1. Previously on ER:
Copy !req
2. Doug!
Copy !req
3. The results don't have anything
to do with the accident.
Copy !req
4. All this time I'm worrying
about HIV, and I get hepatitis C?
Copy !req
5. Why not apply to a Locum Tenens
program, filling in...
Copy !req
6. for vacationing surgeons?
Copy !req
7. - They pay you a bundle to step in.
- What's that?
Copy !req
8. Eight, ten grand, for
a couple weeks.
Copy !req
9. Can you say, "father"?
Can you say, "daddy"?
Copy !req
10. Yeah!
Copy !req
11. Hey, Peter!
Copy !req
12. - Good morning.
- Hey, good morning.
Copy !req
13. Wow! All this for just two weeks?
Copy !req
14. It's been 30 below
in north Minnesota.
Copy !req
15. - Will you be the only surgeon there?
- No, one of three.
Copy !req
16. So you're all set.
Copy !req
17. It's tough getting Reece squared away.
Copy !req
18. Carla can't pick him up on Thursday...
Copy !req
19. and that's Jackie's rough day.
But other than that...
Copy !req
20. Well, I can cover.
Copy !req
21. No, no. Come on.
I couldn't ask you that.
Copy !req
22. You didn't. I just offered.
Copy !req
23. What are friends for?
Copy !req
24. Okay. Yeah.
Copy !req
25. Have Dr. Edson follow up
on these before discharge.
Copy !req
26. A front's crossing the Rockies.
I hope you packed your long johns.
Copy !req
27. - I'm wearing my long johns.
- Peter!
Copy !req
28. Good thing I caught you. Locum Tenens
folks just called. Change of plans.
Copy !req
29. You're needed elsewhere.
Better hustle.
Copy !req
30. - Flight to Atlanta leaves in an hour.
- Atlanta?
Copy !req
31. - From there to Biloxi.
- I didn't sign up for Biloxi.
Copy !req
32. You pick up a car in Biloxi then
drive a few hours to LaVerne.
Copy !req
33. LaVerne? Whoa, wait a minute!
Copy !req
34. I signed a contract.
They can't just switch this now.
Copy !req
35. That's what the fine print's about.
Copy !req
36. It's a medical necessity. If you
back out, we'll look un-Hippocratic.
Copy !req
37. You'll need the dough if you accept
the cardiothoracic fellowship.
Copy !req
38. You're offering a cardiothoracic spot?
Copy !req
39. Not officially until May.
But between you and me...
Copy !req
40. Prestigious fellowships
always pay the least.
Copy !req
41. Like it's an honor to let them
get you deeper in debt.
Copy !req
42. Have a good trip.
Copy !req
43. - Sorry, it's the rules.
- Let me up. I work here.
Copy !req
44. - I could lose my job!
- I feel like an idiot.
Copy !req
45. - You being discharged today?
- Yeah, one final indignity.
Copy !req
46. Excuse me, miss.
I'll take over from here, okay?
Copy !req
47. - Be my guest.
- Okay. Go, go, go.
Copy !req
48. You're lucky you didn't
break any bones.
Copy !req
49. - The windshield looks a lot worse.
- I'm sorry about the hep C.
Copy !req
50. It doesn't scare me. Dr. Makadon
thinks I'll respond well to the meds.
Copy !req
51. - Where you off to?
- Doing a stint at a rural hospital.
Copy !req
52. At the last minute they stuck me
in the middle of nowhere.
Copy !req
53. A place called LaVerne, Mississippi.
Copy !req
54. - You're kidding! LaVerne?
- You know it?
Copy !req
55. I have aunts and uncles
in that part of Mississippi.
Copy !req
56. The Murdocks. I could
give you some numbers.
Copy !req
57. I don't know about free time.
Copy !req
58. I haven't been there since I was
a kid. I loved that place.
Copy !req
59. I used to climb trees and get dirty.
They're all great cooks.
Copy !req
60. Well, I'll keep an eye open.
Copy !req
61. If you run into any of my relatives,
just don't mention my HIV status.
Copy !req
62. - Of course not.
- I haven't told my family.
Copy !req
63. - Just give them my love.
- Yeah, yeah. Sure.
Copy !req
64. Hey, how you doing?
Copy !req
65. Can't complain.
Copy !req
66. - Is there a phone inside?
- Sorry.
Copy !req
67. Car broke down. I need to call
the hospital in LaVerne.
Copy !req
68. Son...
Copy !req
69. you in LaVerne.
Copy !req
70. - Is there a hospital here?
- Who are you looking for?
Copy !req
71. Okay, I'll tell you,
this looks real good.
Copy !req
72. - Maureen!
- IKeep the patch on. Excuse me.
Copy !req
73. - This gentleman looking for you.
