All language subtitles for Greys Anatomy S22E11 1080p x265-ELiTE

If you think choosing
a college major is hard,

wait until you have to choose
your medical specialty.

How late were you up
researching treatments

for that patient?

Late.
You need sleep.

I'll get right on that.

You have no idea
how many e-mails you get

until you come back
from a three-month sabbatical.

"Delete all."
Wait.

What if some of those
are important?

I'm practicing
healthy boundaries.

If they need me,
they can pick up the phone.

It's not just what medicine
you'll practice.

It's your whole life.

Should I pull the drains
on Mr. Sherwood before we round?

No.
Adams can do that.

Um, Toni Wright is down
a resident,

so I took the liberty
of moving you to her service.

I hope that's okay.

Dr. Toni Wright?
Yeah.

NIH grant recipient

for research on myofibroblasts
for wound healing,

pioneer in lymph edema
Dr. Toni Wright?

Yes.
Okay. Yeah.

I may have read up on her.

Play it cool.

Yeah, yeah.
I got to go prep.

Uh, Ben Warren...
Hey, hey, hey.

Come on. I was... Look.
I was born cool.

Yeah. Okay.

Oh, my God.

I'm playing.
I'm playing.

Who you'll work with,

whether you'll be home in time
for dinner

or never see your kids.

I love how they think we have
time to go to the doctor.

Last year,
I had a dental student

pull one of my teeth
in the cath lab.

Have you considered
egg freezing?

Have I considered
giving myself a series of shots

and screwing up my hormones

and then going through
an uncomfortable procedure

and then paying forever
to store my eggs in a freezer

on the chance
that I might want kids?

You could've just said no.

I might do it.
I want to keep my options open.

Why do they need to know when
your mom had her first period?

Oh. I hope they don't, 'cause I
have no idea and no way to ask.

Ooh. Smoothies.

The choice is yours,
and so are the consequences.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.
So my lawyer wanted to check in.

They still haven't received
any papers to sign.

Yeah.
I still have them.

Your lawyer mentioned
wanting to file

before the end of the month.

I-I just...
I've been slammed with work.

If we don't do it soon,
they're gonna make us pay

additional retainers.

I am aware. I'm... I'm sorry.
I-I have a consult.

But I-I will get to them
as soon as I can.

Dr. Morales to the ICU.

Dr. Martha Morales to the ICU.

Dr. Wright.
Hey.

Ben Warren. Thrilled to be on
your service. Nice to meet you.

Benson, back on my service
again?

Yeah. Can't get enough.
And people call me Blue.

After the Joni Mitchell album?

No. Oh. Well, that's too bad.

It's one of the all-time greats.

I applied to three colleges
in California

solely because I thought
it'd be cool to sing that line

about coming home there
and literally mean it.

Do either of you play guitar?

Um, not really.
A little.

Well... Enh.

Listen.
Um, feel free to push me.

You know, I like to work hard,

and I'm actually applying
for a plastics fellowship.

Good for you.

You should've told her
you play guitar.

Five minutes to answer a page.

Patient could've died
in that time.

Did somebody die?
That's irrelevant.

Okay. What have we
got? Randall Lutton, 62.

He has scrotal swelling
and severe pain

after blunt trauma.

BP is slightly elevated.
Gave 2 of morphine en route.

Oh, God.
It hurts like hell.

Okay. We're gonna get
you more inside, okay?

Got up to use the bathroom
in the middle of the night

and walked right into
the dresser.

I'm gonna need an ultrasound
and some gel.

Are you a doctor?

Urologist.
No need to comment on the irony.

Okay.
Let's get him in trauma one.

Hey, Corban.

Just double-checking you're
getting your IV antibiotics

before rounds
with Dr. Altman.

Um, do you think you could slip
me the staff Wi-Fi password?

I know.
The guest Wi-Fi is spotty.

But ours is used for things like
imaging and staff messaging,

so they're pretty strict
about it.

Could you make an exception?

I just... I really want to see
my cousin get married

in Big Sur today.

