Excellent episode, the original fault (from the true Headline case) was the overworked residents and interns. For the show's usual social commentary it would have been so nice if they had used that material. This would have been better, if they expanded on the case's true facts. The state of New Yorks hospitals was deplorable enough to cause legislation limiting the number of hours per day and days per week that physicians in training can be expected to work. Ironically that was considered to be not believable enough to write about. Disappointingly though they took a cheap shot and blamed it on an alcoholic doctor. Guess that was more believable.
