ER Rewritten - Two Sided Story
Dr. Greene did not die of his brain tumor. A second operation got most of it out and chemotherapy treatments finished off the tumor's remnants. Exhausted from the final treatments, Mark took his family and recovered in Hawaii before returning to work. He is currently ER Chief of Staff and is sill very happily married to Dr. Elizabeth Corday, who is currently a general surgeon at County. Their daughter, Ella, is thriving in elementary school. After receiving horrible grades and failing a year, Rachel currently lives with her family and is struggling to get through high school with decent grades.
Dr. Benton worked in Schaumberg for a couple of years before becoming homesick for Chicago and applying for a surgical attending position at County. His wife, Dr. Cleo Finch, and his son Reese supported his decision to move back to Chicago. After some initial resistance, Peter was warmly welcomed back to County and given a position as surgical attending for the Trauma department while Dr. Finch works in the ER as a Pediatric Attending part-time. Some days, Reese comes to work with his father and step-mother and, on scheduled days, attends a school for young deaf children in downtown Chicago.
Dr. Carter did live in Africa with his wife, Kem Likasu-Carter, for a short time following the stillborn birth of Joshua. However, because of homesickness and political troubles in Africa, Carter and Kem moved back to Chicago. After agreeing to attend counselling with Kem to deal with the loss of Joshua, Carter sought after Dr. Greene to ask for a position at County for both himself and Kem. He was granted an Attending position in the ER, and Kem, because of her experiences in dealing with loss and Africa, was granted the position of a patient counselor in the ER. The Carters both currently work there. Carter is also seeking to find a contractor to take on the Joshua Carter Clinic as a building project.
Dr. Romano survived the helicopter crash with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. After his recovery, he was offered the position of post-op rehabilitation worker at County by the administration. Romano took the position and, using his prosthesis as an example, currently teaches patients how to fight back and recover from surgery or serious, life-changing injuries or illnesses. He is also in training as an ER doctor and, with help, is doing a hands-on residency under Dr. Greene, whom he trusts.
Dr. Weaver lived in Florida for a while with her son, Henry, while doing news reporting for WJTV. However, homesickness grew to a point that Kerry requested and was granted a transfer to a Chicago news station. She moved back to Chicago with Henry and, since the news job was only a couple of days a week, she talked with County administrators and was given a position as a general physician in the ER that fit around her reporting schedule. Henry was subsequently enrolled in preschool in Chicago.
Dr. Kovac did marry Dr. Lockhart and they did have a son, Joe. However, not long after Joe was born, Abby began to drink again due to the stress of motherhood and work. For several months, Abby was able to drink secretly, both on the job and when she was home alone with Joe. Unfortunately, one evening, her drinking caused Abby, who had left Joe in the tub alone, to black out in the living room. When Luka got home, he found Joe unconscious in the tub and Abby passed out, totally inebriated. Luka left Abby and quickly got Joe to the ER, saving his life. While Joe was recovering, Luka finally saw that Abby had fallen off the wagon and it was out of control. While Abby recovered from it the next day, Luka took the morning off from work, took Joe and, not only filed for divorce, but also sole custody of Joe. Despite Abby's protests, the judge awarded full custody of Joe to Luka. To prevent Abby from hurting patients, Luka talked to the County administration and got Abby fired. Humiliated and alone, Abby left Chicago. Luka is currently balancing being a single father and an ER Attending.
And…..
