[indistinct chattering]

(Jerry) 'She loves me.'

She loves me not.

She loves me.

She loves me not.

I'm not a nurse in training

I'm a nurse in decorating.

Valentine's Day, can I help?

‐ Can't you just do it? ‐ Come on.

[phone ringing]

ER..

Carol, can you find Dr. Ross for Mrs. Hall?

Gotta get these to the desk.

‐ Sure. Mrs.. ‐ Hall.

Dr. Ross. He's the pediatrician.

Yeah, what seems to be the problem?

Tatiana is, uh, she's very sick.

Oh, you don't feel well?

She has a fever and a cough.

‐ She just doesn't seem right. ‐ Okay.

‐ Come right this way. ‐ Thank you.

Mark, it's 10 o'clock.

So?

So, you got in at 8:00 remember.

You weren't here overnight.

I was taking a nap.

Is anything wrong with taking a nap?

Certainly not.

Stomach ache in two.

Bounce back migraine in one.

Can I give them an ETA?

(Carol) Does that tickle?

Temperature's 100.

Does this hurt?

She doesn't speak much English.

She's Russian.

I adopted her in St. Petersburg ten days ago.

When did the fever start?

I'd waited nearly six months.

Finally, all her paper work was in order and..

Medical certificates..

She really seemed fine.

How long has she had the fever?

‐ Almost a week. ‐ 'Uh‐huh.'

‐ Start her on oral amoxicillin. ‐ 'Okay.'

She has some upper respiratory congestion and an ear infection

which is probably what's causing the fever.

Don't worry, Mrs. Hall, we'll take good care of her.

‐ Thank you, doctor. ‐ You're welcome.

Hi, Wendy, it's nice of you to volunteer to put those up.

‐ I didn't volunteer. ‐ Okay.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Oh, thanks, Lydia.

Oh, and here's another one for your stash.

‐ Thank you. ‐ Uh, hello.

Whoa‐hoa!

‐ Amy, Brooks. ‐ Hey.

Wendy, Patty. Who are these women?

‐ I don't even remember them. ‐ Oh, Carter, you're so cold.

No, I mean, I don't remember meeting them.

Please! Help! Quick!

I hit him. He dashed off the sidewalk chasing a ball.

‐ I tried to swerve the car. ‐ 'We've got an MVA.'

‐ Please! ‐ I'll page Benton.

‐ Please. ‐ Okay, go in here.

[siren wails]

(female #1) 'Alright, let's clear a trauma room.'

'Thirty nine year‐old male fell from a second‐story balcony..'

Watch yourself, ma'am.

Mrs. Hall.

Mrs. Hall, wait.

‐ Jerry. ‐ What?

Will you let me know when Mrs. Hall comes back in again.

‐ Sure. ‐ Thanks.

I tried to dodge him, you know.

‐ Scalp laceration. ‐ I can't hear a thing.

She just came out of nowhere.

(Carter) She's got a fracture to the left front radius.

Where do you want the IV?

‐ Please help him. ‐ Okay, doc?

(Peter) 'Alright, give me the bullet.'

‐ Car versus canine. Possible‐‐ ‐ Car versus canine?

Got a fractured left front leg or maybe it's radius‐ulna.

(Carter) 'Nobody's quite sure how to take the BP.'

A dog. You called me down here for a dog.

We called a vet's office. They're sending someone over.

So what do we do now?

I think, I'll name him Bill.

What are you, crazy?

You don't like the name Bill?

Yeah, well, you can call him whatever you want to

but you better do it fast

'cause little Bill here stopped breathing.

[theme music]

[music continues]

He's one of God's creatures. For God's sake.

‐ I'm not a vet, Grabarsky. ‐ Man, you could try.

No, I'll be upstairs trying to take a gallbladder

out of a Homo sapien.

(Al) Did I miss anything?

You were only gone ten seconds.

Poor little guy. No collar, no tag.

