It feels important to post this message into here as well:
Michael Crichton 66
To see a lesser known but none the less stunning and thought provoking piece written by David Zabel and created by Michael Crichton, one only has to watch Time of Death. This story was a 2004 episode of ER where Ray Liotta plays Charlie Metcalf, an alcoholic suddenly made very aware of the journey he is on.
To really do Time of Death the justice and respect it deserves. It would be best to watch it as one full episode because it was shot in real time to encapsulate 45 minutes of a patient and crash team of a busy hospital emergency operating theatre in one roll. Some kind soul has posted it to Google videos as 7 clips. If you really want to watch Time of Death then this is ok-ish but it looks like there's a bit missing. Try and have each clip streamed so that as one ends, another starts. Here is the first link:
