I need to talk with you.Copy !req

93. Weren't you scheduled
to work the ER?Copy !req
94. I had to take the day off

- When I signed off on the clinic...Copy !req
96. you promised to find
your own personnel...Copy !req
97. and it wouldn't impinge
on your regular duties.Copy !req
98. I could turf the runny noses,
BP checks over to the ER...Copy !req

- Who?Copy !req
101. Nursing Administration.Copy !req

but that's not what happened.Copy !req
106. Sure.Copy !req
107. You're the best P.A. we have.
I just hate to see you give up.Copy !req
108. I'm not giving up. I'm moving on.Copy !req
109. Al's in Atlanta checking out leads
and a couple of construction jobs.Copy !req
110. But it's illegal for them to fire you
for being HIV-positive.Copy !req
111. - You think that's why they fired me?
- You don't?Copy !req
112. No. They could've done that last year.
It's because of the budget.Copy !req
113. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
114. - I missed you.
- Me too.Copy !req
115. You did? Because you didn't call.Copy !req
116. Well, we were on the road
the whole time but...Copy !req
117. So I wasn't able to wrap it.Copy !req
118. What's this?Copy !req

I love it!Copy !req

125. - Pardon us.
- Welcome back.Copy !req
126. There's no place like home.Copy !req
127. This coffee's terrible.Copy !req
128. I'm really awful in the kitchen.
Sorry.Copy !req
129. I think it tastes really good.Copy !req

131. Hit-and-run on his way to school.
GCS 7. Got routine blood work.Copy !req
132. Chest and abdominal films, C-spine.
BP's funky, 80 palp.Copy !req

134. There's a mass in the upper left
quadrant. Abdomen is distended.Copy !req
135. Crit's falling, 26.Copy !req
136. Bleeding internally. I'll hang
another unit on the rapid infuser.Copy !req
137. - He ruptured his spleen.
- Biggest spleen I've ever felt.Copy !req
138. - Got the wet reads.
- Great.Copy !req
139. Here's the shadow.Copy !req
140. That's the hematoma pressing down
on the splenic flexure.Copy !req
141. - Looks like a rupture.
- No, no.Copy !req
142. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.Copy !req
143. The film's mislabeled.Copy !req
144. The gastric bubble is under the right
diaphragm instead of the left.Copy !req
145. But with a splenic rupture,
the gastric bubble can be displaced.Copy !req
146. No, no, no.
Not that much it can't...Copy !req
147. Whoa, whoa, wait a minute!
That's not his spleen. That's his liver.Copy !req
148. The liver's in the wrong place.Copy !req
149. - Backwards?
- His abdominal organs are reversed.Copy !req
150. That's remarkable.Copy !req
151. Let's get him up to Surgery! Move!Copy !req
152. Ever do a case like this before?Copy !req
153. No. This is one in a million.Copy !req
154. All right, everybody. Page Romano!Copy !req

- A little.Copy !req
156. - Where would that have been?
- Chart Review.Copy !req
157. You don't see many patients
in Chart Review.Copy !req
158. No. But I know a lot about them.Copy !req
159. We'll have to double up
on patients in here.Copy !req
160. - Be with you in a minute.
- You said that an hour ago.Copy !req
161. Sign in patients, start a chart,
and check their vitals.Copy !req
162. - Where?
- Out here.Copy !req
163. If anyone seems the least bit emergent,
take them over to ER Triage.Copy !req
164. Can you handle that?Copy !req
165. - If I have any questions, I'll holler.
- Great. Mark!Copy !req
166. Oh, bring the kid out here, please.Copy !req
167. - Do you have a sec?
- I gotta get to Radiology.Copy !req
168. But I got a triple failure otitis media
that needs a scrip for Augmentin.Copy !req
169. All right. How's it going, Carol?Copy !req
170. You know, I would've been
organized by next week.Copy !req
171. You couldn't help me at all today?Copy !req
172. Well, it's a little busy
not having Doug here.Copy !req
173. - But I'll see what I can do.
- All right. I appreciate it.Copy !req
174. - I think Carol's mad at me.
- No. She's just got a lot on her mind.Copy !req
175. That hospital lawyer dropped off
these papers for you to sign.Copy !req
176. They're urgent,
about the civil rights case.Copy !req
177. - File them in my box.
- Along with the others?Copy !req
178. Yeah. I'm not gonna let
these bastards get to me.Copy !req
179. The man of the hour's arrived.Copy !req
180. - This is the situs inversus?
