- Ramona Davis has been
troubled for a long time.

- I have a confession to make.

I did shoot myself
with a nail gun.

- I'm concerned that
you're a danger to yourself.

- You don't need
to be nervous around me.

I am very comfortable
around you.

- I'm taking her blood
to an outside lab.

- You're unblinding her
without the company knowing?

That's what caused her seizure.

- So we won't need
to unblind her.

- No, I don't think
it's necessary.

Her heart's not pumping
properly.

- I thought we had
all this time together.

- My clinical trial
is the best option.

- You know the risks
of an experimental drug.

If this were
any other patient--

- But it's not
any other patient.

It's my mom.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah.

I want to jot down some notes

for our meeting tomorrow.
- Mm, it's gonna go great.

- I just want to make
a good impression, you know?

- Everyone at Kender's
already so impressed

with your work in the trial.

'Cause you, Dr. Halstead...

are a star.

- Well, thank you.

- Okay, so I get
that I'm grounded,

but why do I have to
come to work with you?

- 'Cause we need to talk.

You know I've been working
late a lot recently.

That's on me.

But today at lunch,

you and me are gonna
sit down and talk.

- I thought we talked
plenty last night.

- Honey, this is the third time

you snuck out of the house
in the middle of the night.

The third time
in less than a month,

in the middle of the night,

I find your bed stuffed
with clothes.

- Dad, you don't let me
go out and do anything.

I'm like a prisoner.

- I'd love to give you
more freedom but, you know,

that would require
a certain amount of trust.

And, um, pro tip,

sneaking out of the house
ain't the way to get there.

- This is so unfair.

- Well, I'm sorry
you feel that way.

Ramona.
- Hi, Dr. Charles.

- What are you doing here?

- I've got my outpatient
psych clinic this morning.

I thought I'd stop by
and say hi.

- Oh, okay.

- Is this your daughter?
- Yeah.

- Hi, I'm Ramona.
- Anna.

- Hey, I--don't you want
to be getting upstairs?

You don't wanna be late
for your appointment.

- To be honest,
I really don't know

if Dr. Lancaster is helping me.

- Hmm.

You know, it's only been
three weeks.

Probably a good idea
to give the process a chance.

You know, he's really
very, very good.

Else, I never would have
recommended him to you.

- It's nice to meet you.

♪

- Nice to see you.

-
She's weird.

- Morning, Nat.

- Morning.

- How's your mom?

- You know what?
She's doing good.

She has an appointment
with Dr. Young

to see how her heart's
doing with LVAD today, so...

- I'm glad it all worked out.
- Thank you.

- Ambo pulling up.

Big rig overturned
on the Kennedy.

Car got crushed.
We're heading to Baghdad.

- How many injured?
- One. Coded on the way.

Courtney, talk to me.

- John Brady, 52, triple zero.

Intubated and bilaterally
needled in the field.

- John.
- You know him?

- Oh, yeah.
One of my trial patients.

- Downtime greater than
15 minutes.

- 15? Let's move it.

John, we got you, buddy.

On my count.

One, two, three.

- Thank you.

- Pause CPR.

- PEA, continue CPR.

- Push a milligram of epi.

- Come on, John.

Come on, John, come on.

- Check pulse.

- We have a pulse.

Sinus rhythm.

All right, ultrasound.
Let's fast him.

Okay.

Fast is negative.

- Pressure's dropping.

- Let's get him a unit of blood
and then FFP

on the rapid transfuser.

- V-fib.
- Damn it.

Charge to 200.

- Charging.

- Oh, my God.

Here we go.

Clear.

Again.

- Push another milligram
of epi.

- All right, clear.

Pulse.
- Check pulse.

- Still V-fib.

- Come on, John.
Breathe for me.

Breathe, John.

Clear.

Keep up compressions.
Charge again.

Clear.

Let's go!
Keep going.

♪

- I mean, he was doing
so well in the trial.

His heart was improving.

Only to get killed
in some freak accident.

- I'm so sorry, Will.

- I found these
in Mr. Brady's belongings.

Trial meds?

- Yep, those have
to go back to Kender.

- All right, I'll put it
in the outgoing box.

- I got to go pick up
my mom right now,

but if you want to talk later,
I'm around.

- Thanks, Nat.
- Yeah.

- My heart is getting worse.

How can that be?

I've been feeling better.