Second cousin.
Second marriage.

And he's not that great.

You didn't get it from me.

Thank you.

Somehow I am always
in the hospital

for my friends' and family's
big life events.

This is his second aortic graft
to get infected in a year.

No offense to Dr. Altman,

but if this one doesn't take,
we need a second opinion.

Well, Dr. Altman's
extremely skilled.

She's even kind of famous now.
She invented a new surgery.

Yeah.
But, like, a difficult one?

Don't look at me like that.

I already know I'm becoming Mom.

The surgery is
incredibly complicated.

She's on a podcast.
You can look it up.

Told you.
I just have bad luck.

Well, hopefully the new TEVAR
gives your aorta a break

so the antibiotics
can do their job.

That's what you said last time.

I'll be back soon.

Dr. Maile Tanigawa to the ER.

Welcome back,
Dr. Shepherd.

Have you met our new
plastics attending, Dr. Toni Wright?

Relatively new.
Nice to meet you.

We should get started.
It's a LeFort fracture.

I'm sure there will
be questions.

Did you see that?

Uh, yes.
Uh, yeah. I don't know.

I don't think she
remembers me. Should she?

Well, we went to
med school together.

We were in the same study group.
She hated me.

Well, maybe it's better
she doesn't remember.

Teresa Daniels, 49.

Post-op day five
from a hemicraniectomy

for subdural hematoma
after auto versus pedestrian.

Concomitant LeFort 1 fractures.

Please say you're fixing
my mom's face today.

That's up to
Dr. Shepherd.

She'll tell us if your mom's
head bleed is healed enough

for us to proceed. I'll do
a neuro exam on her now

and make sure the EVD
is working.

So, uh, what are you studying?

Data science.

I was gonna major in it,
but the intro course is hard.

I'm a freshman at UC Davis.

Do you have a study group?

I haven't found
the right people.

It does make a big difference.

My mom says to stick with it.

I was complaining to her
about it on the phone

when she got hit
by that idiot driver.

That's awful.
I'm so sorry.

She'll be happy to see you
when she wakes up.

ICP is 12,
and subdural is stable.

Great.

So we're good to go.

Let's order a CT max/face
before bringing her to the O.R.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

How was Cousin Frank's wedding?
Were you able to stream it?

Still no contractions?

Don't jinx it.

Dr. Meade?

Corban Gregory,
28-year-old male.

Status post coarctation repair
when he was 2.

He subsequently had
two graft repairs.

Both became infected.

Has now developed
a pseudoaneurysm

and is here today
for his second TEVAR.

You made somebody a new aorta?

He's stalking you online.
I told him it was weird.

And it said that the patient had
two repeat graft infections too.

Can I get this? A TEVAR
is still a solution for you.

It's less invasive
and less risky.

For me or for you?

Corban, the patient
that you're reading about

was much sicker...

I don't want another band-aid
if there's a permanent fix.

I don't want to diminish what
you're going through, but...

You think you know
what I'm going through?

My favorite thing is running,

but I can't remember the
last time I had a runner's high.

I won't be able to lift
my baby nephew.

I can't travel.
I can't visit my friends.

I have spent more time
in the CCU

than my own house
in the last year.

Is that not sick enough for you?

You just don't care?

That's not true.

Then why won't you fix me?

I wish there was an easy fix.

Just get out.

Get out!

Okay.

It's a larger patient load
than usual,

but with two of you...
Adams, please tell me

that you were at
the benefits fair

or rounding or anything
but late.

Sorry. I was on the phone
with Boise General.

They don't have Katie Rogers'
immunotherapy either.

The government cut off funding.
You're not gonna find it.

Okay. What about cytoreduction
surgery with HIPEC?

What about it?

Well, could Katie be
a candidate for it?

I e-mailed you the case
report. Mm. Okay. No.

I appreciate your initiative,
and I will look at it.

But right now,
I need you to focus on patients

that are currently admitted
to the hospital.

We're down two residents due
to illness and a family wedding.

