Sounds awful.

The electrolyte drinks too.
Get to work.

It's not "I'm hungry"
or "I'm tired."

It's new.

- Okay.
I know, I know, Axel.

You're in pain and my touching
you is only making it worse.

Any changes
in his sleep pattern?

- No.
Every baby book I read said

put your child on a schedule
and stick to it.

- Been there.
My son's almost four.

I know, I know.
Almost finished.

Okay.
What about diet?

- I had to start using formula.

Just not enough hours
in the day

to pump, work, nurse,
do laundry, pump again.

- Single mom?
Yeah, me too.

Dad still in the picture?
- No, but I'm okay with it.

- Well, I'm not seeing anything
out of the ordinary.

I mean, the switch
from breast milk to formula

could be upsetting
Axel's stomach.

Have you noticed
any diarrhea since the change?

- Here and there.

But this cry has been
consistent for the last month.

- I'll test for allergies,
but infants and crying--

- Don't say colic.

I've been
to three pediatricians.

They all diagnosed colic
and sent me home.

[baby babbles]

No.
Something else is going on.

Run tests, X-rays, scans.
Just please, figure it out.

- Okay, well,
why don't we start

with some basic labs
and go from there?

Is that okay?

- Sure.
Thank you.

- I'll send a nurse in

- Thank you.

Hey, Jamie, you hungry?
Thirsty?

I know your casts are bulky.
I can help you.

- Hi.
Nice to meet you.

I didn't mean to hurt him.

I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.
Okay, okay.

.

- Well, after two miscarriages
and five failed IVF attempts,

we'd had enough heartbreak.

- We adopted Jamie
when he was a few days old.

Best day of our lives.

- Do you know anything
about his birth parents?

- Nothing really.
Mom was young, in foster care.

We don't know
anything about dad.

- Well, Jamie's 11 now,

so how old was he when
he first started acting out?

- As an infant,
he didn't like being held.

Was always fidgety.
- Hmm, how about as a toddler?

- Sitting still, taking turns,
following directions,

they were all a challenge.

- When did Jamie's behavior
start becoming aggressive?

- Elementary school.

Fights with classmates
and teachers.

We're homeschooling now.

- And your other son, Dylan,
is he adopted as well?

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

It was initially Jamie's idea.
He wanted to be a big brother.

- And in the beginning, Dylan's
presence seemed to calm Jamie.

He would push his stroller,
feed him his bottle,

let him climb all over him.

- They are so--
were so close.

- I'm assuming that
Jamie's been evaluated

by a psychiatrist.

- Several.

They all just head
to the diagnosis.

Intermittent
explosive disorder,

comorbid ADHD,

disruptive mood
dysregulation disorder.

- Tell me, what meds
is he on right now?

- Risperidone, valproic acid,
lithium, Adderall, Tenex.

They all work for a bit,
but then--

- He always ends up
in his dark place.

- Yeah.

[knocks]

- Mr. and Mrs. Shaw,
Dylan's out of surgery.

I'll take you to recovery.

- Look, what I'd like to do

is admit Jamie
for a five day hold.

That'll give us a chance
to assess the situation

and come up with some
treatment options for you.

- Anything.
Please, just help him.

- Yeah.

[somber music]

♪

[knocks]

- Shh.
He's out.

Cried himself to sleep.
What'd the tests say?

- The labs were normal.

But the babygram revealed
a mild bowel distention.

There are no obstructions.

However, the stool
in Axel's diaper was watery.

That suggests a GI issue.

- Okay.
What do you do for that?

- Endoscopy.

So under a general anesthesia,

a surgeon will guide
a camera down Axel's throat

into his GI tract
to search for abnormalities.

And if necessary,
we'll do a colonoscopy as well.

- Mm.
Can I be there?

- I wouldn't recommend that.

I mean, seeing the scope inside
Axel, it might be upsetting.

- No, I really wanna be there.
- Are you sure?

Because I can't overstate
how distressing

this procedure can be
for a parent to watch.

I mean, seeing your child
on the table, unconscious--

- I'll be okay.

- All right.

Techs will be by shortly
to bring up Axel.

I'll be there as well.

- Signed.
- Thank you.

- Hey, Doris.

Julia, the mom in Treatment
III, did you get a read?

- I like her.

I wish all parents would
handle the ED that smoothly.

- You don't think
she's too composed?

I mean, her son is
clearly in distress

and she hasn't even
broken a sweat.

- Oh, there's that
Manning ESP again.

- Okay.

She asked me to run more tests
on her baby than necessary,

and now she wants to be
front row when he gets scoped.

You don't think
that's a little odd?

- Uh, if you say so.

- Call Dr. Frisch.

I wanna put Axel on today's
schedule for an endoscopy.

- She's busy.
Omphalocele repair.

Gonna be locked away all day.

But I'm free to take care of it
right now if you'd like.

Thanks.

and esophagus appear normal.

Let's reset for a colonoscopy.

- Julia, are you okay?

You don't have
to keep watching, you know.

- No, I'm okay.

It's just I have a scrape
on my stomach.

