1. It's another steamer today.
Hot, muggy weather.Copy !req
2. High in the 90s with high humidity.Copy !req
3. They say never trust air you can't see,
and you'll see it today...Copy !req
4. with no end in sight for the hot,
humid weather.Copy !req
5. I'm running over today. I hope
I'm not making you late for work.Copy !req
6. No. I'm not on until this afternoon.Copy !req
7. I did my Residency at County.Copy !req
8. Three years of too many patients,
too little time and no resources.Copy !req
9. - Sounds about right.
- Hard to believe we had no CTs...Copy !req
10. no MRIs and glass IV bottles.Copy !req
11. Glass?Copy !req
12. Well, your lab work's back...Copy !req
13. and the results show a viral load
of 15,000, which is good.Copy !req
14. - Coffee?
- I've already had too much.Copy !req
15. So have I.Copy !req
16. There's a fairly new HIV cocktail
that I recommend you start on now.Copy !req
17. The three drugs?Copy !req
18. AZT, 3TC and a protease inhibitor.Copy !req
19. There is no long-term research but
the preliminary findings are positive.Copy !req
20. Not quite a cure.Copy !req
21. But more hope than we've had
in a decade.Copy !req
22. There may be some side effects.Copy !req
23. - Nausea, vomiting, rash.
- How much does it cost?Copy !req
24. Your insurance will cover it.Copy !req
25. Actually, I'm gonna stick with cash.Copy !req
26. That could cost up to $ 16,000 a year.Copy !req
27. I'm sure I can work that out.Copy !req
28. Afraid of letting the hospital know?Copy !req
29. I've heard of health-care workers...Copy !req
30. getting fired or reassigned
for being HIV-positive.Copy !req
31. Me too. I've got a couple of them
as patients.Copy !req
32. But not from County.
I don't know what their policy is.Copy !req
33. It's hard to ask without someone
wanting to know why you're asking.Copy !req
34. I'll write the prescription,
but these will get you started, okay?Copy !req
35. You're to take two of the 3TC...Copy !req
36. and six each of the AZT
and the protease inhibitor.Copy !req
37. Fourteen pills a day?Copy !req
38. The 3TC twice a day
with plenty of water.Copy !req
39. The protease inhibitor before meals,
always on an empty stomach.Copy !req
40. Two each of the AZT three times a day.Copy !req
41. Just follow these written
instructions, okay?Copy !req
42. Does your watch have an alarm?Copy !req
43. Good. Get used to hearing it.Copy !req
44. Miss a couple of doses, and this virus
could develop resistance.Copy !req
45. Do I need to worry about
transmitting this to a patient?Copy !req
46. If you use universal precautions...Copy !req
47. and are careful,
there shouldn't be a problem.Copy !req
48. - "Shouldn't."
- With the exception of one dentist...Copy !req
49. there has been
no case documentation...Copy !req
50. of any health-care worker
transmitting HIV to a patient.Copy !req
51. None.Copy !req
52. So I'll see you in three weeks?Copy !req
53. Three weeks.Copy !req
54. There are a lot of diseases
that can take your life.Copy !req
55. But this one
can take over your life.Copy !req
56. Don't let it.Copy !req
57. Are you the doctor?Copy !req
58. I saw the name on the mailbox.
John Truman Carter, M.D.?Copy !req
59. Well, I am Betty.Copy !req
60. From 318.
Are you a doctor doctor?Copy !req
61. Because I'm feeling short of breath.Copy !req
62. You might want to lose the cigarettes.Copy !req
63. You think that might
make a difference at my age?Copy !req
64. Just a wild guess.Copy !req
65. I tried one of those humidifiers.
I stuck my whole head in the thing...Copy !req
66. Wait! What time is it?Copy !req
67. I just turned off
Regis and Kathie Lee.Copy !req
68. Oh, God!
Benton is gonna kill me!Copy !req
69. I can't help you now. Sorry, I'm late,
and I am going to die soon.Copy !req
70. Maybe you should try
an albuterol inhaler.Copy !req
71. Maybe an atrovent inhaler.
That kind of thing.Copy !req
72. Get off me!
I want to get out of here!Copy !req
73. - What happened?
- I can't take these fat people on PCP!Copy !req
74. Broke out of her restraints.Copy !req
75. Where's Security?Copy !req
76. Where are the men?Copy !req
77. Get off me, you bitches!
I want to get out of here!Copy !req
78. Sorry, sir.Copy !req
79. We gotta get her down!Copy !req
80. Keep her down! Sit on her!Copy !req
81. Are you okay?Copy !req
82. Is this psycho day? Some lunatic in 4
kept trying to lick me.Copy !req
83. Maybe it's the heat.Copy !req
84. Full moon?Copy !req
85. They know County's closing, and
they're getting their last digs in.Copy !req
86. In here, right?Copy !req
87. What the hell kept you?Copy !req
88. We got the call five minutes ago.
We ran all the way.Copy !req
89. You don't think County's really
gonna close, do you? Can it?Copy !req
90. Have you read the papers?
$ 150 million shortfall in the budget.Copy !req
91. Be tough giving this all up,
won't it?Copy !req
92. - Where's Carter?
- Do I look like his mother?Copy !req
93. Randi! Have you seen Carter?Copy !req
94. He's a surgical intern now.
We don't keep track of him anymore.Copy !req
95. Sorry you were late.
We already saved him.Copy !req
96. - I'm not late.
