The Drama Moves
to Its Regular Time Period on Wednesday, Sept. 25
At a time when the world of medicine is becoming more impersonal, the doctors at Presidio Medical Group set bureaucracy aside and put their patients first, forming trusting, long-term relationships. They are Dr. Harriet Lanning (Danner), a veteran ob/gyn who still loves getting up in the middle of the night to deliver babies; Dr. Rae Brennan (Delany), an oncologist with a passionate, adventurous side; Dr. Letty Jordan (Smith), a headstrong, in-your-face cardiologist; Dr. Jackie Colette (Alexander), a brash young plastic surgeon; Dr. Jules Keating (Nicholson), a confident and fiercely independent pediatrician; Dr. Nicholas Kokoris (Fehr), a surgeon who has just moved to San Francisco from Greece to join Presidio Med – and to hopefully continue an affair with one of the group's married physicians; and Dr. Matt Slingerland (Blackthorne), a handsome renegade internist with a tendency to bend the rules. Although their personal beliefs, unique experiences and medical specialties are sometimes at odds, each of these professionals is committed to going beyond the examining table and connecting on a more personal level in support of their patients.
Screen Actor's Guild Life Achievement Award-winner Ossie Davis ("City of Angels," "Miss Evers' Boys") guest stars in the premiere episode as a cancer victim. Actor Gerald McRaney ("Major Dad," "Take Me Home: The John Denver Story") guest stars in the premiere episode and continues in the following episode as a football coach with a serious heart problem.
In the premiere episode,
"This Baby's Gonna Fly," Dr. Lanning and Dr. Keating team up to save
a newborn baby in distress. Meanwhile,
Dr. Keating must grapple with a medical scare that could affect her own
ability to have children. Dr.
Brennan returns from her yearly foreign medical mission, known as
"Doctors Without Borders," where she has been having an affair with
a Greek physician. Upon her
return, she must help a man deal with the impending death of his father, Otis
Clayton (Davis), who has cancer. Dr.
Slingerland enlists Dr. Jordan to help him convince a zealous high school
football coach, Jack Fontina (McRaney), of his urgent need for heart surgery. At the same time, Dr. Colette brazenly begins her new job by
bullying an HMO to approve surgery for an elderly woman.
