Your New Chief
is fashionably late.

Our Chief.

Just because I endorsed
Dr. Han to the Board

doesn't mean I don't
have any concerns.

Connections like Dr. Han's
come at a premium

and, he assures me,
will be well worth it

given our current predicament
with the Medical Board.

I'm not just worried
about the money.

When you pay that much,

they tend to think
they're worth it.

It's in the patient's heart,

I feel the same way about

What about her bowels?

Why isn't Dr. Lim inserting it
into the abdomen right now?

There is
not enough room.

There's... There's
not enough room

without increasing
abdominal pressure,

which would
critically decrease
blood flow to the bowel.

DR. HAN:
According to what
hemodynamic principle...

Dr. Browne?

Vascular impedance.
Blood flow is driven

by the force induced
by the pressure gradient.

And how
do you calculate it?

**

Uh. Um...

I... I'd have
to look it up.

Eight times L.Nu.
divided by Pi.R.4.

Very good, Dr. Murphy.

DR. HAN: That's also why
this occluder won't work.

It won't hold up against
the huge pressure gradient

in her heart.
Is there a fix?

DR. HAN: Long-term,

(STAMMERS) Why does...

Why does she have
all these birth defects?

Diane.

We spoke
to our obstetrician.

She said these defects can
happen for no reason, right?

That's true.

Over 50% have
no known cause.

I was taking paroxetine
for clinical depression.

And you went off the meds

as soon as you found out
you were pregnant.

She was five,
six weeks at most.

My OB told me
studies show

antidepressants are safe
to take during pregnancy.

But is that true,

or is she
protecting me?

There was a study that
associated paroxetine

with these kinds
of defects.

It is
a possibility.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

**

You can't tell whether
it's cancerous or benign?

Not until
we do the biopsy,

which I've scheduled
for later.

We'll know what's going on
by the morning.

**

Good.

That's good.

**

Maybe you'd like
to call someone?

A family member,
a friend?

I'll worry when
I know it's cancer.

**

We could use
a transcatheter route

and patch each hole
individually.

Her heart's
the size of a walnut.

It's too small
to maneuver inside.

A single large patch
to close the holes

would withstand
the pressure.

Yes.

It would also block
electrical conduction,

causing
deadly arrhythmias.

Dr. Murphy,

did you tell the mom
that she caused
her baby's birth defect?

No. I said that
her antidepressants
could have.

Why did you
tell her that?

It's the truth.

And is that relevant
to her current
medical situation?

No.

And how did you think
that answer would
make her feel?

What did you think
would happen?

**

The mother
is devastated.

The father
is furious.

I would be, too.

DR. LIM:
Shaun is a resident.

Residents
make mistakes.

Managing these parents'
emotional concerns

is as much a part
of this job as operating
on their daughter.

(SIGHS) Social cues
are hard for Shaun,

but we've been
working with him...

You should be focused
on your own shortcomings,

like retaining the formula
for vascular impedance.

SHAUN: Dr. Han.

**

We could patch each
individual hole in the heart

if we cut open
the ventricle...

Don't change the subject,
Dr. Murphy.

I didn't, Dr. Han.

We were talking
about the baby.

Really?

You don't see a difference
in the nature
of your discussion

before I arrived
and after?

We were talking
about the baby.

**

They tried the approach you
suggested at L.A. Children's.

The baby died
a week later.

The suture line didn't hold,
and the cardiac wall ruptured.

Keep looking.

Dr. Murphy,

do not talk with
those parents again.

I'll walk with you.

DR. LIM: You're pretty tough
on my residents.

Rebuking them
in public,

pimping them
with questions
during surgery.

Shame-based learning
isn't my style.

I'll bear that in mind.

But this isn't about
my treatment
of "the residents."

You're concerned
about Dr. Murphy.

Well, a lot of doctors
have less than ideal
bedside manner.

He's young...
Would you ever have said

something like that
to a patient as a resident?

As a med student?

And Murphy doesn't
even understand

he did anything wrong.

Shaun has hard-wired
differences

in the way
he perceives things.
Exactly.

No matter
how hard he works,

no matter how hard
you try and help him,

his limitations
are not going to change.

He's going to continue to
inflict them on our patients,

all in the name of diversity
and inclusion.

Shaun deserves
to be here.

Once you see what he's
capable of, you'll agree.

I look forward
to being proven wrong.

(BEEPING STOPS)
Nice save.

Next time,

There is
no next time.

The biopsy's
too dangerous.

(SIGHS)

DR. MELENDEZ: It is likely
that it's a benign
notochord cell tumor.

They look
like chordomas,

but they're harmless
and way more common.

But you don't know.

Since we can't
do the biopsy, no.

This is the problem
with broad testing.

Everyone has
abnormalities.

Most of them
are nothing.

But when we do
find them,

we have to make
some tough choices.

So, what exactly
is my tough choice?

We could
remove the tumor.

This is
a very risky surgery.

There's a chance
of paralysis or worse,

you may not
make it off the table.

Or you do nothing.

We'd continue
to monitor it,

do imaging
every few weeks.

