She may have been raped.Copy !req
5. I'd be lucky to find someone like you.Copy !req
6. - You neglected your duties.
- You feel that way, speak to me.Copy !req
7. You feel Dr. Benton's reaction
was inappropriate?Copy !req
8. I wouldn't call it inappropriate.Copy !req
9. Administration's making me
fire two nurses.Copy !req
10. I didn't think you'd go to Anspaugh.Copy !req
11. - I'm sorry.

13. Suicide?Copy !req
14. - Dennis?

17. "Post Mortem"Copy !req
18. What happened?
I guess that's the question.Copy !req
19. How could this awful,
senseless thing happen?Copy !req
20. I've seen traumas from plenty of
accidents since I started my training.Copy !req
21. But this was someone I knew.Copy !req
22. - But you're convinced it was an accident?
- I guess.Copy !req
23. Have the police...?Copy !req
24. I don't think they've come
to any conclusions.Copy !req
25. Either he lost his balance
and fell under the tracks...Copy !req
26. or he jumped.Copy !req
27. I understand that you and Dr. Gant
were friends? Roommates?Copy !req
28. Well, we hadn't seen much
of each other for the last...Copy !req
29. month.Copy !req
30. I was seeing somebody,
and I was staying...Copy !req
31. over at her place a lot.Copy !req
32. Obviously, the hospital is interested
in finding out if anything...Copy !req
33. could have been done
to prevent this tragedy.Copy !req
34. You mean if it were a suicide?Copy !req
35. We're both aware of the complaint
about Dr. Benton Dennis lodged...Copy !req
36. on the day of his death.Copy !req
37. In your judgment...Copy !req
38. was this day unique
in Dr. Gant's experience...Copy !req
39. or had he frequently felt
he was treated unfairly?Copy !req
40. We both complained.Copy !req
41. About the hours, the Residents...Copy !req
42. if anyone or anything
put undue pressure on Dr. Gant.Copy !req
43. A policy, a teaching method,
anything...Copy !req
44. that seems, in retrospect,
too harsh.Copy !req
45. I'll have to think about that.Copy !req
46. Dr. Gant's father is arriving
this afternoon...Copy !req
47. to collect his things
and bring the body back home to...Copy !req
48. Atlanta.Copy !req
49. I hope you'll be able to accompany
Mr. Gant to the apartment.Copy !req
50. Oh, my God, John.
I couldn't believe it.Copy !req
51. What a shocker.
Think he pulled a Cobain?Copy !req
52. Dale.Copy !req
53. Well, if they do rule it a suicide,
maybe we'll get some shorter hours.Copy !req
54. Dennis said something at Christmas
about his girlfriend...Copy !req
55. but if he were depressed,
you would've noticed, right?Copy !req
56. Yeah, I would've.Copy !req
57. It's the ER.Copy !req
58. - I thought you had the ER yesterday.

59. - I need 8 units of O-neg.

61. Get ready for the next guest.
Set up the rapid infuser.Copy !req
62. - Benton coming down?
- I don't know. Haven't seen him yet.Copy !req
63. I was sorry to hear about Dennis.
Got any more news?Copy !req
64. Not yet.Copy !req
65. We'll take the chest wound in 2, we'll
handle the extremity wound right here.Copy !req
66. Got it.Copy !req
67. Respiratory's alerted.
I'll set up a vent.Copy !req
68. I'll spike you up
a couple liters of saline.Copy !req

about the memorial service?Copy !req
81. Yeah. Yeah, I did.Copy !req
82. I was wondering if you
would or could say a few words.Copy !req
83. Are you talking about the memorial?Copy !req
84. - It's 5:00 in the chapel, right?
- I still can't believe it.Copy !req
85. Me neither.Copy !req

- Here.Copy !req
129. Man, you are spoiling me,
you know that?Copy !req
130. - Something wrong?
- Oh, you know. All this union stuff.Copy !req
131. It's gonna be a weird day
for the nurses.Copy !req
132. - So is this sickout gonna happen?
- Yeah, I think so.Copy !req
133. - Does it bother you that I told you?
- Of course not.Copy !req
134. We're still on for tonight?
Movie, dinner?Copy !req
135. It's a date.Copy !req

- Yeah, let's go.Copy !req
149. All right. Let's go.Copy !req
150. - You do the body, I'll do the room?
- Sure.Copy !req
151. I'm a little short-handed
this afternoon.Copy !req
152. A lot of my nurses are
calling in sick.Copy !req
153. Is there any way you could
pull a double?Copy !req
154. Sorry.Copy !req
155. Carol, can you give us a hand in here?Copy !req
156. Go on. I'll get this.Copy !req
157. The memorial service is gonna be
in the hospital chapel.Copy !req
158. You wouldn't need to say much.
Just-Copy !req
159. Forget it. I'm no public speaker.Copy !req
160. There's still no official ruling
on the cause of death.Copy !req
161. Dr. Anspaugh says the police
are still talking to witnesses.Copy !req
162. - Maybe they'll turn up something.
- When did you speak to Anspaugh?Copy !req
163. This morning. He called in the interns.Copy !req
164. - Why?
- Why? To see how we're doing.Copy !req
165. - To see what we think happened.
