Hell And High Water

Ross takes a job in a private pediatric office. While driving home one night, he stops because of a flat tire. A panicked child runs up to Ross and leads him to where his brother (ERIK VON DETTEN) is trapped in a rural storm drain that is rapidly filling with rainwater. Ross frees the seriously injured boy, but there's no way to get him to a hospital except to ride to County General in a passing news helicopter. A reporter rides along broadcasting the incident and making Ross famous. The boy lives.

An 8-year-old girl (J. MADISON WRIGHT), a victim of a hit-and-run driver, is brought into the emergency room unconscious. Although her parents are estranged, they comfort each other when the girl dies.

An elderly patient comes in complaining that she feels light-headed. Greene discovers the cause: She's been smoking marijuana to alleviate her glaucoma.

Jeanie publicly contradicts Benton, and he retaliates by assigning a lot of paperwork to her.
