1. Previously on ER:
Copy !req
2. Dr. Carter, hi.
Copy !req
3. - As of today, I'm only an intern.
- I heard, I couldn't believe it.
Copy !req
4. Kerry, this is Dr. Dan Litvak.
Copy !req
5. Just here to get a few tips?
Copy !req
6. I had an interview
for the Chief position.
Copy !req
7. - Have you not told everyone?
- My son's deaf, I know.
Copy !req
8. - Don't you set policy?
- I'm here for the ride-along.
Copy !req
9. If he gets vomit in his lungs,
he could die of aspiration pneumonia.
Copy !req
10. Two of your classmates almost died.
Copy !req
11. It was stupid of me to think you
could take responsibility.
Copy !req
12. Doug, what are you doing? It's 5:00.
Copy !req
13. I'm a week behind
on my Q and A reports.
Copy !req
14. And that is the good news.
Copy !req
15. How long have you been up?
Copy !req
16. Haven't been to sleep.
Copy !req
17. Oh, God, anything I can do?
Copy !req
18. Go back to bed, no use
both of us being miserable.
Copy !req
19. No, it's Ionely there without you.
Copy !req
20. Keep that up, I'm never gonna finish.
Copy !req
21. Sorry.
Copy !req
22. Now I know how you felt
when you opened your clinic.
Copy !req
23. It's pretty scary, huh?
Copy !req
24. Are we both nuts?
Copy !req
25. Yeah.
Copy !req
26. But it's worth it.
Copy !req
27. Oh, Dr. Carter.
I didn't think you'd be up yet.
Copy !req
28. I left you a note.
Copy !req
29. I just wanted to tell you
how sorry I am that you lost...
Copy !req
30. your R.A. Job because Halloween...
- Me too.
Copy !req
31. I wondered if you thought it might
help if I wrote the dean a letter?
Copy !req
32. Thanks, I think you've
done enough already.
Copy !req
33. At least I could help pack.
I'm not on until 7:00.
Copy !req
34. - No, I can manage.
- Where will you live?
Copy !req
35. Ow!
Copy !req
36. That's my leg.
Copy !req
37. Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize you had company.
Copy !req
38. See you at the hospital.
Copy !req
39. I'm very glad you're moving.
Copy !req
40. So your beef is with nurses asking
stupid questions over the radio.
Copy !req
41. I'll say. Patients freak out when
someone asks if they got track marks.
Copy !req
42. All right, I'll talk to the nurses.
Copy !req
43. They asked me to remind you not to
restock your rig with their supplies.
Copy !req
44. Oh, man, that is so lame.
Copy !req
45. Nothing'll change unless we all throw
our gripes out on the table.
Copy !req
46. Want to get some breakfast
before we head back?
Copy !req
47. Definitely, I'm hungry.
I could use an omelet and...
Copy !req
48. - What was that?
- Gunfire. Came from behind us.
Copy !req
49. Looks like bangers.
Copy !req
50. Someone's down!
Copy !req
51. Unit 63, we have a possible GSW
on the 1600 block of Halsted.
Copy !req
52. Gunfire in the vicinity.
Copy !req
53. Why don't you back up?
Copy !req
54. We have to wait for a secure area.
Copy !req
55. I don't hear gunfire.
Copy !req
56. That doesn't mean
it won't start again.
Copy !req
57. - I'm not gonna wait in here.
- Protocol says we wait for backup.
Copy !req
58. Wait!
Copy !req
59. Damn it!
Copy !req
60. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
61. Did you hear that?
We should not be out here.
Copy !req
62. Doesn't mean they'll come back.
Give me a hand.
Copy !req
63. Is he shot?
Copy !req
64. There's no entrance wound.
He's beat up.
Copy !req
65. Ready to roll him? All right, go.
Copy !req
66. Stopped breathing, intubate.
Copy !req
67. - Not here, in the rig.
- Now!
Copy !req
68. There's too much blood, suction.
Copy !req
69. Morales, gurney!
Copy !req
70. - Can't see the cords.
- Want to crank his head back?
Copy !req
71. We have to clear the C-spine.
Copy !req
72. He's still not breathing.
Copy !req
73. Extend his neck.
Copy !req
74. You ER guys are nuts!
Copy !req
75. - Yes, I'm in.
- Okay.
Copy !req
76. Let's move him and bag him.
Copy !req
77. One, two, three.
Copy !req
78. I'm losing his pulse.
Copy !req
79. We have to start two large IVs.
Copy !req
80. You want to do that here too?
Copy !req
81. No, we'll do it while we're rolling.
Copy !req
82. Next time you decide to do
a ride-along, I'm taking a day off.
Copy !req
83. Lights and sirens, let's go!
Copy !req
84. Morning, what have we got?
Copy !req
85. Sixteen-year-old male found beaten.
Sustained concussion, contusions...
Copy !req
86. Head, neck and extremities.
BP's 140 over 80, pulse 110, regular.
Copy !req
87. Good air entry bilaterally.
No evidence of pneumothorax.
Copy !req
88. - Any I.D.?
- No, just a couple of bucks.
Copy !req
89. Everybody, on my count:
One, two, three.
Copy !req
90. - Cowboy Greene to the rescue.
- Babinski's normal.
Copy !req
91. - BP 120/78.
- Regular rate and rhythm.
Copy !req
92. - Spontaneous eye-opening.
- Okay, can you wiggle your toes?
Copy !req
93. Yep, follows commands.
Copy !req
94. - How's he doing?
- Stable, no apparent neurodeficits.
Copy !req
95. That was some crazy stunt.
Copy !req
96. You lucked out this time.
Copy !req
97. What was that all about?
Copy !req
98. Paramedics got perturbed,
I tubed him in the field.
Copy !req
99. Radiology's here.
Copy !req
100. So word is Dan Litvak
turned down ER Chief.