- Miss Chapman, I'm Dr. Benton.
Copy !req
74. Oh, I'd given up. They said
you'd be here yesterday.
Copy !req
75. I didn't know until this morning.
Copy !req
76. - You're here for a month?
- No, no, no. Two weeks.
Copy !req
77. Hear that, leg? You got two weeks.
Copy !req
78. I'm the nurse practitioner.
I'm supposed to stay off my feet...
Copy !req
79. but all these patients
keep getting sick.
Copy !req
80. There's no hospital here?
I mean, just the clinic?
Copy !req
81. Our nearest hospital is 80 miles,
in Green Cove.
Copy !req
82. - Did you walk here?
- His car broke down on Jones Road.
Copy !req
83. Oh. Well, my boy
is good with engines.
Copy !req
84. Sonny! He'll take care of you.
Copy !req
85. - Is the head doctor on duty now?
- Dr. Benton...
Copy !req
86. you are the doctor. And please
don't tell me that you're a dentist.
Copy !req
87. - Okay, sweetie. IKeep that...
- I'm a fifth-year Surgical Resident.
Copy !req
88. Oh, lord!
Copy !req
89. - Sonny, Dr. Benton's car broke down.
- Yeah, I seen it.
Copy !req
90. - Do you think you can fix it up?
- You're hurting.
Copy !req
91. - Get to bed.
- Well, I need to help him get settled.
Copy !req
92. No, no, no. You know what?
Copy !req
93. There are only a few patients here.
Copy !req
94. - What time do you close?
- When the last patient's gone.
Copy !req
95. Have you ever practiced medicine?
Copy !req
96. I can handle it.
Copy !req
97. - Let's go.
- All right, suit yourself.
Copy !req
98. Weather like this, folks sit out
here and you can see them inside.
Copy !req
99. I expect you'll find everything
where it should be and...
Copy !req
100. Everybody, this is Dr. Benton, from
Chicago. He'll take care of y'all.
Copy !req
101. All right. Who's next?
Copy !req
102. Bentons?
Copy !req
103. I don't recollect any Bentons.
Copy !req
104. My family's not from around here.
Copy !req
105. So, what can I do for you today?
Copy !req
106. Might have been some Bentons over
near Hattiesburg. I believe it's so.
Copy !req
107. There was the schoolteacher,
Benton, over to Winona.
Copy !req
108. She was a white lady.
Copy !req
109. Died of consumption.
Coughed herself to the grave.
Copy !req
110. Ms. Johnson, what is your complaint?
Copy !req
111. Oh, I ain't got no complaint.
Copy !req
112. No need to complain. Complaining
make it worse, what they say.
Copy !req
113. - Do you have a medical problem?
- No.
Copy !req
114. Just a burn.
Copy !req
115. Okay. Where's the burn?
Copy !req
116. I believe there are some Bentons
up off the riverfront.
Copy !req
117. Maybe "Benders."
Maybe they was Benders.
Copy !req
118. Benders.
Copy !req
119. Mr. McCoy?
Copy !req
120. Ruth Blalock?
Copy !req
121. - They left?
- It appears so.
Copy !req
122. - Jesse Morgan?
- That's me.
Copy !req
123. I figured I'd let you
look at my leg.
Copy !req
124. That's okay, Mr. Morgan.
You can stay seated.
Copy !req
125. Sorry it took so long.
Copy !req
126. - Pretty nasty looking ulcer.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
127. I tried mustard seed on it. That
usually stops my leg from aching.
Copy !req
128. No, you're gonna need
some antibiotics.
Copy !req
129. Stay off this foot and soak it three
times a day in warm water, okay?
Copy !req
130. Stay off it?
Copy !req
131. And soak it?
Copy !req
132. - Where do I put this, doctor?
- Excuse me?
Copy !req
133. I'm sorry. Put it on the counter.
We'll send it out to the lab...
Copy !req
134. or however it's done.
Do you have a phone number?
Copy !req
135. Oh, Maureen tells me on the spot.
Copy !req
136. You take this in the backroom
and you do your test.
Copy !req
137. - Mr. Morgan.
- Miss Pearl.
Copy !req
138. How about the greens?
You can pick out the hamhocks.
Copy !req
139. No, thank you.
I'll have another biscuit.
Copy !req
140. After Dr. Rajiv...
Copy !req
141. he lasted about a month...
Copy !req
142. we sort of gave up.
Copy !req
143. - It's hard to keep a doctor here.
- Well, I can see why.
Copy !req
144. - No offense.
- None taken.
Copy !req
145. We was fine until you tried
being more stubborn than the mare.
Copy !req
146. - Fractured your leg?
- My knee ligaments...
Copy !req
147. and a herniated cervical disc.
