'Previously, on St Elsewhere.'

Jack, your wife has had an accident.

Accident?

Nina's dead, Jack. What?

I'll do anything to keep living just as long as I can.

I've only got two options.

I can let her die, or I can do a heart transplant.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've just received a call from Porter General. We have a heart.

All right!

'Tonight, on St Elsewhere.'

I am performing this heart transplant in 30 minutes.

I'll expect 12 pints of A-blood in the OR when I get there!

We're going to be rich.

I'm going to go and call my broker right now.

And how are you guys making all this money?

Silver futures.

You're crazy.

We've got it all figured out. It's a one day trade. We can't miss.

Since you've arrived, you've given us nothing but ultimatums, and it makes things very difficult.

Big shot, saving people's lives. I couldn't even save my own wife.

Jack, it was not your fault.

It was a stupid accident!

Mike, I don't want to die.

I won't let you die.

ALARM

Cardiac arrest.

Ehrlich, begin cardiac massage. I don't want to lose her. Hurry!

15 pints in the entire hospital?

How the hell did we get so low?

Our supply is still down from summer. We haven't had...

You're in charge of the blood bank. Why wasn't it built back up?

It takes time.

Besides, our levels are practically the lowest in the city.

It's always been that way.

That's no excuse. I need six pints just to prime the bypass machine.

I know that.

What if she haemorrhages? What about post-op complications?

I'm trying to tell you...

No, I'm telling you.

Now, I am performing this heart transplant in 30 minutes.

I'll expect 12 pints of A-blood in the OR when I get there.

(TANNOY) 'Dr Mark Craig...'

Oh, for the love of...

Craig. What is it?

Absolutely not! I'm in OR 2.

I know the lighting is better in 2. That's why I'm using it!

He's doing a double hernia, for crying out loud.

He ought to be able to do that in the dark!

You tell Hoffman he uses 1, or nothing.

Ah, Dr Craig.

What is it, Ehrlich?

I just want to let you know the support team is assembled and ready.

I'm aware of that.

Mrs Leighton has been prepped and moved to pre-op.

Try telling me something I don't know, like what about the blood?

The blood, sir?

There's a shortage of A-.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that.

Ehrlich, I picked you for this job because I thought you could handle it.

Making sure there's an adequate supply of blood for the operation

is a part of that job.

I'm not assisting you, you're assisting me!

Yes, sir. I want to.

Well, then, do it!

Right.

California mentality. No sense of responsibility.

Donald. Yes, Mark, what is it?

We're down to 15 pints of A-.

I have no intention of going in that OR and run short.

Now, don't worry about it.

I'm going to make sure you get everything you need.

Any other problems?

Nothing out of the ordinary for this scrap hold.

Has the transport team left Porter General yet?

The cardiectomy should be done in a few minutes, and then they'll leave in ten.

Excellent. Everything's timing out perfectly. Good thing, too.

This way I don't have a chance to get too keyed up.

See you later.

Good luck.

Excuse me.

Hello?

I'm here for Nina Morrison.

To identify her.

I'm her husband.

She was brought in earlier this morning.

She's gone to the OR.

What?

That's what it says.

Is she alive?

You'd better speak with Dr Byerly. Just a minute.

No, wait a minute.

Dr Byerly?

Mr Morrison.

Huh?

I'm Dr Byerly.

Where's my wife?

When I admitted her this morning, there was...

Is she alive?

Well, no.

Then what the hell is she doing in the OR?

Well, I'm sure you're aware your wife designated herself as an organ donor.

I want to see her chart.

Well, it won't make much sense to you.

Mr Morrison, your wife's injuries were quite extensive.

Did she respond any deep-pain stimuli?

No.

Then why isn't it charted?

It is.

Nothing is here.

I know, I'm a doctor.

Then you're aware those things aren't always written down...

Did she respond any stimulus or not?

No.

Are you sure you didn't miss anything?

