Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
Dr. Kovac is unsettled about his responsibility to disqualify a series of patients with kidney failure when a precious donor organ becomes available, especially when one prospect is unaware that she's pregnant -- and must choose between the baby or the transplant operation. A few feet away, Dr. Romano decides to mix it up for a day in the ER trenches and clashes with two angry motorists as well as Dr. Weaver over proper treatment of a terminally ill pneumonia patient. Dr. Carter must do some fast-talking when a former patient, a diabetic young boy whose father previously had no insurance, reappears with dangerous symptoms. Drs. Finch and Benton are dressed down by Romano when a pharmacy misreads their scribbled prescription and issues a drug that nearly kills a constipated patient. Dr. Greene gets angry when Dr. Corday conspires with his crotchety father to place the senior Greene in a hospice.
