Victor's aunt
jarrodmcdonald-115 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of my favorite episodes. It really adheres to the main theme of the show, that St. Eligius is a teaching hospital. Residents are seen learning and increasing their knowledge on the job, as they all prepare to pass important exams.
The emphasis seems more on the younger cast members in these types of episodes. We know they all won't pass and be invited back for the next year of residency at the hospital.
Dr. Jack Morrison (David Morse) is, intellectually speaking, the weakest link on staff. A plot in season 3 will develop this strand further...he is revealed to have earned an earlier medical degree in an accelerated program at a barely accredited college in Mexico. Morrison may lack the knowledge of his colleagues, but he cares a lot about his patients and he is the only non-hispanic who speaks Spanish at St. Eligius.
We also have the subplot involving Dr. Ehrlich's wacky aunt Cherise (Louise Lasser). She appeared earlier in the season at the Craigs' home when Victor married Roberta. The writers do not feature Aunt Cherise again. Instead they play up the fact that Victor is estranged from two siblings and they have lost their parents. However, Victor's parents turn up in season 5, in the form of Steve Allen & Jayne Meadows, and they are even spacier than Aunt Cherise!
