Ames v. Kovac

Luka is sued for malpractice by carpenter Curtis Ames, who had a stroke while awaiting care for pneumonia, due to County's permanent shortages of staff, room and budget. Kovac and Ames square off in court as each man's recollections of Ames' treatment are recounted via testimony and flashbacks. Meanwhile, Abby returns to work and must adjust to the dramatic changes in her life, and Pratt's early morning trip to the barbershop results in a new awareness of community need. Also, Abby and Pratt try an unconventional method for treating a heart patient and Neela tries a risky procedure which doesn't sit well with her chief.
