    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In Where There's Hope, There's Crosby (1986), Dr. Philip Chandler (Denzel Washington) says that Dr. O'Brien, who has been cut from the residency program, has gone to a hospital in New York. Dr. Jack Morrison (David Morse) replies, "She won't last thirteen weeks in New York." Morrison's prediction that O'Brien would not last thirteen weeks proved accurate as the series was cancelled after only eight episodes.
