Not to mention the health department and others would have a fit at a
live animal in the building.  The only animal that would get in there
was a seeing eye dog and even then there would be protests.

The last time I was in a hospital they allowed no animals.  When I was
in a rehab hospital they allowed you to bring pets in one day a week
but only as far as the front lobby.

One thing to keep in mind is the hospital has patients who have
allergies to animals and are also deathly afraid of them.

My mother in law was in a nursing home a few years back
and one of the patients used to have a relative bring in her
dog.  There were elderly patients who were scared to death of
the dog.

Also would the camel's owner allow it to go into Chicago?
Between the ambulances, speeding cars, beeping horns, 
and other city noises i'd have to think the camel
would be a basket case.

Every time Abby gets in the car I keep expecting the next scene to be
her in a crash where she killed a half dozen people.

Of course Sam could do something that has never beeen done on ER
before, be a nurse, then go back to med school and become a doctor.
