[ SIRENS WAILING ]

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

HIGH-SPEED ROLLOVER,
SUCKING CHEST WOUND.

NO BREATH SOUNDS RIGHT,
LOWER LOBE,

OCCLUSIVE DRESSING'S ON,
AND B.P.'s HOLDING.
I NEED A CHEST TUBE,

LOCAL ANESTHETIC,
AND SOME HANDS.

UNIDENTIFIED WHITE FEMALE,
PASSENGER SIDE,

EJECTED FROM THE CAR.

DR. ROBIDAUX.
I'M ON IT.

UNRESPONSIVE TO PAIN.
BLEEDING FROM BOTH NARES.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

IS SHE DEAD?
SIR?

THAT'S MY WIFE.
PLEASE DON'T LET HER BE DEAD.

LOOK, SIR, PLEASE DON'T TALK.
LET ME SAVE YOU FIRST.

PULSE 100, B.P. 160,
BREATHING AT 30 ON HER OWN.
ELLEN!

SHALLOW AND RAPID.
LET'S PUT HIM OUT.

ONE, TWO, THREE.
LET'S GET A LINE IN.

O2 SAT IS 90,
AND SHE'S ON FULL BLAST.

SHE IS NOT OXYGENATING ENOUGH.
CHECK HER MOUTH?
TWICE.

Woman: SHE PROBABLY STOPPED
BREATHING BEFORE THEY COULD.

THE LUNGS ARE GOOD.
GET ME A BAG MASK.

SUCTION IS SET UP
AND READY TO GO.
GET RESPIRATORY.

HAVE THEM
GET A VENTILATOR READY.

I THINK THEY WERE TIED UP
IN ROOM 3 WITH THE...
COME ON.

SHE'S UP TO 98%, BUT --
ALL RIGHT. LET'S INTUBATE HER.

ARE YOU SURE
THE LUNGS HAVEN'T COLLAPSED?
YES, GIVE ME A MAC-3.

WE NEED BLOOD GASSES AND LABS.
WHO'S GOT THE i-STAT?

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

I NEED SUCTION.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

ONCE I GET THE TUBE IN,
I CAN HELP.

[ MONITOR BEEPS ]
SHE'S AT SINUS TACH.
SAT'S DOWN TO 70%.

WHAT?
I'M JUST THE MESSENGER.

GET IN THERE.

SHE MIGHT NEED AMIODARONE
OR VASOPRESSIN.

[ MONITOR BEEPS ]
BE SURE IT'S RIGHT.
65%. LIPS ARE CYANOTIC.

OKAY, LET'S GET
HER O2 SAT BACK UP,

THEN WE'LL TRY AGAIN.
WE'VE GOT TO GET HER TUBED.

23-YEAR-OLD MALE FOUND SEIZING
IN THE STREET -- TONIC-CLONIC.

CALL SOMEBODY FROM NEURO.
ROBIDAUX, TALK TO ME.

I'M HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE
INTUBATING.

GET SOMEBODY FROM ANESTHESIA.
IS SHE CONSCIOUS?
NO.

KEEP BAGGING HER.
PUT SOME FLUIDS IN HER.

YOU MIGHT
HAVE TO TRACH HER.

WILL YOU GET ME A TRACH?
I CAN'T FEEL HER LUNGS.

[ MONITOR BEEPS ]
HER NUMBERS AREN'T IMPROVING.

OKAY. I'M GONNA
GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE
ANY PEDAL PULSES.

SHE'S NOT PERFUSING.

DAMN IT! TRACH KIT,
AND I NEED MORE LIGHT.

SHE'S NOT GETTING AIR.
I CAN SEE THAT.

SUCTION. MORE SUCTION.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

WHAT THE HELL?
I'M GETTING RESISTANCE.

[ SIGHS ]
OKAY, LET'S TRACH HER.

SCALPEL,
AND I NEED MORE LIGHT.

I CAN'T FIND HER CARTILAGE.
THE BONY LITTLE --

I KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I CAN'T FIND IT THROUGH THE FAT.

YOU'RE LOSING TIME.
YOU GOT TO GET IN THERE.

VEIN.
PRESSURE.

I GOT IT. I GOT IT.
STEVENS. HOLD THAT.

SUCTION, SUCTION,
SUCTION, SUCTION.

SHE'S BEEN MORE
THAN THREE MINUTES WITHOUT --

I CAN COUNT.
[ MONITOR BEEPS ]

HEART RATE'S DROPPING --
47 AND HAVING SOME P.V.C.s

O2 SAT'S 60.
I AM AWARE.

OKAY, I CAN SEE
THE THYROID CARTILAGE.

I AM GOING BLIND HERE
WITH ALL THIS BLOOD.

PUSH UNTIL
YOU FEEL THE CRICOTHYROID.

I GOT IT.
HARD, RIGID?

YEP.
I'VE GOT THE DEFIB
STANDING BY IN CASE.

I'M IN. I'M IN. TUBE.

OH, DAMN IT. IT'S BLOCKED.
NO, THAT CAN'T BE.
TWIST THE DAMN THING.

NOW I AM IN! AMBU BAG.

TURN THE OXYGEN UP
TO 100%.

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ SIGHS ]
THANK GOD. THAT WAS CLOSE.

[ AIR HISSES ]
AIR'S ESCAPING.

HER LUNGS STILL
AREN'T EXPANDING.

STILL NO BREATH SOUND.
OUT OF MY WAY.

GLOVES. WHAT A MESS.

I'M NOT SURE
YOU WERE IN THE RIGHT SPOT.

GET ME MORE TUBING.
I CAN'T SUCTION THAT.

I NEED MORE HANDS.
[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

BRADYCARDIA RATE OF 20.
B.P. 40, SYSTOLIC.

[ Distorted ]
SHOULD I TRY I.V.?

SHE NEEDS OXYGEN.

[ RADIO CHATTER ]

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

[ HEART BEATING RAPIDLY ]

[ FLATLINE ]

SHE'S GONNA ARREST.
O2 SAT IS FALLING MORE.

WE NEED TO OXYGENATE.
SHE'S NOT MOVING ANY AIR.

SHE'S CRASHING. ASYSTOLE!
[ FLATLINE ]

WE'RE GONNA
NEED TO SHOCK HER.

I'M GONNA GO BACK IN
FROM ABOVE.

Woman: SHOULD WE TRY EPI?
SHE WON'T RESPOND
IF SHE'S NOT OXYGENATED.

WE LOST HER.

NO, COME ON. COME ON.

SHE'S GONE.

MARK THE TIME.

I'M IN! I'M IN!

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

[ CHUCKLES ]
WHAT THE...?

PEDIATRIC TUBE --

GOT IN
THROUGH THE VOCAL CORDS.

