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