1
00:00:07,119 --> 00:00:08,108
Previously on ER:
2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,845
Do you want to catch a movie
tomorrow night?
3
00:00:11,056 --> 00:00:14,048
- You applied for the space program?
- My second year.
4
00:00:14,260 --> 00:00:19,129
Tonight's dinner is semi-formal.
So any slinky black number will do.
5
00:00:19,331 --> 00:00:22,198
You want me to conduct a study
at County General.
6
00:00:22,401 --> 00:00:24,699
And the drug is for the treatment
of fracture pain?
7
00:00:24,904 --> 00:00:26,963
Comparing it against
acetaminophen with codeine.
8
00:00:27,173 --> 00:00:30,574
- What's your son's medical condition?
- ALD, Adrenoleukodystrophy.
9
00:00:30,776 --> 00:00:32,334
- How old is he?
- Eight. Why?
10
00:00:32,545 --> 00:00:34,012
They usually don't make it past 10.
11
00:00:34,246 --> 00:00:36,942
This must be Ricky. I'm Carol.
12
00:00:44,156 --> 00:00:46,590
I could have taken
Lucy out for a pizza.
13
00:00:46,792 --> 00:00:50,057
That's what my Residents did
when I finished a rotation.
14
00:00:50,262 --> 00:00:53,993
In my day, Residents always had
their students over for a meal.
15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,225
Makes for better mentoring.
16
00:00:56,936 --> 00:00:59,166
That's why I invited Peter to join us.
17
00:00:59,672 --> 00:01:00,866
Dr. Benton's coming?
18
00:01:01,073 --> 00:01:03,871
He was your Resident.
Now Lucy's working with him.
19
00:01:04,076 --> 00:01:07,807
It's much more civilized.
John, don't! No, no, no.
20
00:01:08,013 --> 00:01:10,106
I thought peppers went in the blender.
21
00:01:10,316 --> 00:01:12,750
- We run separate colors for the sauce.
- Good save.
22
00:01:12,952 --> 00:01:17,321
You cool and peel them first.
Why don't you seed the Persian cukes?
23
00:01:17,523 --> 00:01:21,050
You know, it's funny. I'm actually
gonna miss having Lucy around.
24
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:22,284
That's how it works.
25
00:01:22,494 --> 00:01:25,486
The instant students know enough
to be of use...
26
00:01:25,698 --> 00:01:28,189
...they move to another rotation.
27
00:01:29,702 --> 00:01:32,136
Lengthwise. Lengthwise.
28
00:01:33,906 --> 00:01:36,340
And then you seed them. Okay?
29
00:01:37,810 --> 00:01:41,439
Emergency medicine may not be
a bad choice for Lucy.
30
00:01:41,647 --> 00:01:46,175
Well, she might feel differently after
she has her Surgical rotation.
31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,816
You know what? Why don't you...?
Why don't you chill the Pinot Grigio?
32
00:01:55,427 --> 00:01:57,452
In the freezer?
33
00:01:58,163 --> 00:02:00,563
IKeep your day job, Carter.
34
00:02:00,766 --> 00:02:03,701
Well, let's see how you handle these.
Got it?
35
00:02:04,003 --> 00:02:05,561
All right, let's do it.
36
00:02:06,372 --> 00:02:08,704
Do you have inside information
on this drug?
37
00:02:08,908 --> 00:02:10,842
- This stuff really works?
- Amazing.
38
00:02:11,043 --> 00:02:14,035
Aaron broke his arm before,
the pain was excruciating.
39
00:02:14,246 --> 00:02:16,180
I'd like to buy stock in this.
40
00:02:16,382 --> 00:02:18,680
This may be acetaminophen
with codeine.
41
00:02:18,884 --> 00:02:22,012
I know some patients in the
study aren't getting the wonder drug.
42
00:02:22,221 --> 00:02:25,418
Aaron is, and it's remarkable stuff.
43
00:02:25,624 --> 00:02:26,989
They keep docs in the dark?
44
00:02:27,192 --> 00:02:30,593
It's a double-blind study. Get your
"insider trading" elsewhere.
45
00:02:30,796 --> 00:02:32,229
See you in three weeks.
46
00:02:32,431 --> 00:02:35,059
- Jeanie's gonna be late.
- Probably stuck in the snow.
47
00:02:35,267 --> 00:02:37,167
She overslept. Had a late night.
48
00:02:37,369 --> 00:02:38,301
I wish we did.
49
00:02:38,504 --> 00:02:43,032
We are going to kick-start the a.m.
With a wake-up call from my main men:
50
00:02:43,242 --> 00:02:45,767
- Hetfield and Hammett.
- It's coming down.
51
00:02:45,978 --> 00:02:48,640
I didn't expect to see you today.
The clinic's closed.
52
00:02:48,847 --> 00:02:51,941
I organized a seminar on STDs
and cervical cancer.
53
00:02:52,151 --> 00:02:54,346
A gab session
for women in the community.
54
00:02:54,553 --> 00:02:55,747
That's a great idea.
55
00:02:55,955 --> 00:02:57,388
Is that Metallica?
56
00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:59,614
You're a metalhead?
You know this tune?
57
00:02:59,825 --> 00:03:02,453
Yeah. Because it's banned
in my house.
58
00:03:02,661 --> 00:03:06,153
I thought women should know more
about screening and prevention.
59
00:03:06,365 --> 00:03:08,697
Absolutely.
I wish I could pay you overtime.
60
00:03:08,901 --> 00:03:12,029
Don't worry. I scored
some grant money to pay for it.
61
00:03:12,237 --> 00:03:13,261
Really?
62
00:03:13,572 --> 00:03:14,971
That'll run through the clinic?
63
00:03:15,174 --> 00:03:19,133
Yeah. I got lucky. I caught some
dribbles off the gravy train.
64
00:03:24,116 --> 00:03:25,947
I thought that was you.
65
00:03:26,151 --> 00:03:29,120
Listen, I got your memo
about the NASA offer.
66
00:03:29,321 --> 00:03:31,380
The opportunity came out of the blue.
67
00:03:31,590 --> 00:03:33,285
A year of training in Houston?
68
00:03:33,492 --> 00:03:35,892
It could be 18 months if they
delay the launch.
69
00:03:36,095 --> 00:03:37,790
- Don't do it.
- What?
70
00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:40,624
Obviously do what you must.
I wish you wouldn't.
71
00:03:40,833 --> 00:03:44,325
- You kept me awake last night.
- I kept you awake?
72
00:03:44,536 --> 00:03:47,903
I do not want to run the Emergency
Department without you.
73
00:03:48,374 --> 00:03:50,433
What'll it take to get you to stay?
74
00:03:50,642 --> 00:03:53,270
Full tenure, effective today.
75
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:57,472
Well, I probably can't swing that.
But I could push up your eligibility.
76
00:03:57,683 --> 00:03:59,207
Considering you in '02.
77
00:03:59,418 --> 00:04:01,886
- Two thousand two?
- Aught two.
78
00:04:02,087 --> 00:04:04,681
Will somebody tell us
what to call the future?
79
00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:07,791
You'd consider me for tenure
in three years?
80
00:04:07,993 --> 00:04:10,587
We need you. Think about it.
81
00:05:03,415 --> 00:05:06,384
- I think you have a flair for this.
- I found my niche:
82
00:05:06,585 --> 00:05:07,609
Pulling drains.
83
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:10,084
Get the Penrose and not the T-tube.
84
00:05:10,289 --> 00:05:12,416
Pull that, it's not a pretty sight.
85
00:05:12,624 --> 00:05:14,683
Miss IKnight, you found your
way to Dr. Corday.
86
00:05:14,893 --> 00:05:18,488
All the preop labs were
in the charts. I nearly kissed her.
87
00:05:18,697 --> 00:05:21,996
Oh, none of that.
Not unless I get to watch.
88
00:05:22,367 --> 00:05:24,426
I insisted you get a decent student.
89
00:05:24,636 --> 00:05:27,867
- You could use backup with the scut.
- I live for scut.
90
00:05:28,774 --> 00:05:33,507
I'd like you to assist this afternoon
on a choledochojejunostomy.
91
00:05:33,712 --> 00:05:36,647
- Choledochojejunostomy?
- Oh, you can say it.
92
00:05:36,849 --> 00:05:38,180
Would you like to do it?
93
00:05:38,717 --> 00:05:40,275
I'm waiting for the other shoe
to drop.
94
00:05:40,486 --> 00:05:42,044
No catch. You've suffered enough.
95
00:05:42,688 --> 00:05:47,421
I started the groundwork today
to get your fellowship reinstated.
96
00:05:47,693 --> 00:05:49,183
I'll be damned.
97
00:05:50,596 --> 00:05:54,032
Should I feel special, or does he
stare at everyone's breasts?
