1. Oh, I was just dropping off
yesterday's post-op notes.
Copy !req
2. That's okay. I was up reading.
Copy !req
3. Didn't you have surgery this morning?
Copy !req
4. Oh, damn!
Copy !req
5. The file on Mrs. Rubadoux.
Copy !req
6. - You finished with it?
- Yeah, I'll drop it off later.
Copy !req
7. Get going. I'll take care of it.
Copy !req
8. - Hey, Carter.
- Morning.
Copy !req
9. And a grand one it is.
Copy !req
10. Yeah, easy for you to say.
I'm not on until noon.
Copy !req
11. Yeah, well, it's much more fun
to ride in together.
Copy !req
12. - Don't you usually drive to work?
- My car's in the shop.
Copy !req
13. Did you drive around for two, three
weeks with that brake-warning light on?
Copy !req
14. No! A week. At most.
Copy !req
15. Is your apartment on this line?
Copy !req
16. - No, I'm on the Congress-O'Hare line.
- But you're taking Ravenswood today.
Copy !req
17. - Yeah, it's Mark's line.
- This is us.
Copy !req
18. Stop and shop
at Davey's Liquor Depot.
Copy !req
19. Tequila shopping.
Doug Ross' birthday.
Copy !req
20. - Margaritas at my apartment after work.
- Okay.
Copy !req
21. - See you later.
- Bye.
Copy !req
22. Right.
Copy !req
23. I'm doing an endarterectomy at 11:00,
if any of your residents want to observe.
Copy !req
24. And give them an excuse
to miss my rounds?
Copy !req
25. How thoughtless of me.
Copy !req
26. - Peter.
- Morning.
Copy !req
27. Hey, there. So good of you to wake.
Copy !req
28. - I'm sorry. I was working late last night.
- And you overslept.
Copy !req
29. - It won't happen again.
- I hope not.
Copy !req
30. I think the patient might have questioned
your professionalism.
Copy !req
31. - I stayed up reading the research files.
- Impressive, but diligence is no excuse.
Copy !req
32. There now, the lecture is over.
Copy !req
33. Mrs. Rubadoux, Mr. Roth,
Warrington, Dorgan, McFarland...
Copy !req
34. And these patients
have what in common?
Copy !req
35. You used Lazerol and the
clamp-and-run technique on them.
Copy !req
36. We used the clamp-and-run.
Copy !req
37. I went through the charts.
Copy !req
38. I'm trying to understand why all of these
patients were excluded from the study.
Copy !req
39. Well, they each had complications
which made them unsuitable candidates.
Copy !req
40. - Shouldn't we determine that before?
- They were emergent cases.
Copy !req
41. - Would you have let them die?
- No.
Copy !req
42. This is the first research project
you've participated in?
Copy !req
43. - Yes.
- Then it's my fault.
Copy !req
44. I failed to communicate the magnitude
and scope of this kind of study.
Copy !req
45. - No, I understand the scope.
- I don't think you do.
Copy !req
46. Mrs. Rubadoux had pulmonary disease,
renal insufficiency and heart failure.
Copy !req
47. She was never a candidate for the study.
Thank you. I'll sign those later.
Copy !req
48. - But with Mr. Roth—
- With Mr. Roth...
Copy !req
49. we changed surgical procedure in
mid-course which benefited the patient.
Copy !req
50. Would you have us continue the
clamp-and-run just to include him?
Copy !req
51. No, but there are rules
for compiling data, right?
Copy !req
52. We're talking about saving lives.
You and I have talked about risks...
Copy !req
53. related to this extraordinary level
of medicine.
Copy !req
54. We'd never take the first step
if we didn't take risks.
Copy !req
55. Now, I hope that as we go along,
you can grasp that.
Copy !req
56. I'll try to.
Copy !req
57. Perhaps I was foolish
to bring you in on the team.
Copy !req
58. No, sir, I don't think so.
Copy !req
59. Third-year residents
rarely have the maturity.
Copy !req
60. You are lucky to have this opportunity.
Copy !req
61. Perhaps you don't realize
how lucky you are.
Copy !req
62. Maybe you ought to take a day
to consider that.
Copy !req
63. Sorry. Thanks.
Copy !req
64. Carter, seeing as how you have
so much time...
Copy !req
65. I've got a knee lac
on a 6-year-old in 2.
Copy !req
66. Can't do it. We are observing
a thyroidectomy at 11...
Copy !req
67. and we've got rounds at 10.
Copy !req
68. - You've got time.
- What?
Copy !req
69. - Make yourself useful.
- Dr. Benton—
Copy !req
70. - About that knee lac...
- Do you mind?
Copy !req
71. Paramedics are pulling up with an
apparently intoxicated street individual.
Copy !req
72. - Be my guest.
- Man!
Copy !req
73. Come on. I've missed you, Carter.
Copy !req
74. By the way, happy birthday, Dr. Ross.
Copy !req
75. It's not my birthday.
That's an ugly rumor.
Copy !req
76. And, Jerry, Groundhog Day is over,
so let's get rid of that guy.
Copy !req
77. I am so sorry, Marguerite. I just
can't understand how this happened.
Copy !req
78. My foot hit the ice.
My bum hit the bricks.
