PREVIOUSLY ON E.R.:

SON OF A BITCH!

I CAN BE A COMPETENT SURGEON.

I CAN LEARN THE TECHNIQUES,
THE MECHANICS...

BUT I'LL NEVER BE
A GREAT SURGEON.

I WON'T WRITE YOU
THAT PERCODAN
PRESCRIPTION.

YOU'VE GOT TO
GET SOME HELP.

I'M FINE.

YOUR BABY WAS DEPRIVED
OF OXYGEN IN THE WOMB.

THERE'S THE POSSIBILITY

THAT THERE COULD
BE BRAIN DAMAGE.

BACK OFF!

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

THINK WE CAN GET THIS
IN ONE NIGHT?

WE HAVE TO.

CHANGE OUT THE BATTERIES
IN THOSE LAVALIERS.

HE'S GETTING MORE NINE-VOLTS
OFF THE TRUCK.

IT'S GOT THE SMELL, HUH?

WHITE-BALANCE THAT.

TONY ALREADY DID.

AND HE LAID DOWN
BARS AND TONES.

HOW COME HOSPITALS
HAVE THIS SMELL?

PORK BUNS?
WHO WENT FOR FOOD?

I BROUGHT IT MYSELF.

THANKS A HELL OF A LOT.

CAMERA MOUNT IN THE TRAUMA
ROOM'S KEYSTONING.

HASN'T BEEN LEVELED YET.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
LET'S GET READY TO SHOOT.

EVERYBODY ON THE SAME PAGE?

YOU WORRIED ABOUT THAT IRIS?

NO, IT'S WORKING FINE.

HEY, HEY! THOSE TAPES
ARE NUMBERED!

STUART AND I WILL STICK
WITH THE DOCTOR.

LUIS AND ROB, FOLLOW OUR LEAD.

THIS IS STILL BREAKING UP.

REMEMBER OUR DEADLINE.

WE DON'T GET A SECOND CHANCE
HERE.

I HATE HOSPITALS.

IS DR. GREENE HERE YET?

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

WE'LL CATCH UP.
ARE YOU SET IN THE LOUNGE?

JUST NEED TAPES.

WHERE WE WANT
THE BATTERY CHARGER?

IT'S PLUGGED IN
IN THE X-RAY ROOM.

TRIM R.F.6,
IT'S TOO HOT.

Hathaway:
WHAT IS THAT?

OH, YOU KNOW,
IT'S BACK-UP FOOTAGE--

WORKPLACE STUFF.

CUBBIES STILL LOSING?

I DON'T KNOW.

I HAVEN'T BEEN WATCHING.

WE PUT UP STATIONARY CAMERAS,
ONE AT YOUR MAIN DESK

ONE IN THAT YELLOW
OPERATING ROOM.

TRAUMA ONE?

YEAH, HIGH-TRAFFIC AREAS.

GET SOME WIDE ANGLES TO CUT WITH
WHAT THE HAND-HELD GUYS SHOOT

FOR PACE, VARIETY, YOU KNOW.

RIGHT.

AND WE JUST LEAVE THEM RUNNING.
GET WHAT WE GET.

IT'S ON?

AH, BY THE END OF THE DAY

YOU'LL FORGET
WE'RE HERE.

SEE YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

OH!

Announcer:
...in 1983 and again
in 1986.

Philadelphia in '83,
the New York Mets in '86.

We'll see another one
right here.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO START
WITH HIM COMING ON SHIFT.

TOO LATE.

HE'S ALREADY IN TRAUMA.

CAREFUL!

HE'S THE ONE
WITH THE LITTLE GLASSES.

I REMEMBER.

...OPEN FRACTURE, DISTAL TIBIA.

WE GAVE FOUR GRAMS OF MORPHINE
IN THE FIELD.

HOW BAD
DID THE GOALPOST LOOK?

HEY, I SCORED.

NURSE MARQUEZ,
LET'S ORDER PRE-OP LABS--

C.B.C., TYPE AND SCREEN, AND
LEFT LOWER EXTREMITY FILMS.

ANCEF?

ONE GRAM I.V. PIGGYBACK
AND 100 OF GENTAMICIN.

I REALLY BROKE IT, HUH?

YOU WON'T BE PLAYING VARSITY
THIS FALL.

VARSITY?
I'M 24 YEARS OLD.

GUESS I DON'T NEED
A PEDIATRICIAN.

MAN, YOU ARE GOING
TO GET CARDED UNTIL YOU'RE 40.

WOULD YOU MIND STAYING
FOR A MOMENT?

YOU NEED ME?

I JUST WANT TO GET

DR. GREENE DISCUSSING
THE ORDERS.

AH, YOU NEED
THE BACK OF MY HEAD.

UH, DR. GREENE,
HOW'S THAT PULSE?

DISTAL PULSES ARE
TWO PLUS AND EQUAL.

NO ARTERIAL INJURY.

GOOD EVENING.

DR. CARTER,
YOU'RE EARLY.

OPEN FRACTURE?

YUP.
NEED ME?

YES, I'M SICK
OF ASSISTING
DR. WELBY HERE.

WHO?

WHY DON'T YOU
FINISH THE HISTORY?

DO YOU HAVE PAIN ANYWHERE
BESIDES YOUR LEG, MR. CHANG?

JUSTIN.
I KIND OF JAMMED MY STOMACH.

HAVE YOU GOT
ANY ALLERGIES?

JUST HAY FEVER.

ANYTHING FOR ME?

OH, THIS IS TODAY?

PLEASE DON'T LOOK INTO THE LENS.

YEAH, RIGHT.

POSSIBLE SURGICAL...

YOU'RE STILL HERE?

YEP. 36 HOURS.

WE'RE SHORT A SURGEON.

ALL RIGHT,
BELLY'S BENIGN.

CALL ORTHO.

HOW'S IT GOING?

IS HE PISSED OFF
ABOUT LOSING YOU?

WE HAVEN'T TALKED.

WHEN WAS YOUR
LAST MEAL?

I ATE LUNCH AROUND 1:00.

CIMETIDINE,
300 MILLIGRAMS I.V.

YOU GOT IT.

THAT WILL CUT DOWN
ON THE ACIDITY

IN YOUR STOMACH.

IF YOU VOMIT IN THE O.R.

YOU COULD ASPIRATE
YOUR STOMACH CONTENTS

INTO YOUR LUNGS AND
DEVELOP PNEUMONIA.

THAT'S PROBABLY MORE
THAN MR. CHANG NEEDED TO HEAR.

WHOA, WHOA.
WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.

SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

ONE OF THE DOCS SAYS SHE WASN'T
INFORMED ABOUT OUR SHOOT.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

STUART,
ARE YOU OKAY?

UH-HUH.

DR. CARTER, OUR MIC'LL
PICK YOU UP AT NORMAL VOLUME

YOU CAN SPEAK NATURALLY.

CARTER WASN'T ACTING.

HE'S REALLY LIKE THAT.

THEY'RE FOCUSING ON DR. GREENE

BUT THEIR GOAL
IS TO GET A SENSE

OF WHAT ALL OF US DO
IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

AND PORTRAY IT
IN A POSITIVE LIGHT.

IT SAYS NOTHING THERE
ABOUT A "POSITIVE LIGHT."

IT ONLY TALKS
ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS

TO USE MY NAME AND IMAGE
IN PERPETUITY.

TAKE THIS IN
THE LOUNGE...

DOCTORS ANSPAUGH AND MORGENSTERN

THINK THIS WILL INCREASE
PUBLIC AWARENESS

OF THE HEALTH CARE
ISSUES WE FACE.

THAT'S FINE, BUT...

I'M SORRY,
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

NO OFFENSE, LUIS.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE
AMBUSHING US FOR AN EXPOSE

BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON
THIS FORM TO STOP THEM

AND IF I DON'T
SIGN THIS THING

YOU'RE WASTING
FILM RIGHT NOW.

HI.
I'M AGI ORTON.

MY HUSBAND AND I
ARE THE DIRECTORS.

HI. ANNA DEL AMICO.

DO YOU HAVE
SOME QUESTIONS?

