Nurses, Desk Clerks, Paramedics, Oh My! Quiz

Answer: Dr. Mark Greene

Chuny and Mark dated during the third season of "ER."

He commented to Abby (a fellow nurse at the time) that he was not participating in the walkout because he was an "LVN" and "they don't get no cheaper than [him]."

Deezer D began playing Nurse Malik McGrath in the very first episode of "ER." He is one of the show's longest-running characters.

Answer: She lost a large amount of weight.

Haleh (and the actress who portrays her) lost a lot of weight in 2002, in the time between "ER"'s eighth and ninth seasons. As a result, the character of Haleh did not appear in the ninth season premiere, because the episode was supposed to take place immediately following the eighth season finale, and thus, the large weight loss could not have been explained.

Yvette Freeman began portraying Nurse Haleh Adams in the very first episode of "ER." Like Deezer D, she is one of the show's longest-running characters.

Answer: Dr. Mark Greene

This was during Dr. Greene's tenure as a paramedic liaison.

Emily Wagner portrays Pickman, a paramedic who frequently brings patients to the ER. She began appearing in the first season of "ER."

Answer: The ambulance bay entrance was blown up by a patient's rocket launcher.

Though all these events took place at some point during "ER," only the explosion near the ambulance bay entrance (in the fourth season episode 'Friendly Fire') was Jerry's fault.

The chemical spill took place in the fourth season episode 'Exodus;' the smallpox outbreak was in the eighth season finale 'Lockdown;' and the helicopter crash in the ambulance bay was in the tenth season episode 'Freefall.'

Abraham Benrubi portrayed desk clerk Jerry Markovic from ER's first season through its fifth, and returned in the eighth season, only to leave again after being shot in the 12th season finale and saved in the 13th season premiere.

Answer: her grandfather

In the third season episode 'Random Acts,' paramedic Olbes brought in her grandfather after he suffered a stroke.

Lynn A. Henderson portrays paramedic Olbes. She began appearing on "ER" in its second season.

Answer: Both characters share first names with the actresses who portray them.

While both characters appeared in the first season of "ER," only Connie was present in the pilot episode. Only Lily made any appearances in the 13th season -- Connie made her final appearance in the tenth season episode 'Dear Abby.' Neither actress has been given any awards for their performances on "ER."

Nurse Lily Jarvik is portrayed by Lily Mariye, and Nurse Connie Oligario is portrayed by Conni Marie Brazelton.

Answer: police officer

Nurse Lydia married Chicago Police Officer Al Grabarsky in a ceremony (that actually took place in the ER) during the third season episode 'Union Station.'

Ellen Crawford portrayed Nurse Lydia Wright (credited sometimes, during the first season, as Lydia Woodward) from the pilot of episode of "ER" through the beginning of the tenth season, making her final appearance in the tenth season episode 'Dear Abby.'

Answer: True

Paramedic Zadro was in the ambulance bay at the time of the crash, and suffered a (minor) head injury.

Monté Russell (more recently credited as Montae Russell) portrays paramedic Zadro on "ER."

Answer: sixth

Though Troy Evans portrayed Officer Martin in the pilot episode of "ER," the character of desk clerk Frank Martin (possibly the same character, since Frank is a former Chicago police officer) did not appear until the sixth season episode 'Such Sweet Sorrow.'

Troy Evans appeared as Officer Martin in the pilot episode of "ER," and began portraying desk clerk Frank Martin in the sixth season of "ER."

Answer: False

Though he appeared in the 13th season, Paramedic Dumar did not make his first appearance on "ER" until the third season episode 'Let the Games Begin.'

Brian Lester portrays paramedic Dumar on "ER."

Answer: Nothing happened to her -- she was not in the ER at the time.

Randi was unaffected by the helicopter crash because she was not working in the ER at the time. In fact, the character of Randi last appeared in the tenth season episode 'Shifts Happen,' four episodes before 'Freefall.'

Kristin Minter made her first appearance as desk clerk Randi Fronczak in the first season of "ER," and her final appearance in the tenth season.

Answer: the OR

We see Nurse Shirley every once in a while on "ER," usually in surgery or somewhere else on the surgical floor.

Dinah Lenney began portraying Nurse Shirley during the first season of "ER."

Answer: True

Dr. Anspaugh became County General's Chief of Staff in the third season of "ER," in the episode 'Let the Games Begin.' Rumors (that eventually turn out to be true) that he is stepping down as Chief begin to spread in the sixth season premiere of "ER," 'Leave it to Weaver.' Dr. Romano takes over as Chief of Staff, and is replaced by Dr. Weaver a few years later, towards the end of season nine.

John Aylward began portraying Dr. Donald Anspaugh in the third season of "ER."