Copy !req
101. - What happened?
- He played the committee for patsies.
Copy !req
102. Used the offer to negotiate
a bigger salary back home.
Copy !req
103. I shouldn't tell you this,
but you're the only other candidate.
Copy !req
104. Really?
Copy !req
105. - "Cat lover seeks roommate."
- Forget it.
Copy !req
106. Would you consider joining
a communal vegetarian household?
Copy !req
107. All right, here's one: "Furnished
apartment in old townhome.
Copy !req
108. Access to full kitchen.
Many amenities."
Copy !req
109. - That sounds promising.
- And not far from the hospital.
Copy !req
110. I can set up an appointment
for you after work.
Copy !req
111. - All right, see you later.
- Bye.
Copy !req
112. Take a deep breath.
All right, blow hard. Hard!
Copy !req
113. - You all right?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
114. Pulse ox holding at 98.
Copy !req
115. I'm Dr. Greene.
Do you know what happened to you?
Copy !req
116. I was with a john.
Bangers tried to rob us.
Copy !req
117. And my john pulled a gun.
Copy !req
118. That's where I go blank.
Copy !req
119. Found you on the street.
Copy !req
120. Brought you here by ambulance.
Copy !req
121. Why were you cruising
in my neighborhood?
Copy !req
122. Sometimes I ride along
with paramedics.
Copy !req
123. You're the first guy
who's ever saved my life.
Copy !req
124. I don't go out in the street
for just anybody.
Copy !req
125. - Guess I gotta grant you a wish now.
- What?
Copy !req
126. Like I Dream of Jeannie, when Major
Nelson rescued her from a bottle.
Copy !req
127. Start with your name and age.
Copy !req
128. Kevin Delaney.
Copy !req
129. I'm 16 years old.
Copy !req
130. Lily, why don't you find
Kevin's labs...
Copy !req
131. and see if you can get us
an Exam Room.
Copy !req
132. Sure.
Copy !req
133. Where do you live?
Copy !req
134. Where you found me.
Copy !req
135. - Any family?
- None who want to know me.
Copy !req
136. Why is that?
Copy !req
137. Year ago my old man caught me...
Copy !req
138. having sex with my gymnastics
coach, he kicked me out of the house.
Copy !req
139. Any other details you want to hear?
Copy !req
140. So you survive by hustling.
Copy !req
141. Yeah, well, someone's gotta pay
the bills, right?
Copy !req
142. Use condoms?
Copy !req
143. Sometimes.
Copy !req
144. Customers pay more
to ride me bareback.
Copy !req
145. We have a new rapid HIV test.
Copy !req
146. You can get results in 20 minutes.
How about it?
Copy !req
147. You want to bet I'm positive?
Copy !req
148. Well, if you are, we can treat you.
Copy !req
149. Sure.
Copy !req
150. Looks like a good turnout
for the BP screening.
Copy !req
151. I posted signs at the Senior Center.
If it stops raining, we'll be jammed.
Copy !req
152. - Not so tight!
- I'm sorry, Mr. Levy...
Copy !req
153. but to get an accurate reading,
it has to be snug.
Copy !req
154. It's too damn tight!
Copy !req
155. Take it easy, I'll loosen it a bit.
Copy !req
156. My arm's gonna fall off.
Copy !req
157. Next time we should extend
the outreach.
Copy !req
158. Go into the community, take BPs.
What do you think?
Copy !req
159. That's not a bad idea.
Okay, your pressure's fine.
Copy !req
160. No thanks to you.
Copy !req
161. - Carol, you page me?
- Oh, yeah, I'll be right back.
Copy !req
162. What's up?
Copy !req
163. - I'm swamped here.
- I know, I know.
Copy !req
164. - A lab coat?
- Yes.
Copy !req
165. It's what every
division head should wear.
Copy !req
166. No backing out now.
Copy !req
167. What do you think?
Copy !req
168. - Come here.
- I thought you said you're busy.
Copy !req
169. - Not that busy.
- No?
Copy !req
170. Carter, you paged me?
Copy !req
171. Sixty-eight-year-old male with
a history of abdominal surgery.
Copy !req
172. I'm thinking small bowel obstruction.
Copy !req
173. - You do a three-way?
- Right here.
Copy !req
174. Air-fluid levels, and he's got
a stepladder pattern.
Copy !req
175. Good call.
Copy !req
176. - I must've driven you crazy.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
177. My student, she's driving me nuts.
Copy !req
178. Makes stupid mistakes.
Asks too many questions.
Copy !req
179. Shows poor judgment.
Copy !req
180. - How'd you put up with me?
- I never gave you any thought.
Copy !req
181. - You didn't?
- Medical students don't know anything.
Copy !req
182. It's your job to teach them,
not be their friend.
Copy !req
183. Exhale, Mrs. Delpit,
like you're blowing out candles.
Copy !req
184. Before listening with a stethoscope,
test for tactile fremitus.
Copy !req
185. By placing your hand
on the patient's back...
Copy !req
186. and asking her to repeat "99."
Copy !req
187. I haven't tested for that
since my first year.
Copy !req
188. I have to be sure that you
can do a complete exam.
Copy !req
189. All right.
Copy !req
190. Mrs. Delpit, will you please
repeat "99" for me.
Copy !req
191. Ninety-nine...
Copy !req
192. 99...
Copy !req
193. 99...
Copy !req
194. Blood alcohol level came back.
Copy !req
195. Did I set a record?
Copy !req
196. No, but it's up there, 0.16.
Copy !req
197. That's nothing, last time
I got picked up I scored a 26.
Copy !req
198. I also have your HIV results.
Copy !req
199. It's AIDS, right?
Copy !req
200. No, good news, you're negative.
Copy !req
201. I guess my johns don't need
rubbers after all.