IF WE COULD SPEAK IN THE LOUNGE,
WE CAN STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT.

OKAY, SURE.
I'LL CATCH YOU LATER.

DR. DEL AMICO IS NEW HERE...

IF SHE DOESN'T SIGN,
WE CAN SHOOT AROUND HER.

IF YOU'RE FINISHED,
STUART NEEDS YOU.

IS THIS ON TV?

PRE-SOLD TO PBS.

PBS? NOT NETWORK?

NO. LUIS.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

IT'S SOMETHING MARK AGREED TO DO
AND HE'S EXCITED ABOUT.

YOU THINK HE'S UP TO IT?

YEAH, SURE. WHY NOT?

CAMERAS ALL OVER
THE PLACE.

IT MAKES ME UPTIGHT.

I KNOW. WE'LL ALL
BE HIDING OUT HERE

BY THE END OF THE NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW MARK
THE WAY YOU DO

BUT HE SEEMS
A LITTLE SHAKY.

OH, HE'LL BE FINE.

I'D BE SHAKY, TOO

IF I'D HAD THE CRAP
BEATEN OUT OF ME.

MARK WANTED TO DO THIS.

I THINK
THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.

MAYBE HE'S BACK
ON HIS GAME.

MAYBE.

IN ANY CASE,
THEY'RE HERE,
THEY'RE SHOOTING.

THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO
EXCEPT STICK UP FOR MARK.

BUDDY, YOU LOOK LIKE
A STAR OUT THERE.

WELL, I'M ENJOYING
ALL THE ATTENTION.

DON'T GET TOO USED TO EVERYBODY
TAKING ORDERS FROM YOU.

YEAH, I WAS HOPING
FOR A SEQUEL.

SOME OF US ARE
WORKING STIFFS--

I'VE GOT MEASLES
IN FOUR.

LATER.

OH!

WHEW!

MR. SCHOENBERGER
IS IN SINUS RHYTHM.

B.P.'s 110/70,
PULSE IS 72,
RESPS ARE 16...

RESPS...
UH, SORRY.

SHOULD I
START OVER?

SURE.

NEXT TIME YOU CAN
JUST KEEP GOING.

MR. SCHOENBERGER'S
CARDIOGRAM IS NORMAL.

HIS SHORTNESS OF
BREATH WAS RESOLVED

WITH TWO LITERS
OF OXYGEN.

HE MAY HAVE HAD
SLIGHT INDIGESTION
A COUPLE HOURS AGO.

TODAY WAS
ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BURRITOS

AT MY FAVORITE
MEXICAN PLACE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY HISTORY
OF HEART DISEASE?

NO. MY RELATIVES
GENERALLY PREFER CANCER.

DO YOU SMOKE?

NOT CIGARETTES.

MR. SCHOENBERGER
RECENTLY TOOK
UP CIGARS.

I DON'T INHALE.

I STARTED
A CARDIAC WORK-UP

ORDERED A C.B.C.,
CHEM SEVEN.

CARDIAC ENZYMES,
SERUM MYOGLOBIN.

WHOA. THAT'S
A LITTLE GUNG-HO

FOR A GUY WHO ATE
TOO MANY BURRITOS.

WELL, HE WAS
CONCERNED ENOUGH

TO COME IN, AND
HE HAS INSURANCE.

THAT'S NO REASON
TO ORDER A MILLION TESTS.

YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET
A HOLD OF ANY HAVANAS?

WHOA! MY TASTES
ARE A LITTLE MORE PEDESTRIAN.

I'M HAPPY PUFFING
ON ONE OF THESE.

NO WONDER YOU'RE SHORT
OF BREATH.

SERIOUSLY?
YOU THINK IT'S
THE CIGARS?

THOSE AREN'T FIT
TO BE CALLED CIGARS.

YOU SHOULD LAY OFF THE
CHEAPOS FOR A FEW DAYS

AND I THINK
YOU'LL FEEL FINE.

GIVE UP THE STOGIES?

AT LEAST TREAT YOURSELF
TO SOMETHING DECENT.

HEY, YOU THINK
THIS'LL BE IN THE MOVIE?

I JUST DROPPED BY
TO THANK YOU
AGAIN, MARK

AND TO SEE HOW
THINGS ARE GOING.

Y-YOU DON'T
HAVE TO FILM THIS.

EVERYTHING
UNDER CONTROL?

YEAH. YEAH, IT IS.

SEEMS LIKE
A PRETTY
BUSY NIGHT.

NOT TOO BUSY.

FOR A WEEKNIGHT.

RIGHT.

PRETTY SLOW
FOR A WEEKNIGHT.

I'M SURE IT'LL
PICK UP LATER.

YEAH. LATER.

IT SHOULD PICK UP.

YOU'LL GET
GOOD STUFF.

I JUST WANTED
TO MAKE SURE

THINGS WERE COPASETIC

AND THANKS AGAIN
FOR TAKING THIS ON.

SURE.

STUART,
COME GRAB THIS.

EXCUSE ME-- WHO DO
I GIVE THIS TO?

OH, YOU
DECIDED TO SIGN?

YEAH, JUST KEEP MY FACE
OFF HARD COPY, OKAY?

THE NURSES ARE COOKING;
THEY'RE MIKED TO CHANNEL THREE.

THE BEST ONE
WAS THE GUY

WITH THE TRANSISTOR
RADIO. REMEMBER?

RIGHT.

HE SAID HE WAS
LEAVING THE SHOWER

AND SLIPPED
AND SAT DOWN ON IT.

OUCH!

WHILE IT WAS
STILL PLAYING?

* WHOOP! THERE IT IS!

SO I ASKED MARK--
DR. GREENE--

IF HE WAS GOING
TO EXTRACT THE
FOREIGN BODY

AND HE SAID, "NO,
BUT I'LL TUNE IT
TO THE BALL GAME!"

HEAD LAC FOR CARTER--
ANYBODY SEEN HIM?

NO.

WHAT ABOUT DATING
BETWEEN DOCTORS
AND NURSES?

WHO, MARK?

YOU TELL ME.

OH... UM...

OH, I'M SOR...

I'LL GET THAT;
I GOT THAT.

ACTUALLY, WE DO SOCIALIZE
BUT MORE AS A GROUP.

AND DR. GREENE COMES...
WELL, HE USED TO COME...

HE'S BEEN TAKING IT
KIND OF SLOW.

YEAH, SINCE
HE GOT BEAT DOWN.

YOU KNOW ABOUT
THAT, RIGHT?

MM.

ACTUALLY,
IT'S A MYTH

ABOUT DOCTORS AND NURSES
DATING SO MUCH.

I KNOW MORE NURSES WHO DATE
COPS, FIREMEN, PARAMEDICS.

NOW, THAT CLICHE IS TRUE.

OH, ESPECIALLY COPS.

ESPECIALLY
YOUNG COPS.

( cracking sound )

( groans )

( laughter )

GETTING BACK
TO DR. GREENE

YOU GUYS SEEM
A LITTLE...

I NEED A NURSE
IN THREE.

EVERYBODY,
THAT WAS GREAT.

Ross:
LUCY, YOU GOT
SOME 'SPLAINING TO DO.

WHAT?

WHAT'S ALL THIS
ABOUT COPS AND FIREMEN?

STAY WITH THEM.

Hathaway:
JEALOUS?

Ross:
JEALOUS?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE DOING FOR THEM

YOU'RE NOT DOING FOR ME.

I'LL TELL YOU LATER
IF YOU BRING THE CUFFS.

I THOUGHT I WOULD
SLEEP TONIGHT.

OH, DON'T COUNT ON THAT.

LOOK AT THAT.

HE WISHES HE
COULD READ LIPS.

HI, THERE, DUMB ASS.

DOUG, HE'S WAVING.

YOU GOT A MIC ON?

OH, MY GOD!
COULD HE HEAR ME?

TURN IT OFF.

THAT'S THE THING ABOUT THE E.R.,
YOU KNOW?

YOU GOT TO STAY ON YOUR TOES.

LILY'S LOOKING
FOR YOU.

I'M ON MY WAY.