98
00:05:54,233 --> 00:05:56,201
No. Only the females...
99
00:05:56,401 --> 00:05:58,096
...as far as I know.
100
00:05:58,437 --> 00:06:00,064
It's good for the clinic.
101
00:06:00,272 --> 00:06:02,866
You should know what grants
are applied for.
102
00:06:03,075 --> 00:06:06,374
- Lynette does have some good ideas.
- And you are the boss.
103
00:06:06,578 --> 00:06:07,806
What the hell is that?
104
00:06:08,013 --> 00:06:10,982
- That is our new music program.
- You call that music?
105
00:06:11,183 --> 00:06:14,846
- I told you to start with Erykah Badu.
- It's for patients in Chairs.
106
00:06:15,053 --> 00:06:17,021
Music helps people handle stress.
107
00:06:17,222 --> 00:06:18,917
You're getting ready to DJ a party.
108
00:06:19,124 --> 00:06:22,116
That's just a coincidence.
Somebody signed off on this.
109
00:06:22,327 --> 00:06:23,988
- Who signed off on it?
- Dr. Lee.
110
00:06:24,196 --> 00:06:27,893
Jerry, there is no Dr. Lee.
There never was a Dr. Lee.
111
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:31,160
- Is that siren in the music?
- It's in the music.
112
00:06:31,370 --> 00:06:33,702
Hey, we could use some extra muscle
out here!
113
00:06:33,906 --> 00:06:37,535
Jerry, turn the music down
and give Conni and me a hand.
114
00:06:38,544 --> 00:06:40,512
Oh, boy! Gird your loins.
115
00:06:40,712 --> 00:06:43,306
36-year-old woman found
at the scene of a fire.
116
00:06:43,982 --> 00:06:46,746
- This is one big woman.
- Probable anaphylaxis.
117
00:06:46,952 --> 00:06:49,921
Her med alert bracelet
said peanut allergy.
118
00:06:50,122 --> 00:06:52,682
- Don't pull until we get a grip.
- Another gurney?
119
00:06:52,891 --> 00:06:55,325
Yeah. A double-wide and a winch.
120
00:06:55,527 --> 00:06:58,052
I hope the wheels don't snap.
121
00:06:59,965 --> 00:07:02,195
Trauma 1, I'll be right there.
122
00:07:02,501 --> 00:07:03,559
Talk to me, Doris.
123
00:07:03,769 --> 00:07:05,737
Second victim is Fred Danziger.
124
00:07:05,938 --> 00:07:08,099
He singed his mustache
putting out the flame.
125
00:07:08,307 --> 00:07:11,743
It's the first call this week
where something was on fire.
126
00:07:11,944 --> 00:07:13,502
She drags me away for nothing.
127
00:07:13,712 --> 00:07:17,239
She could be right. Singed facial
hair could mean a burned airway.
128
00:07:17,449 --> 00:07:21,579
Chuny, let's put Fred on a pulse ox
and get a chest x-ray.
129
00:07:21,787 --> 00:07:24,347
I had to force him.
This new policy sucks.
130
00:07:24,556 --> 00:07:27,150
- Adding paramedics to fire trucks?
- Yeah. And the guys resent it.
131
00:07:27,359 --> 00:07:30,260
They blame me for having to answer
so many medical calls.
132
00:07:30,462 --> 00:07:32,953
Nobody likes change.
You did the right thing.
133
00:07:33,165 --> 00:07:36,157
So you passed out and took a fall?
134
00:07:36,368 --> 00:07:38,393
Angie found me.
135
00:07:38,604 --> 00:07:41,698
- Is Angie your home-health aide?
- She was.
136
00:07:42,708 --> 00:07:44,767
They burn out fast with me.
137
00:07:45,177 --> 00:07:46,769
You see my chart?
138
00:07:46,979 --> 00:07:50,540
Yes, sir. Pancreatic cancer
and mets to the liver.
139
00:07:51,049 --> 00:07:55,782
I keep hoping that "end-stage" means
it can't get any worse.
140
00:07:55,988 --> 00:07:57,785
Nausea pretty bad?
141
00:08:00,592 --> 00:08:02,890
We're gonna hydrate you,
see if that helps.
142
00:08:03,095 --> 00:08:06,428
Would you like me to put your own
robe back on? It can get chilly.
143
00:08:06,632 --> 00:08:10,090
- Did Angie call my son?
- I can find out.
144
00:08:14,539 --> 00:08:15,938
Is that yours?
145
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:19,399
Ten years ago...
146
00:08:19,611 --> 00:08:22,444
...I kicked my son out of the house
over this stuff.
147
00:08:23,282 --> 00:08:25,113
Now he gets it for me.
148
00:08:25,317 --> 00:08:26,978
Helps with the nausea?
149
00:08:29,221 --> 00:08:30,381
Do you have to take it?
150
00:08:30,922 --> 00:08:32,253
Take what?
151
00:08:35,794 --> 00:08:38,820
- Can you open your eyes?
- Unresponsive since the Valium.
152
00:08:39,031 --> 00:08:43,229
Pulse ox is 99o/o. Can you imagine
lugging around all this fat?
153
00:08:43,435 --> 00:08:45,995
It didn't stop her from
eating noodles at 9 a.m.
154
00:08:46,204 --> 00:08:49,833
Does Radiology stock
extra-extra large?
155
00:08:50,042 --> 00:08:51,339
Better call the vet school.
156
00:08:51,543 --> 00:08:53,704
Okay, everybody, settle down.
157
00:08:53,912 --> 00:08:56,904
Miss Meredith, you've had a bad
allergic reaction.
158
00:08:57,115 --> 00:09:00,551
- The tube is to help you breathe.
- BP's 90/60.
159
00:09:00,752 --> 00:09:03,220
Let's start dopamine
at five mics per kilo.
160
00:09:03,422 --> 00:09:06,016
- How many kilos?
- You want a calculator?
161
00:09:06,224 --> 00:09:09,853
- What do you think, 275 pounds?
- Oh, I'll take the over.
162
00:09:10,062 --> 00:09:12,121
- Hey, were you looking for me?
- Yeah.
163
00:09:12,331 --> 00:09:15,926
Conni, start her at 750 mics.
Let me know how she does.
164
00:09:16,134 --> 00:09:18,762
You're gonna be fine.
We got it under control.
165
00:09:19,171 --> 00:09:21,366
As part of your workload...
166
00:09:21,573 --> 00:09:24,371
...you'll teach patient/doctor
class to second-years.
167
00:09:24,576 --> 00:09:25,736
Patient/doctor class?
168
00:09:25,944 --> 00:09:28,742
Students practice H & Ps
on simulated patients.
169
00:09:28,947 --> 00:09:32,940
I remember. Bad actors pretended
like they were sick. I hated it.
170
00:09:33,151 --> 00:09:34,277
Yeah? Why is that?
171
00:09:34,486 --> 00:09:37,011
Because it's fake.
Everybody knows it's fake.
172
00:09:37,222 --> 00:09:39,156
It's a waste of time.
173
00:09:39,358 --> 00:09:43,590
Yeah. Well, starting tomorrow, you're
gonna learn to hate it all over again.
174
00:09:43,795 --> 00:09:46,025
It'll sharpen your teaching skills.
175
00:09:46,231 --> 00:09:48,131
Did Lucy give me a bad evaluation?
176
00:09:48,333 --> 00:09:50,392
Lucy gave you a fair evaluation.
177
00:09:50,602 --> 00:09:53,036
I'll put the teaching guide
in your box.
178
00:09:53,739 --> 00:09:55,707
The patient collapsed
push-starting a car.
179
00:09:55,907 --> 00:09:58,705
Slurred speech and right-side weakness.
Resolved in 30 minutes.
180
00:09:58,910 --> 00:10:00,571
- Suggesting...?
- A T.I.A.
181
00:10:00,779 --> 00:10:03,748
Dr. Corday ordered doppler
ultrasound in his carotid arteries.
182
00:10:03,949 --> 00:10:07,214
- Which demonstrates what?
- A 50o/o lesion on the left side.
183
00:10:07,419 --> 00:10:09,011
This is a surgical candidate?
184
00:10:09,221 --> 00:10:11,553
- He's pretty old.
- How old?
185
00:10:11,757 --> 00:10:15,056
- He was push-starting a car.
- He claims not to know his age.
186
00:10:15,260 --> 00:10:18,093
Well, wasn't your Civil War
in the 1860s?
187
00:10:18,296 --> 00:10:21,026
According to Mr. Barnes,
he's roughly 140.
188
00:10:21,233 --> 00:10:24,634
- Elizabeth, is now a good time?
- I'm not sure.
189
00:10:24,836 --> 00:10:26,303
Ms. IKnight and I can handle this.