Copy !req
148. Guess it's lucky you don't mind lard.
Copy !req
149. I'm sorry you missed your son.
Copy !req
150. Well, had he gone to bed?
I heard you send your love.
Copy !req
151. No.
Copy !req
152. My son is deaf.
So the phone is of no use to us.
Copy !req
153. I'd arranged for a video-phone
hookup at the hospital in Minnesota.
Copy !req
154. - I guess you don't have one here, huh?
- Maybe, in Green Cove.
Copy !req
155. Now, did Sonny get you
settled in the trailer?
Copy !req
156. I don't work for him.
Copy !req
157. Maybe you saw the motor home
behind the clinic.
Copy !req
158. I'm afraid it's a little cozy
for a man your size but...
Copy !req
159. - It'll be fine.
- And take care when you open the door.
Copy !req
160. Or did you get it grounded, Sonny?
Copy !req
161. Damn!
Copy !req
162. Oh, shit!
Copy !req
163. Take the temperature every
four hours. Call me if...
Copy !req
164. Or see Dr. Benton at the clinic,
if it doesn't drop below 100...
Copy !req
165. by tomorrow.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
166. - Busy day?
- No, not at all.
Copy !req
167. - Since half my patients come here.
- It'll take time for...
Copy !req
168. some of them to accept you.
Copy !req
169. No, it won't. I'm not staying.
Copy !req
170. You don't need a surgeon.
Copy !req
171. If you're gonna get any rest,
you need a doctor that everyone...
Copy !req
172. can accept.
Copy !req
173. - This isn't just about race.
- I don't care what it's about.
Copy !req
174. So you only came for the money?
Copy !req
175. You can get by with a nurse.
Copy !req
176. - Sonny hasn't even fixed your car yet.
- It's okay. I'll find a ride.
Copy !req
177. So, thanks for the ride.
Copy !req
178. Best reason we've had
to go to work all year.
Copy !req
179. When we get to the dock,
you make sure every woman...
Copy !req
180. sees you getting out our truck!
Copy !req
181. All right!
Copy !req
182. Your Jake hears this, he won't
go out on no boat no time soon.
Copy !req
183. Amen to that.
Now tell me something.
Copy !req
184. - Now, is you really a doctor?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
185. - Take a look at Annie hand then.
- Becca, I'm driving.
Copy !req
186. Go on, show the man your hand.
Copy !req
187. - Has you ever seen the likes of that?
- It's a pretty bad infection.
Copy !req
188. The shrimps. They got
poisons in their head.
Copy !req
189. If I were you, I'd take antibiotics
and rest, give it time to heal.
Copy !req
190. Stop working?
Copy !req
191. Unless you gonna stow me
up to Chicago.
Copy !req
192. I don't think I could afford
to keep a woman like you.
Copy !req
193. Hold on. What's that?
Copy !req
194. Oh, hell!
Copy !req
195. Help! Help me!
Copy !req
196. Help me!
Copy !req
197. - Help him.
- Sir, sir. Lie down, I'm a doctor.
Copy !req
198. Branch caught in the throttle.
I couldn't...
Copy !req
199. get it out of gear.
- Don't move.
Copy !req
200. Russell. My boy. Find my son.
Copy !req
201. - Your son was with you?
- In my lap.
Copy !req
202. - Okay. I'll find him.
- He's only 4!
Copy !req
203. He couldn't have gone far.
Copy !req
204. Ladies, over here!
Copy !req
205. Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Copy !req
206. - I need you to drive to a phone.
- Nearest town's five miles.
Copy !req
207. - Sir! Do you have a phone?
- Yes!
Copy !req
208. Next driveway. My wife's home.
Copy !req
209. Go! Go! Call an ambulance!
Copy !req
210. Tell them it's a matter
of life or death!
Copy !req
211. Good morning, doctor.
Copy !req
212. Hey.
Copy !req
213. - Staying off that foot?
- Soaking it three times a day!
Copy !req
214. - What?
- Anyone tell you smoking kills you?
Copy !req
215. No! You the first.
Copy !req
216. - Adelina, you been shopping?
- What it look like?
Copy !req
217. - Got something for me?
- IKnow she do, Hubert.
Copy !req
218. Yeah. A smack upside your head.
Copy !req
219. Wait, you ain't showed us yet.
Copy !req
220. - And I ain't going to.
- That girl crazy.
Copy !req
221. I think it's looking
a lot better, Tavius.
Copy !req
222. Come back in a couple days.
We'll take it off then.
Copy !req
223. All right?
Copy !req
224. Did you decide not to go?
Copy !req
225. You can go and get some rest.
I'll take over.
Copy !req
226. Somebody's waiting for you.
Sally?