YOU'RE ALSO MORE ON YOUR OWN
DOWN HERE.

WHEN I WAS UP IN SURGERY

THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMEONE LOOKING
OVER MY SHOULDER

CRITIQUING EVERY MOVE....

CARTER! HELP ME.

GET ME A BASIN--
I CAN'T GET HIM ROLLED.

I THINK I'M
GONNA PUKE AGAIN!

I KNOW...

( gagging )

OH... I FEEL MUCH BETTER.

OH, GOOD.
GOOD.

OH, YEAH.

I'M GOING
TO CHANGE.

COMPAZINE FOR
OUR FRIEND, PLEASE.

25 MILLIGRAMS P.R.

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN, "P.R."?

"PER RECTUM."

DO YOU HAVE
TO CLEAN THIS UP?

OH, NO.

HOUSEKEEPING
TO SUTURE ROOM.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

WE'LL KEEP IT
CONVERSATIONAL.

EVERYBODY, COME AND GO
AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD.

DON'T BE AFRAID
TO INTERRUPT.

JUST TALK RIGHT TO ME.

I'LL BE RIGHT NEXT
TO THE CAMERA.

FIRST, EXPLAIN
HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN HERE

WHAT AN ATTENDING DOES.

MY NAME'S MARK GREENE.

I'VE WORKED AT COUNTY GENERAL

SINCE FINISHING MED SCHOOL
SIX YEARS AGO.

I GOT THE G.I. BLEED IN CURTAIN
TWO ADMITTED TO MEDICINE.

THANKS, KERRY.

DESCRIBE HOW AN EMERGENCY ROOM
SERVES THE PUBLIC.

FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE
WE'RE THE ONLY...

PARAMEDICS ARE PULLING IN
A 37-YEAR-OLD MALE

UNDER RESPIRATORY
DISTRESS.

NEIGHBOR SAYS
HE'S GOT CANCER.

PREP TRAUMA ONE
AND FIND CARTER.

LABS ARE BACK
ON SCHOENBERGER.

YOU'D BETTER
TAKE A LOOK.

THE CIGAR SMOKER?

C.K.M.B.s
ARE PRETTY HIGH.

I'LL SAY.
DID HE GO HOME?

HE'S GETTING
READY TO GO.

WE HAVE A RESPIRATORY
DISTRESS PULLING UP.

I'M ON IT.

MR. SCHOENBERGER,
WE GOT YOUR TESTS BACK

WITH A RESULT WE DIDN'T EXPECT,
INDICATING A POSSIBLE PROBLEM.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU OUGHT TO STICK AROUND
FOR ONE MORE TEST.

TROPONIN-T.

IT'S JUST
FOR CLARIFICATION.

WE CAN DO IT
ON THE BLOOD WE'VE DRAWN.

BETTER SAFE
THAN SORRY.

EXACTLY. AND WHILE
YOU'RE WAITING

WE'LL STICK YOU BACK
ON A MONITOR.

AN ELEVATED C.K.M.B.

INDICATES HEART
MUSCLE DAMAGE.

A HEART ATTACK?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'LL GET ANOTHER E.K.G.

CAN IT MEAN
SOMETHING ELSE?

IT'S PROBABLY AN M.I.

BUT THE OTHER TEST
WILL CONFIRM IT.

AND THEN WHAT?

ACTUALLY, REGARDLESS
OF THE OTHER RESULTS

AN ELEVATED C.K.M.B.
MEANS HE'S HAD AN M.I.

SO, I'M ACTUALLY JUST GIVING HIM
A LITTLE TIME

TO ADJUST TO THAT POSSIBILITY.

AND, OF COURSE,
SINCE I MISSED IT

I'M BUYING SOME TIME
TO COVER MY ASS.

( siren wailing )

37-YEAR-OLD MAN
IN RESPIRATORY DISTRESS.

NEIGHBOR HERE SAYS
HE WAS DIAGNOSED

WITH ESOPHAGEAL CANCER
SIX MONTHS AGO.

I WAS WATCHING HIM
WHILE KRISTA WENT TO THE STORE.

HE STARTED, LIKE, CHOKING...

OUT OF THE WAY!

HE'S TACHY AT 120.

PRESSURE'S
130/100.

RESPS ARE
INCREASED AT 30.

HE'S GOT A LOT
OF SECRETIONS.

ALL RIGHT, GET HIM
ON HIGH-FLOW O2

AND PREP
AN INTUBATION TRAY.

ON MY COUNT--
ONE, TWO, THREE.

HELP HIM, HE CAN'T BREATHE.
HANG IN THERE, BOZ.

CHUNY, SUCTION
THESE SECRETIONS.

HANG TWO LITERS OF SALINE--
THIS GUY IS BONE DRY.

SHOULD I INTUBATE?

WITH THE MASS IN HIS THROAT,
WE'D HAVE TO CRIKE HIM.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO USE
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES

IF HE HAS A D.N.R.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT YOUR FRIEND'S WISHES?

HE'S THE BEST BASS PLAYER
I EVER MET.

YOU CAN'T LIGHT
THAT THING UP IN HERE.

KEEP SUCTIONING.

ANNA, GRAB A BLOOD GAS.

PULSE OX DOWN TO 87.

PREP A CRIKE TRAY.

GIVE HIM 600
OF CLINDAMYCIN I.V.

CAROL, GET THE SLATE.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

BOZ.

BOZ, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I KNOW YOU'RE HAVING
TROUBLE BREATHING.

DO YOU WANT US
TO HELP YOU OUT?

I GOT TO
GET IN HERE.

SIR, I'LL HOLD UP THIS SLATE,
AND YOU CAN WRITE ON IT.

BOZ, DO YOU WANT A
CRICHOTHYROIDECTOMY?

I CAN CUT A HOLE IN YOUR
NECK TO HELP YOU BREATHE.

DO YOU WANT THAT?

IF YOU CAN'T WRITE
YOUR ANSWER

I'LL HAVE TO PUT
THE TUBE IN.

DO YOU WANT
TO BE CRIKED?

DON'T LET HIM DIE!
GIVE HIM THE CRIKE THING!

DAMN. I CAN'T
GET THIS.

OKAY, CRIKE TRAY.

YEAH, DO IT.
DO IT!

NO, NO, NO!
YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW.

Luis:
I WOULDN'T ASK
IF I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW.

I HAVE DONE THIS TOO LONG
NOT TO KNOW.

THIS JOB, PEOPLE DON'T
WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

WHY? BECAUSE
OF WHAT YOU CLEAN UP?

( laughs )

THIS IS NOTHING.

BELIEVE ME, THIS HERE
IS JUST A LITTLE... PICNIC.

YOU OUGHT TO SEE
WHAT SOME OF THEM DO.

A BODY IS ONLY SO BIG, BUT...

YOU CAN HARDLY BELIEVE
ALL THAT COMES OUT OF IT.

( chuckling )

YOU GET USED TO IT THOUGH,
LIKE EVERY MAMA AND DADDY

GET USED TO CHANGING
A BABY'S DIAPER.

BUT THE BLOOD AND THE GORE--

YOU KNOW
WHAT THE GORE IS, RIGHT?

THAT'S THE PART
YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT...

WHEN YOU GO HOME AND THEY
ASK YOU HOW YOUR DAY WAS.

NO, NO.

( chuckling )

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.

YOU SEE, I'M A RELIGIOUS PERSON

AND I BELIEVE HUMAN BEINGS
WERE CREATED IN GOD'S IMAGE.

SO, WHATEVER I'M CLEANING UP
MUST BE JUST FINE.

( chuckling )

DO YOU BELIEVE?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU MEAN,
BELIEVE IN GOD.

UH-HUH.

YOU COULDN'T DO MY JOB
IF YOU DIDN'T.

YOU COULD MAYBE BE A DOCTOR
OR A NURSE OR MAKE A MOVIE.

NOT MY JOB.

HEY, I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING ELSE, TOO.

LUIS, WE NEED YOU
IN THE TRAUMA ROOM.

A GUY STOPPED
BREATHING.

I'M ON MY WAY.