Copy !req
202. I'm gonna charge them a fortune.
Copy !req
203. You won't stay negative
if you don't use protection.
Copy !req
204. Time to get your life together.
Copy !req
205. Yeah, I do kind of stink.
Copy !req
206. Do you think I could get a shower?
Maybe some clean clothes?
Copy !req
207. I'll have the nurses come
and take you to the shower room.
Copy !req
208. Care to join me?
Copy !req
209. No, thanks, I had one this morning.
Copy !req
210. Peter, hold on.
Have you got a moment?
Copy !req
211. Nope, I've got
a small bowel obstruction.
Copy !req
212. I know, I'm operating with you.
Meet your new intern.
Copy !req
213. - Since when?
- This morning, if you want.
Copy !req
214. - Go ahead, bring him in.
- Okay.
Copy !req
215. Was this Anspaugh's idea?
Copy !req
216. It was mine, but Anspaugh supports it.
Enthusiastically, I might add.
Copy !req
217. - I don't know.
- Come on, Peter.
Copy !req
218. Don't be a wet blanket.
Think, no more Dale Scott.
Copy !req
219. And you have the chance to work
with an alluring intern.
Copy !req
220. I'm not comfortable with that.
Copy !req
221. Why not? We've made a great team.
Copy !req
222. When we were both Residents.
Now I'd have to be your boss.
Copy !req
223. I don't mind if you don't.
Copy !req
224. I'll be accused of playing favorites
if I don't treat you like an intern.
Copy !req
225. I don't ask for special treatment...
Copy !req
226. just the chance to do something
more than pull drains.
Copy !req
227. Elizabeth, I don't think it'll be...
Copy !req
228. I don't think it'd be good for us.
Copy !req
229. All right, I'll think about it, okay?
Copy !req
230. You know what, you don't have to.
Copy !req
231. I already heard your answer.
Copy !req
232. Orange juice?
Copy !req
233. You want orange juice, Reece?
Is that what you want?
Copy !req
234. - Coffee, please.
- You want a sip?
Copy !req
235. - You guys taking a lunch break?
- Hey. Yeah.
Copy !req
236. Figured we'd get some air
since the rain stopped.
Copy !req
237. Yeah, me too.
Copy !req
238. He's getting so big.
You're gonna be...
Copy !req
239. tall like your daddy,
aren't you, huh?
Copy !req
240. I wasn't aware that Reece
had a hearing problem.
Copy !req
241. Yeah, we just found out recently.
He's deaf.
Copy !req
242. Come on, man.
Copy !req
243. What approach do you use
for language acquisition...
Copy !req
244. if you don't mind my asking?
Copy !req
245. We're working with an audiologist.
Copy !req
246. Have you looked into speech reading?
Copy !req
247. He has residual hearing.
I'm looking for an aggressive ENT...
Copy !req
248. who'll consider him
for a cochlear implant.
Copy !req
249. They'd have to destroy
his residual hearing.
Copy !req
250. Yeah, but the technology
is very advanced.
Copy !req
251. You should talk to Lisa Parks
at U of C.
Copy !req
252. She's an outstanding physician
and has expertise in this.
Copy !req
253. She's a friend of yours?
Copy !req
254. I'll give you her number.
She's cutting edge.
Copy !req
255. Thanks.
Copy !req
256. ER? Yep, hold on. Dr. Ross.
Copy !req
257. I'm busy here, Jerry.
Copy !req
258. They said it was urgent.
Copy !req
259. All right.
Copy !req
260. This is Dr. Ross.
Copy !req
261. You too, Carol.
Copy !req
262. Where are you?
Copy !req
263. I was just thinking about you.
Copy !req
264. I have to get my sugar checked!
Copy !req
265. Gotta go. What's the problem?
Copy !req
266. That other nurse said
I have to come back.
Copy !req
267. I have sugar diabetes.
Copy !req
268. I schlepped all the way here
on a bus in the rain...
Copy !req
269. and she says I need an appointment!
Copy !req
270. - Now, what is that?
- Okay, hang on.
Copy !req
271. Did you tell Mr. Levy he'd need
an appointment for his blood check?
Copy !req
272. Did he give you that song
about taking the bus?
Copy !req
273. - He's got other complaints.
- Ladies, I hate to interrupt...
Copy !req
274. but I haven't had a bite
to eat all day.
Copy !req
275. I have sugar diabetes. Hello?
Copy !req
276. Okay, Mr. Levy,
I'll test your blood glucose once...
Copy !req
277. without an appointment.
Then we'll get you food.
Copy !req
278. - You're an angel.
- Okay.
Copy !req
279. Hope you got all afternoon.
Copy !req
280. How did the accident happen, Kate?
Copy !req
281. I lost it on gravel
coming down through a turn.
Copy !req
282. Your dad said
you hit a curb and then fell.
Copy !req
283. She fell onto the curb
after slipping on gravel.
Copy !req
284. Okay, have a seat.
Copy !req
285. You might have a fracture.
Copy !req
286. I'll call Ortho after we get an x-ray.
We'll be right back.
Copy !req
287. Have Medical Records send up
any old charts.
Copy !req
288. Good idea.
Copy !req
289. You feel any pain when I press here?
Copy !req
290. Yeah, a lot.
Copy !req
291. - When did you first feel the pain?
- In the shower.
Copy !req
292. You had a blow to your leg.
Could be a blood clot.
Copy !req
293. That's no big deal.
I've had them before.
Copy !req
294. - You have?
- Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
295. I've got a protein S deficiency.
My blood clots all the time.
Copy !req
296. Should've seen the mother
I had a year ago.
Copy !req
297. I wish you would've told me
your history before.
Copy !req
298. I can't take care of you
if you're not straight.
Copy !req
299. I can't be straight.
Copy !req
300. Guess you want to order
a coag panel...