- Were there any interns on the platform?Copy !req
166. I think he was wondering about Gant's
state of mind these last couple weeks.Copy !req
167. Did he call you guys in
one at a time or all together?Copy !req
168. One at a time.
Hasn't Anspaugh talked to you yet?Copy !req
169. I'm supposed to go talk to him.
I guess he needs to do a survey first.Copy !req
170. - GSW to the abdomen. Who's on call?
- Dr. Hicks.Copy !req
171. I don't think anybody's blaming you.Copy !req
172. Why would they? Did you finish
your rounds this morning?Copy !req
173. - Not yet.
- Get to it. I can finish this myself.Copy !req
174. INTERN EVALUATION FORM
DENNIS GANTCopy !req
175. She'll stay on a 72-hour hold while
we finish her psychiatric evaluation.Copy !req
176. - Steer clear. You're too entangled.
- I'm her doctor.Copy !req
177. And her guardian angel,
and the guy who let her down.Copy !req
178. - Is she pissed?
- At you? Yeah, sure.Copy !req
179. You told her you wouldn't sell her
into the system, and you did.Copy !req
180. But betrayal isn't
anything new to her.Copy !req
181. She's a 14-year-old on the streets.Copy !req
182. You don't have to explain it to me.
Or to her.Copy !req
183. Another doc could follow up
on her neuro exam.Copy !req
184. You knew I'd be back.Copy !req
185. She's a kid you helped, who hates
your guts. You want to change that.Copy !req
186. What's Charlie's prognosis?Copy !req
187. She's got issues, but I won't
recommend a psychiatric placement.Copy !req
188. DCFS will take over from here.Copy !req
189. But it wouldn't be a problem
for her if I see her?Copy !req
190. Charlie's armor is in good shape.
How's yours?Copy !req
191. - What are you doing this afternoon?
- Lydia and I are hitting the January sales.Copy !req
192. I'm not spending a penny
until our contract is settled.Copy !req
193. It'll settle. Nothing like
a case of the pink flu to make a point.Copy !req
194. - I've never been on a strike.
- I hope you never will be.Copy !req
195. This is just a sickout.
The pink flu.Copy !req
196. - Close your ears, E-Ray.
- I'm a union man.Copy !req
197. One shift without RNs will make them
think twice about cutting overtime.Copy !req
198. - I'm worried about the patients.
- We all are.Copy !req
199. That's why we won't accept a contract
that compromises patient care.Copy !req
200. - Or screws us.
- That too.Copy !req
201. Could you help me
with this damn coffeemaker?Copy !req
202. See? What would they do
without us RNs?Copy !req
203. You should be taking tea
and lemon for that cold.Copy !req
204. Oh, boy. I hate to see her fall.Copy !req
205. I tried to warn her.Copy !req
206. Oh, Dr. Greene's a nice guy.Copy !req
207. Dr. Greene's a doctor, on the rebound.Copy !req
208. How many nurse/doctor flings
have you known?Copy !req
209. Including my own?Copy !req
210. And how many of them worked out?Copy !req
211. The problem is, she's got a grand trine
in fire, and his sun is in Pisces.Copy !req
212. Labs are back from Curtain 3.Copy !req
213. They're mine.Copy !req
214. Haleh, can you pull a double?Copy !req
215. - When?
- Today.Copy !req
216. - My entire p. m. shift called in sick.
- I heard something was going around.Copy !req
217. Something's going around.
Can you stay?Copy !req
218. I'm sorry.
I'm coming down with it myself.Copy !req
219. Hey, Charlie.Copy !req
220. I just want to check
on your concussion.Copy !req
221. It's only gonna take a second.Copy !req
222. Come here. Sit around.Copy !req
223. Come on. Let's go.Copy !req
224. Sit up.
I want you to look into the light.Copy !req
225. Okay? Come here.Copy !req
226. Follow this just with your eyes,
not your head.Copy !req
227. Look at that.
The swelling went down.Copy !req
228. Follow the light with your eyes,
not your head.Copy !req
229. How's your head? Any confusion?Copy !req
230. What year is it?Copy !req
231. December '95, according to
this hot magazine you gave me.Copy !req
232. Did you know Michael and Lisa Marie
are splitting up?Copy !req
233. What was I supposed to do?
Let you go back out on the street?Copy !req
234. Like I haven't been beaten worse
when I lived at home.Copy !req
235. - You having any trouble seeing?
- No.Copy !req
236. I get these little blobs.Copy !req
237. What kind of blobs?Copy !req
238. - Open your eye.
- Dark spots floating around.Copy !req
239. Any flashes of light?Copy !req
240. Sometimes when you get
a blow to the head...Copy !req
241. there's retinal detachment.
An ophthalmologist will look at it.Copy !req
242. In the meantime, lay back down, okay?Copy !req
243. Just when I thought things
couldn't get any more boring.Copy !req
244. If I go blind, can they still
send me to the nut house?Copy !req
245. - That's not where you're going.
- Oh, good. Then just to jail.Copy !req
246. You're going somewhere
so you'll be safe.Copy !req
247. I should've lied...Copy !req
248. and said I wasn't raped.Copy !req
249. That's why you locked me up.Copy !req
250. You're on a hold...Copy !req
251. for your own good.Copy !req
252. Like it was my fault.Copy !req
253. I should've just said it was sex.Copy !req
254. It's not like there's much
of a difference.Copy !req
255. Like any of it matters.Copy !req
256. Don't let them put me in a home.Copy !req
257. I won't.Copy !req
258. Nobody's gonna hurt you.Copy !req
259. Please.Copy !req
260. - Guess.