But chordomas
move very quickly.

By the time any change
showed up on imaging,

it's most likely metastasized
throughout your body.

So it probably
isn't cancer,

but if it is and I wait,
then I'll die.

That's true.

And if I don't wait
and I get the surgery,

then there's a good chance
I'll die.

Yes.

I'm gonna need
to think this over.

What have you got?
Anything?

This Cleveland group

repaired a bowel protrusion
using enterolysis.

I could cut out this excess
inflammatory tissue

and segment
of bowel atresia.

Might make her intestines
small enough to fit.

Promising.

Given the size
of her abdomen,

I need to remove
a lot of bowel.

There's a good chance
she wouldn't be able
to absorb food.

We'll have to find
the right balance.

It's our only
workable plan.

Best bet on the heart is
to cut through the ventricle,

like Murphy suggested.

Uh, you were concerned about
the suture line holding.

Well, I still am.

Hopefully, horizontal
mattress sutures will work.

They should be able
to withstand the tension

at the suture line.

(FADING) There's still
a risk of an aneurysm forming

in the tissue
underneath.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Dr. Lim?

I have an idea
I'd like to share,

even though Dr. Han
didn't ask me a question.

Yeah, go ahead, Shaun.

If we go in
through the atrium,

we wouldn't have to worry
about the suture line...

It's the same issue
we discussed.

There's not enough room
inside the baby's heart

to stitch the patches
in the place.

Oh, we don't
need to, Dr. Han.

We can make a plug
small enough for her heart,

a PTFE disc with a stem
like a mushroom.

Then we can insert the stem
through one of the holes

until the disc presses
against the wall,

covering all the holes.

L-Like a stopper
in a bathtub.

Yes.

The higher pressure on
the left side of her heart

would keep it
in place.

We wouldn't even
need to stitch.

Great idea.

We should take this
to the parents.

Great idea
for the heart.

But we need to tell them
that our current plan

for the abdominal repair

is considerably
more of a long shot.

And that fixing the heart
takes an option off the table.

Withdrawing care.

LARRY: You can't
move that card.

Excuse me?

Who cheats
at solitaire?

You're literally
only cheating yourself.

Again.

Good morning, Larry.

Is it a macho thing?

Like a real man should
be able to make it through

without leaning on a label
or the people who go with it?

Embracing cancer
as an identity

is the last thing
any one of us should be doing.

It underscores everything
horrible right now.

We're in a daily battle
for our lives.

I see no value
in dwelling on that.

Candice is late.

Which means either her niece
forgot to pick her up.

Again.

Or she got
some bad news.

Or she's
already dead.

(OBJECT THUDS, BAG ZIPS)
We are in
a daily battle.

I'd rather have
some company.

**

**

I spoke to my mother
and brother,

and they both think
I shouldn't do the surgery.

Apparently,
they're more scared
of your surgical skills

than they are
of this tumor.

And where
do you stand?

I need numbers.

Please.

**

The stats on something
like this, it...

There are a lot
of variables.

What are the odds
I make it through the surgery

without any complications?

It's a challenging
procedure.

Zero complications,
I'd say 80%.

But it is very unlikely
this tumor is malignant.

Give me a number.

About 5% chance
it's a chordoma.

The numbers agree
with your family.

So do I.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

I've always been
more comfortable with action

than inaction.

I want you
to do the surgery.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Certainty comes
at a price.

**

DIANE: She'll be
able to get off
the life support machines?

DR. HAN: If everything
goes well, yes.

She'll have
a strong heart.

How soon
can you do it?

You should know
we feel less confident

about our plan
for her bowel.

The chance of failure
is quite high.

How high?

DR. LIM: I put it at 90%
that the repair won't work.

Which would lead
to irreversible malnutrition.

Your daughter would slowly
starve to death over months.

Right now,
her body is
working very hard

just to stay alive.

**

If we were to turn off
the machines...

Turn off
the machines?

**

...she would pass quickly.
And peacefully.

If the heart surgery
is a success,

that won't be
an option.

Oh. (BREATHES DEEPLY)

Why not try to fix
the bowel first

to see if it works?

We won't know
if the bowel is viable

until after
the heart is.

We have to do
the surgery.

But if this doesn't work,
she could starve to death.

It's worth the risk...
It's not our risk.
It's hers.

So, instead, you're ready
to give up on our daughter?

I mean, it's like
we're right back
at the ultrasound.

We decided together
to continue this pregnancy.

So this is as much
my fault as it is yours.

My fault?

Because of
the medication?

I cannot turn off
that machine.

Your guilt is
stopping you from admitting
what we need to do.

My guilt has nothing
to do with this.

I am fighting
for my daughter.
So am I.

Since the parents can't agree,
the decision

about the baby's care
will be made by a judge

who will rely
on our recommendation.

So we make the choice,

but the parents
live with it?

Well, maybe that's
a good thing.

For parents to have
to decide between

letting their daughter die

or fighting for her life,
knowing she may
suffer horribly,

maybe it's better
if we carry that burden.

Dr. Lim?

Your decision would be?

Take her
off life support.

