If you didn't watch the whole series, its important to know the relationship between Lucy and Dr. Romano (the surgeon who tried to save her at the end). Dr. Romano was extremely cold, harsh, amd abrasive. He didn't form bonds with colleagues and was an all around unlikeable person. But he respected Lucy because she stood up to him without fear while advocation for a patient. That was something noone else did, and he respected her for it. He really cared about her and that's why he took it so hard when he couldn't save her. The writers did a few scenes that showed his humanity and this was one of them
I became an ER RN because of this show. Nothing will ever compare to this show, not Grey’s Anatomy or House or any of the Chicago MED, Fire or PD shows. ER was sublime.
Just my opinion, but there will never be a show like ER was in it's prime. There never was a hospital drama, nor will there ever be, something like ER.
After this episode a few years laters I was orienting as a nurse in ICU in the break room they had a butcher block full of knives in it…their break room had free rein that anyone could walk in there…I pointed out to the manager if you get an emotional family member or visitor there…it could end up like Carter and Lucy in that episode when they were stabbed. Five minutes laters the knives were gone.
This is the show that inspired me to become a nurse. 18 years and still going strong. On a “bad” day I always ask myself WWCD…what would Carol/Carter/Conway/Chuny/Chen do 😂
I was a nursing department staffing coordinator for years, one of my nursing supervisors on a 11-7 shift in psych got beaten to within an inch of her life checking an open cafeteria door.
I remember watching these two episodes. The end of the first was such a shock with "Battle Flag" playing and Carter falling down to see Lucy already on the ground. ER was must see TV back in the day. Now my daughter is headed off to college and wants to be a doctor. I think she needs to watch ER.
If I remember right, this patient had been awake for days because he was a law student. He perceived the MDs of stabbing him in the back when doing the LP, so they called a psych consult but the pt stabbed the MDs in the back like he thought they did to him. He came back years later, and was lucid and super calm, but it threw Carter in a major PTSD episode. It’s been a LONG time since I saw this season but that is what I remember.
So the episode before this one answers a lot of your questions. The patient presented with a headache and they ruled out meningitis but the med student noticed that he seemed paranoid and after talking to him, she told the resident that she thought he was schizophrenic. She ordered a psych consult and while waiting for it, the patient snuck into the doctor’s lounge and stole the knife for the cake. The viewers don’t see him stab the med student but we can piece together what happened. Later, the resident goes to check on the patient and when he walks into the room, the patient sneaks up from behind him and stabs him. When he collapses, he sees the med student lying on the other side of the bed, covered in blood.
Exactly right! I remember also how the patient, Mr. Zobriki I think, was so angry that Lucy did a spinal fluid extraction. It also traumatized and escalated his fear of doctors. Hence, the rampage…..
This episode and the episode where Mark passes away and the episode after where the staff find out had me in tears. Because of this Carter becomes addicted to pain meds. Theres an episode where yrs later the patient and Carter met again in the ER. Theres also an episode in the last season where Carter ends up needing a kidney transplant because he had malaria and it affected his last kidney.
I saw this episode when it premiered (you saw Carter and Lucy get stabbed at the end of the previous episode), and it sill hits hard. Dr. Benton was my favorite here because he always road Carter hard but you finally see how much he cares for him. Here and in the season finale when he gets Carter on the plane (if you know, you know).
Great reaction to one of the saddest episodes of the series! I just came across this while looking for reactions for this show. This is actually one of the only reaction videos that I've seen for "ER". No matter how many times I watch this episode, from the moment that Carter and Lucy are taken into the trauma rooms my emotions are all over the place throughout the rest of the episode. One of the best scenes is when Benton is rushing down the stairs after getting the news, and he bumps into that cop. His focus was getting to Carter. John Carter was Benton's med student since the first episode, and was Benton's intern for him for seasons 1 thru most of 3. They had one of the best friendships. It's probably already been mentioned already but the reason why Dr. Romano tried so hard to save Lucy and then reacted the way he did to her death was because she earned so much respect from him. Two or three episodes before this one, Lucy went to Romano's house, on Christmas, and stood up to him for a patient that needed a new heart. 15:32 You talked about Carter having survivors guilt. He really goes through a lot for the rest of this season(season 6). The episodes "Such Sweet Sorrow" and "May Day" of season 6 really touch on what he went through. Again, thanks for the reaction video. And giving your medical knowledge. It's amazing how accurate this show is. Feel free to react to some more episodes of "ER" or the whole series, and provide your knowledge. I know I would watch, comment, and like all of them. 😊
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your support! 😊 are there specific episodes of ER (or any other shows/clips/etc) that you’d like to see broken down/reactions to? 😊
@@JessTheMD I mentioned the two episodes of "ER", Such Sweet Sorrow and May Day, in my comments. Those two episodes not only deal with what Dr. Carter was going through after the attack, but it also has some great medical moments in them as well. Those are the last two episodes of season 6. The very first episode of "ER" might be fun for you to watch as well. 😊 If there's any other really good "ER" or "House MD" episodes that I think that you might like, I'll send them your way. Those are the only two medical shows that I really watch.
@@JessTheMD "Twenty-One Guns" and "Bloodline" is a two part episode (12x22 and 13x01). After "All in the family" (this episode) those are my favorite episodes.
@@JessTheMD -*Where There’s Smoke* - season 9 - (Kerry’s wife, Sandy, sadly passes away from severe injuries succumbed in a fire), *Twenty-One Guns* and *Bloodline" is the two - part episode, respectively ending season 12, and beginning season 13 🥰 (Thanks in advance 👌🏻)
It takes a long time for Carter to come back from this. Between the mental trauma and severe pain, he becomes addicted to opioids and we get to watch his death spiral. Fortunately his friends see it too and in an emotional episode where Carter slugs Benton and breaks down, he finally goes into rehab and comes back wiser than ever.
Considering the show was created by Michael Crighton (who graduated from Harvard medical) with 2 medical advisors on set to help with script writing and a lot of the background staff were real nurses, I'd expect the show to be pretty accurate. Obviously not 100% since the drama is story line driven.
I didn't know if he actually graduated. I knew he went to medical school though! I guess he did receive his M.D. even though he never practiced medicine. Amazing.
Paul (the patient) was in the ER first presenting with some mild headaches and memory loss. He deteriorated over a few hours and started the beginnings of a mental episode after vomiting. Paul was left with the medical student (Lucy) with an order of monitoring and wait for Psych eval. Paul saw something and broke down completely stabbing Lucy and waited in the dark to stab John. He ran like a deer outside seeing who knows what and was captured in the middle of traffic by police and EMTs and brought back into the ER in full psychosis. He was medically checked and finally restrained with Psych finally seeing him, Paul was transferred to a psychiatric facility and was on supervised release when we see him again. The thing is the actor who played Paul actually went on to play one of the best leads on prime time television. He would become Charlie Epps the Math genius and professor at UC also a math consultant for the LA FBI branch under his brother Don in the show Num3ers.
