Law & Order - A Jim On The Rocks For The Doctor

Greevey and Logan find out that the doctor that was in charge during Ms. Susan Morton's death has a problem with alcohol.

Season 1, Episode 1. The emergency-room death of a young woman may lead to a negligence charge for the hospital's chief of medicine.

This is the official YouTube channel for Law & Order. Watch all of the official clips from the series, some of the best moments from within the criminal justice system, where the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.

As a bartender. Trust me, that guys not exaggerating we know exactly how often we serve and if you’re drinking excessively we notice. We also call you by your cocktail of choice. And or if you’re being annoying. Also it’s called functioning alcoholics for a reason. Glad cragen cleared that up on here.

There was a case similar to this in Texas. Surgeon was high on cocaine while doing surgeries and he ended up killing innocent patients or paralyzing them. He was planning to gather his papers to go to other states to do the same while there was an investigation on him. He ended up in jail.

“Does he walk on water?”

That actually made me laugh out loud lol! Such a perfect response. Who cares what he has DONE! That doesn’t erase his mistakes. That’s the same as a mother or a father coming out talking about their child saying “but he goes to school, he plays sports and has lots of friends. He couldn’t have done this.” Ok? How is that relevant?

He just disrespected that man by not speaking to him when he was clearly standing to shake his hand and say hello.

Oh wow, Leon Vance from NCIS! He's so young here! I love finding old shows that people were on before they were famous

Man, imagine if the father never spoke up and held himself strong. Everyone calling him grief stricken and blinded by sadness, and he kept pushing. Takes a strong person to keep their opinion when practically EVERYONE tells you otherwise.

Logan's analogy didn't really work. An off-duty police officer seeing a crime while going about his private life is a big difference between someone knowingly drinking whilst on duty.

[LunaGoddess]

Logan's reaction @ 5:08 when Robinette tells him that the case is "politically sensitive" lmao the best.

Doctors should never drink before going to work, they need to be 100% ready to do their job.

Paul Sparer, "Dr. Edward Auster", was married to Nancy Marchand, Tony Soprano's mom. He had one of the most golden voices in show biz

[BeautyFromHell]

It's ok leon you become director of ncis one day

[kindradewitt]

(Richard Brooks) Robinette’s voice is so soothing... I could listen to him read the dictionary and be completely enthralled ❤️

[THESILVERNARUTO]

Really okay with the old episodes and cases coming back up. It shows that we can really enjoy good writing no matter when it is

A couple things. One: Despite being the Chief of Medicine, the staff should have either kept Dr. Auster from looking at any patients or reported him to the hospital board for his drunken actions. The latter along with this episodes trial would've hurt the hospital, but it's better to handle a problem and face a little bad press at the beginning rather than run the risk of the drunk killing someone again. Two: Because of Dr. Auster's drunken negligence, the hospital and every staff member who tried to cover for him would be forever tainted by the fact that they didn't stop him this time and for every law suit to follow by people wanting to claim similar, lesser counts of negligence caused by the man. High prices for the hospital caused by one person.

It's called being a functional alcoholic.

You gotta love/hate the attorneys who come in when a high-profile man is arrested and says, "How can you charge him? Look at all the good he's done!" as though they somehow aren't human and won't ever be brought to court on legit charges/complaints. (Yeah, yeah, zealous representation, I know)
I got accused of wanting to ensure the earth's destruction because I brought up the fact that Elon Musk is getting taken to court for defamation. I look on YouTube and Twitter and there are thousands of his fans saying, "Yeah, and he's probably right" without a shred of evidence other than Almighty Elon's word.



Stone's sarcastic "What, does he walk on water, too?" is spot on.

0:34 - 3:43
George Dzunda. Dann Florek. Chris Noth. A scene that was so understatedly yet brilliantly acted, one could almost eschew the cameras; especially when arguing the real-life dilemma of medical and law-enforcement personnel being held to the same ethical standards; and also when Cragen had to admit, in an embarrassingly candid moment, that some time ago he himself had a drinking problem while partnered with Greevey…

[vlpinfinity]

Poor Robinette. That guy wouldn't even shake his hand.
