ANAESTHESIA

SUWAŁKI SPECIALIST HOSPITAL

What do you got?

65-year-old male, head trauma from a fall.

BP below a hundred.

Smells of alcohol.

You think? He's completely hammered.

Let's get him to tox STAT. Order a CT scan and page neuro for a consultation.

Okay, on three. One, two, three.

Sir? Are you with me?

-Tell me if this hurts, Mister… -Józef.

Right, Józef.

Does this hurt, Józef?

Uh-huh.

Acute abdomen.

Fluid in the abdomen. Take him to the OR, we need to operate now.

Looks like you've got Jagoda's drunk of a father again.

Surprise, surprise.

Yep.

Only been a year since his liver resection.

He's becoming a loyal customer.

I was gonna head out, but should I wait?

No, no, no…

Lord knows what I'll find in there.

You go on, get some sleep.

Something wrong with your eye?

What's it look like?

Lemme see it.

No. If anything, it's not in there anymore.

Patient is ready, Doctor.

You tell Agnieszka to put some eye drops in the doctor's eye.

-Sure thing. -Bye.

Bye.

Expect to be woken up when I get home!

He's bleeding out fast.

-Uh, we got extra units to spare? -Three of them on standby.

This isn't his first surgery here.

-He suffered a stabbing. -Mm.

A year ago.

Just as I thought. Spleen is ruptured.

Suction.

We're gonna perform a splenectomy.

Scissors.

Ligature.

And… got it.

Now lift it up.

You've got an opportunity here to see what 30 years of drinking will do to the body.

We've got bleeding.

Uh, the tie slipped.

Pressure's dropping.

Drape.

One more.

We're gonna have to transfix.

You take over.

I want you to tell me exactly what you're doing.

But I've never done it before.

Treat it like an exam. Do you want me to fail you?

Uh…

Clamp, please.

All right.

I am now transfixing the splenic artery to stop the bleeding.

Good.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Okay. Suction. Suction, here.

That's it.

Very well done.

Thank you.

Dad!

-Whoa, what happened to you? -Don't worry, it's okay.

It's nothing.

Did Mom go to bed already?

She wasn't feeling well, she said that her head hurt.

Well, don't worry.

Go to bed, I'll see you in the morning

Are you sure you're okay?

'Course I am, champ.

Hey, hey, what's going on?

It's nothing.

If it's the puke, it's been taken care of.

I'm in love with someone.

I never expected it.

I've been so lonely, I think I needed something to happen.

A guy I know?

How long's it been going on?

For two years.

For two years?

Two years…

It just happened, David.

In the beginning, I thought I…

I just wanted the adrenaline rush of an affair.

But we just… we kept getting closer…

I needed some attention. Everything…

Everything I felt was missing in my life, he gave it to me.

And does Franek know?

No.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

So, what happens now?

Is there… still a chance for us?

Basia, we have a son.

Is that why you want this to work, for our son?

Or do you still love me at all?

It's hard to love someone who cheats on you.

No harder than loving an absent husband.

Oh, don't turn this around on me.

I just couldn't bear it anymore.

I'm sorry, David.

How's this, chef?

Mmm… A bit more.

-Know what you wanna put in it? -Sugar!

Sugar? You can get sugar at school.

Here at home, your dad's put together a nice spread of cheese and fruit.

Look, you got marmalade there.

If you're gonna be difficult,

I'll have to make you a liverwurst sandwich next time.

You don't take the easy way out, do you, Dad?

Nope. Think fast!

Huh!

-Good morning. -Mom, did you see my catch?

-Wow! -Hi.

Coffee, thank God.

You sleep okay?

Did you?

-Mm-mm. -Well, there's your answer.

What's on the agenda?

You mean in the future?

For now.

Driving Franek to school.

And then go from there.

Who's to say, really?

Want a coffee?

Does it come with a shot of whiskey?

They removed his spleen. Right now he's stable

They told me you're the one who brought him in.

Is he conscious?

He's slowly coming down from the anesthesia.

Jagoda, this isn't your fault. He brought this on himself.

I wouldn't count him out just yet.

JÓZEF WILK BLISKA STREET 6

APPLICATION TO WITHDRAW COMPLAINT

I AGREE TO THE CONDITIONAL RELEASE OF MY SON

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COURT'S DECISION

Ostrołęka Penitentiary.

Will you accept this call?

Yes, I accept.

Marek, our father's in the hospital.

Okay. So?

He bite it?

No.

I'm gonna convince him to withdraw the application.

Jagoda, come on.

