- The man is in his element.
- What's he doing?

Age-old ritual,
meant to capitalize

off the unknown origins

of Westbridge's current state
of affairs.

Whoever guesses the reason they
went code black wins the pot.

Ah, interesting.
We didn't do this at the VA.

- You game?
- Of course.

Now, how's this look to you?

My wager is on flooding.

They're going to be down
for 3 hours,

and we're going to get 20
of their patients.

Put me down for flooding,
4 hours and 30 patients.

Okay, okay, okay.

Hey, Dr. Robby, looks like
you got some competition.

Yes, it would appear
that I do.

All right, guys and gals,
enough fun.

We have people to take care of.

You want to bring Langdon
back from triage

for the extra hands?

No, I do not.
I don't think that's necessary.

We're doing just fine
without him.

You're the boss, boss.

Daniel Ortiz,
tu licencia en el mostrador.

Next.

Hi.
Uh, the doctor guy told me

to put this mineral oil
on my eye for 20 minutes.

That was 2 hours ago.

We're really busy,
but we'll get to you.

- Oh, my God. Okay, when?
- I will check.

Listen for your name
to be called.

- Thanks.
- Next.

Excuse me.

Uh, hi. I heard my brother
was brought here.

- His name is Jackson Davis.
- Do you have ID?

Yes, yes, um,

I am his sister Jada Davis.

I'm sorry. I just, uh--

my friend told me that he was
brought in by campus police.

There was some sort of fight
that broke out at his school.

- Is he okay? Is he here?
- Don't know, hon.

Can you just tell me
if he's a patient here?

I'll check. Take a seat.
And I'll let you know.

- Okay.
- Next.

Is Harlow feeling lightheaded
or faint now?

It's not as bad
as it was before,

but my head still hurts.

And now my stomach does, too.

Well, did she eat
before she took her ibuprofen?

Ugh, it's not my...

Breakfast is my least
favorite meal of the day.

It's okay to look at me.

I don't bite.

I'm sorry.

Um, we're going to get started
with some blood tests.

Is that baby from
the bathroom going to be okay?

She'll be fine.

Uh, good news--

nose swab came back negative
for COVID,

influenza, and RSV,

but a lot of other viruses
can cause a cough.

Lucky me.

You can take off your mask.

Pulse ox is at 91.

Your oxygen level is down

since we checked you
an hour ago,

and your temp is up to 102.4.

Let's get you some Tylenol.

Have you been outside today?
It's already stifling.

Could be heat-related,
but we're going to take you

back to the big ER
for a full evaluation.

Can't you just

write me a prescription
for some medicine?

I'm sure it's just
a summer cold.

- Got somewhere to be?
- Work.

I know. It's Saturday.

But I don't think I've had
a day off since...

Well, your holiday weekend
starts now.

Hey, Javadi.

What are you doing
for your birthday?

- Who told you?
- Word gets around.

Nothing.
I hate celebrating my birthday.

You only turn 21 once.

It's your birthday?

Oh, that makes you
a Cancer, right?

I didn't peg you
for an astrology girlie.

Yeah. Been spending
too much time around Santos.

Yes, you have.

I don't know
how you guys do it.

Live together
and work together?

It's my cross to bear.

It can't be as bad as having
to live with your parents.

I don't know. I haven't lived
at home in years.

- I kind of miss it.
- I can tell.

You've been spending a lot
of time on that farm.

"Farm"?

Remember the burned farmer
who came in last year?

Propane tank exploded,
he died in the ICU?

Yeah, that was sad.

Well, this guy
has been playing house

with his widow and their baby.

Oh, that's messy.

No.

It's not like that, okay?

I've been helping Amy out
on the farm

after her husband died,
and she is a friend.

She's just a friend.

Sure, just a friend,
with farm benefits.

What are farm benefits?

Oh, use your imagination.

You ever see a milking machine?

Oh, can we not talk
about this, please?

We're getting
two runs rerouted

from Westbridge already--
chest pain and belly pain.

- Robby wants you three out back.
- Thank you.

Come on.

Dr. Santos, making progress
on your charting, I hope?

Getting there.

Deficient charts leave a gap
for the providers

who give continuity of care
and delays hospital billing.

Oh, I'd hate
to delay billing.

Timely documentation
is essential.

Let's fix this
before end of shift.

- I'm on it, boss.
- Good.

You wouldn't want to repeat
your R2 year again

because of this.

Fuck.

God, it's humid as shit
out here.

It is.

What's going on
at Westbridge?

They're closed, so we're
covering their paramedic runs

until they come back up.

As if a holiday weekend
wasn't enough.

So, Dr. Al-Hashimi...