He must be a lost or a stray.

Instead of pig lab.

Digestive system, abdomen, whoa.

‐ Look at that spleen. ‐ Wow!

Could we hurry this up, please?

(Lydia) 'IV goes in what vein?'

(Mark) Try the, try the large one.

Then give him some saline.

Somebody find out where the hell the vet is.

Okay, here it is, intubation.

(Susan) 'It's just like with a human, except when you push back'

the tongue, you can see the vocal cords.

Alright.

‐ Get an ambu bag. ‐ Thank you, Carter.

(Mark) 'Let's intubate.'

Pneumothorax right there.

‐ A what? ‐ Collapsed lung.

Oh, my God.

Lydia, could you get a 20‐gauge needle

on a 60cc syringe with a three‐way stopcock.

Which intercostal is it?

Ah, try the eighth just below the heart.

'Alright.'

‐ Hold that. ‐ 'Yeah.'

Bill lives.

(Susan) 'Alright, all we have to do is sew up the lac'

and, uh, get a cast on him and he'll be, uh

chasing squirrels by the afternoon.

Well, Carter, Chen, I think you can take it from here.

Somebody call housekeeping.

Tell them to get a hose.

No problem.

That was pretty cool the way you gave it mouth‐to‐mouth.

Yeah? Thank you.

You know, they say the dog's mouth

is the cleanest part of its body.

What do they say about its nose?

(Carol) 'So, she said nothing during the exam?'

‐ Nothing. ‐ I don't get it.

She brings in the little girl, then disappears.

She leaves a fake phone number.

‐ Why would somebody do that? ‐ I have no idea.

How could somebody do that?

But we don't know the whole story.

We know we can't reach her anywhere.

You know what, I'm gonna move Tatiana out to curtain two

so she doesn't feel so alone back here.

Then I guess I'll have to call

children and family services.

‐ Thanks, Haleh. ‐ Sure.

Well, that wasn't so bad, was it?

Tatiana.

[speaking in foreign language]

My mother's Russian.

(Doug) 'How do you say hello?'

[speaking in foreign language]

Uh, I'm Dr. Ross.

I'm Doug.

I'm, you know, I'm Doug.

Okay.

So you do speak a little English?

Okay.

‐ Uh.. ‐ Okay.

So you don't.

You just stay right here

and we're going to take care of you.

[speaking in foreign language]

Oh, um..

[speaking in foreign language]

...Carol.

That was normal.

‐ What do you mean? ‐ It's Valentine's Day.

It's like full moons all the crazies come out.

‐ Ow. ‐ What's wrong with your neck?

I slept on the sofa last night.

Ooh, sorry I asked.

You wanna tell me about it?

Well, it's, uh, it's about five feet long.

It's got little blue flowers on it

and there's a spectacular stain

on the right cushion, where Rachel

did some projectile vomiting.

Mark, still waiting on that

stomach ache and migraine.

I am going to go get something to eat.

I'm loving this semi‐foul mood of yours.

Yeah. Well, imagine if we'd lost the dog.

‐ See you. ‐ 'Bye.'

‐ Doug. ‐ "Do not steal. Benton ."

Is there anything good to eat in there?

Think Susan really wants this yogurt?

No.

So you and Jen valentining tonight?

She left for Milwaukee this morning.

‐ You? ‐ No, no, no, never.

I always work the night shift on Valentine's Day

to avoid any possible dating conflicts.

Hmm, that sounds mature.

Believe me, I learned the hard way.

Dr. Ross, an ambulance

is bringing a 17‐year‐old in crushed legs.

Some kind of train accident.

Dr. Benton said to get you.

Thank you, Wendy.

Can you believe I said thank you?

Thank you, Wendy, for letting me know

I get to work on some kid

whose legs have just been pureed. Weird.

Ah, I thought you'd like some company.

[speaking in foreign language]

Is that okay?

We had to clear the trauma room anyway.

Thanks.