Why would you even wanna ask him for anything?

I wasn't planning on asking.

But if he's gonna be in here, I may as well make use of it.

No way, Jagoda. I will not be indebted to that bastard, not ever. Understand?

No fucking way!

I'd sooner die than owe him shit.

Yeah, I'm done.

Jagoda.

Feeling better?

Uh, not great.

You're lucky I found you and brought you in.

I want you to sign this right now.

Could you sit with me?

Just sign it.

Jagoda.

This ain't a song For the broken-hearted

No silent prayer For the faith-departed

Get outta here.

We'll grab a bite someplace when I pick you up later, all right?

So you're staying?

Looks like I am. You might even get tired of having me around.

-Bye. -Bye.

Oh, glad I caught you, Doctor.

-I've, uh, got a patient for you today. -Oh, do you?

-You've gotta be kidding, right? -No, I'm quite serious.

It's for an urgent surgery. A spinal tumor. With the robot.

You do recall firing me, don't you?

I was under a lot of pressure.

Mmm, I apologize. I made a mistake.

I'd very much appreciate it if you could be here quickly.

I'm back in Warsaw already.

Sort of made other plans here.

-Okay. I'll do it. -Oh.

But I need to be back in Warsaw this evening.

All right, yes, whatever you want. How soon can you be here?

Well, I guess I can make it there in three hours.

Thank you, thank you so much for this, Doctor, truly, I--

And we're back.

It's my life!

Hey, guys, look who it is.

-Where's your daddy? -Yeah!

-Come back here! -He's running away.

-Run away! -What's wrong?

Did you visit your old man in jail?

I bet that he's… real popular.

Ooh!

Don't talk about him like that, jerk!

Fight! Fight him!

How's the view down there? Feel like your dad yet?

Stop it, cut it out! Leave him alone!

Come on, stop! Come on, teacher's coming!

DAD: FRANIO, I'M HEADING BACK TO SUWAŁKI.

URGENT SURGERY. I'M SORRY, I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

Damn it!

Hey.

What? We're off duty.

Administration's saying the ambulance went out

but there was no call for it. Did you do that?

The mileage doesn't match our records.

Oh! I mean, I took it to get it repaired.

Then will you please sort it out with them?

-They account for every liter of gas. -Yeah, of course I'll do that.

And sorry.

You're not in trouble yet.

And paperwork always goes missing.

Yeah.

'Kay?

They can't prove a thing, all right?

Mmm. Okay.

-You good? -Yeah.

-Isn't that the doctor they arrested? -Ah!

What's all this about?

The press would like to hear you speak about the technology

and explain the robotic arm.

You can get them to Google it, because I have a patient to see.

Absolutely. Medicine first, everyone.

Although perhaps you can just give them a bit of your time, afterwards.

On camera, of course. His Eminence's chart.

-Uh-huh. -It's for the doctor.

Thank you.

Anything else?

I planned to introduce you.

This really is more of a doctor and patient thing.

-Why don't you get the paperwork ready? -Oh, it is!

Uh, could I please have a moment alone with the patient?

Thank you.

So this is all because of you.

Surely you meant to thank me.

Okay, let's take a look at this.

Mr. Ryszard, uh, the vertebra, uh, seems to--

Uh, I prefer Your Excellency.

With all due respect, I don't treat titles here. Even those from the church.

Humans are humans.

Perhaps that makes sense.

-Truly, you're the excellency. -Sure.

That would explain the handcuffs, right?

But, back to the tumor…

It's located dangerously close to the spinal cord.

That's why we have to proceed with the utmost caution.

That's what the robot's for.

And it's in your hands.

This type of singularity is what's otherwise known as a swallowtail.

It's true, look! Even looks funny, right?

Please excuse me.

Basia Lazarus, please contact my husband.

Oh. No response?

And what's the issue?

Okay. Okay. Uh, I'll be right there.

Mm-hm.

Well, that's all for today. Thank you very much. I'll see you all next week.

-Hi there. -Hello.

Franek.

What happened today?

Dad left for a surgery like he always does.

You got in a fight?

-Look at you. Does it hurt? -Sorta.

-We don't use violence, Franek. -Mom! Haven't you been to a school?

What was it about?

Stuff about Dad.

I wanted to stand up for him.

And I shouldn't have.

-Hey, Basia. -Hi.

I guess it's your turn now.

-If you could stay, I'd love a chat. -Sure.

I'll be back soon, all right?

-Come on, sit down. -With the weirdo?

You're gonna sit here as long as it takes for you to make up.

Good.