- No more roses!Copy !req
261. I mean, I love the roses.
They were beautiful.Copy !req
262. It's not roses.Copy !req
263. It's a beauty.
This thing must've cost you.Copy !req
264. Try it on.
You're gonna need it come spring.Copy !req
265. I thought we could go
to the Upper Peninsula.Copy !req
266. It's only January.Copy !req
267. What makes you think
we can't plan ahead?Copy !req
268. My last 10 relationships.Copy !req
269. Nurse's Admin is coming down
to discuss-Copy !req
270. - What are you rebelling against?
- What have you got?Copy !req
271. Weaver, without a chart,
in Curtain 3.Copy !req
272. I got distracted. All his fault.Copy !req
273. Does Admin want to discuss
our situation?Copy !req
274. You mean the nurses' sickout?Copy !req
275. - Chuny.
- That's what it is.Copy !req
276. - Would you stay and help me out?
- The nurses have to stick together.Copy !req
277. - I'm a nurse.
- And a manager.Copy !req
278. Don't ask me to break ranks.
It's too hard to say no to you.Copy !req
279. - She's great.
- Yeah.Copy !req
280. Heard from Susan?Copy !req
281. If you think I'm just reacting to Susan
leaving, you're completely wrong.Copy !req
282. I'm completely wrong.Copy !req
283. Picked this guy up at the
airport shuttle. He's diaphoretic.Copy !req
284. Temp's 103. BP's 70/50.Copy !req
285. Vomited three times en route.
Diarrhea too.Copy !req
286. - You don't want to go near my rig.
- Find Dr. Greene.Copy !req
287. Okay, on my count.Copy !req
288. One, two, three.Copy !req
289. - One liter of saline.
- Pulse ox is 98 percent on 5 liters.Copy !req
290. Temp's 103.6.Copy !req
291. Five of Compazine and
Tylenol, 10-grain suppository.Copy !req
292. Mix a dopamine drip.Copy !req
293. - What do you got?
- He was picked up at the airport.Copy !req
294. - Departing or arriving?
- Here. Let me check.Copy !req
295. Cap refill's poor.Copy !req
296. Let's get a CBC, Chem-7,
urine C & S, chest film.Copy !req
297. According to his ticket,
Mr. Hecht just flew in from Paris.Copy !req
298. His original point of departure
was Libreville.Copy !req
299. - Where's that?
- Gabon, West Africa.Copy !req
300. Everybody get masks on.Copy !req
301. I'll mask the patient.
What are you thinking?Copy !req
302. I'd like to get a consult
from Infectious Disease.Copy !req
303. Isn't Gabon one of the places
they found the Ebola virus?Copy !req
304. Let's set up an isolation room.
Keep caregivers down to a minimum.Copy !req
305. I'll stay with Mr. Hecht.
I started the case.Copy !req
306. How'd it go?
Best man pull through?Copy !req
307. Lost his spleen.Copy !req
308. I finished my rounds. Did you want me
to take Dennis' patients too?Copy !req
309. No. I'll do them.Copy !req
310. You know, I bumped
into Dr. Morgenstern.Copy !req
311. He told me the police have ruled
Dennis' death an accident.Copy !req
312. - Is that what you think it was?
- It's easier for everyone-Copy !req
313. For his family.Copy !req
314. Easier on everyone.
But that doesn't mean it's true.Copy !req
315. Why do you care what I think?Copy !req
316. Because you and I knew Dennis
better than anybody here.Copy !req
317. I'm not your friend Keaton. If she was
here, she'd hash over this thing with you.Copy !req
318. But you know that's not me.Copy !req
319. Peter?Copy !req
320. There you are.
When it rains, it pours.Copy !req
321. Dissecting aneurysm coming down
from ICU. Care to join me?Copy !req
322. I'd love to.Copy !req
323. Have you finished your rounds?Copy !req
324. - Yes, I have.
- He's covering the ER.Copy !req
325. That shouldn't stop you from joining us.
If you get paged, you can leave.Copy !req
326. I'll tell you how to do your job,
and we'll see how you take it.Copy !req
327. Charlie's not gonna do well in an
institution. Norm agrees with me.Copy !req
328. What I said was,
if she gets a chance...Copy !req
329. she'll probably ditch out
of a group setting.Copy !req
330. That's why I'm trying
to locate the mother.Copy !req
331. Good luck with that.Copy !req
332. She was last seen in Ohio
over a year ago.Copy !req
333. You believe that?Copy !req
334. Charlie doesn't want us to find her.
That's why she's not cooperating.Copy !req
335. Such a great mom.Copy !req
336. Even a bad mom can give consent.Copy !req
337. That's what you need
for this kind of placement.Copy !req
338. If Charlie would cooperate in finding
her other relatives in Cleveland...Copy !req
339. she could be placed with them.Copy !req
340. - And she understands that?
- Yes.Copy !req
341. Yes.Copy !req
342. But I'm the enemy.Copy !req
343. Okay, I'll give it a shot,
if I'm not stepping on your toes.Copy !req
344. No, stomp away.
We all want the same thing.Copy !req
345. Jeanie, this is Dr. Fischer
from Infectious Disease.Copy !req
346. - How's the patient?
