The Kids Are OK

Two children are at the center of this episode. One is the little girl with the liver condition brought on by an overdose of Tylenol. She is being treated with a radical method. The second is Westphal's little autistic boy. He must face the fact that the boy can be dangerous and aggressive and normal help can't handle him. Another plot has Kathy beginning to get grounded. She diagnoses a man thought to have mental problems when it could be physiological. There's more involving a nymphomaniac, but enough...

Trivia
The title comes from the 1934 play The Children's Hour written by Lillian Hellman set in an all-girls boarding school run by two women.

Quotes
Dr. Robert Caldwell: [while looking at a X-ray] Come on, Ehrlich, your interest in Mrs. Dowd has more to do with your own testosterone than her husbands endocrines.
Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Even prisoners have conjugal rights. Why can't hospital patients, okay? This is an important ethical question!
Dr. Robert Caldwell: Look, if you were really worried about ethics, you wouldn't be hitting on the guy's wife while he was in traction.
Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Is that what you think? That I'm some sort of ulterior pig who only cares about getting his ashes Holt?
Dr. Robert Caldwell: Took the words right out of my mouth.
Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Well, you're entitled, to your opinion, but I'm not gonna lead Mrs. Dowd in the lurch!