- It sure is.Copy !req
181. Fantastic case, Peter. I've never
seen one in the flesh before.Copy !req
182. It's worth considering a case report.Copy !req
183. I'm actually thinking of running
a literature review.Copy !req
184. I took the liberty. There's nothing
on abdominal situs inversus in Trauma.Copy !req
185. I can be the first to write about it.Copy !req
186. I just heard the good news.
You've got a nose for sniffing out zebras.Copy !req
187. I wish I could take credit,
but he landed it.Copy !req
188. - Finders, keepers.
- Peter won't mind you scrubbing in.Copy !req
189. - Give us a chance to work together.
- I think he might.Copy !req
190. No. No. Of course not.Copy !req
191. Great.Copy !req
192. You both can run it.
I'll hang out on the sidelines...Copy !req
193. in case I have to take one of you out.
Shall we scrub?Copy !req
194. So...Copy !req
195. Don't you think it's time
we called a truce?Copy !req
196. I am not at war.Copy !req
197. I feel terrible.
I didn't mean to mislead you...Copy !req
198. - ... about my family.
- It's not that big a deal, okay?Copy !req
199. - No hard feelings?
- No.Copy !req
200. Excuse me, John.
I hope I'm not interrupting.Copy !req
201. - Henry! What are you doing here?
- I wanna thank you...Copy !req
202. for giving me time
to finish my brain blots.Copy !req
203. - Grab the end of that, please.
- The end?Copy !req
204. The results are so promising, I got
a Howard Hughes Research Fellowship.Copy !req
205. - Glad I could help.
- You did.Copy !req
206. I was wondering if you might
do me one more favor here.Copy !req
207. - Favor, huh?
- See, I'm not able to- Excuse me.Copy !req
208. I can't start a new rotation until you
remove these UEs from my evaluation.Copy !req
209. So if you could just...Copy !req
210. "Unable to evaluate
physical examination.Copy !req
211. Unable to evaluate technical
and procedural skills.Copy !req
212. Unable to evaluate interactions
with the health care team. "Copy !req
213. Yeah. You can't just pass me?Copy !req
214. No. You barely showed up.Copy !req
215. Then the registrar says that I need
to repeat this clerkship until I pass.Copy !req
216. Anna, you don't have a student,
do you?Copy !req
217. Don't need one.Copy !req
218. Well, then, I guess
it's just you and me.Copy !req
219. Jeanie, I've been looking for you.Copy !req
220. Well, you found me.Copy !req
221. Good news.Copy !req
222. Atlanta Memorial called.
They're very interested in you.Copy !req
223. I faxed an excellent recommendation.
You should be a shoo-in for a position.Copy !req
224. Thank you.Copy !req
225. Jeanie, if there were any way I could
change things, believe me, I would.Copy !req
226. - I'm gonna miss you.
- I know.Copy !req
227. There is no way we can take
these people today.Copy !req
228. Come back next week,
they get priority.Copy !req
229. You refuse to give
the homeless physicals?Copy !req
230. I am not refusing. We don't
have any more appointments for today.Copy !req
231. But I called two hours ago and a lady
said that this was a walk-in clinic day.Copy !req
232. Cynthia!Copy !req
233. Did you give permission
to bring in these people?Copy !req
234. I figured it would be okay.Copy !req
235. Are you a complete idiot?
Can't you see we're swamped already?Copy !req
236. - I'm sorry.

237. She invited the entire Hazelton Shelter
for free physicals.Copy !req

goes first on the papers later.Copy !req
263. It's a wrist.Copy !req

a fracture of the wrist.Copy !req
265. Yeah. But there are eight bones
in the wrist. Which one?Copy !req
266. What are the odds
of catching TB in this place?Copy !req
267. Henry, which bone is broken?Copy !req
268. - It's the lunate.
- No. That's over here.Copy !req
269. Here. Remember this, would you?
It's a mnemonic.Copy !req
270. Never Lower Tillie's Pants.

278. - What do you call it?

374. This is a great teaching case.Copy !req
375. I discussed it with the residents
and students.Copy !req
376. Dr. Benton and Dr. Corday
performed the surgery.Copy !req
377. Photographs were taken.
Everybody would love to see them.Copy !req
378. We need to change
the patient's dressings.Copy !req
379. No problem. We'll come back later.Copy !req
380. This is great work, Peter.
Don't forget those photos.Copy !req
381. - Anspaugh's impressed.
- Yeah. Here.Copy !req
382. - How's the kid doing?