Copy !req
301. and clotting studies,
and start a heparin drip?
Copy !req
302. When was the last time
you were hospitalized?
Copy !req
303. Right before I took off from home.
Copy !req
304. All right, I'm gonna
start you on the heparin.
Copy !req
305. Then we're gonna move
to the Coumadin...
Copy !req
306. before you're to be discharged.
- No, I'm not taking Coumadin.
Copy !req
307. Why not? You have a disease requiring
you to take a blood thinner forever.
Copy !req
308. Coumadin and the streets don't mix.
You ought to know that.
Copy !req
309. You don't want me back,
bleeding my brains out...
Copy !req
310. because I got drunk
and hit my head.
Copy !req
311. You'd rather die of a blood clot?
Copy !req
312. I don't sweat it, why should you?
Copy !req
313. How much insulin did you take,
Mr. Levy?
Copy !req
314. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
315. The lady who used to come
always gave it to me.
Copy !req
316. She also used to trim my toenails.
I think one of them is infected.
Copy !req
317. I got pain in my left side.
Copy !req
318. Mr. Levy's still here.
Copy !req
319. Apparently, he took too much insulin.
His blood sugar is 61.
Copy !req
320. I told you I needed to have
my blood checked.
Copy !req
321. Look, you were right.
I'm really stuck.
Copy !req
322. His home health aide took a new job.
Copy !req
323. - Any family?
- No.
Copy !req
324. His wife died last year.
No one else in town.
Copy !req
325. We could try to get
a temporary placement...
Copy !req
326. until we find a new aide.
Copy !req
327. I'm not going to a nursing home!
Copy !req
328. Just temporarily, Mr. Levy.
Copy !req
329. The desk guy said Mr. Levy's here?
Copy !req
330. - You got my Kung Pao?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
331. - Egg rolls?
- Yes, sir, all right here.
Copy !req
332. - That's $8.50.
- Very reasonable.
Copy !req
333. - You ordered Chinese?
- She said I needed to eat.
Copy !req
334. - I'll get my wallet.
- Why don't you make it an even 10?
Copy !req
335. Where's my fortune cookie?
Copy !req
336. I was just wondering...
Copy !req
337. am I gonna get to work
with other ER Residents?
Copy !req
338. Why, is there a problem?
Copy !req
339. No, I just thought I'll learn more
by working with a variety of teachers.
Copy !req
340. That's up to the Attendings.
Copy !req
341. Why don't you tell me
about this patient?
Copy !req
342. Brad Enloe, 12,
history of recurrent leukemia.
Copy !req
343. Relapsed after
second induction of chemo.
Copy !req
344. He's here today for a fever
and a sore throat.
Copy !req
345. Poor kid's been through a lot.
Copy !req
346. It's our job to treat the patient,
not feel sorry for him.
Copy !req
347. Hi, Brad, I'm Dr. Carter.
This is my student, Lucy Knight.
Copy !req
348. I hear your throat hurts.
Copy !req
349. Yeah, it started this morning.
Copy !req
350. He had a temp of 101.
Copy !req
351. Check for cervical adenopathy...
Copy !req
352. and look for infection,
particularly in the ears and throat.
Copy !req
353. - Does that hurt?
- Kind of.
Copy !req
354. It's probably just a virus,
Mrs. Enloe.
Copy !req
355. I'm gonna give Brad some ibuprofen,
and check his blood count.
Copy !req
356. He's a candidate
for immunotoxin therapy.
Copy !req
357. But unfortunately, he has
to be hospitalized to get the drug...
Copy !req
358. and our insurance turned him down.
They won't pay for experiments.
Copy !req
359. If his neutrophil count
comes back under 500...
Copy !req
360. we'll admit him for antibiotics.
Copy !req
361. He could get immunotoxins on the side.
Copy !req
362. Is that a possibility?
Copy !req
363. Why don't we cross that bridge
when we have the results?
Copy !req
364. Does your clinic have any information
about shelters for runaways?
Copy !req
365. - This for the kid you saved?
- You heard?
Copy !req
366. I thought you were smoothing
things out between ER and paramedics.
Copy !req
367. - I got a little carried away.
- Doesn't matter, you're a hero.
Copy !req
368. - Yeah, if I don't kill him.
- What?
Copy !req
369. He's got a clotting disorder.
Copy !req
370. If I give him a blood thinner,
he could die in the street.
Copy !req
371. If I don't treat him,
he could die of a clot.
Copy !req
372. Oh, God, between a rock
and a hard place?
Copy !req
373. Here's a pamphlet for a shelter
that takes in street kids.
Copy !req
374. - Think you'll convince him?
- We'll see.
Copy !req
375. - Good luck.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
376. Mr. Preston, can I talk to you?
Copy !req
377. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
378. I got Kate's old records. There's
a pattern that needs explaining.
Copy !req
379. She wasn't riding a bicycle.
It's not what you're thinking.
Copy !req
380. What is it?
Copy !req
381. She was riding a unicycle.
Copy !req
382. - A unicycle?
- Backwards, playing the violin.
Copy !req
383. We were trying to break
a Guinness World Record.
Copy !req
384. I didn't want word to get out.
Copy !req
385. - And her split lip two months ago?
- Balancing glasses on her chin.
Copy !req
386. - Knife cuts?
- We broke the potato-peeling record.
Copy !req
387. Kate and I went through tough times.
Copy !req
388. I was looking for things we could
do together. It sounds crazy...
Copy !req
389. but I found a three-legged marathon
we could enter.
Copy !req
390. We won, and we kind of got hooked,
started breaking all kinds of records.
Copy !req
391. May I help you?
Copy !req
392. Yeah, I'm Peter Benton from County.
Kerry Weaver referred me.
Copy !req
393. I'm Sara Jackson. She's with
a patient. I'll introduce you.