I'LL CATCH YOU LATER.

SURE, YOU WILL.

MOST OF THE ONES I CAN REMEMBER
ARE FROM MY FIRST YEAR.

AFTER A WHILE,
YOU GET PROTECTIVE

AND YOU DON'T LET THEM
GET TO YOU.

SO, WHAT DOES IT TAKE
THESE DAYS

TO BREAK THROUGH
YOUR ARMOR?

IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

BUT THERE WAS THIS ONE GIRL
MY FIRST YEAR.

I GUESS I'D GOTTEN USED
TO THIS BEING A COUNTY FACILITY.

I'D TREATED
A LOT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE

A LOT OF PEOPLE
FROM THE PROJECTS.

ONE DAY, THIS GIRL CAME IN--
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT--

IN A COMA, BRAIN DEAD,
AND I REALIZED I KNEW HER.

SHE WAS THE KID SISTER OF A GUY
I'D GONE TO MED SCHOOL WITH.

ONE NIGHT, SHE'D TRIED TO SHOW
ME HOW TO SLAM DANCE

YOU KNOW, JUST FOOLING AROUND.

THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED

THAT TRAUMA ISN'T SOMETHING
THAT HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE.

IT COULD HAPPEN
TO YOU.

THAT'S RIGHT.

DOES IT CHANGE THINGS
WHEN IT IS YOU?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHEN YOU YOURSELF
ARE TRAUMATIZED.

AS A DOCTOR...

I SEE YOU HAVE A SPLINT
ON YOUR WRIST.

I HEARD YOU HAD AN INCIDENT
RECENTLY HERE AT THE HOSPITAL.

IS THAT WHAT
YOU'RE DOING HERE?

I DIDN'T AGREE
TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

BUT SAFETY IS SOMETHING
EVERYBODY WORRIES ABOUT.

THAT WHY YOU PICKED ME?

Luis:
YOU DON'T HAVE

TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

GOOD, BECAUSE I'M NOT.

BUT WE ARE HERE.

WE ARE COMMITTED
TO MAKING THIS FILM.

AND WE WANT YOU
TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY

TO SAY WHAT'S
ON YOUR MIND.

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY--
I LET YOU FOLLOW ME AROUND

BUT NO MORE COMMENTS,
NO INTERVIEW.

DR. GREENE,
WE ARE PROFESSIONALS.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO ATTACK YOU.

AGI?

DAMN.

Carter:
IS THAT HIS DAUGHTER?

Weaver:
NO, IT'S HIS WIFE.

ESOPHAGEAL CANCER--
IT'S A HORRIBLE DEATH.

DR. GREENE CRIKED HIM.

HE'S RUNNING
INTO SURGICAL OPTIONS

AND NONE OF THEM ARE GOING
TO BUY HIM MUCH TIME.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT
TO SPEAK TO THE WIFE?

SHE LOOKS LIKE
SHE'S A TEENAGER.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT
TO GET HER

TO UNDERSTAND
THE SITUATION.

I'D LIKE TO TRY.

NORMALLY, WE WOULDN'T
HAVE AN INTERN TAKE ON

SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
BUT CARTER'S BEEN AROUND.

AND TECHNICALLY,
I'M NOT AN INTERN.

I'M SECOND YEAR.

UH, NO,
YOU'RE AN INTERN.

I AM?

YEAH. YOU CAN'T SWITCH
YOUR SPECIALTY HERE

WITHOUT STARTING OVER.

I'VE ALREADY
DONE A YEAR.

IN SURGERY.

THIS IS
EMERGENCY MEDICINE.

UH...

WE'LL DISCUSS
THIS LATER

WHEN WE'RE NOT
IN THE MIDDLE
OF ALL THIS.

Luis:
WHERE DO YOU START?

HUH?

WHEN YOU HAVE
TO COUNSEL FAMILY

ABOUT SOMETHING
LIKE THIS.

OH, YEAH, WELL, IT'S TRICKY.

PEOPLE ARE UPSET,
AND THEY'RE HEARING

A LOT OF COMPLEX INFORMATION.

AN EMERGENCY RESIDENT...

OR INTERN, HAS TO ESTABLISH
AN INSTANT RAPPORT WITH THE...

EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR.

NOT AT ALL.

I WAS JUST COMING IN
TO SEE YOU.

UM, YOUR HUSBAND
IS GOING TO BE ADMITTED.

YEAH, WELL, YOU'D
BETTER CALL TRANSPORT.

THEY CAN TAKE FOREVER.

WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT
YOUR HUSBAND'S CONDITION.

EXCUSE ME
FOR ONE SECOND.

CHUNY, CAN I SEE THAT CHART?

IF I GO TOO
FAST FOR YOU

OR IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS,
JUST PLEASE STOP ME.

I KNOW YOUR HUSBAND'S
HAD SOME LASER
TREATMENTS.

THAT'S A PROCEDURE
TO ENLARGE THE OPENING
OF THE ESOPHAGUS.

YEAH, FOR ALL
THE GOOD IT DID.

WELL, A FEEDING TUBE
CAN BE INSERTED

THROUGH
THAT OPENING.

CANCER EATS
RIGHT THROUGH IT.

THERE'S AN OPTION
CALLED THE J-TUBE.

WE'RE NOT SCREWING
AROUND WITH THAT.

THE SUCKER'S ON HIS AORTA;
HE'S A DEAD MAN.

IF YOU FEEL THAT
WAY, YOU MIGHT
WANT TO CONSIDER

HAVING YOUR HUSBAND
SIGN A D.N.R.--

THAT'S A DO-NOT-
RESUSCITATE
ORDER, WHICH...

YEAH, GOT IT.

THERE WAS ONE
BY HIS BED, TOO

BUT ROG SORT OF FREAKED.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

WE TRIED TO ASK HIM.

I WAS JUST OUT BUYING GARLIC
AND HERBS-- BOZ' FOOD.

BUT ALL HE CAN DO NOW
IS SMELL IT ANYWAYS.

I HOLD IT UNDER HIS NOSE,
AND HE SMELLS.

WANT TO HEAR
ABOUT OUR SEX LIFE?

IF THERE'S ANYTHING
THAT I CAN ANSWER

OR IF THERE'S ANYTHING
THAT YOU NEED...

YEAH.

I'M ON LIBRIUM.

CAN YOU WRITE ME
A REFILL?

THE MOTHER WANTS
TO CALL ANIMAL CONTROL.

WELL, THIS
OUGHT TO BE FUN.

I'VE HAD JO-JO
FOR NINE YEARS.

HE'S A VICIOUS DOG.

HE ONLY SOUNDS THAT WAY.

HE'S NEVER BITTEN
ANYONE BEFORE.

HE HADN'T BEEN
AROUND CHILDREN.

CAN YOU GIVE IT A
REST OVER THERE?!

YOU SEE WHO'S
LAYING HERE
BEHAVING HERSELF?

DID YOU CALL
ANIMAL CONTROL?

PLEASE, TAKE A BREATH.

THIS IS OUR DAUGHTER
WHO WAS BITTEN!

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CALL
ANIMAL CONTROL WITH BITES.

ISN'T THAT THE LAW?

YES, IT IS.

ANNA, PULL THAT
LIGHT OVER HERE?

DID YOU SEE HOW
THE BITE HAPPENED?

MY SON DID.

I'D RUN OUT
TO GET THE PHONE

AND APPARENTLY THE DOG
JUST WENT FOR HER.

HOW BAD DOES IT LOOK?

UH, IT'S DEEP.

SHE'S GOING TO
NEED INTRAVENOUS
ANTIBIOTICS.

INTRAVENOUS?

YEAH. THAT'S NOT
A CANINE BITE.

WHAT?
THAT'S A BITE

FROM AN IMMATURE
HOMO SAPIEN--

THAT'S ONE WHO STILL
HAS PRIMARY INCISORS.

TODD?

DID YOU BITE
YOUR SISTER?

WHY WOULD YOU DO
SUCH A THING?!

YOU KNOW
YOU LOVE YOUR SISTER.

HE GETS A HUG
FOR THIS?