Yes?

Do we like her?

She seems pretty cool so far.

You're trying to gossip about
an attending with an attending?

Dr. Robby doesn't mind.
Do you?

Oh, uh, that's a nice bike,
by the way.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Pamela Perry, 48,
abdominal pain

with vomiting after eating
chilaquiles with fried eggs.

BP 108 over 64,
pulse 98, good sats.

Okay, let's see how she feels
with some Zofran

- and a liter wide open.
- Got it.

- Yo, Whitaker.
- How are you feeling? OK?

Not so good.

- Who do we have here?
- Jean Samba--

54, half an hour
of left-sided chest pain.

History of hypertension,
on lisinopril and Crestor.

Some relief with two nitro.

Decent vitals,
no STEMI on 12-lead.

Gave him 324
of chewable aspirin.

Okay, we're going to give you
a full evaluation, sir.

Oh, if I am to die,
God willing,

I will see His pearly gates.

What's the plan?

Repeat 12-lead,
check a troponin,

admit for new onset angina.

Evaluate for PE,
aortic dissection.

- That goes without saying.
- Sounds good.

I'm a minute behind you.

And who do we have here?

Vince Cole, 23, fell through
the skylight of a florist shop,

10 feet down
to a bunch of ferns.

Complained of headache,
asking repetitive questions,

and only responds to pain.

Multiple lacs from the glass.

BP 118 over 72, pulse 98,
sats 99 on 5 liters.

No meds, no allergies.

Hey, Vince, how'd you fall
through a skylight?

Vince?

Were you with him?

Yeah, we were parkouring,
and he overshot a kong vault.

What, like,
jumping off of buildings?

People still do that?

It was almost
an Olympic sport.

Now we know why it isn't.

Pupils are equal and reactive.

- What do you got?
- A 10-foot fall, altered.

- That's a long way down.
- 10 feet is the threshold

for trauma center activation--
10 feet, 10% mortality.

0%, anything over 0%
is a concern.

Somebody's annoying,
and it's not me.

Hey, you said two.
You missed one.

Sent you backup, didn't I?

One, two, three.

Okay. Thanks, guys.
Good to see you.

Get the EFAST.

Ogilvie, Joy, GCS, please.

Uh, open your eyes, sir.

Two for eyes, two for verbal.

Uh, good lung sliding
bilaterally.

Joy, finish GCS.

Squeeze my hand.

He gets a 4 for motor.

Pulse ox 99, heart rate 102,
blood pressure 114 over 78.

- And EFAST is negative.
- Music to my ears.

Somebody shooting
a documentary here?

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
you can't film in here.

We've got patient-privacy laws.

- What happened to your hand?
- Cut it.

Can somebody show Spielberg
here out to the waiting room

and get her registered
at triage, please?

He's my creative partner--
I have his written consent

to film everything
for our TikTok page.

Put the camera down.

We have to drop this video
for the Fourth tonight.

That literally
means nothing to me.

Seriously, Sean,
can you escort her out, please?

Somebody will come and find you
once he's stabilized.

Thank you.

I would have let her stay
if she'd asked nicely.

What is the, uh,
story with surgery?

You guys getting
any Westbridge transfers yet?

Not yet, but I'm sure
it's coming.

Pan scan, head through pelvis.
Let's get him to CT ASAP.

Absent gag.

We need to intubate before CT.

C-can I do it?

Uh, I'm keeping
a procedure log,

and I need more intubations
on this rotation.

If Dr. McKay wants to teach?

Sure.

Okay, uh, I need suction.

8-oh tube, etomidate and sux,
end tidal CO2.

Ambitious.

He reminds me of someone
I know very well.

Can you not?

Yeah, sorry.

Hot off the press.

Okay.

No STEMI, doesn't need
to go right to the cath lab.

And orders are in.

Whitaker, try another nitro

and let me know
when the troponin's back.

- Yeah. Hey, hey, Jesse?
- Mm.

Do you think
you could repeat this

but with the chest leads
on his back?

Why?

T Waves are kind of high
with ST depression anterior.

We see ST depression
all the time.

Yeah, but it could be
a posterior MI.

All right,
run it by the attending.

If they agree, we'll do it.

Thank you.

Uh, Victoria, if his CT's
normal, he'll need an LP.

Got it.

Dr. Al-Hashimi.

This is Jada Davis,
Jackson's sister.

- Oh, thank you. Hi.
- Is he okay?

And why is he asleep?

Well, he was uncooperative
when he first arrived

- and needed to be sedated.
- "Uncooperative"?

That doesn't make any sense.
What happened?

We're still trying
to piece the story together.

