I went to the ER with what ended up being a contorted ovarian cyst the size of a football. The most comforting thing was when the hospital's obgyn said that she was not comfortable doing the necessary procedure and that they'd find someone who was. I ended up getting one of the most highly regarded obgyns in the area and even he said that it was the largest he had removed. Confident and capable doctors instill confidence in patients. I love the doctor I ended up with and I have so much respect for the obgyn who was not willing to go outside her comfort zone with my body. I think true humility (not to be confused with self deprication) has to be one of the most important qualities in a surgeon.

You don't have to answer if this is too personal or you are just not comfortable talking about this in any more details, I'll understand completely. Out of curiosity thought: did you think you had just gained weight or did you think you were pregnant, because a mass that's size of a bloody football has to be visible on the outside right? I don't know what size you are of course but if I would have a football size mass in my stomach I would look like I was 7-8 months pregnant.

There were other episodes where they would be talked through a procedure that they had never done before and the patient came out ok. I think part of their out was it was a teaching hospital so if you did something you had never done before you were always learning. Dr. Greene was a good doctor on the show and fans were upset when his character was killed off. I would not call him arrogant, I would say he got frustrated with the Obgyn's because he kept trying to get someone down there and they kept refusing, or the head of the dept was busy or not in. If you watch the episode you would see why he did the delivery, etc. This is just some assorted clips and does not give full context.

@@melindoranightsilver9298 I disagree. Dr Greene is competent, but you'll note the disdain he had with the attending OB when he asked about inducing labour. And she only gave permission to induce. Up until the point of delivery, he could have just stopped and asked for help. There was a point where Dr Lewis asked why he should deliver here in the ER, and his response was guided on ego, not self-awareness of his competence. If he could have taken that brazen attitude when he decided to deliver (and later cut her open) the mother, and used it to shove her on the gurney up to OB down their proverbial throats it may have had a better outcome.

I ended up with a doctor like that on my case 4 years ago when I was in admitted through the ER with a severe knee injury (and I have Hemophilia B), I tried to fire him off my case with no success because he was putting my life at risk and then luckily my mom, an OBGYN herself, showed up from a red eye flight, pointed out everything that he was doing horribly wrong (which I had already done but no one would listen to the 19 year old hemophiliac who knows more about hemophilia than just about any doctor that is not a hematologist) chewed him out, embarrassed the heck out of him in front of all of the nurses present and made it clear that he would be sued for malpractice if he didn't get the hell off my case. Doctors with god complexes are the actual worst and they exist in real life, not just on TV. Unfortunately, the damage that that doctor caused left my knee permanently disabled, I lost my career at the time and I deal with that pain every day, if that doctor had of just payed attention when I told him that he was fucking up big time, I might still be able to run, jump or ride a bike, now I will never do that again.

Curiously, this episode's writer (Lance Gentile) also served as the show's technical advisor, and had been an ER doctor for some years. He claimed he got the idea from when a colleague ended up doing an emergency C-section in the ER, although in that case there were OB/GYN nurses present who helped him through the procedure. Gentile took that and cranked it up to what he described as his ultimate nightmare as a doctor (by taking away the OB/GYN personnel and losing the patient), while admitting that this scenario was pretty unlikely ever to happen.

Thanks for the info on what inspired this episode! I was about 13 yo whenever the this show aired and was absolutely obsessed with ER. I remember it aired on Thursday prime time, back when you had to have a VCR to record it if you were busy, back when families would get all hyped to watch things together as a family, I really miss those days. ER was not perfect but pretty damn close, more realistic than any other hospital drama to date. My folks were divorced and both remarried by then, Dad is respiratory, Mom RN, Stepmom RN, and Stepdad Medic. All worked at a large metropolitan hospital, no matter which home I was at we watched it together and my folks would be screaming at the TV, and if any of us were not able to watch when aired and had to record VHS, we all better not spoil the episode for one another lol. Now I am sitting here by myself screaming at my laptop lol. I followed my family's footsteps starting as an EMT at 16, then Medic, then RN, and then worked at that same hospital in the ER gaining experience for my PHRN to become a flight nurse. Sadly due to severe health problems of my own I was never able to fly. The hospital is a great Trauma Center, but no Labor/Delivery Unit, my Dad actually flew with neonates, to the woman's hospital. Its just so funny bc while watching this I was screaming, where the hell are the labor delivery nurses!!!!! Most seasoned labor delivery nurses can be a better asset than a ER doc in a situation like this, and where is the pediatrician as well? This episode was so chaotic, like who is running the code, nobody calling clear during defib, stuff being dropped all over the place, what about proper bsi, this was before leurlock syringes it's so easy to get stuck, wow, I am seeing this show through my parent's eyes now! I think it is time to binge watch on a rainy, maybe popcorn, pizza and have a ER viewing party with all my folks, I'm blessed to have 4 parents that put me first, my dad's call my moms and I, the cackling hens or the cackling nurse ratchets some days lol.