OKAY, WHY DON'T YOU
GUYS WAIT HERE?

IF YOU AND I CAN SPEAK
OUT IN THE HALLWAY?

Greene:
HOW'D YOU GET
THESE BURNS

ON YOUR HANDS
AND YOUR LIP?

I ALREADY TOLD HER.

SHE WAS MAKING POPCORN
WHEN IT EXPLODED.

HER RESTING PULSE IS 120,
AND SHE'S TREMULOUS.

YOU SHOULD LAY
OFF THE CRACK.

I DON'T DO THAT STUFF.

UH-HUH.

YOU WANT ME
TO GET A TOX SCREEN?

YOU WANT TO STOP
DOING CRACK?

GO AWAY, MAN.

I DON'T THINK
THE TAXPAYERS
ARE INTERESTED

IN BUYING DORIS
A TOX SCREEN.

SO, LET'S UPDATE
HER TETANUS,
DRESS THE BURNS

AND HAVE HER CHECKED IN
THE SURGICAL CLINIC

IN TWO DAYS.

SHE ALSO COMPLAINED
OF AN UPSET STOMACH.

WHAT HAVE YOU
EATEN TODAY?

NOTHING.

NOT EVEN
POPCORN?

YOU GOT TO EAT RIGHT
AND STOP THE DRUGS.

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
WHAT I DO!

SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

Agi:
YOU DIDN'T SEE
ANY REASON

TO CONFIRM
HER DRUG USE?

DR. GREENE'S
A BUSY MAN.

YES, HE IS.

HE HAS A LOT OF
RESPONSIBILITY,
A LOT OF PRESSURE.

HOW'S HE HANDLE IT?

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO ASK HIM THAT.

( drumsticks tapping )

SIR, WE HAVE A
BED FOR YOU NOW.

WE'LL GET YOU IN
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

NURSE, DID YOU SEE
MY DOCTOR?

WHERE'S THE DOCTOR?

IT'S OKAY, DEAR.

THE DOCTOR WILL
SEE YOU SOON.

I NEED A DOCTOR!

( sobbing )

PETER.

HEY, PETER!

PETER, WAKE UP!

WE'VE GOT A DOUBLE
TRAUMA COMING IN.

TEENAGER,
VICTIM OF A GANG BEATING

AND A BYSTANDER
WHO TRIED TO STOP THE ATTACK.

THEY'RE BOTH CRITICAL.

HAVE YOU SEEN MARK?

NO. I'LL MEET HIM
IN TRAUMA TWO.

Ross:
SO, HOW'D
THEY FIND OUT?

I DON'T KNOW.

POLICE REPORT, GOSSIP.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT IT.

THAT'S GOOD POLICY, MAN.

WHAT'S THE SCORE?

IT'S 8-1,
CUBS BEHIND

BOTTOM OF THE SEVENTH.

LISTEN, WHAT
YOU CAN'T DO

IS YOU CAN'T GET MAD
AT THEM ON CAMERA.

THEY GO FOR THAT STUFF
LIKE SHARKS.

THEY'RE NOT SHARKS.

THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE
A TEARJERKER

WITH ME AS THE POOR PATHETIC
VICTIMIZED DOCTOR.

I DON'T KNOW.

I WAS WATCHING
THAT DIRECTOR.

SHE WAS LOOKING
AT YOU.

AGI?

YEAH. SHE
WAS WATCHING.

SHE'S TRYING
TO GET PERSONAL.

YOU GO FOR THAT, TOO--
THE INTENSE, KIND
OF BRAINY TYPE.

DOUG, SHE'S MARRIED
TO THE GUY BEHIND THE CAMERA.

THE OLD GUY?

YEAH, THEY'RE A PAIR.

MAY-DECEMBERS
NEVER HOLD UP.

ARE YOU GUYS TALKING
ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS?

YEP. WE DON'T TRUST THEM.

YEAH, THEY'RE
BLOODSUCKERS.

YOU THINK
YOU SHOULD BE DOING THAT

IN FRONT
OF THEIR CAMERA?

IS THAT ON?

DOUG, MARK,
WE'VE GOT A
DOUBLE TRAUMA.

HELP MY BROTHER.

14-YEAR-OLD
WITH BLUNT TRAUMA

FROM BASEBALL BATS.

BATS?

PULSE 130,
B.P. 100/60.

WE TUBED HIM
TO PROTECT HIS AIRWAY.

WE GOT A 30-YEAR-OLD VICTIM
OF A 15-FOOT FALL.

HE GOT PUSHED OVER A RAILING
ONTO A CONCRETE SURFACE.

BRIEF LOSS OF
CONSCIOUSNESS
AT SCENE

CLEARED EN ROUTE.

NOW ALERT AND ORIENTED.

OCCIPITAL HEMATOMA.

B.P. 60 PALP,
PULSE 120.

FLACCID PARALYSIS IN
ALL FOUR EXTREMITIES

WITH LOSS
OF SENSATION.

CALL NEUROLOGY
AND GET X RAY DOWN HERE.

( drumsticks tapping )

ON MY COUNT-- ONE, TWO, THREE.

C.B.C., TYPE AND CROSS,
FOUR UNITS.

LATERAL C-SPINE,
CHEST AND PELVIS.

LET'S MOVE!

CAN YOU FEEL ANYTHING
ANYWHERE?

NO, NOT A BIT.

IS THAT OKAY?

HE'S GOT GOOD BREATH SOUNDS

BUT DIMINISHED
TIDAL VOLUME.

B.P.'s 60 PALP.

I NEED A PATH
HERE, GUYS.

COULD BE
SPINAL SHOCK.

LET'S RULE OUT
INTRA-ABDOMINAL BLEED.

LET'S SET UP.

LET'S GET A LAP.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE
ORDER, DR. DEL AMICO?

HIGH-DOSE STEROIDS.

AND WHY?

TO IMPROVE MOTOR FUNCTION
AND SENSATION

AFTER A SPINAL CORD
INJURY.

Patient:
SPINAL CORD?

( drumsticks tapping )

WOULD SOMEBODY
SHUT THAT GUY UP?!

WE'RE JUST TRYING
TO ASSESS YOUR INJURIES.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?

UM, CALL ME THEO,
ALL RIGHT? UH, 165.

Benton:
IT'S NEGATIVE.

I'M GOING TO GO
CHECK ON THE KID.

START DOPAMINE
AT TEN MIKES.

WE'RE OUT OF THE WOODS.

LISTEN, THEO,
WE NEED TO CHECK

YOUR MOTOR RESPONSE.

OKAY, DR. DEL AMICO?

SIR, CAN YOU SQUEEZE
MY HAND?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME, HUH?

MR. WILLIAMS, CAN YOU SHRUG
YOUR SHOULDERS, PLEASE?

( drumsticks tapping )

HEY, WE JUST WANT
TO TALK TO HIM.

SEE IF HE'S OKAY.

YOU HAVE TO SIT
IN CHAIRS.

HEY, WHAT Y'ALL DOING
OVER HERE?

THESE GUYS TAILGATED
ME ALL THE WAY HERE.

HEY, WHERE'S CHICO, HUH?

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!

I'LL GO SEE
IF YOUR FRIEND'S OKAY.

JUST WAIT HERE, OKAY?

EL LE SIGUE,
POR FAVOR.

POR FAVOR?

AND ABOUT 75 GRAMS.

BLOWN LEFT PUPIL.

LET'S HYPERVENTILATE HIM.

INTRACRANIAL
HEMORRHAGE.

GOOD BOWEL SOUNDS.

CALL FOR A STAT
HEAD C.T.

DECORTICATE
POSTURING.

G.C.S. EIGHT.

HEY, THERE'S
A SITUATION
AT THE DESK.

SHE'S GOT SECURITY,
BUT DON'T BRING
THE KID

DOWN TO C.T.
RIGHT NOW.

HIS HOMEYS
ARE OUT THERE.

THEY CAME HERE?

THOSE BASTARDS.

YOU STAY AWAY
FROM HIM, OKAY?

COME ON, YOU GUYS,
TAKE IT OUTSIDE!

STAY AWAY!

