Trivia:
There are a lot of references throughout the series to "St. Elsewhere" (1982) another popular hospital-themed drama. Kate Austin wins the "Left Anterior Descending Aorta" award for being a top notch cardiac surgeon. Stephen Furst appeared playing a vet named Elliot. On St. Elsewhere he played Elliot Axelrod whose father was a vet (he did not appear as his actual St. Elsewhere character though as Elliot Axelrod, he was killed off in St. Elsewhere). And Kate quotes her mentor to be "Dr. David Demidian." Mark Craig ('William Daniels' ) on St Elsewhere said that Demidian was his mentor as well. more
Quotes:
Dr. Billy Kronk: [there has been a shooting at a video store and Billy is about to go in to do surgery on a victim. He's putting on a flack jacket. Dr Grad does not want him to go inside] Look! It's bullet proof!
Dr. Diane Grad: Stay with me and I'll buy you one for your birthday.

One of the best television shows!, 17 October 1999
Author: Ally-32 from Wisconsin

I really enjoy watching Chicago Hope. I started watching it this summer and continued to watch as many episodes as possible. I really enjoy watching Christine Lahti(Kate Austin) because she is a very beautiful and talented actress. I like the way each character has their own life and problems along with the problems in the hospital. I just started watching the new season and even though many of the actors left, it's still pretty good. I recommend Chicago Hope to anyone!!!