I'LL BE DAMNED.
HA!

REMIND ME
TO GIVE YOU A BIG HUG LATER.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ SIGHS ]

AN M.R.I.?
TO DIAGNOSE SOME FACIAL PAIN?

MY SENSE IS IT COULD BE
TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA,

OR THERE COULD BE
SOMETHING

APPLYING PRESSURE
ON THE NERVE ITSELF.

BUT AN M.R.I.
COULD GIVE US THE ANSWER.

AHH, HARDING HOOTEN.

OH, NO.
DOES THIS MEAN I'M REALLY SICK?

OH, WELL,
YOU CERTAINLY DON'T LOOK IT.

UH, YOU TWO
KNOW EACH OTHER?

MAY I REVEAL?
YOU MAY GO FOR IT.

SHE'S A PERFECTLY
HORRIBLE JUDGE.
[ CHUCKLES ]

I ONCE APPEARED
IN FRONT OF A JUDICIARY PANEL

AS A PROPONENT
OF PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE,

AND JUDGE BEVERLY NATHESON
REVEALED

AN AFFINITY
FOR RECTAL RECONSTRUCTION.

[ LAUGHS ]
I TORE HIM A NEW ONE.

YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW
I'M NOW FOR THAT LAW.

REALLY?
WHAT HAPPENED, PRAY TELL?

PARKINSON'S...
TO MY MOM.

THIS GENTLEMAN WANTS TO
SUBJECT ME TO DEADLY RADIATION.

WILL YOU PLEASE
JUST REASSURE ME

THAT THIS IS NOT OCCASIONED
BY YOUR LONG-STANDING GRUDGE?

[ LAUGHS ] IF I BORE A GRUDGE,
I'D RECOMMEND A ROOT CANAL.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA.

I'M A GOOD LISTENER.

[ Echoing ] MR. WELLS?

[ Normal voice ] CAN YOU
HEAR ME, MR. WELLS?

CAN YOU HEAR?

WHERE AM I?

HOSPITAL.
CONVULSION IN STREET.

I'M IN A HOSPITAL?

YES, PLACE THEY BRING
WHEN HAVE SEIZURE.

GRAND MAL --
YOU HAVE BEFORE?

UM...YEAH.

IS, UH --
IS MY MOTHER HERE?

NOT NOW.

WELL, IF SHE SHOWS UP,
DON'T TELL HER WHERE I AM.

HEY. I GOT PAGED,
BUT I SEE YOU --

DR. RIDGEWAY, NEUROSURGEON.
I'M DR. SUNG PARK.

HI.
HI.

WHAT'S, UH...

WHY...

I'M A WRITER.
I HAD NO PAPER.

WOW.

YOU'RE CERTAINLY
LOOKING BETTER.

WELL, THANKS TO YOU,
I'M TOLD.

ARE Y-YOU THE ONE
THAT SAVED MY LIFE?

OH, THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE
IN ON THAT.

WELL, THEY TOLD US
IT WAS THE PRETTY BRUNETTE.

[ LAUGHS ]

THIS IS MY HUSBAND, GEORGE --
MARRIED 22 YEARS TOMORROW.

WE WERE ON OUR WAY
TO THE WINE COUNTRY

WHEN HE ROLLED THE CAR
OVER.

WE DON'T KNOW
HOW TO THANK YOU.

FOR A WHILE,
YOU BOTH HAD US A LITTLE SCARED.

I KNOW. I HEARD THAT
YOU COULDN'T FIND THE CARTILAGE

OR BONE OR SOMETHING
BECAUSE MY NECK WAS TOO FAT.

WELL --
WELL, I'M TAKING IT
LIKE AN OMEN TO LOSE WEIGHT.

SO YOU NOT ONLY SAVED MY LIFE,
YOU MAYBE EXTENDED IT.

YOU'RE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL.
THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE.

HE SAID YOU HAD HIM LOCKED UP
LIKE A PRISONER.

NOT LIKE A PRISONER --
LIKE A MENTAL PATIENT,

WHICH IS WHAT HE IS.

I MEAN,
LOOK AT HIM FOR GOD'S SAKE.

HE WAS COVERED WITH --

HAS HE EVER BEEN SEEN
BY A DOCTOR, BY A PSYCHIATRIST?

HE'S BEEN SEEN BY 10.

THEY RULED OUT BIPOLAR DISORDER
AND SCHIZOPHRENIA.

WHEN DID
THIS OBSESSION BEGIN?

SENIOR YEAR
IN HIGH SCHOOL.

HE STARTED WRITING STORIES,
THEN BLOGGING.

HE'S A GOOD WRITER,
BY THE WAY.

CONTENT
IS NOT HIS PROBLEM.

UH, NOVELLAS,
SHORT STORIES, POEMS --

BUT EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF
HIS LIFE BECAME DYSFUNCTIONAL.

HE HAD TO LEAVE COLLEGE BECAUSE
HE COULDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT,

MUCH LESS SATISFY,
HIS DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS.

HE CAN'T HOLD A JOB.

SO, I TOOK AWAY HIS COMPUTER,
THEN I TOOK AWAY HIS PAPER.

I THOUGHT I HAD
TAKEN AWAY ALL OF THE PENS,

BUT CLEARLY I DIDN'T.

SO YOU KEPT HIM
LOCKED IN HIS ROOM.

SINCE SATURDAY...YES.

I THOUGHT
IF MAYBE I COULD PULL OFF

SOME KIND OF
HALF-ASSED INTERVENTION...

BUT HE BROKE OUT LAST NIGHT,
RAN AWAY -- NAKED --

HAD A SEIZURE,
AND HERE WE ARE.

I WANT TO
SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

[ SIGHS ]
LOOK AT THIS.

THIS IS THE ONLY PAPER
THAT HE HAD ACCESS TO.

THERE'S TWO MORE ROLLS
JUST LIKE THAT.

THEN HE WENT TO THE WALLS,
AND THEN...

...HE WENT
TO HIS OWN BODY.

Tyler: BINGO.
RIGHT ON THE TRIGEMINAL NERVE.

Harding:
PROBABLY SCHWANNOMA.

IN ANY EVENT,
IT'S GOT TO COME OUT.
LOOKS SIMPLE ENOUGH.

WELL, TO ADD TO THE EXCITEMENT,
IF YOU WANT SOME PRESSURE,

SHOULD YOU GOOGLE THIS WOMAN,
YOU'LL FIND HER NAME ON A LIST

OF POTENTIAL
SUPREME COURT NOMINEES.

REALLY?

THIS IS SOME JUDGE,
AND THAT IS SOME BRAIN.

A MASS.
IT APPEARS TO BE A TUMOR,
AND THAT'S WHAT'S APPLYING

THE PRESSURE
THAT'S CAUSING YOUR PAIN.