[speaking in foreign language]

‐ Bill? ‐ Bill.

Carol, I could use you in curtain area three.

Okay.

You know how Mark always says

Valentine's Day is like the full moon

all the nutcases come out.

I never really thought about it.

Cheerleaders.

(Carol) 'Cheerleaders?'

On acid.

Sounds like Mark was right.

‐ Okay, are you Kirk Driscoll? ‐ Sure.

I'm Dr. Lewis. This is Nurse Hathaway.

All three of these girls ingested LSD?

‐ Yeah. ‐ It's not funny, Kirk.

Are you sure it was straight LSD not mixed with anything else?

Oh, yeah. I got them right here if you want to check.

You laced chocolates?

‐ Pretty stupid, huh? ‐ Huh.

I only let them eat two each.

You know, they could have had a seizure

kidney damage, got into a coma.

We're gonna have to keep them here for a while

make sure there's no dangerous side effects.

You don't have to tell the cops or anything, do you?

Yeah, we do, and better yet, we get to tell your parents.

(Doug) 'Any Valentine's Day plans?'

(Peter) Nope.

‐ No big date or anything? ‐ Nope.

So, what was that about?

The, you know, the flowers and the chocolates

in the fridge? What's that all about?

‐ Oh, that? ‐ Yeah, that. What's that about?

I met this pediatrician.

[siren wailing]

You what? You what?

(Doug) 'Wait! Hey, Peter.'

'What?'

What do you got?

Michael Clifford, 17 years old.

He lost a dare with a freight train.

Leg and head injuries, hypotensive, 80/60.

Fluid resuscitated 2000cc's.

Brought the pressure up to a 100.

Blood loss around three to four units.

(Doug) 'Someone get on the horn with OR.'

‐ 'Hang ten liters saline.' ‐ Pulse 130, pulse ox 82.

Start him on some Ancef, one gram, IV push.

BP's dropped. 80/40.

(Doug) 'Where the hell's that O negative?'

‐ It's coming. ‐ Another blood Y‐tubing.

Popliteal.

No dorsalis pedis on the left.

Let's get an angiogram.

Ow! God! He's got my hand.

‐ Don't leave him. ‐ He's seizing!

(Peter) 'He's seizing, guys.'

(Wendy) 'He's grabbing!'

Calm down.

(Doug) 'He's breaking her hand. He's breaking her hand.'

Grab a bite block.

No, he's crushing it!

Ten migs of Valium. IV push.

No! Get him off!

Bounce back migraine in six.

I already saw him.

No. You saw the one in one.

This is the one in six.

Don't you guys work?

[grunts]

‐ Oh, want one? ‐ No, thanks.

‐ Hello. ‐ Hi.

You thought I was in a bad mood?

What?

‐ Oh, my God. ‐ I got to go.

‐ No. Don't you dare.. ‐ Excuse me.

‐ Dr. Lewis. ‐ Dr. Kayson.

Will you be mine?

Excuse me?

Happy Valentine's Day.

‐ Still a 100. ‐ McGillis is here.

I'll be right back, okay?

Carol, how long is sparky going to be with us?

Till Grabarsky gets off duty tonight.

One of God's creatures.

‐ Hmm. ‐ Hmm.

[speaking in foreign language]

(Carter) 'Hey, Deb.'

Deb, you alright?

What?

I said are you okay?

Yeah, sure.

Very okay.

She left over four hours ago.

Does that constitute abandonment?

‐ It does in my book. ‐ Merits an investigation.

She dumps a child, who's six. Speaks no English.

‐ Has no clue what's going on. ‐ Carol, it's okay.

Listen, Tatiana needs to stay here

at least 24 hours, maybe longer

if she doesn't get any better.

And what happens when she does?

Assuming mom's still out of the picture

children and family services will find her a foster home.

Well, there's nothing else we can do.

I have a lot of work to do.

I'm being released today.

You've made a remarkable recovery.

