Life Support

Im Chicago Hope warten zwei Patienten auf ein neues Herz. Geiger muss dem Bruder seines Patienten erklären, dass die Auswahlkommission das Spenderherz dem anderen Anwärter zugesprochen hat. Der Bruder dreht durch. Mit Waffengewalt fordert er das Herz.

When the gun belonging to a critically wounded police officer drops out of his holster in the E.R., the distraught brother of a man waiting for a donor heart picks up the weapon and threatens the staff unless his brother receives an immediate transplant; as Aaron and Danny operate on the wounded officer, one of the exploding bullets with which he was shot goes off and severs two of Danny's fingers; Geri performs a successful reattachment, but Danny may be facing the end of his career as a surgeon.