He was brought in
by a campus security guard

who Tased him
after he was allegedly...

- "Tased him"?
- Combative and violent.

Wait, what do you mean,
Tased him?

We've treated his injury,
and now we're trying

to understand
why he was so agitated.

Okay, this doesn't
sound like my brother.

Well, his drug screen
came back negative,

so now we're taking Jackson
to get a CT scan of his brain

- to look for any abnormalities.
- Can I go with him?

You can't go into the CT,

but you can wait for him
to come back.

And then we can discuss
next steps.

Okay.

Just did
my first ER intubation.

- That's great, man.
- Such a prick.

- You got a second?
- What's up?

12-lead on my chest-pain
patient shows no STEMI,

but the anterior leads might be
suspicious for a posterior MI?

Uh...agreed.

Yeah, I was going to repeat,
but with the chest leads

- on the back.
- V7 through V9.

- Good idea.
- Thank you.

Hey, Dr. Robby gave the
go-ahead for the back leads.

Sorry, man,
I got a call report

on a septic patient
going to the ICU.

Busy today, huh?

Uh, well, it's 10:15.

We're actually just
getting started.

- Oh.
- There she is.

Dr. Mohan, uh, this is
Lorrie Diaz, Orlando's wife.

- Thank you, Perlah.
- Thank you.

- Hi, Mrs. Diaz.
- Hi.

Let me take you
to your husband.

Ay, mi amor.

I'm sorry you have
to be here alone.

I missed
my first bus transfer and--

Anyway...

Hey.

How'd I get here?

You fell
at your construction site.

A coworker brought you in.

He's a lot better
but doesn't remember anything.

That's common
after a concussion or DKA.

DKA?

It's a serious complication
of your husband's diabetes.

How serious?
Can he go home?

We still have to clear the
ketones from his bloodstream.

He'll need to be
on an insulin drip for a while

until things get
back to normal.

Best if he stays
in the hospital.

It's okay, Mom.

Things are headed in
the right direction, Mrs. Diaz.

- He's going to be better.
- Mm.

Sorry.
I got to check his blood sugar.

- Oh, do you mind?
- Absolutely.

So the thing is...

we don't have health insurance.

So...

I don't think
that we can afford this.

I'll have our case manager,
Noelle Hastings, come by.

She's an expert
in health insurance.

She might have some options
for you for coverage.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- Crap.
- What's wrong?

Uh, some of the leads
aren't sticking here.

Can I lay down now?
I'm tired.

Yeah, as soon
as we're done here.

Whitaker, Louie's all numb.
His tooth is ready for you.

That's great.

Hey, I'm having some trouble
here with adherence.

Oh.
Of course you are.

Uh, try this.

Oh, yeah.
That makes sense.

Uh, you think you could--

Do you mind if I paint
some sticky stuff on you?

Oh.

If you must prolong
the inevitable, so be it.

You'll get to lie down
afterwards.

No success
with the mineral oil.

That's what I said.

So now what?

You can wait one to two weeks

for the superglue
to break down on its own.

I'm hosting
a Fourth of July party tonight.

You want me to show up
like this?

The other option is I trim
your eyelashes halfway down.

That'll lower the strength of
the glue holding them together.

Let's do that.

Lie back, please.

I need you to hold your head
perfectly still,

keep your eye closed.

My eye can't open.
That's why I'm here.

No, I mean,
your other eye, too.

Okay, here we go.

Perfect, Mr. Samba.

All good here.

Feeling...dizzy.

We'll put you down
in a second.

Holy shit.

ST elevation, V7, V8, V9.

- It's a posterior STEMI.
- What's that?

It's the worst kind
of heart attack.

Mr. Samba.

Mr. Samba!

Hey, I could use
a second set of hands here!

Pulseless V tach.

Start compressions.

Charging to 200.

Clear.

Okay, resume compressions.

Code STEMI.
It was posterior.

Yeah, good call.

- You put the defib pads on?
- Yeah, just in case.

Hold compressions.

- Normal sinus.
- All right.

Got a strong pulse.
Check the BP.

All right,
we'll prep him for cath lab.

Hey, Mr. Samba,
you're going to be okay.

No pearly gates today.

- Really good pickup, Whitaker.
- Thank you.

Ah.

Has a patient ever
flirted with you?

Sure. Why?

There was this guy
this morning--

he turned out to be a criminal,

but, yeah, it was
a nice distraction

from the deposition.

You still worried about that?

Yep.
Yeah, counting down the hours.

There are five left,
if you're wondering.

Hi, Miss Ronson.

Phylicia, please.

Phylicia, I'm Dr. King.