Copy !req
227. I'm Sally Mannon. We didn't get
a chance to meet last night.
Copy !req
228. - Oh, yeah. I saw you.
- She told me about the accident.
Copy !req
229. - So how's your husband and son?
- Fine, thanks to you.
Copy !req
230. I brought you a pie. Sweet 'tater.
I hope you like that.
Copy !req
231. Mrs. Mannon, are you kidding?
Copy !req
232. It's my favorite.
I'll dig in right now.
Copy !req
233. He gave my boy oxygen
all the way to Green Cove.
Copy !req
234. You bagged him for 80 miles?
Copy !req
235. In the back of a pickup.
Copy !req
236. This is delicious. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
237. It's the best thing I've had here.
Copy !req
238. I gotta go. God bless you.
Copy !req
239. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
240. You gonna stay, then?
Copy !req
241. It's not that busy.
Copy !req
242. That's because I make rounds
on Tuesdays.
Copy !req
243. - Rounds?
- House calls.
Copy !req
244. I heard one of the
Ebee girls is pregnant.
Copy !req
245. They live far out. I'm sure
she hasn't had any prenatal care.
Copy !req
246. I haven't done OB since med school.
Copy !req
247. - Well, never mind. I'll go.
- No, no, no. Look.
Copy !req
248. I'm not saying no.
I'll go if I can use your truck.
Copy !req
249. Sonny hasn't fixed my car yet.
Copy !req
250. You can't get there by car.
Copy !req
251. What y'all want?
Copy !req
252. I'm Dr. Benton.
Copy !req
253. Miss Chapman sent me
to check on your daughter.
Copy !req
254. She don't need checking.
Copy !req
255. That it?
Copy !req
256. All right. Hurry up before your pa
gets back. You know how he is.
Copy !req
257. - Go on. Hurry.
- Sir?
Copy !req
258. Doctor? Sir? If you don't mind...
Copy !req
259. I was feeling faint yesterday.
Copy !req
260. Want me to examine you?
Copy !req
261. Ma says you can check me out here.
Copy !req
262. Believe me. You don't want to go in.
Copy !req
263. I'm concerned about your blood
pressure. It's a little high.
Copy !req
264. Have you had other problems
besides dizziness?
Copy !req
265. A little bit of blood
came out last week.
Copy !req
266. Well, I'm no specialist.
But I think you should...
Copy !req
267. get an ultrasound and
blood tests in Green Cove.
Copy !req
268. What's going on?
Copy !req
269. Papa, Dr. Benton is looking after me.
Copy !req
270. This would be the doctor
for you, wouldn't it?
Copy !req
271. - Sir, your daughter needs some tests.
- She don't need nothing from you.
Copy !req
272. - Her blood pressure is elevated.
- Melanie Irene, get in.
Copy !req
273. Get this man off my property.
Copy !req
274. Melanie's had enough help
from his kind already.
Copy !req
275. See what the authorities say.
Copy !req
276. You can call the president
as far as I'm concerned.
Copy !req
277. Ain't nobody gonna tell me
how to do for my kid.
Copy !req
278. Reece.
Copy !req
279. The "A" hand knuckles rub
against one another...
Copy !req
280. in circles.
- Wash.
Copy !req
281. The prone right hand is drawn...
Copy !req
282. Wash your hands, Reece.
Copy !req
283. Reece, wash your hands.
Copy !req
284. Mr. Morgan?
Copy !req
285. Oh, morning, doctor.
Copy !req
286. - I told you to stay off that foot.
- And wash it three times a day.
Copy !req
287. Why are you walking on it?
Copy !req
288. I can't wash my foot
without water, now, can I?
Copy !req
289. Have a good day, doctor.
Copy !req
290. Your glucose level is too high.
What do you want it to be?
Copy !req
291. Adelina, answer the doctor.
Copy !req
292. Between 70 and 120, sir.
Copy !req
293. Nurse Maureen diagnosed
you a month ago.
Copy !req
294. You should have better control
over your diabetes.
Copy !req
295. You checking your glucose
level three times a day?
Copy !req
296. You check it after you
drank that soda?
Copy !req
297. - Adelina!
- I only took a sip.
Copy !req
298. That's one sip too many.
Copy !req
299. If her glucose isn't under control...
Copy !req
300. she'll damage her kidneys,
heart, even go blind.
Copy !req
301. She could have another seizure.
Copy !req
302. It was my fault for
not bringing her in.
Copy !req
303. I don't think highly of doctors
since we lost her mama.
Copy !req
304. Okay.
Copy !req
305. All right, you gonna show me
how to inject this?
Copy !req
306. No, sir.
Copy !req
307. All right. Well, I'll show you.
Copy !req
308. Been shopping?
Copy !req
309. Yeah. Thought I'd cook some
vegetables, if you don't mind.