When my second baby was being born, she had decels and they moved me and then moved my baby. That was so painful. Everyone in the room was so calm, but they brought in the head nurse to do the procedure, so I had an inkling something was serious. However, the staff acted like nothing was wrong, and they didn't scare me or my husband at all. Even when they were considering an emergency c-section, my doctor was calling out instructions like "Hold the OR for me," and "Is the gurney waiting at the door? Are we ready to go?" she sounded like she was discussing the weather. It wasn't until the next day, when my baby was safely nursing and I was off pain medication when my OB finally said, "You gave me a bit of a scare, for a while, there, baby girl" to my little newborn.

I remember when this show aired.. I had just had my daughter, first pregnancy with un-diagnosed Postural Orthostatic tachycardia and extremely low natural blood pressures so that when it became elevated it was in normal range.. My Doctor was just starting his practice and we were his 3'rd patient referred by my previous doctor because he didn't deliver babies any longer, so we met when I was 20 weeks and Bp's were within low normal. He didn't catch my pre eclampsia and let me go two weeks overdue. Come in 6 cm dialated to the hospital go through labor, push for 2 hours. Baby coming out sunny side up get's stuck with her head out, when I threw up, and she gets stuck on my pubic bone and her umbilical cord gets compressed. They had to do a zavenelli procedure, and emergency C section where they basically cut a T shaped incision to get her out she came out with a 0 apgar score (was an 8 at second reading) and then I started to bleed.. Bled around all of the sutures they put in. Turned out I had HELLP syndrome. I lost so much blood they were afraid to move me 2 floors to ICU and brought ICU staff down to L and D for me. 17 units of blood in something like 2 days. I only remember 2 things about those 2 days.. My husband making me look at the moniter which showed my heart beating 180 BPM because of the low blood volume and him looking white as a sheet. And them showing me a picture of my daughter 8 hours after she was born. ( weirdly they say I was lucid and oriented and answering questions) 2 weeks in ICU. Miraculously stopped bleeding when the doctor came in to tell me they had scheduled an OR to do a hysterectomy because they couldn't stop the bleeding. The ONLY reason why I am still here, is because my doctor had enough confidence to say I need a specialist this is over my head.. And the Specialist OBGYN was coming out of an OR right as things went south with me so was right there when I needed him to be... 29 years, and two more kids later.. and I am a grandma of 2. Because my Doctor asked for help... My husband threw up when this episode was playing and told me he couldn't watch it since he'd seen it in real life.

I didn’t make it to my hospital to deliver; so I wasn’t with my doctors’ group and they didn’t have privileges at the hospital I was at. After everything went down after the delivery the doctors I saw told me to follow up with my own doctor a week later. The doctors at the hospital all acted like everything was fine, yes emergency but well handled. I knew it wasn’t. The first thing MY doctor said when he saw me, “ you almost died, they almost killed you.“ He was so upset how things were handled but the attending at the hospital made it seem like everything was just fine and he avoided me the rest of my stay. My doctor was upset the resident was by themself for so long. When my case obviously wasn’t typical the attending should have been brought in right away instead of 2 hours later! And it was a l&d nurse that saved my life. She shouted at the resident to stop and yelled at another nurse to get the attending. It was a madhouse. My 3rd baby and the most chaotic delivery room I’d ever had. This shouldn’t happen to anyone.