Copy !req
79. I shoveled all the steps,
but there it was, third from the top.
Copy !req
80. A small, yet undeniably
slick patch of ice.
Copy !req
81. I'm gonna live, Edward. Don't worry.
Copy !req
82. Yes, but why? Why did this happen?
Copy !req
83. - It was an accident.
- There are no accidents.
Copy !req
84. He overthinks things.
Studying to be an analyst.
Copy !req
85. - Psychoanalyst?
- Scary, huh?
Copy !req
86. I still can't believe
my daughter married him.
Copy !req
87. Nathan Conley, 27-years-old.
Copy !req
88. - ETOH intoxication, ALOC, ataxic.
- Oh, man.
Copy !req
89. - Nystagmus, BP 90/40, resps 14.
- Excuse me, I'm gonna move upwind.
Copy !req
90. - Who called it in?
- Some deadbeat threw him out.
Copy !req
91. Nathan couldn't stop throwing up. Drank
a gallon of vodka, took some Xanax.
Copy !req
92. - Some Xanax?
- The only number he could think of.
Copy !req
93. - Did you make up today's schedule?
- Like every day.
Copy !req
94. - Where is it?
- That is it.
Copy !req
95. I was assisting Dr. Zarem on
a parathyroidectomy at 11...
Copy !req
96. and Dr. Enari on a nephrectomy at 3.
This says Bachtell's assisting.
Copy !req
97. Dr. Vucelich said you were going to
be tied up in ER, so I reassigned.
Copy !req
98. - Mark and Susan, really?
- Carter said they were very chummy.
Copy !req
99. - On the EI? I thought Susan drove.
- I saw them in the lounge yesterday.
Copy !req
100. Hey, I saw them in the cafeteria.
Copy !req
101. Susan, how are you this morning?
Copy !req
102. I'm fine. Thank you.
Haven't I already seen you today?
Copy !req
103. Yes, you know, you have.
You have seen me today.
Copy !req
104. Carol, what do you say
we get to that earache in 1?
Copy !req
105. Oh, right. Earache.
Copy !req
106. - Did you lose consciousness?
- Not this time, she didn't.
Copy !req
107. - This time?
- Two months ago...
Copy !req
108. I stumbled over his new puppy
and hit my head on the driveway.
Copy !req
109. My wife and I, we want children, but...
Copy !req
110. Okay, let's just get it out in the open.
Copy !req
111. I have some problems with commitment,
accepting responsibility.
Copy !req
112. We thought a puppy might help.
Copy !req
113. - Any blurry vision this time?
- No, just the cut.
Copy !req
114. Do you think that I could somehow
be causing these accidents?
Copy !req
115. I know that we've been having
some difficulties since you moved in.
Copy !req
116. Let the doctor work, Edward.
Copy !req
117. - Are you allergic to lidocaine?
- I wasn't before.
Copy !req
118. I had stitches on my arm last summer.
Copy !req
119. Edward sliced me with a Weed Whacker.
Copy !req
120. Oh, my God, I did. I did, didn't I?
Copy !req
121. I can't believe this.
I'm experiencing displacement.
Copy !req
122. That's a defense mechanism wherein
feelings of hostility are inappropriate—
Copy !req
123. Inappropriately redirected!
Copy !req
124. Sorry about this. My daughter,
the only one with a job...
Copy !req
125. had to go to work today,
so Edward brought me in.
Copy !req
126. It's okay.
Have you had a tetanus booster?
Copy !req
127. Three months ago.
Copy !req
128. Cut my leg on the basement stairs.
Tripped over Edward's golf clubs.
Copy !req
129. - Banana bag's going.
- Are we done?
Copy !req
130. What's the deal, Carter?
Surgery withdrawal?
Copy !req
131. I ordered a blood alcohol level
and a tox screen.
Copy !req
132. Okay, get a CBC, stick him for a glucose
and let's get a Chem-20.
Copy !req
133. - His lytes have gotta be all screwed up.
- Got it.
Copy !req
134. Scattered rales bilaterally.
Did you check his pupils?
Copy !req
135. - Equal, round and reactive.
- Saline's going.
Copy !req
136. Let's give him naloxone, two IV push.
And why are we doing that, Carter?
Copy !req
137. To reverse the narcotic effect.
Copy !req
138. Are we boring you,
or is it the way he smells?
Copy !req
139. Okay, check his head for contusions.
Copy !req
140. - Glucose is 40.
- Give him glucose and thiamine.
Copy !req
141. - Why are we giving him thiamine?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
142. Given his nutritional state, glucose can
precipitate Wernicke's encephalopathy.
Copy !req
143. Symptoms which include ataxia
and paralysis of eye movement.
Copy !req
144. Isn't it nice to know
you can learn something new?
Copy !req
145. Prep for a gastric lavage. I'll be back.
Copy !req
146. Oh, and, Carter, I want you to do
a neuro check every 15 minutes.
Copy !req
147. And don't forget to do a stool guaiac.
Copy !req
148. Good to see you back down here, Carter.
We missed you.
Copy !req
149. - Hey, Mark, how's it going?
- I'm ready for a margarita.
Copy !req
150. - Little celebration?
- It's your birthday.