This is my colleague
Dr. Santos.

What brings you in today?

I've had this pretty bad cough
for a few days now.

Do you smoke?

Are coughing up anything,
any chest pain?

No, no, and no.

I honestly think
I picked it up at work.

- It was going around.
- Oh, where do you work?

- I'm in corporate at PNC Bank.
- Sit forward, please.

It could be an office bug.

Or I got it from the gym.
I'm there all the time.

Do you have anything
to ask, Dr. Santos?

What?

Do you have any questions
to ask our patient?

Uh, no, I'm good.

Okay. What'd you hear?

Maybe some crackles
at the right base.

Okay, well, we're going
to need a chest X-ray

to check your lungs.

Will that take long?

Maybe I can still make it
to the office.

It shouldn't.

- You can go put the orders in.
- Yeah.

- How are we doing in here?
- Oh, this is thrilling.

Definitely worth $200,000
worth of student debt.

Ha.

Superficial ones
get a steri-strip.

Full thickness, try Dermabond.

How can you tell
they need a suture, Joy?

If the edges are
under significant tension.

I didn't realize
your name was Joy.

I'm going to have to tell my
parents how trendy they were.

CT head, neck, chest,
abdomen, and pelvis,

- all normal on preliminary read.
- Lucky guy.

Little bit of oozing.

Uh, pressure for two minutes.

Lidocaine and epi
if that doesn't work.

Are the admit orders in
for Surgical ICU?

Fuck!

What?

- This.
- Ah.

- Irrigation saline.
- It's just a small cut.

It is a work-related
blood exposure,

which means
you're a patient now.

- Are you serious?
- Needle stick?

Piece of glass.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

No past records on this guy.

We don't know HIV
or hepatitis status.

I'll put the orders in,
HIV antibody, Hep B surface,

and Hep C.

She needs
post-exposure medication.

Maybe not.

For occupational exposure,
the rapid HIV test

- takes an hour or two.
- Subcutaneous puncture wound.

No risk of joint
or tendon involvement.

Elevate, pressure,
and then a Band-Aid.

Give yourself a dose of PEP
if you want

while you're waiting
for results.

Start a chart,
and I'll find another nurse

for your blood draw.

Great.

Looks like we've got a couple
more diverted from Westbridge.

Any estimate
on their downtime?

Not yet.

Time to pull Dr. Langdon
from triage?

No, no.
First day back.

I want to let him
kind of ease into things.

Understood.
I'll keep an eye on it.

Thank you very much.

Thinking about changing
your bet?

I am just weighing my odds.

Don't worry. I'll buy you
a drink with my winnings.

Your brother
should be back shortly.

There was a little holdup
at CT.

Um, should I be worried?

Let's wait and see
what his test results say.

This is just, um...

this just doesn't make
any sense.

It doesn't sound
like my brother at all.

He's the--the friendliest guy
I know.

He never even gets angry,
barely yells.

He's never had an episode
like this in the past?

No, or not that I know of.

He's in a great relationship.

And he's in law school

'cause he wants
to help people.

He always tells me that
I should, um...

follow my dreams,

even if it means
my parents may disown me.

Should I call them?

I think that's a good idea.

This--this could be
pretty serious.

- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.

The new radiologist
is a hottie.

Okay.

Um...

his head CT is normal, as
are his blood and urine tests.

Then--then what's wrong
with him?

We're not, um, sure yet.

There is another test--
a-a spinal tap.

This could be, um, an infection

in the fluid that surrounds
the brain--viral encephalitis.

Um, it can also cause...

altered mental status
and confusion.

Can you treat it, if it is?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll go find Dr. Al-Hashimi,
and--and we'll do it together.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

Just what we thought--
it's a fracture of your coccyx.

It's your tailbone.

Yeah, see, these pieces here

should be lined up
with that part here.

- Do I need surgery?
- No.

No, no, these heal pretty well,
but it'll take about six weeks.

"Six weeks"?

I have dinner dates
every weekend.

You can keep your--
still keep your dinner plans.

Dinner starts at Pino's,
the best Italian in town.

Mm-hmm.

A nightcap at my place
usually follows,

and then breakfast in bed.

Ah, okay.

Well, in that case, you might--

you might need to take
a little break.

My greatest joy in life
is my social calendar.

- Mm.
- Hmm?

Is there something else
you can do?

W-well, there--
there is a procedure

to push the fragments
back in place.

- It could help it heal faster.
- Now we're talking.

Yeah, but it'll hurt pretty
bad but only for a second.

I can take it.

Okay.

Come here.
Back in the gown.

How's it going over here?

Better now.

Uh...