- He's stable. Here.Copy !req
383. Lucky break, the father knowing you.Copy !req
384. Should make it easier to consent him
for blood tests.Copy !req
385. Genetic breakthroughs are hovering in
the winds. You'll talk to the family?Copy !req
386. - Yeah.
- Yeah, great.Copy !req
387. - Peter, is something wrong?
- No.Copy !req
388. - I'd be happy to talk to the father.
- Why?Copy !req
389. I thought it might be more comfortable
since you know him.Copy !req
390. I don't know him.
What difference would it make?Copy !req
391. It's tough if you have
a personal connection.Copy !req
392. I don't have a personal connection.Copy !req
393. I don't want him to think
we're using his kid.Copy !req
394. We've treated him as best we can,
haven't we?Copy !req
395. - Yeah.
- Then you've got nothing to worry about.Copy !req
396. - Excuse me.
- My fault. I'm not used to the floor plan.Copy !req
397. - I don't think we've met. I'm Jeanie.
- Yosh Takata. New R.N.Copy !req
398. The new R.N.?Copy !req
399. How'd you get past the hiring freeze?Copy !req
400. I didn't know there was one.
I put in for a transfer to the ER.Copy !req
401. - How long you been here? Do you like it?
- Two years. I do.Copy !req
402. It's good to meet you. I gotta run.Copy !req
403. - How did you get these scars?
- Defending a cave diver.Copy !req
404. We got caught in a kelp forest.
Do you dive?Copy !req
405. - No.
- Oh, spectacular.Copy !req
406. When did you start handling snakes?Copy !req
407. He's defending me in a lawsuit.Copy !req
408. - Oh, you're an attorney.
- Yeah.Copy !req
409. Flora ate his neighbor's
Jack Russell terrier.Copy !req
410. Obviously, they have
no case whatsoever.Copy !req
411. They're not recognized
by the American Kennel Association.Copy !req
412. Gary offered to help me work with
snakes in exchange for legal counsel.Copy !req
413. How could I refuse such an offer?Copy !req
414. Sure, Al. I know.Copy !req
415. I know. Okay. I love you too. Bye.Copy !req
416. - You okay?
- Yeah.Copy !req
417. Just Al. Foreman job
in Atlanta fell through.Copy !req
418. I'm sorry. Does he have
other possibilities?Copy !req
419. Al always does.
Let me give you a hand.Copy !req
420. - Thanks.
- How's it going for you?Copy !req
421. Lousy. I don't know why I thought
I could run a clinic with no supplies.Copy !req
422. - I can't even write a scrip.
- P.A.'s can write them.Copy !req
423. But Kerry Weaver won't let me
use any of the ER staff.Copy !req
424. What's she gonna do? Fire me?Copy !req
425. Mark.Copy !req
426. You are so romantic.Copy !req
427. I am?Copy !req
428. Hiding that note under the charts.Copy !req
429. My heart skipped a beat
when I saw my initials.Copy !req
430. - What?
- On the envelope. "CH"?Copy !req
431. What you wrote was really sexy.Copy !req
432. - Did you mean it?
