Previously on e.R.:

Rejoice, lost man.

Chaos is your destiny.

This baby
Won't want to come out.

Two of the best
Transplant surgeons
In the county

Let us look
Over their shoulders

And you just
Get up and leave.

Is that a problem?

I'll stay
On the couch.

Me, too.

Looking for a doctor.

Which one?

Bald, white guy,
Little glasses.

Great. Just walk away.

Is dr. Benton done
With that thyroidectomy yet?

So he's still in there?

Dr. Benton...

Carter, what are
You doing here?

Let's get an a.B.G.
In 20 minutes.

I thought you
Were covering the e.R.

I need to talk to you.

Make it fast. I've got
Two admissions, a clinic

And an aneurysm
With dean rowe.

I've been thinking
About that kidney
Donor case last week

Where I left
To check on the patients
During the debriefing.

Instead of
Listening to two

Of the finest
Transplant surgeons
In the country.

Yeah. I guess so.

I've just been wondering,
You know, maybe...

Maybe I'm in
The wrong place.

If you're still here
In two minutes, you are.

I mean surgery.

Obviously, I love it,
And I still feel

Very challenged
By it, but...

Are there ever days

When you don't feel
Quite satisfied?

Carter, sometimes,
The patient dies.

Yeah, I know,
But otherwise?

Otherwise what?

It just feels like

Sometimes, they exist
For us to do procedures.

That's what they
Come here for.

And we don't need to know
Anything else about them

Like how worried
They are

Or where they
Went to high school

Or whether they like
Cats or dogs?

Carter, what are
You talking about?

Well, sometimes, I like
To know the other stuff.

What for?

( pager beeping )

Ah, damn. Um, listen,
We'll talk later.

It was at least 50 questions
About my family background.

Nothing like the
Head of security

To make you
Feel insecure.

He almost withheld
My photo I.D.

Because I didn't know
My stepmother's maiden name.

He didn't cut
You much slack

On that picture,
Either.

You'd think I was walking
Into the white house.

Which is easier.

I've done it.

Randi, can you get
These to radiology?

Now?

Unless you're doing
Something urgent

That I can't quite see.

Dr. Ross, pedes called.

You're covering deliveries
For john lavagnino.

Broke his kneecap
Playing soccer.

Good morning to you.

Oh, not for anna.

She just had her security
Clearance interview.

You get stripped searched?

They check for
Track marks?

Practically, yeah.

They're cracking down

Because of what
Happened to mark.

He starts back today?

I wish he'd take
Another week.

Keep his load light
For the first few days.

I don't want him
Working at all.

I want him helping me
Plan carol's surprise
Birthday party.

Doug...

Happy birthday, carol.

I got vomiting and
Diarrhea in four.

Happy birthday.

And I am taking

The quadruple bounce-back
Migraine in five.

Nothing like
Drug-seeking behavior
To start your day.

You promised me you
Wouldn't tell anybody
About my birthday.

That was last year.

You told everybody
Then, too.

At least I'm consistent.

You're right. Coffee...

Can wait.

What's this?

Uh, it's a coffee pot.

That is not
A coffee pot.

It's called a french press.

Oh, no more
Aluminum percolator?

No. We're going to have
Great coffee, which can wait.

( beeping sound )

What's that?

Uh, the microwave.

I'm just heating up
Some cinnamon buns.

The microwave.

Mm-hmm.

I always wanted
A microwave.

I know.

But you would never
Let me get one.

You said that it
Broke down the vitamins.

I know. I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Now, just come back over here.

This is nice.

I mean

This is really nice.

What happened?

She's getting close.

Nine centimeters.

I'm all right, peter.

Her contractions are strong.

They went from four
To nine in no time.

Why didn't you
Call me sooner?

Last time they gave me
That stuff, and it was fine.

Couldn't you have
Done something else?

This baby's coming.

It's two months early.

I know that.

You should have called me.

I did, hoping
You might want

To participate in the
Birth of your child.

If that's what
You'd like to do

I suggest you gown up

And get in here.

Hi.

Dr. Greene, right?

How are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

Who are you?

Anna del amico.

We met last week.

We didn't actually meet

But I was there when
You were attacked.

In the men's room?

No. In the trauma
Room afterwards.

I don't remember
Either room

So I don't remember you.

