Strong Medicine (2000)

Episode Overview

Andy uncovers a diagnosis of uterine cancer in a patient who had previously seen nine other physicians, all of whom failed to perform the necessary tests, assuring her she was in good health. Frustrated, she decides to take legal action against her insurance provider. In a surprising turn of events, she takes a bold step that leaves everyone stunned. Concurrently, an adoptive mother faces the heart-wrenching possibility of having to return her five-year-old daughter to the girl's biological mother, a former drug addict who had abandoned her at Rittenhouse five years earlier.