- You know Wayne Lentloff?Copy !req
97. Good to see you.
You missed a good one!Copy !req
98. - Nobody called me.
- Thanks, Wayne.Copy !req
99. It was fun.
We'll do it again.Copy !req
100. Listen, I wanted to talk to you
about a fellowship in Cardiothoracic.Copy !req
101. I haven't made up my mind
what specialty...Copy !req
102. I know. I hear Vascular wants you,
Trauma, Critical Care...Copy !req
103. I talked to them, but you know...Copy !req
104. But you need to talk to us.
Cardiothoracic is a great specialty.Copy !req
105. Good man like you could finish up
a fellowship in three years.Copy !req
106. Are you free Sunday?
I'd like you to come out for brunch.Copy !req
107. Lake Forest.
And you are gonna love it.Copy !req
108. - Want a ride?
- I think I can make it from here.Copy !req
109. So how did it go last night?Copy !req
110. - How did what go?
- Your blind date.Copy !req
111. Oh, God!Copy !req
112. You know better than to tell Doug.Copy !req
113. I only told him after
he told me about your blind date.Copy !req
114. - The girl with the retainer.
- I don't believe him.Copy !req
115. - Don't worry. Mine was worse.
- Nothing could be worse.Copy !req
116. This girl had an entire vegetable
garden stuck in her teeth.Copy !req
117. That's the baby pool compared to Tad.Copy !req
118. - Could I get a cup of coffee, black?
- You got it.Copy !req
119. I can't believe you'd go out
with a guy named Tad.Copy !req
120. - I did.
- I made it fresh just for you.Copy !req
121. Fresh from yesterday's grounds.Copy !req
122. First of all, I order a Manhattan
straight up, two cherries.Copy !req
123. He orders a fruity, yet selfless,
glass of cabernet.Copy !req
124. - What does that even mean?
- I have no idea.Copy !req
125. Then he talks for 45 minutes
about his ex-girlfriend...Copy !req
126. whose name also happens to be Susan.Copy !req
127. How he loved her
and wanted to marry her...Copy !req
128. how he wanted to father her
5 or 6 children.Copy !req
129. And, by the way, do I want children?
Do I want 5 or 6 children?Copy !req
130. Okay. Tad could be worse.Copy !req
131. I'm not even there yet, Mark.Copy !req
132. I look over, and he has this drop
of red wine hanging from his nose.Copy !req
133. - What?
- A little blob just hanging there.Copy !req
134. Of course I cannot take my eyes
off of it.Copy !req
135. Will it fall?
Will it hang there all night?Copy !req
136. Is his skin going to absorb it?Copy !req
137. How did it get there?Copy !req
138. How do you get your nose
that far into a wine glass?Copy !req
139. What, was he smelling it?Copy !req
140. What happened?Copy !req
141. I went to the bathroom
and snuck out the window.Copy !req
142. You're kidding!Copy !req
143. - Did he ask you to brunch?
- How did you know?Copy !req
144. Wayne Lentloff is nothing
if not predictable.Copy !req
145. That's why I like him, actually.Copy !req
146. He gets the Residents
out to Lake Forest every year.Copy !req
147. Shows them the
seven-bedroom Colonial...Copy !req
148. the tiered garden,
the Olympic lap pool...Copy !req
149. Very impressive.Copy !req
150. All the benefits
of cardiothoracic surgery.Copy !req
151. Of course, we're only in it to
help our fellow man, aren't we...?Copy !req
152. - What's your name?
- Gant. Dennis Gant.Copy !req
153. Step in, Mr. Gant.Copy !req
154. Take a look-see while I divide
this anterior rectus fascia.Copy !req
155. - Tonsil clamp.
- A little Bovie, please.Copy !req
156. Not you, Gant.Copy !req
157. Boys and girls in Vascular
pull you aside?Copy !req
158. That's mostly diabetics
and smokers.Copy !req
159. - Not for me.
- How about a Pediatric fellowship?Copy !req
160. Surgery above and below the diaphragm.Copy !req
161. Very high-tech.Copy !req
162. Actually, no one's asked me.Copy !req
163. Hard as it is to believe,
some of the elite fellowships...Copy !req
164. you'll have to go after yourself.Copy !req
165. Dr. Gant was kind enough
to cover the ER...Copy !req
166. seeing as you were nowhere
to be found.Copy !req
167. Perhaps you should do the same
for him.Copy !req
168. Let's yank this little
hyperemic sucker.Copy !req
169. Pean clamp!Copy !req
170. Got it?Copy !req
171. The key to landing a good job
is presentation.Copy !req
172. I'm not gonna dress like you,
if that's what you mean.Copy !req
173. "Two summers, Assistant
Night Manager at McDonald's."Copy !req
174. It's a bit of a lie. I just
manned the drive-through window.Copy !req
175. That's better.Copy !req
176. That's managing the communication
and distribution system...Copy !req
177. of an international
Fortune 500 company.Copy !req
178. I like that. What you're saying
is, make it a big lie.Copy !req
179. Semantics can be your friend, Jerry.Copy !req
180. Some guy's puking over at Chairs.Copy !req
181. I'll get it.Copy !req
182. Did you get the liquor out of 4 yet?Copy !req
183. You can't bother him now.Copy !req
184. He's rephrasing his r Ásum Á.
Going for the presidency of Chrysler?Copy !req
185. It's not necessarily County that'll
close. There are three other hospitals.Copy !req
186. But what if it does? I only got
eight hours' worth of savings.Copy !req
187. You ought to get E-Ray
to help you revise your r Ásum Ás.Copy !req
188. I'm a nurse. How many ways
can you rephrase that?Copy !req
189. Mark said something about a couple of
teenagers. Is there a chart on them?Copy !req
190. I haven't made one up yet.
Two 15-year-olds.Copy !req
191. - Mark said he'd see them.
