  • Dr. Robert Romano strikes again! He insists upon working in the ER "with the little people" and his Mont Blanc pens ends up in a patient's cheek.

    "Great"
    The on-going storyline with David Greene is touching and very realistic. Dr. Mark Greene's concern is measured. Dr. Elizabeth Corday's compassion is wonderful. She really comes through for Mr. David Greene. She has a level head in this storyline.

    Dr. Weaver's good side comes out. With all her career ambitions, it is nice to see that she can care about a mentally and physically handicapped woman. Now we can like her and dispise Dr. Romano.

    Dr. John Carter has to accept the outcome of the poor decision that he made a few months ago. He knew better, but in this case wisdom comes with experience.moreless