Copy !req
394. Excuse me, on the door
it says "Family Medicine."
Copy !req
395. I thought she was a surgeon.
Copy !req
396. No, she has a family practice.
Copy !req
397. Hi, I'm Dr. Benton. Listen,
don't let me interrupt your patient.
Copy !req
398. No, that's not a problem.
I'm happy that you came over.
Copy !req
399. I'm sorry, there must be
some misunderstanding.
Copy !req
400. No, Kerry told me about your son.
Copy !req
401. I'd be happy to discuss cochlear
implants, and other options too.
Copy !req
402. I guess she didn't tell you
I was deaf, huh?
Copy !req
403. No, she didn't.
Copy !req
404. Dr. Parks asked that when you speak
to her, you look directly at her...
Copy !req
405. so she can read lips.
Copy !req
406. Oh, I'm sorry. Look, I said,
I didn't know you were deaf.
Copy !req
407. That's all right.
Copy !req
408. Can we talk?
Do you have time for some coffee?
Copy !req
409. Yeah, all right, yeah.
Copy !req
410. Just let me finish up with
this patient, and then we'll all go.
Copy !req
411. Great.
Copy !req
412. You must be very confused trying
to decide what's best for your son.
Copy !req
413. Look, I want my son to be able
to function in the world.
Copy !req
414. As you can see, I function
pretty well without an implant.
Copy !req
415. Yeah, but if an implant can help
him to hear, why not get one?
Copy !req
416. Well, there are other options.
Copy !req
417. Look, I don't want my son to have
to depend on others, no offense.
Copy !req
418. Do you know any deaf people?
Copy !req
419. No, I don't.
Copy !req
420. Have you ever thought that being deaf
might not be so terrible?
Copy !req
421. So you're saying there's no problem?
Copy !req
422. You can never know
what it's like being deaf.
Copy !req
423. Just like I can never know
what it's like being black.
Copy !req
424. I don't look at me being black
as a burden. That's who I am.
Copy !req
425. And I don't look at my deafness
as a burden. That's who I am.
Copy !req
426. If you turn away
from your son's deafness...
Copy !req
427. you will be robbing him
of his identity.
Copy !req
428. My son has a medical problem.
Copy !req
429. I'm not turning away,
I'm trying to fix it.
Copy !req
430. Late for a meeting?
Copy !req
431. If I can get through
this administrative hellhole...
Copy !req
432. maybe I'll get to see
a few kids again.
Copy !req
433. You can do it, keep going.
Copy !req
434. You're doing great, Dad.
Copy !req
435. Beats juggling cantaloupes.
Copy !req
436. Two hours he's been at it,
hasn't dropped one yet.
Copy !req
437. The orthopedic surgeon is gonna
come and examine your wrist.
Copy !req
438. Is it all right if I watch
my dad till he gets here?
Copy !req
439. He's trying to break
the juggling record.
Copy !req
440. Kate, did your dad force you
to ride that unicycle?
Copy !req
441. Force me? Oh, no, it was my idea.
Copy !req
442. You've had a lot of injuries.
Copy !req
443. Dad and I always take
Guinness-approved precautions.
Copy !req
444. If you're gonna be a record breaker,
you gotta take chances.
Copy !req
445. Play it safe and life's boring.
Copy !req
446. Here's when we broke the marathon.
That's me and Dad, we're in the book.
Copy !req
447. I'll give you Accutane for the acne.
Copy !req
448. But you'll need birth control pills.
Copy !req
449. Birth control pills?
Copy !req
450. Accutane is a very effective
medication.
Copy !req
451. But if you were to get pregnant,
it could cause terrible birth defects.
Copy !req
452. I won't have sex, I promised my mom.
Copy !req
453. I believe you, Nava...
Copy !req
454. but it's my policy to give birth
control to girls who take Accutane.
Copy !req
455. My mom won't let me take them.
Copy !req
456. Have her call me.
I'll explain it to her.
Copy !req
457. I don't think she'll change her mind.
Copy !req
458. Okay, then...
Copy !req
459. I can't give you this medication.
Copy !req
460. - Brought you these.
- Thanks. What's that?
Copy !req
461. You might want to read about...
Copy !req
462. advances on protein S deficiency.
Copy !req
463. Hey, look, I like you,
but I'm really not worth it.
Copy !req
464. There's a list of homeless shelters.
Copy !req
465. If you can't go home,
you might as well go to one.
Copy !req
466. There you can take your Coumadin.
Copy !req
467. Then what?
Maybe get a job at McDonald's?
Copy !req
468. You're a smart guy.
You get a GED, maybe go to college.
Copy !req
469. - Look, what's the use?
- Would you rather die on the streets?
Copy !req
470. You know, you're cute
when you get angry.
Copy !req
471. Is that the only way you can relate
to me, by turning me into a customer?
Copy !req
472. Okay, I'll read them.
Copy !req
473. Anything for you.
Copy !req
474. Hey, can you write me a scrip
for birth control pills?
Copy !req
475. That young lady decided
to take them after all?
Copy !req
476. Yeah, she said she would.
Copy !req
477. You know...
Copy !req
478. you have no business
giving her birth control pills...
Copy !req
479. since she and her mom
don't want them.
Copy !req
480. And what if she got pregnant?
Copy !req
481. You heard, she's not sexually active.
Copy !req
482. She's a teenager, that doesn't
guarantee she's not gonna have sex.
Copy !req
483. You are undermining her choice.
Copy !req
484. Giving her the pills
isn't gonna make her have sex.
Copy !req
485. Listen, how would you feel
if you were that girl...
Copy !req
486. and a white nurse
said she didn't trust you?
Copy !req
487. I wouldn't like it
no matter what color.
Copy !req
488. All I'm saying is, you don't know
that girl or her mother.