Things like what happened in this episode, even though to say they all could have been avoided would be an understatement, is the exact reason I decided to quit nursing school when I wanted to be an OB nurse. The compassion was there, the interest was there, I was prepared to do the work, the dedication to the field was all there, but something (I don’t remember what it was exactly) made me have a sudden epiphany about the true limitations of my mental capacity as it regards to potential exposures to the worst case scenarios on a semi-regular basis. I had to ask myself how many of those exposures would it take before it took an extreme toll on me & admittedly & regrettably, the answer was not that many. Which I felt, at the end of the day, would affect my ability to be a good healthcare provider so I ultimately decided that it wasn’t as a good of a fit for me as I thought. I don’t know how you do it MDJ, but I admire you because even though you get to be there for the happiest moments in people’s lives, there is always the potential for it to become the absolute worst & you accept that willingly & face that head on every day that you answer the call. At the risk of sounding cliche, you are indeed a hero.

I imagine if I were pregnant that episode would horrify me and make me worry more about delivery, so I’m glad to see someone pointing out the dramatic parts and falsities of these medical shows. I loved this show as a kid and I watch the majority of the medical dramas now and I love them too, but when you review an episode of one of them and point things out and explain what’s happening or what would actually happen, it’s quite comforting. The reality you put into the fiction helps people feel faith and trust in medicine and I appreciate that so much!! ❤️👏🏼

Horror stories like this episode are partly why I'm terrified of getting pregnant. I don't have kids and don't want them because of shows depicting women in horrific pain, being violated, and DYING because of inept doctors. I've had nothing but bad experience with doctors in my life up until the most recent (and I'm never letting her go!!). I dunno. Maybe it's one of those things where you only ever hear about the bad stuff rather than the good when it comes to pregnancy, childbirth, and kids.

Shanna Wheeler I do think it’s really easy to see the field of medicine as hectic and even sometimes irrational because of how it’s depicted on TV, and not having the education to know the difference between what are probable medical situations and pure drama. I hope MDJ and other channels like hers can show you how much more success than error there is in a day of medicine. As a medical office assistant who has been the assistant of several doctors, I can tell you from a clinic (not hospital) perspective that there is much more positivity in a day than negativity, a lot more happier patients than not. I think if you asked the majority of mothers, they would say something was off with their pregnancy, whether it’s excessive nausea, increased allergies, pelvic pain, etc., but that it’s worth it for the reward. These extreme medical situations are entertaining to watch on TV but not realistic, because people don’t want to watch an hour of doctors treating broken ankles and kids with fevers and then standing in front of computers charting for 20 minutes like a real ER. There’s always pain with pregnancy at some point, but for most women it’s very manageable up until delivery, and then there’s drugs! OBGYNs are generally pretty exceptional humans, they go to school to make sure you safely deliver a healthy baby (amongst many other things!), and you can always choose your OB, find someone you vibe with. 😊

I feel really bad because this is one of my favorite episodes for ER, and yet it's so inaccurate (and I've ragged on Grey's Anatomy for being inaccurate). But I think the point of the episode is not necessarily to demonstrate a perfectly calm, reasonable occurrence...but the result of an epic tragedy and almost a bad fever dream. Dr. Mark is a great doctor who loves medicine...who goes in to do something he CANNOT do, because he loves medicine and wants to be there. He doesn't know when to step back. He became emotionally invested in these patients (mother and baby), because he himself was a father struggling with a distant daughter and a wife who didn't want him anymore. This couple was happy and in love. All during the episode they show such sweetness to each other, the father is a model husband. They are incredibly excited for their new baby. Dr. Mark sees this and he is emotionally beating himself for not being a better man and a better husband. That's why he tries to overcompensate in this episode. He is devoted to keeping this couple together, the same way he wishes he could have kept his marriage together. It really is the culmination of a long cycle of nightmares for Mark. He has lost control of his family, of his love life, and now his job. He could have been fired for what happened here. It was absolutely insane. But as a heartbreaking character arc, it's the peak tragedy for what could have happened to Mark. It takes him a long time to recover from this scene, maybe until the end. It's a terrible example for medicine, but fantastic for a story about a man who has lost control of almost everything he cares about in life. And it really pushes him to be a man when he meets Elizabeth and has Ella. That's why it won the Emmy's. Great review though! I cringed a lot myself. But I still love the show and the episode. I do get why it's really hard to watch for a lot of people. This scenario would be horrifying for basically any family.

