[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

MAN: Dr. Carter?

MAN 2: Dr. Carter,
are you there?

CARTER: Mm-hm.

MAN: I'm so sorry, but we...

MAN 2: Hey, we're locked out.

CARTER: Uh, hang on.

Hang on. I'm coming.

Yes?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

What's up?

Dr. Carter, I'm so sorry.

I know it's really late...

Really early, but we...

We're locked out.

We were in the library,

but I thought he had his key,

and he thought I had mine...

No, I did have a key, okay?

But it wasn't my old dorm key.

I had my old apartment key,

but my sister threw me out.

Okay, I got a master key.

Sorry to wake you.

It's my job.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh, Peter.

Hey, hi.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Mm. No, no. I...

I didn't expect you
to finish so soon.

Well, I, uh...

It was just a spleen...

Mm-hm.

And I was thinking about you.

Mm-hm.

So I thought I
would come over...

Mm-hm.

Come over and
finish what we started.

Mm-hm. Peter.
Peter, I, uh... I, uh...

What?

Before you jump
to any conclusions...

[DOOR OPENS]

You're not alone.

Right. I was...

MAN: Sorry to wake
you so early, darling.

This jet lag...

Oh, excuse me.

I didn't realize
anyone had arrived.

Allow me, uh, this
is Peter Benton,

a, uh, work colleague.

Obviously, a friend.

Uh, Peter, this is...
Charles Corday, my father.

Oh. Um...

nice to meet you.

[CHUCKLES]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

The toilet's overflowing.

What?

In the women's bathroom.

It's going all over the floor.

That sounds like a
call for Maintenance.

I'm just the R.A.

Well, they're not on until 7.

You better come.
It's getting bad.

HATHAWAY: I'm calling to
confirm an 8 a.m. appointment.

[GROANS]

Carol Hathaway.

A/C working?

I'm on with them now.

Thank you.

Hey, don't worry,
you'll knock 'em dead.

Uh-oh. What'd she do wrong?

Me?

See a med student
in two hours early,

she must have
screwed something up.

No, she's checking her labs
that were pending yesterday.

Yeah. Just for fun.

I just wanna make
sure nothing slips

through the cracks.
Don't burn out.

She's already
the Resident's pet.

I am not.

She got an IV
solo her first day.

So I was lucky.

Morning, all.

ALL: Good morning.

Can somebody
look at my grandson?

He's not right.

Take a seat. Someone
will be with you.

It's okay, I can
take a look at him.

Lucy, you want to join me? Sure.

A month ago, he
was starting to walk.

Now, he just lays there.

I'll join you as soon
as I stow my stuff.

There's no need.

Let's take him to Exam 4.

Well, if you need me to sign off

on any procedures...

ROSS: Well, check
your calendar, Kerry.

My probation was for 30 days.

I'm a free man again.

30 working days, Doug.

I don't think so.

I'll check on that.

I'm sure you will. I got him.

Good luck upstairs. Come on.

[PHONE RINGS]

[GROANS]

John Carter.

Dad, hi. How's the sailing?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh, I think, I think
Gamma's being dramatic.

[LAUGHING]
Because it's not a slum.

It's a... A dorm.

Well, Dad, it pays the rent.

I said, it pays the rent.

No, I'm not turning my back.

Because I'm still a doctor.

It's just not cl...
It's just not clear

whether they're going to be
able to pay me or not this year.

The R.A. position
is for Residents.

No. There's... There's, um...

student advising
and... And counseling.

It's, you know, practically
a faculty position.

And it feels good
to pay my own way.

Dad?

Dad?

Hello?

Hello?

[♪♪♪]

[ELEVATOR RINGS]

Oh! Yosh, I'm so sorry.

I'm so excited, they said yes.

They said yes?

They said yes!

You're hot stuff! Thanks.

Mark, thank you so
much, they said yes.

To your proposal?

Thanks to Mark's
great letter of support.

Oh, I just told the truth.

I just said that your clinic
deserved a salaried RN.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

Oh, there you go, baby.

Why's the number flashing?

They're calling on the landline.

Mark's learning the new radio.

You're gonna take the EMS job?

Well, I-I haven't decided yet.

Just touch the screen.

On the number?

It won't bite.

[DIAL TONE]

What...? What I'd do?

Well, when you touch it
twice, you hang up on them.

Don't worry, they'll call back.

Jerry, what is going
on with the A/C in here?

They were just here.

Takes a couple minutes
for it to cool down.

T-they're on Med 9.

I gotta take this up to the lab.

I'll take over.

Okay. Go ahead.

Just once.

Check volume.

WOMAN [OVER RADIO]:
Pulse 120. Gave 500 cc's

[LOWER VOLUME]:
of normal saline. Copy?

Uh, County General on Med 9.

We didn't catch the first part.

Can you repeat?

You have to step on the pedal

when you speak, Dr. Greene.

[GROANS]

County General on Med...

Mark, you're not switched over.

You gotta switch
over to Med 9 first.

Now.

County General on Med 9.

