Small Sacrifices

Ein Eishockeyspieler wird mit einer Herzverletzung eingeliefert. Ein Sportkamerad, der Arzt ist, konnte ihm vorort das Leben retten. Ein Flötist sorgt für Furore. Dem Musiker wurde ein Finger abgebissen. Den suchen die Ärzte im Magen des Übeltäters.

Billy Kronk, a hotshot young surgeon and recreational hockey player, arrives in the E.R. with a critically ill teammate and immediately takes charge, steamrollering over Phillip; Alan deflects a suit by Nabbott, but not before bristling at Harold's ""toad"" routine in court and being thrown into jail for contempt; Billy convinces a psychotic mugger with a history of pica who has bitten off the finger of a concert flautist during a robbery to submit to an endoscopy to retrieve the digit; as Geri successfully completes the reattachment, Billy and Phillip discover a second finger in the thief's digestive tract, and realize that the musician has been given a digit belonging to yet another of the mugger's victims.