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOUR BROTHER'S
A RANKER.

YOU ALMOST KILLED HIM!

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?!

YOU CALL THE COPS!

SHUT UP, BITCH!

IT WASN'T US!

YOU PUSHED THAT GUY
RIGHT OVER THE RAIL!

YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT MAN!

HEY, WHO ARE
YOU, HUH?!

HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP,
AND YOU PUSHED HIM OVER!

Weaver:
AT THE MOMENT

THE GENTLEMAN'S C-4 NERVE--
THAT'S THE NERVE

BETWEEN THE FOURTH
AND FIFTH CERVICAL VERTEBRAE--

IS STILL FUNCTIONING.

IT MEANS
HE CAN MOVE THE DIAPHRAGM

AND SHRUG HIS SHOULDERS

BUT IF THE SWELLING CONTINUES
AND HE BECOMES A C-3

HE WILL LOSE THE ABILITY
TO BREATHE ON HIS OWN.

SO HOW'S THE SHOOTING GOING
SO FAR?

ARE YOU GETTING
EVERYTHING YOU NEED?

Luis:
YEAH, I THINK SO.

IT'S BEEN GOOD.
GOOD.

YEAH, ONE OF THE THINGS
I NOTICED

THAT YOU MIGHT
BE MISSING IS THE
IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN--

EXCUSE ME--

WOMEN WORKING IN THE E.R.

THAT'S CHANGED DRAMATICALLY
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS--

ALL KINDS OF DIVERSITY
AMONG MEDICAL WORKERS.

IT'S CRUCIAL
TO THE UNDERSTANDING

OF HOW EMERGENCY MEDICINE
HAS EVOLVED.

YEAH, I'LL MENTION THAT
TO AGI AND STUART.

UM, WHAT WAS THAT
YOU WERE POINTING TO?

UH, HERE?
YEAH.

THIS IS A FRACTURE OF THE FOURTH
AND FIFTH CERVICAL VERTEBRAE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS THAT MR. WILLIAMS,
WHO TRIED TO BE A GOOD SAMARITAN

AND STOP A YOUNG MAN
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW

FROM BEING BEATEN TO DEATH

IS NOW PARALYZED
FROM THE NECK DOWN.

KERRY... MAY
I INTERRUPT?
DAVID.

COME ON IN.
COME IN. COME IN.

NO, I'D RATHER TALK OUT...
THIS IS, UH,
DR. MORGENSTERN

OUR TOO-MODEST CHIEF
OF EMERGENCY SERVICES.

IF YOU HEARD ABOUT
OUR LITTLE ALTERCATION

IT'S ALL SETTLED.

POLICE?
THE POLICE SUBDUED
THE PERP...

I THOUGHT...

DAVID, YOU'RE DIAPHORETIC.

I-I-IS SOMETHING WRONG?

CHEST PAIN.

RADIATING?

TO THE JAW.
STARTED 20 MINUTES AGO.

OH, MY GOD.
LIE DOWN.

LIE DOWN. LET'S GET
YOU ON A MONITOR.

HERE YOU GO. GENTLY.

YOU GET OUT.

OUT!

GET OUT! OUT!

LYDIA!

LYDIA! GRAB ME
SOME ATROPINE, NITRO

AND A 12-LEAD E.K.G.

OH, MY GOD.

PULSE OX MONITOR
AND START A LINE.

THERE YOU GO, DAVID.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
GOOD CARE OF YOU.

Hathaway:
HOW ABOUT THERE?

Theo:
NO. NOTHING.

ANYTHING AT ALL?

NO, MA'AM.

THE FEELING WILL
COME BACK, WON'T IT?

THAT'S WHAT THE DOCTORS
ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT.

OUCH! OH, I FELT THAT.

Greene:
GOOD. GOOD. MARK IT.
I FELT THAT.

SIR, WE'RE GOING
TO WATCH YOU VERY CLOSELY.

IF THE SWELLING
IN YOUR SPINAL CORD CONTINUES

WE MAY HAVE TO PUT YOU
ON A VENTILATOR

TO HELP YOU BREATHE.

Oligario:
MR. WILLIAMS,
A BABY-SITTER AT YOUR HOUSE

SAID YOUR WIFE
WAS AT SCHOOL.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT;
IT'S, UM, IT'S THURSDAY.

SHE WON'T GET IN
UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

OKAY, WE'LL GET
A MESSAGE TO HER.

GET THAT BABY-SITTER
ON THE PHONE, NOW.
OKAY.

Jeanie:
MALIK.

MALIK, HOLD ON!
DAMN IT!

Malik:
I'LL BRING IT BACK.
I NEED IT NOW!

KERRY, I WAS
ABOUT TO DO...
JEANIE...

MORGENSTERN.

OH, MY GOD.

Benton:
WHAT HAPPENED, CARTER?

THE KID WHO GOT BEAT UP.

HE CRASHED
BEFORE WE COULD GET A C.T.

LAVAGE WAS POSITIVE.

IT MAY BE HIS SPLEEN.

THIS THE KID
WITH HEAD TRAUMA?
GET IN LINE.

I NEED A C.T.

YOU'LL HAVE TO DRILL
THE BURRHOLES IN O.R.

CARTER, WHERE
ARE YOU GOING?

UP. I'M BAGGING HIM.
NOT ANYMORE.

DR. BENTON.

THANK YOU.

SOMEBODY'S DISAPPOINTED
I LEFT SURGERY, ISN'T HE?

EXCUSE ME, I'M MISS CORDAY.

COULD YOU POINT ME
TOWARDS CASUALTY?
I'M SOR...

SORRY, TRAUMA.
I MEAN TRAUMA.

TRAUMA IS THAT WAY.

DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?

NO, I'LL CALL OUT
IF I GET LOST.
YOU OKAY?

HE WAS TRYING
TO GET OUT OF A GANG.

YOU'RE IN THE
E.R., CARTER.

YOU GET THEM ON THE ELEVATOR
ALIVE, YOU'VE DONE YOUR JOB.

HOW'S HE GOING TO DO?

HE'S GOT
A BLOWN LEFT PUPIL--

PROBABLY MEANS
A CHRONIC VEGETATIVE STATE

IF HE DOESN'T
BLEED TO DEATH FIRST.

HOW BAD'S HE LOOK?

HIS S.T.s ARE SKY HIGH
IN TWO, THREE, AND F.

HIS FATHER HAD AN M.I. AT 40.

YEAH, I'LL HOLD.

DR. WEAVER, I WONDER
IF WE COULD TALK NOW...

LATER.
MULTIFOCAL P.V.C.s.

SHOULD WE
GIVE HIM LIDOCAINE?

YES. GREAT.

CATH LAB'S READY FOR US.

LET'S GET HIM UP.

DR. GREENE, I WONDER

IF YOU'RE AWARE
OF MY SITUATION...

Oligario:
I GOT THE BABY-SITTER.

LATER, CARTER.

EXCUSE ME.

IS THIS
THE WILLIAMS' SITTER?

HELLO. THIS IS DR. GREENE

FROM THE EMERGENCY ROOM
AT COUNTY GENERAL HOSPITAL.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

HOW FAR AWAY ARE YOU

FROM WHERE MRS. WILLIAMS
GOES TO SCHOOL?

GOOD.

GET A NEIGHBOR
TO WATCH THE BABY

AND RUN THERE AS FAST
AS YOU CAN AND GET HER.

TELL HER IT'S AN EMERGENCY
AND THAT EVERY MINUTE COUNTS.

PUT HER IN A CAB.

WE'RE ABOUT
A TEN-MINUTE RIDE AWAY.

YOU GOT ALL THAT?

ANY QUESTIONS?

GOOD. GO.

Agi:
IS HE LOSING HIS
ABILITY TO BREATHE?

AT THE RATE HIS PULSE OX
IS FALLING

I'LL BE FORCED
TO INTUBATE HIM SOON.

SO, YOU NEED
THE WIFE HERE

TO SIGN A CONSENT
OR SOMETHING?

MR. WILLIAMS IS PARALYZED

PROBABLY FOR THE REST
OF HIS LIFE.

