Synopsis by Hal Erickson

When a woman being treated for an ulcer by Dr. Barri Stoddard (Frances Lee McCain), a practitioner of holistic medicine, suddenly dies, an outraged Quincy (Jack Klugman) prepares to expose and denounce Stoddard as a quack. He changes his mind when he meets Barri and falls in love with her, though he is still skeptical of the woman's "all-natural" medical methods. Ultimately, Quincy ends up crusading to keep Dr. Stoddard's clinic open despite mounting public pressure to close her down--and this requires him to expose the person who was actually responsible for the ulcer patient's death. This is the final episode of Quincy, M.E.'s fourth season.
