"In the Jan. 22 episode, Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) and nurse Perlah Alawi (Amielynn Abellera) treat a patient named Yana Kovalenko (Irina Dubova). After hearing Fourth of July firecrackers, she'd dropped a samovar (a type of metal vessel with Russian roots used to boil water) and severely burned her leg. After asking Robby if he attends a synagogue - "Not for a while," he says - Yana shares that she attended the Tree of Life, where a shooter killed 11 congregants on Oct. 27, 2018."
"Later, Yana says that she was actually on her way into the synagogue when the deadly shooting began and re-entered the tragic scene after police arrived. Since then, she's struggled with hearing fireworks on New Year's Eve and the Fourth of July. "There is no clock on how long it takes," Robby says, seemingly connecting Yana's story to his own experience with post-traumatic stress disorder."