RIGHT NOW, HE CAN STILL SPEAK.

IT WOULD BE NICE
IF HE AND HIS WIFE

COULD TALK TO EACH OTHER FOR A
FEW MINUTES WHILE HE STILL CAN.

THEO, CAN YOU TAKE
A DEEP BREATH FOR ME?

( inhaling )

GOOD.

I'LL SEE
IF DR. GREENE CAN JOIN US.

GOOD IDEA.

EXCUSE ME, NURSE.

I'M MISS CORDAY.

I WAS BEEPED DOWN
FOR A CONSULT.

YOU'RE A DOCTOR?

OH, DON'T MIND THEM.

Williams:
THESE GENTLEMEN ARE
MAKING A MOVIE.

I'M A SURGICAL LECTURER
IN ORTHOPEDICS AND TRAUMA.

THEY SAID THERE WAS
AN ADOLESCENT WHO DECOMPENSATED.

OH, DR. BENTON TOOK HIM UP.

AH, DOCTOR BENTON.

YOU CALL YOUR SURGEONS "DOCTOR."

WELL, I SUPPOSE "MISS CORDAY"

WON'T GET ME
VERY FAR AROUND HERE.

JUST TO THE WAITING ROOM.

I'M CAROL HATHAWAY.

PLEASURE MEETING YOU.

HOW DID THE
PATIENT LOOK--

THE BOY WITH THE
POSITIVE LAVAGE?

NOT GOOD--
BLOWN PUPIL, DEEP COMA.

THIS THE KID I SAVED?

YEAH.

WE'RE KEEPING
OUR FINGERS CROSSED.

Weaver:
GENTLY. DAVID, ARE YOU

STILL EXPERIENCING
THE SAME AMOUNT OF PAIN?

Morgenstern:
YEAH.

ON A SCALE
OF ONE TO TEN

HOW WOULD YOU
RATE THAT PAIN?

UH, EI-EIGHT.

PARDON? EIGHT.
EIGHT.

OKAY, LET'S GET HIM ON
VERY GENTLY--

AND THEY'RE ALL
SET UP FOR US.

THEY KNOW WE'RE COMING.

HERE WE GO.
WHAT THE HELL...?

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NO. I ASKED
YOU NOT TO.

Luis:
ARE YOU GOING
TO THE CATH LAB?

YES. TURN IT OFF.

ISN'T THERE A PATIENT
WHO'S WAITING?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

DO SOME PATIENTS GET
PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT IN E.R.?

LOOK AT ME.

I'M TALKING TO YOU.

IS THIS RECORDING?
YES.

GOOD. ARE YOU A DOCTOR?

DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE
WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTIONS?

NO.
HOW'S HE DOING?

SINUS RHYTHM 60,
PULSE OX 96.

LOOK AT ME-- HOW CAN YOU MAKE
AN ACCUSATION ABOUT TREATMENT?

YOUR CAMERA SEES ONE MAN
GOING TO THE CATH LAB

AND YOU ASSUME
PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT!

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT ACUTE S.T. ELEVATIONS ARE?

IS THERE ANOTHER PATIENT
IN THE E.R.

WHO HAD A RUN OF V-TACH?

I DON'T KNOW.

HOW'S THE ECTOPY?
UNDER FIVE PER MINUTE.

SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO KNOW?

WHAT CAN WE TELL YOU?

I'M SORRY.

I GOT CARRIED AWAY.

YOU DID.

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

82-YEAR-OLD MALE

FOUND DOWN
AT HIS NURSING HOME.

WENT IN FIB EN ROUTE--
SHOCKED TWICE WITHOUT SUCCESS.

SHALL I DEFIBRILLATE?
BE MY GUEST.

CHARGE TO 360.

Malik:
YOU GOT IT.

HAS HE HAD EPI?
THREE MINUTES AGO.

GO AHEAD.
LUBE IT UP.

360?

YEAH.
CLEAR!

Stuart:
AGI, I NEED A BATTERY.

Carter:
ANOTHER 50 OF LIDOCAINE.

DO IT AGAIN, 360.

AGI, MY CAMERA
BATTERY'S DYING!

Agi:
KEEP SHOOTING, STUART.
CLEAR!

Malik:
GOT A RHYTHM.

PULSE?

FAINT, BUT IT'S THERE.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY,
WE GOT HIM BACK!

GOOD WORK.

I'M LOSING POWER.

HOW'S THAT FEEL,
DOCTOR?

TO BRING SOMEBODY BACK?

OH, THAT'S THE, UH,
THAT'S THE, UM...

DR. BENTON?

YEAH?

ELIZABETH CORDAY.

VISITING SURGICAL LECTURER
AND YOUR SAVIOR.

EXCUSE ME?

I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN
ON CALL FOREVER.

YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

I'M ON NOW.
OH, WOW. GREAT.

EXCUSE ME. ARE YOU THE DOCTOR
WHO TOOK CARE OF MY BROTHER?

YEAH. YOU'RE STILL
DOWN HERE?

YEAH, I HAD TO TALK
TO THE COPS.

OH.
OH, SORRY.

HOW IS HE?

THEY REMOVED HIS SPLEEN
TO STOP THE BLEEDING

AND THE NEUROSURGEONS
ARE STILL WORKING ON HIM.

DOES HE HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE?

LET'S CALL UPSTAIRS AND
SEE IF THERE'S ANY NEWS.

THOUGHT I WAS A GONER.

YEAH?

ME, TOO.

YOU'LL BE GETTING
A LOT OF THANK-YOUS

FROM THE FEMALE POPULATION
OVER AT RIVER VIEW--

NOT TO BRAG TOO MUCH.

YEAH. YOU A
PRETTY POPULAR
GUY OVER THERE?

I SEEM TO BE.

YOU KNOW, I NEVER WAS
MUCH OF A CASANOVA IN MY DAY.

I DIDN'T GO IN FOR

ALL THE WILD POSITIONS
AND SO FORTH.

BUT THE LADIES NEED THAT,
YOU KNOW, ALL THE POSITIONS.

SO I'VE HEARD.

AND THE SWEET TALK.

I NEVER WAS MUCH
FOR THAT EITHER.

YOU KNOW, I WAS MOSTLY
MEAT AND POTATOES.

BUT NOW, I'M 82, I'M
A MAN, I'M BREATHING

THE ODDS ARE 12-1
IN MY FAVOR.

I'M GETTING IT
ANYTIME I WANT.

NOT TOO BAD, OLD AGE.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT.

TELL YOU, IT FEELS GOOD
TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A MAN

WHO'S PERFORMING
SUCH A SERVICE TO SOCIETY.

STUD SERVICE.

GET THAT IN.

I'M GOING TO HELP YOU.

HE WAS FOUND DOWN OUTSIDE
THE STONES CONCERT.

HE LOOKED LIKE HE FELL

THROUGH A SHEET OF PLATE
GLASS OR SOMETHING.

OH! EASY. EASY.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

STOP. STOP. STOP.

STOP! DON'T TOUCH ME!

CALL SECURITY.

SECURITY?!

EVERYTHING'S OKAY.

JUST RELAX.

NO, STAY AWAY.

NO! JUST... I-M-I'M SICK.

IT'S OKAY.

JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME.

PLEASE...

HEY, IT'S OKAY...

NO, IT'S NOT OKAY.
I'M SICK.

I'M HIV-POSITIVE.

I'VE GOT AIDS.

STAY AWAY FROM ME.

PLEASE. NO, NO.

OKAY. SHH. IT'S OKAY.

STOP.

IT'S OKAY.

ALL RIGHT?

JUST LAY BACK.

LET US HELP YOU.

IT ITCHES.

I KNOW IT ITCHES.

TAKE IT AWAY.

I'LL TAKE IT AWAY, OKAY?

LAY BACK.

SHH. COME ON.

WE'LL MAKE IT BETTER, OKAY.

I'LL DO WHAT I CAN.

WHEN DID YOU DECIDE
TO BECOME A SURGEON?

OH, WELL, UH, THAT GETS

INTO PLEASING MY FATHER,
RATTLING MY MOTHER

AND ALL SORTS OF BORING
FAMILY SECRETS.