I really appreciate you providing your professional insight into this episode. To me, a layperson, it just seems like a perfect storm of hubris, arrogance, refusal to admit you're in over your head, and slowly watching the situation slip completely out of your control. You hit the nail on the head that the communication was ridiculous. Why they didn't take her up to OB themselves early on even though the resident said to keep her down there, I'll never know. But again, the hubris, the "I've got this, I can handle anything" attitude. Dr. Green (the main doc) was never quite the same after this episode. I believe he was going through some marital difficulty during this timeframe and that may have played into the control aspect where he refused to relinquish control of the situation to more experienced docs -- the old "I don't have control of my personal life right now so I'll maintain total control of this professional situation well beyond the point I should have" situation. And you're absolutely right that when it first aired, it had a real ripple effect amongst pregnant women who reached out to their OB/Gyn's in a panic about the possibility of developing preeclampsia. On a positive note, it made people more aware of the condition in general, so anything that educates on a complex topic can't be too terrible. It's still one of the best episodes of ER I've ever seen and I've watched most of the seasons. Makes me cry every single time I see it. Literally a trainwreck plowing right down the tracks.

I don't know anything about how medical professionals are supposed to work together, so I wouldn't have realized that Dr. Green was being undeservedly proud. I'd just think this was a tragic accident. I imagine a lot of other people would have thought the same. So, this episode has great potential to create unnecessary fear in people who don't understand where the actual medical screw-up was.

So this was based on a real event in a rural hospital in which there really was no one else available, and the writers had to write their way around the fact that they were in a Chicago hospital. But in the very first episode of ER-which was like 6 episodes before this one-Greene delivers a baby. I think that, in the world of the show, it was either implied that he had prior training or that deliveries happen the ER on a somewhat regular basis. (That said, you are supposed to realize that he messed up by missing eclampsia.) Now, did it create fear in people? Sure, but what medical show doesn't? Grey's Anatomy has literally featured hospital shootings and parts of the hospital being blown up-TWICE. The Resident opened with a surgeon's mistake costing someone their life, followed by a *successful* cover up among the medical team in the OR at the time. I'm not sure it's the job of medical shows to not scare people.

It was a cluster f of me being talked down too & treated horribly for contacting my OB & his decision to admit me. We had to have my OB contacted again for him to have it out with the ER staff because he had been waiting on me. Then they transported me up to OB. They worked me up & gave me everything I needed & went home the next day. I’m telling this because all I could think about was this episode even though it wasn’t the same issues.

While I get where that doctor was coming from, she could have said it in a less rude and arrogant way. If I said I’d prefer X, Y, or Z and doctor says “not if I decided differently” I’d be irritated…but more importantly, my trust in them would drop dramatically due to the arrogance behind someone who makes a comment like that (you still had a right to your express a desire to have agency over your own body, and she was treating you as if you didn’t/she didn’t care about your wishes. (Frankly, a simple “that isn’t possible to safely do in this situation” would have been less obnoxious. I’d also feel like they saw me as “lesser” and unworthy of being spoke to respectfully . I’m glad you and your child are fine, and she did what was best, but she also sounds condescending and…again, arrogant. Something like “Ultimately, I we’ll do what keeps you and the baby healthy and safe,” would have been less obnoxious. I have a chronic health issue and deal with a lot of doctors…some of the rude things they say, and the way they treat you, can be quite frustrating. Saying that to a woman (or behaving that way in general) during the most vulnerable moments of a her life wasn’t necessary.

Ooof. 🥺 Oh man...I remember this episode - it hit my husband really hard when it aired, as we had recently suffered the stillbirth of our daughter at 38 weeks, and immediately following the delivery I almost died from a massive hemorrhage due to a partial placental previa, and also previously undiagnosed severe placental accreta. I was later told that it was VERY touch and go for a while there - I was unconscious for most of the bad parts, but he had absolutely refused to leave my side and so he saw so much that he really shouldn’t have seen. This was just a little too close to real life for both of us, and I’ll be honest...I totally understand you being stressed out watching it - even now, all these years later watching this was surprisingly triggering for me.