- Who am I seeing?Copy !req
192. - The 15-year-olds over at Chairs.
- Right.Copy !req
193. An 81 -year-old ALOC with abdominal
pain coming in by private.Copy !req
194. - Anything surgical?
- Nope. Nada. Nothing.Copy !req
195. Abdominal pain at the back door.Copy !req
196. Susan, can you help me
with a chest tube?Copy !req
197. I'm gonna see those kids.Copy !req
198. Did you get a chance
to read that synopsis...Copy !req
199. of Donald Anspaugh's speech
at Northwestern?Copy !req
200. "Modern Architecture for
Emergency Medicine Management"?Copy !req
201. Anspaugh?
Isn't he the chief at Southside?Copy !req
202. Doug did his rotation there.
He said the guy's a crackpot.Copy !req
203. You might want to consider the source
on that evaluation.Copy !req
204. I found his ideas intriguing.Copy !req
205. Rearranging the physical layout here
is not one of my priorities.Copy !req
206. Could we at least rearrange
where our Security sits?Copy !req
207. Three nurses had to restrain
a PCP patient this morning...Copy !req
208. because they took too long
to get there.Copy !req
209. - Was anybody hurt?
- Fortunately, no.Copy !req
210. You know, Mark,
just because it's my suggestion...Copy !req
211. it doesn't, by definition,
make it a bad idea.Copy !req
212. She just has a way of making you feel
really small, doesn't she?Copy !req
213. Sorry. I had no idea
they'd send the bill to you.Copy !req
214. Your insurance company doesn't pay.Copy !req
215. You think the hospital's
just gonna eat it?Copy !req
216. I don't know. What do they do
with immigrants and poor people?Copy !req
217. They go after anyone who's legally
responsible. That's me, Al.Copy !req
218. We're still married, remember?Copy !req
219. I screwed up when I changed jobs.Copy !req
220. This guy I'm working for, he's
independent. Doesn't give benefits.Copy !req
221. CTA said I could stay on their plan.
But there was this Cobra payment.Copy !req
222. I had no idea I missed it.Copy !req
223. It was real confusing.Copy !req
224. They're gonna let me know
if I can get reinstated.Copy !req
225. Can it maybe go on your insurance?Copy !req
226. You're not on my insurance.Copy !req
227. I joined my plan after we separated.Copy !req
228. $3200 is what I'm supposed to pay for
you? And in a week I get another bill?Copy !req
229. Thomas, time to come in!
Where are you?Copy !req
230. Franklin Heath, 81. Sweet old guy
looking for someone named Thomas.Copy !req
231. His private-duty nurse,
Mr. Travels, is over there bulking up.Copy !req
232. - He looks dedicated.
- He's dumping him?Copy !req
233. It's not for me to say.Copy !req
234. He's done this a number of times.Copy !req
235. Always on a Friday.Copy !req
236. - Thomas, it's getting dark.
- Carol, what happened to your car?Copy !req
237. - What do you mean?
- A tow truck hauled it off.Copy !req
238. Go, I'll take care of this.Copy !req
239. Strong old guy, isn't he?Copy !req
240. Where are you, Thomas?Copy !req
241. Wait, wait, wait!Copy !req
242. That's my car!Copy !req
243. - Stop beating on my truck.
- Stop stealing my car.Copy !req
244. You Carol Hathaway?Copy !req
245. Repossessed.Copy !req
246. - That can't be right.
- You missed three payments.Copy !req
247. So I'm a little late.
I made the other seven on time.Copy !req
248. I know that you did, which is why
I thought tonight we could...Copy !req
249. I understand. Your parents
don't come into town that often.Copy !req
250. I'd love to meet them,
but I'm working tonight.Copy !req
251. What time do they go to bed?Copy !req
252. I'm kidding.Copy !req
253. I'll talk to you soon.Copy !req
254. That's an old friend from college.Copy !req
255. Radiology called.Copy !req
256. The films on that Burman kid are back.Copy !req
257. You want to rephrase your r Ásum Á,
you should talk to him, not E-Ray.Copy !req
258. - I heard your car got towed.
- It's a mistake.Copy !req
259. I know a couple guys who can
track a repo man down like that.Copy !req
260. If you want.Copy !req
261. Carter said I should tell you
he's in Curtain 3.Copy !req
262. Nurse Hathaway?Copy !req
263. You're still here.Copy !req
264. We've been sitting there
like you told us.Copy !req
265. - That doctor never showed.
- If you tell me, I could help you.Copy !req
266. We need to see a doctor.Copy !req
267. - Where's Ross?
- Radiology.Copy !req
268. - Greene?
- Trauma 2.Copy !req
269. Follow me.Copy !req
270. BP's 100 over 50. Pulse 120.Copy !req
271. - Good bilateral breath sounds.
- Toes upgoing.Copy !req
272. - Trachea's midline.
- ET tube's 71/2.Copy !req
273. - You said you'd see these kids.
