kernsfamily -> RE: ER's final season (8/5/2008 9:28:19 AM)
|
My wife, in her "previous life" (before being a full-time mom), worked in Radiology in an ER.....she's been watching the show from DAY 1. Since it started in 1994, and we got married in 1996, there are VERY VERY few episodes that we have missed. Still avid watchers. The big question: Will George Clooney return for an appearance? Doug Ross (George) and Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) "moved away" to Seattle at the end of the 2000 season. (they are talked about occasionally amongst the "old timers" on the show).... My wife "studies" the show as it is going on (she records it so she can rewind if necessary)......very often she'll see them put up an X-Ray of some guy on the "lightboard" (where they read the X-Rays).....and, then tell me that the X-ray up there is really a woman's (even though it's supposed to be for a man)......as if anyone else would notice that.... A good friend of mine from back in high school in Detroit (who I found out a few years ago, lives just 3 miles from me here in Dallas).....she's a trauma/ER surgeon.....(we've always got to remind her to NOT talk about work while we're out to dinner!)......anyway, she did her "residency" or "internship" or something like that at Cook County Hospital.....before it closed a few years ago. I am guessing that's what will happen on the TV show. The publically-funded hospital has been financially strained for years (always talking about it on the show) will simply close....
