@@clydeferguson519 George Clooney didn’t want to take away from Anthony Edwards exit. He felt if he was there it would’ve taken away from what that episode was really all about.
Something else, this has reminded me of; all the nurses were so great. People like Chuny, Haleh, Lydia and Malik didn't get storylines but they were such an important part of the show.
The supporting cast was every bit as good as the main cast. The nurses like you mentioned, the desk clerks, the supporting roles from other departments, and last but certainly not least the family members of the main cast. All beautifully acted and written.
Possibly the thing I appreciated most about this storyline is that it never truly went away. In a lot of shows, characters go through physically and psychologically traumatic events all the time, and after an episode or two they act like it never happened. But that’s not how real life works. In real life, you never forget something like this. It affects you forever. And I appreciate that Mark’s attack was a major factor in his behavior for several seasons after it actually happened.
I just watched a 5th season episode where some paramedics were joking with him and tied him to their backboard and he got triggered. The paramedics realized what they did and apologized, but it was a good lesson in what PTSD can look like years after a trauma. It was just a reminder to be kind to others because you never know what they've been through.

They pulled it off once, I don't think they would have been able to do it a second time. They would have made a big deal about his return even if it was just a moment.
I really like how Chunny always showed so much love from Mark. Not necessarily marriage love, but friendship love, brother love, whatever. But she was the only nurse that was most affected when something happened with Mark, like in this episode and that one when he was having a seizure and Carter calls her help.
Even though I watched all of Grey's anatomy I am already more interested in the more realistic details on ER and the less exaggerated drama between doctors
There's more drama between the doctors in the later seasons but it is nowhere near the level Grey's is. All ER seasons are great honestly. Very rewatchable.
They eventually had to have Kerry undergo surgery so that she no longer needed the crutch, because ten years of leaning on a crutch she didn't need was actually causing Laura Innes problems in real life.

I loved the amount of detailed effort the ER writers and producers made in regards to terminology and patient presentation. Something as simple as that second "What happened?" from Mark right after it was explained to him, a giant red flag for healthcare providers in cases of head injury, in today's 'medical' shows would've been spun into some sort of high tech futuristic brain scan mumbo jumbo.
@@catrachaV4 Along with his kinda depressing life struggle later dealing with his mother's passing away and his father's conditions, makes you wonder...
When Doug is fussing over him and Carol makes him leave, you can see nurses in the background peeking in to see Mark. The whole hospital knew within minutes.
For me, he was the heart of the show. I mean, I loved almost everyone else (even grew to appreciate Benton and Romano, two of the most 'unlikable' main characters the show had at least in the beginning) but when Mark died, the show died for me, just never was the same (as in life). I stopped watching at that point but my mom watched to the end and told me about it so I still felt that those left behind and the new ones coming on board were like family.
I just watched the one where Carol got a high grade on her medical test to become a Dr. And anyways she was helping with a little boy and describing what Dr Ross was doing to him n well it ended up the little boy passed away. N Carol put the mom and little boy in a room. And Dr Weaver wanted in there and Carol stood up to Dr Weaver cause she was giving the grieving mother all the time she wanted with her little boy. Carol has got some guts I tell ya that lol .
So, having had my face broken once, I love how the makeup people detailed the bruising on his face and how the bruises grew around the relatively gentle pressure of the O2 tube instead of just pushing it up. Yeah, you can swell up just that fast, folks.
I may be a boringly straight man, but I'd give my back teeth to wake up from a beating to find George Clooney looking down at me, all beautiful and smiling.
Fun fact - George Clooney actually lived in a friend's closet while struggling as an actor before he landed this gig. And now he's one of the world's most famous bachelor, living in a castle... things sure has turned around for him.
I think he was on some other TV shows before he landed the ER gig. I remember he was on some Police Show as a featured player. He also was on "The Facts of LIfe" as one of his first jobs.
@eastbound2020- Thank You for the INfo. I do know that his father was a Well known Weather Man in the Cleveland. I heard him say that the rest of the World knows him as George Clooney- famous Actor. But in Cleveland he is known as Weatherman Clooney (I forgot his father's name) who made good. I like that he shows Love and Respect to his Father.

@@susanaaguayo9442 mmmm...not necessarily..maybe not in the short term but long term being beaten up can cause the body a huge amount of stress...some forms of cancer can be struggled by stress..I've known it to happen
Actually, any time the brain is injured in any way, your immune system is greatly compromised, and that DOES increase the ability to develop cancers. Those of us who have been in comas understand this additional downfall of dealing with brain injuries. I am a 12 year survivor of a severe brain injury and have been through hospitalization, and two levels of brain rehabilitation. It is never an easy thing to go through because you have so much to worry about.
Would be nice if the outro wasn't twice as loud as the clip. Gotta turn the volume up to hear the dialog, then at the end the outro booms through the speakers at the end.
still pissed off we never learn who did that to him. as from all points of view its heavily implied it was that one guy who was angry at mark for thinking he didn't care about his brother despite mark trying to do his best and thinking he was a racist.
Really Tired 64 That’s what’s so good about this storyline. It’s like real life - sometimes bad things happen for no reason, people randomly get beaten up by strangers just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That guy really pissed me off. He was angry because they couldn't save his brother and then because his mother got a bill from the hospital, like he should be treated for free? Not sure who he thought he was.
I of course appreciate this as a dramatic scene, but also Doug's line at the beginning - "Dr. Weaver, would you please take Dr. DelAmico back? I'm intimidated enough already" - always makes me chuckle.
Did they ever revealed who was his attacker? I remember this episode and I thought it was the girl from the cheer team that was upset about the scar on her leg.
Nope. When this aired originally, viewers assumed it was the brother of the patient who died in Episode 17, which was a controversial storyline in itself with the racial undertones. Turned out, as written, it was just some random guy after all.
I hate that this spanned multiple episodes and the best they could come up with was a crazy person who targeted doctors that was never shown.. to this day I hate that they never showed the actual person responsible.

But on a serious note doctors and nurses deserve better protection
Sadly most all hospitals need better security.

No, he probably had a mild concussion. Repeating oneself is very common with that type of injury.
@@CamilleNadia I was thinking that, but also that he may have meant who beat him up, or why they did.
Stress, pain, medications, concussion, and trauma
@@CamilleNadia can confirm. Having had a few myself.

100% agree, this bug me so much
Very frustrating, but not all crimes get solved. I think they were trying to make it realistic.
Was it that kid who had a beef with Green? Did we ever find out who did this?
Did they ever figure out who beat him up? It's been a while since I've seen the fourth season, but my recollection was that they never really did.
You are correct, sir. I never thought the story arc they started in episode 17 would have taken this turn.
I know this was early in the series, so I know they had developed the storyline yet, but in reality they would have to do a head scan on Mark because of the bruising around his face and obvious head injury right? Wouldn't they had found the abnormal cells or the beginning of the tumor at that time? I just wondering about that.
GBMs take in average a year to form, as much as 2 years. This was too early to find anything.
Tumors can form a lot faster than you think. This was years before his tumor was found, he was fine back then. Hell, sometimes a tumor can appear and kill you all within a six month period. That's how fast these things can go. You can get check ups every six months, and still find it too
late.
