[@NLaertes]

Dr. Benton running all the way upstairs from the surgical department to the catacombs of the ER still impresses me

[@lunabelletheinsane]

Benton's "Is he conscious!?" gets me every time. Peter and Carter had a true mentor/student loving relationship that developed really well. Can you imagine when he got that call, and they said it was Lucy and Carter - I wished we could see THAT. He had to have bolted to the elevator, pushed the button and then ran for the stairs when the doors didn't immediately open.

I’ll never forget seeing this episode for the first time. When Benton was running down the stairs to the ER, I was literally saying to the tv, “Go, Peter, go, Peter, go!!!” As an RN working full-time, I always felt exhausted after watching ER. Felt like I just worked a shift. My nurse brain never turned off. Excellent medical writing. (most of the time, I caught them in an error every now now and then, but it wasn’t often.)

[@lateshiachilds3640]

So true, I'm 41 going to school for medical assistant and im honestly learning so much from this show.

Peter Benton at his best. NOTHING was going to stop him from Carter. Both ER groups needing Benton to stabilize Carter and Lucy. As a kid, I remember Mom calling friends saying she won't be sane until Thursday. Awesome supporting cast.

I know what exactly whats going to happen at each episodes because I have seen it hundreds of times already but I never get tired of watching it. #ERBestShowEvery❤️

[@adelissahunsley]

I love Greys but it really is apples and oranges. Grey's anatomy is about the surgeon's lives while they are surgeons, i.e. medical soap opera but ER was at least 80% about the medicine I think. These two episodes were my favorites. Back then we didn't get to know 100% of why a person was killed off but turns out Kellie Martin had a family member die and would get panic attacks and therefore requested to be let go. I just love how Benton, who never shows emotion, finally shows how much he loves Carter. Best bromance there ever was.

[@thehistoryfreak13]

honestly i cant rewatch grey;s anatomy. After i got hulu and started watching ER grey's anatomy seems childish in comparison lol

It's ironic because in the later seasons, Kovac wanted everyone to be straight to the point and not too much medical jargon when treating patients.

[@klaudiagrob]

Considering that Lucy was stabbed multiple times she managed to last long. Really scary. She was stabbed 4 or 5 times. One in her neck, chest, and abdomen. She knew she was dying. She was a med student and she knew what her injuries would lead to.

[@amandasmith2399]

Carter's wounds weren't fatal but his surgery took longer than Lucy's did.

hers and later on in the series, Greg Pratt, they knew how horrible they were injured, you cant glide over it to help them feel better, they know

[@klaudiagrob]

@@amandasmith2399 that I know. Carter was lucky that he survived. As Carter explained to Banfield 'he lost function in his left kidney and he went to Africa few years. He had another kidney condition.

[@klaudiagrob]

@@amandasmith2399 but he could have died too.

[@lunabelletheinsane]

If you remember though, Lucy was awake longer, she and Carter passed out at the same time, meaning that Carter's injury's were more severe for blood loss, while Lucy's were slower (that being said, we dont' know how long Lucy was lying on the floor before Cater walked in). But in the end, Carter's injuries were able to be repaired whereas Lucy's were not, though her prognosis was initially better than Carter's. They both had fatal wounds - but Carter's were found and repaired in time. I always wonder if Carter had found Lucy and instead of Paul stabbing him, it was just Lucy that got stabbed (and the actress wasn't leaving) if it would have saved her or if the time between when Carter got stabbed and they found them made a difference in Lucy living or dying.

The beginning of a journey for Dr. John Carter. It would lead to a addiction to painkillers and an eventual kidney transplant courtesy of Dr. Benton.

[@buffya8012]

Irenee Shubert Benton didn’t do the transplant,just was in the OR the whole time keeping an eye on the guy who did

[@Flashygrrl]

@@buffya8012 he may as well have been the one to do it, given that the other surgeon nearly effed up.

[@buffya8012]

Flashygrrl that is true...Benton made damn sure that the reprofusion solution was in the OR and if he hadn’t the kidney would have died

[@klaudiagrob]

Kidney transplant happened because he went to Africa and caught an infection. Hathaway and Ross organized the kidney and they just knew that some doctor in Chicago received it. Of course the starting point was the stab wound.

[@lacymom1109]

@@klaudiagrob I always wished that Ross and Hathaway would have somehow found out it was for Carter.