So I need you and Spencer to get
started on the floor, okay?

Ms. Hayes needs a Dobhoff tube
for tube feeds.

Oh! Well, I've never inserted
an NG tube on a real person.

Or a fake one, so...

Well, um, Adams will help you.

Don't forget to check
your e-mail.

I...

Just keep taking deep breaths.

New pain medication
should kick in any second.

Can I take a look?
Yeah.

Wow.

That looks painful.

Last I checked,
it measured 20 centimeters.

I suspect a bleeding
testicular artery.

Do you see anything? Uh,
it looks like it's expanding.

Let's get an ultrasound
and page urology.

Was the dresser sharp?
I do see a couple small lesions.

Uh, must have just snagged
a drawer pull.

Ah. Okay.

Let's get him some more
fluids and a full set of labs.

Okay.
Well, the testicles are intact.

And they're in
the correct position.

But I do see some free fluid
in the scrotum.

Oh, my God, Randall!

Is it his heart?

Uh, no.
My heart's just fine.

Doctors, this is my wife, Kimmy.

Hi.
Hi.

Is that one of your...

Yeah.
I walked into the dresser.

Probably just a hematoma.

Is this gonna jack
your fertility?

I ovulate next week.

We're going to give you
some privacy.

Dr. Marcozzi, dial Radiology.

Oh.

You've been back three hours,
and you've already requested

a new 3-D microscope
with AR tech.

Why are you reading e-mails

when you are supposed to be
on leave?

Catherine finally left
the house.

If that woman makes me take
one more nap,

I'm gonna lose my mind.

Um...

When did you hire Toni Wright?

A few months ago.
I'm surprised we got her.

Jackson says she's the go-to
for facial reconstruction.

Jackson is the go-to
for facial reconstruction.

Is there a problem?

I j... I just spent
the last few months

getting to a really good place.

I took Scout camping.

I went to the grocery store
during normal hours.

I slept.

You need to get to the point.

Wright and I have a history
in that...

in that historically, she...
pushes my buttons.

If I hired people

based on whose buttons
they push,

no one could work
at this damn hospital.

And your request
for a microscope is denied.

You know, I, uh,
I read that you won

the Goldstein Award
for excellence in teaching.

Hmm?

Um... No.

So, you know, you must be
an excellent teacher.

That's the name of the award.

She is all set.
Okay.

Yep.

Well, her nasofrontal
and ZF sutures are broken.

Good. What else?

Her zygomatic arch
is comminuted.

And it's a LeFort 3,
not a LeFort 1.

And this just got
a lot more complicated.

Yeah.

Should I call the O.R.,

let them know that we're gonna
push the surgery?

Her daughter's gonna be crushed.

No.
We're not pushing anything.

Every day that she's intubated,

it makes it tougher
for her to recover.

We're just gonna have to come up
with a new plan quickly.

Dr. Traversa to Radiology.

Dr. Valentina Traversa
to Radiology.

Is he asleep?

Just resting.

Did you get my scans back?

Everything looks stable, so
you're all set for the TEVAR.

Corban.

He was hoping you'd say
that he got worse

so he could get that new...
aorta business.

The TEVAR really might work.

A new aorta
would definitely work.

If you survive it.

I want to talk to the other guy.

The doctor that did the new
surgery with Dr. Altman.

Doctor Ndugu. He could give
me a second opinion, right?

Dr. Altman should be in
shortly.

You can ask her any questions
or... I'm asking for Ndugu.

This is my life.

I'm not gonna ask permission
to hear about all my options.

Would you?

Just give me 10 minutes
with him, please.

I'll talk to him.
No promises.

Catherine. I didn't know
you were here today.

Ooh. I had to get out
of that house.

For 10 days, I've been
taking care of my husband.

I don't know
how these nurses do it.

All right.
Where's my consult?

Randall?

Randall, what are you
doing here?

Good to see you.

Oh. We missed you
at the last AUA conference.

We were on our honeymoon.
Oh, that's right.