I start my emergency
Residency in july.

I'm doing an e.R.-pedes
Elective until then.

That was my first day.

I'm sorry it had
To be so exciting.

I'm just glad you're okay.

So, welcome back.

Thank you.

Where is everybody?

Mark, what're
You doing here?

Getting back to work.

Doug and carol
Are bringing in an m.V.A.

Hi.

Hey, mark,
How you doing?

Mark, welcome back.

It's nice
To be back.

What do we got?

Bicycle versus tour bus.

Don't worry, buddy.
We got it.

You just
Take it easy.

Settle in
Nice and easy.

Dr. Greene,
You look great.

Dr. Ross, o.B. Needs you
For that delivery.

Find dr. Del amico;
See if she can take it.

Mark, I'll talk
To you later.

She's at the desk.

Who?

Dr. Del amico--
She's at the desk.

Oh, right. Thanks.

Help me shift her down.

Breathe, carla.

Come on, baby,
Breathe.

How much mag
Did you give her?

Six gram load.

Had her on three an hour

Until she hit
Four centimeters.

Dorgan,
Scalp electrode.

Keep breathing.

You're doing great.

Dorgan. What kind
Of name is that?

Irish, through
And through.

And we've experience
Having a lot of babies.

Is she at risk
For corio-amnionitis?

Come on, carla, breathe.

Don't yell at me!

Did you give her
Any antenatal steroids.

12 milligrams betamethsone.

What about
Her blood sugar?

You're doing great.

It's not going
To be much longer.

You're going to be
Able to push soon.

What about a second dose?

This baby's going
To have r.D.S.

Peter, what is r.D.S.?

It's okay, carla.

It just means
That the baby's lungs

They haven't
Matured yet.
What?

You hold her hand,
You help her breathe

You help her focus.

That's your only
Job here, okay?

Now, get over there

And help the mother
Of your child.

There'll be two additional
Security cameras here.

And two at the
Employees entrance.

The ambulance bay doors
Will be changed over

To bulletproof glass

Which we'll also add
To your triage section.

The hospital agreed
To additional armed security

In your waiting room.

What about
The bathrooms?

Unfortunately,
Privacy issues

Won't allow us
To do that.

Yeah,
My assailant's privacy

Would have
Been violated.

We can only do
What we can do.

Thank you, mr. Biggers.

Mark, it's nice
To see you

But what are you
Doing here?

Working.

It's nice to see
You, too, chuny.

Mark, these additional
Security measures may not help

But they can't hurt.

What we should really
Be changing is the way

We deal with patients
And their families.

Yeah, keep them out.

They're a pain
In the ass.

Your compassion
Knows no bounds.

Oh, detective
Warrington called.

He can't make it by
Till later this afternoon.

You think that's
Who did this--

Some patient
Or family member?

I think that gives them
A good reason.

Louise pierson,
Ankle x ray three hours ago.

Where is it?

Discharge orders written
Over an hour and a half ago.

Chart's still here
So the guy's still here.

I mean, come on.

Med-surg admission,
5:30 this morning, still here.

Neuro consult,
E.T.A., 7:15 this morning.

Where are they?

We keep these people
Hanging around.

I'd get pissed off enough
To clobber somebody.

Before records
Clobbers me

Need you to sign off
These charts from last week.

I got them.

( groans )

I'm fine.

Coburn:
Push, push.

You're almost there.

Hi. I'm del amico
From pedes.

Janet coburn.
I thought ross
Was covering.

He's got a
Teenager m.V.A.

This is carla reese, mother,
Peter benton, father.

You just keep
On pushing

So I can take a look
At this little baby.

Mr. Benton,
How are you?

Dr. Benton--
He's a surgical resident.

Are you new here?

From children's
In philadelphia.

You a resident?
Yes.

Coburn:
How many deliveries
Did you attend?

I stopped counting
Around 200.

We've got a late decel here,
Dr. Coburn.

Carla's at 32 weeks.

Any meconium?
No. Fluid's clear.

Heart rate's dropping.

Where's the nicu nurse?

On her way.

Why isn't he coming?

He's coming, baby.

Let's get this baby
Out of here.

Dorgan, I need
Vacuum extraction.

Why vacuum extraction?

We're at 100 here.

That's why.