Hey, we should check on the splenectomy patient when we finish here.

-He has a brain contusion. -Who should go?

I mean, we could flip a coin.

Also, thought you should know that he is Dr. Wilk's dad.

That's gotta be hard for her.

I don't know if it is.

He got pretty violent towards her in the past.

Her brother went to jail for stepping in to protect her.

Probably not a very nice man, I would think.

Did you notice Grzelka's MIA?

I was just gonna ask you about that.

He's probably trying to save face after the bishop overlooked him.

Must be so painful.

-Do we get to play with the toy now? -Yes, we do.

Cobb.

Reamer.

Pull back a bit.

Dr. Lazarus?

Let her know I'm busy at the moment.

I'm very sorry, the doctor's in surgery. Would you like me to--

No brain, no heart. Yet utterly precise.

And never tired or emotional.

Sounds like me.

Yeah, well…

It won't be so funny when the machines replace us.

BP's dropping. I need to stabilize him first.

Hm. Well, did it nick him?

That's impossible. There's no bleeding.

All right. He's better. 120 over 80. We can keep going.

Careful now, I don't wanna grind up the bishop.

AUGUSTAMED PRIVATE MEDICAL CENTER

Mr. Nurek? Come on in.

We received the test results.

It's stage four glioma.

And because of where the tumor is…

Only a complete resection could offer a better prognosis.

Unfortunately… it's just not feasible.

And you know that.

I'm very sorry.

Are you all right?

Hungry?

Nah.

-Are you sure? -Mm-hm.

Let's take a look.

It's like you're a panda.

Ha-ha-ha.

-Try this. -No.

-Put it on, or it's gonna swell. -I don't want to. Hey!

It helps! Trust me, you don't want a black eye. Got it?

Your dad is an amazing doctor.

And with that comes a lot of attention.

Every mistake, big or small, is pointed out.

It's like he's under a spotlight.

You can't take it personally.

The best thing is just…

to move on.

Like you did!

Franek, come back here! Come, come, come, come!

Franek, come on!

Step away, please. Please move out of the way.

When will he be cleared to leave?

-Sir, could you-- -No touching please.

Careful, please.

My patient needs peace and quiet from you all. Thank you.

Coming through!

I'm sure you've all heard how complex and involved this procedure proved to be.

It required the use of a surgical robot.

An advancement in modern medicine, which made the surgery a complete success.

I'm pleased to inform you that the patient is now stable and will be…

-Think he's used to this by now? -Mm.

Did you hear about the test the professor gave me,

where I had to reattach the artery during a splenectomy?

With that, I give the floor to our facility director.

I'm sure he'll take your questions.

Thank you, Doctor.

Yes, hello, everyone. My name is Przemyslaw Frycz, the, uh…

very proud director of this facility.

Proud because we fortunately have…

the most qualified specialists as well as the most advanced equipment in Suwałki.

Am I crazy or is the director about to fall to his knees?

Hypocrisy looks pretty good on him.

Sir, if I may, should we be allowing…

Dr. Lazarus to be operating at this time, what with the charges he is facing?

Let me assure you, ladies and gentlemen, that if I had any doubt at all…

this operation would not have taken place today.

This is the day Neuro takes over the hospital and the rest become obsolete.

Nah. We're far too valuable.

Too many people breaking limbs and drinking to death.

-Could we maybe just… -Uh, yes, certainly. I'm happy to.

Can I get a picture with our savior?

-Excellent. -Thank you.

Truly heroic.

-God bless you. -Pleased to meet you. Thank you.

Hey, do you know where they put Jagoda's father?

Yeah, in surgery.

The medication hasn't brought down his arterial pressure.

That's not what concerns me.

The brain needs constant blood flow.

The problem is with the intracranial pressure, what I'm seeing is--

Doctor?

If you know my daughter,

then please…

Please tell her that I'll be waiting for her right here.

Just try to rest now, okay? We'll take care of you.

Keep an eye on him and find me if he takes a turn for the worse.

FRANEK: DON'T COME I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU!

Fuck's sake.

Hello!

Guess what, Ewa sent me a pretty good deal on a little weekend getaway.

Mm?

A little house on the water.

Okay.

Hm.

EYE INJURIES: THE LATEST CLINICAL DATA

Have you been having problems with your eyesight?

-Huh? No! -"Eye Injuries: The Latest Clinical Data."

-Things to know… -Uh, that's nothing.

A patient of a friend of mine, Rysiek, from Gdańsk, he was asking me if…

Well…

He just called me yesterday.

What did you give him?

