Ep 11. Think Warm Thoughts

A freezing January day floods the ER with patients and homeless people seeking warmth, including Carlene who challenges Dr. Del Amico's authority, and John Burak who has an embarrassing run-in with a vending machine. Dr. Weaver lobbies the other doctors to agree to allow the Synergix Corporation to take over management of the ER. Dr. Greene is surprised to see that a former co-worker, Dr. Swift, is already on board as the attending physician for Synergix. Dr. Corday provokes an angry outburst from Dr. Romano when she goes over his head and convinces another surgeon, Dr. Kotlowitz, to perform an unusual vocal cord surgery. Drs. Benton and Carter give presentations on their respective specialties to second-year med students and are both impressed with an especially bright student, Laura Brown.