- Yeah, sure.Copy !req
433. Well, then my answer is yes. I will.Copy !req
434. Everything okay?Copy !req
435. Well, we just got some labs back.Copy !req
436. Rodney's crit is okay.
But his platelets are falling.Copy !req
437. We're concerned that his blood
might not clot properly.Copy !req
438. Is he gonna pull through?Copy !req
439. Well, he...Copy !req
440. He may need to have a transfusion. But
don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him.Copy !req
441. Thanks, Peter.Copy !req
442. I know you're doing
everything you can, man.Copy !req
443. All the doctors have been in,
making sure he's all right.Copy !req
444. Isaac, are you aware that Rodney
has a rare genetic syndrome...Copy !req
445. that caused his abdominal organs
to be reversed?Copy !req
446. Is that why he's so sick?Copy !req
447. No. But when he was hit by the car,
his liver was severely injured.Copy !req
448. See...Copy !req
449. If it had been in the proper position,
the prognosis might be better.Copy !req
450. Listen, I...Copy !req
451. I know it's not easy at times
like this to ask, but...Copy !req
452. we'd like permission to draw
some of Rodney's blood...Copy !req
453. along with yours and your ex-wife's
to do a genetic study.Copy !req
454. Yeah, okay.Copy !req
455. I'll do anything if it'll
help Rodney get better.Copy !req
456. Here. You need to sign the consent.Copy !req
457. On a scale of one to 10,
how would you rate your pain?Copy !req
458. Oh, I don't know.Copy !req
459. When you push like that,
it's a nine or an eight.Copy !req
460. But it could be a six or a seven.
I'm not sure.Copy !req
461. Ask him to describe
the quality of the pain.Copy !req
462. Mr. Kottmeier, please describe
the quality of your pain.Copy !req
463. Quality?Copy !req
464. Is it dull? Is it sharp?
Is it crampy? Is it constant?Copy !req
465. It's crampy, all right.
But sometimes it's sharp too.Copy !req
466. When it's not dull. I'm not sure.Copy !req
467. I'm a double Libra.
You know how that is.Copy !req
468. Not that I believe in horoscopes.Copy !req
469. That appears sharp to me.Copy !req
470. We're dealing with diverticulitis.
What do you wanna do?Copy !req
471. Well, that could be surgical or not.Copy !req
472. Order an abdominal ultrasound
or maybe get a CT. I'm not sure.Copy !req
473. Why don't we just start
with a history and a physical?Copy !req
474. Can you write me a scrip
for erythromycin ointment?Copy !req
475. I got a kid with conjunctivitis.Copy !req
476. Having you here today has been
a saving grace to me.Copy !req
477. Thanks.Copy !req
478. You worked hard to get this
going. I wish I had your guts.Copy !req
479. You gotta fight
for what you believe in.Copy !req
480. What if you don't have
the ammunition?Copy !req
481. Look for it.Copy !req
482. - That won't hurt him, will it?
- No.Copy !req
483. Give me 5 units of platelets and FFP.
500 units of heparin! Move!Copy !req
484. - Peter, what's wrong?
- His blood's not clotting.Copy !req
485. - What's going on?
- Oh, my God!Copy !req
486. He went into DIC.
I'm bolusing 500 of heparin.Copy !req
487. He's bradycardic.Copy !req
488. Lungs are wet.
Put him on 100% oxygen.Copy !req
489. His stats are falling!Copy !req
490. - Pulmonary hemorrhage.
- Get him on his stomach.Copy !req
491. Here we go, people. On my count.Copy !req
492. One, two, three!Copy !req
493. What's happening here?Copy !req
494. His lungs are filling with blood.Copy !req
495. - Jesus, please.
- Isaac, you gotta stand back.Copy !req
496. You've gotta stand back, man.Copy !req
497. Please.Copy !req
498. He's in asystole! Amp of epi!
We gotta get him turned back over.Copy !req
499. Here we go. On my count.
One, two, three, move!Copy !req
500. Gotta start CPR.Copy !req
501. - Connie, have you seen Cynthia?
- She's on a break.Copy !req
502. - Do you know if she left her purse?
- I don't know.Copy !req
503. She really likes you.Copy !req
504. Oh, yeah. We're just having fun.Copy !req
505. You gave her a diamond.
That's serious fun.Copy !req
506. What are you doing?Copy !req
507. - Nothing. I just lost my pen.
- Here.Copy !req
508. - You sign off on the budget?
- I found an error.Copy !req
509. - Really?
- Yeah.Copy !req
510. Here it has your salary
500 dollars more a week than mine.Copy !req
511. That's remuneration for my
taking over administrative duties...Copy !req
512. until Morgenstern returns,
God willing.Copy !req
513. $25,000 a year?Copy !req
514. You signed off on this three months ago.
Why didn't you say something?Copy !req
515. I guess I just wasn't paying attention.Copy !req
516. Hey, Jeanie, have you seen
a chart for Kottmeier?Copy !req
517. - No.
- Guess I'll start a new one.Copy !req
518. And have you traveled
anywhere recently?Copy !req
519. I just did.
Louisville, to visit the in-laws.Copy !req
520. And then to...Copy !req
521. Time to wrap up. History
and physical just took 90 minutes.Copy !req
522. Shave an hour off, you'd be
in passing range for this clerkship.Copy !req
523. There's a rectal abscess in 2
with your name on it.Copy !req
524. Mr. Kottmeier,
someone will see you shortly.Copy !req
525. - It would've gone faster if my allergies-
- Take an antihistamine.Copy !req
526. Hi, Mr. Kottmeier.Copy !req
527. I'm Dr. Del Amico.
I'm gonna examine you.Copy !req
528. Boy, when they said shortly,
they mean shortly!Copy !req
529. This new clinic's a godsend.
I work part-time. No benefits.Copy !req
530. So thank you.Copy !req
531. No. Thank you for saying that.Copy !req
532. There you go, Hector.Copy !req
533. That shot will keep you
from getting sick.Copy !req
534. If it's not too much trouble,
could you look at his chin?Copy !req
535. He crabs about it,
but I don't see anything wrong.Copy !req
536. Sure.Copy !req
537. Okay, Hector.
Does it hurt when I do this?Copy !req
538. I can't feel it.Copy !req
539. - You don't feel me pressing on it?