Rob Morrow is the actors name and my favorite fun fact is that he named his daughter Tu. Tu Morrow. I have no idea what her middle name is or if there even is one, but I always found it funny. And in other related notes, the brother Charlie in Numb3rs is played by David Krumholtz who played Bernard the elf in The Santa Clause, shares my birthday.
@@LittleLondonCottages Paul Sobricki is played by David Krumholtz. Rob Morrow is older and....not Paul Sobricki.I'm a huge Rob Morrow fan, loved him so much on Northern Exposure and in Quiz Show.
so apparently one of the reasons that the actress had to leave the show was that she lost her sister to lupus and it was just too hard to be in a pretend hospital. I cannot even imagine putting out that level of performance while dealing with that grief
John was expecting Lucy to keep up but he wasn't listening to her! But John should have been monitored better! And I get that working the ER is a high stress job but that party was too much! I remember screaming about the loud music and thinking they were drowning out those call buttons and beeping machines!
Lovely and informative reaction, thank you! I loved ER, and I think there was and still is no better medical drama to watch. Hope you will do more episodes!
Haha, well, the whole thing, of course :D But "Love’s Labor Lost" (1/19) is the obvious choice. It’s an amazing and complex episode and a must-watch! It’s also the one many have already reacted to. Next to that, I’d love to see the following: The pilot “24 hours” (1/1) because it literally "sets the tone" and it would be a great possibility to compare this with your own beginnings. “Exodus” (4/15) which shows a young doctor stepping up to take charge and really earning his stripes. And I’d like a reaction to “Lockdown” (8/22) - it’s much later in the series but I watched it again a few years ago because of the Covid situation. What would be the procedures in hospital today in such a dangerous situation? How would people react? @@JessTheMD
I’ll add them to the list!! Thank you! ❤️ I am also starting a patreon where I’ll be posting uncut episodes as well, if you’d like to join! That’ll go live in the next 1-2 weeks 😊 I even plan to do some live streams of whole eps where we watch together 😊
This was such an interesting video, I remember watching it when it first aired as a double episode and traumatised then and every time I watch it 💔 Lucy was such a great character 😢 Carter and Lucy’s relationship was super important to the story line. And in later episodes Sorobreki comes back and Carter has to treat him which was so painful to watch 😔
Some context from a lifelong fan of ER (and medical shows in general as I grew up in and out of hospitals). ER was created by Michael Crichten, the author of Jurassic Park, who went to med school before becoming a writer. ER is often seen even today as one of the most accurate shows out there. The older white doctor is an older attending, while the black doctor (Benton) is a surgical attending who was mentoring Carter (the guy who was stabbed), while Benton was a doctor with quite an attitude he does occasionally show he cares as he feels responsible for him. Lucy, the female doctor was a resident who Carter was mentoring. This was a shocker episode when it aired with many voicing displeasure at the characters death. The story would also have a profound effect on Carter that was long lasting.
@@JessTheMDno problem, I highly recommend ER just from the medical standpoint. The human drama is good too, but it's amazing how even without a medical degree how many med terms I understood growing up because I heard it in real life. Dr Green, Dr Benton, Dr Carter, the nurses, all felt like real people. As much as I like Grey's Anatomy and House those all look like they should be in a Victoria Secret catalog lol.
I don't know if you knew the show before watching this, but Carter (the male victim) and Benton (his surgeon) had a lot of history together. Benton was Carter's long term mentor, starting when Carter did his ER rotation as a student. He was extremely rough on Carter and rarely gave the approval Carter sought, but he grew to admire Carter.
It's my favorite episode even though it's so shocking, or because it's so shocking, and it's such a real depiction of life on ER. Fun Fact: I own one of the Trauma 1 tiles in Trauma 1 Lucy was treated first and this makes it all the nicer to own such a tile.
I honestly forgot how much I loved it until I watched this episode! I watched it decades ago… I remember almost zero, and was obviously much younger when I watched it. I started watching some more of it and am pleasantly surprised by how medically accurate it is! There are still some things that aren’t 100% accurate, but from what I’ve watched so far, whatever medical professional they had on staff consulting did an excellent job!
@@valeriazenoni6478 I looked it up! Apparently he got his MD and then pursued a career in writing/film instead. HOW COOL!!!! What a way to combine the two - with this amazing show!! ❤
I don't think I'm the same person that I was before watching ER. This show is incredible. Carter was never the same after this episode, he had a lot of problems dealing with the trauma
The reason the show was so popular and successful is because ACTUAL doctors consulted on the show and taught the actors proper pronunciations, lingo, procedures etc.
From what I understand, most of the other shows also have actual doctors consulting on the show 😊 I think the biggest difference for ER is that the *creator* of the show was a doctor as well ❤️
Really loved your reaction! Loved the way you made this video! I love ER, I grew up watching it and it's so underrated. I mean they went on for 15 seasons and tackled alot of serious issues no other shows did at the time, given that it began in 1994! It has so many amazing and interesting cases, but I would love to see you react to 8.22 Lockdown, which is basically about contagion and the ER going into lockdown due to smallpox, and it's really interesting to see what plays out, esp due to the last three years... Hope to see more reactions!
You should watch the episode “Beyond Repair” where Paul comes back and tries to apologize to Carter for the stabbing after being treated for his schizophrenia. It’s episode 11 in season 8.
To a layman like me, ER always had an air of authenticity...although I hadn't the first clue whether or not that impression was truly earned. It's nice to have the insights of a working medical professional to confirm that, yes, they DID do their research when they were producing this outstanding drama. I loved the show; I loved the characters and the actors portraying them.
I watched both episodes to this storyline, when they first aired back in 2000. It still haunts me how fast Carter and Lucy got severely st-bbed and Dr. weaver finds them a few hours later. So scary!!!!
One of the most memorable episodes of a pretty great show. The actors all amped up their focus appropriate to a situation where their collogues were the trauma victims.
Noah while told in an interview he was irritated with her, because she as a newbie on set got her own 2 episode arc. He admits he treated Kellie cold but later apologized for letting his ego get in the way.