- He's defervescing.Copy !req
347. Lytes, chest x-ray, urinalysis
were all normal.Copy !req
348. He's been conscious off and on,
but delirious.Copy !req
349. He confirmed he was working in Gabon.
Some sort of land survey.Copy !req
350. - I want a sed rate and an LP.
- Right away.Copy !req
351. - And the airline?
- Keep them on alert.Copy !req
352. I want test results
before they contact passengers.Copy !req
353. I hear hoof beats, but I haven't
seen zebras. You drew blood cultures?Copy !req
354. - Graft is holding, finally.
- Let's close.Copy !req
355. 2.0 Prolene on a double arm.
Carter, suction.Copy !req
356. Come on! 2.0 Prolene.
Let's go. Let's wake up!Copy !req
357. Whole department's off today.
Everyone's still in shock.Copy !req
358. Bovie.Copy !req
359. I'm sorry I didn't get to know
Dr. Gant better.Copy !req
360. - How was working with him?
- It was too soon to say.Copy !req
361. More 2.0.Copy !req
362. - He hadn't distinguished himself yet.
- Surprising, given his transcripts.Copy !req
363. He came with
the highest recommendations.Copy !req
364. Maybe he was having
adjustment problems.Copy !req
365. So you noticed him struggling?Copy !req
366. Gant wasn't prepared to handle
an urban trauma center.Copy !req
367. Then why did you give him
a positive report?Copy !req
368. - Sorry?
- You heard me.Copy !req
369. Why did you praise him for his
improved technical skills and initiative...Copy !req
370. - ... in his second review?
- Perhaps at another time.Copy !req
371. I gave that review to Gant
before he had some recent backsliding.Copy !req
372. I wasn't even aware he received
that evaluation.Copy !req
373. He hadn't. It came today.Copy !req
374. You can be sure he never received
any encouraging word from you.Copy !req
375. Candy, take over suction.
You're excused, Dr. Carter.Copy !req
376. All he ever got from you
was harping and criticism.Copy !req
377. And now he's dead,
and you're gonna have to face it.Copy !req
378. My apologies, Dr. Hicks.Copy !req
379. - You don't like the roses?
- I love the roses.Copy !req
380. Just slow down.
You don't have to impress me.Copy !req
381. I just passed the florist
and thought about you.Copy !req
382. But in my family, if a man
sends flowers twice in one week...Copy !req
383. the only thing left is conversion
to Catholicism, marriage and seven kids.Copy !req
384. Should I look over my shoulder
for your father with a shotgun?Copy !req
385. My brother Julio.
He packs a. 45.Copy !req
386. - There you are.
- Looks like 100 percent participation.Copy !req
387. We have no nurses
in exactly one hour.Copy !req
388. This is Roger Drummond from
Labor Relations. You know Mary Cain.Copy !req
389. Our attorneys are filing
an injunction.Copy !req
390. An organized work stoppage
is illegal under their contract.Copy !req
391. No one was actually stupid enough
to admit to an organized sickout?Copy !req
392. - I hope only this shift's affected.
- We can't stay open without nurses.Copy !req
393. I've rounded up some
private-duty nurses.Copy !req
394. And also some nurse managers
from other departments.Copy !req
395. - Oh, boy.
- I can come down myself.Copy !req
396. The extra bodies will help
with non-emergent cases.Copy !req
397. The hospital prefers not to cave.Copy !req
398. At least we should stay
closed to trauma.Copy !req
399. - I agree with Carol.
- Me too.Copy !req
400. All right.
We close to trauma, 3:00 sharp.Copy !req
401. I'll call the paramedics,
let them know to divert.Copy !req
402. - How's she doing?
- No signs of retinal detachment.Copy !req
403. - What about the blobs?
- Most people have floaters.Copy !req
404. You probably notice them more
as you've been recovering.Copy !req
405. When will this stuff wear off?Copy !req
406. Your vision will be normal
in an hour or so. Wear these.Copy !req
407. Thanks for checking her out, doc.Copy !req
408. Any time, Dr. Ross.Copy !req
409. You have a very nice daughter.Copy !req
410. - She's not my daughter! Who said that?
- It was just a joke.Copy !req
411. Cool! These are trippy.
Everything's a blur.Copy !req
412. - Why did you tell Dr. Zogoiby that?
- That you're my dad?Copy !req
413. - You're old enough.
- Half the time you clam up...Copy !req
414. and the other half
you're taking back lies you told.Copy !req
415. So?Copy !req
416. So you're making it tough
for people to help you.Copy !req
417. You cooperate,
then Social Services can find a relative...Copy !req
418. or get consent
for somebody to take you in.Copy !req
419. - Like who?
- You gotta help them figure that out.Copy !req
420. Stop lying to people.Copy !req
421. Like adults don't lie
every chance they get?Copy !req
422. Why don't you have any kids?Copy !req
423. I get my fill on the job.Copy !req
424. So this truth thing's
a one-way street.Copy !req
425. I get it.Copy !req
426. I haven't gotten it together
long enough to stay with a woman...Copy !req
427. let alone family and babies
and long-term commitments.Copy !req
428. You wouldn't have to have a baby
if you had a foster kid.Copy !req
429. Anybody in particular?Copy !req
430. A teenager wouldn't be
that long of a commitment.Copy !req
431. I'm practically grown up already.Copy !req
432. If I were ready,
you'd be first on my list.Copy !req
433. You've used that on women,
haven't you?Copy !req
434. I have.Copy !req
435. There you are.Copy !req
436. - So how are the eyes?