190
00:10:26,505 --> 00:10:28,837
- Peter, 8:00.
- I don't know if I can make it.
191
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,067
We need to compile
our sternal saw data by tomorrow.
192
00:10:33,278 --> 00:10:35,803
Mr. Barnes,
what are you doing out of bed?
193
00:10:36,548 --> 00:10:38,311
I asked you to call me Charley.
194
00:10:38,517 --> 00:10:42,283
You have to stay in your gown
so Dr. Benton can examine you.
195
00:10:42,487 --> 00:10:43,818
Is that you?
196
00:10:47,959 --> 00:10:50,223
I don't mean no disrespect.
197
00:10:50,562 --> 00:10:53,463
But when you get to be my age
and you loll around in bed...
198
00:10:53,665 --> 00:10:56,031
...them rheumatoids kick in.
Pretty soon...
199
00:10:56,234 --> 00:10:57,724
...you can't move at all.
200
00:10:57,936 --> 00:11:00,996
Unfortunately, you have blockage
in your neck artery.
201
00:11:01,473 --> 00:11:03,464
It puts you at risk for a stroke.
202
00:11:03,975 --> 00:11:06,443
I can't have that.
Too many people counting on me.
203
00:11:06,645 --> 00:11:09,773
Charley helps the older people
in his neighborhood.
204
00:11:09,981 --> 00:11:13,382
And the children. They need sitters,
those people working all day.
205
00:11:14,019 --> 00:11:15,247
Are you...
206
00:11:16,121 --> 00:11:17,110
...her teacher?
207
00:11:17,689 --> 00:11:18,656
At the moment.
208
00:11:18,857 --> 00:11:22,258
Then you know, you and I,
we have the responsibility...
209
00:11:22,461 --> 00:11:25,862
...to pass on what life has taught us.
210
00:11:27,132 --> 00:11:29,123
Can you fix me up?
211
00:11:29,601 --> 00:11:32,001
Well, there is a surgical option.
212
00:11:32,204 --> 00:11:34,900
But I hesitate to use it on someone...
213
00:11:35,874 --> 00:11:36,863
...your age.
214
00:11:37,075 --> 00:11:39,669
You ain't ever seen a patient my age.
215
00:11:39,878 --> 00:11:41,277
You don't have to worry.
216
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,381
I can't be killed because I got
a conjure on me.
217
00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:47,115
I don't know what that means.
218
00:11:47,319 --> 00:11:49,412
Of course you don't.
219
00:11:49,621 --> 00:11:52,351
Because you are a man of science.
220
00:11:52,557 --> 00:11:55,890
How else you gonna explain
my being alive at all?
221
00:11:56,094 --> 00:11:59,791
When every other body, all the ones
from slavery times...
222
00:11:59,998 --> 00:12:04,594
...done died 50 and 60 years ago.
223
00:12:10,108 --> 00:12:12,668
Miss IKnight, what would you suggest?
224
00:12:14,312 --> 00:12:16,303
I'd call a Psych consult.
225
00:12:18,316 --> 00:12:20,750
Is that the doc for loonies?
226
00:12:23,421 --> 00:12:25,150
Yes, sir. Yes, it is.
227
00:12:26,925 --> 00:12:29,359
He's outrageous. He can be tasteless.
228
00:12:29,561 --> 00:12:32,257
He certainly likes to throw
his weight around.
229
00:12:32,631 --> 00:12:37,364
So you can't corroborate any
instances of sexual harassment?
230
00:12:38,904 --> 00:12:41,964
It's a very American thing,
if I may say...
231
00:12:42,173 --> 00:12:45,802
...this penchant for turning
personal issues into lawsuits.
232
00:12:47,012 --> 00:12:51,506
The hospital's hope, of course,
is for me as ombudsperson...
233
00:12:51,716 --> 00:12:53,809
...to address problems
and avoid lawsuits.
234
00:12:54,019 --> 00:12:57,716
Look, one has to be thick-skinned
working around Dr. Romano.
235
00:12:57,923 --> 00:13:00,153
You roll with the punches, don't you?
236
00:13:00,492 --> 00:13:04,326
Whoever's complaining may be too
fragile to practice medicine at all.
237
00:13:04,896 --> 00:13:07,228
Her identity is confidential...
238
00:13:07,432 --> 00:13:11,129
...until I can assess
if any action is warranted.
239
00:13:11,336 --> 00:13:16,035
It's a delicate business. Rarely do I
hear the kind of slam dunk...
240
00:13:16,241 --> 00:13:19,005
...where Dr. So-and-So made
sexual advances. She declined.
241
00:13:19,210 --> 00:13:22,907
And then he either fired her
or cut her funds.
242
00:13:23,582 --> 00:13:24,844
Right.
243
00:13:29,521 --> 00:13:31,216
Is Robert aware of this complaint?
244
00:13:31,423 --> 00:13:33,755
He doesn't know who came to me.
245
00:13:33,959 --> 00:13:38,396
He could figure it out since I prevent
the parties from working together.
246
00:13:39,464 --> 00:13:40,692
I see.
247
00:13:41,666 --> 00:13:43,896
It's my fault.
I let it go on too long.
248
00:13:44,102 --> 00:13:46,468
It's not your fault.
We're gonna start a line.
249
00:13:46,671 --> 00:13:48,798
- What's going on?
- Remember Ricky?
250
00:13:49,007 --> 00:13:53,103
He hasn't had a bowel movement in
three days. His temp spiked to 101.
251
00:13:53,311 --> 00:13:56,371
I let him get septic. I've always
been able to disimpact him.
252
00:13:56,581 --> 00:13:57,673
You disimpact him at home?
253
00:13:57,882 --> 00:14:00,112
I usually use a glove and Vaseline.
254
00:14:00,318 --> 00:14:02,752
The morphine's made him constipated.
255
00:14:02,988 --> 00:14:04,080
Why is he on morphine?
256
00:14:04,289 --> 00:14:07,554
He's having pain from contractures.
That's what I think.
257
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:10,387
Ricky stopped speaking about
a week ago.
258
00:14:10,595 --> 00:14:11,687
I'm sorry.
259
00:14:11,896 --> 00:14:13,454
He still opens his eyes sometimes.
260
00:14:14,299 --> 00:14:18,099
- Is the morphine working for the pain?
- I don't know.
261
00:14:18,303 --> 00:14:21,067
- Oh, God!
- It's all right. I've got it.
262
00:14:25,043 --> 00:14:26,567
I'm sorry.
263
00:14:26,945 --> 00:14:28,378
It's just...
264
00:14:31,950 --> 00:14:33,975
I know. I know.
265
00:14:34,853 --> 00:14:36,946
Everything he's been through...
266
00:14:37,155 --> 00:14:40,215
...I fall apart over this.
- It's okay.
267
00:14:40,425 --> 00:14:43,155
It's okay. I know.
268
00:14:51,069 --> 00:14:53,867
When we got to Michigan Avenue,
he just passed out.
269
00:14:54,072 --> 00:14:56,768
- How long ago did he hit his head?
- Four hours.
270
00:14:56,975 --> 00:15:00,502
He was fixing a floodlight over
our garage. The ladder slipped.
271
00:15:00,712 --> 00:15:03,408
But he seemed okay.
He just had a headache.
272
00:15:03,615 --> 00:15:06,709
When you have a head injury,
it's best to call the paramedics.
273
00:15:06,918 --> 00:15:08,977
- I did call.
- Paramedics didn't show?
274
00:15:09,187 --> 00:15:11,849
No. They came, but Jim seemed okay.
275
00:15:12,057 --> 00:15:15,356
And then there was a fire somewhere
and they got called away.
276
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,085
Jerry's gonna show you
where you can park.
277
00:15:18,296 --> 00:15:20,287
Jerry, I want you to call Dispatch.
278
00:15:20,498 --> 00:15:23,262
Find out which unit responded
to the Haggerty's call.
279
00:15:24,269 --> 00:15:25,497
Ricky's resting.
280
00:15:25,704 --> 00:15:29,231
His fever is due to an ear infection.
They're treating it with antibiotics.
281
00:15:29,441 --> 00:15:32,001
- Thank you, Carol, for everything.
- Oh, sure.
282
00:15:32,210 --> 00:15:34,804
Dr. Ross will be out to talk
to you about it.
283
00:15:35,113 --> 00:15:38,412
You always see me when I'm such
a wreck. I usually cope better.
284
00:15:38,616 --> 00:15:41,779
Well, sometimes coping too much
can drive you crazy.
285
00:15:41,986 --> 00:15:45,217
I meant to thank you.
The respite care has been wonderful.
286
00:15:45,423 --> 00:15:48,119
Oh, good. Did you get to your
daughter's recital?