- No.Copy !req
540. No?Copy !req
541. Okay, I'm gonna go see
if I can find a doctor.Copy !req
542. High-dose epi! Seven cc's, one to
a thousand! Another mg of atropine!Copy !req
543. We got a blip!Copy !req
544. - Was it a pulse?
- No pulse.Copy !req
545. Maybe he's got fluid around the heart.
Pericardiocentesis needle.Copy !req
546. Flatline. An epi can cause
a few transient heartbeats.Copy !req
547. Damn! No blood.Copy !req
548. All right. Epi drip wide open
and more platelets. Let's go!Copy !req
549. Peter, it's been 20 minutes.Copy !req
550. Peter!Copy !req
551. Peter.Copy !req
552. Time of death, 4:52.Copy !req
553. Get him up to CT. Keep the C-collar on
until Radiology clears the C-spine.Copy !req
554. - You want films?
- No. The neurosurgeon will take them.Copy !req
555. - Kerry, I'd like a minute with you.
- Sure. Jeanie, what is it?Copy !req
556. I wanna take a look at the budget.Copy !req
557. - The ER budget?
- That's right. Yeah.Copy !req
558. I've told you.
It's nothing personal.Copy !req
559. I tried everything to try and keep you
here. The numbers don't support it.Copy !req
560. If I'm being fired,
I wanna see the numbers...Copy !req
561. not hear your interpretation of them.Copy !req
562. I've gone over them
with a fine-tooth comb.Copy !req
563. It's not fair,
but that's the way it is.Copy !req
564. How do you justify
hiring a new nurse?Copy !req
565. Yosh Takata was hired to replace
two nurses who've left.Copy !req
566. What about giving yourself a raise?Copy !req
567. Salaries are confidential.Copy !req
568. I sure as hell know why.Copy !req
569. - Jeanie, I'm sorry I can't help you.
- I'll find someone who can.Copy !req
570. Hey, Carter.Copy !req
571. Have you had a patient complain
about his chin falling asleep?Copy !req
572. Heads up, Henry. No.Copy !req
573. I'm sure if it's contagious,
he'll catch it.Copy !req
574. - Where are you going?
- Mr. Kottmeier's my patient.Copy !req
575. Then why did I do a physical on him?Copy !req
576. I'm quite fond of all of you.Copy !req
577. You did remember to sign him out
on the board, didn't you?Copy !req
578. - Was I supposed to?
- Where are you taking him?Copy !req
579. To the surgical ward. Mr. Kottmeier
has an inflamed diverticulum...Copy !req
580. that perfed into his mesentery.
He needs a colectomy.Copy !req
581. Hold on. Have you
considered medical management?Copy !req
582. Treat the abscess with a course of Flagyl
and Cipro before jumping into surgery?Copy !req
583. - I'm willing to give it a shot.
- No, no, no, wait.Copy !req
584. Do you agree because
you think I wanna hear that?Copy !req
585. Or do you really believe that?Copy !req
586. What?Copy !req
587. I don't want you agreeing with me
just to please me.Copy !req
588. I'm not. I've already considered
several alternatives to surgery.Copy !req
589. - You have?
- Shut up, Henry!Copy !req
590. Mark.Copy !req
591. If you have a problem
with my salary, come to me.Copy !req
592. Don't bring it up with the staff.Copy !req
593. Do you have any idea how many
hours I work every week?Copy !req
594. What are you talking about?Copy !req
595. - You disclosed our salaries to Jeanie.
- No, I didn't.Copy !req
596. - You didn't?
- No.Copy !req
597. What happened to all
the patients in your clinic?Copy !req
598. I gave them meal tickets and
stashed them in the cafeteria.Copy !req
599. Stressful day for you, huh?Copy !req
600. - Tell me about it.
- Anything interesting in Doug's note?Copy !req
601. I wish I knew.Copy !req
602. - I lost it before I got to read it.
- That's too bad.Copy !req
603. - How are you on Medline searches?
