Chicago Hope (1994)
S01E14 Cutting Edges
Episode Overview
Laurie tells Jeffrey that she wants a divorce so she can marry Gilbert Weeks, a lawyer who is also a patient at the Institute. In response to this news, Jeffrey proposes that Aaron undergo an experimental treatment that could potentially cure Laurie's schizophrenia. Concerned that if Laurie is cured, she may no longer love him, Gilbert seeks a court order to prevent the procedure, challenging Jeffrey’s guardianship over Laurie. Caught between her feelings for both men, Laurie ultimately chooses to be with Gilbert and opts out of the surgery. Meanwhile, Billy joins the staff and agrees to consult on Tamara, a teenage patient of his old friend, Dr. Dennis Hancock. After Tamara is diagnosed with breast cancer and refuses a mastectomy and reconstruction despite the risks, Dennis finds the right way to reassure her and help her overcome her fears.
