Notable guest appearance
In a 1983 episode, Chad Allen, then 9 years of age, "played a kid who got hurt and had to be given mouth-to-mouth and carried to the waiting chopper by Dr. Hal Wexler." Years later, Chad reminisced that "I thought it was the greatest job I had ever gotten," because Alec Baldwin was Dr. Wexler. US television ratings