- We were diverted.Copy !req
274. They need a doctor, and I'd
like to do your job for you...Copy !req
275. Thank you. Perhaps they
could wait a little longer?Copy !req
276. Let's get a noncontrast head CT.Copy !req
277. You know where you were waiting
before? Go back there and wait again.Copy !req
278. BP's 90 over 60. Pulse 104.Copy !req
279. He's been agitated,
complaining of abdominal pain.Copy !req
280. That is when he's not
looking for Thomas.Copy !req
281. - Who's Thomas?
- Who knows?Copy !req
282. Let's order a CBC, Chem-7, UA,
abdominal series. And let's get an EKG.Copy !req
283. - If you don't need me anymore...
- Have a nice weekend, Mr. Travels.Copy !req
284. Thomas, come on in.Copy !req
285. Dinner is ready.Copy !req
286. What are you doing?Copy !req
287. An 81 -year-old ALOC complaining
of abdominal pain. No vomiting...Copy !req
288. and yesterday had a normal
bowel movement.Copy !req
289. Mild tenderness, no rebound or
guarding. You have nothing here.Copy !req
290. - Did someone dump him?
- That's a possibility.Copy !req
291. I suggest you do the same.Copy !req
292. You're in Surgery,
not Geriatrics, okay?Copy !req
293. I'm sorry about my blowup before.
It was out of line.Copy !req
294. - No excuses whatsoever.
- Don't worry about it.Copy !req
295. Thanks. Can I borrow your motorcycle
after lunch?Copy !req
296. What?Copy !req
297. I have to be at my house at 3:00.
My car got towed...Copy !req
298. and I won't have time
to catch the EI.Copy !req
299. - We're gonna grab a drink.
- Walk with us.Copy !req
300. - Talk to you later.
- I'll check on those kids.Copy !req
301. - You know how to ride a motorcycle?
- It's like a big moped, right?Copy !req
302. I guess.Copy !req
303. I'm Dr. Lewis.
What seems to be the problem?Copy !req
304. - A woman doctor?
- Best I could do.Copy !req
305. We could call your parents
if you prefer.Copy !req
306. We lost our condom.Copy !req
307. So you're trying to tell us
the condom is...Copy !req
308. Deeply, deeply lost.Copy !req
309. - The decision wasn't being made
for another week.Copy !req
310. That's what we thought until
they called this meeting.Copy !req
311. They gave no indication as to what
the outcome was going to be?Copy !req
312. Nada. Niente. Zip.Copy !req
313. Could be us, Southside
or Central. Someone's closing down.Copy !req
314. I got this. Here you go, Manny.
Three cans of pop.Copy !req
315. - I didn't think they'd do it.
- Neither did I.Copy !req
316. Neither did Anspaugh.
He called me about it.Copy !req
317. Sounded like he was having
a psychosensory disturbance.Copy !req
318. - He's afraid he's losing his job.
- You know him?Copy !req
319. I did two years of Residency at
Hennepin with him. The guy's lumpy.Copy !req
320. Well, I rather like him.Copy !req
321. Give it time. He eats
med students for breakfast...Copy !req
322. Residents for lunch, and he
chews up the Attendings for dinner.Copy !req
323. There was this guy, Michaelson. He was
a new ER Attending when I was there.Copy !req
324. Anspaugh vetoed every research topic
he submitted.Copy !req
325. - What for?
- He just didn't like him.Copy !req
326. Wanted to make sure he didn't
get tenure.Copy !req
327. - The meeting's at 5:00?
- I want you two there.Copy !req
328. Don't mention it to the staff.
They're nervous enough as it is.Copy !req
329. Could we possibly be out of Decadron?Copy !req
330. It's on one of the top shelves.Copy !req
331. They repoed your car, huh?Copy !req
332. - You knew that, didn't you?
- I didn't have the heart to tell you.Copy !req
333. - You're such a coward.
- And you have a problem with that?Copy !req
334. I'm strapped right now.
I could help you next month.Copy !req
335. Thanks, but I'm beyond
a little help from my friends.Copy !req
336. I'm meeting a realtor today
to sell my house.Copy !req
337. That's news.Copy !req
338. It needs so much work.
I haven't paid for the roof...Copy !req
339. and I don't know if I have
a job next week.Copy !req
340. How's life with you?
How's Gretchen?Copy !req
341. - The one who went to Smith?
- Gretchen is fine.Copy !req
342. And now I am armed
with my trusty Decadron...Copy !req
343. and I'm gonna go out
and cure the croup.Copy !req
344. - What did Morgenstern want?
- I can't tell you.Copy !req
345. There's a meeting at 5:00 to announce
whether we're shut down or not.Copy !req
346. - That's the bad news, huh?
- Don't worry about it yet.Copy !req
347. - Well, if it affects my vacation...
- Vacation?Copy !req
348. I'm going to Hawaii. I decided.Copy !req
349. What?Copy !req
350. Nothing. I thought you might be
worried about your Residency.Copy !req
351. Any news yet?
Are we jobless?Copy !req
352. No news.Copy !req
353. You can have the rumors
if you'd like to hear them.Copy !req
354. No, thanks.
This day's been bad enough.Copy !req
355. Call me crazy, but I think that woman's
trying to get your attention.Copy !req
356. What is she doing here?Copy !req
357. - Manny, what happened?
- I think I ate something.Copy !req
358. - You okay?
- This day's getting worse.Copy !req
359. Great.Copy !req
360. Anybody seen E-Ray?Copy !req
361. Mrs. Bradley? Alex?Copy !req
362. - Sorry to have kept you waiting.
