Yeah but it seemed to be a break in character to me, which is something

we simply have never seen happen on ER.  I just don't recall her ever
showing any tendency for "OMGOMGOMG!!  I'm in a total tizzy because
Alex
is out of my sight!  Stand back, I'm about to completely flip out!"

We've seen it often.  The first time Luka and Alex met she flipped out
because Luka didn't automatically know that Alex was a) her son and b)
diabetetic.  A couple of eppies later when Alex wasn't at home and Sam
got there, she flipped out and called Luka in a panic. (And was still
borderline hysterical by the time they got home.)


What really was over the top for me was the Iowa deal:

Cop: "They're faxing a photo over now..."
Sam: "ELECTRONS TRAVELING IN WIRE IS SIMPLY NOT FAST ENOUGH!  WE MUST
DRIVE TWO HUNDRED MILES INSTEAD!!!"
Luka: "I will go with you even though doing so makes absolutely no
sense
even to mothers who are completely flipping out."


IIRC, by the time Sam and Luka got to Davenport, they were still trying
to track down a digital camera to take the picture in the first place.
(Right ... we all know that Iowa is still back in the stone age and
they still use Brownie Cameras in their hospitals.)
