‐ Oh. ‐ Whoa‐whoa!

Sorry, Jerry.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

I should have got cross‐country skis.

Well, still 17 shopping days left

till Christmas.

[sighs] Slow day?

Not a single patient.

Whoo!

[chuckles]

‐ I feel like I'm in camp. ‐ Shh!

I love the first big snowstorm.

Did Jen get out okay?

She left yesterday.

I thought she had till Wednesday.

She went early.

Early?

‐ Ah! ‐ Ah!

‐ Sorry. ‐ Sorry.

[whispering] I don't want to talk about it.

Then why'd you bring it up?

Towel clip.

Towel clip.

[whispering] Why are we doing this?

Mom, get out of my room.

[chuckling]

‐ Shh. ‐ Shh.

(woman on TV) And it's a mess out there.

This monster of a storm began in the Rockies

'crept across the plains'

'and landed on the Midwest this morning'

'dumping seven inches of snow on the ground before dawn.'

‐ Ooh! Boy, is it cold? ‐ 'At close to nine inches.'

(woman on TV) 'That left the morning rush hour'

'looking like a demolition derby.'

[indistinct chattering on TV]

What's a four‐letter word for possessions?

Stuff.

Roxanne, temp clerks do answer the phone.

My car's snowed in.

I'm stuck.

Nurse call.

You know that blue flu

that the cops get sick with?

She thinks she caught it.

Mmm.

[chuckles]

Bob.

Bob, why don't you relax?

It's just going to get dirty again.

All the reason more to keep the foot up on it.

‐ Leg. Leg up on it. ‐ Alright.

You wanna help put up the Christmas ornaments instead?

‐ Ornaments? ‐ Mm‐hmm.

(Susan) 'Ugh.'

‐ He's kind of cute. ‐ Really?

Yeah. He's got beautiful eyes, thick hair..

That's a low blow.

Nothing. Uh, we're just taking inventory.

Gurney number A‐7‐4‐0‐3.

You can go back to sleep.

‐ Okay? ‐ Okay.

[snorts]

[snoring]

(man on TV) 'The national weather service says'

'this could turn into the biggest snowstorm'

'since January of 1967'

'when 23 inches fell in 28 hours.'

'The last half hour alone brought us more than a half..'

(Mark) What happened to the security camera?

Somebody stole it.

‐ Are you, are‐are you‐‐ ‐ Yeah, yeah, I'm ready.

What's the occasion?

John Taglieri and I are getting married.

[chuckles] That's great. Congratulations.

Thanks.

How was Jamaica?

The Bahamas. It was fabulous.

(Linda) 'The snorkeling was incredible.'

Lots of jellyfish.

You're gonna tell them about that groin pull too?

Hey, congratulations again.

You guys are going to be very happy.

Thanks.

I'm going to go take a nap.

‐ Call me later, okay? ‐ Okay.

Doug's idea of a perfect vacation

is to lie on a deck chair for a week

with one of those parasol drinks in his hand.

Sounds pretty good to me.

‐ What? ‐ 'I've gotta skate.'

Uh, you might want to..

‐ I put up. ‐ Hmm.

Never mind.

(man on TV) 'And it's getting worse out there.'

'Our usual monthly snowfall at this time of year..'

Calm down, Mr. Blinker.

When is the baby's due date?

Uh‐huh. And how far apart are the contractions?

Call 911 now.

Yeah.

Mrs. Blinker's in labor

but she doesn't want to come into the hospital.

She wants to deliver watching the snow fall.

She'd enjoy the snowfall more with an epidural.

(man on phone) 'County General, this is dispatch'

'for status update. Over.'

Dispatch, County General is on full open status. Over.

Wow.

Probably an F SI1.

Platinum setting.

That's a $12,000 ring.

You are here to work.

Get up.

‐ No patients, no work. ‐ Huh.

Thing about work, there is always some around.

Now, I want you to empty the wastebaskets into the hopper

and re‐line them with plastic bags.

I ain't no garbageman.

[intense music]

(Malik) 'Oh, man.'

[beeping slows down]

(Wendy) 'I can get a carotid pulse, faint but I feel it.'

[intense music]

(Lydia) 'Set up that dopamine and run it in ten mics per kilo.'

What happened?

It was Bob.

Bob?

Bob.

Bob?

[instrumental music]

The police said that our baby, Ashley..

[baby crying]

Oh, my God.

Ashley.

Oh, God.

Oh, I love you. Are you okay?

They found the leg.

‐ 'Vitals?' ‐ BP's 110/70.

Pulse is 112 and strong.

‐ Pulse ox is good, 95%. ‐ Great. What's he had?

Eight units packed cells, four liters Ringer's.

We're in a holding pattern for vascular.

Why don't we fly this puppy ourselves?

Send to OR for a vascular tray

Bovie, drapes and gowns and an ex‐fix.

You going to do a re‐implantation in the ER?

Not me. We. Let's get a start on him.

The vascular team will swoop down

when they smell the glory.

Alright. Now you're talking. Let's go.

Here's the abdominal, chest and C‐spine film.

His BP came up with four units.

Oh, Susan. Strong piece of work.

I've seen chief surgical residents do worse.

Thanks. Have you seen Bob?

Officer, you wanna escort

this camera crew out of here? Right now.