Number for respiratory therapy?

Dorgan:
3-3-9-4.

Uh, I brought
Some stuff in today

Because I knew
You'd be starting back.

What are you doing?

I know you'll be
A little resistant to this

But you'll feel a lot safer

If you carry something
On you for a while.

I don't even know
What this stuff is.

I've got cops in my family,
So I can get anything.

Electronic stun gun

Personal taser.

I don't think so.

At least, take
The pepper spray.

I appreciate it, really,
But, uh, it's not for me.

I'm not suggesting
You pack a gun

Although...
That's what I do.

You carry a gun?

Under the front
Seat of my car.

I was at the
Drive-thru once

And this punk sticks
A knife in my face

And wants my wallet.

So I reach under,
Grab the .357, stick it

Up his nose, and
Could that kid run.

Dr. Greene,
Welcome back.

Thanks.

Thanks, maggie,
But I'm going to pass.

Carter, are you
In the e.R. All day?

Yeah.

Great.
I'll need your help.

I don't really have
Full mobility

For procedures.

What is this stuff?

I was just trying...

( yelling )

I'm going to die!

Oh, my god!

Maggie, help me!

Just sit.

I'll get a nurse.

Just don't move.

Don't touch
Your eyes.

( screaming )

Push, push, push.

Come on, carla, breathe.

Got him.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

Blue and floppy.

Carla:
Peter, what is it?

I can't hear him.

What is it?

What's going on?
What's wrong.

Dele suction.

I don't like his color.

Come on.

Little guy, pink up for us.

Come on, let's go.

What's the apgar?

What's the apgar?!

Peter, back off.

Let her work.

Muscle tone zero,
One for reflex.

Two for
Heart rate.

Four out of ten.

Peter:
What are you doing?

You got to do something.
Let's go!

Please tell me
What's going on.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

They got him.

He's got
Retractions.

I need to tube him.

2.5.

Heart rate down.

Eighty-five.

Start compressions.

Draw up .02 epi.

Dorgan call nicu.

Tell them
We're on the way.

( laughing ):
I'm sorry!

I know it's
Not funny, but...

No, it's funny.

My whole life is just

One big fun fest.

Anspaugh hates me.

Benton looks at me
Like I'm some kind of an alien.

I think those things
Are in your favor, actually.

Right? Thank you.

When you
Were thinking

About med school, you were
Willing to start over?

All that work?

As opposed
To six more years

Of surgical residency
You've got ahead of you?

I see your point.

Carter, are you back
Among the living?

Yes, absolutely.

We got an m.V.A. Coming

In six, seven minutes.

I know it's not
My place to say

But he looks kind of bad.

( laughs )

You okay there, carla?

I'm just going to get
Everything ready for you.

Be right back.

Just hang in
There, carla.

You're almost there.

Pete...

What are we going to do?

Have you seen him?

I'll go check on him
As soon as I get you settled.

Just take it easy. Shh.

Just be a couple
Of more minutes.

Housekeeping
Hasn't finished.

Okay.

( sighs )

( baby cries )

( sighs )

One, two, three.

( greene groans )

Carter:
Rib?

Yeah.

Marquez:
We'll kick you out.

Normal vitals,
Oxygen at five liters.

You mind if I
Steal some saline?

Pupils are equal
And reactive

No hemotympanum.

Chest is clear,
Abdomen, soft and flat.

Pulse is 80, b.P. 120/75.

What's his name?

Pickman:
Harry smith.

Harry, you hear me?

( mumbling )

Greene:
Order something.

C.B.C., chem seven,
Type and screen.

Want to dip a urine?

Yeah, let's get a c-spine
Chest and pelvis.

It was a d.U.I.?

The guy was swerving

In and out of lanes
Only going 35.

He hit a pole.

Blood alcohol level?

There's no alcohol

On his breath.

Thanks for these.

Any time.

( greene yells )

Carter:
Whoa!

( loud grunt )

Okay. Get some
Ativan, two migs!

( sighs )

Where's tabash?

Well, he's with
Another patient.

Benton:
What's he ordered?

Everything.

C.B.C., lytes,
Blood cultures, what?

Yes. All that.

A.B.G., chest x ray?

Yes.

Tabash:
Dr. Benton.

Your son is stable
At the moment.

