- With the suggestion
from Dr. Cooper

I could've sabotaged
Archer's CVP monitor

so that the Vas-COM
could save the day.

And I came close to doing it.

- If this ever gets
to be too much for you,

I'll put a stop
to the whole thing.

- I'll take it from here.

- I assumed I'd perform
the surgery.

- You're free to watch.

- Best by the powers that be.
- I'm sorry.

I made a fool of myself
with Dr. Marcel.

I'm crushing on my advisor.

- How long
you been doing this?

- 35 years.
- How?

- You got to hang on
to those good days.

You got to hang on
to those wins.

- Really, Dad?
- What? It's fine.

- It's a red zone.
It's for emergencies only.

No--
- See?

Now, it's an emergency.

Oh, you know what?
I wanna check this out.

New PDT system.

I can check all
of my units in real time.

- But, look,
can I check it out later?

I really do have to go.
I'm late.

- Everything okay here?
- Oh, yeah, we all good.

Just a little ride-along.

Letting a civilian see
what a real job looks like.

- Yeah, thanks.
- Yeah.

Am I embarrassing you?

- I'll see you later.

Come on, Dad.
- [laughs]

[siren beeps]
Okay, I'm gone.

- Do you remember
how when we were

in physical exam class,
when we did breast exams,

they would tell us
to make small talk

with the patient actors?

- Yeah, to help
put them at ease.

- Yeah and there was
that one guy, Mandelbrot.

Super awkward.
Caught hell for asking

one of them what
she was doing that weekend.

- Oh.
- He is a panelist

at the next summit
for female physicians.

[laughs]
- Wait, that wasn't Mandelbrot.

It was Richardson.

- No, pretty sure
it was Mandelbrot.

- No, it was Richardson.
- You haven't changed a bit.

Always got to one-up me.
- I'm not trying to one-up you.

- Two shots for Dr. Hammer.
Three for Dr. Halstead.

- [laughs] Thank you.

Have a good day.
- You too. Thanks, Carly.

- Morning.
- Good morning.

Dr. Halstead, how are things
with Dr. Cooper?

- Uh, pretty well, I think.
- Oh, yeah?

- I mean, he hasn't said
anything otherwise.

- Good morning,
Ms. Goodwin, Will.

- Matt.

- Just the man
I was looking for.

I want to tell you about
the conference

coming up in a few weeks.

- National Critical Care
Society annual meeting.

- It's here in Chicago.
You should go.

Vasik's gonna be
a platinum sponsor.

They're gonna have
a corner booth.

It's gonna be
the perfect chance

for you to meet
some of the upper-level execs.

Oh, do you think that you could
spare him for the day?

- It's always good
when our doctors

broaden their expertise.

- I'll be there.
- Okay, great.

I'll get you the details.
Um, Ms. Goodwin.

- This might be good.

And maybe I can get them to
offer me a deal like Cooper's.

- Geez, I got to get this, but,
uh, you're on the right track.

- Thank you, La'Shawn.
Morning, Alim.

Hey.
- Hey.

- What time did you get in?

- Uh, I don't know.
Like, around four.

- Why so early?

- Always try to get
a leg up on the day.

- Two hours before your shift?

- Well, if I'm meeting
with my patients earlier,

then I can read up
on their conditions.

That way, I'm running rounds,
I'll have all the answers.

Plus, if I'm here
a little early,

I can study for my boards.

- Sleep ever a factor
in this equation?

- Life of an intern.
What can I tell ya?

- Dr. Marcel.
- Yeah.

- Treatment three incoming.

- Avery Quinn,
28-year-old female.

Pedestrian versus auto.
BP 80/45.

Heart rate 114, satting at 88.

- Okay, Avery, I'm Dr. Marcel.

We're gonna take
good care of you, okay?

- It hurts so much.

- Trigger the MTP,
give her 50 of fentanyl.

Here we go, guys.
Transfer on my count.

One, two, three.

- There it is.
All right, let's roll her.

You're okay, we got you.
The board...

- All right, we're good.

Avery, can you put
your arms by your side for me?

You're gonna feel
a little bit of pressure, okay?

- [groans]
- O2 sats down to 82.

- Avery, Avery.
Avery...she's out.

We need to intubate.
20 of etomidate, 100 of sux.

Get a CBC, CMP,
type and cross four units.

Let's get a fastscan
and have them prep OR 12.

- No, she's going to OR seven.
- Excuse me?

- Yeah, I'll take it from here.

And let's add
a coag panel and LFTs.

- Dr. Blake,
I think you're mistaken.

This is a trauma,
not a transplant surgery.

- Yeah, I can see that.

She's got free fluid,
and she's in shock.

Her liver's ruptured
but repairable.

We got to get her up now.
- I'm in. Bag her.

All do respect, Dr. Blake,
you're a transplant surgeon.

I got this.
- Thank you, Dr. Marcel,

but I'll be
taking over the case now.

- I'm sorry,
I can't let you do that.

This is my patient.

- And I understand that,

All indications are that
the procedure was a success.

And Alex is doing great.

- Oh, my God, really?
Thank you so much.

Listen, Dr. Scott and I
talked to Alex

before the procedure today.