So, what...
what brings you in?

Uh, you... you have
more important things to do.

I can see a resident.

Nonsense. I am here.
Dr. Hunt, what do we got?

Blunt trauma. Now experiencing
severe scrotal swelling.

It's the size of a coconut.

Thank you, Dr. Millin,
for that wonderful assessment.

Randall, may I?

Uh...

You don't have to be here
for this.

Why don't you just go eat?

I'm sure you're starving
after Pilat... ees.

I am not leaving your side.

How does it look?

Well, for a blunt trauma,

it doesn't seem to follow
the typical injury pattern.

Will this mess up
his sperm count?

Yes, it will.

From walking into a dresser?
How is it this bad?

I'll let Dr. Lutton
answer that.

I didn't walk into anything.

Okay.
Please don't hate me.

I gave myself a vasectomy
last night.

Oh.

While I was at book club?

What the hell?
I will page Psych.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Keep swallowing.

It pushes the tube down your
esophagus to your intestine.

Okay.

Does that look right?
Yeah.

Keep going until you hit the
mark we measured on the tube.

Are you sure you know
what you're doing?

Uh...

She does. Keep sipping.

Chin down.
Is that mine?

My cat-sitter's
supposed to be calling.

Excuse me.

Hi.
It's Dr. Adams.

Uh, yeah.

Uh, actually,
I'm with a patient right now.

Can I call you back?

Okay.
I'm done.

Ah. All right. Looks good.

All right, pull out the stylet,

secure the tube
and start trickle tube feeds.

Then we got to do research
for Dr. Bailey.

She didn't mention anything
about research.

It's for her patient.
Oh. Well, she's in luck.

I'm really good at research.

In med school,
I presented a poster...

Great. Finish up here,
and I'm gonna get started.

Where are you going?

I'll text you.

I'll text him.

Hey.
How's it going with Wright?

I have no idea.

Did you change services?

No.
I-I'm just getting zero vibe.

Because you're overvibing?

No. No, no, no, no. Okay.
I've been cool.

No excessive praise,
no impulsive moves.

Well, just give it time.

Hey, if it makes you
feel better,

I hear your residency director
is very impressed.

It does.

What were you even
thinking? Psych is on their way.

That man doesn't need
a psychiatrist.

He needs a marriage counselor.

You think he was successful
doing it on himself?

We'll find out.

I got to get him in the O.R.
and evacuate that hematoma.

Can I scrub in?

I've never operated
on a DIY vasectomy before.

It'll be my second.
Wait.

You know somebody else who tried
to do their own vasectomy?

Another urologist.
Said he was embarrassed.

I don't know why these boys

don't just pick up the phone
and call me.

It's just a hollow tube
filled with sperm.

In fact, if you ever want one...

I'm good down here.
Go scrub in.

Uh, wait.

Let's let Kimmy get in
another few rounds,

then go prep him.

I can't even count
how many fractures she has.

Yeah.
The number doesn't matter.

Okay. So h-how do we plate
her zygomatic arch?

It's like tempered glass.

There's nothing solid
to screw into.

Warren, any ideas?

Uh, create a scaffold
of cadaveric bone paste and BMP.

You've studied this.

I saw it once, years ago.

I-I was an anesthesiologist
before I went into surgery.

Mm.

Interesting.
Okay.

So our first step is gonna be
to wire her jaw

with her bite
in the proper place.

We won't be able to have her
orally intubated for anesthesia.

Warren, trach
or submental intubation?

Oh, trach. It's a straight shot
into the airway.

Less risky than going through
the chin into the mouth.

Spoken like an anesthesiologist.

A plastic surgeon thinks
it'll take her three months

to heal from a trach.

A submental incision
will heal in a week.

Kwan, what are the steps
of a submental intubation?

You make an incision
under the chin, and...

Honestly, I don't know.

Of course not.
You're a gen-surge resident.

You'll learn today.
Cool.

It is.
Take a look at this.