Oh, the X-ray is back
on your foot,

and no fracture.

So, um, ACE wrap,
ice, rest, and elevate,

and you can take ibuprofen
if you need it.

So that's it?

Well, if it's--if it's
too painful to bear weight,

we can give you crutches
to use for a day or two.

So I won't be seeing
you again.

Uh...

as a patient, no, but...

it was nice meeting you, Brian.

It was nice meeting you,
too, Dr. McKay.

You know, I was--
I was going to go check out

a few of the art galleries
in Lawrenceville tonight.

Have you been to that one
on 40th and Butler?

No, I was, um, gonna go by.

Maybe around 9:00?

Okay.

- Cool.
- Cool.

Dude, I resuscitated
that parkour guy

and--and intubated a STEMI.

I think I can handle this.

It's best if you watch
the first one.

How's that tooth feeling?

The whole side
of my face is numb.

That's how we like it.

Okay, we've got a...

a fluctuant gumline at--

Tooth number 23,
lateral incisor.

- With an extension to an--
- Apical abscess.

- Right again.
- Ah, the kid's smart.

Mm-hmm.
Hook up the Yankauer.

Get ready to retract the gum.

Hey, Louie,
this is a temporary fix, okay?

You're going to need to get
that tooth pulled by a dentist.

Hey, you going
to find me one?

We can have you talk
to Dylan.

Is Dr. Collins around?

Sister always helps me out.

Uh, Dr. Collins finished
her residency,

took up a job in Portland
as an attending physician.

"Portland"?

Yeah, I think
that's where she's from.

She's adopting a baby.

Wanted to be closer
to her family.

Well, that's
a beautiful thing.

- We're set.
- Okay. Ready?

Okay, 3-cc syringe,

20-gauge needle
entering at the juiciest part,

aiming for the apex.

- Send that for culture?
- No.

Pen V.K. for a few days.

Bugs in the mouth
are old school.

Ah, just like me.

Both parents work,

but neither of them
have health coverage?

Orlando and his wife have
multiple part-time jobs

that don't offer insurance.

Can they qualify
for Medicaid?

Unfortunately, no, because
their combined annual income

is over the Medicaid threshold
for a family of five.

So they make too much money?

And not enough
at the same time.

They live
over the poverty line,

and yet they are still living
paycheck to paycheck.

I think their best option

would be to buy
private insurance

through
the Affordable Care Act.

Thank you.

My parents
don't have insurance?

I'm sorry, Ana.

How much will it cost
to keep my dad in the hospital?

I don't know.

But the ER visit alone will
likely be in the thousands.

We will figure
something out, okay?

Purple top for the CBC.

Red top for chemistries
and serologies.

Okay.

- Ready?
- Uh, yeah.

I can be a hard stick, though.

Now or never, hon.

Okay.

One, two...

three.

- Good blood return.
- Oh, thank God.

Pop one on.

You're supposed to release
the tourniquet now.

Right.
Sorry.

Lab won't take it
without your initials,

time, and date drawn.

- How you feeling?
- Peachy.

Hopefully I get to do this
several times every day.

All set.

Keep some pressure here
for a minute.

Initials, time, and date.

Oh.

Shit.

Environmental to North.

Sorry.

How is he?

He's stable.
He's doing great.

Doesn't look great.

Is there brain damage?

The head CT showed
no bleeding or skull fracture.

It's most likely
a bad concussion.

It's hard to know when
he'll regain consciousness.

- Did he break any bones?
- We don't think so.

He should thank those ferns.

Uh, chest and abdomen CT scans

also showed
no major internal injuries.

Mm-hmm.

What's that?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We need respiratory therapy
in here!

Okay.

One, two, three, over.

You got a problem
with the vent?

No, he's bleeding
from the back.

Got to prone him
to take a look.

Back away, Tanya.
One, two, three, up.

One, two, three, over.

- Good.
- Oh, shit.

- Left-flank area.
- Careful. Careful, everybody.

- There might be glass.
- That's a lot of blood.

2-centimeter
simple laceration.

Open a suture kit, 4-0 Prolene.

He wasn't bleeding
when we flipped him on arrival.

No, but when we moved him
around for CT,

it might have rubbed off
a clot.

Slow venous oozing.

I might need
a figure of eight.

Yeah, little piece
of glass in there.

It's just under the skin.

- Is it a loose fragment?
- Yeah, I can wiggle it around.

- Here, I'll pull it out.
- No, don't.

Shit.

Uh, that's--it's bigger
than I thought it would be.

- Shit.
- That looks arterial.

Can I get some 4-by-4s
over here, please?

Oh, I'm going to be sick.

Put some pressure
on this from all sides.