I'm positive. There was decorticate posturing.

Did you get a CAT scan?

It wasn't necessary.

You were supposed to save her life!

Your wife was in deep shock when they brought her in.

She'd lost over four units of blood, had no BP and a heart rate of 40.

Now, we didn't even have a chance to get her stabilised

before she flat-lined.

The EEG failed to show any wave patterns.

There was nothing more anyone could do.

I'm sorry.

What do you mean, free money?

I'm telling you, silver is in for a long-overdue correction,

and we're talking big bucks.

Yeah, what makes you so sure?

You follow the charts and you pick your timing right,

it's practically a lark.

There's no such thing.

I know this guy who got heavy into bean futures, or something.

Even mortgaged his house against this big deal he said couldn't miss.

Now he lives with his wife and kids in a three-room flat on Comm Avenue.

Things like that can happen, but only if you're a stupid player.

You have to pick your spots, like a good running back.

I'm in on a day train.

That means by four o'clock, I'm out, profit in hand.

What do you figure you'll make?

Three or four.

Hundred?

Sterns.

Thousand?

There something I can do for you?

Oh, no, sorry.

Explain how this works again, from the beginning.

OK, Sterns.

And slowly.

You know, sometimes, you're a real dim lightbulb.

&lt Now, let's say you have a few thousand put aside

and you want to invest, maybe in precious metal.

Right.

You've got two choices, options or futures.

Me, I'd choose options. They're less risky. You have a limited...

How do I look?

Beautiful. How are you feeling?

Shaking.

Everything's going to be fine, I promise.

You sound pretty confident

for someone who's never done this before.

I am.

You know, I remember lying here a year ago,

just before you did my bypass.

You kept baiting me about school desegregation.

Picked a heck of a time to start an argument.

We weren't arguing, we were debating.

I remember you became rather adamant about your position.

And rather loud, too.

But you finally agreed with me.

It was the only way I could get you into the OR.

I'm afraid I'm not going to come through the operation.

I'll never wake up again.

Mark, I don't want to die.

I won't let you die.

Look, Mr Czeski, I have nothing against hot dogs. &gt.

In fact, I love them, &gt

but you can't wheel your cart through the Emergency Room. &gt.

Never mind my cart. Will you look at my arm?

Just leave this here.

No, my cart travels with me.

&lt Fiscus, we've got to talk!

Luther, I'm busy.

No, this can't wait.

This can't, either. Will you look at this arm?

You need any help?

Yeah, I need help. A couple of young punks, they tried to rob me.

They cut my arm bad, and this boy's just standing around arguing!

No, Mr Czeski, I was not arguing.

Are you calling me a liar?

No, I didn't. Shut up!

Don't you tell me to shut up!

Hold it, now! Hold it, now.

Mr Czeski, I will take care of your arm for you. Come with me.

Yeah, what about my cart?

Jenny, will you come and watch this man's cart? Mr Czeski, come with me.

What?!

Fiscus, we've got to talk.

This better be important, Luther.

It is. Listen to this.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

Ladies and gentlemen, we've all worked hard to get here.

Waiting on call for a donor for the past two weeks

wasn't simply an exercise in patience.

This is it.

It's going down.

We have an opportunity to extend this woman's life,

and by God, we're going to make sure we do it.

I want this operation to be flawless.

We're a team, we're to function as a team.

Now, each one of us has a job to do.

If, at some point, you don't feel up to the challenge,

drop back, let someone else step in.

This is a long and gruelling operation.

I believe we have the skill and dedication to make it work.

Now let's prove it. Dr Morgan, may I come in?

Yes, doctor. Patient is stable.

Scalpel.

Sternum saw.

REPORTERS CHATTER

Excuse me. Who are all these people?

Reporters covering the transplant.

I wonder if there's one from The Globe?

I want to complain about my paperboy.

Good luck.

OK, bye-bye.

