TRAIN CRASH PUTS DOCTORS AT RISK IN THE FIELD DURING 'ER'S' 150TH
EPISODE -- In the classic drama's 150th episode, a multi-car train
accident scrambles the ER and Drs. Kovac (Goran Visnjic), Carter (Noah
Wyle) and Corday (Alex Kingston) are overwhelmed by the carnage at the
site as they work to save an impaled mother, her young son and a trapped
firefighter -- until the pregnant Corday begins to suffer painful
contractions. Back at County, Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) tries to
salvage a victim with a shredded aorta and even helps Carter with a
tricky amputation over the phone, all of which leaves an observing med
school applicant wide-eyed. Meanwhile, the bloody mayhem prompts Kovac
to recall the harrowing loss of his own family and he confronts his
torment with the terminally ill Bishop Stewart (Oscar-nominated guest
star James Cromwell, "Babe"). Anthony Edwards, Laura Innes,
Maura Tierney, Paul McCrane, Michael Michele, Erik Palladino and Ming-Na
also star.
