WOW!!
Between the woman with the stroke, and the children hiding their mother, I am just... dumbstruck!
It's almost like an episode that everyone should see, at least the part about the woman with the stroke. The fact that she was only 35 was SO poignant!!

I got a charge out of this episode too.
Two comments:
M*A*S*H did this type of show back in the late (?) 1970s, showing the journey of a soldier wounded in the neck on the battlefield and how his care proceeded through the hospital unit. ER expanded on this, showing the woman's thoughts as well.
The 11 o'clock news here in Atlanta did a story on how the technique and device used in the show was approved by the FDA about 6 months ago and is being employed at Emory.