Hello, Louise.

How are you feeling?

Now Dr Gavin's filled you in on the procedures,

is there anything you'd like to talk to me about? No.

Are you sure?

It's very simple.

They just put me under, cut my breast off and stitch me up.

I just don't believe it.

I'm only 29 years old.

This isn't supposed to be happening to me.

I told this one guy that I go out with

that I was losing a breast to cancer.

You should have seen his face.

How did I complain then?

I know it's hard from where you are now to think you'll ever adjust,

but it gets easy.

Or maybe it was easy for you.

You know, you're already married, you have a family.

Helps, but...

you'd be surprised how much support you'll find out there.

But, even so, don't you worry about the cancer coming back?

Sure.

You can't stand still.

Louise, I know it's hard to believe, but life goes on.

Oh, well, guess I'll have to consider the alternative.

And, after a while, you'll see there are options available.

You know, Dr Gavin talked to me about having reconstructive surgery.

Did you find that it helped you?

I haven't had it done.

Why not?

I don't know.

Then what are we talking about here?

Options and alternatives?

What right do you have to give me all this motherly advice

when you haven't done anything about it yourself?

Just get out of here. Go away, please.

I don't know, Luther. It sounds risky.

Risky?

Silver prices have been down for a week now.

As soon as they announce the money supply and numbers,

that'll be the knockout punch.

We stand to make 5,000 big ones.

You heard what the man said.

What makes him the expert?

The man was betting 800 in his trades.

I mean, I'd take those odds any time.

Then I say do it.

All right!

But not with my money.

What?

Pass. You want a hot dog?

You know, you don't know what it's like, growing up where I did.

Being black and short.

I mean, my future doesn't look all that bright.

You know, Fiscus, you and I are from two different worlds.

You've gotten all the right breaks.

I mean, plenty of money, nice home, good schools.

Remember taking the College Boards and thinking, "Where should I go"?

"Yale? Princeton? Harvard?"

I never even got a chance to take them.

The only boards I was knocking down

was the ones at the unemployment office.

You see, you got a bright future ahead of you.

You got nowhere to go but up, you being a doctor, and all.

And someday, someday, you're going to make 80 grand for telling people,

"Take two aspirins and call me in the morning."

But me? Well, I won't get me the chances.

Nope.

And you can bet, when opportunity comes knocking around my door,

I'm going to open up and let it in.

I put up 80%, right?

$3,600. I'll do the other 20%.

And we're out by the end of the day?

Absolutely.

You got a deal.

You won't be sorry, Fiscus.

We're going to be rich.

I'm going to go call my broker, right now.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

Now, here, the procedure differs slightly

from Lower and Shumway's description.

Isn't that right, Dr Ehrlich?

Yes, sir, that's right. I know it well.

Then you might as well talk us through it

for those who are not so familiar.

The procedure?

OK, erm, unlike Lower and Shumway's technique of orthotopic

transplantation, Dr Craig will be leaving the posterior walls

of the right and left atria in place with their Venus connections.

Make sure the ascending aorta stays in place.

I've got it.

Er, then Dr Craig will suture the corresponding structures

of the residual atria.

Cut.

And finally, Dr Craig will anastomose the great vessels,

end-to-end anastomosis of the aorta of the pulmonary artery.

Don't do that here, please.

Use the stairwell, like everyone else.

Dr Westphall?

The conference room's full of reporters waiting for bulletins on the transplant,

so the mayor thought this would be the obvious time

to announce the success of our health service's task force.

He thinks it's a success, does he?

Well, of course.

We're doing the first heart transplant in St Eligius' history,

while still managing to significantly reduce expenditures.

Now, look.

You and I both know that that's a lop-sided way of looking

at what's been happening here since the mayor appointed you.

The detrimental effects far outweigh the positive, and I'm tired of it.

I'd appreciate you delivering the hourly bulletins to the reporters.

There'll also be a press conference right after the surgery.

