Music: War, "Me and Baby Brother" (edit) This is the first appearance of Omar Epps as Dr. Gant. (edit) The name of the ER softball team is The Scrubs. (edit) Laura Innes becomes a series regular in this episode. (edit)

Carter: PHEW! What's THAT smell?
Carol: Code brown in the shorts and lots of blood too. (edit) Greene: Don't you want to talk to somebody before sex?
Ross: No, not really... (edit) Gant: Benton? He can't be that bad, can he? (edit) Dr. Melvoin: You are wedges. The wedge is the most primative tool known to man. That is you. You think you know what you're doing? Believe me, you don't. Breakfast with your senior surgical resident, Dr. Benton, begins in 15 minutes. Dr. Benton is an intern's worst nightmare. He's smarter than you, he never eats, never sleeps, and he reads every medical journal no matter how obscure. He is the Antichrist, Beelzebub, Lucifer, a devourer of wedges. You'll go to sleep at night wishing plague and pestilence on his unborn children, and you will wake up every morning praying for his approval. You won't get it. Welcome to hell, ladies and gentlemen. (edit) Carter: I don't know, I don't know! Somebody call a doctor!
Carol: You are the doctor. (edit)

Carol is working in this episode, after having quit in the previous episode. No explanation is ever given for her return to work. (edit) Wallace Langham (Dr. Melvoin) and George Clooney previously worked together in the 1986 made-for-TV movie Combat High. (edit) Before leaving for the softball game Carol tells the nurses that she is playing right field. However, she is shown in the game playing left field. (edit) In the episode "Summer Run" it is established that Shep hates country music, but in this episode we find out he has a Best of Conway Twitty tape. (edit)

The title of this episode is a spoof on a famous quote uttered by journalist Henry Morton Stanley. In 1871 he traveled to the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, in present-day Tanzania, in search of Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone, who had not been heard from in several years. When he found him, he greeted him with the words, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume." (edit) Shep asks Carol if she still has his Best of Conway Twitty tape. Twitty was a country music singer whose career spanned nearly 50 years. (edit)