IS IT CANCEROUS?
HOPEFULLY NOT.

WE CAN'T CONFIRM
WHETHER IT IS OR IT ISN'T

UNTIL WE GET ACCESS
AND WE TAKE A BIOPSY.

AT THIS STAGE,
IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE,

BUT WE NEED TO OPERATE.

[ SIGHS ] HOW LONG
WILL THE RECOVERY TAKE?

I MEAN, I'VE --
WE KNOW, JUDGE --
PLACES TO GO.

FOUR TO SIX WEEKS,
DEPENDING ON HOW YOU'RE FEELING.

AND THE RECOVERY
WOULD BE COMPLETE.

MEANING
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO RESUME

YOUR PROCTOLOGY CAREER
ON THE BENCH?

WE BELIEVE SO.

PLUS YOU'LL BE
IN EXCELLENT HANDS -- HIS.

AND I'LL BE RIGHT THERE
BESIDE HIM.

[ SIGHS ]

HEY.
HAVE A SEAT.

[ SIGHS ]

FIRST OF ALL,
CONGRATULATIONS.

HERE YOU GO.

I'M STILL ON DUTY.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.
AS OF NOW, YOU'RE OFF-DUTY.

I-I HAVEN'T HIT
MY 24-HOUR MAX YET.

YOU SAVED
A WOMAN'S LIFE.

THE HIGH YOU MUST BE GOING ON --
YOU'RE OFF-DUTY.

YOU MEDITATE?
NO.

OKAY, WELL, I'M GONNA
GIVE YOU A LITTLE CRASH COURSE.

I WANT YOU
TO TAKE A HEALTHY SWIG,

BUT DON'T SWALLOW.

JUST HOLD THE BEER
IN YOUR MOUTH.

DO IT.

I REALLY...
DO IT.

MM-HMM.

NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE
THAT THE BEER IS LIFE ITSELF.

WHEN I TELL YOU TO SWALLOW,
I WANT YOU TO FEEL IT

GOING DOWN YOUR THROAT,
THEN INTO YOUR BLOOD,

YOUR EXTREMITIES.

I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIFE ITSELF
FLOWING RIGHT THROUGH YOU.

EXPERIENCE THE SENSATIONS
TRANSPORTING ENERGY

INTO EVERY VEIN
AND ORGAN.

NOW COUNT TO THREE,
THEN DO IT.

[ SIGHS ]

WOW.

[ LAUGHS ]
[ Laughing ] I LIKE THAT.

[ LAUGHS ]

IT WORKS -- MEDITATION.
YOU SHOULD DO IT.

NOW, FOR MY MONEY,
YOU SAVED THE DAY,

BUT THE STRESSORS
WERE WORKING A LITTLE TOO HARD.

PANIC AND JUDGMENT
AREN'T GOOD BEDMATES.

NEXT TIME, YOU NEED TO
BE BREATHING YOURSELF SOME.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT GIVING AIR
TO THE PATIENT.

OKAY.

THE E.R. HAS A CERTAIN ORDER
AND CALM TO IT --

IT HAS TO --

AND FIRST AND FOREMOST,
IT STARTS WITH THE DOCTOR.

GOT IT.

YEAH.

AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST,
I OWE YOU A HUG.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I KNOW WHAT I HAVE, OKAY?

IT'S CALLED HYPERGRAPHIA --
THE OPPOSITE OF WRITER'S BLOCK.

HE'S VERY SMART.

BUT NOT DEMENTED.

DEMENTED WOULD BE
LOCKING SOMEBODY IN A ROOM

AND BOARDING THE WINDOWS.
OH, FOR GOD'S SAKE,

YOU WERE WRITING
ON YOUR TOILET PAPER.

LET ME SAVE YOU SOME TIME.
HYPERGRAPHIA --

THE COMPULSION TO WRITE --

USUALLY ASSOCIATED
WITH TEMPORAL-LOBE EPILEPSY,

WHICH IS LIKELY
WHAT I HAVE,

SINCE ONCE IN A BLUE MOON,
I THROW A SEIZURE,

USUALLY BROUGHT ON BY
LITTLE ANNOYANCES OF LIFE,

LIKE BEING FALSELY IMPRISONED
BY YOUR OWN MOTHER.

I HAVE TRIED MEDS.

THEY MAKE ME
NOT WANT TO WRITE AT ALL,

WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I AM A WRITER.
IT IS WHAT I DO.

IF I CANNOT WRITE,
I AM DEAD.

[ BREATHES DEEPLY ]
NOW CAN I GO?

WANT TO TEST.

FORGET THE TEST!

DERRICK.
DON'T HANDLE ME!

I'M NOT ABOUT TO DO THAT.

YOU'RE ALREADY DOING IT
WITH TONE.

CLEARLY, YOU HAVE
A MASTER'S OF BEDSIDE.

YOU -- NOT SO MUCH.
I KNOW WHAT I HAVE.

I'M MESSED UP,
BUT HERE'S A FLASH --

THE BEST WRITERS ARE --
HEMINGWAY, FAULKNER,

BILL O'REILLY.

WANT TO TEST.

I DO NOT CONSENT.

NO MATTER.
NOT COMPETENT.

SCHEDULE TEST.

[ WHEELS SQUEAKING ]

HELLO.
MY NAME IS FRAN HOROWITZ.

I'M WITH, UH --
I HANDLE CLIENT SERVICES.

FIRST OFF,
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH

ON YOUR RESPECTIVE
SURVIVALS.

DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN HERE.

[ LAUGHS ]
LITTLE HOSPITAL HUMOR.

I HAVE NEWS.
CHANNEL 5 OUT OF PORTLAND

GOT WIND OF YOUR STORY --
YOUR ANNIVERSARY AND ALL --

AND THEY'RE ASKING IF THEY COULD
FILM A SHORT SEGMENT.

ON US?

IT WOULD BE TOTALLY UP TO YOU,
OF COURSE.

REALLY?
YES, YES, YES, YES.
WE'LL DO IT.

MAYBE WE COULD
HAVE A LITTLE ANNIVERSARY PARTY,

AND THEY COULD FILM IT.

THAT WOULD PROBABLY
DELIGHT THEM.

HELLO. FRAN HOROWITZ.

THEY'D LOVE TO SPEAK TO YOU,
AS WELL.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

IT WOULD BE GREAT
FOR THE HOSPITAL.

MAXIMIZING PROFILE TRANSLATES
TO BETTER FUNDRAISING.

CHA-CHING!
YES, UH, I'M KIND OF MODEST
WHEN IT COMES TO HORN-BLOWING.

OH,
IF I COULD BE SO BOLD --

UM, PEOPLE GET FIRED HERE
ALL THE TIME,

THOUGH I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T
EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN TO YOU,

BUT SHOULD IT,
IT MIGHT BE NICE

TO BANK A LITTLE GOOD PUBLICITY
FOR A RAINY DAY.

