12:00 P.M.

Considering an hour has passed, a lot of stuff happens, but some of the dramatic events will continue. Focusing first of all on the boy whose parents have been waiting, he is finally declared brain dead from lack of oxygen.

That abrasive young doctor continues her inappropriate behavior. She drops a scalpel on an attending's foot during a procedure, and has a fit when she is taken off the case.

The Asian lady is still waiting for her daughter to return.

The mother and aunt fight over the teenager's abortion wishes. The girl has dropped into anger and depression.

By the way. What's the deal with that obnoxious woman in the wheelchair who comes on to the male doctors and gives people the finger. Why is she able run rampant over the ER? Why is she even there?
