*** CREDITS ***
The popular television show ER is almost a direct replay of Crichtons days in the emergency room. The script for ER had been sitting in Crichtons trunk since 1974, when the former Harvard medical student wrote it as a movie screenplay. It sat there until the late 1980s, when Steven Spielberg read it and got interested. Most people have been in the emergency room of their local hospital and can relate to the situations that come up in the ER.It also gives people an idea of just what a doctor has to deal with when working in the emergency room.ER has changed the appeal of the doctor type of show, and a new generation of viewers is eagerly watching.ER is different from other medical shows in the fact that it focuses on the doctors and their lives instead of on the patients.Crichton is an executive producer on the show, which allows him to make sure that it stays close to its original theme and purpose.