IT'S JUST A THOUGHT.
HMM.

[ WHEELS SQUEAKING ]

PRETTY EXTENSIVE
WHITE-MATTER CHANGES.

SHE'S ONLY 59.

GRASPING FORCEPS.

OKAY.

AH. THAT'S WEIRD.

IT DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE A SCHWANNOMA.

NOT A MENINGIOMA
OR A GLIOMA.

GRANULOMA?
COULD BE.

NO SIGN OF T.B.,
THOUGH.

PATHOLOGY'S
GOT TO RUN THAT.
OKAY.

STRANGE GROWTH.
DIFFUSE WHITE-MATTER CHANGES.

THAT COULD BE AGING.

TY...
DID YOU RUN AN RPR?

HEY.

HAVE TONE, WILL TRAVEL.

FINALLY
GOT MOM TO GO HOME.

I GUESS
I CAN'T ASK THE SAME OF YOU.

NOPE.

CAN I READ IT
WHEN YOU'RE DONE.

WHY NOT?
IT'S ABOUT SURGEONS.

IT'S CALLED
"WHEN IN DOUBT, CUT IT OUT."

CATCHY.

FIRST, WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE
IS ANYTHING TO CUT OUT.

BUT WE'D BE CRAZY
NOT TO TAKE A LOOK.

CRAZY WORKS FOR ME.

DERRICK...

I'VE READ
"MADMAN AND THE PROFESSOR."

I LOVED IT,

BUT THE MADMAN
WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

I TOLD YOU.

YOU DIDN'T, ACTUALLY.

MAYBE YOU JUST
WROTE IT DOWN.

LET'S SAY
YOU FIND SOMETHING,

YOU FIX IT --
YOU CHANGE WHO I AM...

WHAT I AM.

IF YOU HAVE OBSESSIONS,
FINE.

MANY PEOPLE DO,
INCLUDING A LOT OF SURGEONS.

BUT IF THE OBSESSION HAS YOU,
THAT'S A PROBLEM.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU'RE NOT WINNING
THE BATTLE HERE, DERRICK.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

YOU TELL ME.

WELL,
WE'VE RESECTED THE MASS,

AND THE GOOD NEWS IS
IT WASN'T A TUMOR.

[ SIGHS ]
NONCANCEROUS.

YOU'RE GOING
TO BE FINE.

AND YET THAT DOESN'T QUITE RING
OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

YOU HAVE
TERTIARY SYPHILIS --

LATE STAGE.

YOU PROBABLY CONTRACTED IT
MANY MOONS AGO -- 30, 40 YEARS.

WHAT?

HOW CAN THAT BE?

WELL, YOU WERE PROBABLY
ASYMPTOMATIC,

EXPERIENCING
ONLY INTERNAL LESIONS.

IT WENT UNDIAGNOSED.

AM I CONTAGIOUS?

NO. NO, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

[ SIGHS ]

I WAS ONLY
WITH MY HUSBAND.

WELL, HE PROBABLY CONTRACTED IT
BEFORE OR DURING THE MARRIAGE.

AND SINCE YOU DIDN'T
HAVE ANY CHILDREN,

IT'S POSSIBLE
IT WENT UNDETECTED.

SO,
WHAT'S THE PROGNOSIS?

TYPICALLY, IT'S ACCOMPANIED
BY SOME BRAIN DAMAGE,

BUT WE FULLY
RESECTED THE MASS,

AND SINCE WE'VE STARTED YOU
ON THE PENICILLIN,

WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT WE'VE
STOPPED ANY FURTHER PROGRESSION.

NOW, HAVE YOU NOTICED
ANY DECLINE

EITHER IN ACUITY
OR ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE?

WHO HASN'T AT MY AGE?

SO, WHAT ARE
YOU TELLING ME HERE?

THE DAMAGE
THAT'S BEEN DONE --

IT COULD GO ON,
IT COULD PROGRESS?

NO, WE'VE CAUGHT IT NOW.
I'M CONFIDENT NOT.

BUT CAN I GIVE YOU
A GUARANTEE?

[ Sighing ] OH, GOD.

I WAS MONOGAMOUS WITH MY HUSBAND
FOR 27 YEARS.

AND BEFORE THAT?

BEFORE THAT,
I WAS YOUNG.

[ SIGHS ]

OKAY, LET'S GET RIGHT
TO THE FESTIVITIES, SHALL WE?

DR. ROBIDAUX,
PLEASE, WOULD YOU JOIN US

AS OUR CELEBRATED
GUEST OF HONOR?

[ APPLAUSE ]

ADULATION WELL EARNED,
I HAVE TO SAY.

NEWS HAS TRAVELED FAST

REGARDING
YOUR LIFE-SAVING HEROICS --

THREADING
A PEDIATRIC TUBE

THROUGH A GASPING PATIENT'S
VOCAL CORD.

TALK US THROUGH THE EXCITEMENT,
DOCTOR, WOULD YOU?

UH, ELLEN COOLIDGE --
THE 42-YEAR-OLD FEMALE

BROUGHT IN UNCONSCIOUS
FOLLOWING A VEHICULAR ROLLOVER.

SHE WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO PAIN.
HER PULSE WAS 100 AND DROPPING.

HER O2 SAT
WAS 90 ON 100%.

A DECISION WAS MADE
TO INTUBATE HER

AFTER WE ASCERTAINED
THAT HER LUNGS WERE OKAY.

AND HOW
DID THAT INTUBATION GO?

TERRIBLY AT FIRST.

I COULDN'T
VISUALIZE HER CORDS,

AND DUE TO HER GIRTH,
THE TUBE WOULDN'T PASS.

SHE STARTED
TURNING CYANOTIC,

SO I DECIDED TO BAG HER
TO GET HER O2 SAT BACK UP.

A DECISION WAS THEN MADE

TO PERFORM
AN EMERGENCY TRACHEOSTOMY.

THAT DECISION
WAS MADE BY YOU?

DR. VILLANUEVA, ACTUALLY.
OH. WAS HE THERE?

HE WAS TREATING THE HUSBAND
NEARBY.

AH. CONTINUE, PLEASE.

UH, I PROCEEDED
TO DO THE TRACH,

ONLY I COULDN'T
LOCATE HER CARTILAGE,

AGAIN, DUE TO HER WEIGHT.
AND FOR HOW LONG

HAD THE PATIENT BEEN
WITHOUT OXYGEN BY THIS TIME?

ALMOST THREE MINUTES.

THREE MINUTES? MY, MY.

AT FOUR MINUTES, SHE WOULD HAVE
SUFFERED PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE.