- She's doing fine.Copy !req
437. Good. Well, I'm sure her mother
will be relieved to hear that.Copy !req
438. You found her in Cleveland?Copy !req
439. On South Des Plaines Avenue, 10 blocks
away, where she and Charlie live.Copy !req
440. My God, Charlie!
I was freaking. I was so worried.Copy !req
441. Look at you.
What did I tell you would happen?Copy !req
442. You're gonna end up
with scars from this.Copy !req
443. When are you gonna listen to me?Copy !req
444. I can't turn my back for a second,
you're out the door.Copy !req
445. - Dr. Pomerantz?
- Yes.Copy !req
446. Dr. Anspaugh said you might
be available today for counseling...Copy !req
447. - ... for those of us who knew Dennis Gant.
- That's right.Copy !req
448. They've set up an office for me
on the Surgical Ward.Copy !req
449. Room 820.
I'll be there till 6.Copy !req
450. I don't know if I can make it today.Copy !req
451. I meant to stop by earlier,
but I got called into surgery.Copy !req
452. - Are you an intern?
- Yeah, yeah. John Carter.Copy !req
453. Oh, you're John Carter.Copy !req
454. Dennis mentioned you a few times.
You were his friend.Copy !req
455. Oh. You knew Dennis?Copy !req
456. He came for counseling
when he first arrived.Copy !req
457. But after a few sessions, he stopped.Copy !req
458. I see.Copy !req
459. I'm really very sorry. I know
how hard it is to lose a friend.Copy !req
460. I hope you'll come by and talk.Copy !req
461. When Dennis quit therapy,
did you think that it was okay?Copy !req
462. I mean, did you feel it was
all right for him to stop?Copy !req
463. I didn't disagree with it,
his stopping, at the time.Copy !req
464. He seemed to be settling in,
developing a support system.Copy !req
465. There's a survivor's guilt that comes
with any unexpected death.Copy !req
466. Maybe I feel guilty because I am.Copy !req
467. You should come and see me.Copy !req
468. I'll try.Copy !req
469. I'll try to remember your names...Copy !req
470. but please have your ID tags
where they can be seen.Copy !req
471. - Bye, Lily. Bye, Haleh.
- Goodbye, Carol. Good luck.Copy !req
472. - Has anyone worked ER before?
- Twenty years ago. I hated it.Copy !req
473. We're closed to trauma.
That'll ease the workload.Copy !req
474. And please, if you have questions, ask.Copy !req
475. - Later.
- A quarter till?Copy !req
476. - I can meet you there.
- I'll pick you up.Copy !req
477. Bye, Chuny.Copy !req
478. If they win this,
it'll be good for nurses.Copy !req
479. It's not that simple.
County's gotta find the money.Copy !req
480. They can check my bank account.
It's not in there.Copy !req
481. I'll send these up to the lab.
Cell count and diff, protein, glucose...Copy !req
482. - ... India ink and culture.
- Exactly.Copy !req
483. Nice to see you again.
Did we find you something exotic?Copy !req
484. We've all seen way too many movies.
No ecchymosis or bleeding or rash.Copy !req
485. It doesn't suggest Ebola.Copy !req
486. Meet me in the lab.
We'll make the Giemsa stains.Copy !req
487. We have techs who will do that.Copy !req
488. I'm an old-fashioned lab rat.
I like to do it myself.Copy !req
489. Greg's wonderful. I should've
thought of him for you earlier.Copy !req
490. - Kerry.
- As your doctor.Copy !req
491. There's no reason for you to drive out
to Highland Park anymore.Copy !req
492. Greg's very respected for his work
with HIV patients.Copy !req
493. He left a successful private practice
to come to County...Copy !req
494. after his partner died
of AIDS last summer.Copy !req
495. - That's too bad.
- You ought to think about it.Copy !req
496. Yeah. Maybe I will.Copy !req
497. She's not even a runaway.
Her mom lives 10 minutes away.Copy !req
498. Sounds like a case herself.Copy !req
499. Letting her kid run the streets
all hours of the day and night.Copy !req
500. What do you think?
Chop House for Valentine's Day?Copy !req
501. I'd love to, but you're not my type.Copy !req
502. I know. It's not very romantic,
but it's Chuny's favorite.Copy !req
503. They gonna send Charlie
home with her mom?Copy !req
504. There's a cooling-off period
where the DCFS...Copy !req
505. figures out which end is up.
And I'm on my way to the gym.Copy !req
506. Sounds like she's in safe hands.Copy !req
507. Thank God for Social Services.Copy !req
508. Hey, Carter, can I get you anything?Copy !req
509. I could get used to being
closed to trauma.Copy !req
510. I was actually hoping
for something to do.Copy !req
511. Doesn't feel real, does it?Copy !req
512. I just keep waiting for Dennis
to come in...Copy !req
513. and tell everybody it was
a big mistake.Copy !req
514. You couldn't have done anything.Copy !req
515. I know that.Copy !req
516. I just don't believe that.Copy !req
517. Help! Somebody help my friend,
please! He's dying!Copy !req
518. - Okay, on a count-
- Don't! His leg is barely hanging on!Copy !req
519. - What happened?
- Gil was taking a nap in the alley.Copy !req
520. They dropped a Dumpster on him.Copy !req
521. I dragged it off him
and called for help...Copy !req
522. but no cars would stop.