- You have been having
palpitations.

- Only in the last
couple of days.

And they go away very quickly.

- I'm afraid that's
just the first sign

that your heart's
getting weaker.

Your heart has become
more dependent on the LVAD.

- Well, wasn't that the point
of getting it

in the first place?
- Not exactly.

The LVAD is just meant
to be a support

until cardiac function improves

or, if that doesn't happen,

until a donor heart
becomes available.

- Oh.

- So what are our options?

- I'd like for you
to stick around for a few hours

so we can give you
some IV fluids.

- And then I can go home.

- I also want to run
a few more tests.

Then we'll take stock
of where we are.

- Okay?

- I'm sorry.

I know that's not what

either of you wanted to hear.

- I really hoped the LVAD

would have been
a better solution.

- I still think it was
the right call.

- I'm not blaming you.

I thought it was
a better option, too.

But you know what?
I'm gonna go talk to Will,

see if he can still get her
into the trial.

- I mean, even if he did,

your mom could
still get the placebo.

- I know, but I need
to explore all of our options.

- Yeah, of course.

- Hey.

- Hey, how'd
your mom's appointment go?

- Not great.

The LVAD's not helping
as much as we'd hoped.

- Sorry to hear that.

- Look, I know at first,

it was either your trial meds
or the LVAD.

We couldn't do both.

- All trial patients
have to fit the same criteria.

- Sure, but if she was
on the medication,

would it react adversely
with the LVAD?

- It's a great drug, but
this is uncharted territory.

- If Mom understood the risk,

is there any way you could
still get her into the trial?

- Nat, I'm sorry.
I wish I could.

Enrollment's closed.

- Isn't there anything
you can do?

- I'll tell you what.

I'll ask Dr. Virani.

See if she can make
an exception.

But I can't promise anything.

- I understand.
Thank you.

- Okay, we'll be right there.

Hey, Dean, I need you.

- Yeah, what's going on?
- CFD just called.

There's been an accident
at a house under renovation.

Two injured. One seriously.

Open abdominal wound,
and he's trapped under debris.

- Are they gonna need us
to do a field amputation?

- I hope not.

But they said he's trying
to get the guy free

and they need us to bring
blood and plasma.

- Let's gear up and go.

- Mrs. Forbes, I'm Dr. Marcel.

This is Nurse Sexton.
- Hi.

- My husband Robert.
- Hi.

- Excuse me.
I see you've had COVID.

- Yeah.
- And you're experiencing

chest pain
and shortness of breath.

- When she woke up this
morning, it was pretty bad.

- How long you been having
these symptoms?

- On and off since I had COVID,

but it's gotten worse
the past few days.

- She's been
testing negative for weeks,

but it doesn't seem to matter.

- Unfortunately, some people
experience symptoms for weeks,

even months,
after the virus is gone.

Sats 93.
- Heart rate's elevated too.

- Right before COVID, we just
started trying to get pregnant.

We waited so long
to start a family.

I'm just ready to start getting
back to our lives, you know?

- Yeah.

Well, let's figure out
what's going on

and get you fixed up, okay?

I'll see you in a bit.

- Doc.
- Yeah?

- You think there's
something wrong with her heart?

- Oh, we're just
covering all our bases.

- All right, we're gonna
take good care of you.

- It's good to get out in
the field for a change, huh?

- Yeah.

- Know what this
is reminding me of?

- Helmand.

- Crammed inside that Humvee,
hotter than hell.

- I sweat just thinking
about it.

- Jacked up on adrenaline.

Not knowing what
you're gonna face.

- Hey, it was a crazy time.

- Yeah, no kidding.

- We've got incoming.

Dr. Halstead,
you're going to two.

Desmond?
- Ramona Davis.

30-year-old female,
persistently vomiting.

GCI's 15, heart rate 133,
BP 112 over 82.

Gave her half a liter
of saline in the field.

- All right, let's get her
ready to rotate.

- Ramona, remember me?
I'm Dr. Halstead.

- I can't stop throwing up.

- How long's
that been going on?

- About an hour.

- All right.
On my count.

One, two, three.

-
Gonna be sick.

- All right, just hold on.

Go ahead.
-

- Okay, okay.
Thank you, Chrissy.

There you go.

- Let's check your eyes,
Ramona.

Pinpoint pupils.
- Got it.

