Have you seen the hit TV show "ER"?
Admitting that I'm not an avid watcher of this show, however, when it was set to be cancelled the backlash that ensued was so profound -- I at least had to see what all the fuss was about. ABC acknowledged the requests of millions of Americans and brought back "ER".
Actress Angela Bassett played the role of Dr. Banfield, who lost her baby. She was bitter and at times very mean, then I understood her feelings came from the fact that she blamed herself for her son's death. The blame caused great pain within her marriage, and it changed who she was as a person while controlling her life.
In one particular scene Dr. Banfield, reflected back on her son's death while she was in the middle of saving another child's life.
Watching the death of her son play through her memory as she stood in surgery, was enough to make me burst into tears while Thanking God that she saved the little girls life. This episode allowed us to view the doctor from a warm-blooded perspective, since all she had exuded throughout the show was especially cold-blooded.

Dr. Green (who was apart of the original "ER" cast) was reintroduced as the person who attempted to save Dr. Banfields' son's life.
Green was dying of cancer when he tried saving the little boy's life, and skipped his own Chemo-therapy treatment to do it.
This episode as an emotional roller coaster ride. The last thing I watched that made me this jittery was a movie titled, 'Little Children'. I think I maybe permanently hooked on ABC's "ER".