Its funny you talk about stuffing down those feelings and dealing with them at another time, it's what you do. I remember my first arrest. A lady from another hospital suddenly decompensated. She wasnt even my patient but the crash bell went and we all ran, some of us got stuck in and others were given secondary roles to fill. Anyway, you just get on with it at the time, and it wasn't until I was testing the ABG (we have a gas analyzer in my unit so we can all run samples) that it hit me - the results come up and I knew she was gone. It was like slow-mo, as I tore the print out and ran around to the bed...I felt like the Grim Reaper. Sure enough, they called it. I had to leave. I went off and sat somewhere quiet, cried it out, took 5 and then just pushed it down and got on, I had 12 other patients who needed me. Then I went to resign that morning and was told to go away and think about it, not make rash decisions that would have long-last consequences. But I didn't want to be the reason anyone else died, which is how I viewed it at the time - if I'd not done the analysis correctly or if I'd not delivered the results to the clinical lead, if I'd dropped the syringe...that patient may have gotten a few more rounds of CPR and still be alive (I know she wouldn't have survived, we couldn't get her back). Even though I didn't know this woman, I never met her, it crushed me. I didn't resign, and I'm glad I didn't. Every day I get to make a difference and I don't want that to end. But I often think about that poor woman and her family and how, at least in a small way, I contributed to one of their worst days. I hope she rests in peace.
Wow, I completely understand you. It’s a LOT to carry. You know how much good you’re doing, but the heartbreaking moments still don’t hurt any less, even if you didn’t know the patients well. I’ve had similar experiences, and I can still see the people’s faces when they realized that they are dying and how scared they were. Forever burned in my memory. I’m sorry you’ve dealt with this, but also thank you for all you’ve done to help so many too ❤️
I was maybe…18, when I watched this? Had a gallbladder working at 12%, barely eating, and just counting down the days until my cholecystectomy (less than one week after my Gr 12 graduation). I mean, this didn’t help my (at the time) fear of hospitals and surgery…but this is life. I’m 42 now, with MS and more. Oh, how young and naive I was…!
First and foremost great review. I love how you broke down the medical info. And somebody who was born 6 weeks early and I had a stroke at birth resulting in cerebral palsy. I also had a lot of stomach issues growing up. I had a I don't know if my talk to text will spell this quickly so please work with me. Nissen stomach surgery for acid reflux at one point in my life I had 53 hospitals days in 2 and 1/2 years because of stomach issues. When I was 14 I had back surgery for scoliosis. During the recovery process I got into ER and it became my favorite show. I've gravitated toward medical shows ever since. I bought the show and literally watch it when it's my go-to show when nothing else is on I watch ER. I've probably watched the entire 15 season over 300 episodes run 12 times if not more. And no matter how many times I watched this show this episode you reviewed and the episode on the beach from season 8 where Mark Green dies still get me jumped up to this day. The fact that John Carter's survivors guilt led to a drug addiction for his character is one of the things I loved about the show they showed the consequences of what people go through. From when Mark lost the patient because of missed preeclampsia in season 1 and how he shut down from that. And Carter's addiction because of Lucy's death in the whole incident of being stabbed and this show had great writing and acting because you can really feel the emotions. Once again thank you for your review
@@JessTheMD Yes but we all go through a lot during life at some point or another it's just a part of life on some level. All we can do is make the most of it and live the best life we can.
Just a quick comment to say I've seen a few reactions to ER and yours has been the best. Well done, doc. 😊 Other eps of ER I recommend you react to are "Lockdown" and "Chaos" (the season 8 finale, season 9 opener, double episode) and "Freefall" (season 9) which gets a bad rap, but from a medicine standpoint is pretty good. "Skin" from season 11 was good...heavy, but good. And then "21 Guns" and "Bloodline" (season 12 finale, season 13 opener, double 3pisode).
S04e15 Exodus is also pretty good! It has a toxic spillover in the ER which causes huge chaos. It really shows how much the doctors, nurses, medical staff and assistants want to take care of the patients despite having to macguff it
LOVED the reaction! I’m glad you picked a different episode other than the pilot. This one is such an iconic moment in the series. If you do more, I suggest the finale of S11 “the show must go on” or the beginning of S13 “bloodline” Also? 😂 “he needs serious therapy” listen: John Carter and therapy don’t mix 😂
I didn't watch the whole run of ER but that one Dr who said "Don't worry we've put too much into your training to lose you now," that might have even been his way of showing love. I know he's a bit abrasive (possibly Aspergers?) but he's HIGHLY competent. Kinda of like Dr. Craig was on St. Elsewhere (arguably the progenitor of ER).
I did. I personally knew two people who were later diagnosed with schizophrenia. The first guy was a typical presentation in his early 20s and I never heard of any additional complictions or any violence with him. The second man atypically presented in his late 30s and there had been a long history of some drug use and minor violence, but his crowning achievement as a paranoid schizophrenic was the murder of his mother which got him condemned to spending the rest of his life in a psychiatric prison facility. He died recently. Best rock 'n roll drummer I ever played with and people who knew him still speak in total awe of his talent which thankfully lives on in recorded music.
I first watched this series in 2016 and this episode seriously affected me. I liked Lucy's character and her death was hard for me to handle. Thanks for your insights on how real the show portrayed the medical procedures.
yesterday at work I had to sit for a level 3.....funny how life imitates art sometimes....luckily I had no issues but not going to lie, this clip in the back of my mind!!!! I like the new 'key chain' alarms they gave me for a panic response. @@JessTheMD
Kerry saying "Your blaming Carter" always bothered me as she is trying to throw blame, then becomes upset when they are acknowledging everything was done by the book and things still led to what they led to.
Definitely agreed! It’s important to figure out what happened to potentially prevent something like that from ever happening again, but it’s absolutely NOT about assigning blame! ❤️
@@JessTheMD "...but it’s absolutely NOT about assigning blame!" And that's a major reason why I disliked Kerry's character so often. She doesn't care about that. She, many times in these situations, is doing just that.
Oh that’s not great as a chief. 😔 I need to rewatch this whole show!! I watched it way back when as a kid, and I feel like I would definitely see it differently through the eyes of a now-attending! 😊
I remember watching this episode when I was 14 and being absolutely devastated when Lucy dies. First the panic you feel when Carter and Lucy are laying on the ground bleeding out and you see people walking by the door not realizing it. Then Weaver's reaction to find them. Then all the craziness as they try and stabilize them and just being dumbstruck when Lucy actually dies. Spoiler... The stabber shows up at the hospital and Carter runs into him two years later. He's out of the psych facility and medicated and he'd fallen and hit his head. The look on Carter's face is just devastating.
I would actually like to see you react to the show St, Elsewhere (80s, for me the best medical show ever). I'm curious to see how it would hold up after all this time for a medical professional.
