DOCTORS, THE: WHATSOEVER HOUSE I ENTER {HOUSE OF HOPE} {SERIES PREMIERE} (TV)
Summary
The premiere episode in this daytime serial about the dedicated staff of Hope Memorial Hospital. In this episode, Dr. William Scott's faith in medicine is shaken when a neglected young girl inexplicably dies on the operating table. His colleagues Dr. Jerry Chandler, Dr. Elizabeth Hayes, and Chaplain Sam Shafer try to reason Scott out of his funk, but the disillusioned doctor can only grimly clutch the doomed child's shabby doll and wonder at the point of it all. An answer comes in the form of a newborn infant with a congenital defect preventing it from taking food -- the baby's plight reminds Scott that his surgical skill has real purpose, after all. Includes commercials.