So we would create
a large segment of aorta

with a synthetic graft,

rerouting it from your chest
to your abdomen.

And then we would staple off
the infected piece here

and remove it at a later time.

So then no more
TEVAR procedures?

If the surgery is successful,
yes, that's the idea.

And you really think
this could be a success for me?

I would need to
further study your case

before I could answer that,
so shoot me his latest imaging.

And I want to do another echo
before we...

Dr. Ndugu? Excuse me.
May I have a word, please?

Sure. Yeah.
Excuse us.

Someone talk fast.

Corban asked for a second...
Not you.

You're talking to my patient
behind my back

about a procedure
that I've already said no to.

Okay.
I assumed you were aware.

Don't do that.

Don't put it on the resident

to have the uncomfortable
conversation with her attending.

Your patient asked
if he was a good candidate

for a ventral aorta.

I simply explained what it
was. No. You got his hopes up.

And if you had come to me first,
I would have explained

that unlike Nora,
Corban has major scarring

from a previous
esophageal reconstruction.

He is a bad candidate for it. How
do we know who's a good candidate?

We've done this once. And that might be
all we ever do if we kill Corban with it.

Nora hasn't even hit
the six-month mark.

We need more time
to see how she does.

Okay.
All right.

Dr. Altman, I'm sorry.
I wasn't sure...

How did Corban even know
about the ventral aorta

in the first place?

If you shut me out again,
you are off this case.

I'm her boss.

Uh, didn't she make you chief...
while she was chief?

Okay. Well, so what?
Now I owe her?

If I made someone chief

and they gave my patient
a second opinion behind my back,

I would blow my stack too.
Yeah, yeah.

That... That part was bad.
But I'm not wrong.

This surgery could cure
all kinds of aortic disease.

You know?

Hey, Toni Wright just gave me
the cold shoulder again.

It's okay.
I was pretty much done.

Okay, she can do
a super micro surgery

in a 30x magnified field,

but she can't say hi to me?

A-Amelia, don't...

J... I can't watch this.

Nope.

Hi!

Hi.

We went to med school together.
You hated me.

No.
I-I didn't hate you.

So you do remember me?

Yeah.

♪ My time to shine,
like a summer day ♪

I should've
thought this through.

I don't really know
what happens next.

Why did you think I hated you?

You ran out
of your own birthday party

when I showed up uninvited.

Oh, my God.
You changed study groups

and actively avoided me in labs.

Because I liked you.

What?

I tried to kiss you in the
Mission during orientation.

You were drunk. I th...
I thought you stumbled into...

into me.

No.
I had a huge crush on you.

I mean, I thought you were
queer, but then I wasn't sure,

so I didn't want to get burned,
so I kept my distance.

But you have nothing
to worry about.

This is all way in the past.

And, um, frankly,
you're not my type.

My O.R. is ready.

For some reason, I froze
when I saw you earlier.

I'm glad we cleared the air.

I'm pretty sure Altman hates me.

Yeah. If he didn't kick you off
the case, it's probably fine.

Let's talk about something else.

Uh, my patient tried to
give himself a vasectomy.

Wow.
We will always have jobs.

Everyone thinks they can do
anything themselves

if they watch enough videos
on social media.

He's a board-certified
urologist.

You know,
that actually seems doable

with some Lidocaine
and a mirror.

O.R.'s ready.

I'm out.

♪ Everything comin' up ♪

♪ I'm in bloom ♪

How come women in their 20s

have to shell out big bucks
to preserve their fertility

but men in their 60s
are so worried about pregnancy,

they are giving themselves
vasectomies?

Evolution failed us.

Do it with me.

Our future and less-fertile
selves will thank us.

So we can both be hormonal
at the same time?

It's a hard pass.
But I will do your shots.

I am very good
at giving injections.

Don't ask why.

You can have the other half
of my sandwich if you're hungry.

I brought it from home.
Yeah. I'm good.

Did you e-mail me the results
for the immunotherapy study

from San Francisco?

I included it in the Chicago
study... at the bottom. Okay.