Can you please repeat
the information...?

I said, pulling up now.

Single-vehicle MVA.

62-two-year-old
restrained driver.

What's with the radio?

Well, Mark Greene is
considering a future in EMS.

We were just
teaching him the ropes.

Uh-huh. BP's 100/60,
tachy at 120, diaphoretic.

Air bags deployed.

Wife was a passenger
in the front seat.

He just groaned and
slumped over the wheel.

Thank goodness we
were barely moving.

I didn't know you were on today.

Uh, I'm not. I'm here
to talk to paramedics.

When you're done.

Yeah, we're going to take
very good care of your husband.

So if I can't persuade
my daughter,

you'd be interested in the job?

Oh, you know.

I have considered a
cardiothoracic fellowship.

I mean, as a
specialty, it has it all.

The heart, the most
magnificent machine in creation.

I'm flattered you came all
this way to have another go

at convincing me
to join your practice.

It was on my way.

I can't appear too
eager with this one.

And I can't be so picky.

It isn't as if I have
other options.

Darling, isn't that him? Romano?

CORDAY: Oh, God,
don't let him spot us.

He keeps leaving messages

about some dreadful
lap choly this afternoon.

Well, he still is your sponsor.

He only wants me because
he's got a potential partner

keen on seeing
the Aesop in action,

and he's not certified.

The Aesop robot? Brilliant.

It galls me to help
him in any way.

I wouldn't even give him
the satisfaction of seeing that.

I expect my daughter
to go out fighting.

Dive in there.

Impress the hell out of Romano.

Make the bugger rue
the day he terminated you.

[ALL LAUGH]

Yeah. Go for it.

I feel ganged up on.

Lizzie, Peter.

Mr. Corday, what a surprise.

I bet you're on
your way to UCSF.

I came to visit my daughter
while she was still here.

Hm. You know,
I'm sorry we were...

unable to continue
the fellowship.

I was never fond of her
working with you in the first place.

I recall that.

You got my message about
assisting on the Aesop?

Wouldn't miss it.

Although, um, uh, technically,
you'll be assisting me, right?

[FORCED LAUGHTER]

Well, uh... you
got me on that one.

You know, I haven't
seen this gadget in action.

If that's all right
with Dr. Romano.

I'd be honored.

I should have
brought him in before,

but last week, we
visited his cousin

and he seemed better.

Temp's still 100.5.

Where's his cousin live?

Waukegan, right on the lake.

Sounds nice and cool.

Miss Knight, what
tests would you order?

I'd do a full metabolic workup.

WOMAN: That sounds bad.

Well, I'm gonna try
something else first.

Yosh, you wanna see if
you can find an electric fan.

There's one in the lounge.

We'll cool the room down,

see how that affects
your grandson.

I turn the lights out sometimes,
and that seems to help.

Okay, we'll try that too.

Uh, we'll be right back.

You wanna keep an eye on him?

Any questions?

An infant losing milestones,

it sounds like a
metabolic disorder to me.

Ordinarily, you'd be
right to check there first.

But he's got a fever,

and in this heat,
he's not even damp.

Why are, uh, the
lights out in Exam 4?

We are cooling a young boy down

with anhydrotic
ectodermal dysplasia.

No sweat glands.

It's just a hunch. I
think it's the right hunch.

You wanna look it up?

Hold on, are you telling me
that the EMS Medical Director

is a real person?
He's an ER doc.

I thought it was just a name
they stuck on the top of memos.

Not when I do it.

Somebody page me?

Yeah. Abdominal mass in Trauma 1

and it sounds like a triple-A.

What? I pay attention.

Oh, and, uh, Carla called,

she might not make it to
Reece's ear appointment.

She wants you to leave her
a message if that's a problem.

Oh. No, that's cool.

Damn, Jerry, what is
it, 100 degrees in here?

I'm on it, I'm on it.

Dr. Carter, I'm sorry.
I was with Dr. Ross.

Coffee. For me?

Can you imagine me on caffeine?

One sugar, right?

Right. Thanks.

Hey, why am I already
signed up for, uh, two patients?

Oh, I hope you don't mind.

The right arm weakness
could be really interesting.

I ordered up the
previous charts,

reviewed them and did the H & P.

Already?

If you wanna get
a good Residency,

you gotta come out
of the gates flying.

Well, you got a little time

before you need to worry
about that sort of thing.

It's the same for you, isn't it?

Residents start bucking for
Chief when they're Interns?

Right. You've probably been

laying the groundwork
since day one.

Oh, yeah.

At school, they say that's
how you build a career.

Right, Dr. Carter?

Please don't call
him "Dr. Carter,"

we'll never be
able to live with him.

What should I call you?

He's just Carter.

Dr. Carter will be fine.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, God, yeah. Right there.

I was so tense talking to Admin.

I guess you didn't need to be.

No, I should have
asked for two nurses.

Are you gonna hire yourself?

No, I'm the only volunteer.
I don't mind asking.

Besides, it'll be
fun to hire someone.