Oh, I couldn't have done it without you, Susan.

May I call you Susan?

Uh, sure.

So you said there was something you needed to talk to me about.

Every cardiologist ought to go through what I went through.

Lying on that gurney, not knowing whether you're gonna

live or die, and seeing the face

of this lovely young resident, hovering over you.

Well, I can understand how

it must have been very scary for you.

'Oh, sure. It was terrifying at first'

'but then, exhilarating.'

And now I've got a whole new perspective on life..

...my own and my patients.

That's terrific.

I, uh, I really should get back.

'Have you thought about cardiology, Susan?'

Uh, well‐‐

'Because I think you'd be an excellent candidate.'

And I'd like to help you, be a, a mentor of sorts.

Thank you, Dr. Kayson, but‐‐

No, please, call me Jack.

I'm still doing my ER residency.

I think I should just stick with that for now.

I think we should talk more about this some other time.

Yeah, sure, that'd be fine.

Tonight, 8 o'clock?

Dinner?

How's the pain?

(Wendy) 'I had a fifth of Demerol.'

You mean 50 milligrams of Demerol?

‐ Yeah. ‐ Yeah.

Nice to see that it's working.

Can you wiggle these fingers for me?

[groans]

I should stick with decorating.

Yeah, this guy crushed your hand pretty good.

You got three metacarpal fractures.

But I think you'll survive.

I'll get somebody to put a cast on.

‐ How's the boy? ‐ Boy?

The one who squeezed me.

Got hit by that train.

He died, up in OR.

Ah, Dr. Greene

dueling meat‐packers coming in

about five minutes away.

‐ Carol. ‐ What?

‐ Whoa. ‐ Sorry.

Are we not loving our job today?

I am not loving the limits of my job today

watching that little girl sitting out there

completely abandoned. Nothing we can do.

Maybe, you need a change of pace.

How about a nice, greasy trauma?

Sunny‐side up or over easy?

I think, I can offer you both.

Okay, but, how long do I have to wait?

That's the beauty of it.

You don't.

(Mark) 'Happy Valentine's Day, Doris.'

Likewise, Dr. Greene.

Meet Nr. Lorenzo Renzetti, 45

sturdy, aluminum meat hook firmly imbedded

in his upper left bicep.

How's that feel, Mr. Renzetti?

Call me Lorenzo. I don't know, it's not so bad.

Yeah, well, that's good, 'cause it sure looks bad.

Started one IV. BP is 140/90, pulse 96, resps 16.

Good distal pulses, normal cap refill

defensive lacerations on both arms.

(Peter) 'Mr. Renzetti we're going to take care of you.'

Alright, people, we got to move him.

‐ Alright, on my count. One‐‐ ‐ Watch your back.

Uh, on second thought

why don't you just scoot over?

(Carol) 'Don't let the gurney roll.'

‐ I can do that. ‐ Okay.

Good. I got you.

Dorris, I thought you said this was a twofer.

Second guy, second unit. I drove circles around him.

(Peter) 'Alright. Let's hang some Ancef.'

One gram IV piggyback

and let's update Lorenzo's tetanus, please.

Okay, I'll start a chart.

I already had that. Took the wife to the Caribbean last year.

‐ Oh yeah, how was it? ‐ It was alright.

It rained a lot.

(Carol) 'You want a chest film plus humerus film?'

Yep.

Call radiology and get a portable!

Okay, Lorenzo, Lorenzo, just lay down, okay? Take‐take it easy.

I thought Paulie would be here already.

They should have bought him here first.

Who's Paulie? You feel this?

Sure. Paulie's my stupid kid. He made a crack about his mother.

‐ 'I told him to shut up.' ‐ Move your fingers.

I didn't wanna fight him but he kept comin' at me.

Now your thumb. Now your wrist.

He kept jabbing me this way, that way.

You know, you shouldn't disrespect your mother.

‐ Alright. ‐ Where is the son of a bitch?