RabbitGirl To be fair, this was back in ‘92 and ultrasound wasn’t what it is nowadays. They knew my placenta was much closer to my cervix than was preferred, but they had no idea about the accreta. It was pretty much impossible to see on ultrasound back then, even if they suspect it’s there’s (which they didn’t). It was kind of a “perfect storm” situation that evening, as the L&D floor was insanely busy that night (31 babies delivered in 24 hours, a record number even for a teaching hospital in the city) and the resident who was handling our delivery was actually very competent. Most importantly, she knew exactly when to get help and wasn’t afraid to admit it was more than she could handle. I’m sure it would be very different now, but all things considered - back then I think they did a pretty good job. After all...I’m still here, AND they saved my uterus so we could go on to have one more beautiful child a few years later. Most doctors would’ve just said “screw this” and performed a hysterectomy under those circumstances, even today!

Yeah, Dr. Greene's lawsuit and lasting emotional issues after this episode was a major plot point in the series for a few seasons. The whole episode may have been over-dramatized for TV and riddled with medical errors, but it was a really good episode and I appreciated that this wasn't treated as just a one-off bad experience that they never talked about again. These issues have real lasting effects, not just on the family, but on the doctors as well.

The crazy part of all of this is that while yes, this would never happen today... when women first started having their labors in hospitals, I'm sure there were plenty of doctors forcing their egotistical will onto a laboring woman. This actually happens in less developed countries where they hold her down as the force their procedures on her. It's insane, but this type of attitude towards a laboring woman is still around. It's few and far between and typically much much older male doctors/surgeons who have this attitude who have long since closed their mind off to new or less traumatic labor. While yes, there is a lawsuit in the show, plenty of those old school stuck in their ways doctors get away with traumatizing women because of the "You're labor complaints are meaningless because you got your baby, didn't you?" Yes there has been a lot of progress in obstetrics, but it wasn't all that long ago we were still in the shadow of dark ages of female reproductive care. And I only hope the intent of this show airing back in the 90s was to infuriate people about this kind of attitude and maybe even helped to start a discussion that has influenced the demand for better treatment of women in labor we see today. But if you dig into PTSD associated with child birth, it's still very much an issue we need to keep talking about and addressing. So thank you Mama Doctor Jones for toughing it out through this episode, which I feel is intentionally bad to show as a reminder how awful things can go when a doctor's ego goes to their head. Best case people get hurt, worst case they die. You saw the train wreck coming a mile out and that shows how a professional should handle a situation. Not like he did here.

My contractions did go well, and my sons hart-rate dropped from 120 to 50 but my gynecologist didn’t panic at all, just telling me not to freak out for nothing. My contractions stopt but his hart rate didn’t normalize. I told the midwife I’m scared and worried about my son. She brought that doctor back , to hear her say send home and come in if contractions start up again. But his not due yet. And left us all godsmacked because even the midwife was worried. So the head nurse went after her. Came back said you’re staying, so we can monitor you both. When i asked why she was like that? She was angry at an other woman that was demanding her full attention! Told the nurse look if she can’t handle the stress of this job she should stop or at least don’t put every labor as the same. Im not a drama queen. Next morning they gave me besides the Iv a tablet it didn’t go that well and my sons hartrate did go up so they called in for epidural and made a call for C section in case. That doctor was mad at me for putting my feet down. After the birth of my son, it was hell, he didn’t want to eat, and i couldn’t give him breast feed because it didn’t work out. He cried so much. So i asked if i could get a bath with him. The doctor said no; so after her back i asked the midwife and we did it anyway i said look i write down its on my own request and my risk. He calmed down so much, he still got problems with feeding but was less stressed. Later found out that she was fired from the hospital because her lack of being involved and left a child after her ignoring complaints with a shoulder problem and one kid with a disability. My son would be her third victim if I didn’t made a fuss, and put my feet down.
