Good, good, good, you know,
it's not every day we have

the Deputy Comptroller

of the City of New York in our midst, so.

We wish to speak with you
about the lead contamination

in the local neighborhood.

Yes, you see, Nathan,
the Cross Bronx Expressway

was built before 1972.

I don't know if you're aware of that.

And this is the part
that's just bananas to me.

Back then, the city
only used lead-based paints.

The city is fully aware
of that fact, Dr. Frome.

Oh, are they?

Yeah, my office is actively
engaged in replacing

all lead-based paints on public
works with safer alternatives.

Yeah, for which the city
is eternally grateful,

but if your workers had done so properly,

we wouldn't be here treating them.

Yeah.

You see, Nathan, when the city workers

were sandblasting the lead-based
paint off that overpass,

they must not
have sealed the blast zones.

Toxic airborne particles
managed to pollute

the entire neighborhood,

every yard over a six-block stretch.

So it appears your office
has a huge cleanup job

on your hands,
and a temporary housing crisis.

You're probably gonna expect to cough up

a pretty hefty settlement on this one.

That lead could've come from anywhere.

Occupational exposure, food,
structures in the neighborhood,

they were all built before 1972.

for this mess.

you said to Molly Richards.

Why? Has something happened?

She checked out of the hospital

after 16 months of working
tirelessly on her behalf.

Where did she go?

What did you say to my patient?

Okay, first of all, Valentina,

she's not your patient.

She is our patient.

There are no sides in this department.

But yes, I did speak with her.

Of course, you did.

And I told her
that I thought you were doing

an extraordinary job,

but if her pain had become too great,

I knew that you
would understand if she chose

not to continue treatment,
because has a physician,

there is no way
that you would put a drug trial

or scientific discovery ahead
of the needs of your patient.

And I am certain
that she appreciated that.

Next time one
of our patients has an issue,

I promise be equally supportive of you.

Halloween, obviously.

I love the wings.

Oh, my God. [LAUGHS]

I don't even know what's happening here.

They just grow up so fast.

I been through so many albums.

My battery's dying.

I don't think I'm gonna find anything.

May I?

I think you just did.

Dr. Kapoor?

This looks like proof to me.

Oh, hey, Andy.

Where's Ligon?

Dr. Ligon's on vacation.

Are you serious?

I thought he went down
to the ED to tell you.

Would you like to see Dr. Parsons?

She's also a miracle worker.

No.

Thank you.

Of course not.

Because I am not sure if I'm keeping it.

You wanted to see me?

This is my OR.

Everything I do here is for a reason.

It works for me.

Now out there on the floor is
a loving, peaceful democracy,

but in there,
it's full-blown dictatorship.

You got it?

- Understood.
- I didn't say you can go.

Run down the McCarthy technique.

Top to bottom.

Yes, sir.

You start by opening the IV apex

at least 1.5cm from the LAD.

Then, using a purse string suture,

you pull together the damaged
left ventricular wall.

- Hi.
- We need to talk right now.

I see you heard about
our plan to sue the city

over lead contamination.

What? No.

What?

Oh, then, never mind.

I'm here because I heard
about your little plan

with the barber.

Oh, yeah. Pretty cool, right?

- No, no, not cool.
- Not cool?

No, I'm just training
a barber at Kenny's Kuts

to check his customer's blood pressure.

- That's it?
- Yeah.

Mostly. Here me out.

Kenny sees people once a week in
a relaxed and trusted environment.

You couldn't ask for a better
monitoring situation,

and if anyone exceeds
140/90 for over four weeks...

The barber is diagnosing hypertension

and dispensing prescription meds?

With my oversight.

What oversight? You're not there.

You're here.

Kenny has a detailed checklist to follow.

So do Legos, but no one's
life depends on them.

I mean, what if mistakes are made?

There's a built-in system
of checks and balances

that I'll be carefully supervising,

and, sure, there's some risk,

but Kenny and the others
will be saving lives.

- Just imagine...
- Wait, wait, stop.

What others? You said others?

Yeah. So far I've enlisted
seven barber shops,

and I'm trying for more.

Max, what you're doing is decentralizing

and de-professionalizing healthcare.

Exactly.

There's no reason that healthcare

has to be delivered in a hospital.

In fact, patients are best
served in an environment

where they're made comfortable

by trusted members
of their own community.

Hospitals have to go
meet patients where they live,

not the other way around.

So in your idealized world,

there are zero patients at New Amsterdam?

Ideally.

Yeah.
