Early ER’s Lewis & Hathaway

Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams revisits the hit medical drama series “ER” (1994-2009) to determine how well it’s held up after its original run. Cynthia was a big fan of the writing and all-star cast and initially had a positive impression of the representation of women in medical profession. Cynthia profiles the characters of nurse Carol Hathaway and Susan Lewis, M.D. from the series’ early years and is disappointed to find some missed opportunities for a more progressive approach to representation and storytelling.
