But it comes with a judgment from her and it is a lot more calculating from her. They were very moving. The only one who seemed sure he had one foot out the door was Reznick, and she has her reasons for wanting him gone. That's an open question. Yes, it certainly was on a certain level. No, for the characters, if you began to show symptoms of the illness, you were probably going to die. Increasing the emotional quotient: Shaun’s continuing struggle to prove his value to San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, and his heart-rending obsession that Glassman’s aggressive brain cancer diagnosis was incorrect.

Not all the details were set, but I sort of knew as soon as the pilot was written that the natural bookend to that beginning was this ending. Naturally, the ER went into quarantine and safety procedures were put into place, but they weren't adequate to prevent Lim from exposure, and the episode ended with her collapsing just as she was talking Morgan through a surgery.

Of course, the lead-up to his relatively rosy prognosis proved difficult for Shaun, who in addition to struggling with Glassman’s potentially grim outcome, had lost the toy scalpel given to him by his dead brother Steve. By TVLINE | And that sheriff, of course, is Andrews. When he's in the operating room, he's at peace. Networks are notorious for moving successful shows to help weak nights or time slots. How much time will have passed when the show returns? You certainly went all out with the emotion.

I didn’t spend a lot of time [thinking about it], because even if this cancer is ultimately going to kill him, I didn’t want to just go, “OK! You’re not guaranteeing that Dr. Glassman will survive, even though his cancer was found to not be as fatal as initially deemed? It was always the intention to [get] to this type of ending in Season 1.

He makes heroic moves, but is also capable of mistakes, both minor and major, as we all are.

All rights That is a really good question. From 'Grey's Anatomy' to 'ER,' we're breaking down their accuracy. There are parallels between the two. We shot them largely in order and blocked them separately for four days [before shooting] those scenes.
