Hey there,
I've got an episodic-related question for everyone here, I vaguely remember an episode w/ Doug and a little girl, and for the life of me cannot figure out which episode it is, and honestly, it's been bugging and bothering me for quite some time now, and I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
I vaguely recall an episode that I watched on a TNT rerun, years ago, probably 3 or 4 by now, and what I'm remembering deals with Dr. Doug Ross and this little red-headed girl with glasses that he's treating and this little girl is annoying and obnoxious and she's running all over the floor/halls of the ER just screaming and such things, and perhaps she's got a stethoscope and she's running around with that as well, and I recall a bit of Weaver/Doug interaction perhaps on this, but all I can remember is that this little red-headed (possibly curly haired as well) girl w/ glasses is just really obnoxious and runs around and gets into everything and won't stop, and Doug finally corners her down and treats her and discharges and sends her home. --- Only later, her mother rushes her into the ER and/or there's this big emergency with her, 'cause it turns out that she's sick because she's been over-dosing on her vitamins, which she's been taking out of the bottle and getting into without her mother's knowledge, information which Doug gathers from the mother that the little girl's vitamins contain iron in them, and thus, she has iron poisoning, very severe, and at the end, the little girl ends up dying from the iron/toxic vitamin overdose, and the mother's all upset, and Doug is upset too.
I only recall seeing it this one time, but I've recently bought all the available seasons of ER on dvd in the U.S., that would be Seasons 1-5, and I've watched every single episode at least once from each season, and considering Doug leaves in the 5th season, the episode that I saw has to be in the 1st-early 5th season, and I've watched every episode on that line, and nada, I haven't found this one.
And so I'm curious - am I making this up? Did I just dream it or get it confused with another show or something? I'm asking if anyone else knows what at all that I'm talking about here, or if I've just made it up some how.
It's just - I could swear that it's a Doug Ross-case, so I don't think it's in any other season past five, if it's at all on ER, but perhaps it wasn't Ross and maybe it was Luka or Greene? I just know that Ross stood out to me at that point,('cause of him being George freakin' Clooney) and this case did as well, just because of the way that it ended with the little girl dying. It was a sad thing, because earlier on in the episode she had been so obnoxious and annoying, and they were fed up with her, but than at the end, she was dead, and it was just...very sad, 'cause they would have gave anything at that point to have her be alive and running around and everything again. I don't think that I, as opposed to quiet and dead. I don't think I'm confusing facts and things, I can just remember this particular case so well, (and it was a PEDs case, so it would've been Ross' thing) but since it's been so long since I've seen it, and at the time that I saw it, I wasn't really this into the show, it's possible that I am.
Anybody else recall this? And if so - which season/episode? 'Cause it's just absolutely killing me here, so I needed to request at the behalf of others to find out whether or not I'm just making of this up and it's all in my head or maybe I'm confusing facts and things.
Thanks for any help anybody can give me on this. It's been bothering me for at least two weeks now, and since I've watched every episode, without seeing this particular case, I've succumbed to desperation and just decided to ask other fans of the show, even bigger and better fans than I am and see if someone can clear all of this up for me and point me in the right direction. lol. Thanks, guys.