I'm sure he's on his way, Mr. Renzetti.

He'd better be, 'cause I'm telling you

he's in worse shape than I am.

Okay, listen, we're gonna take you upstairs

'and take this out in surgery.'

(Lorenzo) 'There he is! There he is. Paulie!'

Hey, Paulie. Paulie, I'm over here, son. Your dad's over here.

'Paulie! Hey, Paulie!'

Hey, Paulie, you okay?

‐ Son? ‐ Carol, come with me.

(Lorenzo) 'Paulie, you alright?'

Alright, CBC!

(female #2) 'Hold him down!'

Paulie, I'm right here, son.

I'm right here.

(Lorenzo) 'Damn it! Is he alright?'

‐ 'Two hundred.' ‐ 'Charging.'

(Mark) 'Clear!'

(Lorenzo) Paulie. Dad's over here, son, you okay?

‐ Three hundred. ‐ Charging!

Hey, is he okay?

‐ 'Clear.' ‐ 'He's okay, right?'

‐ Damn it. 360! ‐ Charging.

Hey, Paulie!

[Tatiana sobbing]

Paulie!

He needs more volume.

Give me the tray.

[speaking in foreign language]

[machine beeping]

It's okay.

[Tatiana sobbing]

It's gonna be okay.

You'll be fine.

[indistinct chattering]

(Doug) 'Exam two. Okay?'

‐ 'Here we go.' ‐ 'This way, you guys.'

(Doug) 'There you go. Alright.'

'We'll be with you in just a second.'

Come on. You have to admit, they're pretty cute.

They have been spray painted

which has given them hives.

Children with hives are not cute.

So, Peter, about the flower and candy

in the refrigerator.

Mm‐hmm?

Are you going to make me guess

who they're for?

‐ They're for my mother. ‐ Mm‐hmm.

[Doug chuckles]

‐ Really. ‐ Oh, yeah!

[chuckling]

Oh, um, excuse me.

Where is exam room one?

[speaking in foreign language]

‐ Thanks for moving her. ‐ Oh, sure.

She insisted on bringing Bill.

Oh.

[speaking in foreign language]

Hello and goodbye, that and about ten other words

is the extent of my Russian.

(Carol) 'They're kind of perfect together.'

No idea where they are or what they're doing.

Neither one of them seem to mind.

Yeah, except the dog gets to go home with Grabarsky in it.

Maybe her mom will come back.

I don't think "mom" is the right word.

‐ Carter? ‐ Yeah?

Dr. Ross needs you to help with some kids.

‐ Exam two. ‐ Okay.

Hey, how do you say goodbye?

Dosvedanya.

Dospen...nanya, Tatiana.

Okay.

[dog whimpering]

[indistinct chattering]

Carter, tell Dr. Ross I need him now.

Okay.

[chuckling]

Hey, Deb.

Are you Wendy Goldman?

Yes...Deb.

[sighs]

Yeah, I'm Deborah Chen.

I know that.

I had the hardest time finding you.

Um...I'm gonna be doing your cast.

How long was he in the hot tub?

‐ Half hour.. ‐ Forty minutes. Maybe more.

‐ Any wine? ‐ Champagne.

‐ How much? ‐ A little.

‐ More than a little. ‐ A couple of bottles.

It's valentine's Day.

Eddie wanted something special.

‐ He got light headed. ‐ Got nauseous.

‐ Then he threw up. ‐ It was horrible.

Then he sank like a weight.

‐ We went under. ‐ Both of us pulled him out.

Got him on the steps, ran into the house.

‐ Called 911. ‐ Called 911.

‐ You did the right thing. ‐ Good.

‐ We'll take it from here. ‐ Alright,

We're gonna take his temperature now.

‐ Okay. ‐ Okay.

Rectally.

You might want to wait outside.

We'll be right back, okay?

You still think it's upper respiratory?

Well, now that she's hydrated, I heard rales.