What labs have
You ordered?

We've done a complete
Septic workup.

No, I need to know
Exactly what you've ordered.

What, uh, labs,
What antibiotics.

Dr. Benton,
Your son's heart rate

Is 170 and his pulse ox
Is 91 on 100% oxygen.

We've taken a chest x ray

Drawn blood for c.B.C.,
Lytes and a.B.G.

And sent off a blood
Culture, a urine culture

An endotracheal
Aspirate culture

A spinal fluid culture

And started him on 100
Milligrams of ampicillin

And six milligrams
Of gentamicin.

He was hypotensive

With a blood pressure
Of 30/18

So he's received
Five percent albumin

10cc's per kilo

And we've started
Dopamine

Five mics per kilo
Per minute

And we'll titrate
To a map of 40.

Now, what you
Need to know--

What you need to share
With this child's mother--

Is that, at the moment,
The baby is stable

But critically ill.

Probably has a serious
Infection in his blood

And we don't know
If his lungs

Can provide enough oxygen
To sustain life.

Unfortunately,
We have no choice

But to wait and see
How he responds

To the present therapy.

Let's see how he's doing
In an hour.

That's when
We should talk again.

What's your son's name,
Dr. Benton?

He doesn't have one.

( sighs )

Carol? Hi. I've got
Some good news and bad news.

You'll tell me both.

The bad news is, your
Brothers and sisters-in-arms

Are planning
A surprise birthday
Party for you tonight.

You did this joke
This morning.

No, this is real.

I got invited.

I'm not listening.

The good news is, I know
You hate your birthday

So I got you out of it.

I do not hate
My birthday.

You always have. I told
Them you cannot make it

Because you're having
Dinner with me.

I do not believe
A word of this.

How many people wished you
A happy birthday today?

Just kerry, this morning.

Mm-hmm. And
How many people know

That it is your birthday?

You know theirs, right?

Well, yeah. We've worked
Together for years.

What is the one reason

Why you don't wish someone
Happy birthday

When it is their birthday?

Because they're
Planning a surprise party.

That's all I'm saying.

I somehow feel
You've trapped me into this.

Trapped you?

I saved you.

You should be
Buying me dinner.

I'll pick you up
Any time.

You name the place.

Got some gauze
Out here.

I'm out of here
As of an hour ago.

Randi, can you send that
Carla reese chart

Up to o.B., please?

Sure, I got it.

Did you say carla reese?

She just delivered

About an hour ago.

Carla?

You know her?

Not really. I remember her.

She came through

The e.R. A month ago.

She wasn't near
Being due.

I know. The boy's
Only 32 weeks.

Is he okay?

I don't know.

He's in the nicu.
Apgar was poor,
Had to intubate.

It's touch and go.

Is she doing all right?

She didn't have
Other complications

If that's what you mean.

I don't know how many
Preemies I've resuscitated.

I still haven't
Gotten used to it.

I'll see you all
Tomorrow.

See you.

Were you taking
That woman

With the eye pain,
Or was that maggie?

No. I'm taking her.

Don't keep
The patients waiting.

They might get angry
And beat you up.

Dr. Greene's on a rampage.

He'll settle back in.

Takes a couple more days.

Ross:
Hey, mark?

Hey, doug.

I've been missing
You all day.

How you doing?

I'm fine.
Feels good to be back.

Not too soon?

No. It was nice
Having time with rachel

But a week at home
Is all I could take.

Any word
From the police?

They're going to come by
This afternoon.

I gave them a list
Of names of patients
And family members

Who might have had
Reason to be that angry--

At least, the ones
I can remember.

You okay with this?

Yes and no.

Hasn't been the most
Pleasant experience

But it's kind of
A wake-up call.

A reminder that I
Can be abrupt with people

And it will sure backfire.

I don't know...

You've got
A five-year-old

With a wrist fracture
In four.

Child in pain.
Music to my ears.

I'll catch you later.
Get some lunch?

Okay.

Boulet:
I'm so sorry, peter.

( sighs )

The chest x ray showed
A diffuse, patchy infiltrate

And the endotracheal
Aspirate...

Showed gram negative
Bacteria.

He's got pneumonia,
Sepsis

Premature lungs and
Respiratory distress syndrome.

They just gave him surfactant

To, uh,
Try to open up his lungs.