One amp of lorazepam and a liter of IV fluids.

-What did the tox results show? -Cathinones and amphetamines.

-Huh. That's interesting. -Going to room seven.

Watch yourself.

Hey.

-Would you mind if I-- -Wait! Hey! Stop!

-Florka, go back to your room! -Stop!

-Stop! -Come back here!

Everyone back to your rooms.

Calm down! Close that!

-Come on! Let's go! -Get away from the door!

-Florka, go to your room! -Step away from the door!

Calm down!

Get the sedative! Come on!

Help me!

-Jolka! -Maciek.

-Jolka! -Woo!

Okay, that's enough. Calm down. Relax.

Sit him down.

-Sit. -Good.

Okay, enough.

So yeah.

I've been sorta wondering if, uh, maybe we've been eyeing each other a little?

Because if we have, then…

Maybe we could grab a coffee.

Sure. Let's set it up.

-Let's get him back to his room. -Shit, he was fast!

That was wild! Fastest this week.

Fastest I've seen.

NEUROSURGERY

-Afternoon. -Hello, Doctor.

The leg has been healing well. And I think soon…

Patrycja, can I see you for a moment?

I'll be right back.

I thought you were off today, boss.

Patient. Glioma.

Left hemisphere.

What's his name?

Grzegorz Kawiak.

And what happened to him?

I mean, it was a few months ago, I think.

You had said you weren't going to do the operation. Too risky.

Late stage and all.

Remarkable memory.

Mateusz, have you seen Dr. Wilk?

Maybe, maybe not.

Ooh…

-I see your surgery went well. -Mm-hm.

That's 'cause you weren't the one doing it.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

What do you want her for?

Don't be nosy, Mateusz.

It'll give you gangrene.

-You don't have a chance in hell. -Yeah, maybe not.

You hear?

You stay away from her!

Hey, Dr. Wilk! Trouble coming your way.

-I wouldn't listen to a word he says. -Thanks for the advice, Mateusz.

What?

Someone's protective of you.

I'm watching you, Dr. Lazarus.

I went to see your dad earlier.

Maybe he should transfer to Neuro.

I'd have him closer by in case something happens.

You may not owe him your forgiveness, but he is still your dad.

When we were kids, my brother and I somehow pissed him off.

Then, he locked us in a room for 24 hours.

You know that experiment that they teach in school?

With beans on gauze?

I'm familiar, yeah. I've tried it with a jar of water and beans.

Well. Me too.

It saved us actually.

We drank the water and pissed in the jar, because we had nowhere else to go.

Maybe you should focus on the brain cutting…

instead of the advice giving.

I mean, aren't you the one who needs forgiveness?

And next time you have a face-off with Mikołaj,

say hi to him for me.

Yes, hello?

Dr. Wilk, there's some alprazolam that's missing from the lock box.

Could you come to the ward?

I'll be right there.

As for my dad…

do what you want.

It's your call.

Swelling's increased a bit since his last CT scan.

Predominantly on the right side, it's up a few millimeters.

I'll do what I can to stabilize him with meds.

Although he could need surgery at any time.

The guy's a ticking time bomb.

Why are we only finding out about this now?

I reported it a week ago. That it was broken.

And you definitely remember locking it, right?

Yeah, 100%. Uh-huh.

Don't worry.

Only myself, Adam and the shift manager have the key.

Let me ask the rest of the girls.

Thank you.

How're you doing?

Great, did you hear patients are stealing alprazolam now?

That's not why I asked you.

I guess you could say it's a good thing that I retired when I did,

because I just wouldn't have time otherwise.

To be Grzegorz's caretaker, I just don't have it in me to put him in one of those…

…state-run death houses.

Are you sure I can't offer you something to drink?

No. No, thank you.

I can prescribe pain medication.

He's got all that he needs.

Patches, injections, even occasional nurse visits when I need a moment to rest.

You'll have to excuse me. I need to change his diaper.

Let me help you.

Thank you.

That's kind of you, but I can manage.

SUWAŁKI SPECIALIST HOSPITAL

TRAITOR

What mood would you say Kutnik is in today?

Couldn't tell you. Her face doesn't move. Inscrutable.

There's nothing happening.

David told me to come check on him every now and then.

Jagoda.

I'll leave you to it.

Thanks.

It's good to see you.

I should…

I've been thinking a lot

about what happened with you and…

This isn't how I wanted to…

to see you again.

To have a…

another mess be why we're together again.

Jagoda.

My darling girl.

I would've given everything to…

Ewa! Ewa!

Come quick!

We need Lazarus.