You, Dr Auschlander and Dr Craig should be there.

We'll do our best.

Helen.

I'm going to need continuous updates on the transplant

for the news people downstairs.

Lucky you(!)

Yeah.

Jack, what are you doing here?

I want to talk about my schedule.

It can wait.

No, it can't.

I want to keep working.

Come on, let's go into my office.

Jack, I really think you ought to consider taking some time off.

I don't want to.

I just want to change my schedule.

Look, I understand.

I don't...

I'm sorry, I don't want to stop working.

I can't go home.

I can't face the fact that Nina is not going to be there.

Believe me, this is the last place I thought I'd want to be,

but I've got no place else to go.

Now, look, Jack.

I'm not asking you to leave,

but you've been going through a hell of a lot,

and until you've had some time to deal with that,

I can't allow you to go on treating patients.

I'm sorry.

Nurse Rosenthal.

Hello, Claire.

I got here as fast as I could.

How is my sister? Is she all right?

Eve's fine. They took her to surgery two hours ago.

I just spoke to her on the phone a little while ago.

She didn't say anything about it.

No, I'm sure she didn't know then.

I haven't even reached my husband yet. Do you know how much longer she'll be?

Quite a while. Why don't you go and get some rest?

Oh, no, no. I have to stay.

I'm sure Dr Craig will find you when it's over.

Why don't you wait down the hall?

Right.

Well, he was told he'd have 30 days to file an appeal.

It's been a month and a half.

No, you tell him to call me directly.

Right.

See you in 20 minutes. Bye.

No fun being the heavy.

Don't start. I'm not in the mood.

You in the mood for lunch?

I can't. I've got too much to do with this press conference.

Could you put that thing out? It stinks.

Sorry.

I thought this was my office.

You know smoking drives me crazy, and you still keep puffing away.

It's one of the most filthy...

Stop, already, will you? I put it out.

Well, you should quit.

I've tried.

Maybe you haven't tried hard enough.

See you tonight?

Yeah. I'll make dinner.

Good.

Your moustache smells and you taste terrible, too.

DOOR BANGS

I should have been there.

Jack.

If I'd been there, none of this would have happened.

But you weren't.

Yeah, because I was here!

Like every other morning.

While she was feeding Peter, getting ready to go to the sitter's

so she could go to work, I was here.

And for what?

So I can be a big hotshot?

Big hotshot, save people's lives. I couldn't even save my own wife.

Jack, it was not your fault.

She fell in the bathroom and hit her head.

It was a stupid accident.

If I'd been there to help, it would not have happened!

She wouldn't have been running around,

doing everything herself, because I could have helped.

I should have been there.

God.

I'm sorry.

It's going to be all right.

Immediate post-op care is similar to that of other major cardiac surgery.

George.

Body temperature's 86.

Good. I'll defibrillate at 20 watts per second.

Sometimes the heart begins a regular rhythm of its own.

Possibly, you'll get a tachycardia, but in most cases,

you'll have to defibrillate.

MACHINE BEEPS

Ready.

Clear.

MACHINE SHOCKS

Start an IV of isopro, 1 to 1,000.

This will stimulate the heart and improve cardiac output.

We'll also initiate immunosuppressive therapy.

MACHINE BUZZES

Cardiac arrest.

Damn.

Give me 20 watts per second, stat.

Ready.

Clear.

Begin cardiac massage.

Give me a shot of epinephrine, stat.

Start the isopro drip, 1 to 1,000.

I don't want to lose her, damn it. Hurry!

Defibrillate again, 20 watts per second.

MACHINE BEEPS

Ready, Doctor.

Clear.

Blood pressure 120/80, heart rate 74 and regular, ventilation adequate.

All right. While bringing the body back to normal temperature,

we need to check for residual bleeding,

especially from the aorta, and get her off the pump.

Vijay, what's bothering you?

I'm all right, thanks.

