ER

Previously on ER...

Peter!
Oh, hi, Lizzie.

I think it's about time
you and I had a little sit-down.

Is there a problem?

- Am I hearing jealousy?
- I just that I think you're trouble.

- What about his heroin addiction?
- It wasn't heroin. It was painkillers.

I'll do an ultrarapid detox
and end his addiction today.

You're gonna keep him hiden here
for 12 hours?

I found Doug in Exam 4,
detoxing this baby.

What! You're gonna explain this to the
Administration and the Executive Committee!

You lied to me, Doug.
You looked me right in the face and lied.

"A Hole In The Heart"

That's not fair.

You wouldn't have let me do it.

You couldn't monitor him!

EKG, pulse ox, end-tidal CO-2,
and invasive BP.

- You never got consent.
- From his methadone-chugging mom?

DCFS would have followed through
if you'd left it alone.

His development is already stunted.

Been expecting you.
Your desk clerk just called.

- Admit orders?
- None.

Here's everything
you need right there.

Start him on labetalol titrate 0.5 q
five minutes to a diastolic of 60.

Alexander Babcock,
pediatric anesthesiologist.

Kerry Weaver, Acting Chief of ER.
This is Josh McNeal, 7 months old-

The boy was born addicted to heroin.
I put him on an ultrarapid detox.

- A couple have been done in the US.
- It's still an experimental procedure.

BP's not bad, 150/90.

This boy needs to be stabilized
and put back on methadone...

...until Administration and Legal
reviews the case.

- What did you use to induce?
- Ketamine and Narcan.

- Propofol's better.
- ER didn't have it.

But we got it up here. D/C the
ketamine and three mgs of propofol.

Then 150 mics per kilo per minute.

You're continuing with this?

The approach seems
medically reasonable.

You cannot perform procedures
on children without permission.

It seems in the best interest of the
child to complete what's been started.

- Who's the follow-through?
- I am.

I'm off work till tomorrow,
so I'll stay.

Your actions are totally
irresponsible.

You've broken every rule and
regulation we have in the ER.

What happens here won't change that.

I want him to have a shot at life.
I don't care about rules.

I hope you also don't care about
being an ER Pediatric Attending.

You've given up any chance of that.

- Mark, 7:00.
- What?

Seven o'clock. Rise and shine.

Did you hear from the PICU
about that baby?

Haleh just went off duty.
She didn't mention anything.

Am I supposed to wake up Dr. Weaver?

- She stayed too?
- Snoozing in Exam 4.

Let her sleep.

Come on, girls. Sweep, sweep, sweep!

- Randi's in my way!
- I'm supposed to be here!

- Curling?
- We were inspired by Nagano.

Three years and nine months
left till Salt Lake City.

These crazy white folk.

You having a slumber party?

No. Did you hear anything from Doug?

No. Is that why you spent the night?

I was nostalgic for my residency.
I thought Carol was here.

She is. But she's on a break.

There's no new patients,
why'd you wake me?

- Haleh said 7:00.
- That was for Dr. Weaver.

Forget it.
I'll just get some breakfast.

Can you call Anspaugh
and find out his schedule?

- I need a meeting with him soon.
- Okay.

- You didn't answer me.
- No idea how they got their names.

The drinks go down so smoothly
at the Velvet Lounge.

- I wouldn't know that.
- That's what this is about.

I was drinking and you weren't.

- You know I don't drink.
- You think I drink too much.

Damn it, we missed the 7: 10.

We can get the next one and
cross over at Madison.

No, I can't. I've gotta go to Carla's
and pick up Reece for daycare.

You always like this
after a night out?

What? We saw the whole show.

We didn't need to stay
for another set.

- I thought we were having a good time.
- We were.

Until I made that song request.
The look on your face...

There's some places that you go
to listen to the music, just listen.

So it's not like the pub
where you can play darts...

...nobody cares if you drink too much
or put something stupid on the jukebox.

I'm saying in a place like that,
it wasn't cool.