287
00:15:48,326 --> 00:15:51,784
I had the worker come back another
time just so I could take a bath.
288
00:15:51,996 --> 00:15:54,123
- Good for you.
- Yeah.
289
00:15:54,332 --> 00:15:55,594
We had great news last week.
290
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,633
My daughter's blood test came back.
She's not a carrier.
291
00:15:58,837 --> 00:16:00,828
- Oh, that's a relief.
- Thank God.
292
00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:03,269
She'll never do this to her kids.
293
00:16:06,177 --> 00:16:08,668
We'll keep him until
his fever comes down.
294
00:16:09,314 --> 00:16:11,339
I'll see you before you go, okay?
295
00:16:12,083 --> 00:16:16,520
Does this mean we have to reduce
Ricky's morphine to prevent this?
296
00:16:16,721 --> 00:16:18,382
That's one thing we could do.
297
00:16:19,858 --> 00:16:22,622
This was the hardest part
with Michael.
298
00:16:22,827 --> 00:16:25,762
I lost Ricky's older brother to ALD
three years ago.
299
00:16:25,964 --> 00:16:27,090
Right.
300
00:16:27,532 --> 00:16:30,433
Now he can't tell me it hurts.
301
00:16:30,635 --> 00:16:34,435
Somehow it's worse
to see him suffering.
302
00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:37,769
I'll check. There may be something
we can do for the pain.
303
00:16:38,543 --> 00:16:40,704
- Okay.
- Okay.
304
00:16:43,014 --> 00:16:44,481
I'm in. Hyperventilate him.
305
00:16:44,682 --> 00:16:46,513
BP 160/90. Pulse 60.
306
00:16:46,718 --> 00:16:47,650
Mannitol's in.
307
00:16:47,852 --> 00:16:49,820
Your husband has a blown pupil.
308
00:16:50,021 --> 00:16:53,980
I'm worried the bleeding in the skull
could be putting pressure on his brain.
309
00:16:54,225 --> 00:16:58,127
- CT's ready.
- We'll get a head CT to find out more.
310
00:16:58,329 --> 00:16:59,819
Take Mrs. Haggerty to Chairs.
311
00:17:00,031 --> 00:17:03,091
Chuny, call Neurosurgery down here
right away.
312
00:17:05,103 --> 00:17:08,869
- I was afraid you weren't joining us.
- I'm looking forward to it.
313
00:17:09,073 --> 00:17:12,440
You don't see a choledochojejunostomy
every day.
314
00:17:12,644 --> 00:17:16,011
When they shuffled the schedule,
I was afraid I was gonna miss out.
315
00:17:16,214 --> 00:17:20,150
The Resident let the patient eat,
and we had to postpone.
316
00:17:20,351 --> 00:17:23,548
That's the problem sometimes
with Residents rotating in.
317
00:17:23,755 --> 00:17:25,450
They're not up to it or don't care.
318
00:17:25,657 --> 00:17:29,821
- Who was this Resident?
- Third-year from Emergency.
319
00:17:30,028 --> 00:17:32,496
- Doyle.
- Maggie Doyle?
320
00:17:32,864 --> 00:17:36,630
They think very highly of her. She's
being considered for Chief Resident.
321
00:17:36,835 --> 00:17:38,803
The pickings must be slim this year.
322
00:17:39,003 --> 00:17:41,801
I've always found her to be
extremely capable.
323
00:17:42,974 --> 00:17:45,135
I hear she makes a lot
of women uncomfortable.
324
00:17:47,712 --> 00:17:49,145
This is gonna be nifty.
325
00:17:49,347 --> 00:17:53,044
Stones in the common bile duct
distal to the sphincter of Oddi.
326
00:17:53,251 --> 00:17:54,650
No kidding?
327
00:17:55,153 --> 00:17:57,053
My whole team is tied up in the O.R.
328
00:17:57,255 --> 00:17:59,689
Someone needs
to scrub out and join us.
329
00:17:59,891 --> 00:18:02,587
- That's why you have to wait.
- Look at the size of the clot.
330
00:18:02,794 --> 00:18:05,695
It's compressing his brain.
Every second counts.
331
00:18:08,099 --> 00:18:10,863
Chuny, shave the scalp.
Malik, open the burr hole tray.
332
00:18:11,069 --> 00:18:12,866
You can't do burr holes in the ER.
333
00:18:13,071 --> 00:18:15,039
You're not giving me any choice.
334
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,969
What size gloves do you take?
335
00:18:17,175 --> 00:18:18,733
I am not comfortable with this.
336
00:18:18,943 --> 00:18:21,173
We can't wait without
risking brain damage.
337
00:18:21,379 --> 00:18:23,210
I'll try again to get someone down.
338
00:18:23,414 --> 00:18:26,042
- Twelve blade.
- Pulse is down to 55.
339
00:18:26,251 --> 00:18:28,446
- Self-retaining retractor.
- This is a mistake.
340
00:18:28,653 --> 00:18:30,587
Pressure's up to 180/95.
341
00:18:30,788 --> 00:18:32,255
That's the Cushing response.
342
00:18:32,457 --> 00:18:35,017
It'll herniate unless
we relieve the pressure.
343
00:18:35,226 --> 00:18:37,126
Periosteal elevator.
344
00:18:37,328 --> 00:18:40,024
- My Chief can be down in 20 minutes.
- Too long.
345
00:18:40,231 --> 00:18:42,722
Hudson brace and perforator.
346
00:18:46,704 --> 00:18:49,002
I can see the skull fracture line.
347
00:18:49,207 --> 00:18:54,577
ABG is back: PH 7.51, PCO-2's 25,
PO-2's 350.
348
00:18:54,779 --> 00:18:56,076
That's what we want.
349
00:18:58,483 --> 00:19:00,610
Okay, I'm ready for the burr hole.
350
00:19:00,818 --> 00:19:03,082
Can't you wait a few minutes?
351
00:19:05,456 --> 00:19:08,289
IKeep the irrigation coming.
I need to see what I'm doing.
352
00:19:09,527 --> 00:19:10,494
Please...
353
00:19:10,695 --> 00:19:11,855
...not too deep.
354
00:19:17,402 --> 00:19:18,835
That's okay.
355
00:19:20,104 --> 00:19:21,799
I'm through the inner table.
356
00:19:22,006 --> 00:19:23,997
Okay, there's the clot.
357
00:19:25,343 --> 00:19:26,901
I need a dural suction catheter.
358
00:19:27,111 --> 00:19:29,944
Pulse up to 170.
BP's 140/70.
359
00:19:30,148 --> 00:19:32,309
- Pupils are equal.
- That's more like it.
360
00:19:32,517 --> 00:19:34,917
Wet sterile gauze.
Let's get him to the O.R.
361
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,643
I'll alert the team.
362
00:19:37,055 --> 00:19:38,818
Tell them to take their time.
363
00:19:42,093 --> 00:19:43,526
Hey, Dr. Greene.
364
00:19:44,462 --> 00:19:45,656
Nice job.
365
00:19:47,999 --> 00:19:50,365
You got time for a quick question?
366
00:19:50,568 --> 00:19:51,432
Yeah, sure.
367
00:19:51,636 --> 00:19:54,070
Can I account for a broken
container in the study?
368
00:19:54,272 --> 00:19:55,864
One of the vials busted?
369
00:19:56,074 --> 00:19:57,974
The powder spilled into the envelope.
370
00:19:58,176 --> 00:20:00,576
I'd just make a note of it.
371
00:20:00,778 --> 00:20:05,147
We don't have many patients enlisted.
We won't use all the samples.
372
00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:07,978
That's all I wanted to know.
You gonna make your lecture?
373
00:20:08,186 --> 00:20:10,051
The guy from NASA at the med school?
374
00:20:10,254 --> 00:20:12,119
Oh, right. I almost forgot.
375
00:20:12,557 --> 00:20:16,015
Mrs. Haggerty, your husband's been
stabilized and sent up to the O.R.
376
00:20:16,227 --> 00:20:18,422
- What?
- Jerry.
377
00:20:19,497 --> 00:20:23,331
Your husband has been sent up to
Surgery. Someone will take you up.
378
00:20:23,534 --> 00:20:24,899
I'll take her up.
379
00:20:25,103 --> 00:20:28,197
Dr. Greene stabilized your husband.
He's doing fine.
380
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,168
Did you find out which paramedic
unit left him with a brain bleed?
381
00:20:32,377 --> 00:20:37,076
It was an engine company that went out.
Doris Pickman was the paramedic.
382
00:20:37,281 --> 00:20:38,305
Oh, boy.
383
00:20:38,516 --> 00:20:40,450
The deputy chief will handle it.
384
00:20:40,651 --> 00:20:45,020
Listen, call Dispatch back and tell
them that I'm gonna follow up.