Good for the clinic.

There you go. I get it? Yeah!

Double GSW coming
in, two 16-year-olds.

One shot through the
head, one through the flank.

Mark, did you answer the radio?

All by myself.

Ugh!

Single GSW to the
left temporal scalp.

BP is 120/78. Pulse 80.

No neurodeficits,
unless being a macho jerk

and attacking your
friendly paramedic counts.

She was going for my piece.

I was going for your pulse.

Okay, you can
bleed out next time.

Get that lac taken care of.

All right, Doris, I'll
look at it. Let's go.

Yeah, there's no
palpable bullet.

What's your name, son?

Looks like he's
been shot before.

This is my first
time above my neck.

Oh, well, you the man.

Pupils are equal and reactive.

Do you know where you are?

MAN: 16-year-old
African-American male.

Lil Toine, what's up,
man? Where you been?

MAN: Gunshot to
the right buttock.

Single entrance wound.

Oh, they capped you in the ass?

Oh, that's whack.

Nothing but a thang, B.G.

On my count: one, two, three.

There oughta be
something for us to do.

Maybe a central line,
maybe a chest tube.

Oh, I don't know if
I'm ready for that yet.

Oh, you aren't.

Pain here?

Naw, man, I ain't shot there.

Normal sinus on the scope.

Need any help here?

Dr. Carter, so glad you asked.

Get some Surgilube
and a fresh pair of gloves.

[CHUCKLES]

We'll check next door.

Tighter so I can't open them up.

CARTER: Anything
we can do in here?

I don't need no
sister with no attitude

putting a shot in my head.

Close your eyes, sir.

We haven't finished
checking your cranial nerves.

Mm, looks like they
got it under control.

Don't worry. There'll
be lots of chances.

I know.

Sure, the guidelines say
wait until the cops get there,

you know, wait until
the scene is secured.

But you get there

and some kid is lying
in the street bleeding.

What are you going to do?

The reason why I'm curious
is the department's looking

for a new district
medical director.

You're gonna leave the ER?

No, no. It'd be
part of my job here.

I thought it'd be a good way
to approach continuity of care.

Oh, I hate to see it happen
to such a decent guy.

What do you mean?

Seven years, I've
been working on a rig.

Seven years, we've
known that what we need

is more paramedics.

Every year, for seven years...

Right, right, right.

They cut the budget.

Uh-huh.

That part of the job
would not be new.

[CHUCKLES]

Am I gonna have a scar?

Naw, I'm too good at this.

ROSS: Get an abdominal CT

with oral IV and
rectal contrast.

If the bullet hit his colon,

you'd think he'd
be hurting more.

No, the kid was
masking, he's in pain.

Hey, how's yours doing?

Oh, he's stable. No
blood in the urine,

stool trace positive for heme.

You know, I checked
on your probation,

and it ended yesterday.

Yeah? I guess the party's over.

The committee required me

to sign off on your patients.

I did not ask for the job.

Yeah, but you kind
of got off on it, though.

I do not relish babysitting.

It'd make my life a lot easier

if everyone did their
jobs on their own.

Oh, Kerry, I'm
sorry to be a burden.

You know what? This whole thing,

it just meant
nothing to you, did it?

It's just, uh, water
under the bridge, right?

Oh... I wouldn't say that.

Do you know how
many calls I'm still getting

from people who
want ultra-rapid detox?

Forward them to
me. I'll take their calls.

Yeah. Can't do that.

God knows what you'd say.

You know, I think it's
a wise move for you.

Great research
opportunities in EMS.

I'm actually more interested
in coordinating paramedic care.

For once, you and I
would not be in competition.

Field work was never my forte.

You wouldn't
want this job, Kerry.

There's no money,
no power, no glory.

You're right. It doesn't fit
into my Machiavellian scheme

to rule the Emergency
Department.

You heading out?

Yeah, Rachel's
got a soccer game.

Dr. Weaver, do
you have a minute?

Absolutely.

Jerry, it is freezing in here.

I know.

I don't know if you noticed

I put in a salary request.

I did.

My finances have
changed of late,

and it's no longer
gonna be feasible...

Yeah. I approved it.

And frankly, I
was glad to see it.

Someone who practices
medicine as a hobby

runs the risk of
looking like a dilettante.

Ah, yes. Well, that's
not me. That's not me.

And that's what's
been worrying me

is that while I was
unpaid, it held me back

from stating my long-term goal.

Which is?

I want to be Chief Resident.

You don't have to worry
about that quite yet, do you?

No? I wanna come
out of the gates strong.

You know, it's the only
way to really build a career.

Well, you're off to a good
start with your student.

Miss Knight is
organized and in control.

Yeah. Lucy's right on top of it.

A good student is usually
evidence of a good teacher,

and that's the first step
toward being a Chief.

I say, Jerry...

I'm on it, okay?

They're turning it up now.

Actually, I was going to
ask you if you paged me.

WEAVER: Yeah, that was me.

Where's the gentleman
with the gunshot wound?