- That's okay.Copy !req
363. Let's take a look here.Copy !req
364. - That's not too bad.
- It didn't hurt.Copy !req
365. No, I wouldn't think so.Copy !req
366. How did you cut that?Copy !req
367. - On the top of a can of tennis balls.
- He's taking lessons.Copy !req
368. I hate them.Copy !req
369. How much?Copy !req
370. What do you mean?Copy !req
371. As much as doing your homework?
As much as going to the dentist?Copy !req
372. Definitely as much as both.Copy !req
373. I hate it as much as taking the trash
out, cleaning up after the dog.Copy !req
374. - You wanted a dog.
- Well, I didn't want Robert.Copy !req
375. Don't talk like that about your
brother. You know better than that.Copy !req
376. - He loves you.
- I know.Copy !req
377. - And who feeds the dog? Me.
- No, you don't.Copy !req
378. Those shots you get at the dentist,
Novocain, you're not allergic to those?Copy !req
379. They stuck these things in my nose
and gave me this oxygen tank...Copy !req
380. to take home with me.Copy !req
381. And that inhaler thing,
it didn't work at all.Copy !req
382. Betty, you can't smoke in here.Copy !req
383. You can't smoke around this oxygen
tank, even at home. It'll blow up.Copy !req
384. I want you to know...Copy !req
385. that I asked for you specially.Copy !req
386. Thank you. Very flattered.Copy !req
387. Malik needs you in 3!
It's about an old guy, a Mr. Heath?Copy !req
388. I'll be right back.Copy !req
389. Call Carol.
And page Dr. Lewis or Greene.Copy !req
390. - Oh, God!
- He's bradying down.Copy !req
391. - Get a mask on him.
- What happened?Copy !req
392. He arrested.
The monitor's flatline.Copy !req
393. - Where's Dr. Lewis and Greene?
- I paged them.Copy !req
394. - Want me to call his nurse?
- Mr. Travels has gone traveling.Copy !req
395. Let's give him...Copy !req
396. - You're pumping too hard.
- Thank you.Copy !req
397. - How about an amp of...?
- Epi!Copy !req
398. And a mg of atropine.Copy !req
399. I think I just broke his rib.Copy !req
400. I'm getting a faint pulse!Copy !req
401. 10 mics per kg.
That's about 1200 mics.Copy !req
402. Give him 500 mics of dopamine.Copy !req
403. Damn good job, Carter.Copy !req
404. I'll call for transfer.Copy !req
405. I can't believe I broke his rib.Copy !req
406. - I knew he was frail, but...
- Better than letting him die.Copy !req
407. Transfer him up to Medicine.Copy !req
408. I got a hernia that needs an H & P
upstairs now. Let's go.Copy !req
409. Hello?Copy !req
410. Mrs. Puro?Copy !req
411. Hi there.Copy !req
412. I'm sorry I'm late.
How did you get in?Copy !req
413. Your mother.
She makes a killer cup of coffee.Copy !req
414. There you are.
I was going to call the hospital.Copy !req
415. - What are you doing here?
- Material for the kitchen curtains.Copy !req
416. - I thought I'd drop it off.
- I'm glad you changed your mind.Copy !req
417. - About what?
- About selling.Copy !req
418. I told Elizabeth.Copy !req
419. First names only in my business.Copy !req
420. I told her you must have
changed your mind.Copy !req
421. Why else would we put up curtains?Copy !req
422. - Not to sell it.
- No. It wouldn't help.Copy !req
423. Why don't you see how they'd look
in the bedroom?Copy !req
424. You want the same in the bedroom?Copy !req
425. We'll talk about it later.Copy !req
426. I haven't changed my mind.
I want to sell this place.Copy !req
427. You're kidding.Copy !req
428. Is there a problem?Copy !req
429. How can I put this delicately?Copy !req
430. I couldn't sell this house
if Chicago burned down around it.Copy !req
431. - I know it needs work, but...
- The roof is...Copy !req
432. The roof is new!Copy !req
433. I was going to say the roof is fine.Copy !req
434. But the furnace doesn't even turn on.
Not to mention the asbestos.Copy !req
435. There's no central air,
no window unit.Copy !req
436. Exposed 2-by-4s, dry wall.
There are holes in the carpet...Copy !req
437. which, unfortunately,
reveal the subterranean termites.Copy !req
438. The plumbing's not copper, the
electrical's a fire waiting to happen.Copy !req
439. And as much as I hate to mention it,
you live next to the El tracks.Copy !req
440. Frankly, I'm impressed someone managed
to sell it to you.Copy !req
441. A month after the abscess was drained,
she had to have a hysterectomy.Copy !req
442. My God was she in pain then!Copy !req
443. Weeks, weeks, weeks!Copy !req
444. And what's so unfair is that with
all four of our kids, cesareans...Copy !req
445. which is a lot of slicing...Copy !req
446. couldn't stand up straight
until 1987.Copy !req
447. You can see why with
this hernia thing...Copy !req
448. which is also somewhat
in the middle...Copy !req
449. I'm obviously a little nervous.Copy !req
450. Being able to talk to you is helping.
I'm very grateful.Copy !req
451. I won't be able to do this when
I'm out and Doctor... What's his name?Copy !req
452. - Benton.
