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.moreless

Episode Summary
Jeanie begins to realize the burden of living an HIV-positive life when bills start mounting up and Benton throws her out of a trauma. The staff nervously awaits news on the hospital's future when it's rumored to be closing. As it turns out, Southside is closed instead, and County takes on a new chief of staff, Dr. Anspaugh. Mark and Susan endure disastrous blind dates. Benton sends Carter to the ER for the day after he arrives late. Carter then talks a patient into a local anesthetic and encourages him to ask Benton questions during the operation.moreless

ADD TRIVIA- Goof: In the lounge, Greene and Ross struggle to uncap glass bottles of soda, which in 1996 would have been unlikely, as by then most glass pop bottles had twist-off caps. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Carol: Elizabeth, I haven't changed my mind. I really want to sell this place. Elizabeth: You're kidding. Carol: No. Is there a problem? Elizabeth: How can I put this delicately? (she pauses) I couldn't sell this place if the rest of Chicago burned down around it. Edit
- Jeanie: If you had tested positive, you would've quit? Benton: In a minute. Jeanie: Yeah, but you didn't test positive, did you. Edit
- (the staff is celebrating County's survival) Mark: I was just thinking how unusual it is to see our whole ensemble this happy. Jeanie: Especially about keeping a job where people puke on you. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Near the start of the episode, Carter is woken up by a neighbor knocking at the door. When Carter asks her what time it is, she replies that Live with Regis and Kathie Lee had just ended, sending Carter into a panic because he realizes he over-slept. The time must have been at or near 10:00am, as that is when Live ends. Edit