@@JessTheMD Oh gosh. It's been so long. There are some memorable ones for me but they're not about medicine, they're about relationships and culture. Basically without St. Elsewhere ER doesn't happen. It also has one of the best musical themes ever written, by Dave Grusin. Here's the opening credit sequence. Check it out. Some of the actors might surprise you: ruclips.net/video/_ALRQgNRQA8/видео.html
Black or Dark humour, I think is common for people who deal with these things. I remember watching the extras on a Rizzoli & Iles box set, where the actor and one of the series writers did ride alongside with the police department. Some of this made it to one of the episodes.
Dr. Romano, the surgeon who tried to save Lucy had a history with her. He was known to be extremely abrasive to everyone and really had no friends. Earlierr in the series, Lucy came up with an idea to save a patient, and Romano was the only one who could do the procedure. Lucy called him at home on his vacation and he refused to come in. Shw showed up at his house and continued to plead with him. She wasn't afraid of him, and he respected her for that. He let her assist with the procedure.
I sure did! 😅🙈 someone here recommended just this episode specifically, so I watched it! Later I did go back and watch the prior episode, when I learned that this was sort of a two-parter! 😊
Is it true once you’re in asystolee that shocking the heart does nothing? Heart compressions is all you can do and you ain’t coming back from asystolee right?
Do you think teh saddle embolism was due to teh tamponade, or since the coup de grat of Lucy was due to additional clots forming after the reversal of heparin. Should Lizzy have withdrawn the heparin and maybe Lucy would not have gone out that way?
I doubt it was caused by the tamponade. I think it had more to do with her hypercoagulable state, and when they reversed heparin, everything just started clotting off, including her lung vasculature 😕
I ended up going down a rabbit hole and watching the eps leading up to this and a bunch after, including that 3 years later follow up one (I think you’re talking about when that patient comes back in for another injury, and he’s “doing fine and it’s not his fault”, etc)… it was…. Interesting…… I can’t say I loved that whole episode lol
Can you please do another ER reaction? My top favorites are “Love Labors Lost,” “Time of Death,” “Body and Soul,” “Heal Thyself,” “21 Guns + Bloodline (double feature),” “Blizzard,” “Hell and High Water,” “Old Times,” “Damage Is Done,” “Orion in the Sky,” there are so many great episodes.
It’s better with the newer videos… whoever edited this (me) was still learning 😝 this was one of the first videos I edited by myself and have since learned quite a bit 😉
@@JessTheMD I see. Any chance you could react to more ER stuff? You're the only one who's done a reaction for this show besides Doctor Mike, and I don't think he would even see my comment.
@@JessTheMDI've got the perfect episode to recommend. Season 4, episode 15, Exodus. A dangerous chemical spills in the hospital, and it is just pure chaos. I'd love to see what you think about it, and how much you can tell us about what's happening, what they're doing right or wrong. And maybe the after-effect of this video, in the season 6 finale. There might not be much educational value in it, since Carter's (the one who lived in this video) coworkers are just trying to get him into rehab, but perhaps you could salvage something because that's not the whole episode. I just watched it for the first time, and really want to see someone else's reaction of it, lol. The acting is phenomenal.
Constructive criticism on your editting, I find it really hard when your camera is zooming in and out as you're talking and the moving and lighting change between clips. But I appreciate that lighting change may be difficult for you to control. Doesn't take away from being a really interesting reaction!
I do recommend the Episode of House M.D. From Season 1 Episode 9 called "DNR" and I recommend Season 1 Episode 21 "Three Stories" they are my most fav from Season 1 of House M.D. and my most favorite House M.D. Episode is Season 3 Episode 14 about a girl with CIPA entitled "Insensative"
If you didn't watch the whole series, its important to know the relationship between Lucy and Dr. Romano (the surgeon who tried to save her at the end). Dr. Romano was extremely cold, harsh, amd abrasive. He didn't form bonds with colleagues and was an all around unlikeable person. But he respected Lucy because she stood up to him without fear while advocation for a patient. That was something noone else did, and he respected her for it. He really cared about her and that's why he took it so hard when he couldn't save her. The writers did a few scenes that showed his humanity and this was one of them
So true, I've watched the whole series about 6 times and I know these things as well. People don't realise how good this show is.
Just the way Romano says: "Move it, Peter, I got this" gives me chills.
I vaguely remember this from when I watched the whole series way back when! This was an excellent episode!
When she coded and he jumped back in to try and save her, that hit me in the feels.
@@JessTheMDI can never forget this one.
I became an ER RN because of this show. Nothing will ever compare to this show, not Grey’s Anatomy or House or any of the Chicago MED, Fire or PD shows. ER was sublime.
Agreed!
Just my opinion, but there will never be a show like ER was in it's prime. There never was a hospital drama, nor will there ever be, something like ER.
After this episode a few years laters I was orienting as a nurse in ICU in the break room they had a butcher block full of knives in it…their break room had free rein that anyone could walk in there…I pointed out to the manager if you get an emotional family member or visitor there…it could end up like Carter and Lucy in that episode when they were stabbed. Five minutes laters the knives were gone.
When Benton runs down the stairs, bumps into the cop and the moment he sees Carter and realises how bad it is.. Breaks me every time.
Omg yes!
This is the show that inspired me to become a nurse. 18 years and still going strong. On a “bad” day I always ask myself WWCD…what would Carol/Carter/Conway/Chuny/Chen do 😂
I was a nursing department staffing coordinator for years, one of my nursing supervisors on a 11-7 shift in psych got beaten to within an inch of her life checking an open cafeteria door.
I remember watching these two episodes. The end of the first was such a shock with "Battle Flag" playing and Carter falling down to see Lucy already on the ground. ER was must see TV back in the day.
Now my daughter is headed off to college and wants to be a doctor. I think she needs to watch ER.
I agree, she should watch ER.
If I remember right, this patient had been awake for days because he was a law student. He perceived the MDs of stabbing him in the back when doing the LP, so they called a psych consult but the pt stabbed the MDs in the back like he thought they did to him. He came back years later, and was lucid and super calm, but it threw Carter in a major PTSD episode. It’s been a LONG time since I saw this season but that is what I remember.
What fan doesn't remember this episode?
Poor Lucy didn't stand a chance. 😢😢😢
So awful 😔
@@JessTheMD it really was. 😭
This is one of the reasons why I love ER more than any other medical show, is the realism.
This show was/is the best medical show. It was the most realistic.
So the episode before this one answers a lot of your questions. The patient presented with a headache and they ruled out meningitis but the med student noticed that he seemed paranoid and after talking to him, she told the resident that she thought he was schizophrenic. She ordered a psych consult and while waiting for it, the patient snuck into the doctor’s lounge and stole the knife for the cake. The viewers don’t see him stab the med student but we can piece together what happened. Later, the resident goes to check on the patient and when he walks into the room, the patient sneaks up from behind him and stabs him. When he collapses, he sees the med student lying on the other side of the bed, covered in blood.