How's carla doing?

She asked me to wait
Outside in the hall.

Probably haven't shared
This with anyone, have you?

Your family, the people
You work with?

You do have friends, peter.

A community.

I hope everything
Will be all right.

And you need to stop
Standing in the hall.

( groaning )

Keep your hands
On your side, mr. Lensky.

I can't. It hurts.

Yes, I think
We know that.

Pulse is 130,
B.P. Is 180/95.

Pre-op labs?

Yeah.

Have you been taking

A lot of ibuprofen lately?

Uh, yeah.

About eight tablets a day.

That's 'cause
I twisted my knee

Not because of this stomachache.

Dr. Carter...

Got a minute?

Sure. Connie, let's get
An upright chest x ray

And give ten of morphine,
Slow I.V. Push.

That'll help with your pain.

I'll be right back.

I'm just
Double-checking.

He's the "Writhing
And groaning in exam two"

Dr. Greene
Was concerned about?

Yeah. I didn't know
He was concerned.

He was worried the guy
Was waiting too long

For a surgical consult.

Ah. Mr. Lensky's got
A board-like abdomen

Absent bowel sounds

And rebound and guarding
In all four quadrants.

A perfed ulcer?

Sounds like it.
I ordered a film.

Have anspaugh check it out.

Okay.

Colles fracture.

Going to have to do
A closed reduction?

Yep. His dad too
Flipped out to watch?

His dad's sacked out
In curtain three

Having self-medicated
With ten of valium.

That's helpful.

Maybe we should get
A lollipop for russell.

Fentanyl oralet?

Mellow him out.

I'll have to order it
From central pharmacy.

We can try it without.

All right.

What we're going
To do here, buddy...

( screaming )

I'll just get
That lollipop.

Yeah, get that lollipop.

I want to give it
A little longer

But basically,
The surfactant
Didn't do much.

He's still
Requiring
100% oxygen

With high pressures
On the ventilator.

Okay, well, his mother's
Going to want to know

Everything that might happen.

Dr. Benton,
Every parent in here

Wants to know what might happen.

We just can't know for sure.

You know, I, uh...

Did a pedes surgery elective
Earlier this year

But I'm not up to speed
On all the, uh, sequelae.

You mean like retinopathy?

Yeah, exactly,
Although his eyesight

Should be the least of
Our worries right now.

We need to be more
Concerned about

Intraventricular hemorrhage,
Periventricular leulcomalacia

Necrotizing
Enterocolitis

And in a few weeks

Bronchopulmonary
Dysplasia.

All right, what do we do?

I'm concerned
About the high vent pressures

Causing lung damage

So I want
To switch
Him over

To an oscillating ventilator

And... We wait.

Hey, dr. Greene,
You got a second?

Yeah. What is it?

I got the head c.T. Back
On harry smith--

The slow-moving m.V.A.
From this morning.

It's negative, no bleed.

But I was talking
To his mother there

Filling out
Some paper work.

She said harry
Was on his way

To a pre-employment physical
For a new job.

She also let drop that
She was... Pretty relieved

That the cops didn't find
Any marijuana on him.

Carter, is this leading
To helping the patient?

His urine is like water.

Check this out.

Specific gravity: 10-0-5.

I think we should
Give him lasix.

It might be
Hyponatremia.

Water intoxication?

If he's worried
About a urine drug test

Maybe he thinks
He can dilute it

Or wash out
His system.

Transfer
On the l.O.L.

Back to her
Nursing home.

Did you hear anything
From that police detective

Who said he was coming by?

Haven't heard,
Haven't seen.

That's a good
Thought, carter.

Why don't you
Call the lab

And see if his
Lytes are back?

Okay.

Does that hurt?

That's why dr. Ross
Gave you that shot.

Nurse hathaway

She's going to pull
Down on your arm

And I'm going to push.

We're going to pop
That little bone

Right here
Right back in place, okay?

Ready to start?

Where's my dad?

Uh...

Taking a nap.

Uh, but he wanted us
To be here with you.

He sings to me.

He sings to you, does he?

So you'll do it?

Oh, I think dr. Ross would love

To sing to you, russell.

You know, nurse hathaway
Would like to join in...

But she doesn't
Know the words.

