Fans discuss whether the hospital scene in this episode deliberately parallels the similar scene from last season's finale, with consensus that it's a callback reward for longtime viewers.
One big question for anyone who knows....
Was there a deliberate point to that scene at the hospital - where Kramer, Jerry and Elaine were so nonchalant about George's misfortune - somewhat repeating how they reacted when the doctor old George that Susan had died?
What's the point in all this?

You answered your own question, Shark. It was an obvious play on the scene in "The Invitations" that you mentioned. Consider it a reward for faithful viewers who had seen the season finale from the year before.
yeah, it was the same scene, almost exactly, right down to them all going for coffee afterward