Well, if you ask me,
being cool seems somewhat limiting.

You taking this one?

Yes, I think I will.
I'll see you in there?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Why didn't you wake me?
I have a meeting with Anspaugh.

We woke up Dr. Greene by mistake.
We just got two bounce-back migraines.

One's mine.

A fractured clavicle, complaining
of coldness to his hand.

A suicidal guy with intention marks
to his left wrist.

Who else is on?

Del Amico, Jeanie and Carter
are coming.

In other words, they're late.
I'm the only one here. Why is that?

Thank you, Lydia. I'll be right out.

- I thought you might want a refill.
- I just got one. Thanks.

- I hear it's supposed to rain.
- You want to talk about last night?

- It's very serious what Doug did.
- You mean what we did, don't you?

It's the nature of your job...

...to assist a doctor when
they ask you.

I was there because I wanted to be.
Not because Doug asked me.

I'm sure you were. Doug can be
pretty passionate about these kids.

Oh, give me a little credit, Mark.

You think I'm a fresh-faced nursing
student under the doctor's spell?

I'm only saying that Legal
and Administration...

...are going over every
detail of this case.

I'd hate to see it reflect
on your record.

So you're saying I should fudge
my involvement?

Tell the truth. Tell them
you were assisting a doctor.

I insisted on being there because...

...Doug was working in the best
interest of the patient.

And that's my job.
Every bit as much as it is his.

I gotta get back.

We had our noses pressed on the glass.

The tracks moved right beneath us.

- You've never done that before?
- No.

All you have to do is ask.

- Hi.
- John.

Have you ever ridden in the front car
of the El? With the driver?

- I don't think so.
- Anna and Dr. Rosher just did.

Max. Please. Max.

Max. See you.

- That sounds exciting.
- Yeah.

Max just asked the guy if we could.

- Pretty clever.
- Well, thank you, John.

You'll give me that one.
But maybe not the next.

I gotta go pry a kid's leg
out of a shopping cart.

Call Maintenance.
Bolt cutters'll do it.

Right.

Does feel cold.

That's what I'm saying.
It's the damnedest feeling.

Nails are cyanotic, cap refill's poor
and he barely has a radial pulse.

Doesn't sound good.

I want to get an ultrasound and an
angiogram to rule out a blood clot...

...which affects
blood flow to your hand.

Whatever you need to do.
I've got great insurance.

You get excellent care
here even without it.

- Can I talk to you?
- Of course.

Can you get consent from Mr. Wass
and schedule him?

Okay.

I have a call into Anspaugh's office
to talk about Doug.

- I'm seeing him in a few minutes.
- We need to be involved.

My meeting's about something that's
been on his calendar for a while.

- I'll set up another for us two.
- Let me know the time.

Don't worry, I will.

Send home the rule-out appy in 3
with the diagnosis of constipation.

Is there a good trauma on its way?

No. But this letter came down
for you from Dr. Romano.

He's a weird little dude, isn't he?

- Did he drop this off himself?
- No. It was his secretary, I think.

Where is he now, do you know?

It's not my job to keep track
of stuff like that.

On our way in he drank all of
his juice without spilling.

Go play.

There you go.

Is he pretty responsive to you
these days?

As responsive as a one-year-old
can be. Why?

Sometimes it's hard
to get his attention.

Have you had his hearing checked?

- What?
- It's not a problem.

Just things we notice.

Reece. Reece. Come here, man.

Come here. Come here.

Oh. I know. I know.

He seems pretty responsive to me.

He probably gets distracted
by all the other kids.

Listen, Carla's gonna pick him up
around 4, okay?

Sure. That's fine, Dr. Benton.

Who's hiding?

Who's hiding?

Hi, Reece.
Who are you playing with today, huh?

I just feel so ridiculous.

I never really meant to kill myself.

So it wasn't just an accident?

You see, my wife and I, we had
a fight, you know? And...

So I went out to my workshop...

...I brought a glass of
orange juice with me...

