by taking an overdose of drugs, and prescribes a
controversial new procedure for him without permission. Meanwhile,
Greene supervises a chaotic er shift while being distracted by his
father, who refuses treatment for his incurable lung cancer. Rushed to
the hospital because of labored breathing, Mr. Greene chooses Corday
instead of his son as his attending
physician and confides to her about the cancer. Greene treats a patient
who has a poisonous gila monster attached to his hand. Chen administers
to the handsome male ICU (Intensive Care Unit) head nurse, Frank Bacon
(MORRIS CHESTNUT - "The Best Man," "Under Siege 2: Dark
Territory"). Believing his fainting episodes mean nothing, Frank
helps Chen with her patients. Chen finally diagnoses his illness and
admits him. While performing a procedure, Abby makes a mistake that
accelerates the death of terminal cancer patient Kim Tadlock (CAL
GIBSON). She later visits the morgue and practices the procedure on a
cadaver--Kim. Meanwhile, Hathaway is plagued by innocuous calls from her
nanny. Corday attempts to keep a brain-dead patient alive in order to
harvest organs, and Benton and Cleo enjoy a sensual game of billiards.
