Storyline Edit. Michael Crichton has created a medical drama that chronicles life and death in a Chicago hospital emergency room. Each episode tells the tale of another day in the ER, from the exciting to the mundane, and the joyous to the heart-rending.
Frenetic pacing, interwoven plot lines, and emotional rollercoastering is used to attempt to accurately depict the stressful environment found there. This show even portrays the plight of medical students in their quest to become physicians.
Did you know Edit. Trivia During an interview for the PBS series "Pioneers of Television," Noah Wyle said that while filming some of Carter's Africa storyline in the Kalahari Desert, the real on-set medic passed out from the heat, and Wyle who by that time had been filmed pretending to perform hundreds of simulated medical procedures for the television show actually inserted a real I.
Goofs None of the doctors or nurses performs CPR correctly, but if done with straight arms and enough force to make a difference, it can and often does break the patient's ribs. Obviously it's better to go without a factually accurate portrayal of the procedure than to injure the actors in the name of realism.
Quotes Dr. In light of all the media attention, the episode aired with the woman's breasts obscured. However, the episode continues to air in re-runs and syndication in its uncensored form.
User reviews Review. Top review. Even an indifferent episode is better than the alternatives. The Brit shows look leaden, and have far too many hammy and wooden actors. ER has set a very high standard of modern TV drama for 10 years. True, there have been the occasional duff episodes, but the urgency of the drama, combined with what looks like hand held camera work usually delivers punchy tension filled drama, with first rate performances.
Another contributor mentioned the only serious rival to ER, Chicago Hope, a show that was cheeky enough to have a character say "I was hoping to watch ER tonight", and had a hilarious scene which culminated in the death of a heart transplant patient!
Unfortunately, that show suffered with the loss of Mandy Patinkin, and began taking itself too seriously. ER may have lost most of its mainstays, especially Anthony Edwards, but it still is a far better option than any other medical drama.
I realise however, that it may struggle once Noah Wyle leaves. ColinBaker Apr 29, FAQ 3. Dr Peter Benton. Eriq La Salle. Dr Doug Ross. George Clooney. Abby Lockhart. Maura Tierney. Dr Gregory Pratt.