...and I dropped the glass and...

...when it broke, there was a shard
lying there and I just...

I was just so angry.

- So it was impulsive.
- It was stupid, is what it was.

I worried my wife.
Although it's nice to know she cares.

- This is Jeanie Boulet.
- I'm a Physician's Assistant.

I'll suture up your cuts.
Shouldn't be more than a few stitches.

A Psychiatric Resident
will speak to you.

Oh, listen, I'm fine. Okay?

This was just a mistake.
I really don't need that.

We're sure it was. But it's
required in a case like this.

Oh, man.

Give it more time.

Kerry.

Hi.

We're finishing up.

Doug called an emergency meeting
to fill us in on Josh McNeal.

I'm familiar with it.

Because of the circumstances, I wanted
to bring everyone up to speed.

Doug has admitted to
stepping over the line.

But he prevented the baby
from going home.

Anesthesia and Pediatrics
needed to be involved.

And he needed to get
the mother's consent.

He wouldn't have gotten it
if it meant losing her methadone.

I knew Max was doing
a feasibility study on ER Pediatrics.

I didn't want to jeopardize that.

I think it's still the best thing
for County General.

Doug, I don't want to minimize
the ramifications of this.

- But thank you for coming forward.
- Sure.

If you'll excuse me,
I want to get to PICU.

Doug, thanks. We'll talk.

Don, I don't think I need to tell you
that Doug's actions...

...violated every policy we have
regarding patient care.

I know. And there'll be
a full review and QA.

It may not go so well for him.
But I must say...

...he's certainly there
for his patients.

I'm sorry this has eaten
into our time.

What is it that you wanted to
talk to me about?

Well, as you know, when David
Morgenstern had his Ml last fall...

...I took over as Acting Chief
of Emergency Medicine.

And you've done a fine job...

...with the exception of that
little Ellis West/Synergix fiasco.

With Dr. Morgenstern having resigned,
it seems appropriate for me...

...to be Chief of ER.

The department is running well, and we
owe you many thanks for your efforts.

Well, I think everyone's
responded to my authority.

So it's just a simple change
in title.

I'm glad you'd like to be considered
for the position.

We will be doing a national
search for the best candidate.

But I'm happy you're throwing
your hat in the ring.

- A national search?
- County policy, as I'm sure you know.

Excuse me.

Don Anspaugh.

How's he doing?

Pretty stable. Turned off
the propofol a half-hour ago.

When's Doug gonna extubate?

I figured I'd give him
a couple more minutes.

Hey.

I was in the middle of
a pretty decent dream.

- Was I there?
- Big-time.

Did I do the right thing?

Yeah. You did.

Even if we both get fired for it?

That would just be icing on the cake.

Kit, you ready to extubate him?

He's breathing spontaneously.

Vitals?

Afebrile, BP's stable 90/70.

Suction cath.

Okay, buddy.

Prove us right.

Get ready to bag him.

I'll do it.

Here we go.

Pulse ox?

Holding steady. 98 percent.

Do you think he's gonna make it?

Too soon to tell.

- Shirley, I'm looking for Dr. Romano.
- He's not here.

- Do you have his schedule?
- He's not here.

He went to some head-and-neck
conference in Costa Rica.

- He doesn't do head-and-neck.
- Maybe he wants to learn.

Maybe he's just playing golf.

- So when's he due back?
- Teresa does the travel scheduling.

Lovely. Where can I find her?

Right here. Except she's on a break.

I wanted to inform you on a patient.

He's a 7-month-old boy,
addicted to heroin.

- His mom stole his methadone.
- You know?

Doug briefed us with your Chief
and some of the Pedes.

There was a meeting?

Kerry, I'm sure, can give you
the highlights.

Anspaugh seemed calm. But, man,
if that had happened at CHoP...

...Doug would've been fired.
Anyway, I gotta go to chart hell.

- You seen Kerry?
- No. Sorry.

We're concerned you get angry
in a self-destructive way.

Look, I know I should handle
it better. Okay? And I will.