Copy !req
151. No, I mean about you and Susan.
I want you to know I think it's great.
Copy !req
152. You two went home together
last night?
Copy !req
153. - What? We arrived this morning, but—
- Know what? You can fill me in later.
Copy !req
154. Dr. Greene.
Copy !req
155. Hi, I'm Reilly Brown. We haven't met.
You're Dr...?
Copy !req
156. Mark Greene. Shouldn't you be
in high school somewhere?
Copy !req
157. I'm a lot older than I look, 21.
Copy !req
158. - What have you got, Reilly?
- Wilson Wolfe, 50.
Copy !req
159. Stuck his right hand in the snow blower.
Copy !req
160. BP 120/80, pulse 106.
I think he's a little nervous.
Copy !req
161. - Lose any fingers?
- No. Got them right here.
Copy !req
162. Oh, good work there, Reilly.
Copy !req
163. - Dr. Benton.
- What is it, Carter?
Copy !req
164. I can understand if you're upset about
my claiming that aneurysm.
Copy !req
165. But I don't see why
my surgical education should suffer.
Copy !req
166. There's no surgical services.
Back to work.
Copy !req
167. - Who needs help in here?
- Get back to work!
Copy !req
168. Hi, I'm Reilly Brown...
Copy !req
169. - Mark, can I talk to you?
- Yeah, sure. Everything okay?
Copy !req
170. - Yeah, yeah. No big deal.
- Reilly, that's all. You can go now.
Copy !req
171. BP is 120/80.
Copy !req
172. Mr. Wolfe here seems to have put
his hand into a snow blower.
Copy !req
173. Yeah, something was blocking it.
I can't believe I was that stupid.
Copy !req
174. - Lots of people are.
- We've got a pumper.
Copy !req
175. Okay, Lydia, inflate the BP cuff.
Copy !req
176. We have the two fingers.
Copy !req
177. - Mr. Wolfe, are you right-handed?
- Yes.
Copy !req
178. Not anymore, you're not.
Copy !req
179. Haleh said Nathan's waking up.
Copy !req
180. Hey! What are you doing?
Copy !req
181. - Call Security.
- Leave us alone!
Copy !req
182. - No, no, you cannot be here.
- I have to take care of him.
Copy !req
183. - Hey, Carter.
- It's okay, baby. I'll take care of you.
Copy !req
184. Must be the girlfriend.
Copy !req
185. - What exactly do you suspect?
- I'm not quite sure.
Copy !req
186. - But you do have suspicions?
- He's not including any bad outcomes.
Copy !req
187. - And you're certain?
- Yep.
Copy !req
188. - And when you confronted him?
- He said it wasn't true.
Copy !req
189. - But you think it is.
- He explained two...
Copy !req
190. but there are three others.
Copy !req
191. First there were five,
and now there're only three?
Copy !req
192. - Yeah.
- I'd make sure.
Copy !req
193. - I'm going over the charts again.
- Maybe he can explain all of them.
Copy !req
194. He took me off the surgical service.
Copy !req
195. He could have dozens of reasons
to do that.
Copy !req
196. Look, if I was going
to talk to somebody...
Copy !req
197. I mean, officially, who would it be?
Copy !req
198. The dean. But going up
against a guy like Vucelich...
Copy !req
199. He's one of the top cardiovascular
surgeons in the country.
Copy !req
200. What if it comes down
to your word against his?
Copy !req
201. - You don't think I should pursue it?
- If you're wrong, your career's over.
Copy !req
202. - I can't believe you made me eat chili.
- I didn't.
Copy !req
203. Yes, you did.
You held a gun to my head...
Copy !req
204. Watch out!
Copy !req
205. Help! Help! My leg!
Copy !req
206. All right, don't move him.
Copy !req
207. - What's your name?
- Paul.
Copy !req
208. - Just relax. You got it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
209. Lift this bike up. Thanks, Jerry.
Let's just back it up here.
Copy !req
210. - This is a cool bike.
- Kind of heavy.
Copy !req
211. - Please don't tell him I'm here.
- Is someone after you?
Copy !req
212. - He's gonna kill me.
- Who?
Copy !req
213. My father. He won't let me have a
motorcycle. Doesn't think they're safe.
Copy !req
214. I guess you didn't listen to him.
Lie back down.
Copy !req
215. All right. I bought it this morning.
It was great until the throttle stuck.
Copy !req
216. - I couldn't stop it.
- Lie down. Lie down.
Copy !req
217. - Dr. Benton?
- What is it, Carter?
Copy !req
218. Well, I now know you have
the utmost lack of respect for me.
Copy !req
219. You can quit the study,
but you should have told me.
Copy !req
220. - Who told you I quit the study?
- Everybody in the last hour...
Copy !req
221. and I think I had the right to know
before they did.
Copy !req
222. It's more complicated than that, Carter.
I did not quit the study.
Copy !req
223. Right.
Copy !req
224. - I've gotta get rid of the bike!
- Settle down, Paul.
Copy !req
225. I've got the pink slip in my pocket.
Copy !req
226. Maybe somebody here will buy it.
Copy !req
227. It's a little damaged.
How much do you want for it?
Copy !req
228. I'm trying to help him out.
His father is gonna clobber him.
