The episode was called "Selective Breeding." (Charming title for an episode of a medical drama, I know.)

It was the 14th episode of the show's 5th season, and aired on October 17, 2004. Jennette McCurdy was 12 years old at the time, and she could already act rings around the entire cast of "Friends."

(Sorry. I'm a little bitter ... I liked that show so much during Season 1, and I hated what they did with it during ... Well, Seasons 2 through 10, really.)

I don't know if the full episode is available anywhere on the Internet, but if you go onto YouTube and look up the keywords "Jennette McCurdy" and "Strong Medicine," you'll find a 7-minute clip of Jennette's guest appearance on that show.

In my opinion, that clip doesn't really convey the full impact of the story, but it does give you a good sense of Jennette's acting. As I keep saying, it's powerful.