Uh, bangers to Curtain 3.

You know what? Don't lead her

by the nose too
much, your student.

I will keep that in mind.

Jerry, it's like a
meat locker in here.

ANSPAUGH: Nice work.

Triple-A on an
anterior left renal vein

is never a picnic.

Yeah, divide and conquer.

What are you doing at 4:00?

I've got a tricky
retroperitoneal sarcoma.

I was gonna run my son upstairs

for an audiology exam,

but I guess I could reschedule.

Your son have a hearing problem?

Uh, there was concern.

Turns out he had
fluid in his ears.

I'm just following up.

But he tested normal at birth?

Mm-hm.

Wasn't he a preemie?

Yeah. That's right.

They sometimes
give gent to preemies.

It can be ototoxic.

No, no, no. He's fine.

He... I-I'll be there.

Well, if you're sure.

How would you like to follow up

on Mr. Specchierla in Recovery?

Our triple-A?

Oh. Yeah.

I'm on it.

The CT scan showed
a hole in your rectum.

Look like they ripped
you another one, Little T.

My belly's hurtin'.

I gave him six of morphine.

Hey, man. Hey, come
check me out too.

I don't want no dents left
in this pretty head of mine.

Your head too big, anyway.

Are you gonna do my operation?

You don't want no Chinese
fag messing down there.

Japanese.

Your friend could
use a little support.

This isn't a joke.

After the surgery,

you're going to have to
wear a colostomy bag.

Do you know what that is?

No.

Lil Toine gonna be
crapping in a bag?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Lil Toine, you gonna be
crapping in a bag, man.

Not me, man.

This is not an accurate
picture of a colostomy.

Oh, baby, I heard they shot you.

What you doing here, Moselle?

She come to see Lil Toine.

Man, I don't think so.

What business is it
of yours who I see?

Oh, this is my business, girl!

B.G.: Chill, girls, chill!

Take it outside, both
of you, now. Go, go.

We'll explain the process to you

when your mother arrives, okay?

B.G.: That's what happens
when you run, man.

Booty call.

Yosh, get these two
in separate rooms.

Gonna miss that, I bet.

Actually, I will.

He's just a boy.

You know, I was
really sorry to hear

that nothing worked out for you.

Had my fingers
crossed for a faculty spot.

Well, it wasn't meant to be.

You know, I have
heard of foreign doctors

who were willing to
start over as Interns.

Oh, God.

Ugh, I know. I-I
can't even imagine.

Actually, I do
have one last-ditch,

desperate chance
in half an hour,

so, uh, wish me luck.

GIRL: I said stay away from him!

GIRL 2: You stay away!

Hey, call Security!

Hey! Hey!

I said, take it outside!

Who you talking to? Shut up!

Take it out now. Go.

She crazy, man!

I called Security.

I'm calling the police,
so move fast. Go!

Shut up!

HATHAWAY: Nice work, Kerry.

I'm glad I stayed
on your good side.

Excuse me, nurse.

I'm Mr. Savage. I
know you're busy here,

but I've been
waiting a long time.

Yeah, well, Mr. Savage,
I am a doctor,

and you have to wait your turn.

You're not a nurse?

Rob Savage? Yeah.

I have your chart right here.

You can't smoke that in here.

Follow me.

Jerry, get this mess cleaned up

and call Climate Control

to send down some parkas.

[CHEERING]

Do you know where the
Rowdies/Crush game is?

Just started.

I'm looking for my daughter.

MAN: There's
girls on this league.

She's not playing on
a coed team. Rachel!

MAN: Go!

Go all the way, Brandon!

Take her.

Take her! She can't stop you!

Easy as pie!

Hang in there,
Rach! You'll be fine.

Take her! Take her!

Tough D!

MAN: Go!

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Where's the flag?

Flag? Flag's right there.

Penalty kick!

This one's yours,
son. Easy point.

She can't stop you.

Goalie's a girl! Put her away!

Hang in there, Rach!

This guy's got nothing!

Don't worry, Rachel.
Hang in there. You'll do fine!

Hang tough!

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[CROWD GASPS]

WOMAN: Is she all right?

[MURMURING]

I need a first-aid kit.

Sorry to kick so hard.

It wasn't that hard.

Hey, you okay?

Dad, you're here.

Yeah.

That was a great save.

That, uh, first-aid
kit was empty.

Does she want some ice?

Uh... naw. Naw, she's tough.

Hey, you got
leaves in your hair.

[CROWD APPLAUDING]

I've had it before,
I... I just can't pee.

How long has it been this time?

About two and a half days.

It's pretty uncomfortable.

Put this gown on.

I'm gonna go and
check with the doctor.

Last time they had
to stick this tube...

Foley catheter? Yeah.

What are you doing?

Having a smoke.

You can't smoke.

Not even in here?

No. Get undressed.

I'll be right back.

[GIRL CRYING]

CARTER: Hold on, I
got you, sweetheart.

What's up?

Multiple stab wounds.

Happened out in the bay.