Copy !req
489. You're volunteering to talk to her?
Copy !req
490. No, I just think it's wrong for you
to force birth control on the girl.
Copy !req
491. Well, maybe.
But I'm not gonna take any chances.
Copy !req
492. Dr. Carter, labs are back on
Brad Enloe. You should look at them.
Copy !req
493. His neutrophil count's over 1000.
Copy !req
494. - We can't admit him.
- He's not septic.
Copy !req
495. Right, he's only dying of leukemia.
Copy !req
496. He vomited after I gave him ibuprofen.
Copy !req
497. - Really?
- Yep.
Copy !req
498. - When?
- Couple of minutes ago.
Copy !req
499. He's dehydrated.
We're gonna admit him.
Copy !req
500. Call upstairs, tell them we have
an admit for Pedes.
Copy !req
501. - He only vomited once.
- I know, make the call.
Copy !req
502. - He needs to be rehydrated.
- I can start an IV.
Copy !req
503. You shouldn't do one on the kid.
Copy !req
504. - I can do it.
- Been through chemo.
Copy !req
505. His veins are sclerosed.
Not this one.
Copy !req
506. - Hey, Doug.
- Hey!
Copy !req
507. Write me a scrip
for birth control?
Copy !req
508. - Thought you swore it off.
- For a patient.
Copy !req
509. - When did you hear?
- Half-hour ago.
Copy !req
510. Hey, Mark.
Copy !req
511. Whenever you have a minute?
Copy !req
512. Yeah, I'll be right there.
Copy !req
513. Kerry knows this ER better than
anybody we'd hire.
Copy !req
514. I agree, but the committee wants
a star with a reputation...
Copy !req
515. who can bring in grants.
Copy !req
516. - Mark, trauma's pulling up.
- I'll tell her.
Copy !req
517. You sure? Mark, no sense in telling
Kerry she was our second choice.
Copy !req
518. Only disappoint her even more.
Copy !req
519. Right.
Copy !req
520. - Here we go, here we go.
- What the hell?
Copy !req
521. Brothers got into a fight
on the expressway...
Copy !req
522. lost control.
I've never seen such a mess.
Copy !req
523. - You idiot, I said turn left.
- Sorry, Marcus.
Copy !req
524. You jackass.
Can't believe I let you drive.
Copy !req
525. You never watch the road.
Copy !req
526. Eddy and Marcus Haney, carpet-layers.
Carpet cement spilled all over them.
Copy !req
527. - Stuck to their seat.
- You get stuck, you're on your own.
Copy !req
528. - You're a moron, you know that?
- Just relax.
Copy !req
529. How can I relax
when that idiot did this?
Copy !req
530. Okay, pulse is strong.
Pupils react to light.
Copy !req
531. Lydia, get me a glove change here.
Copy !req
532. This stuff is like taffy.
How's he doing?
Copy !req
533. What is that?
Copy !req
534. Got an impalement of some kind.
Copy !req
535. Oh, my God! It looks like
some kind of tool with sharp prongs.
Copy !req
536. Not the hand stretcher?
Copy !req
537. - Four-by-fours.
- Eddy?
Copy !req
538. Just don't move so much.
Copy !req
539. - We're gonna take care of him.
- Oh, man!
Copy !req
540. Bleeding man here.
Let's take him to Trauma!
Copy !req
541. Gently.
Copy !req
542. - Malik, try and get monitor leads on.
- How?
Copy !req
543. Get a tongue depressor,
scrape off a few spots.
Copy !req
544. Why did Eddy stop talking?
Copy !req
545. Hold still.
If you move, you'll kill him.
Copy !req
546. - Pulse ox falling.
- Stand by with intubation.
Copy !req
547. I'll get a tray and an 8.0 ET tube.
Copy !req
548. Covering Dr. Benton, need consult?
Copy !req
549. We've got an impalement.
Watch out for the glue.
Copy !req
550. - Lucy, have you ever intubated?
- No, but I'd like to.
Copy !req
551. Pretty tough intubation.
Copy !req
552. Let's find out, talk her through.
Copy !req
553. Great.
Copy !req
554. Runs of PVCs when he's jostled...
Copy !req
555. from the tool against the heart.
Carter, get the crash cart.
Copy !req
556. - Lydia?
- On it.
Copy !req
557. Malik, we need the cutter down here
as fast as you can.
Copy !req
558. Hang in there, Eddy, all right?
You're gonna be okay.
Copy !req
559. Carter, I need you here...
Copy !req
560. and carefully pull Marcus away
so that Lucy has room to intubate.
Copy !req
561. - Can you get in?
- Yeah, a little more.
Copy !req
562. Lydia, snap some pictures.
Copy !req
563. New policy: We're documenting
our interesting traumas.
Copy !req
564. Take her through it.
Copy !req
565. All right, pass the tube.
Copy !req
566. Not too far.
Copy !req
567. All right, take out the scope.
Copy !req
568. Pull the stylet.
Copy !req
569. Confirm your position.
Copy !req
570. I'm in.
Copy !req
571. Good job.
Copy !req
572. Lets call Respiratory for a vent.
Copy !req
573. I hear good breath sounds.
Copy !req
574. - He's in SVT!
- We need to shock him.
Copy !req
575. Not while they're attached.
Try Adenocard.
Copy !req
576. Please save my brother.
Copy !req
577. - Carter, let go.
- I'm stuck!
Copy !req
578. Charging, 200!
Copy !req
579. Get out of your gloves and gown.
Copy !req
580. - My beard is stuck.
- Got the cutters.
Copy !req
581. Pull back, Carter.
Copy !req
582. I need some exposed skin!
Copy !req
583. I'm stuck!
Copy !req
584. Clear!
Copy !req
585. Got a pulse!
Copy !req
586. Good job, everybody.
Let's get him to the O.R.
