ER: Insurrection

« prev episode next » episode

Lewis treats an end-stage Huntington's patient, whose mother has already watched her husband wither from the disease. Abby's brother Eric, an Air Force traffic controller, visits on his way to a new post in Nebraska. Carter tends to a 12-year-old drug-addicted prostitute with a serious STD, until her pimp shows up and whisks her away. Pratt aggravates a drug-seeking man who comes back brandishing a gun at Chen and Abby and demanding Demerol. Abby gives him his shot but purposefully ODs him. In the aftermath, Carter flips his lid, demanding better security and the installation of metal detectors. When Weaver refuses, Carter leads a walkout. Weaver eventually caves, albeit before telling Carter that he must fire three senior nurses by the next morning to make up the expense. Abby, Lewis and Chen go to a concert to decompress.

(talking to Susan about his walk-out over lack of security)
Carter: I got stabbed. Lucy got killed, and today Abby and Chen get a gun to their heads. I'm sorry. No. It's gotta stop. Otherwise, it's not worth doing.
Susan: I know Carter. You're an emergency room doctor. It's about getting through the shift. edit »
(Chen and Pratt, sorting through fingers)
Chen: You think this is a pinkie or a ring?
Pratt: Looks like a cocktail wienie. edit »

Older female patient: Wanna give me a reason to? edit »
Luka: Abby? I need a transfusion set up in 5.
Abby: O.k. In a minute.
Luka: It's the menstrual extraction victim.
Abby: I thought you cleared her.
Luka: No, a different one. Some kind of party.
Eric: One hell of a party. edit »
Susan: Luka is screaming for you. Says he's been waiting for 45 minutes for lighted speculum.
Abby: Well, I'm an hour and 45 minutes behind.
Susan: Great. Piss him off some more.
[later]
Abby: What's he pissed about?
Susan: Well...
Abby: About what?
Susan: Abby...
Abby: Oh, no. He doesn't care. Ew, nasty pressure-sore.
Susan: 10 by 18 cm by decubidus. Have you talked to him about it?
Abby: Why? I don't have to, he's fine. edit »
