HANSON AND SEGER TREAT A YOUNG SOLDIER RETURNED FROM IRAQ WHO SUFFERS A STROKE FOR WHICH THEY CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE, ON "3 Lbs.," AT A SPECIAL TIME, TUESDAY, DEC. 5 AT 9:00 PM, ET/PT

Cynthia Nixon ("Sex and the City") Guest Stars  

Griffin Dunne ("Alias") Returns in a Recurring Role As Dr. Jeffrey Coles  

"Disarming" -- Hanson and Seger treat a young soldier returned from Iraq who suffers a stroke for which they can't find the cause, on "3 Lbs.," at a special time, Tuesday, Dec. 5 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Nicole Kassell directed the episode from a script by executive producer Peter Ocko. 

            Cynthia Nixon guest stars as Hanson's ex-wife, Corine Dubinski, who is also the hospital's psychiatrist.  Griffin Dunne plays Dr. Jeffrey Coles in a recurring role.

            Clay Conlin and his fiancée, Cindy Hargrove, are in New York celebrating his return from Iraq when Clay suffers a debilitating stroke.  Hanson and Seger are at odds on how to treat it:  Hanson, always the cut and dried clinician, looks for hard medical facts.   Seger thinks his recovery will also depend on the support he gets from Cindy.  Both doctors need help when a clear diagnosis eludes them and Clay's condition worsens.  They also treat Tilly Bates, an older woman whose brain tumor has made her a much nicer person.