Hard and deep, please.

- I can push it back in.
- No!

No, you've done
enough damage.

Should I keep
pulling it out, then?

Absolutely not. The glass
was tamponading a vessel.

Not anymore.
BP's down. Page surgery!

- Ah, I was looking for you.
- Well, you found me.

Um, the X-ray came back
on the lady with the cough.

- Mm-hmm.
- Weird infiltrate. Have you seen it yet?

No, I've been trying
to catch up on my charting.

Right here.

Yep, stringy right lower lobe.

It looks like
aspiration pneumonia.

Think about it.

How do oral and gastric fluids
end up in lungs?

Um, dysphagia,
swallowing disorders.

But she's not an old person
choking on their food.

Right, and there's
protracted vomiting.

Okay, maybe
recent gastroenteritis,

food poisoning.

Yeah, or...

or...

an eating disorder.

You think she's bulimic?

I mean, she's fixated
on working out.

Check the, uh, enamel
behind her front incisors.

Um, oh, it's, uh--

if it's not
in the differential,

it won't be in the diagnosis.

You know that--

Yeah, you know--
you know that.

Nice job on the tap.

Thanks.

Hi. You called for a consult
on Jackson Davis?

Yes, we did.

I'll let Victoria
present the case.

This is Jada,
Jackson's sister.

This is Dr. Jefferson
from psychiatry.

"Psychiatry"?

Do you think this is
a mental-health problem?

We thought it best
to cover all our bases.

We'll know more
once I speak with your brother.

Okay.

Hi, Jackson.

Jackson, can you wake up?

- Jackson.
- They said he's sedated.

I'll come back
a little later.

- Oh, that was fast.
- Yeah.

Next time, maybe wait
until the patient wakes up

before calling me down.

Psychiatrists do best

when we can actually talk
to our patients.

I got a little ahead
of myself.

Um, will do.

Thank you.

Sorry.

Pressure's up
with one unit type specific.

What the fuck?
He was stable.

- Slight change in status.
- Okay, get the clamp ready.

Who's the genius
who pulled that out?

I thought
it was a loose fragment.

Next time, leave
the decisions to the adults.

Okay, Dr. McKay, ready to go?

- Whoa.
- Hoo.

Looks like an icicle.

Christmas in July.

Hey, Sophie,
can you answer that?

Okay, I am injecting
the X-stat.

- Hello?
- What is that?

It's a syringe filled

with tiny, rapid-expanding
hemostatic sponges.

Okay, got it.
Thanks.

Radiology attending says
a resident missed something.

There's a radiopaque
foreign body

in the left
paralumbar musculature.

Not anymore.

Sounds like
"first week in July" syndrome.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

- That looks pretty dry.
- On the surface.

Okay, let's turn him
back down.

Okay, one, two, three, over.

One, two, three, flip.

One, two, three, down.

All right,
CT is ready to rescan.

Interventional radiology
is holding a room.

Look at you--
so on top of things.

Hasta la próxima.

How you doing over here?

Definitely not great.

Right, well,
let's get you a ginger ale.

So we never, ever remove
a deep foreign body in the ER.

We always leave that
to surgery.

It won't happen again.

I was just coming
to find you.

Sure you were.

It's almost like
you're avoiding me.

Me? Never.

No, I'm just having one
of those busy days,

you know, living the dream,
saving America's tired,

poor, huddled masses
yearning to breathe free.

- You're a saint.
- I tell myself that every day.

I heard you had
a, uh, motorcycle crash

- come through about an hour ago.
- Yeah.

Couldn't save him.

And, no, he was not wearing
a helmet.

Interesting.

One motorcycle crash is not
going to scare me off my trip.

I didn't say it should.

I hope he died
doing what he loved.

That's...optimistic.

"Glass half full"
kind of guy.

- I am not on your couch.
- I'm aware.

- Conflict of interest here.
- Why? Because we're friends?

Ooh, look at you,
using the F word.

That's growth.

I use F words all the time.

I guess this therapy
must be working.

Ah, I got somebody new
for you.

She takes no shit.
You'll love her.

I hope so.

The last two have not
exactly been...my speed.

Meaning what, empathetic?

Look, sometimes it just takes
a little while

to, you know,
find the right fit.

Well, it's going
to have to wait,

because I'm going
on my sabbatical tomorrow.

There's always Zoom therapy.

Motorcycle trip
is zoom therapy.

I'll bet somebody set off
fireworks in the shitter.

How dumb is that?

You think people are smart?

Yeah.

What's up, man?

You want to get on the books?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. May--maybe.
Yeah.

Hey, look here.