Copy !req
229. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
230. Looks like a fractured fibula.
I can take him from here, Susan.
Copy !req
231. Yeah. "Take him" is right.
Copy !req
232. Okay. See you later.
Copy !req
233. - You don't have to tell my dad, right?
- How old are you?
Copy !req
234. - Seventeen.
- Yeah. Sorry. You're a minor.
Copy !req
235. Maybe he'll be grateful
that you didn't kill yourself.
Copy !req
236. I doubt it.
Copy !req
237. - Miss Boulet?
- Ruby, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
238. I just wanted to thank you again...
Copy !req
239. - ... for all your help.
- You're welcome.
Copy !req
240. And to let you know my sweetheart
passed away yesterday.
Copy !req
241. Oh, Ruby. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
242. - How are you doing?
- Okay.
Copy !req
243. Not great.
Copy !req
244. I knew it was gonna happen...
Copy !req
245. but I guess you really never believe it
until it does.
Copy !req
246. Anyway, the services are
this afternoon at 4:00...
Copy !req
247. at the Mount Sinai Cemetery,
you know, off Grand.
Copy !req
248. I know you're busy,
but if you'd like to come, it's okay.
Copy !req
249. Thank you, Ruby.
I would like to come.
Copy !req
250. Okay, then. I'll see you later.
Copy !req
251. I'll see you later.
Copy !req
252. - Carter.
- Nathan's back asleep...
Copy !req
253. having puked three more times.
Angel's awake, weepy and full of regret.
Copy !req
254. "Never gonna drink another drop," she
says. Great couple of SHPOS, these two.
Copy !req
255. - What did you just say?
- SHPOS. It means subhuman—
Copy !req
256. No, I know what it means, thank you.
Copy !req
257. I've gotta get these x-rays
to the O.R.
Copy !req
258. Carter's been hanging around
Benton too much.
Copy !req
259. Haven't we all.
Copy !req
260. Bad day at Black Rock. Multiple
7- year-olds on their way in. Animal bites.
Copy !req
261. - A petting zoo run amuck.
- Happy birthday, dear Doug.
Copy !req
262. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
263. - How's Ruby? Mr. Rubadoux.
- He's hanging in.
Copy !req
264. His wife died yesterday.
Copy !req
265. The service is at 4:00 today, Mount
Sinai. Do you want to go with me?
Copy !req
266. I don't think I can make it.
I'm pretty jammed up today.
Copy !req
267. These elevators take forever.
I'm gonna take the stairs.
Copy !req
268. - How long have you had that cough?
- I don't know. A while.
Copy !req
269. Your chest x-rays will show us more.
Copy !req
270. - Do they show everything?
- Why?
Copy !req
271. - Maybe they'll show I have AIDS.
- Do you?
Copy !req
272. Yeah. Look, you don't have to
tell Nathan about me, right?
Copy !req
273. Have you been sick with anything else?
Fevers, rashes, night sweats?
Copy !req
274. No. Just the cough.
Copy !req
275. Okay, get a CBC, ABG, Chem-20...
Copy !req
276. a UA, hepatitis titers,
place a PPD and get a CD-4.
Copy !req
277. You might have pneumonia...
Copy !req
278. so I'm gonna keep you here for a while
and run some tests.
Copy !req
279. Look, you don't have to tell
Nathan about me. Right?
Copy !req
280. It's against the law
for me to tell him. You should.
Copy !req
281. He has a right to know.
Copy !req
282. And if he's sick, he should be getting
treatment, and so should you.
Copy !req
283. I just think he might get mad at me,
you know?
Copy !req
284. And he might want to take off
or something, and he's all I have.
Copy !req
285. - Can you make that out to "cash"?
- You got a deal.
Copy !req
286. - You got robbed.
- I'm doing this as a favor.
Copy !req
287. You still have to explain
what happened to your leg.
Copy !req
288. - Oh, God.
- Tell your dad...
Copy !req
289. you were hitchhiking
and got picked up by a motorcycle...
Copy !req
290. - ... and bam!
- Mark!
Copy !req
291. He hates hitchhiking too,
but at least I'll only be grounded.
Copy !req
292. Watch out for the throttle.
Copy !req
293. - So I got lucky.
- In more ways than one, I hear.
Copy !req
294. - What?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
295. Lydia, what did you hear?
Copy !req
296. - Do you have pain anywhere else?
- Only in my stomach.
Copy !req
297. Okay, okay. Sit back.
Copy !req
298. What have you got?
Copy !req
299. T- Ball, is that you?
I haven't seen you in a while.
Copy !req
300. My stomach hurts for real.
Copy !req
301. It does! I ain't lying to you.
Copy !req
302. Yep. Jeanie.
Copy !req
303. I can't remember his real name, but
he's under T-Ball in the turkey file.
Copy !req
304. - Frequent flyer. Drug seeking.
- Are you sure? He seems to be in pain.
Copy !req
305. You'll get used to them. They'll do
anything for Valium, Percodan, Demerol.
Copy !req
306. Let him moan and groan for an hour.
He'll get bored, go somewhere else.
Copy !req
307. Carter! I asked you to wake
Nathan Conley up every 15 minutes.