- That's it. Benton.Copy !req
453. When I'm under the knife,
and he starts cutting...Copy !req
454. Oh, my God! My God!Copy !req
455. What if I don't come out of this?Copy !req
456. I won't know what happened.Copy !req
457. Have you considered having a local
anesthetic instead of a general?Copy !req
458. I didn't know I had a choice.Copy !req
459. The advantage to a local is that...Copy !req
460. while you feel no pain, you're
awake and you can talk to the surgeon.Copy !req
461. - Can I ask questions?
- Dr. Benton encourages it.Copy !req
462. - In the middle of surgery?
- All the way through.Copy !req
463. In fact, you could read up
on hernias in this book.Copy !req
464. And anything you don't understand...Copy !req
465. you can ask Dr. Benton.Copy !req
466. That's great.Copy !req
467. Ross was looking for you.
Some kid needs suturing.Copy !req
468. I have to go to Radiology
and the cath lab.Copy !req
469. - Have you seen Mark?
- I believe he is lounging.Copy !req
470. Come on!Copy !req
471. All right, all right!
My turn. Time's up.Copy !req
472. This is a...Copy !req
473. - There you are!
- I'm not talking to you.Copy !req
474. You know, you made poor Tad very sad.Copy !req
475. What did he say?Copy !req
476. - You don't even know him!
- Gotcha!Copy !req
477. That's a low one, Doug.Copy !req
478. I take it you don't want me to tell
anybody about your date tonight.Copy !req
479. You have another date?Copy !req
480. I hate this place.Copy !req
481. It's right there.
She hit it with her hand.Copy !req
482. It would be better if we sewed them.Copy !req
483. Everything in this house
could be better!Copy !req
484. Fine!Copy !req
485. Why are you mad at me? I didn't put
holes in the floor, break the furnace.Copy !req
486. You're right.Copy !req
487. I'm sorry.Copy !req
488. I really want to sell this place.Copy !req
489. I need to sell this place.Copy !req
490. Is it because of Shep?Copy !req
491. I mean, does it make you think of him?Copy !req
492. God, Mom!
I never even thought of that.Copy !req
493. I feel good being on my own.
I just can't afford it.Copy !req
494. The house, the car. Somehow I've
accumulated the debt of a 50-year-old.Copy !req
495. We should call your Uncle Mykola.Copy !req
496. Uncle Myko? Why?Copy !req
497. He made all that money in real estate.
He could advise you.Copy !req
498. - It's not advice that I need.
- Maybe not.Copy !req
499. But spend some time there.Copy !req
500. Keep him company.Copy !req
501. You know, he has so much money...Copy !req
502. and he has no children of his own.Copy !req
503. And, sadly, he has not been
feeling well lately.Copy !req
504. Are you suggesting I ingratiate myself
to Uncle Myko so he'll leave me money?Copy !req
505. Well, he's going to die.
I can't help that.Copy !req
506. I mean, he has no children.
What's the poor man going to do?Copy !req
507. This feels like surgery.
It really does.Copy !req
508. And I'm floating, floating, floating.Copy !req
509. I thought you guys played music.
Although, I don't miss it.Copy !req
510. Is this gonna hurt, Dr. Benton?Copy !req
511. I've made the incision, Mr. Hartley,
and you didn't feel a thing.Copy !req
512. - I mean, in a couple of days.
- It'll be tender.Copy !req
513. I mean, like, when I go back to work.Copy !req
514. Go back to work
when you feel comfortable.Copy !req
515. When will that be?
Are we talking Tuesday...Copy !req
516. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?Copy !req
517. - Another week?
- What do you do?Copy !req
518. You know that drawbridge on Michigan?
I send it up.Copy !req
519. Send it down.Copy !req
520. Send it up, send it down.
Up, down...Copy !req
521. up, down.
Rain, shine, sleet, snow.Copy !req
522. Some days I count the boats.
Some days I don't.Copy !req
523. By the way, what are the borders
of Hesselbach's triangle?Copy !req
524. You might want to shift
a little to the left.Copy !req
525. Manny threw up right around there.Copy !req
526. - Manny? From the roach-coach?
- Food poisoning?Copy !req
527. - I told you.
- It wasn't the coffee, was it?Copy !req
528. - Are you ever getting off that?
- I'm on hold with the airlines.Copy !req
529. At least that's what the reservations
department has told me 97 times.Copy !req
530. Mark, you ready?Copy !req
531. Or not, as the case may be.Copy !req
532. We'll be waiting.Copy !req
533. All right.Copy !req
534. - I told Susan about the meeting.
- I told Jeanie, Malik and Carter.Copy !req
535. I figured if you don't tell Doug Ross,
then you're okay.Copy !req
536. How are you doing, Mr. Heath?Copy !req
537. Thomas, where are you?
Your dinner's ready.Copy !req
538. I bet those ribs hurt.
Sorry about that.Copy !req
539. You hear me? Get inside now.Copy !req
540. We'll get you something for the pain.Copy !req
541. Listen to me. Listen to me!Copy !req
542. I'm listening to you, Mr. Heath.
I'm listening to you.Copy !req
543. There he is.Copy !req
544. - This is impossible.
- Maybe you should yell "fire."Copy !req
545. - No chairs.
- It's a little crowded.Copy !req
546. Every buzzard in the county
showed up for this one.Copy !req
547. Present company excepted.Copy !req
548. Alice Wakely.Copy !req
549. She's from Health Services
since the Paleolithic.Copy !req
550. - You know her?
- We went to school together.Copy !req
551. - She was ahead of me, of course.
