Plot Overview

As the smallpox crisis continues, the CDC evacuates the whole hospital, but Carter, Abby, Chen, Pratt and Stan are placed under quarantine in the ER: Romano's arm gets severed by a helicopter blade as he and Kovac clash over transporting their patients; meanwhile, Corday is revealed to be working at her father's hospital in England, but her new colleagues are less than thrilled about her style of practicing medicine.