I only take real money,

none of that
"I owe you" bullshit.

Okay, I have money, okay?

My first direct deposit
finally hit, so...

Nice. Hmm.

Put me down for $40...

for power outage.

- Nice.
- We got a big baller on our hands.

- Congrats, Doctor.
- Thank you.

I like this side of you, man.

- Any improvement?
- No.

What kind of super glue
did you use?

Does it matter?
My eye is still fucking shut.

Okay, there's
one other thing I can try.

No. I'm done.
I asked for Dr. J earlier,

and I would like to see her now.

I haven't been
in the hospital for a while.

I don't know a Dr. J.

She's one of the best doctors
in Pittsburgh.

Oh, Dr. J.

Hmm.

- Do what you must, milady.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, first, I need to get
a good grip for the reduction.

Uh-huh.

Here we go.

Try to relax.

Deep breath,
with your mouth open.

Not how I imagined
our first intimate encounter.

Okay, got it.

Now, on three, okay?

One...

Ah! Motherfucker.

Ho-ho!
You said "on three."

I--I know.

Sorry.
It keeps you from tensing up.

Okay, I think that worked.

- How does it feel?
- Can I sit up?

- Uh-huh.
- Oh.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

That is definitely better.

Oh, my God.

Great.

Can I give you a hug?

Mm, maybe--maybe later, okay?

Aspiration pneumonia?
How does that happen?

It's when bacteria
from the mouth or stomach

get into the breathing tube,

uh, when you're choking,

if you're eating or vomiting.

Oh.

Do you ever drink
a lot of alcohol,

maybe so much
that you pass out?

No, I'm not a big drinker.

Have you had the stomach flu
recently, food poisoning?

No and no.

Do you mind if we take
a look inside your mouth?

You can lean
your head back...

and open up wide.

What?

The enamel on the back
of your teeth is worn away.

What does that mean?

Um, it can happen

if someone makes themselves
vomit repeatedly.

All the stomach acid
dissolves the enamel.

What does that have to do
with having pneumonia?

It may have caused it.

Can you just give me
some medicine?

Yeah, we can do that.

Dr. J, finally.

It is so nice
to meet you, Dr. J.

This is Willow,
your new patient.

I'm actually
a student doctor.

I, uh, watch all
of your videos.

The one about coping
with difficult coworkers

was super helpful.

I got to watch that.

Um, um, so--so what is
Willow's health issue?

Uh, my eye--
it's superglued shut.

Halfway trim
and mineral oil didn't work?

Nope.

Then--then I would suggest
cutting the full lash down.

I concur, Dr. J.

As long as you're
the one doing it.

Oh.

Okay, yeah, sure.

Um, yeah.

Uh, sit back for me.

I'll get you to close
both your eyes

and be as still as possible.

Okay.

All you, Doc.

Thank you, Dr. Langdon.

Okay, here we go.

How many followers
do you have, Dr. J?

More than you'd guess,
Dr. Langdon.

There.

You did it.

Oh, my God.
This looks terrible.

I can still put a false lash
on it, though, right?

How are you feeling,
Mr. Diaz?

Much better.

We need to talk about
how your diabetes

progressed to this place.

This is Student Dr. Kwon.

What you say here
remains between us.

I'm taking a lower dose
of insulin than I should be.

How much of your prescribed
dose are you using at a time?

Half.

I used to have insurance
through work,

but I lost that job
when the pandemic hit.

It was easy to keep up
with my medication then.

I had a great
primary doctor, too.

Now I'm kind of on my own.

Do you have
a glucose monitor?

Uh, yes.

But I can't afford
the test strips every week.

They're too expensive.

Can we not talk about this
in front of my family?

- Hi.
- Hi.

There are my girls.

- Did you call your brothers?
- They're still at soccer.

I have good news.
I started a GoFundMe for Dad.

A what?

To help raise money
for Dad's medical care

- since we don't have insurance.
- No, no.

- Take it down, now.
- But why?

I work hard.
I don't need charity.

But, Dad, we've already--

Ana, you heard me!

Take it down.

Jesus, Orlando.

No necesito eso.

Louie, thought I'd sneak
back here to check on you.

- How we doing in here?
- Good.

- Tooth's feeling much better.
- Glad to hear it.

Looks like you're stuck with us
for the next three hours.

We need to monitor
your blood pressure.

How about a drink
while I wait?

Water or orange juice?

Uh, never mind.

So, uh...

how are the kids doing?

Oh, they're
perfect little monsters.

Tanner's five now.
Penny's three.

Oh, ain't that a blessing.

It is, but they have
zero interest in bedtime.

And there's the dog
always digging up the yard.

