Hawthorne

Christina Hawthorne, chief nursing officer for Richmond Trinity Hospital, races to work to try to prevent a suicide attempt by David, an end-stage cancer patient and best friend to her husband. This is the beginning of what is going to be a long day for Christina, a day that happens to be the first anniversary of her husband's death.

A patient with a potentially fatal aneurysm believes Christina is his wife and confesses to having an affair.

An overprotective young mother is suspected of poisoning her infant daughter; Christina looks to honour her promise to keep an old woman on life support long enough for her son to say his last goodbyes.

As Christina uncovers a rare disorder that could place an accident victim and her young son in grave danger, Bobbie is pressed to counsel a young woman facing the loss of an arm.

Ray is ordered to keep Amanda Hawthorne's upcoming biopsy a secret, while Christina challenges the hospital's star surgeon over a delicate brain operation for a longtime patient.

It's frenetic pandemonium at the hospital when another Richmond emergency room shuts down, forcing Christina and crew to care for an onrush of extra patients.