But I really don't want to
stay overnight.

I'm not a crazy person.
This was just stupid.

I need to talk to you
for a minute, Dr. Meyers.

Excuse us a moment.

- He isn't staying?
- I don't have a reason to keep him.

I pulled up his old records. He's
been here 3 times in the past year.

Migraines, abdominal pain, back pain.

- Think he's drug-seeking?
- He wants help.

Depression is not grounds
for admission.

- Hell, that'd be half the city.
- He's released?

He's responsive, doesn't seem
suicidal or psychotic...

...and he's willing to come in
for a follow-up.

I wish we could do more.

He's fighting with his wife,
job isn't good-

I know; half the city.

- Have you seen Dr. Weaver?
- Usually she's everywhere.

Do you think it's too late
to reconsider my ER residency?

Oh, you getting bored?

Oh, I just cleaned out
an old guy's ears.

And dislodging a 5-year-old
from a shopping cart-

- Any unsickly patient is good.
- Stop complaining.

- By 9:00, I'd been puked on twice.
- I also did two bowel disimpactions.

Do you want to answer
the phones instead?

Why don't you take
the coma patient in 4.

- Paramedics have a double trauma.
- Double?

Two Elvis impersonators crashed
into Lake Michigan. Cool.

- Ooh. Maybe, Dr. Greene, I could...
- No, take the coma patient.

Jeanie, Anna...

...how about getting a handle
on the "Elvi. "

We got your Over-the-Hill Elvis.

Here's Junior Elvis. Parachuted out
of a plane to land on a pier.

Lines got tangled. Lake landing.

But he's up there picking his pimples.

- Can't skydive to save his life.
- At least I can do Elvis.

That's more than I can say
for you.

I was doing Elvis before
you was even born.

- I'll be doing him after you're dead.
- Shall we?

You need anticoagulation therapy in
order to prevent any further clotting.

- In the hospital?
- Not necessarily.

There's a fairly new drug,
enoxaparin...

...which you inject under the skin
in your abdomen twice a day.

My wife could do that.

You're an excellent candidate for it.

Or you'd have to stay here
for a few days-

I don't want to do that.
I'll take the drug.

Okay, good.

Kerry, I need to talk to you now.

Sure. Nurse Jarvik will
discharge you.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome. What do you got?

Two jokers fell in the lake out
of an airplane or something.

That Doug Ross meeting
happened this morning.

- It sure did.
- I asked specifically to be notified.

Mark, nobody told me either.
I just walked in on it.

You could've mentioned it so I didn't
have to hear about it third-hand.

- I had patients. Give the bullet.
- I already did.

Give it again.

- A Junior Elvis-
- Jeanie, we've got this. Help Anna.

Tell that wanna-be his "Heartbreak
Hotel" sucks the big one.

Oriented and alert.
Vitals normal. BP 120/70.

Cap refill's fine.

BP's high. 180/120.

- Good luck.
- Better here than in there.

Those two make the Elvises
sound like Boy Scouts.

- Spin a crit and dip a urine.
- Want a Chem-7?

Sure.

- Why didn't they tell us?
- Why don't you ask your pal Doug?

- Do you think there'll be an inquiry?
- Hopefully, Doug will let us know.

Why're you angry at me?
I didn't detox a baby and hide it.

But giving him an inch,
he gets away with a mile.

- So this is my fault?
- It's not a question of fault.

It's about style. You close your eyes
and hope things will disappear.

Here.

When I try to come down firmly,
you tell me to pull back...

...you fight me and it'll disappear.
It's not disappearing this time, is it?

It's not the time or place
to discuss this.

Chuny, let's repeat a BP, please.

- Mrs. Lang, this is Dr. Carter.
- How do you do, Mrs. Lang?

I've just been going over your chart.

- I see your husband has-
- I couldn't wake Bill up this morning.

He was diagnosed 14 months ago
with brainstem glioblastoma.

They tried to do radiation therapy.
But that didn't work.

