Description: An adult film star seeking to leave his trade enlists the doctors' help to evade a slovenly process server. Armstrong airs her suspicions to Craig that a senior surgeon is receiving kickbacks for unnecessarily implanting pacemakers in patients.

Trivia

The scene where Wayne and Victor argue in the E.R., triggered by Ehrlich forgetting to pass on a message to Fiscus about a lecture Wayne was supposed to deliver, is composed of one, single, continuous shot that lasts, by my count, 1 minute and 48 seconds. It was shot by Rick Gunter, who follows them through two doorways before executing a 360-degree orbit around them in the E.R. lobby. It may be the longest long-shot in the history of television.