And I understand that you have
a lot on your plate right now,

but I--I also think
it's important that I share

this conversation with you.

both: Okay.

- So--so what
he told us is that

he provoked Ryan
into this outburst today.

He feels terrible.

I think he is looking
for some attention.

But where Ryan's concerned--
what this means to me

is that it wasn't
an impulsive outburst.

It wasn't--it wasn't random.

And that and a couple other
things I've observed today

are leading me to believe
it's very possible

that--that your son has
been misdiagnosed with ADHD

and that we were
probably looking

at some kind
of anxiety disorder instead.

- Wait, what are you
talking about?

Look at him.
He can't sit still.

- But Mr. Miller,
it's--it's the counting, right?

The tapping.

I think that
he's self-soothing

to help him cope
with these feelings of anxiety.

And when that stops working,

I think he feels
backed into a corner,

and then you have
a fight-or-flight situation.

- Well, what
about the Adderall?

His doctor said
that would help.

- If he actually had ADHD,
it would be working.

But it's not, right?
I think that in Ryan's case,

it's actually working
against him

and serving to only intensify
these feelings of anxiety

to the point
where they're often,

frankly, unbearable.

- Dr. Charles,
man, look I--I--

we appreciate everything
you're doing.

Really, but please,
our son's in surgery.

- I am sorry.
This is just not an ideal time

to have this conversation.
But I just wouldn't

be doing my job
if I didn't tell you

how important I think
it would be to reassess Ryan

and make sure that you are
looking at the right diagnosis

for him, for his brother,
for all of you,

for your whole family.
- No, Dr. Charles, it's just--

it's just been a long day.

- Listen, I am going
to check back with you

when Alex wakes up, okay?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.

- I should've consulted you
before pulling the Vas-COM.

It wasn't my place.
I'm sorry.

And besides, you were right.

She's getting worse and
still having embolic events.

So it wasn't
the Vas-COM after all.

- Clearly,
but I've gone through

every clotting disorder,
and none of it fits.

- Is it possible
we're looking at this wrong?

That she doesn't even have
a clotting disorder?

- Of course.
It's just so little to go on.

I mean, history of asthma,
eosinophils,

and left-sided
lung infiltrates.

- Left?

I thought
they were on the right.

- Seriously, Will?
- No, no, wait.

The X-ray from this morning
had them on the left.

But look...

The one from this afternoon
shows they moved to the right.

- Migratory infiltrates.

Could this be vasculitis?
Churg-Strauss?

- I mean maybe.
She could've moved

from the asthmatic stage
into the vascular stage today.

- It's a long shot,
but it's possible.

- If we're right,
her organs could start

to shut down at any moment.

- I'll start her on prednisone
and azathioprine

and set her up
for a diagnostic lung biopsy.

- Dr. Hammer, Dr. Halstead,
you need to come.

Eleanor's getting worse.

- I don't like
these QRS complexes.

- Eleanor, do you feel any pain
in your chest or arm?

- It feels tight.
- Oh, God, Ellie.

- Why don't you come here?

[beeping]

- She's going into v-tach.
- I'll get the paddles.

- No, no, Ellie.
- Wait.

If this is Churg-Strauss,
this could be a tamponade.

We need to aspirate the fluid.

- I know, but if we're wrong,

we won't have time
to cardiovert.

- I think we're right
about this.

- I do, too.

18 gauge on a syringe.
- 18 gauge.

[beeping]

- Ron, there's fluid
around Eleanor's heart.

They need to drain it.

[beeping]

- Nothing.

Got it.

- Sinus rhythm.

- Eleanor, can you hear me?

- Uh-huh.
- Oh, thank God.

- Call IR.
Tell them we're coming up

for a drain and a lung biopsy.
- You got it.

- Good job.

- Hey. How you feeling?

- Okay.
- Good.

Surgery went well.

In fact, the neurosurgeon said

that you had
the best-looking brain

he's seen in quite a while.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Told your parents,
but they weren't surprised.

Said they always knew
you had a great brain.

- They said that?

- Yeah, they did.

You know, Alex,
kids with great brains--

they don't always get
the most attention,

but... people notice.

- What's going on?

- O2 sats are 91.
BP's down to 83/50.

- Drains are full.

- [groans]
- Belly's firm.

Okay, etomidate and sux,
then transduce

to a bladder pressure.
Let's go.

Hey, Avery, look at me.

You're re-bleeding
into your abdomen.

I need to intubate and take you
back to the OR, okay?

- [groans]

- What happened?

- Abdominal compartment
syndrome.

We're going back to the OR.
- No, no need.

You can use a cordis catheter
and decompress here.

- There's too much blood.
We don't have enough time.

I'm in. Bag her.

- And if you open her up,
there'll be too much swelling,

and you'll never
be able to close.

- Get the cordis.

- Dr. Marcel,
bladder pressure's 35.

[beeping]
- It's too high.

We need to open her up
to release the pressure.

Get me a 10 blade.

- Dr. Marcel,
I already told you--

- Back off, Dr. Blake.
Here we go. Ready?

Uh, but she

absolutely did the right thing.

The last thing we need
is for the Vas-COM

to be used inappropriately
