NBC Review
PSYCHO PATIENT STEALS TANK TO WREAK HAVOC WHILE SAM IS
JEALOUS OF DR. KOVAC'S FRENCH FRIEND -- A psychotic patient (as Welling, guest
star James Leo Ryan) makes good on his promise to punish the medicos when he
steals an Army tank and grinds his way across Chicago towards the hospital while
Sam (Linda Cardellini) grows jealous of Dr. Kovac's (Goran Visnjic) visiting
French friend Gillian (guest star Simone-Elise Girard) -- and one of the E.R.
staffers suffers a heart attack. Elsewhere, Kovac is startled at the lack of
concern among some 13-year-olds who are diagnosed with chylamidia; Sam ponders
the curious relationship between a concerned teenaged girl and her sick father
who is in full cardiac arrest, and Dr. Corday (Alex Kingston) is enchanted with
a charming fellow surgeon (as Lawson, guest star Paul Blackthorne).

heart attack.
