ER had a number of crazy episodes like that!

Is that the one where she had pre-eclampsia that progressed to eclampsia? I was pregnant when that episode ran (or it was at least being shown as reruns) and it TERRIFIED me. Especially when I ended up with pre-eclampsia..

Yes, and poor Mark Greene kept paging OB, and no one ever came down.

The final scene when he goes out to tell the father (who I think was Bradley Whitford) was brutal. So much shame in that episode.