He's had some visual disturbances
and some paralysis.

But we were not expecting this.

We'll do everything that we can.

Let's order an MRl with gadolinium.

Get in a Neurosurgery consult and
the Oncology Fellow on call.

I hope it's okay
that we opened the window.

Bill, he just loves the smell
of the rain.

That's fine, Mrs. Lang.

Last time I complain about
kids in shopping carts.

- What?
- Never mind.

- Oh, hi, Adele.
- Hey, Carol.

This is Vicki McNeal.
This is Josh McNeal's mother.

Baby Josh, right.

- Hi.
- She'd like to see her son.

- Thanks.
- Dr. Benton.

- Randi, an audiologist is gonna call.
- An "audi"- what?

Hearing tests. Write it down.

But we've got an MVA coming in.
A Mazda versus a milk truck.

I'm just signing charts.

But I can't find Dr. Corday. Upstairs
says she's checking out Costa Rica.

- What?
- That's what I said. About the MVA?

Oh, damn it.

- Dumar, what do we have?
- Sam Wiser, 32. Head-on TC.

Head, neck and abdominal trauma.

- Did she ask about consent?
- I don't know what Adele told her.

Ms. McNeal.

Is he gonna be all right?

Well, he's stable. His blood
pressure's holding steady.

He's sleepy. But it's expected after
a prolonged sedation and intubation.

Intubation?

A tube down his throat
to help him breathe.

He was asleep while they did it.

I explained to Vicki about
the ultrarapid detox.

How the drugs'll be out of his system.

So he'll be able to sit up
like other kids.

We believe he'll be able to catch up.

The procedure went well.
We just have to wait and see.

So what I wanted to know then,
Dr. Ross, is...

...could you do the same thing for me?

I'm gonna kill you!

Why? You offered.
You get my patty melt?

Yes, I got your patty melt.

Hey, will you help this gentleman?
He's looking for Dr. Weaver.

Sir?

- Can I help you?
- Yes. I'm looking for Dr. Weaver.

Dr. Weaver?

- Mr. Wass, what are you doing back?
- I couldn't get the enoxaparin.

It's $500.
My insurance won't cover it.

They'll only cover something called
heparin or Coumadin.

- Coumadin.
- I should be on that?

You need to be hospitalized for those.
I'll call the insurance company.

Can you get Mr. Wass' insurance
information and put a call in, please?

Carol, you know, I had a meeting
with Dr. Anspaugh this morning.

There will be an executive committee
review of the Josh McNeal case.

Doug told me.

It'd be in your best interest
to document your participation...

...while it's still fresh.

Oh, that experience isn't
going away anytime soon.

You should hope neither you
nor Doug Ross is either.

Dr. Weaver? Mr. Wass' insurance?

Thank you.

Yeah, Dr. Weaver. No. No, no, no.

I don't want the claims department.
I need a medical supervisor.

Mrs. Lang?

MRl is backed up.
It'll be a little while longer.

I've got Nurse Hathaway checking.

He is gonna wake up, isn't he?

His doctors thought we had longer.

We really won't know anything until
we get those test results back.

Is there a phone here?
I want to call my daughter.

She's a freshman in college.

Tulane Drama School.

She didn't want to go because of
her dad. But Bill, he insisted.

He said that it was enough that
his life was being put on hold.

I don't know.

Maybe we made a mistake.

Looks like an avocado.

Dr. Corday.

Sorry I'm late.

You were on trauma call when
Mr. Wiser was brought in.

Dr. Benton was kind enough to cover
while I was away.

You've reviewed the chart?

- Avulsed gallbladder.
- Can I get some suction here, please?

Let's say you find a significant
pancreatic injury.

Crushed duodenum and common
bile duct. What are you going to do?

A Whipple, which as you know...

...I performed solo back in England
prior to my fellowship.

Yes. I think I did know that.

Speaking of fellowships,
can I ask you...

...about the possibility of
sponsorship for next year.

What about Dr. Romano?