- Ramona, I have to ask.

You take something
to make yourself sick?

Okay, what'd you take?

Ramona, what was it?

- Miss Davis, tell us
what you took.

- I want to see Dr. Charles.

- EKG, CBC, BMP,
and send her blood for

an expanded toxicology panel.
- Got it.

- Ramona, I want to help you
feel better.

But you got to help me
and tell me what you took.

- Dr. Charles.

I'll only speak to Dr. Charles.

- Never showed up
for her appointment

with Dr. Lancaster
this morning.

After our encounter,
she must have

gone home and taken something
to make herself sick.

- And Anna was with you, right?
- Yeah.

- That makes me
a little nervous, Daniel.

How do you want to handle this?

- Look, I can't say I didn't
see it coming, all right?

Last time she was here,

in order to treat her,
I had to get her to trust me.

Which I did.

But in the process,
became the new Dr. Bridges.

All right, so, look,
I don't like it either,

but it kinda seems like
I should talk to her.

- Are you sure?

This patient harms herself
to get attention.

Aren't you just rewarding that

by giving her what she wants?

- If not me, who?

Right? I mean,
certainly doesn't seem like

she's gonna engage with
somebody she doesn't trust.

You know, sooner or later,

she's gonna run out of luck,
right?

And one of these
attention-getting schemes

is going to kill her.

I don't know, it just seems
a little irresponsible

to keep kicking a can
down the road.

- Look, I understand
your concern,

but in this instance,

I'd rather wait
for the tox screen.

Hopefully, that'll give us
the answer we need

without your intervention.

- Don't worry.
We'll take care of you.

- Hey, Brett.
- Hey.

Glad you guys are here.

- This is Dr. Dean Archer,
surgeon.

How badly is he hurt?

- Head trauma, broken arm.

The victim trapped
in the basement

is in much worse shape.

- Thanks. Joe, got here
as quick as we could.

- What happened?

- They're renovating the house.

Guy cut a truss
to install some ductwork.

Cut a little too deep.

Whole floor caved in
on top of him.

Circular saw
cut him as he fell.

- How long until
you can get him free?

- My team's working
as fast as they can,

but there's a lot
of unstable weight.

This way.

We're trying to secure the
floor with struts and cribbing

to avoid a secondary collapse.

It's just down here.

♪

- Oh, thank God.

Eddie, it's gonna be okay.

- Mrs. Howard, please,
it's safer for you outside.

- No, please.
I want her here.

Let her stay.

- Watch your step.
- Thanks.

- Okay, we need to give
the doctors some room.

Let's wait over here.

- Hey, Violet, talk to me.

- Eddie Howard, 34 years old.

BP 110 over 70.

Large abdominal wound

with evisceration
from circular saw.

- Meds?
- 10 milligrams of morphine IV.

- All right, thanks.

We'll take it from here.
- Yup.

- Hey, Eddie?

I'm Dr. Choi.
This is Dr. Dean Archer.

We're gonna take care of you,
all right?

- My wife told me
to hire an HVAC contractor.

I thought me and my buddy
could do the work ourselves.

- Let's hang some blood.

We'll wrap his intestines
in some saline

to keep them moist.

- You're not gonna
put them back in me?

- No, we're gonna
protect them for now.

We'll put them
back where they belong

when we get you
to the hospital.

- Hang in there, Eddie.

We're gonna get you
out of here soon.

- Okay, good news.

Your EKG shows no sign
of any irregularity.

- Then why does it feel like
my heart is going to

pound out of my chest?

- Well, let's take
another listen.

Definitely bounding.

Take a deep breath for me.

- Honey, hey.
- Yeah.

- This should help you
breathe a little easier, okay?

- What's happening to her?

- Well, it's possible
that she's developed

a pulmonary embolism.

It's a blood clot in the lungs.

- We've seen it in patients

who've recovered from COVID.
It's treatable.

- I'm gonna send you
for a chest CT.

Then we'll know for sure.

April, if we can
start her on a heparin drip

and then send her
for a CT PE study.

- Sure thing.

- Sats are dropping.

Okay.
-

- Ramona, I'm gonna listen
to your lungs, okay?

-
- Slow and deep breaths.

- She's tight. 125 solumedrol.

Breathing treatment, stat.

- Okay, breathe deep.

- All right, Ramona,
this has gone on long enough.

You need to tell us
what you took.