Are you still upset because Craig didn't pick you

for the support team?

Yeah, a tad.

Come on, don't let it bother you.

You know, he didn't invite me for the party,

and he never calls on me for his lectures, and now this.

You think it means something?

He's forgotten your name.

Hey, hey, hey! Am I in time?

Be our guest, Luther.

Did you buy it?

We've owned a 5,000 oz silver future for almost three hours now.

And?

How are we doing?

Don't know, I'm waiting to hear the financial news.

When did the MX figures come out?

M1, M1.

Might as well be MX, it's going to rocket us to another tax bracket.

And how are you guys going to make all this money?

Silver futures. We bought the right to sell silver at a certain...

Here it is, here it is!

'..While the beans and bellies, having broken their declining tops.'

What does he mean by beans and bellies?

Sssh!

'..Metal prices. Both gold and silver

'opened sharply lower this morning in moderate trading.

'Due to higher interest rates, many traders are selling short,

'anticipating higher money supply figures

'throughout late this afternoon.

'Gold is currently down 560, while silver,

'with a limit at $1 today, is down 52 cents.'

What did I tell you? What did I tell you?

As soon as the prices drop, we sell.

Run to the bank.

Yeah, we talk about megabucks!

You know, I heard someplace that 80% of all commodity trades go south.

Who asked you?

Excuse me.

How's your work going at the breast clinic?

Well, I like the preventive clinic and the group sessions are fine,

but one-to-one is rough.

A patient on my floor, Louise Garrison,

she's due for a mastectomy tomorrow, young girl.

I'm worried about her.

I tried telling her about reconstruction, but...

Want me to have a talk with her?

Yeah, maybe, in a few days.

What do you normally say to your patients?

That I think it can be wonderful.

Never a dissatisfied customer.

Sure, that happens, but the majority of women who undergo

the procedure have their lives changed for the better.

Really?

The techniques that are developed are amazing.

It's not just a mound of silicone.

We can rebuild a whole new breast with a nipple

that looks and feels just like a natural breast.

Maybe to you.

Well, couldn't be worse than my prosthesis.

Feels like a bra full of wet sand.

Maybe you ought to consider an implant for yourself.

My husband's all for it, if that's what I want.

What do you want?

I don't know.

But I'll think about it.

I'd better be going, or I'll be late for the clinic.

Thanks.

You got a minute? I've got to talk to you.

Sure, but I'm parked in a no-smoking,

so can you walk and talk?

Yeah, sure.

You keep a pretty close eye on the stock market, don't you?

I always see you reading

the business section of the newspaper, right?

Well, I'm really a millionaire, Fiscus. I just do this for a hobby.

No, seriously.

You see, I'm thinking of trading my silver future for an option.

What are you talking about?

Luther Hawkins and I got in on a 5,000 oz silver contract.

You're crazy!

We've got it all figured out. It's a one-day trade. We can't miss!

Listen, take a little piece of friendly advice.

Don't do what you don't know. Go call your broker and get out.

Bobby, clearly, you don't understand...

No, clearly I do understand.

A few years back, I made this...

Forget it. It's none of my business, OK?

Wait a minute, finish the story.

No, I shouldn't have said anything. Do you know what you're doing?

Well, I mean, we're colleagues, sort of,

and I want to hear what you have to say.

All right.

A few years ago, I did this commodities deal.

I had it all worked out, figured I'd make a bundle, you know,

move down to San Diego, open up a small private practice.

Figured I couldn't lose.

I got killed by a margin call, and lost 20 grand.

Yeah, but...

Early detection, leading to diagnosis and treatment &gt

is your best hope for the control of breast cancer. &gt

I can't stress enough the importance of at-home self-examination.

Almost 90% of all breast cancer symptoms are discovered

in this way, and if you catch it in its early stages, you have a chance

to save breast tissue, and possibly eliminate the cancer entirely.