Ah, man, Weaver
kicked her out of Chairs.

God.

Uh, do you know where she is?

No, I don't know.

Page her.

Peter. How have you been?

Oh, good.

I was just checking
something on Reece's chart.

Is he having a problem?

No, he's fine.

Well, he did have
an ear infection,

but I know he was
given furosemide

when he was a neonate.

Hm. He had pulmonary edema.

Yeah, and gentamicin
when he was here, right?

That's right.

Was his hearing tested then?

Uh...

Right here. OAE,
normal screening.

Was that testing
done before or after

he received the ototoxic drugs?

Both.

And dosages were in
the safe therapeutic range.

Does your son
have a hearing loss?

No, no. I was just
double-checking.

Sorry to bother you.

Not a bother.

BP's up to 85.

CARTER: Chest tube's in.

Thora-Seal to suction.

Why do we put a chest
tube in, Miss Knight?

To re-expand the lung.

Pulse ox is falling, 86.

What the hell?

WRIGHT: Three hundred
cc's of blood out the chest tube.

All right. Let's, uh, check
another hemoglobin.

Lucy, draw the blood.

Me? Yeah.

Damn. Look at that.

Air bubbles.

She's got Sub-Q emphysema.

Air bubbles from that wound.

We're not getting any
oxygen to her lungs.

Lucy, get to work.

One cc of venous blood.

HATHAWAY: Pulse ox is
down to 83. What's going on?

I think she lacerated her
right mainstem bronchus.

Stop bagging.

What are you doing?

If I can intubate

past the laceration, we
shouldn't have an air leak.

You're only ventilating
one lung, Carter.

That's better than none.

Got it.

WRIGHT: I'll check
the hemoglobin.

Hey,

pulse ox is 90. No air leak.

Nice work, Carter.

CARTER: Nice work all around.

All right, call Anesthesia.

Tell 'em we need
a Carlen ET tube.

Hang on, hemoglobin's 8.9.

What?

CARTER: What was it before?

WRIGHT: 13.7.

CARTER: She dropped
the hemoglobin five points?

Hang on.

CARTER: This one must
have lacerated her liver.

Hang two units O-neg
now. Let's call the O.R.

Let me do another hemoglobin.

The machine wasn't calibrated.

What does a sudden
drop in crit indicate?

Uh, intra-abdominal hemorrhage?

Her vitals are okay.

Hold up on the O-neg.

Hemoglobin's 12.8.

Well, that's more like it.

Cancel the O.R. Send her to CT.

Carol, let's get that
machine checked out, huh?

Yeah.

You having fun?

Oh, yeah.

I knew that. I knew it.

You never do a blood
draw above an IV,

the fluid dilutes the blood.

That's right.

Thank you for covering for me.

I won't do it again.

If you don't know
something, ask.

The docs know you're learning.

I know, but you're
judged from the word "go."

And I just don't want
to look incompetent.

You're judged because
it's life or death in here.

I know.

I just didn't think I'd
have so much trouble

with simple procedures.

Your problem is you
want to be perfect.

Get over it.

You're a beginner.

It's not gonna be easy.

Last night, I went to
the Procedures Lab,

and I practiced my
IVs on a mannequin.

And I got them all right,
every time on the first try.

That's good. You keep it up.

But know when to ask for help.

Hey, you guys just
missed a good one.

Sent a guy straight
up to the O.R.

Perfed his intestine
with a carrot.

A whole carrot?

How do you swallow
a whole carrot?

Didn't swallow.

Oh, I get it.

Yeah.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, God.

Swallowed a carrot.

[LAUGHS]

That is a classic, Lucy.

Hey, can you, uh, work up
this shoulder injury for me?

Yeah.

I lucked out
getting her, didn't I?

Yeah. I like her.

But she's still a beginner.

What do you mean?

She's still getting
her bearings.

She needs guidance,
especially in procedures.

Aw, come on. Relax, Carol.

Lucy's a natural.

Hell, I'm jealous too.

No, no, no. Carter,
you're way off base.

I'm not jealous at all. I...

I don't believe this.

Excuse me.

Mr. Savage, exactly which part

of "no smoking" did
you not understand?

I have to go now.
My nurse is here.

Give it to me.

What are you, an idiot?

The doctor said I
need a Foley catheter.

Yeah, I'm not so sure

you're gonna want
me to put it in, though.

I'll be good. Hand it over.

Come on. The whole pack.

Why? Because I said so.

Mr. Savage, I'm not
gonna wrestle you.

Give me the cigarettes.

Now, lie back.

What about a rectal?

That's next.

Will it hurt?

Only if I want it to.

Aesop, move in.

Stop.

COMPUTER: Standing by.

Move left.

Stop.

That is a perfect view.

The arm responds
whenever it's addressed.

I'm going to zap this adhesion.

Hold on. Everybody protected?

ROMANO: Okay. Looks good.

Shooting.

BLEVINS: Isn't it
risky to use a laser

when contact cautery
would do the job?

Well, you do have to
be precise shooting,

but, uh, you can avoid
inadvertent burns...

