Background
==========

        _Chicago Hope_ is the latest from David E. Kelley, who also
helped create such shows as _Doogie Howser, M.D._, _L.A. Law_, and
_Picket Fences_.  The show revolves around the lives of the staff at
Chicago Hope, the nation's foremost teaching and research hospital.
        The show now airs Mondays at 10 PM Eastern/Pacific on CBS.  It
premiered on September 18, 1994.

is set in the same world as _Picket Fences_.  Both of which are filmed on

        Dr. Nyland pulls a switch with Dr. Kronk in order to avoid a
     charity function, but they have to face the consequences over some
     misunderstandings.  Misunderstanding fills Aaron's life when his
     father barges into the hospital with a patient who is also his
     fiancee.  Geiger finally understands that he may be causing more
     ripples than he thought.

     she is not yet pregnant.  Aaron and Camille decide that a divorce is
     in their best interest.  Dr. Nyland shies from a patient's whose best
     interests he's ignored.  Meanwhile, Dr. Austin's plans for the
     hospital are definitely not something Geiger agrees with.