Copy !req
587. - Still want pictures?
- Might as well.
Copy !req
588. Carter?
Copy !req
589. Carter, you all right?
Copy !req
590. Yeah, I think so.
Copy !req
591. Thank you for saving my brother.
Copy !req
592. Just doing our job.
We need to extricate Dr. Carter.
Copy !req
593. So, Lucy, why don't you start
with his beard?
Copy !req
594. He was juggling while on
a pogo stick?
Copy !req
595. - Yeah, a guy in Zurich.
- What about while skydiving?
Copy !req
596. Isabella from Tangiers holds
the record for juggling five balls.
Copy !req
597. How long has he been at it?
Copy !req
598. - For over 31/2 hours.
- What's the record?
Copy !req
599. Eleven hours, four minutes,
22 seconds.
Copy !req
600. It's in the book.
Kate's documenting the event.
Copy !req
601. This could be our first time on TV.
Copy !req
602. Less than eight hours to go.
Copy !req
603. - Dad!
- Jerry, watch out!
Copy !req
604. Congratulations, never thought
you'd unstick the glue brothers.
Copy !req
605. - Guess you can fix about anything?
- We try.
Copy !req
606. I got a call.
You picked up a kid, Delaney?
Copy !req
607. - We got a warrant for his arrest.
- What for?
Copy !req
608. Parole violation,
prostitution, the usual.
Copy !req
609. How long do you expect to keep him?
Copy !req
610. Hard to say, we're treating him
for blood clotting.
Copy !req
611. Call when you release him.
We'll pick him up.
Copy !req
612. Yeah, I'm a doctor, I'm not a cop.
Copy !req
613. He needs a second chance.
Copy !req
614. I'm a cop, not a social worker.
Copy !req
615. You do your job, I'll do mine.
Copy !req
616. If he gets beat up in jail,
he'll bleed to death.
Copy !req
617. If I don't pick him up,
somebody else will.
Copy !req
618. I have a sitter to guard him
until his discharge.
Copy !req
619. Good job on the trauma.
Copy !req
620. - You came pretty close.
- We'll try again later.
Copy !req
621. - Hey.
- Hi.
Copy !req
622. Kate ready to be discharged?
Copy !req
623. Bring her back for a cast check.
Copy !req
624. - No jumping around?
- Not for six weeks.
Copy !req
625. - Thank you for being so kind.
- You're welcome.
Copy !req
626. - Thanks.
- Okay, bye.
Copy !req
627. I'll miss the event at the pier.
Copy !req
628. Sorry, sweetheart.
You want to go watch?
Copy !req
629. - I guess.
- Okay.
Copy !req
630. Brad's bed is ready.
Copy !req
631. I've written orders for Oncology
to continue to rehydrate him.
Copy !req
632. Thank you, Dr. Carter.
Copy !req
633. You should feel fine in a couple days.
Copy !req
634. - Good luck with your treatment.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
635. - Malik, can you take him up?
- Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
636. He isn't dehydrated, is he?
Copy !req
637. He vomited, I gave him fluids.
Copy !req
638. What will Oncology say?
Copy !req
639. All they want is a diagnosis
for his admission.
Copy !req
640. I gave them one.
Copy !req
641. Can you give him an IV?
Copy !req
642. Was the only way to admit him.
Copy !req
643. - So you lied?
- Technically, yeah.
Copy !req
644. Sometimes you gotta work the system.
Copy !req
645. You lied?
Copy !req
646. I didn't know you were there.
Copy !req
647. Is it true Brad's not dehydrated?
Copy !req
648. It's a way for him to get chemo.
Copy !req
649. What if my insurance finds out?
Copy !req
650. - I see no reason why they should.
- I do, they've challenged claims.
Copy !req
651. If they find out,
Brad loses his coverage.
Copy !req
652. Then what do we do
when his leukemia gets worse?
Copy !req
653. I don't see another
way of going about doing this.
Copy !req
654. I'll talk to you later.
Copy !req
655. Cop stopped by earlier.
Copy !req
656. Still wants to take you in
after I discharge you.
Copy !req
657. - What did you tell him?
- That you were sick.
Copy !req
658. - Are they gonna put me in juvie?
- They want to.
Copy !req
659. I can't go back there.
I'm a punching bag for those guys.
Copy !req
660. I know.
Copy !req
661. I gotta tell you, getting heparinized
is the best treatment.
Copy !req
662. Great. Listen, I can't stick
around here if the cops are coming.
Copy !req
663. Figured you'd say that.
Copy !req
664. Are you setting me up?
Copy !req
665. If your leg starts to hurt or gets
swollen, you have to come back.
Copy !req
666. Here's 50 bucks and my pager number.
Copy !req
667. Coumadin and a list of shelters.
Copy !req
668. I never promised you I'd take that.
Copy !req
669. I know.
Copy !req
670. Maybe I'll see you around?
Copy !req
671. Hey, Peter, you missed a great trauma.
Copy !req
672. Yeah? I was out talking to Dr. Parks.
Copy !req
673. What did you think of her?
Copy !req
674. She had the audacity to say Reece
should be with deaf kids more than me.
Copy !req
675. Yeah, I should've warned you.
Lisa has very strong opinions.
Copy !req
676. Opinions?
Copy !req
677. Well, she doesn't mind being deaf.
She doesn't want to be cured.
Copy !req
678. I thought you'd want
to see what she's achieved.
Copy !req
679. I don't want my son to live
with a defect if I can help it.
Copy !req
680. "Defect"?
Copy !req
681. What do you mean by that?
Copy !req
682. It means, what I do with
my son is my business.
Copy !req
683. Be sure and let me know
how things work out.
Copy !req
684. God bless you, sweetheart.
Copy !req
685. I thought the nursing home said
they wouldn't have a bed.