385
00:20:45,223 --> 00:20:49,023
Oh, and Jerry, if you put
that music back on, you're fired.
386
00:20:50,595 --> 00:20:52,324
I'm sorry it's taking so long.
387
00:20:52,530 --> 00:20:55,021
We put my fingertip on ice.
It'll be okay, right?
388
00:20:55,233 --> 00:20:59,670
It's a possibility we won't be able
to reattach. The surgeon will decide.
389
00:21:01,272 --> 00:21:03,035
You're still waiting on Plastics?
390
00:21:03,241 --> 00:21:05,641
They swore he's on his way.
391
00:21:06,444 --> 00:21:09,345
Did you find another candidate
for that fracture study?
392
00:21:11,382 --> 00:21:13,748
No. Just recording a broken container.
393
00:21:14,252 --> 00:21:17,380
- Is he a plastic surgeon?
- No. Sorry.
394
00:21:18,056 --> 00:21:19,523
You want something to drink?
395
00:21:19,724 --> 00:21:22,352
My dad's getting me a Coke.
396
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,619
It shouldn't be that much longer.
397
00:21:28,132 --> 00:21:29,861
Did you find my son?
398
00:21:30,068 --> 00:21:32,832
His office said he was out
on a sales call.
399
00:21:33,037 --> 00:21:36,029
He's not picking up his cell phone.
We'll keep trying.
400
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,639
Thank you.
401
00:21:38,443 --> 00:21:42,174
- Is the Zofran helping the nausea?
- No.
402
00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:44,780
I'm gonna ask the docs to add Reglan.
403
00:21:44,982 --> 00:21:48,179
Don't bother. They don't work.
404
00:21:51,989 --> 00:21:56,449
Any chance you could wheel me outside
for some fresh air?
405
00:22:00,431 --> 00:22:05,391
I can't take you to smoke marijuana.
Maybe your son can help you.
406
00:22:05,603 --> 00:22:06,729
I'm really sorry.
407
00:22:07,538 --> 00:22:08,596
Don't be.
408
00:22:10,341 --> 00:22:14,072
I'm probably not able
to inhale anyway.
409
00:22:19,283 --> 00:22:22,275
The neuromuscular response
can be studied since...
410
00:22:22,487 --> 00:22:26,617
...there's no gravitational force
in the usual Z axis from head to toe.
411
00:22:26,824 --> 00:22:28,257
Gentleman in the back.
412
00:22:28,459 --> 00:22:30,950
What are the applications
of this study?
413
00:22:31,162 --> 00:22:33,960
A loss of muscle tone in microgravity
is an issue...
414
00:22:34,165 --> 00:22:36,326
...sci-fi movies
have largely ignored.
415
00:22:36,534 --> 00:22:38,798
Cosmonauts who spent months on Mir...
416
00:22:39,003 --> 00:22:41,437
...had to be carried
from the spacecraft.
417
00:22:42,140 --> 00:22:45,166
I'd like to kick off the Q and A
with a question to you:
418
00:22:45,376 --> 00:22:47,776
What interested you
in the astronaut program?
419
00:22:47,979 --> 00:22:51,073
I ask because a lot of candidates
admit to childhood dreams...
420
00:22:51,282 --> 00:22:53,682
...of adventure...
421
00:22:54,018 --> 00:22:57,476
...the adrenaline of takeoff,
the vastness of space.
422
00:22:57,688 --> 00:23:00,816
The doctor who just walked in,
would you respond?
423
00:23:01,025 --> 00:23:06,122
Well, for me, it was
pretty much adventure.
424
00:23:06,330 --> 00:23:09,094
The adrenaline of takeoff,
the vastness of outer space.
425
00:23:10,301 --> 00:23:12,360
Thank you for your candor, Dr...?
426
00:23:12,670 --> 00:23:15,503
- Mark Greene.
- Dr. Greene.
427
00:23:15,706 --> 00:23:17,401
Doug Lowrey wanted me to look you up.
428
00:23:17,608 --> 00:23:20,509
Dr. Greene may be joining us
as a payload specialist.
429
00:23:20,711 --> 00:23:23,407
The real picture of your schedule,
should you make it...
430
00:23:23,614 --> 00:23:25,479
...is one of routine.
431
00:23:25,683 --> 00:23:28,208
In training, you'll spend
a year repeating tasks...
432
00:23:28,419 --> 00:23:31,513
...following checklists,
adapting to a regimen.
433
00:23:31,722 --> 00:23:34,247
Everything you do is dictated
by the ground crew.
434
00:23:34,458 --> 00:23:37,723
You follow a precise
minute-to-minute itinerary.
435
00:23:38,996 --> 00:23:41,556
I'm sorry to disturb you.
I didn't know what to do.
436
00:23:41,766 --> 00:23:44,496
I screwed up bad. But the guy
seemed fine at the scene.
437
00:23:44,702 --> 00:23:48,001
The engine got the fire call, the guys
were all so jazzed, I told the wife...
438
00:23:48,206 --> 00:23:49,730
Doris, slow down.
439
00:23:50,374 --> 00:23:54,310
- How's Mr. Haggerty?
- Epidural hematoma, but he's okay.
440
00:23:54,979 --> 00:23:58,210
They pulled me off active duty.
They're doing an investigation.
441
00:23:58,416 --> 00:24:02,546
He's worried about bad press.
Fire engine leaves an accident scene.
442
00:24:02,753 --> 00:24:04,721
That's a medical error.
That's my call.
443
00:24:04,922 --> 00:24:08,585
Maybe I was influenced by the
firefighters. They wanted to go.
444
00:24:08,793 --> 00:24:11,785
That shouldn't cloud my judgment.
It'll ruin my record.
445
00:24:11,996 --> 00:24:14,430
Take a breath.
I'll see what I can do.
446
00:24:14,632 --> 00:24:17,100
- Will you?
- I'll call the deputy chief now.
447
00:24:17,768 --> 00:24:20,066
- Come on, doc.
- I'm not gonna do that.
448
00:24:20,271 --> 00:24:22,239
You heard me. Roll up your sleeves.
449
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,931
I'm not gonna arm-wrestle
over surgery.
450
00:24:25,142 --> 00:24:26,074
Are you scared to?
451
00:24:26,277 --> 00:24:27,710
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I am.
452
00:24:27,912 --> 00:24:31,575
Well, I want the surgery.
That's all there is to it.
453
00:24:31,782 --> 00:24:36,116
And that one doctor calculated
that I was fit in the head.
454
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,517
Because you didn't mention
you thought you were at Appomattox.
455
00:24:39,824 --> 00:24:42,418
But there was another doctor
who also said...
456
00:24:42,627 --> 00:24:47,064
...my FEV-1 was over 120 percent.
457
00:24:47,265 --> 00:24:48,857
I think that's darn good.
458
00:24:49,066 --> 00:24:50,761
They cleared you physically.
459
00:24:50,968 --> 00:24:53,436
You're giving me that
second-rate pill idea.
460
00:24:54,338 --> 00:24:58,604
You think the medical treatment
isn't convincing. I use my judgment.
461
00:24:58,809 --> 00:25:02,711
Your judgment is to put your arm
next to mine, clasping my hand...
462
00:25:03,281 --> 00:25:05,215
...and we will arm-wrestle.
463
00:25:05,416 --> 00:25:09,716
You will find out that old Charley's
not as weak and puny as you think.
464
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:10,978
I never said...
465
00:25:11,322 --> 00:25:12,414
I don't think you're puny.
466
00:25:12,623 --> 00:25:14,454
But you don't believe I can't die.
467
00:25:15,059 --> 00:25:16,617
I don't believe that one either.
468
00:25:16,994 --> 00:25:19,189
I'll give you something
you can believe.
469
00:25:19,397 --> 00:25:20,955
Put your elbow right here.
470
00:25:21,165 --> 00:25:22,257
Mr. Barnes, come on.
471
00:25:22,466 --> 00:25:26,095
Listen, if you don't give a man
his measure of respect...
472
00:25:26,304 --> 00:25:27,896
...and you don't believe his history...
473
00:25:28,105 --> 00:25:29,800
...you're talking about a fight.
474
00:25:31,309 --> 00:25:34,301
Oh, come on.
Don't make your elder beg.
475
00:25:34,512 --> 00:25:36,002
Come on.
476
00:25:47,358 --> 00:25:48,484
Go.
477
00:25:50,127 --> 00:25:51,560
Dr. Benton?
478
00:25:52,163 --> 00:25:53,790
There is an O.R. Available.
479
00:25:57,468 --> 00:25:59,197
Hey, don't humor me now.
480
00:26:02,106 --> 00:26:03,801
Oh, boy.
481
00:26:07,712 --> 00:26:09,077
You win.