Oh that definitely does fill in a lot of blanks! Thank you! 😊
You really need to watch both episodes! To watch only this one you're really missing out on part 1 of the 2 part episode. @JessTheMD
Lucy. The "med student's" name is Lucy Knight. She was a major character for two years leading up to this episode
Exactly right! I remember also how the patient, Mr. Zobriki I think, was so angry that Lucy did a spinal fluid extraction. It also traumatized and escalated his fear of doctors. Hence, the rampage…..
This episode and the episode where Mark passes away and the episode after where the staff find out had me in tears. Because of this Carter becomes addicted to pain meds. Theres an episode where yrs later the patient and Carter met again in the ER. Theres also an episode in the last season where Carter ends up needing a kidney transplant because he had malaria and it affected his last kidney.
For real. And the episode where Mark was working on the pregnant woman who died(Loves Labours Lost).
@@feraltaco4783 Oh yeah that one was horrible too. And the one with Benton's nephew jfc
Mark Greene, Lucy Knight, and Michael Gallant’s deaths are by far the saddest ones 😭😭😭
I saw this episode when it premiered (you saw Carter and Lucy get stabbed at the end of the previous episode), and it sill hits hard. Dr. Benton was my favorite here because he always road Carter hard but you finally see how much he cares for him. Here and in the season finale when he gets Carter on the plane (if you know, you know).
Great reaction to one of the saddest episodes of the series!
I just came across this while looking for reactions for this show. This is actually one of the only reaction videos that I've seen for "ER".
No matter how many times I watch this episode, from the moment that Carter and Lucy are taken into the trauma rooms my emotions are all over the place throughout the rest of the episode.
One of the best scenes is when Benton is rushing down the stairs after getting the news, and he bumps into that cop. His focus was getting to Carter. John Carter was Benton's med student since the first episode, and was Benton's intern for him for seasons 1 thru most of 3. They had one of the best friendships.
It's probably already been mentioned already but the reason why Dr. Romano tried so hard to save Lucy and then reacted the way he did to her death was because she earned so much respect from him. Two or three episodes before this one, Lucy went to Romano's house, on Christmas, and stood up to him for a patient that needed a new heart.
15:32 You talked about Carter having survivors guilt. He really goes through a lot for the rest of this season(season 6). The episodes "Such Sweet Sorrow" and "May Day" of season 6 really touch on what he went through.
Again, thanks for the reaction video. And giving your medical knowledge. It's amazing how accurate this show is.
Feel free to react to some more episodes of "ER" or the whole series, and provide your knowledge. I know I would watch, comment, and like all of them. 😊
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your support! 😊 are there specific episodes of ER (or any other shows/clips/etc) that you’d like to see broken down/reactions to? 😊
@@JessTheMD I mentioned the two episodes of "ER", Such Sweet Sorrow and May Day, in my comments. Those two episodes not only deal with what Dr. Carter was going through after the attack, but it also has some great medical moments in them as well. Those are the last two episodes of season 6. The very first episode of "ER" might be fun for you to watch as well. 😊
If there's any other really good "ER" or "House MD" episodes that I think that you might like, I'll send them your way. Those are the only two medical shows that I really watch.
@@JessTheMD "Twenty-One Guns" and "Bloodline" is a two part episode (12x22 and 13x01). After "All in the family" (this episode) those are my favorite episodes.
How could any fan forget this episode?
@@JessTheMD -*Where There’s Smoke* - season 9 - (Kerry’s wife, Sandy, sadly passes away from severe injuries succumbed in a fire), *Twenty-One Guns* and *Bloodline" is the two - part episode, respectively ending season 12, and beginning season 13 🥰 (Thanks in advance 👌🏻)
It takes a long time for Carter to come back from this. Between the mental trauma and severe pain, he becomes addicted to opioids and we get to watch his death spiral. Fortunately his friends see it too and in an emotional episode where Carter slugs Benton and breaks down, he finally goes into rehab and comes back wiser than ever.
The show also dealt brilliantly with the aftermath of everything that happens in this episode. It was so well written snd performed.
The first 15 minutes of that episode is so intense.
SO INTENSE!
Considering the show was created by Michael Crighton (who graduated from Harvard medical) with 2 medical advisors on set to help with script writing and a lot of the background staff were real nurses, I'd expect the show to be pretty accurate. Obviously not 100% since the drama is story line driven.
I didn't know if he actually graduated. I knew he went to medical school though! I guess he did receive his M.D. even though he never practiced medicine. Amazing.
Paul (the patient) was in the ER first presenting with some mild headaches and memory loss. He deteriorated over a few hours and started the beginnings of a mental episode after vomiting. Paul was left with the medical student (Lucy) with an order of monitoring and wait for Psych eval. Paul saw something and broke down completely stabbing Lucy and waited in the dark to stab John. He ran like a deer outside seeing who knows what and was captured in the middle of traffic by police and EMTs and brought back into the ER in full psychosis. He was medically checked and finally restrained with Psych finally seeing him, Paul was transferred to a psychiatric facility and was on supervised release when we see him again.
The thing is the actor who played Paul actually went on to play one of the best leads on prime time television. He would become Charlie Epps the Math genius and professor at UC also a math consultant for the LA FBI branch under his brother Don in the show Num3ers.
Not to mention Mr. Universe in 'Serenity'!
Rob Morrow is the actors name and my favorite fun fact is that he named his daughter Tu. Tu Morrow. I have no idea what her middle name is or if there even is one, but I always found it funny.
And in other related notes, the brother Charlie in Numb3rs is played by David Krumholtz who played Bernard the elf in The Santa Clause, shares my birthday.
@@LittleLondonCottagesPaul Sobricki was played by David Krumholtz.
@@lauraelliott6909 nope it was charlie
@@LittleLondonCottages Paul Sobricki is played by David Krumholtz. Rob Morrow is older and....not Paul Sobricki.I'm a huge Rob Morrow fan, loved him so much on Northern Exposure and in Quiz Show.
One of the best episodes of ER! Thanks for the review! :))
It was SUCH a good episode!!! Glad someone recommended it! ❤️😍
so apparently one of the reasons that the actress had to leave the show was that she lost her sister to lupus and it was just too hard to be in a pretend hospital. I cannot even imagine putting out that level of performance while dealing with that grief
John was expecting Lucy to keep up but he wasn't listening to her! But John should have been monitored better! And I get that working the ER is a high stress job but that party was too much! I remember screaming about the loud music and thinking they were drowning out those call buttons and beeping machines!