- Why?Copy !req
604. I did one on submandibular
paralysis and I came up with zilch.Copy !req
605. I'm not surprised.
I've never heard of it.Copy !req
606. I've got this kid complaining
of a numb chin. What should I do?Copy !req
607. Why don't you try "numb chin"?Copy !req
608. "Numb chin. "Copy !req
609. That sounds a little too,
you know, easy.Copy !req
610. Hey.Copy !req
611. There you go.Copy !req
612. I'm sorry, Isaac.Copy !req
613. Can we have a word with you
in the hall?Copy !req
614. I don't wanna leave my boy.Copy !req
615. We'd like your permission
to perform an autopsy.Copy !req
616. Why?Copy !req
617. Well, because it could be useful.Copy !req
618. Did something go wrong?Copy !req
619. He started bleeding when
you stuck him.Copy !req
620. No. His blood wouldn't clot
because of the liver injury.Copy !req
621. - Then why do you need to do an autopsy?
- For research.Copy !req
622. It could be helpful.Copy !req
623. That's why you're so interested.
Not because he was hurt.Copy !req
624. No, no, no.
We were trying to save his life.Copy !req
625. When you took his blood and mine,
were you trying to save his life?Copy !req
626. - No-
- We'd like to study his condition.Copy !req
627. I don't want him studied.Copy !req
628. We understand how you-Copy !req
629. Look at him! Don't you think
you cut him up enough?Copy !req
630. - Isaac, I'm so sorry.
- No!Copy !req
631. I don't want you cutting up my son!Copy !req
632. You're right. I'm sorry.Copy !req
633. I'll leave you alone.Copy !req
634. Focus, Henry. What do you hear?Copy !req
635. - I'm not- I'm not sure.
- What do you hear?Copy !req
636. He has a pneumothorax.
We'll put in a chest tube.Copy !req
637. I'll grab a tray.Copy !req
638. - It hurts.
- Yeah. I bet it hurts.Copy !req
639. Hang on there. Everything will
feel better in a minute.Copy !req
640. Okay. Henry, the first thing that
you wanna do is feel for the ribs...Copy !req
641. along the midaxillary line
locating the fifth interspace.Copy !req
642. Can I get some Betadine?Copy !req
643. Where you make the incision.Copy !req
644. - I'm not feeling so good.
- What?Copy !req
645. I'm not feeling so good.Copy !req
646. Sit down.
Put your head between your knees.Copy !req
647. Lily, give me the Kelly.Copy !req
648. How are you doing, Henry?Copy !req
649. Lydia, do me a favor and
slide Henry out of the way.Copy !req
650. - Carter, he's a little cyanotic.
- What?Copy !req
651. Can't get a pulse on the banger!Copy !req
652. Lydia, call an Attending!Copy !req
653. Change the dressing twice a day. Think
twice before defending any skydivers.Copy !req
654. Thank you, doc.Copy !req
655. We need you in Trauma 1.Copy !req
656. Anna, Malik, we may need your help.Copy !req
657. - What happened?
- Banger had a tension pneumo.Copy !req
658. - Henry passed out.
- All right. I'll finish the chest tube.Copy !req
659. Get your student into Trauma 2.Copy !req
660. Okay. Henry, you're gonna be
just fine.Copy !req
661. Everybody grab hold.Copy !req
662. On my count. One, two, three.Copy !req
663. - What happened?
- I don't know.Copy !req
664. I showed him how to put in
a chest tube and he fainted.Copy !req
665. - Go on the other side.
- Wheezes bilaterally.Copy !req
666. Pulse ox is 86.Copy !req
667. I need to intubate.
Get me a laryngoscope.Copy !req
668. - Let's go!
- Did he complain of feeling sick?Copy !req
669. He always does.
He's a hypochondriac.Copy !req
670. - Is he on any meds?
- Not that I know of.Copy !req
671. Okay. Let's get a CBC, Chem-20,
and a tox screen.Copy !req
672. All right, I'm in.Copy !req
673. - Bag him.
- Pulse ox is worse. Down to 82.Copy !req
674. What? Get a blood gas.Copy !req
675. - Pressure's crashing!
- What the hell is going on?Copy !req
676. His wrist and his left hand
are red and edematous.Copy !req
677. Right hand's also swollen.Copy !req
678. Oh, my God!
He's allergic to latex. Okay.Copy !req
679. He's in asystole!
Amp of epi, IV push!Copy !req
680. ET tube cup has latex.
We've got to extubate.Copy !req
681. Lily, get me an ET tube
from the latex-free cart.Copy !req
682. Wash your hands first.Copy !req
683. Chuny, get me a basin of water.Copy !req
684. - Found a non-latex ET tube.