- Ramona, whatever you ingested

is working its way
through your system.

If we don't treat it properly,

you could have
some serious complication.

You may even die.

Tell us so we can help you.

- I want Dr. Charles.

- He's clear.
- Oh, thank God.

- And slide him out.

- I'm here, honey.
You're gonna be okay.

- All right.
Someone grab the backboard.

Let's roll him. Ready, roll.

Back.
- All right, he's on it.

Okay, let's get
that stokes basket in here.

- All right, careful with that.

Let's get this guy
to the hospital.

- Let's transfer him
on my count.

Ready, watch his arm.

Everybody ready?

One, two, three.

- Get down!

- The hell?

- Just got word from PD.

Gang fight broke out.
Neighborhood's on lockdown.

No ambulances in or out.

- This man can't wait, Joe.

If we don't get him to
the hospital soon, he'll die.

- That's not my call.

I'll let you know
if I hear anything else.

- All right.

Hey, Dean, you okay?

- Huh?
- You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine,
I'm fine, I'm fine.

- What's happening?
- Courtney.

- Come on, Michelle.
Let's get you some water.

- Eddie. Eddie, stay with us.

- BP's tanking.

He's not protecting his airway.

- I'll bag him.

- Hang another unit of blood.

- This is the last one.
-

Oh, God, more laps.

- More laps.
- We're out.

Where's all this blood
coming from?

- It's coming from the liver.

Laceration on the right lobe.

- Can you repair it?

- Maybe a Pringle.

Clamp the inflow of blood
to the liver, but...

it's dark,
non-sterile environment.

- Hey, this guy is bleeding out
right in front of us.

We have to.

- Yeah. Uh--

- Dean.
- Yeah.

Get me a clamp and gauze.

Anything to soak up the blood.
- Yeah.

- So I can see
what the hell I'm doing here.

- Your CT was normal.
No PE.

- Then why is my wife
having trouble breathing?

So far, we haven't
been able to find

any physical explanation
for your symptoms.

- Mr. and Mrs. Forbes,

I spent a long time
in the COVID ward.

I saw patients
on ventilators for weeks.

A lot of them
suffered emotional trauma

from their time in the ICU.

- Wait,

you think this is in my h-head?

- Considering the stress
you've been under

for the past few months,

it would be understandable

if this was anxiety based.

- She's not imagining this!

- No, no one's saying she is.

Look, anxiety,
if that's what's behind this,

can cause very real symptoms.

- You can't do anything
to help my wife?

- We'll continue to monitor
her symptoms, run tests, but--

- But what?

- If all else fails,

it can't hurt to speak with

one of our in-house
psychiatrists.

- You paged me?

- Dr. Halstead.

- Ramona's going downhill fast.

- What about the tox screen?

- Whatever she took
didn't show up.

- Daniel.

- Looks like
we're out of options.

So, um...

wish me luck.

- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.

- Ramona.

- You came.

- Look, you're
running out of time.

You got to tell us what
you took so we can help you.

- If you agree to be my doctor.

- I already am your doctor.

I never stopped
being your doctor.

- You know what I mean.

- I'm an emergency room
psychiatrist, all right?

We talked about this.
I'm simply--

I'm not available to give
the kind of care you need.

Dr. Lancaster, though--

- But I want you.

- Just like you wanted
Dr. Bridges?

I mean, look, here you are,
back in the hospital.

- Y-you're different
from Dr. Bridges.

You listen to me.

You hear me.

That's all I need.

Someone to hear me.

Please.

- I'll make you a deal,
all right?

Tell me what you took,

and I will come back and
we can talk about this a bit.

- Insecticide.
Malathion.

- Oh, my God.

- Give her a DuoDote of
atropine and pralidoxime.

- You got it.

- Yeah, shouldn't take long
to see improvement.

- Give me a shout
when she's out of the woods.

- Yep.

- Help!
We need help!

She can't breathe!

It h-hurts.
- Easy, easy.

- Oh, God.

Does this look like
anxiety to you?

- All right, sedate her
and set up for a bronchoscopy.

We need to scope her.

We're gonna take a closer look
at your lungs, okay?

- Do something, do something!

- Nice and easy, okay?
We're taking care of it.

All right.

-
What's happening?

- There you go, there you go.
- It's okay, it's okay.

- Brought you
an afternoon pick-me-up.