It seems Dr. Romano doesn't wish
to continue with me.

What?

He served me notice today.

And he's unavailable at some head-
and-neck conference in Costa Rica.

It's too late to arrange another
fellowship at County General.

We're past application deadlines.

I was hoping for individual
consideration...

...since I've spent a year here.

The committee always
seems to frown on that.

- You really want to stay in the US?
- Very much so, yes.

If it's staying in America,
you could marry an American.

- Shirley.
- Sorry, Dr. Anspaugh.

Your guidelines are wrong.

He needs anticoagulation therapy.
And he doesn't need to be admitted.

- Dr. Weaver.
- What is it?

The renal failure guy's here.

Okay. I'll be there when I can.

You know, I would like to get your
name. Rufhauer? Rufhauer.

Louis Palmieri, 84. End-stage renal
failure. Full cardiopulmonary arrest.

His femoral dialysis catheter
had been disconnected.

- Sheets were drenched with blood.
- Will he be okay?

Would you stand back please?

No pulse or heart sounds. Intubated.
Two amps epi, two of atropine.

Reattached saline to the catheter,
two liters. That does it.

- No pulse?
- No.

Amp of bicarb and a high-dose epi,
five milligrams.

- Please be okay, Louis, huh?
- No heart sounds. He's PEA.

Spin a crit and four units O-neg.

- Try a transthoracic pacemaker?
- Yes.

- What?
- Getting his heart going.

- Turn up the gain.
- You a relative?

- Not exactly.
- It's not capturing.

- You did come with him.
- Yeah.

I drop by his house every week.

Mrs. Lang? Your husband's
MRl results are done.

The tumor is blocking his...

It's a blockage that's increasing
intracranial pressure.

- And that's causing the coma?
- Yes.

So can it be unblocked?

Yes. A neurosurgeon can perform
a ventriculostomy.

So Bill could come out of this?

He could.

The outcome is problematic.

Your husband would have
very little time.

And it may cause him
a great deal of pain.

He would most likely die
of respiratory failure.

But Bill would wake up?

I mean, I could talk to him again
and he could hear me?

Yes.

Or he could stay the way he is
now and die peacefully.

- She wants to handle the funeral?
- He has no family.

- What's her relationship?
- Friend.

- She looks like a hooker.
- She is.

She's been "attending" him
twice a week.

- Did you say he had a Foley catheter?
- Yes.

- Excuse me, Miss...?
- Myra.

Miss Myra. I wonder if you could
tell me exactly what happened.

I've been seeing Mr. Palmieri twice
a week for the past couple of years.

It wasn't a lot of money. But then
I was only providing manual relief.

But today my bracelet here got
caught on that little tube.

When I pulled back, it popped out.

The next thing I know is,
there's blood everywhere.

- So I called 911 right away.
- I see.

Dr. Weaver, some insurance company's
on the phone.

I'll be right there. Excuse me.

I say give her the body.

You were here a little while ago
talking to Dr. Greene.

Yeah.

Have you seen a vial of Percocet?
I lost it around the drug lock-up.

No, I haven't.
But I'll keep my eyes open.

- there's always a pile of these.
Now I gotta pore over these.

Went through the last two weeks.
You guys do a lot of kids.

- Elizabeth.
- I haven't much time right now.

- I'm trying to catch Langstaff.
- Langstaff?

I've heard she isn't too keen
on her Fellow.

Thinking of letting him go.
I want to get a word in.

Well, shouldn't you wait to see
if she does let him go?

I want to let her know I'm available.

And desperate.

Excuse me?

I mean, asking Dr. Anspaugh
in the middle of an operation?

- He didn't seem put off. Why're you?
- I'm not put off.

If it's about me hanging you up,
I'm sorry. I appreciate you covering.

I wasn't hung up. Yeah...

...I would've appreciated a page
letting me know about Romano's letter.

Look, I would have discussed it
with you.

Romano was my first priority. That
bastard didn't even give me a reason.