SOUNDS LIKE
IT WAS GETTING A LITTLE HAIRY.

GO ON.

I MADE
A LEFT-TO-RIGHT SWIPE.

I HIT A VEIN.
BLOOD STARTED --
YOU HIT A VEIN?

WHICH WE PINCHED OFF
PRETTY QUICKLY.

UH, FINALLY,
I LOCATED HER CRICOTHYROID

AND GOT IN,
AND WE THEN TUBED HER...
SPLENDID.

...ONLY IT WAS BLOCKED.

DR. VILLANUEVA
THEN CAME OVER TO ASSIST.

SHE WENT INTO ASYSTOLE.

HE STARTED PERFORMING
CHEST COMPRESSIONS.

FINALLY,
I GOT THE PEDIATRIC TUBE IN,

AND SHE NORMALIZED,
THANK GOD.

THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL.
VERY CLOSE.

AND HOW'S THE PATIENT
DOING NOW?
SHE'S FINE.

SHE'S CELEBRATING
HER 22nd WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

YES,
I BET SHE'S VERY GRATEFUL.

[ Chuckling ]
SHE SEEMS SO, YES.
HMM.

YES, I HEAR SHE REFERS TO YOU
AS HER GUARDIAN ANGEL.

[ CHUCKLES ]
THAT MUST BE
A WARM FEELING --

PERFORMING
A LIFE-SAVING TRACHEOSTOMY,

AND THEY DON'T ALWAYS
GO THAT WELL.

TRUST ME, I KNOW
FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE.

TELL ME, DOCTOR,
FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE,

DO THEY USUALLY
GO THAT WELL?

UH, WELL,
THIS WAS MY FIRST ONE.

YOUR VERY FIRST ONE,
YOU SAY?

UH, I'VE ASSISTED
ON SOME --

IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS?

NO, NEVER IN AN EMERGENCY,
BEFORE NOW.

WOW.

YOUR VERY FIRST
EMERGENCY TRACHEOSTOMY,

AND THINGS WENT WELL.

GOOD FOR YOU.

WHY DID YOU MAKE A LEFT-TO-RIGHT
INCISION IN HER THROAT?

IF YOU'D
MADE A VERTICAL INCISION,

YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED
HITTING HER BLOOD VESSEL, NO?

WELL, IT'S A SMALL MISTAKE,
I SUPPOSE.

AS YOU SAY, THIS WAS
YOUR VERY FIRST EMERGENCY TRACH.

WELL, THEN IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT'S WHY

YOUR CRICOTHYROIDECTOMY
WAS UNSUCCESSFUL

AND POSSIBLY WHY YOU COULDN'T
FIND THE CARTILAGE

AND WHY YOU WERE HAVING TROUBLE
INTUBATING,

WHICH DEPRIVED
THE PATIENT OF AIR

FOR SOMETHING
LIKE THREE MINUTES.

DID YOU ASK FOR HELP?
EVERYONE WAS PREOCCUPIED.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN
CALL FOR HELP?

YOU COULDN'T
GET THE BLOODY TUBE IN,

YOU NICKED A VEIN,

YOUR PATIENT
WAS CIRCLING THE DRAIN,

AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN BOTHER
TO ASK FOR HELP.

Jorge: I CAME OVER.
YES, TO HER RESCUE.

ARE YOU COMING
TO HER RESCUE NOW, GATO?

BY THE TIME YOU ARRIVED,

THE PATIENT
WAS IN FULL CARDIAC ARREST.

YOU SAVED THE DAY,
DR. ROBIDAUX,

BUT NOT BEFORE
VERY NEARLY LOSING IT.

STILL, NO MATTER.

AS YOU SAY,

THE PATIENT IS EATING CAKE,
ICE CREAM,

DELIGHTFULLY ENJOYING
HER SATISFACTORY OUTCOME.

PERHAPS
SHE'S NOT EVEN AWARE

THAT BECAUSE OF HER PROLONGED
DEPRIVATION OF OXYGEN,

SHE MIGHT BE
JUST A WEE BIT LESS SMART.

SHE'LL THINK NOTHING
OF STRUGGLING

WITH WEDNESDAY'S CROSSWORD
IN THE NEW YORK TIMES,

WHEREAS BEFORE, SHE WOULD HAVE
BREEZED THROUGH THURSDAY'S.

WE TESTED HER.
MENTALLY, SHE'S FINE.

SO SHE SEEMS,
AND PERHAPS SHE IS.

OR SHE MAY HAVE
LOST A TICK.

SEE, THESE ARE THE MINOR MISHAPS
THAT WE NEVER GET CALLED ON.

SOMEBODY DIES,
WE GET SUED.

LEAVE A PAIR OF FORCEPS
INSIDE A PATIENT,

CUT OFF THE WRONG LEG,
PUNCTURE AN AORTIC VALVE --

FOR THOSE CATASTROPHIC GAFFES,
WE ARE SURELY HELD ACCOUNTABLE,

BUT IT'S THESE LITTLE ERRORS
THAT WE MAKE --

THE ONES
THAT ARE WAY MORE PREVALENT.

WE GET AWAY WITH THOSE MISTAKES,
DON'T WE?

NOBODY'S ANY THE WISER.

SOMETIMES THEY'RE THE DUMBER.
[ CHUCKLES ]

IMAGINE, ELLEN COOLIDGE
IS IN HER ROOM EATING CAKE,

THANKING HER LUCKY STARS
WITH NO IDEA

THAT HER GUARDIAN ANGEL
VERY NEARLY KILLED HER.

HARDING.
IT WASN'T HER FAULT.

NO.

IT WAS MINE,
AND IT WAS YOURS.

THIS WAS NOT
CHELSEA GENERAL'S BEST WORK.

A WOMAN
COMES TO OUR E.R.,

WE SHOULD AT LEAST BE
ABLE TO PROFFER A DOCTOR

WHO IS CAPABLE
OF PERFORMING A TRACHEOSTOMY.

OR FAILING THAT,
ONE WHO IS ADEPT AT INTUBATING.

OR FAILING THAT,

ONE WHO CAN AT LEAST
FIND THE THYROID CARTILAGE.

OR FAILING THAT,

ONE WHO MIGHT NOT
IMPROPERLY SLIT HER THROAT.

THIS WAS SHODDY,
SHODDY WORK,

AND THE FACT
THAT WE GOT AWAY WITH IT

DOESN'T MAKE IT
ANY LESS INEXCUSABLE.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE A NIECE,
LOVELY GIRL --

SHE REMINDS ME A LITTLE BIT
OF YOU, DR. ROBIDAUX.

SHE WAS RECENTLY FIRED

FROM HER WAITRESSING JOB
AT THE RITZ-CARLTON.

SHE SET A TABLE
INCORRECTLY.