- Always so thoughtful.

- Listen, um...

Dr. Manning's mother
is in heart failure.

I know enrollment's closed,

but is there any way
we can get her into the trial?

- I'm sorry, Will.

Letting her in now would

compromise the data
we've already collected.

- I get it.

It's just,
Carol's an old friend,

and she's getting worse.

Our drug could save her life.

- There's no guarantee that
she would get the actual drug.

And even if she did,

we don't know
how effective it would be.

- The drug works.

- The preliminary data
has been encouraging, but--

- No, it works, I know it does.

- It's a blind trial.

How could you?

Will?

I unblinded a patient.

- What?

- Couple months back.

- You did this behind my back?

- I didn't want to.

But I had to.

For the sake of my patient.

- Do you have any idea
what you've done?

You've jeopardized
the whole trial,

not to mention
both of our jobs.

- Look, Sabeena, I've told you
this in confidence.

- Well, we're having drinks
with Mark Barragan tonight.

How am I supposed
to sing your praises,

knowing you've broken
the most basic rule?

- I'm sorry.

Really, I am.

- I have no idea
what I'm gonna do.

But I can tell you this.

I'm not making any exceptions
to the enrollment.

-
Okay.

♪

- Hey, Nat.
- Yeah?

- So I talked to Dr. Virani.

And there's just no way
to get your mom in the trial.

I'm sorry.
- What if I talk to her?

Explain how serious
Mom's condition is?

- Trust me, she's not gonna
change her mind.

- Okay, um,
thank you for trying.

- Hey, I really wish
there was something I could do.

- I guess we'll just
stay on course with Dr. Young.

Thanks.

- How you feeling?

- Good, now that you're here.

I like your tie.

My father wore a tie every day.

He had very fine taste
in clothes.

- You know,
speaking of your dad,

last time you were here,

I was struck by...

you said that you didn't think
he cared about you.

- Those were your words,
not mine.

- Oh.

- We were very close.
- Oh.

Tell me a little more
about him.

- There isn't any more.

- How 'bout your mom?
Was she around?

- She left us.

- Sorry to hear that.

How old were you?

- I don't know, um...

five or six.

Anyway, it didn't matter.

- How's that?

- My father said
we didn't need her.

We were a team.

- No brothers or sisters?

- Just me.

- You know, some kids
in that position, they--

I don't know, sometimes
would wish that they had

a little brother or sister
to play with.

But not you?

- I didn't.

I was very happy.

- Well, I mean, I guess
you didn't have to share him

with anybody.

What--what you thinking about?

Ramona?

You know, um...

I could use a snack.
How 'bout you?

You hungry?

Sandwich, Jell-O?

- Jell-O.

I like orange.
- Me too.

I'll be back.

- All right.

-
Come on.

- 74 over 60.

- Can't find the artery.

I can't find it.
I can't find it.

- Dean.

Dean, what's going on?
Talk to me.

Hey, hey.
Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean.

I know what
you're going through, okay?

I've been there.

I've been there with you.

In Helmand, right?
- Yeah.

- Hey?
We got through that,

and we're gonna
get through this.

- No, no, no.
- Yeah.

You can do this.

- I can't do it.
- Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.

You're the finest surgeon
I know.

Hey, hey, look at me.
Look at me.

Deep breaths.

Yeah, there you go.

Okay, I need you.

This patient needs you.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- Okay.
- You got this, Dean.

- All right.

- PD's got the situation
under control.

Safe to leave.

- Hold on, hold on. Dean?

Found it. Clamped.

- Bleeding's stopped.

Pressure's coming back up.

- Good job.

Good job.
Let's go.

- Bring 'em in.
- Let's go.

- Copy that.

- Mrs. Forbes, you doing okay?

- Almost there.

Okay, I'm seeing
several small lesions

in the distal airway
of your lower left lobe.

- What does that mean?

Tumors?

- I'm not sure.
Take a sample for biopsy.

Come up a little bit more.

Right there.

- I know it's hard.
Try not to worry.

We'll know soon
what we're dealing with.

- Okay, stop.
Open.

- Carol,

I'm sorry to say
that even with the fluids

and adjustments to the LVAD,

your heart's still
having arrhythmias.

- So what do we do now?

- I'd like to add an AICD.

- And what is that?

- It's a device
that's implanted in your chest

that can help regulate
your heart.