He's not required to. He sponsored
you. I mean, it's his call.

You're taking this in stride.

It's not necessarily about you.

It's very much about me.

You don't know how hard
I worked to get here.

- I do know what it takes.
- Then why aren't you being supportive?

You're doing it the wrong way.

You're running all over, asking
every surgeon to sponsor you.

So, what do you suggest?

You haven't checked out other
hospitals, other parts of the country.

I've built up relationships here.
Or so I thought.

I'm not saying I want you
to leave Chicago.

No. But you're not passionate
about my fight to stay.

- Whatever goes on between us-
- Peter.

You ready to scrub on
that small bowel infarction?

Yes, sir.

Please let me finish. You understand
that admitting the patient-

- I need you to sign.
- I'm not working.

- These are from yesterday.
- I'm not working.

Josh McNeal is doing much better.

You didn't tell me about the meeting-

No! I mean, your policy
is not sound, Dr. Stork.

It's obscene. I mean, you're
spending 10,000 to save 500!

Then so be it! I will admit
Mr. Wass to this hospital!

And I look forward to billing you for
every damn dime we can possibly spend!

- Admit Mr. Wass.
- Want me to call them?

- That'll help.
- I don't know what helps anymore.

- I don't care. Because I quit.
- What?

I quit as Acting Chief of Emergency.
Let somebody else "act. "

Wait.

Why am I the only idiot
who's worrying about policy?

Doug's got the right idea. Break
the rules if it helps the patient.

Everything else be damned! Where do I
get by trying to follow them?

- Look, Kerry, wait.
- No!

- If anybody needs me, I'm outside.
- Cool.

Hey.

- Hey, Carter.
- Getting some air?

- Yeah. I need it after my last case.
- Yeah. Me too.

I was just talking to Lydia Wright.

And she mentioned to me...

...that some Percocet's been
missing from the drug lock-up.

- That's low, Carter.
- Hey, I'm not accusing anybody.

You're my friend.
I want you to know.

Well, Max is clean.

- Well, maybe he is. But-
- But what?

That's what Chase used to say to me.

I gotta get back.

Vitals are stable. The boy's alert.

You got your next journal article.

Right after they draw and quarter me
in front of the committee. Thank you.

We don't always get results
this good up here.

I'm going to go check
on the Yezerski kid.

What will happen? Back to his mother?

Who knows? I gave her a list
of names of doctors...

...who do ultrarapid detox on adults.

But it doesn't change
the psychological addiction.

At least she's trying.

Come on, buddy.

- I was just coming to look for you.
- You knocking off already?

Going to St. Mark's to see how
their unit's doing. When you off?

- Seven.
- Want to get dinner at Johnny D's?

Yeah, sure.

Feeling good about getting through
those charts?

Yeah, it'll be a week or two
before I can get a report out.

If you can stand to have me
around that long.

What's your recommendation?

What happens when I recommend
in favor of an ER Pedes Department is...

...they ask me to run it.

I've always said no. But this time
I could be convinced to say yes.

- You mean stay in Chicago?
- Only if you want me to.

Wow. I hadn't really
thought that far ahead.

Heard some Percocet was missing.

Yeah. I heard that too.

I didn't take it.

I didn't suspect that you did.

You'd be crazy not to.

I didn't want to suspect
that you did, anyway.

Don't feel bad about it.

I know I've used up all
my free passes with you.

But I'm telling you the truth.

And I'm willing to prove it.

Every day.

It's not that I don't believe you.

- It's just-
- Anna?

- Labs are back on that Ml.
- Thanks. I'll be right there.

All right, go. Be a doctor.
I'll call you later.

Sure.

Where's Mr. and Mrs. Lang?

Mark signed a transfer
to White Memorial.

- Why White Memorial?
- Maybe his doctor's there.

- Will they do the ventriculostomy?
- She didn't say.

Did you tell her
there wasn't much they could do?

Just would've liked to know
what she chose.

- Why?
- Why?

I don't know.
Just seems unsettled. Unfinished.

