- GoofsSince Miriam Gregg is not a registered nurse she is either a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) or a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), so she should not be filling syringes or preparing any type of medication. Only doctors, certified physician assistants (PA-C), nurse practitioners (NP), pharmacists and registered nurses can prepare medications (prepare meaning measuring dosage like when filling a syringe or an IV bag, or mixing a oral solution). A LPN can administer a intravenous medication if it has been prepared by a physician, PA-C, NP, pharmacist or a RN and can start IV's but they cannot prepare medication and can only administer it under supervision. A CNA cannot handle medications or start IV's under any circumstances.

Paul Robinette: Nobody trains you to be a victim.

Featured review
A gynecologist's jollies
One of the slimier perpetrators that Law And Order ever dealt with his Paul
Hecht playing a gynecologist who gets more than intimately acquainted with
his female patients. One of them confided to police consultant Dr. Elizabeth
Olivet who persuades her to make a report. When that doesn't get any action
Carolyn McCormick goes into Hecht's office and is given a paralytic drug and is
raped.
Still as someone who works for law enforcement she gets accused of entrapment. I kind of thought they were really being hypertechnical here. Hecht needs all the help he can get, good thing he has Danielle Melnyk working on his behalf. As Law And Order's number one feminist defense attorney her presence alone as Hecht's lawyer is a help.
Without telling the outcome you will see Michael Moriarty and Richard Brooks go an extra two miles to see justice done. And Carolyn McCormick has never been so vulnerable and so human.