Lovely and informative reaction, thank you! I loved ER, and I think there was and still is no better medical drama to watch. Hope you will do more episodes!
Thank you so much!! Definitely! Any specific episodes you’d like to see? 😊
Haha, well, the whole thing, of course :D But "Love’s Labor Lost" (1/19) is the obvious choice. It’s an amazing and complex episode and a must-watch! It’s also the one many have already reacted to. Next to that, I’d love to see the following:
The pilot “24 hours” (1/1) because it literally "sets the tone" and it would be a great possibility to compare this with your own beginnings. “Exodus” (4/15) which shows a young doctor stepping up to take charge and really earning his stripes. And I’d like a reaction to “Lockdown” (8/22) - it’s much later in the series but I watched it again a few years ago because of the Covid situation. What would be the procedures in hospital today in such a dangerous situation? How would people react?
@@JessTheMD
I’ll add them to the list!! Thank you! ❤️ I am also starting a patreon where I’ll be posting uncut episodes as well, if you’d like to join! That’ll go live in the next 1-2 weeks 😊 I even plan to do some live streams of whole eps where we watch together 😊
I LOVE this show, it was one of the BEST medical shows EVER!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
If you watch the episode before you can see the change in his mental illness. Lucy the intern figured it out but Carter was busy with other interns
This was such an interesting video, I remember watching it when it first aired as a double episode and traumatised then and every time I watch it 💔 Lucy was such a great character 😢
Carter and Lucy’s relationship was super important to the story line. And in later episodes Sorobreki comes back and Carter has to treat him which was so painful to watch 😔
Thank you! I watched ER way back in the late 90s... I feel like I should re-watch the whole show, just for myself. So many interesting plot lines ❤️
Same. This episode sticks with me to this day.
Some context from a lifelong fan of ER (and medical shows in general as I grew up in and out of hospitals).
ER was created by Michael Crichten, the author of Jurassic Park, who went to med school before becoming a writer. ER is often seen even today as one of the most accurate shows out there.
The older white doctor is an older attending, while the black doctor (Benton) is a surgical attending who was mentoring Carter (the guy who was stabbed), while Benton was a doctor with quite an attitude he does occasionally show he cares as he feels responsible for him. Lucy, the female doctor was a resident who Carter was mentoring. This was a shocker episode when it aired with many voicing displeasure at the characters death. The story would also have a profound effect on Carter that was long lasting.
Thank you so much for that!! ❤️
@@JessTheMDno problem, I highly recommend ER just from the medical standpoint. The human drama is good too, but it's amazing how even without a medical degree how many med terms I understood growing up because I heard it in real life.
Dr Green, Dr Benton, Dr Carter, the nurses, all felt like real people. As much as I like Grey's Anatomy and House those all look like they should be in a Victoria Secret catalog lol.
I don't know if you knew the show before watching this, but Carter (the male victim) and Benton (his surgeon) had a lot of history together. Benton was Carter's long term mentor, starting when Carter did his ER rotation as a student. He was extremely rough on Carter and rarely gave the approval Carter sought, but he grew to admire Carter.
It's my favorite episode even though it's so shocking, or because it's so shocking, and it's such a real depiction of life on ER.
Fun Fact: I own one of the Trauma 1 tiles in Trauma 1 Lucy was treated first and this makes it all the nicer to own such a tile.
I love E.R. Really. I've watched a few medical shows but this is by far my favourite
I honestly forgot how much I loved it until I watched this episode! I watched it decades ago… I remember almost zero, and was obviously much younger when I watched it. I started watching some more of it and am pleasantly surprised by how medically accurate it is! There are still some things that aren’t 100% accurate, but from what I’ve watched so far, whatever medical professional they had on staff consulting did an excellent job!
@@JessTheMD I think the creator himself Michael Crichton was a doctor or in any case worked in the medical field
@@valeriazenoni6478 I looked it up! Apparently he got his MD and then pursued a career in writing/film instead. HOW COOL!!!! What a way to combine the two - with this amazing show!! ❤
I don't think I'm the same person that I was before watching ER. This show is incredible. Carter was never the same after this episode, he had a lot of problems dealing with the trauma
The reason the show was so popular and successful is because ACTUAL doctors consulted on the show and taught the actors proper pronunciations, lingo, procedures etc.
From what I understand, most of the other shows also have actual doctors consulting on the show 😊 I think the biggest difference for ER is that the *creator* of the show was a doctor as well ❤️
@@JessTheMDwell Michael chricton did base it on his experience as an e.r. Doctor
Really loved your reaction! Loved the way you made this video! I love ER, I grew up watching it and it's so underrated. I mean they went on for 15 seasons and tackled alot of serious issues no other shows did at the time, given that it began in 1994! It has so many amazing and interesting cases, but I would love to see you react to 8.22 Lockdown, which is basically about contagion and the ER going into lockdown due to smallpox, and it's really interesting to see what plays out, esp due to the last three years... Hope to see more reactions!
Thank you sooo much! I did watch that episode recently and thought about doing a reaction to it while I was watching LOL I’ll put it on the list!
You should watch the episode “Beyond Repair” where Paul comes back and tries to apologize to Carter for the stabbing after being treated for his schizophrenia. It’s episode 11 in season 8.
Thank you! I’ll add it to the list! 😊
That one was heavy Jess. Love the emotion in it.
Thanks so much! ❤️
Omg omg so glad u react to this i grew up watching this show i my niece rewatched it with me so cried so much on this episode
Excellent breakdown, Dr. Jess!
To a layman like me, ER always had an air of authenticity...although I hadn't the first clue whether or not that impression was truly earned. It's nice to have the insights of a working medical professional to confirm that, yes, they DID do their research when they were producing this outstanding drama. I loved the show; I loved the characters and the actors portraying them.
I recently learned that the creator of ER was actually a Harvard trained medical doctor himself! 😊
@@JessTheMDMichael Crichton.
I watched both episodes to this storyline, when they first aired back in 2000. It still haunts me how fast Carter and Lucy got severely st-bbed and Dr. weaver finds them a few hours later. So scary!!!!
The episode before this one, you only need to see the final scene. The jawdropping heartbreak is unreal.
One of the most memorable episodes of a pretty great show. The actors all amped up their focus appropriate to a situation where their collogues were the trauma victims.
Noah while told in an interview he was irritated with her, because she as a newbie on set got her own 2 episode arc.
He admits he treated Kellie cold but later apologized for letting his ego get in the way.
Late to see this video but I loved your reaction and insight! Thanks for the work you do!
Thank you so much for the support!!