Copy !req
310. Be fine.
Copy !req
311. How'd the clinic go?
Copy !req
312. Adelina Young came in with
a glucose level of 280.
Copy !req
313. Grandmother claims they haven't
gotten insulin or glucose strips.
Copy !req
314. - Oh, Lord!
- She doesn't understand the routine.
Copy !req
315. Adelina should've received
diabetic teaching.
Copy !req
316. - That's not gonna happen.
- Try a sub-Q insulin pump.
Copy !req
317. - Heard of those?
- Something newer than leeches?
Copy !req
318. Look...
Copy !req
319. I'm just trying to raise
the standard of care.
Copy !req
320. - We should expect 100o/o.
- I do.
Copy !req
321. - But I've learned to settle for 60o/o.
- 60o/o is failure.
Copy !req
322. - It takes time for...
- They've had a month!
Copy !req
323. Adelina is an athlete.
She's probably scared that...
Copy !req
324. this will end that.
- She could go into a coma!
Copy !req
325. - Don't you think I know that?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
326. Maureen! Maureen, you gotta come!
Copy !req
327. Something's wrong with Melanie!
Copy !req
328. She's been laboring
and the baby won't come!
Copy !req
329. - Dr. Benton?
- No, I want you, Maureen.
Copy !req
330. You're a damn fool, Eli.
I can't move that fast.
Copy !req
331. Just think of Melanie.
Copy !req
332. Well, come on.
Copy !req
333. - Oh, sweet Jesus!
- I need more light!
Copy !req
334. The generator's busted!
Get on outside! Go on!
Copy !req
335. Oh, Mama, help me!
Copy !req
336. Melanie, I need you to relax. Okay?
Copy !req
337. I know. I know. Come on.
Copy !req
338. I don't think the head is engaged.
Copy !req
339. Damn it! I feel the foot!
Copy !req
340. - What does that mean?
- The baby's upside-down.
Copy !req
341. - What are you doing?
- Looking up how to deliver this baby.
Copy !req
342. - You don't know?
- I'm a surgeon, not an OB.
Copy !req
343. - Any flashlights?
- A couple.
Copy !req
344. Get them! And blow out these candles!
I'm gonna use ether if I find it.
Copy !req
345. Okay, I need you to
breathe nice and easy.
Copy !req
346. - I can't!
- You're gonna have to try.
Copy !req
347. - What are you doing to her?
- She has to be sedated.
Copy !req
348. - A uterus rupture could kill her.
- I might, once I see the bastard.
Copy !req
349. - You hush!
- Mrs. Ebee...
Copy !req
350. hold this over her face,
letting it drip onto...
Copy !req
351. the mask like this.
- All right.
Copy !req
352. - She brought this on herself.
- Mr. Ebee, can you read?
Copy !req
353. - Of course I can.
- Go!
Copy !req
354. I need you to read off
this computer screen now.
Copy !req
355. You do it, Mama.
Copy !req
356. "Insert... the right hand...
Copy !req
357. into the ker... ker..."
- Cervix. Cervix.
Copy !req
358. Okay, that's it, come on, go on.
Copy !req
359. "Push the head...
Copy !req
360. and with the left hand external...
Copy !req
361. bring the rump down."
Copy !req
362. - "Rump."
- Stop.
Copy !req
363. - Okay, go on.
- "Lift the feet up...
Copy !req
364. and push the head...
Copy !req
365. over the...
Copy !req
366. pelvis rim."
Copy !req
367. Oh, damn it! All right.
Copy !req
368. Come on.
Copy !req
369. All right.
Copy !req
370. I got one foot out.
Copy !req
371. All right...
Copy !req
372. there's the other one.
Copy !req
373. - Damn it! Head's stuck.
- Oh, please, Jesus!
Copy !req
374. Okay, okay, come on.
Come on.
Copy !req
375. All right, we're almost there.
Copy !req
376. Okay, stop the drip.
Copy !req
377. Hey.
Copy !req
378. Okay, you got a granddaughter.
Copy !req
379. She looks just like an Ebee.
See, Eli?
Copy !req
380. I see.
Copy !req
381. Melanie's damn lucky.
Copy !req
382. How are you feeling?
Copy !req
383. Happy.
Copy !req
384. - Is my baby okay?
- Yeah, she's fine.
Copy !req
385. You know, from what your
father said, I have to ask:
Copy !req
386. Is there any chance the
baby's father is black?
Copy !req
387. - You see her baby. She's white.
- I know.
Copy !req
388. So you know, a lot of
African-American babies...
Copy !req
389. don't get full pigmentation
until a few days later.
Copy !req
390. So if there's any chance of that,
for both your safety...