- A mg of atropine and 50 of Benadryl!Copy !req
685. Laryngeal edema.
I'm having a hard time getting in.Copy !req
686. - How long has he been down?
- 30 seconds.Copy !req
687. - Watch his teeth. Can you see the cords?
- I know. Barely.Copy !req
688. All right, Malik. Hi-dose epi.
Seven cc's.Copy !req
689. You're doing great.
Just keep sliding it in very gently.Copy !req
690. - I'm in.
- Great.Copy !req
691. Good job.Copy !req
692. Got a pulse.Copy !req
693. Everything okay here?Copy !req
694. Everything's under control.Copy !req
695. Peter, I'd like to speak to you.Copy !req
696. I'd like to speak to you as well.Copy !req
697. I've been reconsidering the possibility
of joining your team.Copy !req
698. I understand Mr. Price refused
an autopsy on his son.Copy !req
699. Did you try to convince him?Copy !req
700. He doesn't want us carving his boy.Copy !req
701. Did you explain how research
might benefit others?Copy !req
702. He doesn't want it.Copy !req
703. Give him some time. He's emotional.Copy !req
704. I don't feel comfortable doing that.Copy !req
705. How do you think we made advances
in heart surgery, in transplantation?Copy !req
706. By refining procedures on patients
and studying the results.Copy !req
707. That kid was a freak of nature. And we
have a responsibility to do research.Copy !req
708. That "freak" was a boy
named Rodney Price...Copy !req
709. whose father doesn't understand
why he lost him.Copy !req
710. All you want to do is cut him
despite his father's wishes.Copy !req
711. We're scientists, Peter.Copy !req
712. We're not allowed sentimentality.
Now, you go back and get consent.Copy !req
713. - Because I want it.
- No. You get somebody else to do it.Copy !req
714. I just got a lab report back on
one of my patients, a 7-year-old.Copy !req
715. Turns out he's got
acute lymphocytic leukemia.Copy !req
716. A doctor should speak to the mother.Copy !req
717. - How did it present?
- Kid's complaint was a numb chin.Copy !req
718. I checked in the computer,
ran some tests.Copy !req
719. The mom knows you. Talk to her.Copy !req
720. Call me if she has any questions.Copy !req
721. And then I plea-bargained her down
to a misdemeanor...Copy !req
722. not two weeks after
she shot a guy!Copy !req
723. You could've saved yourself a whole
bunch of urgent phone messages...Copy !req
724. if you'd told me Herb was on board.Copy !req
725. - I didn't know you knew each other.
- Yeah.Copy !req
726. I served on the Trial Lawyers'
Banquet Committee.Copy !req
727. Herb was our speaker.Copy !req
728. I've been filling him in
on that Law family suit.Copy !req
729. You got yourself
quite a little mess.Copy !req
730. I've decided to ignore
the whole thing.Copy !req
731. Oh, wrong impulse.
You'll get slaughtered.Copy !req
732. You had better file this right
away to avoid a summary judgment.Copy !req
733. Mark, the hospital's board of
directors is gonna be very relieved...Copy !req
734. to hear that you have
such excellent representation.Copy !req
735. You know, you came about
this close to losing your job.Copy !req
736. Herb, if you have any questions
at all, please just give me a call.Copy !req
737. I shall. I shall.Copy !req
738. - Take care of yourself, Alan.
- You too. Mark.Copy !req
739. Why did you let Alan believe
that you're representing me?Copy !req
740. Honestly, doc, he's a lousy lawyer.
He jumps to conclusions.Copy !req
741. Nevertheless, I could represent you.Copy !req
742. Your fee would be a little
too steep for me.Copy !req
743. 400 an hour with
$10,000 retainer fee.Copy !req
744. - I figured.
- But, honestly, I don't need the money.Copy !req
745. I'm bored.Copy !req
746. I'm looking for new challenges.Copy !req
747. Here's the deal.Copy !req
748. Let me shadow you.Copy !req
749. You throw in a few procedures.
Nothing big.Copy !req
750. Maybe a couple of stitches
here and there.Copy !req
751. And I'll make your little lawsuit
vanish just like that. Gratis.Copy !req
752. I got an autopsy consent
on the Price boy.Copy !req
753. The father just needed more time.Copy !req
754. Why didn't Rocket send you?Copy !req
755. I refused.Copy !req
756. That was a ballsy move.Copy !req
757. It wasn't a move.
I told him what I felt.Copy !req
758. Well, it worked. Take a look
at tomorrow's surgery schedule.Copy !req
759. You're scrubbing in on a lap
splenectomy at 7 a. m.Copy !req
760. Rocket's team.Copy !req
761. He's partial to residents
with backbone.Copy !req
762. John?Copy !req
763. Yes, Henry?Copy !req
764. What happened?Copy !req
765. You went into anaphylactic shock
from latex.Copy !req
766. I was near death.Copy !req
767. - Yes.