We never know about people
when they leave.

You haven't seen Anna around,
have you?

No.

- There it goes again.
- What?

That car alarm. It keeps starting up
and shutting off, and starting up.

- Annoying.
- It's in the ambulance bay.

I called Security.
But who knows where they ever are?

Mark, Kerry, this is the action
report on Josh McNeal.

Like maybe why you lied to me?

- You didn't understand.
- You didn't give me a chance.

Take it outside. We got work to do.

If you're no longer Acting Chief,
who do I give these budget reviews to?

I'll take them.

This kid was more important.

You always have a patient excuse.

I'm willing to go out on a limb.

You took the whole tree with you.
I was trying to support you.

To be the Pedes Attending?
You weren't going to support me.

We'll never know now, because
you did what you always do.

When you're about to get what
you want, you sabotage it.

- Is that what you're so angry about?
- I'm not angry. I'm disappointed.

You like that. It validates that
you're the adult and I'm the screw-up.

You never wanted to grow up.

You like it this way.
We hang out, but you're the boss.

For good reason,
based on your actions.

Based on your inability
to see me as an equal, Mark.

- Bad enough Kerry stepped up.
- I support her.

On the surface.
Underneath, you resented her.

Like you resent what I did with Josh.

Where's Mark? He needs to sign this.

He and Dr. Ross are outside "sharing. "

Mr. Nable? What are you doing here?

Mr. Nable, are you hurt?
Are you okay?

Come on. Come with me. Come on.

I'm so sorry.

Where's all this blood from,
Mr. Nable?

Come this way.
I'm gonna check you over.

You just sit down right here.

That's my car. The alarm's always
doing that. I don't know why.

You drove here? We'll get someone
to turn that alarm off for you.

Do you have a remote button?

Oh, God.

- There weren't enough bullets.
- All right.

Jeanie, stay with Mr. Nable.
Just be careful.

- Stick this somewhere.
- Cripes.

And call Security to help Jeanie.

Doug, Mark, come on! The car!

Come on!

- What is it?
- Locked.

- Who's in here?
- Can you see anyone?

- I can't see.
- Something's in the back seat.

- It's two kids!
- I'll break a window!

Woman in the front,
two kids in the back!

Hit the latch!
The door won't open!

Got it! Jerry!

Get us three gurneys, backboards,
and head collars! Get some help too!

I got a 40-year-old woman.
Gunshot wound to the left neck.

Weak carotid pulse!
She's barely breathing!

13-year-old.
Looks like a GSW to the abdomen.

- What's going on?
- Ambulance bay.

- Get those out there.
- I got the flashlight.

- Everyone use blood precaution!
- What is it?

Get outside and help.
Lydia, call for O-neg.

- How much?
-15 units.

- Close us to Trauma, page Surgery.
- Kerry.

- Wait.
- No. This is the guy.

- What guy?
- What happened outside. Mr. Nable...

Okay. Call Security now.

Move him to Curtain 3.
Post someone at the door. Yosh?

Help Jeanie with this man.

- Jerry, push the gurney closer!
- C-collar's secure!

- Anything else I can do?
- Yes! Help lift her!

Watch her head!

- Gently! Gently!
- All right, we got her!

- Get her legs. I'll support her neck.
- I'm underneath her.

- Supports are in!
- Mommy! Where's my mommy?!

- It's okay, honey!
- Slide her out really slow!

Get this side!

- Got it!
- Weak carotid pulse.

Flat neck veins. Decent respiratory
effort. Trachea midline.

- I got the backboard!
- We'll roll him. Roll him.

- Nice and easy.
- Slide it.

Let's move him back.

I don't think she's too stable.

- Does it hurt anywhere else?
- Take my hand, sweetheart.

- Are my mom and my brother okay?
- They're taking care of them.

I thought we'd drive here and
everything would be okay.

- I know.
- Why did my daddy have a gun?

My mom said we'd go with him

It's okay.

I thought we'd just talk to somebody.
