ER {E.R.}: BLIZZARD (TV)
Summary
One in this series of dramas about the emergency room team of an inner-city Chicago hospital. In this episode, during a blizzard, the doctors and nurses enjoy a slow morning of office chair soccer and snowball fights, until a thirty-two-vehicle pile-up on the Kennedy Expressway results in more than fifty victims all at once. Highlights of the ensuing pandemonium include the following: a man arrives with third-degree burns; a terrified little girl, found in the snow with no identification, is lullabied by a nurse; a man calmly walks in, carrying his severed finger in a plastic bag; a victim arrives with a car cigarette lighter embedded in his chest; Dr. Benton and the new attending E.R. physician, Dr. Hicks, work to reattach a patient's severed leg; a woman arriving for her injured husband is assumed to be a crash victim and mistakenly sedated; Ross is deeply moved by the loss of a patient; "Bob," an immigrant from Poland doing odd jobs at the hospital, suddenly reveals herself to be a cardiovascular surgeon when a patient suffers an aortic rupture and no surgeon is available to perform the complicated procedure that will save his life; Dr. Greene guides a man through a home baby delivery via speaker phone while simultaneously operating on another patient; and throughout the day, Dr. Ross and Nurse Hathaway try to hide their feelings of anger toward each other. Commercials deleted.
Cataloging of this program was made possible by Broadcast Music, Inc., in honor of Marty Davich, 1997.