I couldn't find a phone.Copy !req
523. The paramedics
wouldn't have brought you here.Copy !req
524. You saved your friend
a ride across town.Copy !req
525. Get the doctors.
Get all the doctors!Copy !req
526. - Let's try the other slide.
- Okay.Copy !req
527. Thanks.Copy !req
528. - Want to take a shot?
- Sure.Copy !req
529. - Know what you're looking for?
- Hoop-shaped rings, like Saturn.Copy !req
530. Exactly. You like astronomy?Copy !req
531. My fifth-grade science project
was on comets. I'm an expert.Copy !req
532. You must be excited about
the appearance of Hale-Bopp.Copy !req
533. It's a comet that was just
discovered this month.Copy !req
534. - Do you have your own telescope?
- Careful.Copy !req
535. You'll get me started on
a new set of useless facts.Copy !req
536. I thought about getting a telescope.
Can you see much with the city lights?Copy !req
537. You should join me for a comet watch.
I usually set up outside the Adler.Copy !req
538. I'd love to sometime.Copy !req
539. How about tonight?
It's supposed to be crystal clear.Copy !req
540. But bundle up.
At 4, a chill comes off the lake.Copy !req
541. 4 a. m.?Copy !req
542. It's only visible in the predawn sky.Copy !req
543. Hey, wait. Look.
I think I found some. Take a look.Copy !req
544. Am I right? They have rings,
more than one.Copy !req
545. That's it.
The asexual form of the parasite.Copy !req
546. - It's plain old malaria.
- Good news for Mr. Hecht?Copy !req
547. Chloroquine, 10-milligram IV
followed by a 15-milligram drip.Copy !req
548. Hey, you know,
I'm usually awake at 4 a. m. anyway.Copy !req
549. - I'll bring the coffee.
- Great.Copy !req
550. O- neg is here. Four units.Copy !req
551. Thanks. Ask Radiology
what's taking so long.Copy !req
552. Get on the rapid infuser.
I got a pumper! Femoral artery!Copy !req
553. Four-by-fours for Dr. Greene.Copy !req
554. - Gauze?
- Four-by-fours.Copy !req
555. Come on!Copy !req
556. - Gil, come on.
- He's thready.Copy !req
557. Pressure's 60.
Heart rate's 140. Pulse ox, 90.Copy !req
558. - How's that lavage coming?
- I need Betadine.Copy !req
559. Coming up. Watch out!Copy !req
560. - I need some help with this tape.
- Okay, I got it.Copy !req
561. - Who's on the infuser?
- I'll get it. Just a sec.Copy !req
562. Positive lavage.
We got internal bleeding.Copy !req
563. - I need a thigh cuff.
- Thigh cuff for Dr. Greene.Copy !req
564. Upper right drawer.
Right drawer. Up.Copy !req
565. Found it.Copy !req
566. - He's fibrillating.
- I'll start compressions.Copy !req
567. Let's shock him. Paddles, Carter, 200.Copy !req
568. Everybody up!Copy !req
569. No juice.Copy !req
570. Carol?Copy !req
571. Hit the sync switch. Turn it off.Copy !req
572. - Am I set?
- Yeah.Copy !req
573. Clear!Copy !req
574. Come on, Gil.Copy !req
575. Three hundred. Clear!Copy !req
576. Is he dying? Is he dying?Copy !req
577. - Is my buddy dying?
- We're doing our best.Copy !req
578. - Why don't you wait outside.
- 360. Clear!Copy !req
579. - He's my friend!
- I know! I know!Copy !req
580. Give me an amp of epi.Copy !req
581. - I tried to get him here.
- Shut this guy up!Copy !req
582. It's my fault! I let him down!Copy !req
583. Let's shock him again at 360. Clear!Copy !req
584. - He's my buddy, and I let him down!
- Okay! We got it!Copy !req
585. - Get him out of here!
- Let's go!Copy !req
586. No, you didn't. At least you tried!Copy !req
587. - Kerry, can you cover for me?
- Go on.Copy !req
588. Go on. Come on.Copy !req
589. Let's try him again at 360. Clear!Copy !req
590. I knew Dennis was having a hard time.Copy !req
591. I knew he was in trouble...Copy !req
592. but I was too busy...Copy !req
593. and I just didn't want
to get dragged down.Copy !req
594. I didn't listen.Copy !req
595. You're in the middle
of your first year of Residency.Copy !req
596. You're working at an inhuman pace.Copy !req
597. Why am I doing it again?Copy !req
598. Because you were trying to learn
a job where lives are at stake.Copy !req
599. I didn't save Dennis' life though, did I?Copy !req
600. You don't know that you could have.Copy !req
601. I know that I wasn't much of a friend.Copy !req
602. I'll collect the sharps.
You check off the dispensed meds.Copy !req
603. - You don't have to do that.
