- Religião e espiritualidade
Why do TV hospitals (almost) never have chaplains?? We're here to help! We'll dive into each episode of "ER" and talk about how a chaplain could have helped, as well as how much things have changed in hospitals since "ER" was on the air.

Episode 11: Illusions of control
The chaplains break down episodes 1.20 and 1.21 of ER as we look at the ER as “the center of the universe,” how none of us is really in control of much of anything, the beloved friendship between Doug Ross and Mark Greene, secondary trauma, how competition can be both positive and negative, why grief applies to a lot more than just death, righteous anger, and the importance of taking a time-out. We also read a wonderful email from our listener Max. Hosted by Stacy Sergent Lawton, Sara Jane Moran, and Janie Toy Powell. See Ep 11 Show Notes for more great info and links to the episodes on Hulu.

Episode 10: Love's Labor Still Losing
Peter Benton's marathon shift leads the chaplains to talk about boundaries, the value of rest and self-care, and who can/should provide spiritual support in hospitals. And the classic episode "Love's Labor Lost" brings discussion of the alarming (and worsening) rates of maternal mortality in the U.S. We also learn what became of the actress who played Tatiana and more. Hosted by Stacy Sergent Lawton, Janie Toy Powell, Sara Jane Moran, and Carrie Walker Nettles. See Ep 10 Show Notes page for more great info and links.

Episode 9: Meet Them Where They Are
We're finally back with a new episode! We learn how George Clooney is a real-life PSA for wearing a helmet, Mark and Jennifer Greene's marriage illustrates Gottman's Four Horsemen, Doug Ross demonstrates toxic charity, and a parable of Jesus reframed for modern caregivers may have saved Stacy and Carrie from burnout. Hosted by Stacy Sergent Lawton and Carrie Walker Nettles.

Episode 8: This Is Madness
The chaplains discuss domestic abuse, gang violence, white male privilege (mostly Dr. Carter's), end of life care, the origins of Doug Ross's (and George Clooney's) love of basketball, how ER gave us an Ocean's Eleven prequel, and more as we watch "Long Day's Journey" and "Feb 5, '95." Hosted by Stacy Sergent Lawton and Sara Jane Moran.

Episode 7: Sorry About Not Being More Assertive
Dr. Susan Lewis reminds us of our own difficulties asserting authority as young women and the horrors of individual supervision in Clinical Pastoral Education, while Dr. Peter Benton's story leads us to discuss family systems theory and respite care. And as always, there will be some fangirling over 90s George Clooney. Hosted by Stacy Sergent Lawton, Sara Jane Moran, and Janie Toy Powell.

Episode 6: Christmas In May
It might be (unofficially) summer here, but on ER it's all snow days and Christmas carols! We talk about staff camaraderie, music and dance as therapy, personality types, the power of repetition and ritual, organ donation, eschatological theology, stages of faith, and more. Hosted by Stacy Sergent Lawton, Sara Jane Moran, and Carrie Walker Nettles.