482
00:26:10,881 --> 00:26:13,315
You win. All right, go ahead.
483
00:26:13,517 --> 00:26:15,007
Book the O.R.
484
00:26:19,557 --> 00:26:22,788
It's a new policy putting
paramedics on fire trucks.
485
00:26:22,993 --> 00:26:26,224
It'll take a while to work
the kinks out. I know Doris.
486
00:26:26,430 --> 00:26:30,958
I work with her. She deserves
to be counseled, not put on a desk.
487
00:26:31,168 --> 00:26:33,568
No, no, no. This is my job.
488
00:26:33,938 --> 00:26:36,805
- Is Doug Ross around?
- Try Admit.
489
00:26:37,208 --> 00:26:40,143
Deputy Chief Mead, please?
Mark Greene again.
490
00:26:43,214 --> 00:26:45,148
They let you out of the lab?
491
00:26:45,349 --> 00:26:47,613
I make deliveries for some customers.
492
00:26:47,818 --> 00:26:50,878
I got the toxicology results
on that powder you brought us.
493
00:26:51,088 --> 00:26:53,215
Negative for codeine.
494
00:26:53,424 --> 00:26:56,120
- Is that all you needed?
- That'll do it.
495
00:26:56,327 --> 00:26:58,989
When I heard you hand-carried it,
I thought...
496
00:26:59,230 --> 00:27:02,063
...well, maybe you were back
on the market.
497
00:27:02,266 --> 00:27:03,733
Me? No. I...
498
00:27:03,934 --> 00:27:07,870
I called the HandiVan for the Abbotts.
Joi said you wanted a prescription.
499
00:27:08,072 --> 00:27:09,835
- I'm on my way.
- Nice to see you.
500
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,601
- See you later.
- Ricky's temp is 98.8.
501
00:27:13,811 --> 00:27:17,269
- Which is good.
- You know back there that was nothing?
502
00:27:17,481 --> 00:27:19,039
Yeah, of course.
503
00:27:19,250 --> 00:27:22,378
I'm afraid Lynette has
appropriated the lounge.
504
00:27:22,586 --> 00:27:25,578
The staff will have
to gossip someplace else.
505
00:27:25,790 --> 00:27:26,984
You knew about it?
506
00:27:27,191 --> 00:27:31,890
She showed me her proposal last week.
It's a good area for the clinic.
507
00:27:33,697 --> 00:27:35,927
I know you can tell if he's cheating.
But some...
508
00:27:36,133 --> 00:27:38,294
Your man don't take a shower
before he leaves...
509
00:27:38,502 --> 00:27:40,265
...but he does when he gets home?
510
00:27:40,471 --> 00:27:42,405
He's cheating!
511
00:27:42,606 --> 00:27:44,938
The number of partners you have...
512
00:27:45,142 --> 00:27:48,043
...and he has can put you
at risk for cervical cancer.
513
00:27:48,245 --> 00:27:50,645
It can put you at risk
for being a fool.
514
00:27:51,282 --> 00:27:55,742
How young you were when you started
having sex and smoking are factors.
515
00:27:57,154 --> 00:28:01,056
That's right. This is Carol Hathaway.
She runs the clinic here.
516
00:28:01,258 --> 00:28:02,623
Nice to meet you all.
517
00:28:03,928 --> 00:28:08,228
Oh, carry on. I think it's a really
important topic to be informed about.
518
00:28:08,432 --> 00:28:11,060
Please feel free to come
see us at the clinic anytime.
519
00:28:11,402 --> 00:28:12,699
Thanks, Carol.
520
00:28:14,271 --> 00:28:16,296
My apologies. I'm Dr. Baker.
521
00:28:17,107 --> 00:28:19,041
Jeanie Boulet. This is Donna.
522
00:28:19,243 --> 00:28:22,974
- Her father should be back soon.
- This is the x-ray, Ms. Boulet?
523
00:28:23,881 --> 00:28:26,645
I did a digital nerve block
with Marcaine.
524
00:28:27,117 --> 00:28:31,679
Amputated the distal phalanx.
We'll rongeur and do a V-Y flap.
525
00:28:31,889 --> 00:28:33,754
You can put it back on, right?
526
00:28:33,958 --> 00:28:37,655
The blood vessels are too small.
Did you explain to her?
527
00:28:37,862 --> 00:28:40,092
I told her it may be a possibility.
528
00:28:43,367 --> 00:28:46,234
But you guys put arms
and stuff back on.
529
00:28:47,137 --> 00:28:50,834
If you had cut your finger at
the base, we'd have bigger arteries.
530
00:28:51,342 --> 00:28:54,436
We'll trim down the bone
and create a flap over the defect.
531
00:28:56,380 --> 00:28:57,813
You mean I'll have a stump?
532
00:28:58,015 --> 00:29:00,108
Maybe we should talk
to Donna's father.
533
00:29:00,317 --> 00:29:03,809
Yes. If we can get a Trauma Room,
I'll do the procedure right away.
534
00:29:06,524 --> 00:29:09,618
Don't worry. We'll make you
a small prosthetic tip.
535
00:29:11,562 --> 00:29:13,462
I'm saying oldies are played out.
536
00:29:13,664 --> 00:29:16,565
- People like the classics.
- Not ones you can't dance to.
537
00:29:16,767 --> 00:29:17,995
You're gonna lose them.
538
00:29:18,202 --> 00:29:19,430
Jerry, what is this?
539
00:29:19,637 --> 00:29:21,298
You wanted the rap turned off.
540
00:29:21,505 --> 00:29:24,668
Actually, I said we need a desk
clerk here, not a DJ.
541
00:29:24,875 --> 00:29:27,275
Fine. It's no more. Forever gone.
542
00:29:27,478 --> 00:29:30,504
What possessed you to pick
that particular song?
543
00:29:30,714 --> 00:29:34,377
I don't know. Just instinct.
I'm just going with the flow.
544
00:29:34,585 --> 00:29:37,452
My mom used to play this album
when I was a kid.
545
00:29:37,655 --> 00:29:41,091
It was always, like,
the ultimate freedom. You know?
546
00:29:41,292 --> 00:29:43,658
Leave ground control behind
and float way.
547
00:29:43,861 --> 00:29:45,488
- Escape.
- Yeah.
548
00:29:46,430 --> 00:29:50,457
The folks in the Waiting Area want to
know if you could put Bowie back on?
549
00:29:50,834 --> 00:29:54,326
Jerry, do whatever you want, okay?
Just use your best judgment.
550
00:29:54,538 --> 00:29:58,235
All right. Now, you give this to him
every six hours if needed.
551
00:29:58,442 --> 00:30:01,070
You don't exceed four doses
in 24 hours.
552
00:30:01,278 --> 00:30:03,371
Call me if it isn't working for him.
553
00:30:03,581 --> 00:30:04,843
Watch your head.
554
00:30:05,783 --> 00:30:08,547
Why didn't the genetics clinic
suggest this medication?
555
00:30:08,752 --> 00:30:12,950
It's still part of a clinical trial
with kids with fractures.
556
00:30:13,157 --> 00:30:15,853
Perfectly safe for Ricky.
It might give him some relief.
557
00:30:16,060 --> 00:30:19,393
- Do I need to fill any of this out?
- I wouldn't bother.
558
00:30:19,597 --> 00:30:21,997
He's not a candidate for the study.
559
00:30:22,199 --> 00:30:23,791
Thank you.
560
00:30:30,641 --> 00:30:32,541
Trauma 2 is open.
Can you assist me?
561
00:30:32,743 --> 00:30:35,576
I insist. You blew by that
12-year-old girl...
562
00:30:35,779 --> 00:30:38,043
...like she was an annoyance
in your busy day.
563
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:42,617
You said there's a parent here
to give consent.
564
00:30:42,820 --> 00:30:44,913
Find him. I'll explain the procedure.
565
00:30:45,122 --> 00:30:46,555
I'll do that.
566
00:30:48,959 --> 00:30:51,587
I can't believe I get to scrub in
on my first day.
567
00:30:51,795 --> 00:30:53,888
- That's the best way to learn.
- Masks?
568
00:30:54,098 --> 00:30:55,895
Charley has a crowd in
the Waiting Room.
569
00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:57,465
Does anyone know where he's from?
570
00:30:57,668 --> 00:30:59,602
Been in the neighborhood for years.
571
00:30:59,803 --> 00:31:04,433
That car he was push-starting?
Registration expired in 1956.
572
00:31:04,642 --> 00:31:05,700
He had terrible stories.
573
00:31:05,909 --> 00:31:08,173
The first two branches
of the internal carotid?
574
00:31:08,379 --> 00:31:11,405
The ophthalmic artery
and the posterior communicating.