Oh, I believe I do,
Too, know the words

To whatever it is dr. Ross
Is going to sing to you.

Uh-huh.

( chuckles )

* hello, muddah

* hello, faddah...

* here I am at...

* camp granada...

( giggles )

* it is very...

Both:
* entertaining...

Pop it right there.

* and they say we'll have some
Fun if it stops raining... *

Wrap that up.

* I went hiking

* with joe spivy

* he did develop

* poison ivy...

You brought me
All the way down
Here for this?

He might have perfed
His stomach ulcer.

Of course he has.

There's free air
Under the diaphragm.

It's a slam-dunk,
No-brainer.

Drop an n.G.,
Consent him

And redline him
To the o.R.

Carter...

I realize you
Needed backup

But any senior resident
Could handle this.

So, please,
Think twice
Next time.

Good news,
Mr. Lensky.

We'll be able
To fix you up
Right away.

What is it?

You have an ulcer
Which has eaten

Through the lining
Of your stomach

But with surgery,
It can be easily repaired.

Surgery?

Yeah. It's a
Fairly routine...

I can't do surgery.

Well, let me explain.

It really is
The only option.

No, I feel better.

That's the morphine.

Nothing's really changed

With your condition.

Wait a second.
Listen to me.

You listen to me.

I will not have surgery

And you can't make me have it.

Leave me alone. I want to go.

Can you tell me why
You feel so strongly?

Something
Happen to you?

To somebody else?

Phew!

Mr. Lensky, I'm trying
To help you here

But I can't help you
If you leave

And I can't help you
If you won't tell me

What the problem is.

( sighs )

Of all the stupid things...

( sighs )

The gallbladder.

My dad was such a believer

In modern doctors,
Modern medicines...

"Oh, pop this thing out,
I'll be home tomorrow."

58 years old

And he dies having his stupid
Gallbladder taken out.

And the surgeon--

All he could talk about
Was how simple it was...

No big deal.

Afterwards, he came out
To the waiting room

He couldn't even look
My mother in the eye.

He gave us the news and spouted
Some fancy medical words

And all I could think was,
"You lying son of a bitch!"

( sighs )

We shouldn't have
Believed him, dr. Carter.

How can I believe you?

I talked to him
About his father's
Gallbladder operation.

I explained
Why his surgery
Would be different.

I couldn't
Get him to budge.

I don't know
What to do.

Not much you can do;
It's his decision.

He needs to get
To the o.R.--
Not to mention

Anspaugh's going to take
My head off one more time.

I know we can't
Override the consent

For emergency surgery.

No, but I read
A paper somewhere.

About forme fruste, ulcers
That spontaneously seal off.

Do a paper chase search

See what you can
Come up with.

Maybe I should do
A hypaque upper g.I.

See what's
Going on in there.

Good idea.

Carter...

These labs
Came back for you

On harry smith.

"Sodium 115"?

I don't believe it.
I was right.

This guy's been drinking
Buckets of water.

He's also waking up
If you want

To talk to him.

Yeah, yeah.
Where's dr. Greene?

Can I get you
Anything to drink?

Sure. I'll take a pop
If you've got one.

So, it's good news.

All the leads you gave us
Came out clear.

What?

Yeah, every one
Checked out.

The patients,
The families?

Everyone you gave us.

There wasn't
Anything on anyone?

Doc, usually, people
Are pretty glad to hear that.

They don't like things happening
In their own backyard.

Right.

Right.

You okay?

Sure.

I see you made
A pretty quick recovery.

Yeah. It wasn't as bad
As I thought it was going to be.

We'll keep investigating,
Of course.

( pager beeps )

Got to go.

Dr. Greene...

Later, carter.

I was right about
The water intoxication guy.

Sodium was 115.
He drank three gallons.

That's great, carter.

Great, terrific,
Wonderful.

Admit to medicine.

It's not that
It's a better
Or a worse option;

It just may be the only
Other thing to consider.

Babies can respond
To inhaled nitric oxide

And it can improve
Their oxygenation.

In full-term babies.

That's correct.

It's still being studied
In premature infants.

We're participating

In a national
Multi-center trial.

There is a small series
Which showed that nitric

Did improve oxygenation
By 50% on average.

Now, half of those kids did
Develop bleeding in the brain

But no one knows
If the gas caused that.