- I don't mind chipping in.Copy !req
604. Number 11 lavage blade...Copy !req
605. two needles from a central line.Copy !req
606. All right.
Three epi, 100 of lidocaine.Copy !req
607. I wanted to compliment you
on how you handled yourself today.Copy !req
608. It isn't easy to be a manager
when it's hitting the fan...Copy !req
609. and your workers are your friends.Copy !req
610. Two IV needles.Copy !req
611. Thanks. It's been pretty awful
around here lately.Copy !req
612. I think of myself as a nurse, and I'm
wading through this management crap.Copy !req
613. Two of O-neg, empty, two unused.
You waded through it very gracefully.Copy !req
614. Isn't there three of O-neg?Copy !req
615. Oh. Yeah, here it is.Copy !req
616. No. This one is marked A-pos.Copy !req
617. What?Copy !req
618. Did we order type-specific?Copy !req
619. It never came down.
I mean, where did this...?Copy !req
620. God, this must've been on the infuser!Copy !req
621. There's blood in the Foley bag.Copy !req
622. Oh, my God!
I gave him the wrong blood.Copy !req
623. This unit of A-positive
must have been left on the infuser.Copy !req
624. When I started it up,
I'm sure there was a bag on there.Copy !req
625. I just thought someone had hung it.
I didn't check the label.Copy !req
626. Have you sent an EDT A-treated sample
to be re-cross-matched?Copy !req
627. Yeah. It showed massive
intravascular hemolysis.Copy !req
628. I gave type-A blood
to a type-O patient. I killed him.Copy !req
629. - He was bleeding out anyway.
- We've saved worse.Copy !req
630. It was an honest mistake.
You were the only RN.Copy !req
631. We were all filling in roles
we weren't accustomed to.Copy !req
632. It still doesn't take away
the basic error.Copy !req
633. I did not check the label.Copy !req
634. We're saying that if you determined
an incident report was unnecessary...Copy !req
635. we wouldn't pursue it.Copy !req
636. - Am I speaking out of turn?
- No.Copy !req
637. You could've thrown the empty bag
in the hazardous waste...Copy !req
638. - ... and been done with it.
- That's true.Copy !req
639. But I'd still have to look at myself
in the mirror every day.Copy !req
640. Thank you for making the arrangements,
Dr. Carter.Copy !req
641. And the sentiments you expressed
set just the right tone.Copy !req
642. I want to apologize about
what happened earlier in surgery.Copy !req
643. You already did.Copy !req
644. - Did I miss it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
645. Mr. Gant, this is Dr. Benton,
who you were asking about.Copy !req
646. Dr. Benton, this is Dennis Gant Sr.Copy !req
647. He was hoping to meet you.Copy !req
648. My sympathies are with you
and your family.Copy !req
649. - Thank you, doctor.
- I'm sorry I missed the service.Copy !req
650. Dennis' e-mail gave me a sense
of how demanding your schedules are.Copy !req
651. In fact, I had to admonish my son
for taking time to write home at all.Copy !req
652. I didn't want him to neglect
his workload.Copy !req
653. I know that Dennis greatly respected
your work...Copy !req
654. and looked up to you.Copy !req
655. Well, I'm afraid I was...Copy !req
656. a bit tough on your son.Copy !req
657. Maybe Dr. Carter filled you in.Copy !req
658. - No, I haven't.
- You have to be tough. Life is.Copy !req
659. I wasn't entirely convinced
that my boy should've...Copy !req
660. chosen such an ambitious specialty.Copy !req
661. But I didn't raise a quitter.Copy !req
662. I hope he didn't disappoint you.Copy !req
663. No, your son worked very hard.Copy !req
664. And I think he...Copy !req
665. would've made an excellent surgeon.Copy !req
666. Oh, I am so late.Copy !req
667. What a day, huh?Copy !req
668. You know, you and Dr. Fischer
make a good team.Copy !req
669. We're getting together later.
He's an astronomy buff.Copy !req
670. You have a date with Greg Fischer?Copy !req
671. No. Not a date. In some ways,
it's perfect that he's gay.Copy !req
672. What makes you think he's gay?Copy !req
673. - Well, you said-
- He isn't gay.Copy !req
674. - You said his partner died of AIDS.
- His partner in his medical practice.Copy !req
675. Not his lover.Copy !req
676. Oh, my God! Greg Fischer is one of the
most eligible heterosexuals in Chicago.Copy !req
677. - So he thinks this is a date.
- It is a date.Copy !req
678. - I can't go.
- Don't be silly.Copy !req
679. I didn't tell him I'm HIV-positive.Copy !req
680. It's just a date. Get to know him.
You're entitled to a date.Copy !req
681. Really. Go. Have fun.Copy !req
682. I expect to hear all about it tomorrow.Copy !req
683. - Have you seen E-Ray?
- He's helping one of the temp nurses.Copy !req
684. Not with a patient.
With her astrological chart.Copy !req
685. Is Dr. Fischer in?Copy !req
686. I see. Is he on pager, by chance? No?Copy !req
687. - No? Okay, thanks.
- Carol, good news.Copy !req
688. The union blinked first.
Nurses will be back on the morning shift.Copy !req
689. Well, you saved me a trip from upstairs.
I needed to give you this.Copy !req
690. During a trauma that came in privately...Copy !req
691. I gave the patient the wrong blood,
and he died.Copy !req
692. - Oh, my God.
- Patient's family aware of the error?Copy !req
693. He was a transient.
He had no family members.Copy !req
694. Well, that's fortunate.Copy !req
695. What?Copy !req
696. I'll look over the report,
but don't beat yourself up.Copy !req
697. The sickout contribute
to this man's demise?Copy !req
698. No, it was my error.
I didn't check the label.Copy !req
699. I'm gonna have to write this up,
of course.Copy !req
700. But I think in view of
the circumstances of the day...Copy !req
701. we may be able to forego
an investigation.Copy !req
702. I don't want any special favors here.Copy !req
703. I stayed on today because
as a manager I'm required to.Copy !req
704. I understand.Copy !req
705. The mom admits
there've been fights in the house.Copy !req
706. She claims she can't keep Charlie in.Copy !req
707. Sounds more like the mom's
not in much herself.Copy !req
708. She confirmed the abuse by one,
if not two, of her boyfriends in the past.Copy !req
709. - Why'd you page me?
