6. Only the Lonely

This is an episode unlike any other. In it we meet three very different patients who have something in common: loneliness. Dr. Li treats a wife and mother whose husband is off in Iraq and who hopes to surprise him with her new, improved look--but she must go through the procedure alone. Dr. Alter, whom we also get to know this episode, treats a Nigerian patient who has traveled to America alone seeking help for a complex medical situation. Dr. Diamond helps a recent divorcée get ready to look for love again. And where's Dr. Rey, you ask? You'll find that out and a whole lot more in this terrific episode.