[@slcRN1971]

When the police officer was trying to ask questions while Carter was conscious but far from stable, I can empathize with that situation. After having held pressure on a patient’s arm to stop the severe bleeding in a one small but deep cut, a police officer appeared and began to read the patient the Miranda Rights. This made the patient tense his arm and the new blood clot shot out of the arm and went up to the ceiling. While I again put pressure over the wound (which was bleeding freely again), the officer was removed from the ER! Back when this happened (over 40 years ago), night shift personnel included me and one other staff person. You can imagine how hectic things were.

[@sheilaflaumitsch5250]

slcRN1971 god bless you and all you work mates

[@red2977]

Well in fairness its not remotely the same thing. If the cop was reading the patient miranda warnings that means it was someone under arrest and that could have waited. The cop in this episode was trying to find out who stabbed him because the guy was still on the loose somewhere in the hospital and they had to know who they were looking for before he killed somebody else. Also a more grim reason is because they need his statement for evidence and if he dies they won't be able to get it and maybe not be able to prove the guy murdered him.

[@debbiem9005]

after John is stabbed and falls to the floor and then sees Lucy laying there is a scene that will stay with me

Wasn’t talking about style in terms of practicing medicine. Talking about the way he carries himself. Benton and Carter are dissimilar in terms of personality, which is why they clashed a lot early. Like I said, Benton saw that Carter truly cared for the job and the patients.

Benton and Carter had a great mentor/ student relationship and yes they clashed in the early days. However as you can see here he cared about him a lot and in the seasons that followed he helped him get help for addiction and was there when he needed a kidney due to one failing as a result of what you see in this episode many years later near the end of the series. They ended up having a kind of father/ son sort of relationship.

It is also amazing how at the end of the sixth season we found out about John's drug addiction and how Peter Beanton accompanies him to the rehab clinic in Atlanta and We can also see the impact that Dr. Mark Greene had on him since later in the remaining seasons Jhon had with the other students and residents. a very realistic character in this show and the actuation of Noah Wyle is amazing

The one vital thing about this episode that no one mentions, Benton was faced with a hard choice between saving Carter or Lucy. He kept being pulled back and forth into each room and for the last room pull, Benton paused and looked in Carter's room & then Lucy's room. He chose to fully focus on saving Carter. That was a hard decision for him.

Watched this when it originally aired. Took me days to get over this episode .... It was one of the saddest and most horrific episodes - and yet one of the best ....

[@BELINDASPIRIT]

GOD I MISS THIS SHOW!!!

[@kenhoward3512]

TV has changed. Along with many fewer viewers, we'll never see 20+ episodes of a show per year (over the course of 15 years!), enough to really get this deeply involved with such well-developed characters.

[@lindaholbrook6654]

Still watch it every day.

I've worked in many hospitals in large cities and states. You wouldn't believe how many deaths have accurred because items are not where they should be or not been around at all. ALSO, before your small child or infant NEEDS the ED make SURE they can adequately care for your little one, you'd be surprised how many are not. Very true fact!!!!

Episodes like this were being hit with a tsunami of pure adrenaline. I don't know how I ever got to sleep on Thursday nights after this show.

[@JA-SF2TX]

I miss this show and all the characters.💯

[@alexislong9793]

This is my fav episode,I wasn't going to cry till I see Benton come in the room

[@jopet216]

This show made me want to be in health care, specifically work in the ER. Didn't get to but the OR is just as good 😅

[@setzunajeansummers2322]

Wow.Just one of the best shows of all time!

You knew this episode was something special when even Anspaigh was called in to operate...everyone was in on it. It was on a level with Greene's funeral.

[@PlumbPitiful]

That's why the episode was titled All in the Family. Everyone was involved at one point or another, except oddly enough for Carol Hathaway. She was not in the episode until the very end when she was coming in for her morning shift.

He probably came without being asked if he had heard earlier.

[@kathleenmacdonald9478]

Er is the best I miss such good tv

[@raggeragnar]

ER and NYPD blue is my 2 favourite TV dramas , ever. Very hard to top in this category/genre.

[@PlumbPitiful]

I wish this clip would have continued with Greene and Cordey working on Lucy. "She needs volume now!". And the sound of that saw opening her ribcage....😥

[@sweetlife031]

*shudders*!Whew….yeah, that was rough 😥

[@fuzzo73]

I'm literally almost crying and shaking watching this and it's a 20 year old clip of a TV show....and laughing at how ridiculous I feel doing it even though I'm alone. Wow..... this show could grab you and not let go. The camera angling, the choreography to make it all so frantic....and the emotional fallout afterward. Just crushing.

You are strange

This caused Carter to develop a drug addiction which he’ll deal with forever. It also caused him to lose a kidney, and years later his remaining kidney fails requiring him to need a transplant. This caused him a lifetime worth of consequences.