Great reaction! Another fantastic episode as I’m sure you know, is Love’s Labor Lost. It would be great if you did that one!
Thank you SO much!! I’ll put it on my list! 😊
@@JessTheMD thanks so much! 😊
I agree, “Loves Labor Lost” was an incredible episode.
Its funny you talk about stuffing down those feelings and dealing with them at another time, it's what you do. I remember my first arrest. A lady from another hospital suddenly decompensated. She wasnt even my patient but the crash bell went and we all ran, some of us got stuck in and others were given secondary roles to fill. Anyway, you just get on with it at the time, and it wasn't until I was testing the ABG (we have a gas analyzer in my unit so we can all run samples) that it hit me - the results come up and I knew she was gone. It was like slow-mo, as I tore the print out and ran around to the bed...I felt like the Grim Reaper. Sure enough, they called it.
I had to leave. I went off and sat somewhere quiet, cried it out, took 5 and then just pushed it down and got on, I had 12 other patients who needed me. Then I went to resign that morning and was told to go away and think about it, not make rash decisions that would have long-last consequences. But I didn't want to be the reason anyone else died, which is how I viewed it at the time - if I'd not done the analysis correctly or if I'd not delivered the results to the clinical lead, if I'd dropped the syringe...that patient may have gotten a few more rounds of CPR and still be alive (I know she wouldn't have survived, we couldn't get her back). Even though I didn't know this woman, I never met her, it crushed me.
I didn't resign, and I'm glad I didn't. Every day I get to make a difference and I don't want that to end. But I often think about that poor woman and her family and how, at least in a small way, I contributed to one of their worst days. I hope she rests in peace.
Wow, I completely understand you. It’s a LOT to carry. You know how much good you’re doing, but the heartbreaking moments still don’t hurt any less, even if you didn’t know the patients well.
I’ve had similar experiences, and I can still see the people’s faces when they realized that they are dying and how scared they were. Forever burned in my memory.
I’m sorry you’ve dealt with this, but also thank you for all you’ve done to help so many too ❤️
Just discovered your reactions today. Superb.
Thank you so much!! This is only just the beginning 😊😍🙈
@@JessTheMD Do you need any suggestions? Episodes in series etc.
@@tombo1984 I’m ALWAYS open to suggestions!! 😊
I was maybe…18, when I watched this? Had a gallbladder working at 12%, barely eating, and just counting down the days until my cholecystectomy (less than one week after my Gr 12 graduation). I mean, this didn’t help my (at the time) fear of hospitals and surgery…but this is life. I’m 42 now, with MS and more. Oh, how young and naive I was…!
First and foremost great review. I love how you broke down the medical info. And somebody who was born 6 weeks early and I had a stroke at birth resulting in cerebral palsy. I also had a lot of stomach issues growing up. I had a I don't know if my talk to text will spell this quickly so please work with me. Nissen stomach surgery for acid reflux at one point in my life I had 53 hospitals days in 2 and 1/2 years because of stomach issues.
When I was 14 I had back surgery for scoliosis. During the recovery process I got into ER and it became my favorite show. I've gravitated toward medical shows ever since. I bought the show and literally watch it when it's my go-to show when nothing else is on I watch ER. I've probably watched the entire 15 season over 300 episodes run 12 times if not more. And no matter how many times I watched this show this episode you reviewed and the episode on the beach from season 8 where Mark Green dies still get me jumped up to this day.
The fact that John Carter's survivors guilt led to a drug addiction for his character is one of the things I loved about the show they showed the consequences of what people go through. From when Mark lost the patient because of missed preeclampsia in season 1 and how he shut down from that. And Carter's addiction because of Lucy's death in the whole incident of being stabbed and this show had great writing and acting because you can really feel the emotions. Once again thank you for your review
Thank you so much for the support!
Wow you've gone through so much! ❤️
@@JessTheMD Yes but we all go through a lot during life at some point or another it's just a part of life on some level. All we can do is make the most of it and live the best life we can.
Just a quick comment to say I've seen a few reactions to ER and yours has been the best. Well done, doc. 😊
Other eps of ER I recommend you react to are "Lockdown" and "Chaos" (the season 8 finale, season 9 opener, double episode) and "Freefall" (season 9) which gets a bad rap, but from a medicine standpoint is pretty good. "Skin" from season 11 was good...heavy, but good. And then "21 Guns" and "Bloodline" (season 12 finale, season 13 opener, double 3pisode).
Thank you so so much!! Really appreciate the support! I’ll add these eps to my list! 😊
S04e15 Exodus is also pretty good! It has a toxic spillover in the ER which causes huge chaos. It really shows how much the doctors, nurses, medical staff and assistants want to take care of the patients despite having to macguff it
LOVED the reaction! I’m glad you picked a different episode other than the pilot. This one is such an iconic moment in the series.
If you do more, I suggest the finale of S11 “the show must go on” or the beginning of S13 “bloodline”
Also? 😂 “he needs serious therapy” listen: John Carter and therapy don’t mix 😂
Thank you so much!!!! I’ll add it to my list! 😊
Dr. Benton was an attending at that point. The older Doctor, Dr. Anspaugh I believe was the head of the hospital
Thank you! 😊 I definitely forgot those details from a few decades back when I watched this the first time 😊 appreciate the details!!

I didn't watch the whole run of ER but that one Dr who said "Don't worry we've put too much into your training to lose you now," that might have even been his way of showing love. I know he's a bit abrasive (possibly Aspergers?) but he's HIGHLY competent.
Kinda of like Dr. Craig was on St. Elsewhere (arguably the progenitor of ER).
I did. I personally knew two people who were later diagnosed with schizophrenia. The first guy was a typical presentation in his early 20s and I never heard of any additional complictions or any violence with him. The second man atypically presented in his late 30s and there had been a long history of some drug use and minor violence, but his crowning achievement as a paranoid schizophrenic was the murder of his mother which got him condemned to spending the rest of his life in a psychiatric prison facility. He died recently. Best rock 'n roll drummer I ever played with and people who knew him still speak in total awe of his talent which thankfully lives on in recorded music.
I first watched this series in 2016 and this episode seriously affected me. I liked Lucy's character and her death was hard for me to handle. Thanks for your insights on how real the show portrayed the medical procedures.
Benton's comment about no restraints didn't know that the Psych Consult hadn't seen David Krumholtz's character. Besides, IT'S A SHOW! lol
This is one of my favs it’s even in my Valentine’s Day episodes playlist on my personal Jellyfin server
great reaction....such a good show.