Copy !req
686. Stan's not going there.
What you said earlier was right.
Copy !req
687. We need to know the patient's
community. I called his temple.
Copy !req
688. Another member with diabetes
said he'd stay with him.
Copy !req
689. - Good idea.
- Doesn't hurt to do a little outreach.
Copy !req
690. Mr. KIoner will be staying with you.
Copy !req
691. What's that son of a bitch doing here?
Copy !req
692. I should have known.
Copy !req
693. I spit on your grave!
Copy !req
694. I'll see you dead first!
Copy !req
695. You owe me $20,000 for
that time-share in Florida!
Copy !req
696. It's a shack in a swamp!
Copy !req
697. There you are. I've been looking
everywhere for you.
Copy !req
698. I'm late for an appointment...
Copy !req
699. What happened with Brad?
Copy !req
700. His mom took him home.
She decided not to risk it.
Copy !req
701. - I'm sorry to hear that.
- Me too.
Copy !req
702. I wouldn't have asked questions
if you'd told me what you were doing.
Copy !req
703. I'm sorry that you thought
it was your business to ask me.
Copy !req
704. What's going to happen?
Copy !req
705. He's gonna die.
Copy !req
706. Mark, I was putting together
a year-long ER coverage schedule.
Copy !req
707. Good.
Copy !req
708. Kerry, I want to talk to you.
Copy !req
709. Is it about the Chief position?
Copy !req
710. The executive committee has decided
to reopen the search.
Copy !req
711. The committee feels that they need a
candidate with a national reputation.
Copy !req
712. Personally, I think it stinks.
Copy !req
713. Well, that's that.
Copy !req
714. You're not out of the running, Kerry.
Copy !req
715. - They just reopened the search.
- No.
Copy !req
716. And I'm not interested
in continuing as Interim Chief.
Copy !req
717. - Who's gonna do it?
- Not my problem.
Copy !req
718. I shouldn't have yelled,
but he's so damn sensitive.
Copy !req
719. Hold still, Marcus.
Copy !req
720. Hey, welcome back.
Copy !req
721. I hear I missed quite a trauma.
Copy !req
722. You certainly did.
Copy !req
723. It's all my fault.
Eddy was driving, and I upset him.
Copy !req
724. I was just upstairs.
They finished the surgery.
Copy !req
725. They repaired your brother's heart.
Copy !req
726. Oh, thank God!
Copy !req
727. It was Dr. Corday here
who freed him just in time.
Copy !req
728. Well, that doesn't surprise me.
Copy !req
729. She's an excellent doctor.
Copy !req
730. When you're finished with Marcus,
we'll grab dinner.
Copy !req
731. I beg your pardon?
Copy !req
732. You're my new intern.
I just gave you an order.
Copy !req
733. Would you excuse us for a moment?
Copy !req
734. Peter, are you sure?
Copy !req
735. Elizabeth, you're no intern.
Copy !req
736. You'll still have to do scut work
and take call every third night.
Copy !req
737. But you'll have your patients
and can operate.
Copy !req
738. Thank you.
Copy !req
739. Yeah, don't mention it.
Copy !req
740. - I'll see you later.
- Aren't you on tonight?
Copy !req
741. Yeah, I am.
Copy !req
742. Sure you don't want something
to eat from Doc Magoo's?
Copy !req
743. No, that's all right.
I got indigestion there at lunch.
Copy !req
744. What are you doing?
Copy !req
745. I opened my big mouth.
Copy !req
746. I told Anspaugh that Pedes ER
was running at peak capacity.
Copy !req
747. Now he wants me to give a detailed
analysis of the daily census.
Copy !req
748. When will you be home?
Copy !req
749. Around April.
Copy !req
750. I won't wait up then.
Copy !req
751. - Good night.
- Good night.
Copy !req
752. Hey, doc, where are you headed?
Copy !req
753. Home, you?
Copy !req
754. To the firehouse, we're off duty.
Copy !req
755. Listen, sorry I broke protocol
this morning.
Copy !req
756. The adrenaline got the best of me.
Copy !req
757. Happens to me in a couple of hours.
Copy !req
758. My knees won't stop shaking.
Copy !req
759. - You got any cash on you?
- I'm tapped out.
Copy !req
760. Bunch of us are playing poker.
Want to come?
Copy !req
761. - Sure.

Copy !req
762. - Hop in.

24 minutes to go, right?

Copy !req
771. I came to see about a room for rent.
Is this the right address?
Copy !req
772. It is, I rent out my apartment.
Copy !req
773. I have a basement.
Copy !req
774. Would you like to see it?
Copy !req
775. Sure.
Copy !req
776. I don't usually advertise
at the hospital.
Copy !req
777. I always thought it might be
kind of, you know, awkward.
Copy !req
778. Sure, well, if you'd rather not.
Copy !req
779. No.
Copy !req
780. I was just having a drink.
Copy !req
781. Would you like one?
Copy !req
782. - Sure.
- Good, good.
Copy !req
783. Did you do something to your hair?
Copy !req
784. Hello?
Copy !req
785. Hey, baby.
Copy !req
786. Your census report?
Copy !req
787. Yeah, I think it's
on the kitchen table.
Copy !req
788. You want me to get it for you?
Copy !req
789. No, I can do it. It's just gonna
take a minute, okay? Just hold on.
Copy !req
790. Don't get out of the tub.
You look all happy.
Copy !req
791. Doug, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
792. I came to get this,
but then I was thinking...
Copy !req
793. that I was working
all night last night.
Copy !req
794. You were.
Copy !req
795. - And I'll be working all day tomorrow.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
796. - Maybe I should take tonight off.
- That's a good idea.
Copy !req
797. You like that?
Copy !req
798. - What's that, a bubble bath?
- You want to come in?
Copy !req