Angie.

Which you can have with a Bovie.

Still, I wouldn't want a KTP
laser in the wrong hands.

And elevate the gall bladder.

Mm-hm.

COMPUTER: Standing by.

Aesop.

Move back.

Stop.

You make it look
easy, Dr. Corday.

Bet she can walk and chew
gum at the same time too.

Oh, she can.

COMPUTER: Standing by.

You're saying she's been
stridorous for a month?

The high-pitched wheezing
when she breathes?

At least.

So why'd it take so long
for you to bring her in?

The other hospital gave
her some stuff for croup,

and they said it
would help, but it didn't.

Go like this: "ah, ah."

What kind of stuff?

Was it, uh,
steroids, antibiotics?

One of them was pink.

Well, I don't see
edema or swelling.

Is it possible she
swallowed something?

Maybe.

I can't watch her every moment.

Excuse me.

Someone wants to see you, Doug.

I'm with a patient.

WEAVER: Yeah.
He's quite insistent.

Okay.

We're gonna do some x-rays
of the neck and the chest,

see if we can find
an obstruction.

If I don't see anything,
we'll do an endoscopy,

which is, uh...

Take a look down
the throat, all right?

I'll be right back.

You know, if you said
that to get a reaction,

I'm not biting. Said what?

Endoscopy.

That's pretty invasive.

The kid's been
stridorous for a month.

Hey, Carter.

Can I borrow Lucy for a minute?

Sure.

Mr. Savage in
Exam 2 needs an IV.

Oh?

No. Don't worry.

This guy's a real
pain in the ass.

Doesn't seem to feel a
thing. He's perfect for you.

It's you? That's right.

I want the treatment.
I got a right.

You understand
that I'm a pediatrician.

You got that baby
clean, I heard.

I can give you names
of some clinics...

I can't afford a clinic.
Did you charge the kid?

That was a special
case. No, I'm special!

Maybe I don't
look like it to you.

I don't treat adults.

But she said you are
the only one who does it.

I don't do it. I
don't do it, okay?

Have a seat. I will get
you some numbers...

I don't want numbers!

I want that detox!

All right, Kerry, you
made your point.

You know what? I'm
not making a point, Doug.

This is the real
fallout of your actions.

Send me the requests.
I'll set them straight.

A journal article
reaches more people.

That guy doesn't read journals.

At least you could
justify your decision.

I'm not interested
in justifying anything.

I am concerned if
false hopes were raised.

It was one good outcome.
Was it a good outcome?

Mother and baby
are still doing well?

Well, as far as I know, yes.

Yeah. So follow-up
care is not part

of your extraordinary measures?

I am an ER doc, just like you.

Not like me, Doug.

You acted without the
consent of your colleagues.

[♪♪♪]

WEAVER: What have we got?

13-year-old karate student.

Collapsed after his instructor's
demo kick to the chest.

Firefighters were
first on the scene.

They started CPR.

We arrived on the scene

about eight minutes
after the call.

Found him apneic and pulseless

with initial rhythm of V-fib.

Where's the teacher?

Drove behind me.
Parents are on the way.

How long en route?
Seven minutes,

15 minutes at the scene.

He's been down for 30 minutes.

Okay. Let's go.

One, two, three.

Yosh, take over compressions.

Get him on a monitor.

Stand by with high-dose epi.

Good breath sounds
with ventilation.

WEAVER: Nice intubation, Zadro.

Okay. Hold compressions.

Is it that sudden-death
condition for athletes?

Commotio cordis? Maybe.

[EKG FLATLINES]

TAKATA: Asystole.

WEAVER: Resume compressions.

Give him the epi,
four milligrams IV.

Pupils fixed and dilated.

I should've just
driven to the morgue.

Let's set up the
external pacemaker.

Put on the pacing pad.

JERRY: Carol.

Harriet Goodwyn,

Mr. Savage's private-duty nurse.

He called from here
a little while ago.

I hope I haven't missed him.

No, he's still here.

Did he already
have a Foley cath?

Well, he complained
of inability to urinate.

I'm sorry he did this.

Did what?

Mr. Savage has a problem.

He enjoys procedures,

especially when
administered by a nurse.

Oh, my God. I sent
a student in there.

Just don't scold him.

I already did that.

That's part of what he wants.

I'm sorry. I can't get it.

Try the foot.

Lucy, you can stop now.

GOODWYN: Mr. Savage.

Nurse Goodwyn.

Carol, I couldn't get it.

It turns out he doesn't need it.

Maybe if you show me again.

I'll show you later.

I think Doug Ross
is looking for you.

It's not Saturday, is it?

It's Thursday.

I just saw you yesterday.
Couldn't you wait?

[DIALING PHONE]

What are you doing?

I'm calling Psych down here.

Oh, I can handle this.

Yes. Hello.

I need a Psych
consult to the ER.

Thank you.

Will you take me home?

We'll see.

Look, you can release him to me.

It's no sweat.

You're not a real RN, are you?

