Close Up - ER Season Premiere
Day For Knight
September 19, 1998
The fifth-season opener follows Lucy Knight (new series
regular Kellie Martin, pictured), a 23-year old medical student, as she endures the first day of her ER rotation.
Knight gets off to an inauspicious start as she tries to
help and elderly man who is lying on the pavement, bleeding, near the hospital. Her inept attempt to take control of the scene leaves her dejected even before she reports for work. But that's just the beginning. Before the day is over, she offends Carter, stumbles upon a private romance and is left speechless at what to say to a widow-to-be Maricela Ochoa and a pregnant woman Barbara Whinnery who may have miscarried for the third time.