- And you were there.Copy !req
768. Yes, Henry. I was there.Copy !req
769. And so was Anna.Copy !req
770. It was like a dream.Copy !req
771. Anna!Copy !req
772. Hey, Henry.Copy !req
773. It was the most amazing thing.Copy !req
774. I remember being drawn...Copy !req
775. toward this bright light.Copy !req
776. And then suddenly I was floating...Copy !req
777. up above you...Copy !req
778. over there in the corner...Copy !req
779. watching as the two of you...Copy !req
780. enveloped in a blue glow...Copy !req
781. worked together, united...Copy !req
782. to save my life.Copy !req
783. Thank you, John.Copy !req
784. Thank you, Anna.Copy !req
785. You are my angels.Copy !req
786. You brought me back to the living.Copy !req
787. Good night.Copy !req
788. Good night.Copy !req
789. Can't be a chart you're writing.Copy !req
790. No.Copy !req
791. And from the way
you're covering it up...Copy !req
792. I'd say it's something personal.Copy !req
793. Yeah. It's a...Copy !req
794. It's a love letter.Copy !req
795. The sentimental kind...Copy !req
796. or the "I'd like to
rip your pants off" kind?Copy !req
797. Definitely the latter.Copy !req
798. I'd like to be writing one of those.Copy !req
799. Pity I broke up with Jeremy.Copy !req
800. - Could've been more fun, long-distance.
- Someone from home?Copy !req
801. A self-possessed dermatologist.Copy !req
802. I'm afraid I broke his heart.Copy !req
803. Well, it's 9:00.Copy !req
804. And since you're writing rather
than living out your prose...Copy !req
805. - ... I'd venture to say you're alone.
- Yeah.Copy !req
806. Fancy grabbing a drink?Copy !req
807. I would love to.Copy !req
808. It is an unenviable job
running the ER...Copy !req
809. and making difficult
cost-cutting decisions.Copy !req
810. I got your message.Copy !req
811. Jeanie came in quite upset
about the budget.Copy !req
812. And I was just explaining that...Copy !req
813. it appears that you treated her
honestly and fairly.Copy !req
814. She gave herself a $25,000 raise.Copy !req
815. That's from the administrative budget.Copy !req
816. I understand that's your story.
But I don't buy it.Copy !req
817. Something else is going on.Copy !req
818. And what would that be?Copy !req
819. My HIV status.Copy !req
820. Jeanie!Copy !req
821. I believe that's why I'm being fired.Copy !req
822. I see.Copy !req
823. Well...Copy !req
824. Let's not do anything rash.Copy !req
825. I am late for a dinner at the moment.Copy !req
826. But tomorrow I can give the budget...Copy !req
827. another more thorough review.Copy !req
828. We've been over these figures
a dozen times.Copy !req
829. You told me we had to cut P.A.s.Copy !req
830. Why don't you give Kerry and me
another day to recheck our figures?Copy !req
831. Thank you, Dr. Anspaugh. I will.Copy !req
832. Jeanie, you're really gonna use
your HIV status like this?Copy !req
833. I call it as I see it.Copy !req
834. I tried everything to keep you here.Copy !req
835. Then I bent over backwards
to help you get a job in Atlanta.Copy !req
836. It just isn't fair, is it?Copy !req
837. I've never discriminated against
you because of your HIV status.Copy !req
838. I fought to keep you here.Copy !req
839. Kerry, like you said before,
it's nothing personal.Copy !req
840. - To your health!
- Thank you.Copy !req
841. Here.Copy !req
842. - What have we here?
- What have we here?Copy !req
843. Another present?Copy !req
844. It's beautiful. Should I try it on?Copy !req
845. You can try it on later.Copy !req
846. I dream of the taste of your neck and
the smell of your hair on my pillow.Copy !req
847. You do?Copy !req
848. No, silly. You do.Copy !req
849. Did you mean everything
you wrote?Copy !req
850. Yeah. Yeah, I did. It was...Copy !req
851. I was homesick.Copy !req
852. Do you remember this afternoon
when I said that I will?Copy !req
853. I changed my mind. I won't.Copy !req
854. You won't?Copy !req
855. Not unless you go first. Lie back.Copy !req