- Charlie's making claims.Copy !req
710. - Against me?
- Not accusations.Copy !req
711. Norm and I felt that it would be best
if we hashed it out together.Copy !req
712. I appreciate you coming.Copy !req
713. - What's up?
- Thank you for taking care of her.Copy !req
714. - It's my job.
- But so many don't care.Copy !req
715. Or just don't take the time.Copy !req
716. I was out of my mind when I heard.Copy !req
717. I thought she was babysitting.Copy !req
718. I was updating Dr. Ross about
the problems at home.Copy !req
719. I won't say I don't have a temper,
and I've made a lot of mistakes.Copy !req
720. But I love Charlie like crazy,
and I just want her to find something.Copy !req
721. I know she can't go out
on her own, but-Copy !req
722. So I told them what you told me about
how my mom could give consent.Copy !req
723. Adele would know more about that.Copy !req
724. Charlie means parental consent
for her to live with you.Copy !req
725. - She believes you agreed to that.
- Like we said, I'm almost grown up.Copy !req
726. I wouldn't be around all the time.
I mean, I'd be in school.Copy !req
727. And I can see you're a good man
and a doctor.Copy !req
728. I'm not giving up my daughter.
She needs a good influence.Copy !req
729. That isn't what we talked about.
In fact, it's the opposite.Copy !req
730. - Charlie was mistaken.
- We could do it. They'd let us.Copy !req
731. So you were lying? You see what it's
like with her? You make me nuts!Copy !req
732. - I can't do this.
- Why not? I'd do whatever you said.Copy !req
733. Adele and Dr. Middleton can help you.Copy !req
734. Screw Adele and Dr. Middleton!
And screw Mom!Copy !req
735. It's all a bunch of crap!
I'll run away for good!Copy !req
736. You know it, and it'll be your fault!
I hate you!Copy !req
737. - Maybe you should go.
- Go! Go on! Get out of my face!Copy !req
738. I'm half-frozen!Copy !req
739. The snow was supposed to stop.
You didn't even get a glimpse.Copy !req
740. We'll have to try that again,
like in June, July...Copy !req
741. Two hot chocolates.Copy !req
742. - You want something to eat?
- Yeah, maybe.Copy !req
743. I'm afraid I'm not hardy enough
for astronomy.Copy !req
744. Or crazy enough.Copy !req
745. I've never been that interested
in the stars themselves.Copy !req
746. It's the stories behind them.Copy !req
747. There's some great myths.
Have a favorite?Copy !req
748. I like the gruesome ones
like Cassiopeia.Copy !req
749. - Turned to stone by Medusa.
- You sure she didn't freeze stargazing?Copy !req
750. Actually, she's sitting there,
waiting for the man of her dreams.Copy !req
751. Remember? She's searching
for a nice, upstanding guy.Copy !req
752. He can even be a bit of a nerd.Copy !req
753. As long as he's not
completely lacking in spontaneity.Copy !req
754. I'm sorry.Copy !req
755. No, I'm sorry. No. It's my fault.Copy !req
756. I just didn't expect that.Copy !req
757. But did you like it?Copy !req
758. Yes, I did.Copy !req
759. But, Greg...Copy !req
760. I'm HIV-positive.Copy !req
761. I should've told you,
but I didn't think it was a date.Copy !req
762. - That's okay.
- No. I should've.Copy !req
763. But I was having fun.Copy !req
764. So...Copy !req
765. Here you go.Copy !req
766. - Did you want to order anything?
- No.Copy !req
767. No, thanks. I'm fine.Copy !req
768. I know I was hard on Gant. I thought
it was the best way for him to learn.Copy !req
769. And I don't blame you.Copy !req
770. No more than I blame myself.Copy !req
771. I just feel like I have been
walking around with this secret...Copy !req
772. and you're the only person
who knows it.Copy !req
773. And you won't admit to it.Copy !req
774. You know, a few years ago,
I went to my high-school reunion.Copy !req
775. North Lawndale.
Jackie got it in her head.Copy !req
776. It wasn't much of a turnout because
half of the class had dropped out.Copy !req
777. I didn't know the others. My parents
tried to keep me from bad influences.Copy !req
778. But here I am with them, you know?Copy !req
779. And a third of the guys are in prison,
and I bet another third are dead.Copy !req
780. You hear about this one
and that one over the years.Copy !req
781. But this night...Copy !req
782. I'm just struck by
the sheer numbers.Copy !req
783. I don't know what to think
of Gant's death.Copy !req
784. But, Carter, I don't need you
to tell me how I feel.Copy !req
785. You want to go through this alone?Copy !req
786. You want to make this
into something...Copy !req
787. that I don't know about?Copy !req
788. I guess you can.Copy !req
789. We'll both keep our distance.
We'll both do our work.Copy !req
790. Pretend like nothing happened.Copy !req
791. We're good at that.Copy !req
792. Look what that did for Dennis Gant.Copy !req