THE KNIFE AND THE FORK
WERE IN THE WRONG PLACE
OR SOME SUCH THING.

THE RITZ-CARLTON DOESN'T EVEN
COUNTENANCE MISTAKES LIKE THAT.

COUNT YOURSELF LUCKY
THAT YOU WORK IN A HOSPITAL

AND THAT YOU'RE A SURGEON.
THAT'S ENOUGH.

I AM NOT A BAD DOCTOR,
AND YOU KNOW IT.

INDEED...
BUT MY ROLE HERE

ISN'T SIMPLY
TO PREVENT THE BAD DOCTORS

FROM KILLING PATIENTS.

IT'S TO KEEP THE GOOD ONES
FROM DOING SO.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

LESION -- RIGHT THERE.
TAKE OUT.

WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
ANTERIOR TEMPORAL RESECTION.

REMOVE BAD. LEAVE GOOD.

AND COMPULSIVE WRITING --

DO WE CATEGORIZE THAT
AS THE GOOD OR THE BAD?

IT LIKELY GO WITH LESION.

THE GOOD NEWS IS
IT'S NOT NEAR THE ELOQUENT AREA.

YOU'LL STILL BE
ABLE TO THINK CLEARLY,

LIVE A HEALTHY,
NORMAL LIFE.

I'M GONNA PASS.

YOU CAN'T PASS.

WITH EACH SEIZURE,
YOU COULD SUFFER WORSE --

MORE COGNITIVE
OR INTELLECTUAL DAMAGE.

THIS COULD EVEN KILL YOU.

I UNDERSTAND.

I'M GONNA PASS.

DERRICK, I KNOW --

MY CREATIVITY
IS WHO I AM.

THIS IS WHO I AM.

I'M NOT HAVING SURGERY.

YOU NEED TO APPRECIATE THAT
THIS IS POTENTIALLY A FATAL --

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
LOBOTOMIZE ME AWAY.

WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT A LOBOTOMY.

NO!

[ SIGHS ]

YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE
OFFERED SOMETHING?

"NOT DO, DEAD" -- I MEAN,
ANY NUMBER OF YOUR PEARLS

MIGHT HAVE COME IN HANDY
JUST NOW.

INSTEAD, YOU JUST SIT THERE?
REALLY?

WRITE GOOD.

GOOD WRITER.

[ SIGHS ]

[ SIGHS ]

YOU KNOW I'M ON A SHORT LIST
TO BE A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.

YOUR HONOR,
IT WAS ONLY THREE YEARS AGO

THAT YOU HAD YOUR SOCRATIC WAY
WITH ME BEFORE THAT COMMISSION.

IT SEEMS TO ME
YOUR PISTONS ARE FIRING

ON MORE THAN ENOUGH
CYLINDERS.

IS THAT ALL
THAT WAS BOTHERING YOU --

YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING IT
TO THE HIGH COURT?

SUPPOSE THAT I'M ASKED
BY A GENERAL JUDICIAL PANEL,

"ARE YOU AT ANY RISK
FOR COGNITIVE DECLINE?"

FIRST OF ALL, THEY'RE HIGHLY
UNLIKELY TO ASK YOU THAT.

AND SECOND, WE ALL RUN THAT
RISK. IT'S CALLED GETTING OLDER.

AND I COULD BE WRONG,

BUT IF THERE'S ONE PLACE
TO THRIVE

WHILE GETTING DECREPITLY OLD,
THE SUPREME COURT WOULD BE IT.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ LAUGHS ]

I FEEL...

DAMAGED...

...ASHAMED.

THE HONORABLE
JUDGE BEVERLY NATHESON.

YOUR HONOR, DO YOU REALLY MEAN
TO BEAT YOURSELF UP

FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED
SEVERAL LIFETIMES AGO?

NOT GO MEDICAL SCHOOL
MAKE HOUSE CALL.

I REALLY DON'T CARE, SUNG.
YOU'RE COMING WITH ME.

YOU BASICALLY LET A GUY LEAVE
WITH A TIME BOMB IN HIS HEAD,

SO NOW IT'S INCUMBENT ON US
TO BRING HIM.

AH, TALK GIBBLISH.
THE WORD WOULD BE "GIBBERISH."

THE IDEA OF US MAKING
A HOUSE CALL IS ANYTHING BUT.

THAT LESION NEEDS
TO BE ADDRESSED SURGICALLY,

AND KNOW KNOW IT, WHICH MEANS
YOU BETTER SAY THE RIGHT THING,

IF NOT FOR THE SAKE
OF THE PATIENT'S HEALTH,

THEN AT LEAST YOUR OWN
MALPRACTICE PREMIUM,

LET ALONE
YOUR RIGHT TO CONTIN--

POOPY KOOK.

"POPPYCOCK."

HEY.
YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING.

THAT'S WHY YOU GAVE ME THE BEER,
THE -- THE HUG --

TO BUOY ME BECAUSE YOU KNEW
WHAT WAS COMING.

I DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE.
I HAD A HUNCH.

LOOK,
YOU'RE A RESIDENT.

YOU WERE
IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

BOTTOM LINE --
YOU SAVED A WOMAN'S LIFE.

YEAH,
AFTER NEARLY KILLING HER?

HARDING KNOWS
YOU'RE A GOOD DOCTOR.

[ SCOFFS ]
DID HE SAY THAT?

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO.
YOU'RE STILL HERE.

Moira: HE'S BEEN IN THERE
EVER SINCE HE GOT BACK...

WITH HIS COMPUTER.

I FIGURED BETTER THAT
THAN THE CHARMIN.

ANY SEIZURES?

UM, NO,
NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

ALTHOUGH, HE HAS HAD SOME
OF THOSE AURA THINGS.

I DON'T EXPECT HIM
TO BE THRILLED TO SEE YOU,

BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME
THAT YOU DON'T REALLY CARE.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
DERRICK?

DERRICK,
WE HAVE GUESTS.

[ KEYBOARD CLACKING ]

DERRICK.

THE PROCEDURE
WILL NOT NECESSARILY

ERADICATE
YOUR CREATIVITY.

IT'S EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS

TO LET TEMPORAL-LOBE EPILEPSY
GO UNTREATED.

WHAT IF IT DOES?
I'M SORRY?

WHAT IF IT DOES
ERADICATE MY CREATIVITY?

DO YOU WANT TO DIE?
BECAUSE --

LOOK,
I ALREADY TOLD YOU --

SUNG, CAN YOU HELP ME,
PLEASE?

DR. PARK.

YOU NO DRIVE.

YOU NO SWIM. NO MOUNTAIN-CLIMB.
NO SKY-DIVE.

I DON'T DO THOSE THINGS.
I WRITE.

WE SEE HOW GOES.

