The Kinda-Weekly ER Thread

[honeychile]

I don't think I have a favorite episode. Maybe five or six, or scenes from 10-12. I know the one that was the most disturbing to me, though.

It was in the third season, and as much as Dr. Benson drove John Carter, he drove Dr. Gant (a black intern) even more ("Did you check the box that you were black?"). Dr. Benson had really told him off and when Carter walked by, he saw Gant and asked him if he was okay. Gant said yes.

The next thing you know, they're bringing in a mess of a person who had jumped in front of the el train. It's all hands on deck and Dr. Benson is furious that Gant isn't there. Finally, he asks Carter to page him, and when he does, a beeper goes off on the patient. Carter looks at the number on the pager and realizes that it matches the ER. He says, "Sweet Jesus!" as they all realize that the patient is Gant - who obviously doesn't make it. That episode bothered me for a long time!

I loved Jeannie Boulet singing "Good Riddence" at Dr. Anspagh's son's funeral. Also, when Carol Hathaway goes to Seattle with the twins and reunites with Doug Ross.



Did anyone else notice that, as the woman who had just delivered twins was being rushed to surgery, the director alternated scenes of Carol Hathaway during her suicide attempt (first show)?
