NICK REPRESENTS THE HOSPITAL LULU'S HUSBAND WORKS FOR AFTER A PATIENT DIES UNDER HIS CARE, ON A REBROADCAST OF "THE GUARDIAN," TUESDAY, JUNE 17

"Sacrifice" - Nick represents Pittsburgh County Hospital, where Lulu's husband works, after a patient dies under his care, on a rebroadcast of THE GUARDIAN, Tuesday, June 17 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Michael Watkins directed the episode written by Rick Eid. (Originally broadcast 12/10/02)

The patient dies during what is supposed to be a routine gall bladder operation and Nick soon uncovers a reason that the doctor overlooked. Now Nick is torn when Lulu pleads with Nick not to come forward with this information that could ruin her husband's career. Meanwhile, Nick represents a teenage girl whose mother was murdered by her husband because she was in the final stages of a terminal illness.