Copy !req
308. - I had something to do.
- You had that, and you didn't do it.
Copy !req
309. - Okay, I'm sorry.
- I want chest films on him.
Copy !req
310. Jerry, I need you to call Social Services.
Copy !req
311. I've got an AIDS patient
who needs placement.
Copy !req
312. - This thing's still here?
- It belongs to Dr. Greene now.
Copy !req
313. Mark bought a motorcycle?
Copy !req
314. Got it cheap.
There's only one helmet.
Copy !req
315. - You're gonna have to get your own.
- What?
Copy !req
316. When spring comes, you guys'll be riding
in on this instead of the EI. I would.
Copy !req
317. - What are you talking about?
- You and Dr. Greene.
Copy !req
318. - I think you make a great couple.
- Excuse me.
Copy !req
319. - I'm looking for Dr. Douglas Ross.
- He's with a patient right now.
Copy !req
320. Can I tell him who's here?
Copy !req
321. - Now, you, over there.
- I want to sit by Joseph.
Copy !req
322. - I don't want her near me!
- Bet you can't wait to have that baby.
Copy !req
323. The baby part's fine.
It's when they get to this age...
Copy !req
324. Hey, you know what, guys? Nurse
Hathaway, will you give us a hand?
Copy !req
325. - I want to sit by Joseph.
- Get her away from me!
Copy !req
326. I didn't even want you
to come to my birthday party.
Copy !req
327. You're gonna sit over here.
Copy !req
328. - Dr. Ross?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
329. A guy at the desk wants to see you.
Copy !req
330. - Who is it?
- Said you'd know him.
Copy !req
331. Surprise for your birthday.
Copy !req
332. Doug?
Copy !req
333. Who is it?
Copy !req
334. My father.
Copy !req
335. Carol, I looked up
T- Ball's card in the file.
Copy !req
336. He's always claimed back pain.
This time it's his stomach.
Copy !req
337. - Guess he's branching out.
- Maybe...
Copy !req
338. but I ran some additional blood tests,
just in case.
Copy !req
339. First my parents wouldn't let me
have one...
Copy !req
340. and then after med school,
my wife wouldn't let me.
Copy !req
341. Got a good one here.
Copy !req
342. - You know about motorcycles?
- Five brothers. Had them in the yard.
Copy !req
343. You better get a lock and chain.
E- Ray got his stolen.
Copy !req
344. - Keep it in your apartment.
- Third floor, no elevator.
Copy !req
345. Susan could keep it in her place.
Copy !req
346. - I'm looking for Carter.
- I haven't seen him.
Copy !req
347. - Have you seen Carter?
- Is he missing again?
Copy !req
348. It looks like Angel's got pneumocystis.
I asked him to order a bronchoscopy.
Copy !req
349. Angel?
Copy !req
350. Oh, man,
I was afraid this would happen.
Copy !req
351. I had a feeling she was gonna leave.
That girl was too scared.
Copy !req
352. - If you need to help, I can wait.
- I'm a pediatrician.
Copy !req
353. - You've got a damn exciting job here.
- Only if you're unlucky...
Copy !req
354. which I happen to be today.
Copy !req
355. - Don't they need this?
- They've got plenty of those inside.
Copy !req
356. Come on. Come on out, Doug.
Come on, Dougy. Come on.
Copy !req
357. My name isn't Dougy anymore.
Copy !req
358. Is that why you came here?
To play ball with your boy?
Copy !req
359. - Not with this. If this was basketball...
- We don't have one.
Copy !req
360. Remember when you were a kid,
I used to put you on my shoulders...
Copy !req
361. and you'd slam-dunk.
"Two points, two points!" you'd scream.
Copy !req
362. - How's your mother?
- She's fine. She's happy.
Copy !req
363. - She deserves it.
- I'll tell her you said so.
Copy !req
364. No, you won't.
Copy !req
365. You wouldn't even tell her you saw me.
Afraid it will upset her.
Copy !req
366. Then she'll get all melancholy.
Copy !req
367. People never gave her enough credit.
She's a strong woman.
Copy !req
368. She kind of had to be, didn't she?
Copy !req
369. - She walked out on me once.
- Compared to the 12 you walked out.
Copy !req
370. - You mean walked out on you?
- What are you doing here?
Copy !req
371. What do you want from me?
Copy !req
372. I don't want anything from you.
Copy !req
373. You're all over the airwaves. You're
a big hero. I was pretty proud of you.
Copy !req
374. - I do have regrets.
- I've gotta go to work.
Copy !req
375. Yeah.
Copy !req
376. Doug.
Copy !req
377. Happy birthday, son.
Copy !req
378. - I'm turned around. Is the El this way?
- It's that way.
Copy !req
379. - Dr. Vucelich?
- Mr. Carter.
Copy !req
380. - You look winded.
- Yeah, I was hurrying. Dr. Vucelich...
Copy !req
381. I know Dr. Benton left the study,
and I wanted to say...
Copy !req
382. that I've learned more under you
than in four years of medical school.
Copy !req
383. And I'd very much like to
continue on the team.
Copy !req
384. There's initiative, wouldn't you say?
Copy !req
385. For better or worse, there seems to be a
plethora of students on the team now.