Had I been conducting my own exam on a regular basis, once a month,

for just a few minutes, I probably wouldn't have had to lose my breast.

And I'm a nurse. I should have known better.

Take the time to do it.

If it's a chore, ask your lover to help.

Now we're going to watch a tape from the American Cancer Society

on self-examination, and afterwards we can talk about it.

Could you get the lights?

Luther, where have you been?

I've been leaving messages for you all over the place.

I've been out, adding to my wardrobe.

Who says you can't buy off the rack?

Luther, I called Weinstock at the commodity house,

and I sold our contract.

What?

Talking to Caldwell...

Caldwell?!

What does he know about anything? He ain't even hardly a real doctor!

We were way in over our heads, and I saved us a lot of money.

I can't believe this is happening.

You're nuts, you know that? You're crazy.

Just when the goose was about to lay the golden egg,

you had to go and cook it!

Man, you're crazy! Real crazy!

I can't believe it!

You call yourself a doctor? Oh!

Oh!

I want to thank you all.

You've managed to perform beyond what I anticipated.

You all deserve to be congratulated.

George, what have you got?

BP steady, 110/65.

Arterial blood gas is normal.

Excellent.

Dr Craig, next to tissue rejection by the host, what's

the biggest problem to be overcome in respect of heart transplants?

The public's ignorance, and their reluctance to participate as a donor.

From what I can see, the tissue is more cooperative.

How many of you here remember receiving your donor consent forms,

the ones that were sent out along with your driver's license?

Did you bother to sign them and send them back?

Suction.

Dr Morgan, how's she doing?

Everything looks normal.

It's going to be a smooth landing.

If you didn't sign them,

and you die, you might as well leave your body to the vultures.

You either look at organ donation as preserving the dead

or perpetuating the living.

I believe that life should be passed on.

What's the history of this donor?

Dr Morgan, read the history, please.

Cause of death, severe head trauma,

resulting in massive brain haemorrhage.

Admitted Porter General ER 9:17am, time of death, 9:30am.

Donor white female, weight 125 lbs, age 28,

name, Morrison, Nina I.

Cut.

Jack.

I'm sorry about Nina.

You know, if there's anything I can do...

Yeah.

Yeah... Could you look on a Mr Cagino in 438?

Sure.

You know where Ehrlich is?

He's down in surgery.

They found a donor this morning for the heart transplant.

Jack, please.

All right, all right, all right.

Come on, take it easy.

OK.

I want to get her to the ICU as soon as possible.

Let me know immediately if there's any change in the status.

Yes, sir.

I'll be in Dr Westphall's office.

Mrs Leighton did very well.

The chances are good.

If it's any comfort, your wife has given that woman a second chance.

She's a living example of Nina's compassion for others.

I'm sorry.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Congratulations.

I hear Eve Leighton's doing very well.

Word travels fast.

Yeah, it's my hourly updates.

You should have seen her heart.

Practically fell apart in my hands.

The extent of ventricular necrosis was...

It's a wonder she lived this long.

Let's be thankful she did.

BUZZER

Yes?

Yes, he is.

OK, thank you.

The reporters are becoming impatient.

Donald, I know you've been at it all day with these guys,

but would you do me a favour and pinch it again?

Everything OK?

Well, I still have to get Eve to ICU, and rounds.

I just don't feel up to it.

I understand.

You know, I waited a long time for this day,

and it's hardly the way I thought it would be.

Sort of feel like a kid the day after Christmas.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Night, Betty. See you tomorrow.

Excuse me?

What? What do you want?

My cousin had a heart transplant today.

I was wondering if I could see her.

You'll have to check with the nurse at ICU.

Visitation's restricted.

But your cousin Claire's in the third floor waiting room.

Erm. Do you know how Eve is?

I understand she's doing well.

That's good news.

Mm-hmm.

What are you doing standing out here in the cold?

Just killing time.

