[QUOTE=MaxTheVool] I’m a bit puzzled by your use of the seemingly negatively judgmental adjective “shameless”. Isn’t that sort of based-on-real-life story exactly what ER _should_ use? Would you prefer that it make up wacky medical situations that had never ever really happened? [/QUOTE] Nothing else about \*ER \* is real, why should the medical cases be any different? 😃 ---

[QUOTE=BiblioCat] IIRC, she was involved in an organ transplant between two HIV-positive patients, which was against regulations, even though they had asked her to do it. [/QUOTE] Right, that was it. It was not one of their better storylines. ---

In fact the transplant Corday did was supposedly illegal in Illinois at the time she did it, though it would have been legal within a few days if the governor signed the bill. Not as bad a story as when the Leguizamo character snuck in an infant chimp for treatment, then smuggled in the chimp’s mother to be with him while he died. Abby and Neela got roped in on this deal, too. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/er-11-30/382433.md?page=1)