I like to cook.
Do you?

It makes me happy,
following directions and...

I wonder if we could file

a compassionate-use
application for her meds.

Or maybe we could get it
off label,

directly from the manufacturer.

Why is this particular patient's
research so important?

I-I just meant weren't there
others in the trial?

What about them?
Look.

I-I care about
all the patients. I do.

I just...

Katie...

She's in her late 20s,
just like us.

She feels like a classmate.
Or more like a friend.

We've just spent
a lot of time together,

so she is now kind of a friend.

I get it.

It's like when you meet someone

and you feel like you've
already met them before.

Like... they're supposed to be
in your life.

Oh, no.
It's... It's Wendy.

Hey.
May I come in?

She wanted me to apologize.
Unbelievable.

It's okay.
Can we have a minute?

Sure.

Don't say anything stupid.

You're stressing me
and the baby out enough.

If you want Dr. Ndugu
to replace your aorta,

I won't stand in your way,

but I do need you
to hear me out first.

Okay. Talk.

Okay.

We have done this once,

on a person with very,
very different anatomy,

who could have a complication
at any moment.

So it's not just a risk.
It's a complete unknown.

There is no way to know
what will happen

if we staple your aorta shut.

And it's irreversible.

If the staples don't hold
and you hemorrhage, you'll die.

I don't want to do
this surgery on you

because I want you to be able
to meet your nephew

and see your sister become a mom
and go running again

and visit your friends.

And I know the idea
of going through this again

is infuriating, but at least...

at least you'll still be alive.

I'll give you more time.

Thanks.

Nice.
You didn't skive at all.

And now I will lift
the scalp flap...

to expose the face.

Hold up. What have you
got there? A beaver blade.

What, are you trying to
keep us here all day?

Plastic surgeons use this
to make delicate incisions.

Yeah, sure,
if we're working on a cleft lip

or somewhere where
every millimeter counts.

The scalp's robust.
Get him the 15 blade.

Make sure to stay
in the same plane.

Good.

Oh.
There's some fluid.

Get me a specimen tube.

Paper towel.

It's a halo sign.
Damn it. She's leaking CSF.

We need neuro now.

What happened? She was
fine. I started the trickle feeds,

and her sats dropped.
What's wrong?

Hold on. We're gonna find out.
Just don't move.

The tube is in her lung.

Wait. You didn't see that
on the X-ray?

What X-ray?
Let me see.

Look, you have to get an X-ray
after you insert a Dobhoff,

most importantly,
before you start feeds.

Okay. Let's pull it out.
Quickly, now!

I'm... I'm s-sorry.
This was my first one.

I-I didn't know. It's
okay. And we can fix this.

Uh, prepare for a bronchoscopy
to suction the feeds out.

Okay.

Suction.

Is it... Is it weird operating
on your friend's scrotum?

My dear.

You've seen one testicle,
you've seen 'em all.

But ask me if I think
the man has a screw loose.

Ooh! Mm.

He must really not want kids.

Of course not.
He's a grandfather.

That's when all the fun starts.

Raising a child is hard.

This coming from the chairwoman
of a national hospital system.

I don't know how
you did it. Me neither.

But I will tell you this.

As proud as I am
of all my accomplishments,

the best job I've ever had
was being Jackson's mom.

And the biggest surprise.

I didn't think
I wanted to be a parent.

I... I just never had
that pull.

But life is full of surprises.

Yeah. Just ask Kimmy. Oh.

She better make sure that lawyer
is looking over that prenup.

Okay. Let us finish
this vasectomy in the right way.

I've palpated the vas deferens
and isolated it.

Now what is next?

Exteriorize, ligate both ends,
then divide and send to path.

Mm-hmm.

After you.

Um, 4-0 Vicryl.

-All right. What happened?
-She has a CSF leak.

Okay. Show me where
the fluid's coming from.

Do you think it's
from the cranial base?

I can't see.
Let's light it up.

Dilute fluorescein, please.