If an arrhythmia develops,

it can shock your heart

back into
a normal sinus rhythm.

- Does it hurt to get shocked?

- My patients do say
it causes discomfort.

One patient describes it
as feeling like

getting kicked in the chest.

- Well, who can say no to that?

- Mom, I think you should
just hear Dr. Young out.

- It's a minimally invasive
procedure,

and it will help
the LVAD work better.

So in addition
to lugging my LVAD around,

I get the added benefit of
getting kicked in the chest?

- I do think you should
consider the AICD.

- I'm sorry, what kind
of quality of life is that?

- It's not ideal,

but it will keep you alive

until you can have
a transplant.

- Um, good.

I'm tired.

Would you take me home, please?

Thank you, Doctor.

- Endometriosis?

My sister had that
in her uterus.

- Yeah, that's usually
where it occurs.

But in very rare cases,

the endometrial cells
can migrate

to other parts of the body,

like the lungs.

Once there, they respond to
the hormone fluctuations

from your menstrual cycle
and can grow,

causing bleeding
and even a collapsed lung.

- How do we treat it?

- Well, since
it's fed by hormones,

I would recommend
inducing early menopause,

either by removing the ovaries

or through a series
of injections.

- You can't put me
into menopause.

We want to have a baby.

- Honey,

we got to do whatever it takes
to make you better.

- We've dreamt

of having a family for so long.

I am not giving up on this.

- Dr. Marcel?
- Yeah?

Okay.

There is another option.

I could perform a surgery,

a lobectomy,

whereby I remove
the portion of the lung

with endometriosis.

Now, it's only
a temporary measure.

There's a strong chance
it could come back,

requiring additional surgery

and potentially putting
your lungs at risk.

-
Okay.

Okay, if it means that
I could still have a baby,

then it's worth it.

Robert,

I need you to be
okay with this.

- If this is what you want...

I am.

- Okay.

I'll have one of the residents
come get you pre-op'd.

- Okay.

-
I love you.

- So you were saying
that you and your dad

were a team.

Did I get that wrong?

- You keep asking
about my father,

and I keep telling you
I don't want to talk about him.

- But why is that?

Did something bad happen?

- No, no.
My father loved me.

I mean, he was always there.

We did lots of things
together...

when I was little.

- Not so much
when you got older?

It was different.

- Huh. How? How?

- My father didn't like me
as much.

- Really?

Why do you think that was?

- I, um...

I couldn't please him anymore.

I wasn't good enough.

- Okay, not good enough how,
though?

- He couldn't stand
to be around me.

I did everything wrong.

I'm sorry.

It's really no big deal.

- Dr. Charles.

I'm sorry,
but your daughter needs you.

- I-I'm busy.
I'll be a little while, thanks.

- She said it's an emergency.

- What was the issue?

- I don't know.
She didn't tell me.

- It's okay, Dr. Charles.
- No, no.

- Really, no. I understand.
She's your daughter.

- No, no, no, let's stick
with this, okay?

- No, really,
I could use a moment.

Please, go ahead.

- All right.
I'll be right back, okay?

Right back.

- Unbelievable.
- Okay, well, I'm sorry.

The guest network is too busy,

and I can't stream
this lecture,

- You know, Will,
I have to tell you,

I'm absolutely thrilled

with your work on the trial.

I can't believe this is
your first experience as a PI.

- It certainly helps working
alongside Dr. Virani.

She's a great advisor and

really got me up to speed.

- One of our best.

Your trials always run
so smoothly.

You care to divulge
your secret?

- Strict adherence
to protocols.

- I think Dr. Virani's
being modest.

She also prioritizes
patient care.

And I mean,
that's why we're all here.

Right?

To save lives?

- Yes.

Indeed.

- Will,

Sabeena and I
have talked about you

taking on a bigger role

within the company.

Multiple trials.

- That is something that
we've discussed in the past.

- But...

- Dr. Halstead has told me that

he considers himself
an ED doctor first

and a PI second.

- Well--
- Let me be blunt.

Would you be willing

to leave the ED

and make clinical trials
your full-time gig?

- I think that's something
I would seriously consider.

- I'm sorry.
I have to take this.

- Sure.

Come on.

you'd treat it, right?

Mental health is no different.

There shouldn't be
a stigma attached to it.

about that at all.

I don't need therapy.