My clients like to think I am.

You might want to
see Psych yourself.

[SCOFFS]

Hey, it works for me.

I'm in control.

Yeah. Right.

Coach was going crazy.

Kept saying, "I barely hit him."

13 years old.

It happened to my daughter.

About an hour ago,
she got hit in the park.

No first aid anywhere.

For commotio cordis,
you have to get hit

in just the right spot
on the chest, right?

Yeah, and it's about timing.

There's a split-second
upstroke of the T wave

when the heartbeat
resets itself.

In that instant,

a blow will send the
heart into fibrillation.

So by the time we got there...

Don't fire trucks carry
automated defibrillators?

This one didn't.

There's something
we could change.

We're moving to the
higher frequencies.

Okay.

You may want to
use your earplugs,

Dr. Benton.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

4-K at 100.

[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]

BENTON: It's a funny bear, huh?

Please don't speak
during the test.

Oh. Sorry.

4-K at 90.

[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]

4-K at 80.

[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]

[♪♪♪]

Reece. Come on,
man, pay attention.

4-K at 85.

[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]

Moving to the 8-K frequency.

8-K at 90.

[EXTREMELY HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]

Let's try that again.

[RINGING CONTINUES]

Glad they found you.

I was on my way out
when I got the page.

Not as sexy as our afternoon
with Aesop, but, hey...

even a gangbanger
shot in the butt has needs.

Yeah. I met him earlier.

You were outstanding
with Aesop today.

Made me rethink my
decision to let you go.

Did it?

I even called upstairs.

Unfortunately, the
money's no longer there.

I see.

Well, maybe you should
apply again next year.

Ready?

Sure.

All right. Now, why
are we scoping her?

Her films were negative,

and sometimes plastics
don't show up in x-rays.

Uh-huh. Did you hear the one

about the patient that
swallowed a carrot?

[SIGHS]

Dr. Carter told you?

No, Jerry told me.

Great.

[DOOR OPENS]

I found the mom.
She's out on the phone.

All right. We'll
have to talk to her.

Take a look at that.

It's a classic case of
pedunculated papilloma.

So her mother had a
sexually transmitted disease

and the baby caught it
through the birth canal?

Gold star.

No small bowel injuries.
We're ready for the colostomy.

Hold on. The path of the bullet

is awfully close to the ureter.

Janet, I need an amp
of IV methylene blue.

Looks to me like the
bullet cleared the ureter.

Sometimes you
can't visualize a tear

so close to the UV junction.

Fresh lap pad.

I'd argue with her, but
I've seen their soccer fans.

GAA stapler, please.

If you're dreading your
dinner with your dad,

there are other ways to delay.

I'm looking forward to dinner
with my father, thank you.

I need suction.

Suctioning.

So I expect your father's
eager to have you back.

Didn't he always want
you in his practice?

He has made that
offer before, yes.

Kocher.

Terrific specialty, the heart.

It's very romantic,
I've always thought.

But working with
a family member...

Shall I Bovie? Please do.

I couldn't do it,
work with family.

Robert, you can't
work with anyone.

Uh, doctor, there's blue
urine in the Foley bag.

Let's check.

Well, I'll be damned.

I guess the bullet
nicked the ureter

after all.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Is she okay? I want to see her.

She's fine. She's resting.

Uh, Ms. Brown, were
you ever diagnosed

with genital warts?

What's that got to
do with anything?

Have you ever been
treated for any kind

of a sexually
transmitted disease?

That's none of your business.

Didn't anybody suggest to you

that a C-section would
prevent you from spreading

the illness to your child?

What the hell are you saying?

You infected your daughter

with human papilloma virus...

My daughter...

is adopted.

[ELEVATOR BELL RINGS]

Ms. Brown, I owe you an apology.

The loss is more profound
at the higher frequencies.

It's a common finding.

In lower pitches,

Reece begins
perception at 70 decibels,

which is considered
a severe loss.

[WHINES]

But shouldn't a doctor
take a look at that?

He will, and he'll
want to meet with you.

But he's in surgery,

and I know you wanted
to hear the results.

Yeah, I did. Look, I mean...

you're jumping to conclusions
after one subjective test.

The good news
is that Reece tests

within the aidable range.

With digital hearing aids,

he can be brought up
into this speech banana.

In this range, he could
develop language skills.

Could?

[PHONE RINGS]

Unaided, Reece can't
hear talking or crying

or the telephone.

It's a severe-to-profound loss.

You're saying
this after one test.

I mean, look, Reece wouldn't
even wear the headset.

Most toddlers won't.

Two weeks ago, ENT
said it was an ear infection.

But his ears are clear now.

Okay, look, I don't want
to argue with you, okay?

I just want to talk to a doctor.

As soon as possible.

Okay. We'll set that up.

Did I miss Doug?

Uh, yeah, just.

He went up to Pedes
to talk to Alex Babcock.

The pediatric anesthesiologist?

What's that about?

Kerry, you'd probably
have to ask him that.

You know, you are so right.