The odds are stacked against
the bowel repair working.

Those numbers reflect the
general population of doctors.

I think Dr. Lim and I
are better than that.

We can
beat the odds.

One of the things
I'm not going to miss

about being
Chief of Surgery

is being responsible
for choices like this.

Dr. Han,
it's your department,

it's your call.

Mmm.

But maybe Dr. Han
wouldn't notice me as much

if I weren't

just... (CHUCKLES) obsessed

It's all

He wants to be friends
with everybody in the ward.

That's very smart
of him.

Speigel et al. showed

in overall survival

and quality of life measures
in breast cancer patients

who formed social bonds with
others battling the disease.

What should I do
about Dr. Han?

(EXHALES DEEPLY)
I don't know. Um...

Just do your work,

be a good surgeon,
be an excellent surgeon.

Over time, he'll forget

* But the days, girl

Now that Persephone's heart
is pumping at full power,

her lungs
are overwhelmed.

The humane thing
to do

is to turn off the machines
and let her go.

No, I... I can't...

I can't give up on her.
(BREATHES SHARPLY)

**

Because
you fought for her

every minute since
she was born.

Before that, when you were
taking your medication

for the depression,

you were fighting
to keep going

so you could bring her
into the world.

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

**

**

But letting go of Percy
is not giving up on her.

**

It's listening to what
her body is telling us.

**

She's hit her limit.

**

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

**

**

Okay.

(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)

DR. HAN: I want Persephone
to look as good as possible

for the parents.

(SIGHS)

Let's turn off
cardiac support.

(CLICKS, BEEPING)

Ventilator.

**

Let's take
a minute.

SHAUN: Check valve.

Every time
the heart contracted,

blood went into the opposite
side of the heart

and raised
lung pressure.

The hole reduced the pressure
when it got too high

because it allowed
backflow.

But our repair of the defect
blocked this backwards flow.

What if we made it so
she still had a heart defect,

but only
when she needed it?

It'd be like an unlatched door
in the wall of the heart.

When the pressure
gets too high
on the right side,

the door swings open,
releasingthe pressure
on the lungs.

The rest of the time,
it stays shut.

It should reduce lung pressure
by a third. Is that enough?

It depends on how high

her pulmonary vascular
resistance is.

PVR is
pulmonary artery pressure

minus wedge pressure divided
by cardiac output times 80.

CANDICE: The last time
I saw my doctor,

he told me I had
six months to live.

He also told me I should
marry an accountant

and move
to North Dakota.

LARRY:
You don't say.

When I asked if it would
help my cancer, he said no,

just make the six months
seem much longer.

(BOTH LAUGH)

What's the difference between
a Neo-Nazi and cancer?

Cancer doesn't
discriminate.

(CANDICE LAUGHS)

(LARRY LAUGHS)

I knew a guy once,

his Zodiac sign
was Cancer.

It was really ironic
how he died.

Uh, uh, how's that?

He was eaten
by a giant crab.

(LAUGHTER)
Oh, geez.

(LAUGHS)

Aaron, glioma.

Candice, leukemia.

Gin rummy
or blackjack?

How fast do you want
to take my money?

Blackjack.

Cut 'em.

Did you
get it all?

Yes,

totally clear
margins.

But the only way
to achieve that

involved removing the nerve
that controls your left foot.

Rehab and an advanced
orthotic may help,

but you will
walk with a limp.

Final pathology
will let us know
if it was worth it.

I'll let you know
when it comes in.

It doesn't matter
anymore.

It's not like you can
put the tumor back in.

(BABY CRYING)

Is she...okay?

She still has
a surgery or two
in her future, but, yes.

She's gonna be great.

(BREATHES SHARPLY)
(SNIFFLES)

Can I hold her?

I think that would be
very nice.

For both of you.

**

(BABY CRYING)

**

(CRYING) Hi, angel.

**

(BABY COOS)

Oh, my baby.
(SMOOCHES)

**

Come hold her.

**

You were fighting
for her, too.

**

(SNIFFLES)

(BOTH CHUCKLE)
She's beautiful.

**

Nice work.

Thank you.

(BABY CRYING)
She's beautiful.

Listen to her. Oh.

(CRYING)

**

Thank you.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Minesh's
biopsy results?

(SIGHS)

You don't want to know
if we wasted our time

almost killing him?

Can't put
the tumor back.

Hello, Dr. Han.

You take
the bus, too?

No, Shaun.

I just wanted
to talk to you.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

You really do have
remarkable diagnostic skills.

I have to admit,

you're an asset
to this hospital.

Yes, I am.

I spoke to the Residency
Director of Pathology.

And we both agree
you'll be a great fit there.

I'm a surgical resident.

As a pathology resident,

you'll touch cases
and lives

across all
the medical departments.

It's an opportunity
for you to help patients

without having to
deal with patients.

Given your difficulties with
communication and social cues,

I think it will be
a much better fit.

No, thank you.

I have been working
very hard

at my communication
skills.

Hard work
isn't enough.

You have to do the job.

I am
a surgical resident.

You were.

And you're gonna do
great work in pathology.