Copy !req
391. you need to let me know.
Okay?
Copy !req
392. I got worried.
Copy !req
393. It was a breech.
Copy !req
394. Mother and baby are fine.
But...
Copy !req
395. I have to take them to LaVerne.
Copy !req
396. Not in my boat.
Copy !req
397. Hey, doc. Don't take off just yet.
Copy !req
398. Here.
Copy !req
399. There's no charge.
Copy !req
400. Maureen?
Copy !req
401. Much obliged, Eli.
Copy !req
402. - That took a lot for him to offer.
- I don't want his money.
Copy !req
403. The baby's jaundiced.
I hope they can stay at your house.
Copy !req
404. - Jaundice usually goes away.
- No.
Copy !req
405. Tell them that the mother
and baby have to be taken in.
Copy !req
406. How you doing?
Copy !req
407. I don't want to talk about it.
Copy !req
408. Good.
Copy !req
409. I didn't come here to talk.
Copy !req
410. Come on.
Copy !req
411. - Morning, doctor.
- How are you doing, Mr. Morgan?
Copy !req
412. Did you drop that big jug
of water off on my porch?
Copy !req
413. - Yeah.
- I sure want to thank you.
Copy !req
414. But I had to come to town anyway.
Copy !req
415. If I don't sit in this chair,
who's gonna do it?
Copy !req
416. Hey.
Copy !req
417. - Hi.
- You're on your feet again.
Copy !req
418. I only got your help
for a few more days.
Copy !req
419. Thought we could hold down the fort
here, and send you to the pharmacy.
Copy !req
420. How's the baby?
Copy !req
421. Her jaundice doesn't
appear any worse.
Copy !req
422. - Melanie's itching to go home.
- Sonny...
Copy !req
423. go get Dr. Benton his keys.
Copy !req
424. It's only been three days.
Copy !req
425. If the baby's pigment were gonna
darken, it would've started.
Copy !req
426. Probably.
Copy !req
427. It was smart, the way
you handled Ebee.
Copy !req
428. You know, you may have a flair
for country medicine after all.
Copy !req
429. - I don't think so.
- Oh, I don't either.
Copy !req
430. - I don't feel like driving 80 miles.
- Adelina and her grandma...
Copy !req
431. are willing to keep you company.
Copy !req
432. - She says she doesn't trust hospitals.
- Well, she must be sweet on you.
Copy !req
433. And I heard...
Copy !req
434. they have the video phone
hooked up.
Copy !req
435. Might could see your son.
Copy !req
436. Dr. Benton said the pump is better.
Copy !req
437. I'll consider giving you one if you...
Copy !req
438. learn to control your glucose...
Copy !req
439. by the time we get them.
How's that?
Copy !req
440. I'm a little more concerned
about another finding, though.
Copy !req
441. Dr. Benton, did you detect a
pansystolic murmur in Adelina?
Copy !req
442. - A murmur?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
443. I thought I appreciated a slight
murmur along the left sternal border.
Copy !req
444. - The echo shows a VSD.
- What's that?
Copy !req
445. No. I didn't listen to her chest.
Copy !req
446. - She was in for her diabetes.
- What's wrong?
Copy !req
447. - Adelina's heart has a small hole.
- A hole?
Copy !req
448. - From the diabetes?
- No, it's unrelated.
Copy !req
449. - She's probably had it since birth.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
450. It should be repaired
before it gets worse.
Copy !req
451. Excuse me.
Copy !req
452. - What does he mean by repaired?
- It's a simple surgery.
Copy !req
453. - I'm having surgery?
- I don't want her cut.
Copy !req
454. You never said I needed surgery.
Copy !req
455. - I missed it.
- Dr. Benton, call is ready.
Copy !req
456. Excuse me, please.
Copy !req
457. Reece, what are you laughing at?
Copy !req
458. Reece, come on.
Copy !req
459. Come on, wash your hands.
Copy !req
460. - Excuse me, Dr. Corday?
- Okay.
Copy !req
461. They're actually saying
that we've got to go now.
Copy !req
462. - Thanks, Elizabeth. Four more days.
- Right.
Copy !req
463. - I'll be home on Friday.
- He'll be thrilled to see you.
Copy !req
464. Okay, Reece. I gotta go. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
465. Bye-bye! Come on, Reece, say bye-bye.
Copy !req
466. You going home this Friday?
Copy !req
467. Yeah. But Dr. Brookes will
find you a good surgeon.
Copy !req
468. And what else is he gonna
find wrong with her?
Copy !req
469. Mrs. Deane, I know it's hard to plan
ahead, but if we could set the date...
Copy !req
470. I'll think it over.
Copy !req
471. - Yes, ma'am.
- You shouldn't put this thing off.
Copy !req
472. - What about next week?