- Okay, okay, everybody.Copy !req
552. I'll spare you and make this quick.Copy !req
553. While we regret the need to close
any county medical facility...Copy !req
554. She's lying already.
This isn't quick.Copy !req
555. our strapped budget's made it
unavoidable. Two weeks from today...Copy !req
556. Southside will close its doors.Copy !req
557. There's the good news.Copy !req
558. We're concerned about
the loss of jobs...Copy !req
559. so we'll consolidate as much
of the staff as possible.Copy !req
560. There are people I'll introduce
for those who might not know them.Copy !req
561. Harrison Holman is coming over
as new Chief of Obstetrics.Copy !req
562. Bonnie Brown will share the CFO office
with James Malkovitch.Copy !req
563. I've heard she's excellent.
Did a great job at Deaconess.Copy !req
564. And with Mike Babcock
taking early retirement...Copy !req
565. Donald Anspaugh will become
County's new Chief of Staff.Copy !req
566. I just was thinking how unusual
it is to see...Copy !req
567. our whole ensemble this happy.Copy !req
568. Especially about keeping a job
where people puke on you.Copy !req
569. Is that the guy?Copy !req
570. - That's the guy.
- Which guy?Copy !req
571. He looks fairly normal.Copy !req
572. So did Morgenstern.Copy !req
573. They finally came down for Heath.
Took him to the CCU.Copy !req
574. Poor old guy.Copy !req
575. Who do you think Thomas was?
His son?Copy !req
576. I know this sounds crazy,
but I think Thomas was his dog.Copy !req
577. His dog?Copy !req
578. At one point, he seemed to think I was
Thomas. He pulled me in close...Copy !req
579. ear to his mouth, and he whispers:Copy !req
580. "Kibble, kibble, kibble, kibble."Copy !req
581. It was oddly touching.Copy !req
582. It was, Carol!Copy !req
583. How are you? Don Anspaugh.Copy !req
584. - Lydia Wright.
- Pleased to meet you.Copy !req
585. E-Ray. Please join us.Copy !req
586. Excuse me. I got it. I got it.Copy !req
587. Okay, I'll let everybody know.Copy !req
588. That was Dr. Weaver calling
from the lounge.Copy !req
589. Dr. Morgenstern will be unable
to attend the party.Copy !req
590. I'm sure it won't be as bad
as you think.Copy !req
591. Look how bad everybody thought
it would be when I came aboard.Copy !req
592. True.Copy !req
593. Funny how life is so like surgery.Copy !req
594. Sometimes you can make that Rocky
Davis in the right, lower quadrant.Copy !req
595. And then there are those days
when your bowel ruptures...Copy !req
596. spills into your peritoneum,
and all you're left with...Copy !req
597. is intense pain and sepsis.Copy !req
598. Oh, brother!Copy !req
599. My kingdom for a 10-blade
when that happens.Copy !req
600. Look, so today's not a total loss...Copy !req
601. you want to grab some dinner,
maybe catch a movie?Copy !req
602. The Music Box has some
really fine independents.Copy !req
603. Sure.Copy !req
604. Maybe a midnight show at the Village.Copy !req
605. Have you seen Caligula?Copy !req
606. - Don't do this to me.
- Some of us have to date.Copy !req
607. Hi there.Copy !req
608. What do you like, Mark,
"The Stars and Stripes Forever"...Copy !req
609. or "Dauntless Battalions"?Copy !req
610. Actually, I gotta get going.Copy !req
611. Just kidding.Copy !req
612. This is torture.
I was off five minutes ago.Copy !req
613. My plan was to be in bed by 8:30.Copy !req
614. I was saving this guy
for the two of you.Copy !req
615. Vomiting, abdominal pain,
nausea. Thanks.Copy !req
616. - You been training with Dr. Benton?
- Trust me. You'll thank me.Copy !req
617. Thank you, Malik.Copy !req
618. Mr. Travels, right?
Mr. Heath's nurse?Copy !req
619. I'm Dr. Carter.
This is Nurse Hathaway.Copy !req
620. So you're feeling bloated,
nauseous and flatulent.Copy !req
621. - Must've been something I ate.
- It could be so many things.Copy !req
622. - Toxic megacolon.
- Intestinal parasitosis.Copy !req
623. - Scleroderma.
- Ulcerative colitis.Copy !req
624. Pyloric stenosis.Copy !req
625. Crohn's Disease.Copy !req
626. - Where would you like to start?
- I don't want to waste any time.Copy !req
627. Barium enema.Copy !req
628. I hate it when you do that.Copy !req
629. - Come on. It's fun.
- It scared the daylights out of me.Copy !req
630. All right, I'm sorry.
It'll never happen again.Copy !req
631. Let's go get a drink, you and I.Copy !req
632. - Couldn't get anything going tonight?
- Come on. I'm here.Copy !req
633. - Thanks.
- Let's get a drink.Copy !req
634. It's never just a drink, Doug.Copy !req
635. Is that all
that you want it to be?Copy !req
636. It'd be nice if you called
the day before.Copy !req
637. Heather, you know my schedule.Copy !req
638. It's hard enough to plan
two hours ahead, much less a day.Copy !req
639. Some really sick little kid
would come in...Copy !req
640. then I'd cancel on you,
and you'd be mad at me for doing that.Copy !req
641. I am not mad at you.Copy !req
642. You look as though you've had
a very long, very hard day.Copy !req
643. And I'd like to take you out
and see you relax a little bit.Copy !req
644. I'll throw in a lottery ticket.Copy !req
645. I gotta drop these off
at Neurology first.Copy !req
646. - Did you actually give him an enema?
