Description: POWERFUL
CITY LEADER TEMPTS DR. WEAVER; ED ASNER GUEST-STARS AS CROTCHETY MEDICAL
CLINIC DOCTOR -- Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) is caught in a bind when an
influential alderman (guest star Bruce Weitz), seeking treatment after a
fall, tests positive for syphilis -- information that will likely become
public. Meanwhile, Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) is impressed when he meets an
irascible old doctor (Emmy Award-winning guest star Ed Asner) who runs
an inner-city medical clinic. Elsewhere: a sympathetic Dr. Kovac (Goran
Visnjic) bends ethics when he tricks an injured patient (guest star
James Colby) into believing that his terminal wife has already expired;
Dr. Pratt (Mekhi Phifer) decides on his own to invite a dying mother's
(guest star Jeannetta Arnette) drug-addled son to her bedside and also
keeps a wary eye on his mentally challenged brother Leon (guest star
Marcello Thedford) as he starts a new job; Weaver and Kovac differ on
what to do with a young boy whose repeated medical history suggests
paternal child abuse. Maura Tierney, Alex Kingston, Paul McCrane, Sherry
Stringfield and Sharif Atkins also star.