- I'll think about it.
Copy !req
473. - But you will call Dr. Brookes, right?
- As soon as I can.
Copy !req
474. - That took a while.
- Ignorance, just ignorance.
Copy !req
475. There's no reason why a kid
in this century couldn't...
Copy !req
476. What happened?
Copy !req
477. - They found Jesse dead.
- Oh, man.
Copy !req
478. In front of Sugg's Store
after you left.
Copy !req
479. Was it MI? Why didn't you page me?
Copy !req
480. - It could've been his heart, a stroke.
- Or an embolism.
Copy !req
481. He said his leg ached and l...
Copy !req
482. - I should have checked him out.
- He was an old man.
Copy !req
483. There was nothing we could do.
Copy !req
484. God rest his soul. Funeral's Friday.
Copy !req
485. I've been saying Jesse wanted to
lay with his wife in our churchyard.
Copy !req
486. But he born a Catholic.
Copy !req
487. And I know he'd want
the sister to offer a prayer.
Copy !req
488. What sister?
Copy !req
489. May the angels lead you into paradise.
Copy !req
490. And may the martyrs come to welcome
you and take you to the Holy City...
Copy !req
491. the new and eternal Jerusalem.
Copy !req
492. And may the choir of angels
welcome you.
Copy !req
493. Where Lazarus is poor no longer,
may you have eternal rest.
Copy !req
494. Eternal rest, grant unto him,
O Lord.
Copy !req
495. And let perpetual life
shine upon him.
Copy !req
496. And may he rest in peace.
Copy !req
497. Goodbye, Jesse.
Copy !req
498. - Amen.
- Amen.
Copy !req
499. - You's a liar. You do not.
- I do too.
Copy !req
500. You just stick it and push
the insulin.
Copy !req
501. Adelina thinks she's gonna
be a doctor one day.
Copy !req
502. - Hubert!
- That's what you said.
Copy !req
503. What's wrong with that?
She'd make a fine doctor.
Copy !req
504. I changed my mind.
Copy !req
505. Oh, yeah? Why's that?
Copy !req
506. Because doctors act like they
know everything when they don't.
Copy !req
507. Yep.
Copy !req
508. We make mistakes.
Copy !req
509. I made a mistake with your diagnosis.
Copy !req
510. But I learned something...
Copy !req
511. just because of you.
Copy !req
512. I am sorry, Adelina.
Copy !req
513. It's okay.
Copy !req
514. Oh, that was for me?
Copy !req
515. If you're thinking of arguing with
Grandma Deane, I'd save my breath.
Copy !req
516. Adelina needs surgery.
I just can't leave.
Copy !req
517. Well, I'll work on her.
Copy !req
518. She'll come around.
Copy !req
519. Finished packing?
Copy !req
520. I appreciate you sticking it out here.
Copy !req
521. - I didn't do anything.
- What?
Copy !req
522. Well, maybe not by
Chicago-surgeon standards.
Copy !req
523. But you took good care of LaVerne.
Copy !req
524. I love this town.
Copy !req
525. I guess that's hard
for you to understand.
Copy !req
526. Yeah. Well, I'm not the
missionary type, you know?
Copy !req
527. Well, I never did well with
a doctor over my shoulder.
Copy !req
528. This is a good place for a nun
with authority issues.
Copy !req
529. What's your specialty gonna be?
Bet you've thought it out.
Copy !req
530. Five years ago I decided
to go into cardiothoracic.
Copy !req
531. Well, no wonder it stung you
to miss that heart murmur.
Copy !req
532. - I missed it too.
- Yeah, but you're a nurse.
Copy !req
533. Look out, now.
Copy !req
534. I don't know. This last year
I've been...
Copy !req
535. I've been distracted,
with my son and all.
Copy !req
536. - Well, it's not easy raising a child.
- Well, you would know that.
Copy !req
537. I've just had Sonny
the last few years.
Copy !req
538. I took him in when his folks died.
Copy !req
539. Being a parent's a full-time job.
Copy !req
540. Yeah. It's hard work but...
Copy !req
541. I love being with my son.
Copy !req
542. Oh, man.
Copy !req
543. Well, being with people.
It's as simple as that, isn't it?
Copy !req
544. And what a blessing when you...
Copy !req
545. can hear the sound
of your own heart.
Copy !req
546. - Shrimp boat blew down in South Port!
- How many hurt?
Copy !req
547. - I'm a doctor! How bad?
- Sank the boat.
Copy !req
548. Guy blew through the roof.
Boat's bringing him in.
Copy !req
549. - Pulled a guy out.
- Why's it there?
Copy !req
550. Raising the outriggers.
Copy !req
551. - How long?
- 15 minutes.