- No. Compazine.Copy !req
647. Carter went home to bed.Copy !req
648. Benton's been beating up on him
these days.Copy !req
649. I'm shocked and horrified
to hear that.Copy !req
650. Ding-dong. Avon calling.Copy !req
651. Please. Allow me.Copy !req
652. This is County General on one-alpha.Copy !req
653. Unit 85. We're en route
with a 32-year-old male...Copy !req
654. jumped or pushed in front
of an El train at Garfield.Copy !req
655. Massive head, face,
chest and extremity trauma.Copy !req
656. Garfield's closer to Southside.Copy !req
657. They're closed in Trauma.Copy !req
658. I came out of the ambulance entrance
and my motorcycle had a flat.Copy !req
659. I gave myself plenty of time
to go home and change, but...Copy !req
660. I don't care. Really.Copy !req
661. - So you live up on the Gold Coast?
- I'm renovating a three-flat.Copy !req
662. Must be a lot easier
when you're an architect.Copy !req
663. Yes. It probably is.Copy !req
664. You know the pitfalls,
how long it's gonna take.Copy !req
665. That sort of thing.Copy !req
666. I see some friends.
Actually, a friend.Copy !req
667. You didn't tell me
you were coming here.Copy !req
668. Susan and I work at County together.Copy !req
669. - Brent Smythe.
- How do you do?Copy !req
670. This is Julie...Copy !req
671. Mathers.Copy !req
672. - Julie's an architect.
- Oh, really? Where?Copy !req
673. Higgin, Bloom.Copy !req
674. I represent them.Copy !req
675. - You're with Jackson, Gearson and Robe?
- They recruited me out of Stanford.Copy !req
676. My brother went to Stanford Law.
He graduated in '85.Copy !req
677. Jack Mathers, of course!
He went to... Don't tell me.Copy !req
678. - Dudzik, Hiltzik and Strauss.
- You have a good memory, don't you?Copy !req
679. Multiple lacerations, including
a chunk of rib cage missing.Copy !req
680. BP 60 palp.Copy !req
681. One-half liter saline in the field.Copy !req
682. He's got obvious open fractures
to the right femur and left humerus.Copy !req
683. One, two, three!Copy !req
684. - Congratulations on staying open!
- Thanks!Copy !req
685. - I'll intubate, 8.0.
- Good radial pulse.Copy !req
686. - Poor cap refill.
- Jeanie, give in-line traction.Copy !req
687. - BP's down 40 palp.
- Pulse ox 80.Copy !req
688. Have Respiratory set up a vent.Copy !req
689. No response to pain.Copy !req
690. Call Radiology,
get a cross-table C-spine.Copy !req
691. I'm in. Hang the O-neg.Copy !req
692. Oh, man! Sucking chest wound.Copy !req
693. How many units?Copy !req
694. Type specific 4,
type and cross 10.Copy !req
695. What have we got?Copy !req
696. Open chest wound with severe
respiratory compromise.Copy !req
697. Intubated but not saturated.Copy !req
698. 4 units of O-neg are in.Copy !req
699. BP's still 40.Copy !req
700. We got a pumper!Copy !req
701. I've got it.
Power clamp, Kelly.Copy !req
702. Okay, Jeanie, you can go now.Copy !req
703. - Grab me some Kerlex.
- I've asked her to leave.Copy !req
704. Check with the blood bank. Find out
what's keeping that type specific.Copy !req
705. How long does it take to get
a couple of drinks?Copy !req
706. Hopefully all night.Copy !req
707. I guess this is how
perfect couples meet.Copy !req
708. - Yeah, on somebody else's blind date.
- Great story for the grandchildren.Copy !req
709. You should call Tad
and give him the tip.Copy !req
710. Did you think you'd impress her
in scrubs?Copy !req
711. You don't think so?Copy !req
712. I find it a turn-on,
but some women...Copy !req
713. - Are they coming?
- Follow me.Copy !req
714. I know! I got some quarters.Copy !req
715. I don't remember these things
being so small.Copy !req
716. You probably haven't been in one
since you were 12.Copy !req
717. - What do we do?
- Look at the camera.Copy !req
718. No fair!
You're hogging the frame.Copy !req
719. All we'll see is my neck.Copy !req
720. - Good one.
- That was a great one.Copy !req
721. Just sit there and look.Copy !req
722. - Oh, God! Stop.
- They don't give you any warning.Copy !req
723. - Okay, it's coming up.
- All right.Copy !req
724. - No. Come on.
- Okay.Copy !req
725. One good one.Copy !req
726. See? That wasn't bad.Copy !req
727. Don't you ever treat me
like that again.Copy !req
728. - What were you doing?
- Trying to save a man's life.Copy !req
729. By giving him AIDS?Copy !req
730. I was careful.
I used universal precautions.Copy !req
731. You were working on a chest wound.
What if you cut yourself?Copy !req
732. - I didn't!
- What if I made a mistake and cut you?Copy !req
733. No person's ever gotten it
from contact in an ER.Copy !req
734. Does that mean no one can?Copy !req
735. Pile up all the data you want.Copy !req
736. But you'd better remember what
really happens in this room, okay?Copy !req
737. So you would've quit?Copy !req
738. In a minute.Copy !req
739. But you didn't test positive, did you?Copy !req