SEIZURES GET WORSE,
PRESCRIBE NEW MEDICATION.

IF NOT, IN MEANTIME --

IN MEANTIME, WHAT?

IN MEANTIME...

WRITE.

[ KEYBOARD CLACKING ]

Smith:
LAST NIGHT, A ROBBERY OCCURRED
AT THE FOUR AND TWENTY MARKET,

AND THAT WOULD MAKE THIS
THE FIFTH SMALL BUSINESS

TARGETED
IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS.

CHANNEL 4 NEWS
REPORTED LAST NIGHT

THAT A MAN
DRESSED ALL IN BLACK...

WORD IS YOU'VE REQUESTED
AN EARLY CHECKOUT.

I DON'T LIKE
YOUR WINE SELECTION.

A DECENT PINOT,
I MIGHT RECONSIDER.

WELL, I'LL BE SURE
TO SEND YOU A BOTTLE.

WE NEED TO KEEP YOU IN
FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER DAY.

YOU'VE HAD BRAIN SURGERY.

I WISH I'D BEEN
AS HOSPITABLE TO YOU

WHEN YOU APPEARED
BEFORE ME.

[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU DON'T MEAN THAT.

SO THANKS.

MEANWHILE, WE ARE GETTING
AN UNCONFIRMED REPORT

THAT FEDERAL DISTRICT-COURT
JUDGE BEVERLY NATHESON

HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH
AN ADVANCED CASE OF SYPHILIS.

AS YOU MAY RECALL,
JUDGE NATHESON HAS BEEN RUMORED

TO BE AMONG A HANDFUL
OF JURISTS UNDER CONSIDERATION

TO REPLACE EITHER
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE KENNEDY,

SCALIA, GINSBURG, OR BREYER --
ALL OF WHOM ARE IN THEIR 70s,

ANY OF WHOM MAY SOON
LEAVE A VACANCY ON THE BENCH.

BEVERLY NATHESON
IS KNOWN AS BEING A JUDGE...

[ PAGER BEEPING ]

[ PAGER BEEPING ]

[ PAGERS BEEPING ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

WELL, WHAT'S YOUR BEST GUESS
THIS TIME?

NEWS IS OUT
ABOUT THAT JUDGE.

IT HAS TO BE
A CONFIDENTIALITY BREACH.

[ SIGHS ]
HE HATES THAT.

HERE HE COMES.

OKAY, HERE WE GO.

THIS COULD GET UGLY.

DR. PARK, PLEASE STAND.
YOU'RE THE OPENING ACT.

OH, I SAID JUST STAND.
YOU CAN DO THEATER IN THE ROUND.

[ SIGHS ]
TELL US ABOUT DERRICK WELLS.

20-YEAR-OLD MALE.
TEMPORAL-LOBE EPILEPSY.

TREATABLE?
YES. SURGERY.

HE DECLINE.
HMM.

THAT'S QUITE A BRAVE DECISION,
ISN'T IT?

DECLINING A POTENTIALLY
LIFE-SAVING PROCEDURE?

I BET THAT WAS QUITE
A LONELY DECISION, AS WELL.

WAS HE ALONE IN MAKING
THAT DECISION, DR. PARK?

I SUPPORT.
YOU SUPPORT?

WRITER WANT WRITE.

SURGERY POSSIBLE
TAKE AWAY CREATIVITY.

OH, I GET IT.
"WRITER WANT WRITE.

SURGERY POSSIBLE
TAKE AWAY CREATIVITY."

HMM. COMMENTS, ANYONE?

WELL,
HUMOR ME, DR. PARK.

YOU KNOW, I RATHER LIKE
THESE DELICIOUS LITTLE DETAILS.

FOR EXAMPLE,
I MIGHT LIKE SOME SENSE

OF THE PATIENT'S
MENTAL COMPETENCE,

SHOULD HE DECLINE TREATMENT
FOR A POTENTIALLY FATAL DISEASE.

WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL
IF WE HAD A REAL NUTJOB

ON OUR HANDS,
SOMEBODY SO COMPULSIVE

HE WRITES MANUSCRIPTS
ON TOILET PAPER,

ON THE WALLS,
EVEN ON HIS OWN BODY.

SEEMS TO ME A PERSON LIKE THAT
MIGHT NEED SOME PROPER STEERING.

I SHOULD LIKE TO THINK
THE DOCTORS HERE

AT CHELSEA GENERAL
MIGHT STEER HIM TOWARDS LIFE.

HE'S IN A MOOD.
SOMETHING TO SAY, DR. NAPUR?!

THIS YOUNG MAN SUFFERS

FROM A VERY SERIOUS
MENTAL DISORDER,

SO MUCH SO HE IS A THREAT
TO HIS OWN WELL-BEING,

AND YOU BLITHELY SUGGES--

NOT THREAT SELF.
NOT THREAT OTHERS.

HE SUFFERS FROM EPILEPSY.
HE HAS A LESION.

CHARLES DICKENS HAVE EPILEPSY.
DOSTOYEVSKY HAVE EPILEPSY.

OH, SO NOW YOU THINK
THAT JUST --

Sun: LEWIS CARROLL,
EDGAR ALLAN POE,

LORD BYRON
ALL SUFFER EPILEPSY.

YOU WANT DO PROCEDURE
ON DICKENS?

YOU WANT SNIP-SNIP DOSTOYEVSKY?
VINCENT VAN GOGH?

YEAH, I BELIEVE VAN GOGH
WAS A SELF-SNIPPER.

PICASSO, MICHELANGELO --

GREAT ART, EPILEPSY,
HAND-IN-HAND.

DERRICK WELLS WANT TO WRITE.
THAT PURPOSE. THAT ESSENCE.

WHO ME TO SAY NO?
WHO YOU?

WHO YOU?

ME CHIEF OF STAFF.

YOU LECTURE US
WEEKS AGO --

"SEE WHOLE, NOT JUST BODY PARTS.
SEE WHOLE."

I LOOK AT DERRICK WELLS
WHOLE.

HE A WRITER.

LET BE.

DR. WILSON...

DO YOU HAVE AN OPINION?

ME?
YES.

SEEMS TO ME
YOU MIGHT QUITE LIKE TO SHARE.

YOU SEEM TO ME
LIKE A SHARER OF SORTS.

I HAVE NO IDEA
WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS.

PLEASE STAND, DR. WILSON.

UH, YOU MAY SIT,
DR. PARK.

DR. WILSON, YOU AND I
TREATED A PATIENT WITH SYPHILIS,

AND THAT LITTLE NUGGET
IS NOW BEING FEATURED

PROMINENTLY
IN MEDIA OUTLETS NATIONWIDE.

WITH WHOM DID WE SHARE
THIS DIAGNOSIS, DOCTOR?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

WHO DID YOU TELL,
DR. WILSON?