Copy !req
552. - Too long. Can you get me out there?
- IKenny's boat's right here.
Copy !req
553. Doc needs to get to the boat!
Copy !req
554. Round up a first-aid kit...
Copy !req
555. and fresh water!
Copy !req
556. - You got it!
- Go! Go!
Copy !req
557. Here we go. Nice and easy!
Copy !req
558. Maureen, we got two bad injuries:
Copy !req
559. A flailed chest with evisceration
and a partial amputation of the thigh.
Copy !req
560. Bottled water and two first-aid kits.
Copy !req
561. Lay them down over here.
Copy !req
562. Didn't secure their propane tank.
Rolled into the engine room...
Copy !req
563. hit the boiler. Whole boat blew.
Copy !req
564. If we stabilize the chest wall,
he'll breathe. Don't die on me.
Copy !req
565. I need a small fishing fly
and some leader.
Copy !req
566. Anyone have fishhook pliers?
Copy !req
567. - I got a needle-nose in my box.
- All right, go!
Copy !req
568. - Sonny!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
569. He's gonna die without your help.
I need some Saran Wrap.
Copy !req
570. - Saran Wrap?
- Right!
Copy !req
571. - What is that?
- Shrimp factory!
Copy !req
572. - Try them! Go!
- Where's the ice?
Copy !req
573. I got flies and leader here.
Copy !req
574. Peel the fur and feathers off
the small one.
Copy !req
575. Thread it and rub alcohol over it.
Copy !req
576. I need alcohol from the kit!
Maureen, how you doing?
Copy !req
577. Leg's ischemic. We don't get
the tourniquet off, he's losing it.
Copy !req
578. - Ice ain't that clean.
- Just pack it around his leg.
Copy !req
579. - How's yours holding up?
- I've got a faint pulse.
Copy !req
580. Where the hell is Sonny?
Copy !req
581. Here you go, Dr. Benton.
I had to steal it.
Copy !req
582. Listen carefully, I'm depending
on you. Over here.
Copy !req
583. I'm gonna stabilize his chest with
the Saran Wrap. Wrap it around him.
Copy !req
584. Here we go. Roll him.
Copy !req
585. Lift him up. Here we go. Let's go!
Copy !req
586. - Any gauze or bandages over there?
- I've used it up on this fellow.
Copy !req
587. - I need something to hold in his guts!
- My T-shirt?
Copy !req
588. Fine, take it off.
Here!
Copy !req
589. Here we go. You stay here.
Give me your hand.
Copy !req
590. There. As long as you
feel a pulse, he's alive.
Copy !req
591. - If it stops, let me know.
- Needle's threaded.
Copy !req
592. All right, you ready?
Copy !req
593. I'll tie the superficial
femoral artery...
Copy !req
594. to stop the bleeding.
Copy !req
595. Release the tourniquet slowly...
Copy !req
596. so I can isolate the artery
and clean out any clots.
Copy !req
597. Okay. Now, tighten the tourniquet.
Here we go.
Copy !req
598. - How are we doing there, Sonny?
- Breathing. Still has a pulse.
Copy !req
599. Good.
Copy !req
600. Good. Come on, cut!
Copy !req
601. - Nice work, Dr. Benton.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
602. You too.
Copy !req
603. Guess I ought to try
to borrow a shirt.
Copy !req
604. Sonny.
Copy !req
605. You did good today, man.
Copy !req
606. We were mighty lucky
there was a surgeon in town.
Copy !req
607. And I'm sorry you missed your flight.
Copy !req
608. Well, I'll catch one tomorrow.
Copy !req
609. You leaving so early?
Copy !req
610. Yeah. I gotta take care of something.
Copy !req
611. Hey, you're back.
Copy !req
612. So, how was it?
Copy !req
613. Different.
Copy !req
614. Congratulations.
Copy !req
615. Robert Romano told me
you're a shoo-in...
Copy !req
616. for a cardiothoracic
spot next year.
Copy !req
617. Cardiothoracic is a pretty
time-consuming specialty.
Copy !req
618. I have a son, you know?
Copy !req
619. What are you doing here anyway?
Copy !req
620. I'm visiting Jeanie.
Copy !req
621. Hey, Jeanie.
Copy !req
622. Peter, hey.
Copy !req
623. - How was the middle of nowhere?
- It wasn't bad.
Copy !req
624. - I didn't run into your family.
- Oh, well.
Copy !req
625. So...
Copy !req
626. - You had a setback, huh?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
627. The plasma will help. Damn it!
Copy !req
628. Peter, don't touch me.
For God's sake, I'm poison.
Copy !req
629. I can't do this.
Copy !req
630. I can't.
Copy !req
631. You can't do this alone.
Copy !req
632. Yeah?
Copy !req