Bleeding in the brain.

There would be a risk
Of retardation

And cerebral palsy.

Yeah, but if we keep doing
What we're doing now

Then there's a risk
Of permanent lung disease.

Yes, and possible
Brain damage

If the oxygen level
Falls too low.

That's a hell of a choice.

How do I make that decision?

Dr. Benton, I wish
I could answer that question

For every parent

I talk to
Every single day.

Dr. Tabash?

Talk it over
With the baby's mother

And let me know soon.

Okay.

Excuse me.

( sighs )

Mark.

I'm an idiot, kerry.

I'm a complete idiot.

Was that the police detective
You'd been waiting for?

It wasn't an angry patient.

It wasn't a family member
Of an angry patient.

It wasn't chris law.

It wasn't mr. Gunther.

It wasn't that crazy guy

Who was yelling
About krishna.

They checked everybody out.

Yeah.

I thought I was
Remembering it
Piece by piece

Like a puzzle
That would all
Come together.

But the chicago
Police department

Was nice enough
To inform me

That I am simply the victim
Of a random act of violence.

You knew that, mark

Patient or no patient.

No. What I knew
Is that everything I do

Every day of my life, I do
Because I'm not the victim.

I treat the victim,
I cure the victim

I watch them
Roll the victim out

Like a piece of meat

But the truth is

I'm the piece of meat.

Yeah, but we can't think
About that, can we?

Because we're the ones
Who see what goes on out there.

We're the ones
Who know every single day

Some child won't
Make it home from school

Some father won't
Make it home from work.

But if we
Allowed ourselves

To think that could be us

We couldn't walk out
Of our front door.

The problem is,
That is us.

No, mark.

The problem is, it makes us
Like everyone else.

Dr. Anspaugh, I was just
Coming up to see you.

Where in the hell
Is that perfed ulcer?

We should have had him
In and out two hours ago.

Actually, that's why
I wanted to talk.

Mr. Lensky prefers
Not to have surgery.

Well, nobody
Wants surgery.

So... What?

I've discovered that
He doesn't really need it.

Of course, he needs it.

There's a hole
In his stomach.

If we don't repair
That perf, he's at risk

For peritonitis,
Sepsis-- death.

If you look

There's the ulcer,
But no leak.

It spontaneously sealed itself
Off against the liver.

This patient was
Redlined to the o.R.

Who in the hell
Ordered an upper g.I.?

I did.

You were supposed
To consent him.

He doesn't want surgery.

He needs surgery.

Maybe not.

I found an article
That shows me

That he could be treated
Medically...

Which is what he wants.

Do you think this is about

What he wants?

Yeah...

I guess, a little bit.

Well, you're wrong, carter.

This job is about
Determining

What a patient needs

And the best way
For us as surgeons

To meet that need

And as surgeons, we cut.

Dr. Anspaugh, as a doctor,
If I can find a way

To do what my patient wants
That's medically acceptable

Then I think
That's what I should do

And I don't believe
I should cut somebody open

Just because I can.

It bothers me, carter

That this patient is
Willing to risk death

Rather than undergo
A simple surgical procedure

But you know,
It bothers me
Even more

That you are so willing

To help him do that.

Oh! Sorry.

Mark! I still really
Need you to sign off

On these q.A. Reviews.

I don't have time
Right now.

But I'm off in five;
I just wanted to get...

Lily, why don't you
Just leave them

At the desk for me,
All right?

Done...

Done.

You look very nice
Tonight, dr. Ross.

Thank you, e. Ray.

E. Ray,
Can you file these?

I'll certainly ask miss kelly
If she'll do that.

Miss kelly?

She's our temp clerk
Tonight.

Why a temp?

I'm sorry, carol.

I don't think
That's your business.

Okay.

( chuckling )

Good night.
Good night!

Grab a burger?

Yeah. He is so strange--
Where did we find him?

Mark?

Nina... Damn, I was
Supposed to call you.

Yes-- although I hate having you
Think of it that way.

It's been really busy.

Good first day back?

Completely fabulous.

Did you call dr. Gillum?

That p.T.S.D. Guy?

Well, you are post-trauma.

Look, I know I need
Some time to settle back in

But it's not like

I'm a postal worker
With an a.K.-47.

Excuse me.

