That's where my memory was bugging me, too. I seem to remember that
when Pratt showed up at County in season 8, it was for a rotation, which
implied that he was still a student, and that later he got his letter
for his match for his intern****p at County. Then, in season 9, Pratt
got the spot at the other hospital and was thrilled about it while
Gallant had matched at County for his intern****p and was thrilled about
it. But lately, I don't trust my memory so much <g>.
It's for a roleplaying game, so it's not an urgent question. I was just
hoping to avoid having to haul out the tapes, especially since I don't
remember off-hand which episodes the two started in (I remember that
Pratt got there not all that long before Mark quit prior to dying, but I
don't remember the exact episode and the summaries that I've been
reading haven't come right out and said "new guy Pratt..." or "new guy
Gallant..." <g>

Me, either. And I would have loved to have seen what they would have
done with Morris <vbeg>.
It also doesn't surprise me any that they'd refer to Pratt as being in
one year of his residency in season 10 and then have it being a
different year of residency in another season. If TPTB ever met
continuity, they'd die of shock.
Thanks,