Can't you find someplace warmer?

Well, actually, I'm out here

for what's supposed to be my last cigarette.

I've decided to quit smoking.

Well, if you stand out here much longer,

it very well could be your last cigarette.

Thought about what we said at lunch?

Yeah, a little. But I still don't think I want more surgery.

I guess you're the only one who's been able to make a decision today.

You'll know when you're ready.

I hope so. Good night.

Night, Helen.

We'd like to check in.

Something with a hot tub and women.

Yes, your best accommodation.

Luther, about me bailing out.

No prob.

I thought we were going to get killed.

No, don't worry about it.

I screwed it up.

Everything that you said was going to happen happened.

You're not mad?

Me? I feel like singing and dancing.

Well, we could go to my place and spin some discs.

No, thanks, Vijay. I don't think we're in the same kind of funk.

Wait a minute. What have you got to be so happy about?

Because we finally got ourselves a piece of the pie.

I got hold of Weinstock and bought another contract

before the market went down.

You didn't have enough money.

My man Vijay here came aboard and saved the day.

We did it!

Not quite as big as the two of you might have been.

But big enough. See you later, Fiscus.

Ciao.

Yeah, ciao.

You ever seen a stretch Caddy, Vijay?

No, I'm not into golf. But I'm willing to learn.

Are you sure you want to go through with this press conference?

I never miss the opportunity to be quilted.

That's good. You can do all the talking. I hate these things.

Dr Westphall, Dr Auschlander.

Where's Dr Craig?

Mark asked to be excused.

The reporters want to talk to the surgeon who performed the operation.

I would hope people would be more interested in the patient

than the doctor.

They probably are, but they want to hear about it from the doctor.

Six hours in the OR can be very exhausting,

and I know that if Mark felt up to it, he'd be here.

You don't think I care about St Eligius, do you?

I never said that.

You're convinced that all I want is to get my way,

no matter what the cost.

Well, it seems like it.

Since you've arrived, you've given us nothing but ultimatums,

and it makes things very difficult.

Joan, what Dr Westphall is saying is, so far,

our work together's hardly been what you'd call a collaborative effort.

Now, you've got a job to do, so do we,

so why not put, instead of bang our heads together,

while seeking what's best for all concerned?

We're going out to dinner later. Would you like to join us?

I'm sorry, I have other plans. Maybe another time?

Ladies and gentlemen, Drs Auschlander and Westphall.

You know something, Dr Craig?

What, Ehrlich?

I really admire you.

Thank you, Ehrlich.

That's the truth, I mean it.

Well, it's taken a lot of hard work.

I've committed my life to be the best surgeon possible.

Never stop reaching, and that's the best advice I can give you.

Her heart rate is up.

What's the blood pressure?

There's a lot of Pleur-evac drainage.

As soon as we get to the ICU, I want to administer protamine sulfate

to counteract the heparin she got in the OR.

OK, here we go.

Doctor, the BP's 80/50.

She may be bleeding. Open the IV.

We'll start dopamine in the ICU.

Get this guy out. Hey.

Will you get that guy out, for Pete's sake?

Call security!

She had some bleeding, but we've got it under control.

Everything's going to be fine.

She's a strong woman.

Can I stay with her a little while longer?

Well, just for a few minutes.

Then I suggest you get some rest. It's been a long day.

Thank you.

You know, you can't hold me like this. I know my rights.

I appreciate you getting up here so fast.

Is this going to take long?

You could have cost that woman her life!

Oh, come on. I just wanted a couple of pictures.

I freelance.

This stuff rings in pretty good change, you know.

You guys are incredible.

You're slugs, leeches.

You make a living exposing other people's pain,

invading their privacy.

What? Hey, are you crazy? Give me that!

Who do you think you are, coming up here like this?

Do you realise what that woman's been through?

A cold could kill her.

You can't do that!

Oh, no? I can do more than that!

HEART BEATS