Could be pneumonia or some other foreign virus

that we know nothing about.

Fever spiked up to a 104.

I'm gonna put a rush on that x‐ray.

Did you give her acetaminophen?

Yeah, 15 per kilo.

God, all the times my mother tried to teach me Russian.

What about the times your mother yelled at me in Russian.

‐ Ha ha, you deserved it. ‐ Aye.

Dr. B, Mrs. Hayden, 85, fell and cut her arm.

She's in the suture room and she's a tad senile.

Alright. Give it to Carter.

Uh, he's busy taking care

of six small, red children.

Alright. Well, where's the other one?

‐ Deb Chen? ‐ Yeah, huh.

Doing a cast.

[sighs] Alright. Have her wait.

‐ I have to go to radiology. ‐ 'Is Dr. Ross here?'

Ah, what's wrong?

I'm Jake Leeds.

I need to talk to Dr. Ross.

Uh, look, he's very busy right now.

I can find someone else..

(Doug) 'Jake, hey'

(Doug) What's wrong?

My side and my stomach

it really hurts.

Okay, we're gonna take him to curtain two.

Do me a favor. Call his mom, Diane Leeds.

‐ She's up in risk management. ‐ Sure, Dr. Ross.

‐ Carol? ‐ 'Yeah.'

Come on, buddy.

Alright, what's wrong?

Where's it hurt? Here we go.

[groans]

‐ It started here in my stomach. ‐ Mm‐hmm.

Now it feels like it's over here.

Mm‐hmm.

‐ Alright, like this? ‐ Yeah. There.

‐ It hurts there. ‐ Mm‐hmm.

Any vomiting or nausea?

Uh‐huh.

‐ Right after gym. ‐ Temp's normal.

Okay, let's get a CBC urinalysis

and set him up for an ultrasound.

Okay.

Alright, Jake, hang tight.

We're going to check you out, okay?

(female #3) 'Core temp's 103.'

(Mark) 'Where are we gonna put him?'

(Haleh) Admitting him. Straight upstairs.

Haleh, could you tell those two hookers

that their friend Ed is doing just fine?

I think they'd rather talk to a doctor.

Oh, could you tell 'em I'll meet 'em

in the waiting room?

Ah, so, what was that with Kayson?

What? Oh.

Uh, you know, he just wanted to tell me that he was fine.

Thank me, you know?

Oh, nice try. I saw the bouquet.

Oh, God.

Did anyone else?

It was so embarrassing.

[chuckles] It's alright. He just gave you flowers.

It's not like he asked you out or anything.

‐ He asked you out? ‐ Dinner, tonight.

What did you say?

I said..

Oh, uh, Mark, chopper on the way.

Some woman choked on her valentine's dinner.

Okay.

I said, no. I couldn't that I was doing something with you.

‐ Oh, you dragged me into it? ‐ Mark, he's married.

Yeah? Well, so am I.

You're looking better, Jake.

Are you feeling better?

Uh, no.

Uh‐huh.

Dr. Ross tells me that you're a very good basketball player.

Yes, I am.

I'm probably better than he is, except he's older.

[Carol chuckles]

‐ Is he divorced? ‐ What?

My mom says divorced people have baggage.

Oh. Well, he isn't divorced.

Then he doesn't have baggage.

Well, I wouldn't say that, exactly.

He's faking.

How can you know that?

Because he has that moany quality

in his voice like when he wants to stay home

from school, to avoid a test.

Could be appendicitis, which‐‐

Dr. Ross, he's done this before.

Faked illness?

No, tried to set me up

with single men.

What?

He likes you.

I'm his mother and he's stuck with me.

'He thinks if he can get'

us to spend a little time together

then we will naturally, you know..

Well that's, um..

Obviously ridiculous.

Obviously..

Um...and he‐he's done this before?

Oh, yeah.

I've been through five or six departments

in this hospital alone

not to mention hardware stores.

