[@joankonkle6972]

"A stable" is exactly right. It took me forever when the show was still on to realize how many of the staff had been with the show forever and of those, I think just about all of them stayed to the end. I am still angry that they didn't develop the character of Bob further after revealing she had been a doctor overseas. I wanted to know more but they left me dangling! They also left the janitor at the end of the live show dangling and us too. He was going to say something great, the setup was in place and I was dying to know what he would say next but he never finished. I wonder if the writers had plans for Bob or more lines for the janitor? Where are all those actors today? 8/31/22

Got to the last episode, and could not handle it being the finale. I skipped the final episode, and started over from square one, and again, not bored. It’s amazing how many things you miss, and catch when you already kind of know what’s coming up. The writers were amazing in their storylines and there are very few continuity errors in this series. For a run this long, and so many sub plots, it took great attention to details and history to keep it running smoothly. My favorite show by far, and always will be. They don’t make TV like this anymore.

Nowadays if an intern showed up drunk to an ER (even if off shift) he'd be put on probation and probably terminated. Doesn't matter if it was on his own time or not.

[@essaboselin5252]

The creator of the show - Michael Crichton - based the pilot on his own experiences as a medical student and intern many years ago. Back then, the ER was a dumping ground for the less than stellar doctors. In the years afterwards, he didn't realize that that attitude had changed and Doug's behavior wouldn't be tolerated in a modern department. The show did make the department more professional once they realized how out-of-date the original premise was.

@@MetalMadness_00Dave Malucci was a resident not an intern and he got in trouble before on the show but his Supervisor Dr Weaver caught having sex with a paramedic and that was the last straw. Dr Weaver reprimanded Malucci in season 6 for taking equipment from an ambulance to help injured construction workers along with Dr Carter who was also reprimanded. He got a patient killed and enraged Dr Benton in season 7 when he called Dr Benton’s nephew racial gang member remarks. Malucci is brought in a later episode by Dr Carter to Pratt and Gallant stating have you guys heard of Malucci and they said No while Carter said well it’s because he was a hotshot Dr and was fired and tells Pratt and Gallant if pull another stunt like they did again they would be fired since they cracked open a chest of a patient violating protocols.

[@vallarium_]

Back when I was on night shift for my first two years at the hospital I work at, and mind you I just work in the supply chain and have for almost 8 years now, but there used to be a coworker of mine at the time who almost regularly came to work drunk and somehow got away with it for a good while. Some nights he’d come clock in absolutely hammered, sit down in an obscured corner of the storage room, promptly pass out, get wheeled up to the ER and put on a saline drip to bring him back around, and send him back on down to his shift. Sometimes when I passed by him in the hallways as I went to go stock one of my areas he’d smell like a damn distillery. Eventually of course he did get fired, though surprisingly not for the coming to work drunk.

I recently started watching all the seasons. I was a kid living in Belaris when it was on tv, so I don’t really remember the characters’ development or the story line.
