Dying with dignity? The poor woman hurled her guts and seized in a classroom full of undoubtably terrified kids, then became a headline joke when fumes from her dead body made someone pass out. I'd call that about as far from dignified as you can get.

[DaneOrschlovsky]

Nothing says "dying with dignity" like vomiting and seizing in front of your class, traumatizing those kids for life.

[michaelcollins]

My grandmother had breast cancer so this doctor was just deplorable in my opinion conning sick and desperate people who have a good chance of living it’s just unforgivable

[ameliarose]

Ok I find it ironic that they're talking about Anne dying with dignity and she's labeled The Fume Lady on the front page of the paper.

[TheMan]

Shame…Van Buren was afraid of getting cancer and got it later on in the series.

And this is McCoy’s first episode

[Comicsluvr]

I would rather see such a liar go to prison than the guy who committed a crime to feed his family. I don't care what her intentions were...if she was so noble, she would have given her treatments away or charged a lot less so more people could afford them!

[MarionGKeller]

"I guarantee you this: If she were my patient, she'd still be alive, " is one of the all-time great L&O lines.

[bernlin]

1:53 Very powerful moment, in light of Van Buran's cancer diagnosis much later in the show. Love this earlier character development!

[dirdib]

"She does it all." I like Claire's progression through the episode, finally reaching the point where she has nearly as much contempt for Hass as Jack.

[RhaegarTargaryenst]

Dr. Nancy Haas was one of L&O's best and most insidious villains because she hid her greed behind a smokescreen of medical feminism.
McCoy was right when he pointed out to Claire that the only reason she objected to prosecuting Haas was because she just couldn't accept that a woman could exploit women just as well as any misogynistic man.
The late Jan Maxwell was absolutely brilliant as Dr. Haas.

[Lord_KillerBee]

Jack was spot on with why Claire didn’t want to prosecute Doctor Nancy Haas since she was a woman instead of a man. Quote from Jack “You wouldn’t be having this problem if it was a Mr. Haas instead of a Ms. Haas, men are pigs who deserve to burn in hell but hell is outside my jurisdiction”. Claire would’ve had no problem if it was a manipulative male doctor who took advantage of desperate women but since the doctor was a woman, she didn’t wish to believe a woman would take advantage of other women going through cancer.

[DaneOrschlovsky]

You know what's really lethal to the dignity? Being dead.

[antmagor]

@8:58 The answer to Adam’s question is a simple one. It’s the same reason why Claire didn’t want to Believe Haas was a con artist. The husband wanted to believe that this was going to save his wife. And in reality it accelerated her death and they lost five years, not to mention she didn’t exactly die peacefully. It’s the denial Claire felt, plus Guilt for having gone along with it. And it’s easier to pretend that the so-called cure could’ve worked then have to face the guilt, and do the work of having to forgive yourself and accept that you were the victim in all of this.

[ayaretgonzalez]

Love how dramatic the actress playing the defense lawyer is I bet she a theater actress

[seanragsdale]

Jack’s first case, and the series was never the same

[bellerain]

Haas’ attitude is sickening!
She reminded me of a doctor who gave me a gyno scan and when I kept saying it hurt, she said I should be used to it…..she didn’t believe me when I said I was a virgin and she said “I know what I’m doing. Just be quiet, honey. I’ve heard and seen everything. You’re not the first ‘virgin’ that came here.”

[nicholasmaude]

I was disgusted by the victim's oncologist, she was a predatory opportunist.

[mumblesbadly]

Gotta love how the attorneys in the TV courtroom drama scenes walk right up to the witness stand when questioning witnesses. In real courtrooms in the US, that is prohibited unless an attorney gets approval from a judge to approach the witness. Otherwise, the attorney is commiting “witness intimidation”.

For anyone curious:

"Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation, and pasteurization, the last of which was named after him. His research in chemistry led to remarkable breakthroughs in the understanding of the causes and preventions of diseases, which laid down the foundations of hygiene, public health and much of modern medicine."

[MrRyukage]

The one kinda mirrored the Ramirez Incidents.