Copy !req
386. I can't see that I would have anything
of substance for you to do...
Copy !req
387. since you're way beyond scut work.
Copy !req
388. Best of luck.
Copy !req
389. Excuse me.
Copy !req
390. - Did you ask him to take an AIDS test?
- He says it gives him the creeps.
Copy !req
391. Bilateral perihilar right there.
He needs to know Angel has AIDS...
Copy !req
392. so he might have it too.
Copy !req
393. You can't tell him. The law protects her.
Copy !req
394. - I could if they were married.
- And they're not.
Copy !req
395. Who's protecting Nathan and
all the women he might have sex with?
Copy !req
396. Ethically, I agree with you.
Copy !req
397. - The law is the law, right?
- Even if it's not right.
Copy !req
398. Hey, T-Ball. Are you giving up?
Copy !req
399. CBC showed microcytic anemia.
Blood smear showed red-cell stippling.
Copy !req
400. Get a blood lead level,
80 micrograms per deciliter.
Copy !req
401. Erythrocyte protoporphyrin,
lead poisoning.
Copy !req
402. I was sleeping in that building. I didn't
care they was fixing up during the day.
Copy !req
403. - Dust from the renovations.
- Full of lead.
Copy !req
404. Didn't think I needed validation on this.
I called Medicine. They're admitting him.
Copy !req
405. Have you seen Doug?
I've got that birthday boy in 1.
Copy !req
406. The Ilama bite?
He's out talking to his dad.
Copy !req
407. Probably he'll never come back.
Copy !req
408. - Have you seen Benton?
- He wants you to check some patients.
Copy !req
409. I can't right now.
Copy !req
410. There's an arm lac in 6,
rule-out appendicitis in 3...
Copy !req
411. and Dr. Lewis wants to
talk about Angel. She split AMA.
Copy !req
412. I can't deal with those right now, Jerry.
Copy !req
413. Oh, man.
Copy !req
414. - What the hell are you doing?
- They're wine coolers.
Copy !req
415. They're really good.
You want some of mine?
Copy !req
416. - I fell.
- You fell?
Copy !req
417. Couldn't be because you're drunk?
Copy !req
418. Hey, man, you leave her alone.
There's nothing wrong with her.
Copy !req
419. - Get up!
- Nathan, make him stop.
Copy !req
420. You're the ones that won't stop.
You're sick, and you get drunk.
Copy !req
421. - You both rip out your IVs.
- That's enough.
Copy !req
422. - What's the matter with you?
- Look what you did.
Copy !req
423. Look what I did? Look what I did?
Copy !req
424. Carter, out of here. Out of here, now!
Copy !req
425. Okay, you. Back in bed.
Haleh, help Angel out of here.
Copy !req
426. Come on, back in bed. Now!
Copy !req
427. - So, what's going on?
- You saw.
Copy !req
428. No, not with them, with you.
Copy !req
429. These people come in here
on drugs and booze.
Copy !req
430. They don't listen to us,
and we're supposed to treat them.
Copy !req
431. - We're supposed to treat them.
- What good is it?
Copy !req
432. Tomorrow they're back on the street
doing the same thing.
Copy !req
433. The day after that
they're gonna be back in here.
Copy !req
434. That's the job.
If you don't like them needy—
Copy !req
435. I don't like the abuse.
Copy !req
436. - None of us do.
- You're used to it with your sister.
Copy !req
437. When you first got here,
we were a little concerned about you.
Copy !req
438. You seemed to care too much.
We're not worried about that anymore.
Copy !req
439. What happened to you, Carter?
Copy !req
440. - Loretta.
- Hi, Dr. Greene.
Copy !req
441. How have you been?
We've been looking for you.
Copy !req
442. - Jimmy was dying to see The Lion King.
- No, I wasn't.
Copy !req
443. How about some ice cream?
I was just going on a break.
Copy !req
444. - It's a little cold for ice cream.
- Hot chocolate?
Copy !req
445. - I couldn't hear you.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
446. - We need to talk.
- Exam 1?
Copy !req
447. - Could you take Loretta to Exam 1?
- Sure.
Copy !req
448. Thanks.
Copy !req
449. - How did he do it?
- Playing soccer.
Copy !req
450. - I thought you said he was 60.
- With his grandchildren.
Copy !req
451. - That's a large joint effusion.
- I'll do an arthrocentesis.
Copy !req
452. Tell him to stick to the sidelines.
Copy !req
453. - Do you have another minute?
- Certainly.
Copy !req
454. Dr. Vucelich is telling people
that I left the study.
Copy !req
455. - I wasn't sure you'd want to talk.
- I didn't exactly leave.
Copy !req
456. Carl's very discreet.
Copy !req
457. He didn't think it would look good
that he had to fire his star pupil.
Copy !req
458. Is that what he said?
Copy !req
459. I believe the euphemism was, "We're
experiencing a difference in style."
Copy !req
460. I'd have just fired you.
Copy !req
461. Our differences had to do with the data,
who's left in and who's left out.
Copy !req
462. That's a matter of interpretation.
Copy !req
463. It's his research study.
He did get the grant...
Copy !req
464. on the strength of his reputation
and accomplishments.