Thank you!! It really is!
yesterday at work I had to sit for a level 3.....funny how life imitates art sometimes....luckily I had no issues but not going to lie, this clip in the back of my mind!!!! I like the new 'key chain' alarms they gave me for a panic response. @@JessTheMD
ER is very good at portraying stuff.
They really are, even for a show made 30 years ago!!
Kerry saying "Your blaming Carter" always bothered me as she is trying to throw blame, then becomes upset when they are acknowledging everything was done by the book and things still led to what they led to.
Definitely agreed! It’s important to figure out what happened to potentially prevent something like that from ever happening again, but it’s absolutely NOT about assigning blame! ❤️
@@JessTheMD "...but it’s absolutely NOT about assigning blame!" And that's a major reason why I disliked Kerry's character so often. She doesn't care about that. She, many times in these situations, is doing just that.
Oh that’s not great as a chief. 😔 I need to rewatch this whole show!! I watched it way back when as a kid, and I feel like I would definitely see it differently through the eyes of a now-attending! 😊
I remember watching this episode when I was 14 and being absolutely devastated when Lucy dies. First the panic you feel when Carter and Lucy are laying on the ground bleeding out and you see people walking by the door not realizing it. Then Weaver's reaction to find them. Then all the craziness as they try and stabilize them and just being dumbstruck when Lucy actually dies. Spoiler...
The stabber shows up at the hospital and Carter runs into him two years later. He's out of the psych facility and medicated and he'd fallen and hit his head. The look on Carter's face is just devastating.
Peter trained Carter….it’s personal.
Love your videos! (Also happy Easter)
Thank you so much! Happy Easter to you too!
Gets me everytime. Time of death 2:56.......😢😢😢😭😭
They show a positive Babinski in the very first ep of E.R!
Oh cool!! I had no idea 😊 I’ll have to go look for it!
Er is such a wonderful series 😊😍🥰☺️😁
Agreed! I went down a rabbit hole of re-watching a bunch of it after I reacted to this episode and it’s still fantastic 😝
@@JessTheMD I never got to finish it because my stupid Chrome book decided to not type the number one anymore I can't sign in and I hate it
Btw.. this is actually part 2 we find out more about Paul in part 1
I would actually like to see you react to the show St, Elsewhere (80s, for me the best medical show ever). I'm curious to see how it would hold up after all this time for a medical professional.
Never seen it! Any specific episodes??
@@JessTheMD Oh gosh. It's been so long. There are some memorable ones for me but they're not about medicine, they're about relationships and culture.
Basically without St. Elsewhere ER doesn't happen. It also has one of the best musical themes ever written, by Dave Grusin. Here's the opening credit sequence. Check it out. Some of the actors might surprise you:
ruclips.net/video/_ALRQgNRQA8/видео.html
If you watch the conclusion of this episode in full, Dr. Corde’ is Home sitting in shock when her mom comes home.
Wait, I just caught, they tubed Lucy with an 8.0 ETT. That is kinda big for a small woman isn’t it?
Black or Dark humour, I think is common for people who deal with these things. I remember watching the extras on a Rizzoli & Iles box set, where the actor and one of the series writers did ride alongside with the police department. Some of this made it to one of the episodes.
Dr. Romano, the surgeon who tried to save Lucy had a history with her. He was known to be extremely abrasive to everyone and really had no friends. Earlierr in the series, Lucy came up with an idea to save a patient, and Romano was the only one who could do the procedure.
Lucy called him at home on his vacation and he refused to come in. Shw showed up at his house and continued to plead with him. She wasn't afraid of him, and he respected her for that. He let her assist with the procedure.

Me too!! 😊
Very intense two episodes. And no. Getting literally stabbed in the back and almost dying isn't the same as parenting twin girls on your own, Carol.
My ex-wife said that she couldn't watch ER because it was far too accurate and too triggering as a long-time nurse.
Yep, I feel that!
Please watch the series in its entirety... If you don't you're doing yourself a disservice.
The pilot of New Amsterdam might be an interesting episode to discuss.
I’ll put it on my list! Thank you for the rec! 💕
1:30 Oh, did you watch this without seeing the previous episode? That was where they were stabbed.
I sure did! 😅🙈 someone here recommended just this episode specifically, so I watched it! Later I did go back and watch the prior episode, when I learned that this was sort of a two-parter! 😊
Is it true once you’re in asystolee that shocking the heart does nothing? Heart compressions is all you can do and you ain’t coming back from asystolee right?
Technically yes - you can’t shock asystole. You need to have some sort of rhythm to give a shock. If asystole, needs chest compressions!
Do you think teh saddle embolism was due to teh tamponade, or since the coup de grat of Lucy was due to additional clots forming after the reversal of heparin. Should Lizzy have withdrawn the heparin and maybe Lucy would not have gone out that way?
I doubt it was caused by the tamponade. I think it had more to do with her hypercoagulable state, and when they reversed heparin, everything just started clotting off, including her lung vasculature 😕
Yes the older dr anspa was an attending
Peter Benton the young dr is the resident
There is a follow up episode about 3 years later.... that one will make you mad
I ended up going down a rabbit hole and watching the eps leading up to this and a bunch after, including that 3 years later follow up one (I think you’re talking about when that patient comes back in for another injury, and he’s “doing fine and it’s not his fault”, etc)… it was….

Whoever edited this is a spaz. They can't help but move the camera like a crazy person when you're talking.
It’s better with the newer videos… whoever edited this (me) was still learning 😝 this was one of the first videos I edited by myself and have since learned quite a bit 😉
@@JessTheMD I see. Any chance you could react to more ER stuff? You're the only one who's done a reaction for this show besides Doctor Mike, and I don't think he would even see my comment.
Happy to! Any specific episodes you’d like to see? I have a list I’m working off of 😊
@@JessTheMDI've got the perfect episode to recommend. Season 4, episode 15, Exodus. A dangerous chemical spills in the hospital, and it is just pure chaos. I'd love to see what you think about it, and how much you can tell us about what's happening, what they're doing right or wrong.
And maybe the after-effect of this video, in the season 6 finale. There might not be much educational value in it, since Carter's (the one who lived in this video) coworkers are just trying to get him into rehab, but perhaps you could salvage something because that's not the whole episode. I just watched it for the first time, and really want to see someone else's reaction of it, lol. The acting is phenomenal.
Constructive criticism on your editting, I find it really hard when your camera is zooming in and out as you're talking and the moving and lighting change between clips. But I appreciate that lighting change may be difficult for you to control. Doesn't take away from being a really interesting reaction!
Thanks so much - it’s definitely improved since that video… it was one of the first videos I edited myself. I’ve learned a lot since then 😉
@@JessTheMD oh! Sorry :) I'll have to watch some more of your videos then ;)
