Michael Crichton has created a medical drama that chronicles life and death in a Chicago hospital emergency room. Each episode tells the tale of another day in the ER, from the exciting to the mundane, and the joyous to the heart-rending. Frenetic pacing, interwoven plot lines, and emotional rollercoastering is used to attempt to accurately depict the stressful environment found there. This show even portrays the plight of medical students in their quest to become physicians.Written by

Todd Allen auditioned for the role of Dr. Mark Greene, but instead appeared in a different pilot that season, Frogmen (1994), which remained unaired, due to it starring O.J. Simpson, and coinciding with his murder trial. See more »

In episode 14.7, BLACKOUT, the show starts with Abbey and her son at the airport with a cut on the left side of her forehead, then the show goes back in time 15 hours. When we see how she gets the cut, she bumps her head on the door frame of the back door of a cab, but she hits it with the right side of her forehead, and when the show catches up with the beginning, the cut is back on the left side of her forehead.

Alternate Versions
All episodes before "The Visit" (airdate: 16 November 2000) were shot and broadcast in the standard television aspect ratio of 1.33:1. All subsequent episodes are done in the HDTV ratio of 1.78:1. However, the DVD collection has reformatted versions of all the early season episodes in 1.78:1. They went back to the original negatives and "matted" off the top and bottom parts of the screen, but gained visuals on the left ands right sides that were never seen before . See more »
The best medical drama ever to be aired! It's fast paced, emotional, and suspenseful. The cast is unbeatable. Composed of some of the best actors and actresses Hollywood has ever seen including George Clooney. The show is extremely realistic down to the smallest detail, yet easy enough to understand. There is a lot of drama, but also some comic relief. The characters are all unique and different, but they work well together on stage. The plots and sub-plots are very diversified, but they all tie in somehow. The writing and coordination is incredible. I would recommend this show to everyone, it sure is a change from the warm fuzzies of television!
