Dr. John Carter: Oh, great, I have to work. I`m always working when the world ends Neela Rasgotra: [giving her large family the tour] Back there is the suture room where we attend to minor skin wounds.
[a naked patient reveals himself]
Neela Rasgotra: That`s a naked patient. Let`s step this way.Trivia In the episode where Dr. Romano is showing his prosthetic arm to the staff at the desk, one of the other doctors refers to him as "Robodoc". Paul McCrane played one of the bad guys in RoboCop (1987). Producers wanted the character of Carol, played by Julianna Margulies to switch from being a nurse to a doctor and even filmed episodes of her starting medical school. Margulies objected to the idea, saying that her character would be so proud of being a nurse she would never want to change, so the idea was dropped. Years later, the character of Abby, played by Maura Tierney did go from being a nurse to a doctor. Of all the major characters, only Sherry Stringfield and Sharif Atkins have never been shown as patients in the ER.
Some of the operations in the series were dramatized versions of real-life operations. The writers scouted out hospitals around the L.A. area to get ideas for new episodes. An early episode, in which a baby gets a coat hanger stuck in it`s throat, was based off a real emergency in a Los Angeles hospital. However, the situation was dramatized by adding a scene where the baby bleeds profusely, and requires a tracheotomy (in real life, they simply reached in and pulled the hanger out). This is the most Emmy-nominated show in television history at 123 nominations. When the show debuted in 1994 it won the People`s Choice Award for `Favorite Dramatic Series` every year until 2002. It has also won the George Foster Peabody Award. Abby is the only character to have been both a nurse and a doctor. Dr. Chen is the only character to repeatedly call Carter by his first name. All original cast members who appeared in Season 15 were listed in the credits with the current stars, not as guest appearances. `Alex Kingston` and `Laura Innes` also appeared in the opening credits to the series finale due to their roles in it. In the 2009 episode guest starring George Clooney and Julianna Margulies, Noah Wyle received top billing over both of them. Anthony Edwards, Paul McCrane, Laura Innes, and Eriq La Salle are the only cast members to direct episodes throughout the shows fifteen season run. The entire main cast of the first season also appeared in the fifteenth and final season: Anthony Edwards, Noah Wyle, George Clooney, Eriq La Salle, Sherry Stringfield, and Julianna Margulies.
Seasons Seven and Fourteen are the only seasons to not have a cast change. Glenne Headly was pregnant when she signed on to do her story arc as Dr Abby Keaton in the third season. Originally the writers floated the idea of writing the pregnancy into the show but then decided that audiences would have difficulty accepting John Carter having a relationship with a heavily pregnant woman. In the later stages, Headly had to be photographed behind gurneys and in ill-fitting surgical scrubs to hide her bump. The very first person to appear on-screen in the first episode is Anthony Edwards.
The first four episodes of the show all began the same way, with one of the doctors being awakened early in the morning from "Exam 8" at the end of the hallway in this order: Greene (Pilot), Lewis (Day One), Benton (Going Home), Carter (Hit and Run). This became a recurring motif throughout the run of the series, and the 200th episode began this way as well. Of the original five doctors, Ross (George Clooney) was the only one who was never shown sleeping in Exam 8. Including Gloria Reuben and CCH Pounder (who appeared as recurring guest stars during the first season), the original cast combined for 25 nominations in the Leading and Supporting Acting categories at the Emmy Awards from 1995-2000. Julianna Margulies (Best Supporting Actress, 1995) was the only one to ever win. Noah Wyle was the last member of the original cast to leave, at the end of the 2004-2005 season. He will appear occasionally in future seasons. Sherry Stringfield is also an original cast member, but she left for 5 seasons, which made Noah Wyle the only cast member to be on the show every year for the series first eleven seasons. In one episode, Dr. Lewis admits that she`s only familiar with the Walt Whitman poem "I Sing the Body Electric" because it appeared in song form in the movie Fame (1980). That song in that film was sung by Paul McCrane (Dr. Romano). Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) was supposed to be brain-dead from a suicide attempt in the first episode, but the character was revived for the series. For the first episode, Margulies was credited as a guest star. George Clooney had his first regular TV role in a comedy ten years earlier called "E/R" (1984). | ||