Inject it into the EVD
and clamp it.

Injecting now.

All right. Now we wait.

-Lights, please.
-For what?

The drain is in her ventricle,
which is filled with CSF.

If this is a leak,
we should see...

Yeah, the fluorescence

is coming from the location
of the dural tear.

Is it weird that I think
that's beautiful?

Not at all.

All right. Let's sew this up.
5-0 nylon.

Actually, the dura is friable.
It's not gonna hold a stitch.

And the pericranium is too
scarred to harvest for a patch.

Want some fascia lata? I think
that might be our only option.

Prep the thigh.
Not the only option.

Instead of another incision,
I can harvest fascia

from the existing field.

You think it'll have enough bite
to hold the dura?

Give me three minutes.
I'll show you. Mm-hmm.

Scalpel.

Okay, Mom.
What... Whatever.

I'll let you know
when I know what he's decided.

Hey.
Everything okay?

Everything's fine.

I'm just...
a terrible person.

I have a hard time
believing that.

You're spending
your third trimester

with your brother in the CCU.

My mom's a wreck

because her son is having
another big surgery

while she's recovering
from pneumonia.

And I just yelled at her because
she didn't have an opinion

on the paint color
of the nursery.

You want your mom's help.
It doesn't make you terrible.

I'm just overwhelmed.

Yeah. Of course you are.
There's a lot going on.

It's so stupid.

I am 36 years old.
I'm about to have a kid.

But I still just want my mom.

I know the feeling.

I should call her and apologize.

I'll see you up there.

Dr. Bailey,
I am so sorry.

I take full responsibility.

I should've told Spencer
to check the KUB

before starting feeds.
Yeah. Damn right.

And you better have
a good reason you didn't.

Yeah.
A pharmaceutical company called

with a lead on Katie's infusion,
so I just wanted...

No. The... The last time
I checked, I asked you

to focus on your patients
admitted in the hospital.

I only picked up long enough

to let them know
that I was serious.

Wendy could've died
of chemical pneumonitis

or pneumonia.
She didn't.

And Katie could die if we
don't fight for her. I know.

I am fighting for
her too. Are you?

'Cause what options
have you found?

What research have you done?

Have you exhausted
your contact list?

Because it feels like
you've given up.

Oh, so... you think after Katie
sobbed in my arms,

I shrugged and said,
"Good luck"?

That I gave her a goody bag
and sent her on her way?

She's dying, okay?
We...

And I think about it
every single day.

And I also think about
my 65-year-old

with decompensated cirrhosis
who's treatment-resistant

and...
and the 17-year-old

that's septic
and I can't figure out why.

Don't forget about John Doe
in the ICU,

whose abdomen
I had to leave open.

Yeah. He's also keeping
me up at night.

And now I guess you can add
Wendy to my list.

See, I haven't given up
on Katie,

but I also haven't given up
on the rest of my patients.

And that is where you and I
are different.

Hi.

Randall did great.

He is recovering now,

and they will call you
when he's ready for visitors.

Is it bad if I don't answer?

No one would hold it
against you.

I really do love him.

That's what makes this hurt
so much.

I mean, it's his body,
and he can do whatever he wants.

But if I want to stay married
to him,

I don't get a say
in whether I have a baby.

Well, you could always
ask him to reverse it.

What's the point?

He obviously doesn't want to
have kids with me.

Uh...

Well, can you get a puppy?

I'm allergic.

That's unfortunate.

Hey.

Hey.

I did Corban's TEVAR.
He did great.

His numbers are improving.

Okay.

Look. I'm... I'm sorry if I
came across as harsh earlier.

I-I still maintain

that the ventral aorta wasn't
the right call for this patient.

What about the next one?

You were more than happy
to talk about this surgery

on podcasts, publish
abstracts, present it.

You were the one
who came up with it.

What's the point
if you never do it again?

It's a "break the glass
in case of emergency" surgery.

But does it have to be?

Think of the number of people
suffering from aortic disease

with no options.

We might have something
that could help them.