I-I know you're not.

I'm-I'm just trying to help
Any way that I can.

I know, and-and
I appreciate it.

I'm-I'm fine.

Everything's getting
Back to normal.

Mark, I don't like you
Trying to cover with me.

I don't like you trying to be

A shrink with me.

How's rachel doing?

She's, uh,
Sleeping over

At a friend's house tonight.

Great. Tell her I say hi.

Sure.

( sighing )

Hey, peter,
How you doing?

How is she?

Well, remarkably well,
Considering.

She's a pretty strong lady.

Oh, god, dr. Coburn,
I wanted to apologize

For my behavior this morning
In the delivery.

Thank you, but it's
Unnecessary.

I've never met a father
Who could handle it

Sensibly, calmly,
Maturely.

If I ever do,
That's the guy

I'm really going
To slap around.

Yeah.

Today was the first day
I was ever afraid.

Well, I'm glad to
Hear that, peter.

I better get back in here.

Yeah. I'll check
On her again

Before I leave.

Hey, carla.

I made the bed.

Isn't that the stupidest thing

You've ever seen?

I spoke to dr. Tabash.

He presented

Another option
For the baby.

I think we should
Consider it.

There are a lot
Of serious risks involved

So I'm going to try to explain
Them to you, and, uh...

Then we have a decision
To make, okay?

You don't have to change
For me.

I'm not changing for you.

You said we were going
To grab a burger.

We can get some burgers
At the pump room.

Doug, I'm not wearing
Scrubs to the pump room.

Okey-doke.

I don't know, I think
It would be rather daring.

Surprise!
Surprise!
Surprise!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, carol!

Oh, doug,
I hate you for this.

Worked out well,
Don't you think?

What are you doing?

Waiting for you.

Come on-- right this way.

( laughing ):
What are you doing?

Come on, come on,
Just come over here.

Have a seat.

Okay.

( sighing )

What's this?

A little something

For you.

A garage door opener.

Go ahead, try it.

I always wanted
One of these.

I know.

You always said
They were stupid.

Well, they are stupid.

I don't get why a person

Can't just open
Their damn door.

( both chuckling )

I think this is the nicest thing

You've ever done
For me.

That's pretty pathetic.

I love it.

I love it.

Let's have a beer.

Okay!

( both laughing )

Ah...

Hathaway:
This is special, doug.

I love having
2o people over--

Especially when I have
So much to serve them.

Here. Peel an orange.

Will you lighten up?

They brought booze.

Okay, I'll lighten up.

I'll, uh, just have
A sip of this milk.

You just drink that
Right out of the carton

Like that?

What's wrong with that?

Well, it's just kind of
A "Guy" thing to do...

Um, you know, uh...

So, doug, what is
All this about?

What is what about?

This little dance
You did today...

This-this party... You.

( sighing ):
Well, I know you haven't
Had very good birthdays

Last couple of
Years, and...

The ones I spent with you?

The ones I forgot.

And, uh... I just thought...

I just thought it's time
You have a nice one.

You want a sip of milk?

Yes, well, I would love
A sip of this milk.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Dr. Weaver.

Hi.

Can I talk to you
For a minute?

Uh... Sure.

I know this isn't the right
Time or the right place

But I was just curious:

Um... What would be involved

With getting into
Emergency medicine?

What do you mean?

Well, if one wanted
To change his residency

Would you have to
Redo your intern year?

Has one talked to dr. Greene
About this?

Ah! No.

You saw how he was
In the hall.

( coughing )

( panting )

( groaning )

( breathing deeply )

All:
* happy birthday to you

( hathaway laughing )

* happy birthday to you

* happy birthday,
Dear carol *

* happy birthday to you.

Oh, my god!

Blow them out!

Make a wish!

So many candles on this cake.

What am I, 55?

Uh, yeah!

Hold on, hold on.
One second...

Oh! I almost forgot.

Oh! Wait a minute.

Ah!
Ah!
Ah!

And me, too.

It's so your wishes come true.

Make it a good one!

Make a wish!

Happy birthday!

I want my wish!

All right, carol!

You go, girl!

You still look good!

Happy birthday!

All right!

Happy birthday!

All right!

( cheering, applause )

All right, carol!

All right, carol.

( rhythmic rumbling )