Copy !req
465. Do you know how much money
he brings into this hospital?
Copy !req
466. If you've had a disagreement
with Vucelich...
Copy !req
467. I suggest you retreat immediately
and apologize.
Copy !req
468. It wasn't a disagreement.
Copy !req
469. Peter, you have the arrogance
of a great surgeon, the ego...
Copy !req
470. and someday, one hopes, the talent.
Copy !req
471. But what you don't have is the ability to
get along, to be a member of the team.
Copy !req
472. Once you're a Carl Vucelich,
you don't need that...
Copy !req
473. but you can't be
a Carl Vucelich without it.
Copy !req
474. Here you go, Joseph.
I'll give your dad another call.
Copy !req
475. Mark, you got a minute?
Copy !req
476. - Someone check out that bite?
- It's okay...
Copy !req
477. but he needs someone to talk to. His
dad should have been here hours ago.
Copy !req
478. Sure, in a few minutes.
Copy !req
479. Please, sit down.
I have some difficult news.
Copy !req
480. Yeah, I've been tired, but what
do you expect from an old hooker?
Copy !req
481. New job's going great, kids are doing
well at school, everything is good.
Copy !req
482. Your biopsy last time was positive
for cervical cancer.
Copy !req
483. It's stage 1- B, which is relatively
early in the spread of the disease...
Copy !req
484. although that can only
be confirmed through surgery.
Copy !req
485. Treatment is radical hysterectomy.
Copy !req
486. The removal of the uterus and cervix.
Copy !req
487. Sometimes radiation therapy is done.
Copy !req
488. Statistics show that with treatment...
Copy !req
489. the five-year survival rate
is over 90%%%.
Copy !req
490. Five years.
Copy !req
491. My kids won't even be teenagers.
Copy !req
492. Mr. Rubadoux...
Copy !req
493. I'm very sorry about your wife.
Copy !req
494. I made a mistake.
Copy !req
495. Not in the way I treated her,
but in the way I treated you.
Copy !req
496. I wasn't honest. I wasn't fair.
Copy !req
497. I was wrong.
Copy !req
498. And I'm very, very sorry.
Copy !req
499. This day isn't about you, Mr. Carter.
Copy !req
500. - How's Angel?
- She's still asleep.
Copy !req
501. - Are you kicking us out now?
- Not quite yet.
Copy !req
502. Oh, God,
I've gotta stop this, you know?
Copy !req
503. Angel's better at it.
Copy !req
504. She can stop drinking for a while,
you know...
Copy !req
505. but then I just drag her right back in.
Copy !req
506. I don't know why she stays.
Copy !req
507. Nathan, there's something
that Angel's scared to tell you...
Copy !req
508. but it's something that I think you
have a right to know. She has AIDS.
Copy !req
509. She has AIDS?
You mean the whole thing?
Copy !req
510. Yes, which means you could have it too.
Copy !req
511. Have you ever been tested?
Copy !req
512. Could I have given it to her,
or could she have given it to me?
Copy !req
513. If you test positive,
there's no way to know.
Copy !req
514. - Loretta needs a little time.
- Is she going to have surgery?
Copy !req
515. Yeah. She's just worried who's
gonna take her kids for five days.
Copy !req
516. Al and I can take them.
Copy !req
517. He thinks after we get married
we should adopt three or four.
Copy !req
518. This'll get him off that kick.
Copy !req
519. - Where have you been?
- The longest walk ever, and I'm freezing.
Copy !req
520. - Start the margaritas in an hour.
- Mark, thank you...
Copy !req
521. and thank Susan,
but I'm gonna have to pass.
Copy !req
522. - Things went that well with your dad?
- No, that was fine.
Copy !req
523. Same old thing. He just wanted
to borrow 100 bucks.
Copy !req
524. - Llama birthday boy is still here.
- What?
Copy !req
525. The bite's been treated,
but his father is running late.
Copy !req
526. Joseph? How's the arm?
Copy !req
527. Did you know that you are my first
Ilama bite in my entire pediatric career?
Copy !req
528. Which makes this a special day. Also
because it happens to be my birthday.
Copy !req
529. - I hate my birthday.
- Yeah, me too.
Copy !req
530. - My dad's always late.
- So is mine.
Copy !req
531. He gave me a trip to the zoo,
and then he didn't even come.
Copy !req
532. - What did you get?
- I got a card.
Copy !req
533. And I got two tickets
to the Bulls game.
Copy !req
534. All right, get this. There are brownies
in the refrigerator in the lounge.
Copy !req
535. They are not birthday cake,
and they are not mine.
Copy !req
536. But I think we should steal them. Yeah?
Copy !req
537. - Yep.
- Yep.
Copy !req
538. Peter, I'm sorry
we couldn't meet in my office.
Copy !req
539. I can't get rid of the endarterectomy
team from Philadelphia.
Copy !req
540. I went over the charts again.
All of them.
Copy !req
541. I can see spending a day thinking about
this hasn't helped, so stop right here.
Copy !req
542. - Agree to disagree, and move on.
- Apparently I already have.
Copy !req
543. I didn't fire you.
I just let people know that you quit.
Copy !req
544. Which I hadn't.
Copy !req
545. I felt you needed help
making that decision.
