In ER season 12 episode 3, titled "Man with No Name," the staff of County General Hospital is faced with a challenging case when a man is brought in with no identification and no memory of who he is or how he got there. Dubbed "John Doe," the man is initially unresponsive and appears to be suffering from a head injury. As the medical team works to stabilize him and figure out his identity, other patients and crises arise in the bustling ER.
Dr. Kovac takes charge of John Doe's case, determined to find out who he is and what happened to him. He runs a battery of tests and consults with other doctors in the hospital, hoping to uncover any clues. Meanwhile, Dr. Pratt tends to a patient who is struggling with addiction and also confronts his own demons in the process.

Through it all, the mystery of John Doe's identity looms large, creating a sense of urgency and tension throughout the episode.
Ultimately, the staff of County General is able to piece together some information about John Doe's past and family, leading to a heart-wrenching conclusion. Along the way, the show explores themes of identity, memory, and the fragility of life, all while delivering the same high-stakes drama that made ER such a beloved and iconic series.