575
00:31:11,615 --> 00:31:14,812
Okay, that's it. You're ready.
Let's go.
576
00:31:22,259 --> 00:31:25,387
Gown and glove Miss IKnight.
She doesn't know the ropes.
577
00:31:25,596 --> 00:31:26,927
Just about to put him under.
578
00:31:27,131 --> 00:31:31,158
IKeep your hands in front of you. Don't
reach for anything unless you're told.
579
00:31:31,368 --> 00:31:34,030
- What if I have an itch?
- Tell the nurse where.
580
00:31:34,238 --> 00:31:35,364
What is that?
581
00:31:35,572 --> 00:31:37,233
- Dr. Riggs?
- He's bradying down.
582
00:31:37,441 --> 00:31:39,807
- Atropine.
- One milligram onboard.
583
00:31:40,010 --> 00:31:42,308
- Blood pressure's dropping.
- He's in V-fib.
584
00:31:42,513 --> 00:31:44,310
- Grab the crash cart.
- I'm sterile!
585
00:31:44,515 --> 00:31:46,142
It doesn't make a difference.
586
00:31:46,350 --> 00:31:49,148
Amp of epi. Let's move.
Come on. Clear!
587
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,254
- Asystole.
- Start compressions.
588
00:31:52,456 --> 00:31:55,289
- Epi and atropine onboard.
- Right. What's the rhythm?
589
00:31:55,492 --> 00:31:58,052
- Got an idioventricular rhythm.
- Faint pulse.
590
00:31:58,262 --> 00:32:00,423
- Try to get a BP.
- Can he still have surgery?
591
00:32:00,631 --> 00:32:03,464
No. Let's get him a room in the ICU.
592
00:32:12,042 --> 00:32:13,509
How long till spring?
593
00:32:13,711 --> 00:32:18,444
- This is the shortest day of the year.
- That's December. We're past that.
594
00:32:19,183 --> 00:32:22,311
I made up my mind.
I'm not going to Houston.
595
00:32:23,220 --> 00:32:26,121
- Really?
- It's an old dream.
596
00:32:26,924 --> 00:32:29,984
You fooled me.
I thought you were ready to blast off.
597
00:32:30,194 --> 00:32:33,129
I realized I didn't want to go.
598
00:32:34,131 --> 00:32:36,099
I don't want to go anywhere.
599
00:32:36,934 --> 00:32:39,869
This is what I do.
This is where I belong.
600
00:32:41,872 --> 00:32:44,238
Lost that old restlessness?
601
00:32:44,441 --> 00:32:45,669
I guess.
602
00:32:51,782 --> 00:32:52,840
Coming in?
603
00:32:56,153 --> 00:32:58,451
Come on in! It's cold!
604
00:32:59,123 --> 00:33:00,988
You went out of your way
not to involve me.
605
00:33:01,191 --> 00:33:03,250
- Why would I?
- You knew I would object.
606
00:33:03,460 --> 00:33:07,794
- Object to what?
- All the women were African-American.
607
00:33:07,998 --> 00:33:10,489
- Yeah.
- The clinic's for everyone.
608
00:33:10,701 --> 00:33:13,226
- I didn't exclude anyone.
- Where did you advertise?
609
00:33:13,437 --> 00:33:16,372
I have a special interest
in an underserved population...
610
00:33:16,573 --> 00:33:18,734
...that is particularly at risk.
611
00:33:18,942 --> 00:33:22,241
- Latinos are even more at risk.
- Our death rate is higher.
612
00:33:22,446 --> 00:33:24,676
Vietnamese women
have worse statistics.
613
00:33:24,882 --> 00:33:29,581
To get women to consider changing
sexual habits, they need to feel open.
614
00:33:29,787 --> 00:33:32,187
Women talk more freely
among their own.
615
00:33:32,389 --> 00:33:35,552
We'll have to hold seminars
that target other populations.
616
00:33:36,460 --> 00:33:39,759
Look, I did this on my own time
out of my own interests.
617
00:33:39,963 --> 00:33:43,364
I understand that. But I can't
have you pulling against me.
618
00:33:43,867 --> 00:33:48,395
If you want to work in the clinic,
adjust your project to include others.
619
00:33:49,873 --> 00:33:53,775
Well, I guess you've given me
something to think about.
620
00:33:56,113 --> 00:34:00,743
Couple more stitches
and the Y is closed. See?
621
00:34:02,452 --> 00:34:04,579
What kind of music do you play, Donna?
622
00:34:06,490 --> 00:34:08,549
Folk and classical.
623
00:34:08,759 --> 00:34:10,158
Some rock.
624
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,693
Well, Ms. Boulet is right.
More 5-0 nylon, please.
625
00:34:14,698 --> 00:34:16,996
A prosthetic will take
some getting used to.
626
00:34:17,201 --> 00:34:19,829
But with time, you'll be able
to play just fine.
627
00:34:20,037 --> 00:34:24,030
- What about computer games?
- You'll never be able to touch them.
628
00:34:24,908 --> 00:34:26,671
Your dad paid me to say that.
629
00:34:28,912 --> 00:34:31,107
- Cut, please, Jenny.
- It's Jeanie.
630
00:34:32,282 --> 00:34:34,147
Sorry, Ms. Boulet.
631
00:34:36,887 --> 00:34:40,755
- Honest. I owe you my first born.
- You do that and you're on a desk.
632
00:34:40,958 --> 00:34:44,394
- You saved my career.
- I gave you a chance to turn it around.
633
00:34:44,595 --> 00:34:47,655
We'll work out a counseling
schedule next week, okay?
634
00:34:47,865 --> 00:34:49,332
- Thanks.
- Where's Jerry?
635
00:34:49,533 --> 00:34:52,627
- We're in between sets.
- I was taking requests.
636
00:34:52,836 --> 00:34:54,269
- Hey, you off?
- Yeah. Why?
637
00:34:54,471 --> 00:34:56,905
That guy in Exam 2
wanted to say goodbye.
638
00:34:57,107 --> 00:34:58,904
Mr. Ackerman? Pancreatic cancer?
639
00:34:59,109 --> 00:35:02,135
He's gonna have to stay the night.
Nobody can come until tomorrow.
640
00:35:02,346 --> 00:35:04,678
Are you waiting for the health bus?
641
00:35:04,882 --> 00:35:08,477
We're all loaded up. I just had
another question for Dr. Ross.
642
00:35:08,685 --> 00:35:12,781
- Dr. Ross is in a meeting.
- Is there something I can do?
643
00:35:12,990 --> 00:35:16,551
He gave some new medication to us.
644
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,491
I forgot to ask if it's all right
to take with Robaxin. My son has ALD.
645
00:35:20,964 --> 00:35:22,022
He has a fracture?
646
00:35:22,232 --> 00:35:25,360
No. But he was in pain.
Dr. Ross thought this might help.
647
00:35:26,036 --> 00:35:27,469
Where's your study envelope?
648
00:35:27,905 --> 00:35:30,100
He said we didn't need to bother.
649
00:35:30,340 --> 00:35:31,500
Dr. Ross did?
650
00:35:32,342 --> 00:35:35,038
Since my son isn't actually
a candidate for the trial.
651
00:35:36,780 --> 00:35:38,042
I see.
652
00:35:42,753 --> 00:35:44,880
I heard your son couldn't make it.
653
00:36:03,473 --> 00:36:05,100
You need this?
654
00:36:05,309 --> 00:36:06,606
Please.
655
00:36:40,243 --> 00:36:41,733
Never mind.
656
00:36:42,179 --> 00:36:43,942
Oh, God!
657
00:37:01,465 --> 00:37:02,523
Again?
658
00:37:37,367 --> 00:37:40,461
- Hey, is Doug still upstairs?
- I don't know.
659
00:37:40,670 --> 00:37:42,160
Well, I'm headed home.
660
00:37:42,839 --> 00:37:44,966
Mark, what are you doing?
661
00:37:45,876 --> 00:37:48,401
Do you know anything about
a boy with ALD?
662
00:37:48,612 --> 00:37:49,442
Ricky Abbott?
663
00:37:49,646 --> 00:37:51,910
Why was he given meds
for the clinical trial?
664
00:37:52,349 --> 00:37:54,283
He wasn't. Doug wouldn't do that.
665
00:37:54,885 --> 00:37:56,512
Looks like he did.
666
00:37:59,022 --> 00:38:01,855
Talk to Doug. I'm sure there's
an explanation.
667
00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:13,825
Ms. Boulet, I wanted to thank you
for assisting on the finger flap.
668
00:38:14,037 --> 00:38:15,061
Not at all.
669
00:38:15,272 --> 00:38:18,901
And for reminding me to take time
with our young patient.
670
00:38:19,109 --> 00:38:23,205
I don't do well when I get behind
schedule. But that's no excuse.