Copy !req
546. I don't understand.
At least three of those patients...
Copy !req
547. should not have been excluded
from the study.
Copy !req
548. - I determine who's in and who's out.
- I thought the protocol determined that.
Copy !req
549. If you're manipulating the data,
how can the study be valid?
Copy !req
550. How dare you question me?
Copy !req
551. You get the opportunity of a lifetime...
Copy !req
552. and you have the temerity
to challenge my reputation.
Copy !req
553. The results won't be accurate.
Aren't lives at stake here?
Copy !req
554. Yes, Peter, lives are at stake.
Lives that I save.
Copy !req
555. Mothers, fathers, grandparents
are living because I made choices.
Copy !req
556. I risked everything
to do what I know is right.
Copy !req
557. - The rules are there for a reason.
- Grow up, Peter.
Copy !req
558. You're no junior chemist at the FDA.
Copy !req
559. You're a surgical Resident
in a struggling county hospital.
Copy !req
560. How do you think money
comes into this place?
Copy !req
561. It takes more than "please"
and "I promise to do what's right."
Copy !req
562. It takes results. And that, at any cost,
is what I produce.
Copy !req
563. Now, you screw with that...
Copy !req
564. and you will be off surgical service
for a hell of a lot longer than one day.
Copy !req
565. Boy, when they made you stupid,
they made you really stupid.
Copy !req
566. That's the only funny thing
I've heard all day.
Copy !req
567. I'm gonna die, and you're gonna tell me
I should give these up?
Copy !req
568. The cold's doing more damage.
You do have pneumonia.
Copy !req
569. Maybe quicker is better.
Copy !req
570. I told Nathan.
Copy !req
571. I know it's illegal, but I did it anyway.
He's really worried about you.
Copy !req
572. He's worried that maybe
he gave it to you.
Copy !req
573. He wants to go through this together.
Copy !req
574. Yeah, sure. If he has it.
Copy !req
575. But if...
If he's clean, and I'm sick...
Copy !req
576. - ... why's he gonna wanna stick around?
- Which option are you hoping for?
Copy !req
577. It's cold out here.
Copy !req
578. I'm gonna go inside.
Copy !req
579. Sorry about this.
The dean's staff meetings...
Copy !req
580. usually don't take this long.
Copy !req
581. It's okay.
Copy !req
582. - Does the dean know what it's about?
- No, he doesn't.
Copy !req
583. Yes?
Copy !req
584. Of course.
Copy !req
585. It'll just be another minute or two.
Copy !req
586. I don't know. I just think
I've turned into a cliché.
Copy !req
587. Don't do this, Mark.
Copy !req
588. I've got that "guy about to be divorced"
look all over me.
Copy !req
589. Here I am in a very attractive
single woman's apartment...
Copy !req
590. drinking like
I'm still in my 20s...
Copy !req
591. with a brand-new, used motorcycle.
Copy !req
592. - You are a guy about to be divorced.
- But I don't have to act like one.
Copy !req
593. Here, try this.
Copy !req
594. Not as good as the first,
better than the second.
Copy !req
595. Does it matter? People at work are
making up stories about you anyway.
Copy !req
596. About us, you mean.
Copy !req
597. Yeah. And what is that, can I ask you?
Copy !req
598. My car's in the shop.
I drop Susie off at my parents'.
Copy !req
599. Meet up with you
to go tequila shopping...
Copy !req
600. and all of a sudden,
we're having a torrid affair.
Copy !req
601. Who said it was torrid?
Copy !req
602. No one.
I'm just assuming it would be.
Copy !req
603. - That's not what I meant.
- That's okay. I know what you meant.
Copy !req
604. I'm sure it would be too.
Copy !req
605. Why wouldn't it be?
Copy !req
606. No reason at all.
Copy !req
607. There's not enough lime in this.
Copy !req
608. - Hey, bro.
- What's up, Walt?
Copy !req
609. Same old thing.
Copy !req
610. What happened? You look like
you lost your tenth patient.
Copy !req
611. I don't know, man.
Copy !req
612. I don't know.
Copy !req
613. - I'm off the study I told you about.
- I thought the main man loved you.
Copy !req
614. Yeah, well, he was breaking some rules,
and I called him on it.
Copy !req
615. - Were you right?
- I just thought it'd be different.
Copy !req
616. The work we were doing,
where I was going...
Copy !req
617. - Different from what?
- From everything that got me here.
Copy !req
618. Scratching my way through med school.
Playing this game and that game.
Copy !req
619. You angle for the best Residency
no matter what.
Copy !req
620. You did what you had to do.
Copy !req
621. - What we all have to do every day.
- Why do we keep on doing it?
Copy !req
622. That's up to you. The world doesn't
change because you're moving up in it.
Copy !req
623. I went to the dean to tell him
what was going on.
Copy !req
624. And I waited around for 20 minutes,
and I left.
Copy !req
625. I just left.
Copy !req
626. I'm stupid enough to ruin my career,
but I don't even have the...
Copy !req
627. courage to do it the right way.
Copy !req
628. You don't understand, Walt.
Copy !req
629. I always thought when the time came...
Copy !req
630. I'd do the right thing.
Copy !req