Could you tell him

that I can't make the
tee time tomorrow?

Rachel's got soccer
practice. I don't want to miss it.

Good for you, Mark.

Has anybody noticed
the temperature in here?

Feels like a perfect 72 degrees.

Actually, I was
thinking it was a little...

Stuffy. Chilly.

Good day today, Lucy.
Don't work too late.

I won't.

Someone's gotta be
bright-eyed tomorrow.

I will be. Did you
even eat today?

You know, if you're hungry,
I didn't finish my lunch.

Oh, no. I'm okay.

Well, all I have is a carrot.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Okay. So I'm an idiot.

WEAVER: What? What's up?

Mañana.

Carol Hathaway? That's me.

Lynette Evans.

I've been working per
diem up on the third floor.

And Don Anspaugh hasn't
told you a word about me yet.

Oh, I'm afraid not.

What can you expect of
Admin besides dropping the ball?

He was supposed
to come down here

and blow my horn, so I
wouldn't have to do it myself.

Well, anyway I hear
you have an opening

for a nurse practitioner
in your clinic.

Oh, I'd settle for an RN.

Our budget just
got approved today.

Well, a nurse practitioner,
which I am, by the way,

would serve you better.

Well, since I can
write prescriptions,

and I know from time to
time, you can't call any docs.

Have you worked here already?

No. I ran my own clinic,
Southside, before it closed.

That's where I know Don.

Oh, right. I heard
about that clinic.

Bye for now, suckers.

See you next time.

Are you talking to
anybody in particular?

You addressing the
nurses and doctors

who took care of you?

What you do, fall on that head?

No, I got shot.

I beg your pardon?

I got shot, ma'am.

Then I think you'd better say,

"Thank you for
saving my sorry life."

She wasn't my nurse.

The rate you're going,
she will be next time.

Just say it.

Thank you for saving my life.

You're welcome.

All that boy needs is somebody
to smack him upside his head.

Um...

Here's my number.

Keep me in mind.

I will.

In fact, um...

I think you're great.

[CHUCKLES]

And, uh, actually...

I-I shouldn't waste our time.

I'm just going to, um...

I'll hire you right now.

Oh, I'm gonna like your style.

[LAUGHS]

Oh. Great.

Good.

ROSS: No, Adele Neuman
thought you might know something.

Is Adele the social
worker? Mm-hm.

Yeah, I called her
when the mom failed

to bring baby Josh in for
his follow-up appointment.

It was two weeks ago.

So they disappeared.

It's not necessarily bad news.

I don't know, the
mom's a junkie.

Well, she had a
sister in the Carolinas

who, uh, sounded pretty stable.

For Josh's sake,

I'm hoping that's
where they wound up.

I guess I'm just lucky she
doesn't want to sue me.

I think she appreciated
what you did for her baby.

Mm-hm.

Enough to take
care of him herself?

YOUNG MAN: Dr. Ross.

Remember me?

You're Dr. Ross, right?

Oh, yeah, you're the
skateboard champ, right?

Fractured your arm.

Good thing you were
wearing a helmet.

Yeah, that's me.

What are you doing here?

You should have seen
Ruben two days ago.

RUBEN: My arm was killing me.

Yeah?

You couldn't even touch
me like that, it hurt so bad.

Yeah. You were in rough shape.

From the fracture?

Been on morphine
for months. No relief.

Sounds like neuropathic pain.

Exactly.

My brain was, like,
getting its signals crossed.

Hm. Switch to gabapentin?

Yep. Got to know
what kind of pain

you're dealing with.

So, what you're saying is,
you saved two lives today.

Well, I saved the
boy from sepsis

and a second trip
to the O.R., at least.

To a wonderful doctor.

[SIGHS]

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

And a partner I'd
be proud to have.

Actually, Daddy, uh...

I'm gonna have to turn you down.

I know this doesn't
make much sense.

But I have given
it a lot of thought.

After we sewed up
that gangbanger...

I mean, it wasn't a fancy save.

It wasn't high-tech.

In fact, it was the
kind of surgery

one could almost
do as an intern.

You're not thinking of
starting all over again?

Why not?

I mean, yes, it will
be a blow to my ego.

But on the other hand,

I'll be practicing
medicine still.

It's not so shabby,
saving lives.

And it's a means to
what I really want to do,

which is to stay here.

How much does Peter
Benton figure in this plan?

I have to be a little protective
after he stood us up tonight.

Peter's complicated.

He had something
else on his mind.

And you know I'd never make
a decision based on a man.

That said...

[LAUGHS] [GIGGLES]

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

I don't know what to say.

I could never have tolerated
going back to the beginning...

once I'd finished
the fifth year.

It'll only be for a year.

And then I'll have a
license to practice here.

Does it seem like I'm giving up?

On the contrary.

I've never seen
you fight harder.

Thank you.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC GROWS LOUDER]

Reece.

[MUSIC GROWS LOUDER]

[MUSIC GROWS LOUDER]

Come on, man.

[♪♪♪]