MANY PEOPLE HERE
HAD ACCESS.

YES, AND I INTEND TO QUESTION
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

BUT I'M STARTING WITH YOU.
WHO DID YOU TELL?

I ONLY DISCUSSED IT
WITH COLLEAGUES.

THAT WOULD BE ME AND WHO ELSE?
RADIOLOGY, PATHOLOGY.

HOW ABOUT DR. RIDGEWAY?
DID YOU DISCUSS IT WITH HER?

YES, IT'S AN EXTREMELY
RARE CASE, AND I --

SO WHY NOT TALK ABOUT IT
WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

THAT'S OUT OF LINE.
THIS WAS A CEREBRAL GUMMA --

NEUROSYPHILIS.
WE SHOULD ALL BE TALKING --

THIS IS A PROMINENT JUDGE
WHO COULD DO VERY WELL

WITHOUT THE STIGMA OF SYPHILIS
HANGING OVER HER.

AND YOU REALLY THINK
SOMEBODY IN THIS ROOM

PUT OUT THAT INFORMATION?
IT GOT OUT, DR. RIDGEWAY!

THESE WALLS ARE SUPPOSED TO
BE SEALED, AND IT GOT OUT.

Syd: COME ON, HARDING!

THE IDEA
OF MEDICAL CONFIDENTIALITY

IN THE 21st CYBER-CENTURY?

TORT LAWYERS HAVE
CHELSEA GENERAL EMPLOYEES
ON THEIR PAYROLL.

MITCH TOMPKINS
FILES WRONGFUL-DEATH SUITS

BEFORE PATIENTS
EVEN FLATLINE.

THIS IS SYSTEMIC.

WHICH ONLY COMPOUNDS
MY PROBLEM.

AS A MATTER OF COURSE,
THIS PATIENT'S INFORMATION

WOULD HAVE BEEN SHARED
WITH UPWARDS OF 100 PEOPLE
IN THIS BUILDING ALONE,

NOT TO MENTION
OUTSIDE THIS BUILDING.

BETWEEN OUTSOURCE LABS,
BILLING, TRANSCRIPTS,

INSURANCE --
ADD ANOTHER 100.

NOT TO MENTION

ELECTRONIC RECORDS
ARE HACKABLE, STEALABLE.

YOU KNOW
WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING?

WE SHOULD BE PUTTING UP
A BIG SIGN ON THE DOOR

THAT SAYS, "PRIVACY IS DEAD.
GET OVER IT."

WELL, THANK YOU

FOR YOUR CONSIDERED INPUT,
DR. NAPUR.

YOU SEEM SO WELL-INFORMED
ON THE SUBJECT,

I'M GONNA PUT YOU IN CHARGE
OF A SPECIAL TASK FORCE

TO ADDRESS
OUR NEWFOUND PRIVACY CONCERNS.

I WILL EXPECT
A DETAILED ANALYSIS

AND A FULL LIST OF SPECIFIC
RECOMMENDATIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS.

COME ON.
I HARDLY HAVE THE TIME.

WELL, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE OPENED YOUR MOUTH.

OR, PERHAPS
AS DR. PARK PUT IT,

THAT'S YOUR ESSENCE,
YOUR PURPOSE.

30 DAYS.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ FOGHORN BLARES ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

FEE-FI-FO-FUM!

YOU WANT ME
TO DO AN INSECTOMY --

GET THAT GIANT BUG
UP YOUR ASS?

IF I FIND THAT LEAK,

I'M GONNA GET THAT BUG
AND STEP ON IT.

HARDING,
WITH ALL THE LAB REPORTS --

NO, NO, SHE WAS LISTED
UNDER A PSEUDONYM.

NOT WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH, SHE WASN'T,

WHERE WE HAD A DUTY
TO REPORT HER REAL NAME.

LOOK, MAN, IN THIS DIGITAL WORLD
WE LIVE IN,

EVEN IF PRIVACY DOES EXIST,
WHICH I SERIOUSLY DOUBT,

EXPECTATIONS OF PRIVACY
[CHUCKLES] YOU CAN FORGET IT.

WELL, THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED,
AND IT WILL BE.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU WERE PRETTY ROUGH
ON ROBIDAUX.

OH,
SHE'LL THANK ME ONE DAY.

[ CHUCKLES ]
DON'T WAIT FOR IT.

LOOK, MAN...

WE HAD MULTIPLE BODIES
IN THE E.R.

I SHOULD HAVE
HAD MORE PEOPLE.

MY BAD.

I BET YOU HUGGED HER.

SAY WHAT?
YEAH.

YOU LIKELY SUSPECTED

I WAS GONNA GO OFF
ON MICHELLE ROBIDAUX,

SO YOU BRACED HER
FOR IMPACT

WITH ONE OF YOUR INSIPID
LITTLE HALF NELSONS.

YOU DID, DIDN'T YOU?
[ Laughing ]
MAN, YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
YOU HUGGED HER.

YOU'RE PATHETIC.
MAN, DRINK YOUR SCOTCH.

[ LAUGHS ]

* IF YOU KEEP ON WALKING

SO, YOU GAVE HER A SQUEEZE,
MADE HER FEEL BETTER.

WELL, ACTUALLY,
I WAS THINKING ABOUT MY EX-WIFE.

YEAH?
YEP.

* YOU'LL WALK RIGHT
OUT OF SIGHT *
I USED TO WEAR

MY WEDDING RING
ON THE WRONG FINGER.

* AND IF YOU KEEP
YOUR EYES CLOSED *

* YOU WILL NOT SEE THE LIGHT

* JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE

* TO PUT IT RIGHT

* YEAH

* RULES WITHIN RULES

* WON'T HIDE THE HURT
I HAVE FELT *

* WELL, I COULD KEEP ON TRYING
WE RAN INTO SOME DIFFICULTIES
TRYING TO CLEAR HER AIRWAY.

BUT ULTIMATELY, WE WERE ABLE
TO THREAD A PEDIATRIC TUBE IN

THROUGH HER VOCAL CORDS,
WHICH GOT HER BREATHING AGAIN.

Man: YOU MEAN YOU WERE ABLE TO
GET HER BREATHING AGAIN?

OH, I WAS ONLY A SMALL COG
IN THE MACHINE.

EVERYONE IN THAT E.R.
WAS WORKING TIRELESSLY

TO SAVE
MR. AND MRS. COOLIDGE.

ACCIDENTS HAPPEN --
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE HOSPITALS,

AND CHELSEA GENERAL HAPPENS
TO BE ONE OF THE BEST.

WE ALL FEEL FORTUNATE THAT WE
WERE IN A POSITION TO SAVE...

* IN THIS EMPTY SPACE

* YEAH