How much sun does
your lawn get?

I don't know.
Plenty.

Seed it
with perennial ryegrass.

And you want
to lightly water it

and put up a temporary fence
so the dog can't get back to it.

Color me impressed.

What can I say?
I like grass.

No, seriously, how do you--
how do you know all that?

I was a groundskeeper.

I worked with gardens and lawns
back in the day.

Robby.

Got a sec?

- Dr. Langdon.
- Dr. Al-Hashimi.

How's triage looking?

Donnie and I have it
under control.

Good. I want you to wrap up
what you're doing out there

and join us back here.

We're expecting more diverted
traffic from Westbridge.

Will do.

And I just want to say,
I think it's great

that you're in
the Physicians' Health Program.

I know it's a big commitment.

Uh, yeah, it was hard
at the beginning,

but, you know, I'm almost done
with year one now.

Only four more years to go.

Penny for your thoughts.

Oh, they're
way more expensive than that.

I'm on a budget.
Take it or leave it.

My day is not turning out
the way that I expected.

We had a callout.
Langdon was available.

I was sort of hoping to be
on my sabbatical

when he came back.

You two were very close.

Maybe this is
the universe's way

of telling you it's time
to clear the air.

Maybe it is.

Maybe it isn't.

Okay, so, um, we'll need
to keep you for the day

for your IV antibiotics and
to monitor your oxygen level.

Okay.

Okay.

What if...

I have been making
myself vomit?

Well...

bulimia is treatable.

I was going to stop.

I stopped before.

My family gathers around food.

We eat when we're celebrating.
We eat when we're mourning.

We just eat.

But then I got to college,

and it was all about
how you looked.

That's a lot of pressure.

I started vomiting.

Everyone said I looked great.

So I went to the gym more.

I didn't need to purge as much.

Last year,
I went through a breakup.

It all came back.

You're...

doing long-term damage
to your body.

And it doesn't just
go away on its own.

It's okay to ask for help.

We can set you up

with our eating-disorder
program upstairs.

- It's here in the hospital?
- It's an outpatient program.

You'd meet with a therapist

for individual and group therapy
once or twice a week.

Would you be open
to meeting with a therapist?

I guess.

Do you have any preference
for type of therapist--

male, female?

If there's a Black woman,
I'd like that.

Yeah, we can arrange that.

Thank you.

That was a good catch.

Black women
tend to go underdiagnosed

when it comes
to eating disorders.

- Really?
- Yeah, unfortunately.

You know, I thought I had an
eating disorder in high school,

and so I did a lot of research
on the subject.

I didn't--no, I just--

My sister and I were
really picky eaters growing up,

you know?

Color and texture.

Vegetables and fish.

Oh, eggs.

Slimy okra, asparagus--
ugh, disgusting.

Drove our parents crazy.

Oh, eggs, weird.

It's not that weird.

I got to catch up
on my charting.

Ah.

You know, if--if you want
to talk, I'm around.

Talk about what?

Being an R2?

Way harder than intern year.

Oh, yeah, um...

yeah, overseeing
the med students, the interns,

having no time
to do my own charts.

Yeah, just wait
until you get into Medical,

Surgical, and Cardiac ICU.

I stands for "intense."

Somehow that seems
like an understatement.

Well, it does help you
grow your clinical skills,

you know, caring
for the sickest patients.

Tell that to these charts.

Um, dictate.
Helps you go faster.

Oh, uh, what happened with
our patient from Westbridge?

You never grabbed me
for his troponin.

Mr. Samba--
it was a posterior STEMI.

What?
Didn't show on the 12-lead.

Oh, usually doesn't.

And I think most clinicians
would have missed it.

But you didn't.

Guess I got lucky.

Whatever, Fuckleberry.

Okay, I'm sorry. Did I do
something to bother you?

Nope.

Okay.

- Yo.
- What's up?

I got a bounce-back.
You remember Debbie Cohen?

Not really. I've seen
16 patients this morning.

The restaurant worker
with cellulitis

- on the dorsum of the foot?
- Yes, yes, she's on Keflex.

I marked the border.

Yeah, I got a hot pack on it,
but, uh, you should take a look.

Hi.
Dr. Langdon.

I wasn't expecting
to see you back so soon.

- Meds upset your stomach?
- Uh, no.

The pain got worse,
and you said to come back

if the redness spread
outside the Sharpie line.

Let's take a look.

Ah.

It looks like the infection

isn't responding
to the pills I prescribed you,

so we need to get you
on some IV antibiotics

and get you back to the ED now.

Uh, i-is it bad?

Not if we can get
a handle on it.

- MRSA?
- Or maybe worse.
