E.R. -- 9/11 First Repsonders Referenced

On Thursday night's episode of E.R. (4/12), they had a small segment about New York 9/11 First Responders.

It was a little light, but better than nothing. It's about time they got some air time.

In the episode, an EMT is coughing, and one of the doctors gives him a check up. It turns out that he is okay (or is he? will he be returning in a future episode? maybe, if we are lucky, this was just an intro, and foreshadowing of them truly covering the problem in a story arc — that would be great)

But he mentions (quickly/briefly) that he knows people (or has a friend/friends) who have died (if you know about the problems, you would pick up on that — others will miss it completely), and mentions that it is a ticking time bomb situation for others.

Of course, we KNOW that it is WAY past being a "ticking time bomb situation" at this late date.

They could have done a much better job. But, it is a start. And maybe they will do more, and do better, in the future.
