Why I loved this series? because it has such a magnificent way of making us sympathize with the problems we maybe never would think. I, in environment I live, would never start to wonder what kind life the HIV positive might live. It just has no connection with me. But I do not think this is a thing I should not have to think. And I enjoyed this episode because it made me think, it made me wonder how the people who oneday found themselves in that kind of situations would handle it. And I can say, it not only made me wonder but also think how I could make it better...
great episode with some great news - they did not close the hospital. Susan and Greene were getting along very well, I think Kerry is getting settled in, but poor Carol - still struggling with painful memories and with her house. I am sorry for her.
A lot of energy in this episode. hide show
A great episode, with a lot of fun. I just love those ER parties, it has to be said! It was relieving to know that County itself wasn't being shut, even if Southside suffered it seems that County gained in the increase of some great new doctors. And hey, the resulting party made the episode!
