Summary: Before blowing out of County General Memorial Hospital, a dissatisfied Dr. Ross accepts a lucrative position in private pediatric practice, and is on his way to celebrate when he discovers an injured boy trapped in a rural storm drain during a cloudburst. Stranded far from help and with the water rising, Ross soothes the frightened child as he struggles to free him. But even if Ross pulls the victim out in time, he knows he must further improvise to get him to the emergency room and keep him alive. Elsewhere, Dr. Benton, Carter and student Harper Tracy work hard to help a young girl who is a hit-and-run victim with multiple fractures and internal bleeding.