Jake feels that I should either be with a doctor

or a man who knows his way around nuts and bolts.

Mm. So, how do you suggest we handle this?

Let's cut him open.

Mm.

The kid's faking it.

Dr. Ross, test result's are back

on that little Russian girl.

Okay.

Oh, man.

Her white count's at 2,000.

You mean 20,000.

No, two.

And she has pneumonia.

She's got AIDS.

[instrumental music]

Mrs. Hayden?

Mrs. Hayden?

Uh, yes?

Uh, how did you get in here?

There, uh...there is no starch.

No, no.

You know what?

We're out of starch.

But I need it for Joe's uniform.

Okay. Just sit right here.

Uh, you know what?

I'm going to..

I'm gonna have to take a look at this arm, okay?

Uh‐huh.

Now..

...I don't suppose you remember

if you're allergic to lidocaine or novocaine?

Some of the wives don't bother.

Okay. Well, we're just going to have to jump in here.

Joe likes his uniform and his collar crisp.

Mm‐hmm.

Would, uh, would you like me to, uh, iron your uniform?

Yeah.

‐ Yeah. ‐ Alright.

That'd be great.

Just don't understand how that woman could do that.

It doesn't matter.

It sure as hell does to Tatiana.

The situation is what it is. We'll do what we can.

Yeah? Well, it isn't much.

I mean, we give her some antibiotics

we bring down her fever and we kick her out?

‐ Children and family services‐‐ ‐ She's got AIDS, Doug.

She doesn't even speak the language.

That barely makes her a good candidate

for being a foster child.

That's right. So, what do you suggest that we do?

Anything else.

There isn't anything else.

I know.

You know, these patients come in here

for an hour, maybe two, maybe a day.

We treat them as fast as we can.

We barely learn their names

and then we send them home.

Which is usually what they want.

Yeah. Well, they usually have a home to go to.

Uh, Dr. Ross, you still got those chicken pox in three.

Fine, Jerry.

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

I'm sorry that the person who was

with you yesterday isn't here today.

And I'm sorry that none of us will be with you tomorrow.

[sobbing] And I'm...I'm glad you can't understand

what's happening to you.

[sighs]

Neither can I.

[bell dings]

Malik, move these hearts.

Let's go! Let's go! We're going to trauma two.

‐ What have you got? ‐ Anaphylaxis.

She's allergic, my wife.

You know, to shrimp and scallops

and all that stuff.

Susan, this is Mr. Goodwin.

Mr. Goodwin, this is Dr. Lewis.

(Goodwin) We didn't know. I mean, we didn't order it.

It must have been an appetizer.

Okay, we're gonna take care of your wife, Mr. Goodwin.

You need to wait outside.

It happened once before at a wedding reception

and her throat swelled up, but nothing like this.

One, two, three.

Well, Lydia, show Mr. Goodwin where he can wait.

Come on, Mr. Goodwin.

Upper airway obstruction with stridor.

‐ You got the hypo O2? ‐ Yeah.

(Susan) She's hypotensive.

‐ BP's 45 palp. ‐ I'll intubate.

Haleh, get a 6.5 and prep for a crike just in case.

Epi, one to 10,000, two cc's IV push.

Pipe down throat now.

Oh, man, this is hopeless.

Throat's completely swollen.

(Susan) Let's crike her.

Grab a trach tube.

Benadryl IV, 50 milligrams

and cimetidine IV, 300 milligrams.

Okay.

(Susan) Alright.

[machine beeping]

(Susan) Pressure's stabilizing, 100/80.

'Pulse ox 96. It's peaking up.'

‐ Nice. ‐ Thank you.

Alright, let's start an epi drip

one milligram in 250 at 10 mics per minute.

Keep her on antihistamines until the swelling comes down.

[woman retching] Oh, God, oh, God.

Mark, Susan, Get over here.

(Susan) 'What the hell happened? She was just stable.'

Lydia, get her husband in here, now.