BUT THE SHORT ANSWER IS

MY FATHER IS A SURGEON
AS WAS HIS FATHER

AND MY FATHER HAD NO SONS.

ARE YOU A RESIDENT
IN THE U.K.?

WELL, I'M AFRAID IT'S A
DIFFERENT SYSTEM ALTOGETHER.

UM, I'M AN F.R.C.S. WHICH IS

A FELLOW OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE
OF SURGEONS AND A LECTURER.

THAT'S ROUGHLY THE EQUIVALENT OF
YOUR SENIOR SURGICAL RESIDENTS

BUT NOT REALLY,
BECAUSE I HAVE...

I'M SORRY. YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY
BE INTERESTED IN THIS.

DR. BENTON?

PLEASE RESCUE ME FROM
THESE WELL-INTENTIONED PEOPLE.

WE'RE JUST DISCUSSING
THE SURGICAL SERVICE.

NO, THANK YOU.

HAVE YOU SEEN THAT
YOUNG LADY I WAS
TALKING TO EARLIER?

THE SISTER?
YEAH, I GOT SOME NEWS.

I'LL KEEP MY EYES OPEN..

THANK YOU.

PARALYZED?

FOR GOOD?

IT'S TOO EARLY TO SAY

IF HE'S GOING TO HAVE
ANY RECOVERY OF FUNCTION.

OH, DEAR GOD.

WHAT DID HE THINK
HE WAS DOING?

HE WAS TRYING TO
SAVE A BOY'S LIFE.

I KNOW.

YOUR HUSBAND IS EAGER
TO TALK TO YOU.

IT HAS TO BE BRIEF.

I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE
IN THOSE SHOES.

WHOSE SHOES, MARK'S
OR THE WIFE'S?

NEITHER.

( Luis clears
his throat )

SOMETIMES I HESITATE WITH A
FAMILY BEFORE I GIVE THE NEWS.

I KNOW I'M GOING
TO SAY SOMETHING

THAT WILL CHANGE
THEIR LIVES FOREVER.

YOU JUST THINK THAT
IF YOU DON'T SAY IT

IT WILL BE OKAY FOR
A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.

I TOLD THIS ONE MOTHER
THAT HER SON HAD BEEN KILLED

AND SHE SAID, "IS IT BROKEN?"

I-I GUESS I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT SHE WAS SAYING.

SO SHE SAID,
"HIS ARM, IS IT BROKEN?

'CAUSE HE'S PITCHING TOMORROW."

THEN SHE JUST WALKED AWAY.

DID YOU JUST LET
HER LEAVE LIKE THAT?

NO, NO, I CALLED CAROL;
I HAD HER TAKE CARE OF IT.

AT LEAST WE SHOT
THOSE VIDEOS OF US

ON THE PLAYGROUND,
ME AND HIM, HUH?

THEO...

IT'S A GOOD THING.

T.J. WILL BE ABLE TO SEE
WHAT HIS DADDY USED TO BE LIKE.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE
THAT WAY AGAIN.

YOU HEAR ME?

WE ARE NOT GIVING UP
THAT EASY.

HIS BLOOD GAS
SHOWED pO2 65
AND pCO2 50.

WE'RE STANDING BY
WITH VERSED.

DR. GREENE,
DR. CARTER NEEDS YOU!

I'LL BE THERE
IN A MINUTE.

I'M AFRAID WE HAVE
TO INTERRUPT.

JUST ANOTHER MINUTE,
PLEASE?

CAN YOU GET SOMEBODY TO
DRIVE HER HOME, PLEASE?

THEO, STOP BOSSING
ME AROUND.

I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE.

PULSE OX IS DOWN TO 89.

HE'S GETTING DUSKY.

TWO OF VERSED.

WE CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.

ONCE THIS SEDATIVE TAKES EFFECT,
I'LL INTUBATE YOUR HUSBAND.

THEO, WHEN YOU WAKE UP

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A TUBE
HELPING YOU TO BREATHE.

MARK, YOU MIND
IF WE INTERRUPT?

MISS CRUZ WANTED
TO LET YOU KNOW

HER BROTHER CAME
OUT OF SURGERY.

THE HEAD C.T. SHOWED NO
BLEEDING IN THE BRAIN.

THAT IS REALLY GOOD NEWS.
THANK YOU.

THE BOY'S GOING TO BE OKAY?

YES, SIR.
THANK YOU.

YOU SAVED MY
BROTHER'S LIFE.

THAT'S GOOD.

CAN YOU FEEL THAT, HONEY?

OH, YEAH.

Greene:
I'M IN.

IS HE BREATHING?

WE'RE BREATHING
FOR HIM NOW.

Malik:
DR. GREENE, LOOK,
YOU NEED TO COME NOW!

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT HAPPENED?
CLEAR!

HE WENT INTO FIB;
I'VE SHOCKED HIM FIVE TIMES.

HE WENT INTO ASYSTOLE.

I'VE GIVEN HIGH-DOSE
EPI AND ATROPINE.

CHARGE IT AGAIN, MALIK, 360!

WHY DIDN'T
YOU CALL ME?
I DID.

YEAH, TWO MINUTES AGO.

CLEAR! I WAS FOLLOWING
THE A.C.L.S. ALGORITHMS.

I THOUGHT I COULD HANDLE IT.

CHARGE IT AGAIN, MALIK!
GO AHEAD
AND CALL IT.

CLEAR!

CALL IT, DR. CARTER!

NO RHYTHM.

TIME OF DEATH IS 9:56.

CALL AN ATTENDING WHEN
THERE'S A FULL ARREST.

YOU DON'T PLAY THE HERO.

I'VE RUN THEM BEFORE.

THAT WAS UP
IN SURGERY.

YOU WORK
HERE NOW.

DID I MISS ANYTHING?

NOT THAT I CAN SEE.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T THINK
I WAS GOING TO LOSE HIM.

I'LL SIGN THE CODE SHEET.

I'LL DO IT.

Greene:
YOU WANT THAT INTERVIEW?

Agi:
YES.

DO YOU?

YOU WILLING TO ANSWER
OUR QUESTIONS?

IF YOU WON'T USE
WHAT YOU JUST SHOT.

Luis:
THE WALK-AWAY?

THE WHOLE THING--
HIM LOSING THE PATIENT

ME CHEWING HIM OUT.

IT WASN'T BAD.

WANT THE INTERVIEW?
YES.

I NEED A DEATH KIT IN HERE.

PROBABLY THE BEST PART
OF MY JOB

IS THAT SOMETIMES, WORKING HERE,
YOU CAN REPAIR THE VIOLENCE--

SOME OF THE BAD THINGS
THAT HAPPEN TO PEOPLE.

NOT ALWAYS.

WE COULDN'T DO MUCH FOR THAT GUY
WHO WAS PARALYZED

PROBABLY ON A VENT
FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

I GUESS WE DID SAVE THE KID
THAT HE WAS TRYING TO HELP.

SO, HIS SACRIFICE
WASN'T FOR NOTHING.

AND, YES...

I WAS ATTACKED MYSELF
RIGHT HERE IN THIS HOSPITAL.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO CATCH THE GUY WHO DID IT

OR AT LEAST THEY HAVEN'T BEEN
ABLE TO CHARGE ANYONE.

THE WORST THING ABOUT IT
ISN'T WHAT IT DID TO ME.

THE WORST THING IS...
THAT IT MEANT THAT SOME

OF THE WORLD'S VIOLENCE
HAS LEAKED INTO OUR OWN E.R.

THIS IS MEANT TO BE A SAFE PLACE
FOR FIXING PEOPLE.

NOW IT'S VULNERABLE.

AND AS AN E.R. DOCTOR,
THAT'S HARD TO ACCEPT.

Agi:
SOUNDS FRIGHTENING.

ARE YOU SCARED?

SURE.

OF, UH, LOSING CONTROL.

CONTROL OF
WHAT'S OUTSIDE?

AND WHAT'S IN ME.

IS THAT ENOUGH?

YES.

THEN TURN IT OFF.