I forgot to change the bandage

and it's beginning
to slide around.

- Why don't I have a nurse
change that out for you

when we're back in the ED?

- Oh, okay.
Yeah.

Thanks.
- Yeah.

myself right there.

I don't know how.
Mom brain, I guess.

- Ooh, ooh.
Right there.

Sharp or dull pain, Chloe?

- I think both.
Is that even possible?

- Unfortunately.

How long have you
been feeling off?

- I don't know.
A couple weeks?

- Three months.
She downplays everything.

- [laughs]
We just got married.

I figured the pain
was just nervous energy,

but the wedding's behind us now
and I still feel "blah."

Bloating?

- She hasn't pooped in a week.

to take a closer look

to see what's going on.

We'll get some X-rays,
a pelvic and a rectal.

is that your son is struggling

with multiple impulse control
and mood regulation disorders.

- So what do we do?
We just want to help him.

- Well, it's the hospital's
recommendation

that Jamie be admitted
to a residential facility

where he can receive
sustained clinical care

as well as supportive therapy.

- A residential facility?
- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.
Mrs. Shaw, Jamie is 11.

Puberty is fast approaching.

And that surge of hormones

is just gonna undoubtedly
exacerbate his conditions.

It'll just make him more
difficult to treat in general.

You know, find
the right balance of meds.

- And a specialized setting
like this will have

the behavioral resources
Jamie needs for the future.

And it'll be a safe place
for him right now.

putting pressure on the rectum.

I believe
removing it surgically

is the best course
of treatment.

- A myomectomy?
By who, when?

- Me.
Today.

- Chloe, David, you should know
this surgery can be risky.

- Yes, I've explained the pros
and cons, Dr. Halstead.

Was clear that while
this is a big operation,

it's also a common one.

- Nevertheless,
complications could rise.

So I would suggest
non-surgical options.

Hormone therapy
will shrink the fibroid.

- Well, that's what
Dr. Asher said.

But to ensure
that it doesn't grow back,

Chloe would have to go
on the pill.

- We're anxious
to start a family.

The pill takes that
off the table.

- In the short term, yes.
But not permanently.

- Actually, it kind of does.

I'm 41, Dr. Halstead.

Our window for getting pregnant
is already closing.

Check with Dr. Asher.

- Again?

I've already gone in there
twice for you, Dr. Halstead.

- Please, I'm treating
Chloe in the ED.

I just want to make sure
Dr. Asher's

got everything under control.

- Fine.
- Thank you.

[elevator dinging]

- Hey, I got your page.

- You have a new plan
to help Jamie?

- Yeah.
Yep, I do.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw,

I have given this
a tremendous amount of thought.

I've consulted with--
with numerous colleagues,

with social workers,

with our Executive Director
of Patient Services.

Jamie needs to be
at the Meyerbrook

Residential Facility.

- So the insurance companies,
they agreed to pay?

- No.

Both your private insurance
and Medicaid won't budge.

- Then I'm confused.

- There is a way
to force Medicaid

to cover Meyerbrook's cost
in full.

It's called
a psychiatric lockout.

But it will require you

to surrender Jamie
to this hospital.

- Surrender?
I don't understand.

- If you were to leave Jamie
here and refuse to come back,

Child Protective Services would
have to take custody of him.

Then, as a ward of the state,
legally, Illinois would have

to provide him with the mental
health services that he needs.

- Meyerbrook?
- This is insane.

We're not doing this.
- So there's no other way?

- I'm so sorry,
but there just isn't.

We would absolutely find a way
for you to maintain contact

with Jamie,
but you also need to know

that legally, you won't have
any say in his care.

be abandoning him.

This--this won't be forever.

- Jamie needs us to do this.

- When?

- I cannot imagine
how agonizing

this decision must be.

But the sooner
Jamie starts to heal,

How?

She was driving down
the highway alone in the car.

- The steep angle of entry
shows that the bullet struck

from above and launched
into Lucy's pelvis.

It severed
her external iliac artery.

- Shot from above?
- Yes.

Now, the police
will run ballistics.

But they believe,
and science backs it up,

that someone,
somewhere in the city,

fired a gun into the air.

it struck Lucy.

Somewhere.

But now I know
you really aren't worried.

And I suspect you've never felt
anxious, depressed,

- Kind of feels like this is

Okay.

So when I had my son,
labor was a beast.

Intense pressure,
cramps, spasms.

But you didn't feel
any of that, did you?

- Nope.

Whole thing just
kind of tingled.

But I've always had an
extremely high pain tolerance.

I know.

There's something wrong
with me, right?

My friends have been
saying it forever.

Wait, is there
something wrong with me?

- No.

No, but there is something
missing from you.

So we all have what's called
a FAAHP1 pseudogene.

Your preliminary blood work
shows that you have a rare

microdeletion which affects
your insensitivity to pain.

my dad would say
everyone else were wimps.

That we were a hardy breed,
that pain was just a word.

- Well, microdeletion
is a genetic thing.

So it's likely that your father
and other family members

have it as well.
