PANDAS?

Uh, Pediatric Autoimmune
Neuropsychiatric Disorder

Associated with Streptococcal Infection.

Kevin started getting tics and OCD

after a strep infection two years ago.

Nobody else could
figure out what it was,

until finally Dr. Kravitz diagnosed him.

Okay, we'll be sure

I've heard of Dr. Kravitz.

He sees a lot of kids
with PANDAS, right?

He's one of the nation's
top experts.

I'm guessing
Dr. Kravitz put Kevin

on long-term prophylactic antibiotics

to fight the residual strep?

Yes, he did.

CBC, chem panel, blood cultures,

abdominal CT, and hang
a gram of vanco STAT.

We're gonna start him
on some medications

Thank you.

Hey, you've heard
of this Dr. Kravitz.

He labels every kid's

neurological condition as PANDAS.

It's not even an officially
recognized diagnosis.

Either way, right now,

that child is in real
pain with a real fever.

Right, because he's been on
three different antibiotics

for over 12 months,

which we both know has wiped out

all the healthy flora in his gut,

causing a massive superinfection.

I mean, all because his parents
shopped around for a doctor

willing to blame Kevin's
neurologic tics on strep,

instead of admitting

they most likely passed
it on to him genetically.

Okay, but dismissing them
isn't gonna help.

They are upset and worried.

And what they're doing
to try and fix him

might wind up killing him.

Hi. [CLEARS THROAT]

So, Kevin's scans
indicate toxic megacolon.

It's a dangerous intestinal infection

caused by an overgrowth of
opportunistic bacteria.

Which is most likely due to
his long-term antibiotic use.

So the new medicine you're
giving him should fix it?

It's not that simple.

Kevin's bowel is so inflamed,

it's become dangerously dilated.

And if it perforates, it's
a life threatening situation,

which is why we need to release
the pressure from his colon

to try and prevent that.

We appreciate your help,

but we've spoken with Dr. Kravitz,

and he wants Kevin
transferred over there.

Dr. Kravitz says
if we treat him incorrectly,

it's only going to make Kevin's
neurologic symptoms worse.

He wants to give him an infusion of IVlg

to prevent that.

Kevin's tics are the least
of his problems right now.

We need to focus on
treating his infection.

We want that too,

but Kevin's tics are a big problem.

They're odd, and the kids at school

are starting to stare at him.

We just don't wanna do anything

- to compromise his future.
- I understand, but...

We'll do the IVig here.

Natalie...

That would work.

Great, we'll get started
right away.

- Thank you so much.
- Yeah.

Why are you indulging them
like this?

Indulging them?

You know full well the IVlg

will have exactly zero
therapeutic benefit.

It's keeping Kevin
in the hospital.

Why are you being so negative?

I'm just being realistic.

The more you humor then, the
less likely they'll ever be

to seek out an actual effective therapy

for what is most likely a
genetic neurologic condition.

So what do you want
me to do, Will?

Have them sign out and leave?

- Nah, you should just
give them a placebo: IVlg.

If that's what's gonna
allow us to do our job,

then that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

our last fiscal year.

Excuse me...

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Ms. Goodwin.

As Executive Director of
Patient and Medical Services,

the safety of our staff and patients

is my responsibility.

There are few substances

more dangerous and
terrifying than fentanyl.

Even a minute amount inhaled

or absorbed through the skin

can cause an overdose and even death,

and while I understand going on bypass

costs this hospital money,

if just one person goes
into respiratory failure

from coming in contact with this drug,

I guarantee...

that the damage to this
hospital's reputation

will be far costlier.

So, I'm sure you'll all agree

that keeping us on bypass

is medically and fiscally

the best course of action.

Well...

since you put it like that...

Thank you.

I'll be in my office

if anyone has anymore questions.
