Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Quick, I forgot my ex-SiL's 50th birthday was today. She's a good person and I want to send her a greeting. Anyone know of nice free ecard places online?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because Carter was attacked too though.
I think you're under-remembering. No, it wasn't realistic, but it also wasn't thrown away. I remember Carter remembering Kellie.
And this season, they didn't throw away the death of his child -- that was palpable for episodes. Sure, some stuff is abbreviated, but they aren't as strictly episodic as a CSI or a WaT or, lord forbid, L&O.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My point was going to be that I don't want reality in my tv watching, but this make me realize why I do like the episodic better -- you can only watch things happen TO the same characters for so long before it gets annoying. I should say that I can only watch that, because obviously ER (and NYPD Blue and I don't know what else) is still on the air.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have 2 friends who are ER docs, and they are VERY attractive men.
One of them swears he's going to write a book called "Stuff I Pulled Out of People's Asses." I told him I'd edit it.

Oh yeah, and the most entertainment I've had in the real ER is running into people I know. Again, bad tv.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I would suggest that early and mid-L&O did have ongoing stuff, but it was waaay in the background most of the time, because the show was about the job rather than about the personal life. And then, every once in a while, Mike Logan would totally go bananas over a case, and we'd be reminded, Oh yes, this fellow has issues about kid victims. For example.
WAT is similarly a show about the job -- but the personal stuff is closer to the fore. Months before that Christmas episode in which Malone basically owned up to having attempted suicide when he was younger, I knew and most of the characters had vaguely guessed that he was a functioning depressive.
Now CSI, that is a show that can't make up its mind from year to year whether its characters have continuous personalities or not.

The most entertainment I've had in the ER is being on morphine and running into (well, adjacenting into) a FoaF.
