Carter's Intervention | ER

The original cast were the best.

Probably one of the first….if not the first show to tackle what was still a fairly unheard of issue that was quietly creeping up all over the country. Groundbreaking

Addiction is a creul mistress!

Is there an actual drug rehab that specializes in doctors/nurses?

Still brings tears to my eyes, how much they really love and believe in him

I remember crying watching this air that first night. The true brotherly love between Carter and Benton so subtle but real.

I'm so glad the reboot wasn't another sitcom

I am 100% here for the Carter drama, but Luka looks so damn desolate in that last shot. He could use some hugs too. :(

These are my favourite scenes in the entire series.

Benton wasn't letting Carter leave without getting into that van in one way or another.

Benton y Carter el mejor duo de la historia de las series de drama, y aunque sea increible en la vida real Benton es el creador de Chicago PD. 😂😂👏👏👏👏

i love carter so so much :((

I think the punch to the face hurt Benton more than Carter.

Me encanta esta serie no me pierdo ningún capitulo

Does anyone know the episode where Carter and Benton get into a heated argument about Carter changing his specialty from Surgery to Emergency Medicine? Benton had given Carter the cold shoulder for a good while, maybe even a few episodes, to the point where Carter confronts Benton at the EL station on the stairs. Benton opens up and says something to the affect, that Carter wasted Benton’s time… and that Benton NEVER invested that much time to help anyone, but he did for Carter. Which is why Benton was so hurt by that decision initially. I know it happened between seasons 3-4. Any help to identify this episode is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys 🙂

Benton and Carter the best bromance on ER

I've worked with countless doctors and surgeons in my career. One General Practitioner (GP) I worked with told me her job was so stressful, she smoked THC nearly every night. Many surgeons I knew either flirted with everyone outrageously, had affairs, or drank nearly every night. Pain killer addiction in the medical world is a huge problem. In my line of work, we've had top surgeons and doctors addicted - it's too easy to get narcotics and many times they can't cope without them. We see and deal with so many awful things - stuff you would never tell your family or closest friends - and we have many nightmares and sleepless nights.

I love this episode, went through a similar experience with a friend some years ago w/ addiction. Didn't take a punch, but the same emotions were there. Glad to say they've been clean/sober for over 2 decades now.

Happy birthday ming as deb jing mei chen for your 60 years and bring to an infinity to happiness and serenity from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er

Some many great characters in this ensemble. This moment of pain for Dr.Carter to admit was beautifully played.👏

Bension not saying a word he wanted ro deal with carter AND ONLY ALONE

Why how does 💚🍏 get to decide how the game plans works

She needs ro be jailed for almost killing someone as well

Well played by benton. Playing the "cousin" card at just the right moment. He knew carter would react with anger. And he also knew he'd eventually break down and finally accept his situation. Benton figured a punch to the face was a tiny price to pay to save carter.

Non vedevano l'ora di sbatterlo fuori era per il suo bene ma da colleghi

Benton was the big the big brother to john Carter loved him that was his student

Benton displays the best doctor.. every med student should watch this scene

The brothery bromance between Eriq and Noah shines in their performances.

This was Noah’s best acting scene on er in my opinion.

Wait, Fentynal? He would have died. They needed better research on that one.

The Benton character has most in number and degree of emotionally powerful scenes.

I wonder what would Susan say if she hear what Carter have been through. What would be her reaction. I bet that all that happened because she left the hospital. In my opinion, they should be together. Their characters had been written in a wrong way.

Peter Benton may have been rough on Carter at times, but he always cared about him

The costuming in this scene is very telling. Mark, Deb, Weaver, and Anspaugh are all dressed as doctors, lab-coats/equipment etc, and they all speak in terms of what he could lose in his job/career. Benton is dressed as a “civilian”, and is the one who follows him as he tries to leave, and is the one who taps into a baser level of human feeling, which is why Carter lashes out and hits him. But also why Carter accepts his help.
Just a lovely detail in a very powerful scene.

Benton was Carter's big brother. I miss this show.

I felt his pain when he cried out.

If I worked with Dr. Weaver, I would’ve wanted to resign as well

They’re friendship was everything

I have watching in Italian this wonderful episode

Today is 23 years this episode airing on nbc thursday 18th may ,2000

Wonderful scene from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er

Even though I hated Benton so much the way he treated carter Benton finally revealed he cared for carter so much that he was not gonna let him ruin his own life over drugs

I love that Benton went with him.

I think what makes the intervention itself work so well is watching Benton gradually recognize that Carter does in fact have an addiction. He refused to believe it when told but watching this agitated, defensive, aggressive Carter swat away the others made it too real to ignore.

Dr Benton (Eriq LeSalle) and Dr Carter (Noah Wiley) were really good friends during ER and to this day March 2023 still are. That is what makes this scene so good they worked so well together

I LOVE YOU CARTER

I just noticed this but the face of his watch is facing towards himself not away from him so it’s able to cover more of the wrist

it it amazing to watch it after 20 years when I actualy inderstand what they are saying because I know english now :))

Did he peck Carter on the temporal area?