671
00:38:23,413 --> 00:38:26,143
- You were right, and I thank you.
- You're welcome.
672
00:38:26,349 --> 00:38:30,877
Would you join me for an opening
at the Art Institute this evening?
673
00:38:31,088 --> 00:38:32,112
This evening?
674
00:38:32,322 --> 00:38:35,382
I realize it's short notice.
It may be interesting:
675
00:38:35,592 --> 00:38:37,583
Raghubir Singh, an Indian
photographer.
676
00:38:37,794 --> 00:38:39,227
I don't know much about art.
677
00:38:39,429 --> 00:38:43,991
I don't care about art. I promised
my wife, who died a few years ago...
678
00:38:44,201 --> 00:38:48,103
...I'd keep our membership and not
become a Philistine without her.
679
00:38:48,305 --> 00:38:50,273
I'm sorry to hear you lost your wife.
680
00:38:50,474 --> 00:38:54,240
And my partner. Jenny and I had
a practice together for 15 years.
681
00:38:54,444 --> 00:38:56,036
Her name was Jenny?
682
00:38:56,246 --> 00:38:57,770
You're a sweet angel.
683
00:38:57,981 --> 00:38:59,346
Called for a consult?
684
00:38:59,549 --> 00:39:02,245
- Self-inflicted knife wounds.
- Quite a few of them.
685
00:39:02,452 --> 00:39:04,750
He gave me a suturing refresher.
686
00:39:04,955 --> 00:39:06,047
She's my angel.
687
00:39:06,256 --> 00:39:09,248
That is not what he was calling me
before the Haldol.
688
00:39:09,459 --> 00:39:12,986
No blood in the urine but these two
needed two-layer closures.
689
00:39:13,196 --> 00:39:15,858
Good bowel sounds. Belly's soft.
690
00:39:16,066 --> 00:39:20,799
I wanted to mention to you I have
been having a problem with Dr. Romano.
691
00:39:22,372 --> 00:39:26,274
IKerry spoke with me this morning
without actually saying it was you.
692
00:39:26,476 --> 00:39:29,001
I'm sorry I didn't ask before
dragging your name in.
693
00:39:30,013 --> 00:39:32,311
I don't think I can be of any help.
694
00:39:35,952 --> 00:39:38,648
Well, no sign of any
intra-abdominal bleed.
695
00:39:38,855 --> 00:39:41,790
He's got another one on his back.
We'll have to lift him.
696
00:39:41,992 --> 00:39:45,086
I hoped Romano would cool it
if I confronted him.
697
00:39:45,295 --> 00:39:48,662
But instead he threatened to blast me
on my evaluation.
698
00:39:50,066 --> 00:39:52,500
Dr. Romano can be volatile.
699
00:39:52,702 --> 00:39:55,466
You mean he's a mean-spirited
little powermonger?
700
00:39:55,672 --> 00:39:58,971
That too.
Well, the kidneys look fine as well.
701
00:39:59,910 --> 00:40:02,003
Whores! Whores! I want to die.
702
00:40:02,212 --> 00:40:04,237
There's the Mr. Michaels I know
and love.
703
00:40:06,583 --> 00:40:10,917
Look, Romano, he likes to push
things to the limit.
704
00:40:11,922 --> 00:40:14,686
I guess he thought anything goes
with the gay chick.
705
00:40:15,025 --> 00:40:17,585
I hope you're not going out
on a limb.
706
00:40:19,596 --> 00:40:21,029
He's a star.
707
00:40:21,631 --> 00:40:23,394
Self-respect's a bitch.
708
00:40:26,369 --> 00:40:31,068
- IKerry, do you have a moment?
- Mark needs me. You're leaving?
709
00:40:31,274 --> 00:40:34,038
- How about breakfast tomorrow?
- That's more than a minute.
710
00:40:34,244 --> 00:40:36,804
I may have some things to add
to your inquiry.
711
00:40:37,013 --> 00:40:39,413
I'll call you.
We'll set something up.
712
00:40:39,616 --> 00:40:41,777
There she is. Minnesota Fats.
713
00:40:41,985 --> 00:40:44,453
- I was afraid I'd missed you.
- Hey, Reggie.
714
00:40:44,654 --> 00:40:46,645
You'll give me a chance
to win my money back?
715
00:40:46,856 --> 00:40:49,416
Playing pool two nights in a row
is bad luck.
716
00:40:49,626 --> 00:40:52,823
It's bad luck to play against you.
Where'd you learn?
717
00:40:53,029 --> 00:40:54,997
Signs of a misspent youth.
718
00:40:55,532 --> 00:40:57,227
What do you say we go eat?
719
00:40:57,434 --> 00:40:59,527
I already have plans for tonight.
720
00:40:59,736 --> 00:41:01,533
Something a new friend
can barge in on?
721
00:41:01,738 --> 00:41:03,831
Opening at the Art Institute.
722
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,634
Say no more.
I'll catch you on the weekend.
723
00:41:09,879 --> 00:41:13,838
I almost went straight to Anspaugh.
What the hell was Doug thinking?
724
00:41:14,050 --> 00:41:19,181
If we were exposed for breaking
protocol on a federally funded trial...
725
00:41:19,389 --> 00:41:22,586
They'd cut off research money
and Medicare payments for years.
726
00:41:22,792 --> 00:41:24,623
And it's against the law.
727
00:41:26,129 --> 00:41:28,154
They brought me the study.
728
00:41:28,732 --> 00:41:30,165
I got him onboard.
729
00:41:31,835 --> 00:41:33,530
Mark, given the implications...
730
00:41:33,737 --> 00:41:37,138
...I don't think we have any choice
but to handle this internally.
731
00:41:37,574 --> 00:41:38,871
Cover it up.
732
00:41:40,744 --> 00:41:43,770
If Anspaugh finds out,
he has to react.
733
00:41:46,416 --> 00:41:48,384
Nice position he put us in, huh?
734
00:41:48,952 --> 00:41:51,079
Do you have the key
to the pain study cabinet?
735
00:41:52,055 --> 00:41:53,818
Come in and take a seat.
736
00:42:00,497 --> 00:42:01,725
Any changes?
737
00:42:03,166 --> 00:42:04,565
Will he wake up?
738
00:42:05,402 --> 00:42:06,869
What do you think?
739
00:42:08,238 --> 00:42:13,403
His brain was deprived of a lot
of oxygen during the cardiac arrest.
740
00:42:13,610 --> 00:42:17,706
Old folks don't usually come back with
full function after hypoxic insult.
741
00:42:18,415 --> 00:42:19,905
It's a wait-and-see.
742
00:42:21,651 --> 00:42:23,778
He could live like this for a while.
743
00:42:24,187 --> 00:42:27,452
Forever. Well, according to him.
744
00:42:33,029 --> 00:42:34,724
What's his Glasgow score?
745
00:42:35,432 --> 00:42:36,694
An eight.
746
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,425
No spontaneous eye-opening.
747
00:42:39,636 --> 00:42:41,160
No speaking.
748
00:42:41,938 --> 00:42:44,498
Responds only to painful stimulus.
749
00:42:44,941 --> 00:42:46,135
Excuse me.
750
00:42:56,820 --> 00:42:58,947
I'm sorry. I didn't expect this.
751
00:42:59,155 --> 00:43:01,214
Well, neither did I.
752
00:43:03,093 --> 00:43:04,993
Should I go tell his neighbors?
753
00:43:05,695 --> 00:43:07,959
No. I'll do it.
754
00:43:11,401 --> 00:43:13,164
Then to top it off, he goes...
755
00:43:13,370 --> 00:43:16,100
...to IKerry Weaver instead
of coming to me.
756
00:43:16,906 --> 00:43:18,134
But you gave Joi the meds?
757
00:43:18,341 --> 00:43:21,310
Mark said that he wasn't
gonna use all the samples.
758
00:43:21,511 --> 00:43:24,309
- That's not the point, is it?
- What is the point?
759
00:43:24,514 --> 00:43:28,245
That breaking research protocol could
damage the hospital's funding.
760
00:43:32,389 --> 00:43:34,254
So you agree with them?
761
00:43:35,258 --> 00:43:36,691
I see their point.
762
00:43:37,660 --> 00:43:38,957
You know how sick he is?
763
00:43:39,662 --> 00:43:43,598
Yeah, but that decision could have
a larger impact.
764
00:43:45,335 --> 00:43:49,101
The hospital's only at risk if someone
goes out of their way to report me.
765
00:43:49,305 --> 00:43:52,638
And believe me, it kills IKerry Weaver
not to be able to do that.
766
00:43:58,381 --> 00:43:59,780
I don't know what to say.
767
00:44:09,025 --> 00:44:10,890
Doug, don't walk away.