(Haleh) 'Pressure's crashing.'

We got to scope her.

(Susan) 'Okay.'

Did I perforate the esophagus?

No, you couldn't have.

‐ What did I do wrong? ‐ 'Nothing.'

(Mark) 'Get a CBC'

'Type and cross six units.'

'Lytes, LFT's, amylase.'

Oh, my God!

What happened? What happened?

Lydia, call for o‐neg.

Mr. Goodman, has your wife been vomiting recently?

‐ No. ‐ 'Any history of ulcers? .'

(Goodman) 'No. No.'

She has bleeding varices. SB Tube.

Varices? What the hell is this?

Mr. Goodwin, is your wife an alcoholic?

Is she?

Yes.

Alright, get the catcher's mask.

‐ Oh, right here. ‐ Roll her over.

Okay, inflate the balloon to 200cc's.

It's in the stomach.

Okay, inflate the esophageal balloon to 40 millimeters.

[machine beeping rapidly]

It's stopped.

Great pickup, Susan.

Okay.

Well, her fever's back down to 100.

You're feeling better, aren't you?

Jerry, will you keep an eye on her for me?

‐ Sure. ‐ Thanks.

I should have gone into real estate.

That bad, huh?

‐ I got off two hours ago. ‐ Oh, I know. Me too.

‐ Carol, can I borrow a pen? ‐ Yeah.

But we gotta do something, right?

You don't want Kayson to think that you're a liar.

Carol, you wanna come?

Oh, thanks, but I'm on tonight.

Well, sorry.

Bye.

She's very ill.

I know.

You can't take her home tonight.

I know.

After this morning, I'm not sure

you'll ever be able to take her home.

I don't want to.

Mrs. Hayden?

Mrs. Hayden?

I guess you found the starch, huh?

When I found out that I could adopt Tatiana

I bought a Russian‐English dictionary.

Never got much beyond "Hello" and "Goodbye."

Mrs. Hall‐‐

Can you imagine anything worse..

...than abandoning a child with AIDS?

No.

She was diagnosed last Thursday at St. John's.

Look, Mrs. Hall, or whatever your name is..

...I'm not exactly sure why you're here

but I'm not all that interested

in listening to you say how sorry you are.

[weeping] My husband died three years ago.

It was...long and slow.

(Hall) 'You know, I was young.'

'You get through, you go on.'

I never really felt that loss until last week.

I never allowed myself to feel it until I..

'...I looked at Tatiana..'

...and I said..

"There it is."

I cannot..

I will not let myself get that close to someone

and lose them again.

I brought her things.

[instrumental music]

I forgot how to say goodbye.

Dosvedanya.

Ma.

[water gurgling]

(woman on TV) 'Just a little neck sugar.'

'I don't know where it came from..'

Ma!

Ma.

Ma.

[sighs]

Happy Valentine's Day.

[train chugging]

(Susan) This is fun?

(Mark) This is fun.

It's 20 degrees out.

Okay, this is fun.

Did I tell you that Morgenstern

offered me a job as attending next year?

What? No, you didn't tell me.

Oh, that's right. It was last week.

You weren't talking to me then.

So? You were talking to me.

What'd you tell him?

That I had to think about it.

Oh, please.

Well, you know, I mean, there's Jennifer to consider

which I didn't.

What'd she say?

What do you think she said?

That "I'm happy for you, Mark

because I know this is what you really want?"

The "This is what you really want" part...that's right.

‐ Sounds bad. ‐ It was.

So? What are you gonna do?

I...am going to skate.

[chuckling]

(Mark) Help! I need a doctor!

(Susan) 'Is there a doctor?'

[Carter laughing]

(Carter) I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Wendy.

I understand that she did it perfectly on the dog.

[laughing]

(Carter) 'We'll fix it tomorrow.'

(Deb) 'I think I'm going to stay home tomorrow.'

(Jerry) 'Hang in there.'
