Nothing else about *ER * is real, why should the medical cases be any different? 
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.