‐ Yo, Dr. Lewis. ‐ Yeah.

They need you to scrub in Trauma 1.

Okay.

Do you know where Cvetic is?

His exchange hasn't been able to reach him.

‐ No. ‐ Dr. Lewis, stat.

Okay.

Do you know what we call motorcycles

around here, ace?

No. What?

Donorcycles.

[laughing]

Donorcycles. I like that.

Yeah, you would. You gotta hurry it up, Carter.

You got a million things to do.

Hi.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm trying to get this cast off.

How the hell do you change your pants, man?

They put it on me as a joke

and now it's starting to itch!

[laughing]

Yeah, tell me about it.

Eight casts in six months.

Hog sat on me.

Dropped my Nighthawk.

[whirring]

Oh, yeah.

Relax, doc

This won't hurt a bit. Ha ha ha.

Hey! Hey‐hey!

Watch your back. Coming through.

‐ Careful. ‐ That's Mrs. Ramos.

(Carol) 'You want me to come with you?'

No, thanks.

Mrs. Ramos.

I'm Dr. Ross.

Your husband sustained... very serious injuries

in the accident.

He was brought here.

And, um..

...despite our best efforts, we were unable to save him.

[instrumental music]

He...he died.

[Mrs. Ramos crying]

[music continues]

I'm sorry.

[music continues]

[music continues]

Goodnight.

[crying]

Bob?

[music continues]

Bob?

[crying]

Now I will never be a doctor here.

[laughing]

[clears throat]

Uh...were you planning on being one?

In my country, I was a surgeon.

Vas...v‐v‐vas..

‐ V‐vascular? ‐ Yes.

You're a vascular surgeon?

Yes.

Come on..

I have to board.

Board.

Oh, you have to, uh, you have to take the board exam.

[crying] Yes.

If I not operate, the man die.

But now when they find out

I will never board.

Wait a minute. You operated on somebody?

When they find out what I did..

Oh, Bob.

Did the patient die?

No.

Oh.

Well, then, they'll be grateful.

'Really?'

I'll help you with your English

for the board exam.

You would do it for me? That?

Uh‐huh. Yeah.

[wind whooshing]

[shivering]

[laughing]

[beeping]

(Malik) 'He's cyanotic as hell.'

Castro.

How did it go with Mrs. Ramos?

(Malik) 'Pulse ox is really bad.'

(Benton) 'Hemostat. Sixty.'

Check his cardiovascular, Doug.

[music on player]

What is that?

(Doug) 'Patrick turned it on.'

(Connie) 'His‐his pulse is down to 30.'

‐ 0.5 of atropine. ‐ Give me a Debakey.

Guy on the phone Mr. Blinker.

Says he's only going to talk to you, Dr. Greene.

Put him on the speaker.

(Mr. Blinker on phone) 'Dr. Greene?'

I'm here Mr. Blinker.

‐ 'She wants to push.' ‐ Okay.

Well, look between her legs and tell me what you see.

‐ 'Retract here.' ‐ Uh, b‐baby, baby hair.

‐ You ever delivered a baby? ‐ 'I'm a plumber.'

‐ 'It's coming.' ‐ Good stuff to good stuff.

Okay, we want to control the head. Alright?

'Now when the head is halfway out'

'tell your wife not to push'

and then gently ease the skin over it.

(Mr. Blinker) 'W‐what, the‐the‐the head?'

Yeah. Yeah. Like, uh, putting on a sweater.

'Well, the‐the head's out. Wait.'

‐ 'It's‐it's‐it's turning.' ‐ Retract here.

(Mark) 'Good, good. That's what it's supposed to do.'

Now, Mr. Blinker, gently pull down towards the floor.

(Hicks) Seven of proline.

(Mr. Blinker) 'Oh, my God.'

'Hey, it's‐it's a boy.'

Good. Good work.

Now place the baby on your wife's belly.

Get a shoelace and tie the cord.

Wrap them up in a blanket nice and warm and bring them in.

Okay.

Dr. Benton, your friend has

his tibial artery back.

[clapping]

(Morgenstern) 'Vascular team's here.'

(Benton) Alright, we've debrided, re‐anastomosed

the posterior tibial artery

and saphenous vein confirmed flow by Doppler.

Strong preliminary work. Let's get him unhooked. Ready to move.

Alright, Dex..

...I'll see you walking down King Drive.

Doug?

Are you okay?

About what?

About Mr. Ramos.

Everything.

Yes, I‐I'm glad you're happy.

Really.

Uh, I'm going to get my stuff and we can go, okay?

You got it, sweetie.

[sighs]

You know..

...Doug is a fabulous guy.

We have lots of fun, and he's cute.

He's great in bed.

Do you think there's one perfect love?

You know, like "Sleepless In Seattle?"

Somewhere under the stars

one perfect person for everybody?

I don't know. Why?

Because for Doug..

...it's you.

(male #1) 'Hey, who ordered these pizzas?'

‐ Pizza's here! ‐ 'Alright!'

Great job, folks.

Excellent. Very nice.

[indistinct chattering]

(male #2) 'Hey, hey, it's Dr. Bob!'

[all cheering]

(Mark) 'Oh, now what?'

‐ 'Alright, Patrick.' ‐ 'Alright, Patrick.'
