finest medical facilities in eastern

waiting for this mayor

with the appropriation

and our knight in shining armor mr paul

striker put us over the top

[Applause]

remodel by the first of next year and

speech to all your residents or only the

female ones

what you got gunshot to the left for

idol

exit it didn't what was this condition

when they brought him in

his left pupil was dilating

did you get an x-ray ct scan

what are you going to do with this

bullet remove it or leave it in

you can die while you make up your mind

doctor all you have to do is move a

little bit slower

you won't kill him but you won't save

him either

what are you going to do leave it in

why there's a very high incidence of

sagittal sinus thrombosis

the sun is cuts off he'll die if i

remove it he could bleed to death

yes i don't know if the bullets and the

sinus are just plugging the dye

it's safe to leave it in it's a matter

of judgment judgment

yes

that's what lives depend on your right

nice job kiddo thanks

now that we've seen our post-ops we're

going to be taking a look at our

referrals for evaluation

mr harris is scheduled for an mri this

afternoon he's been experiencing

dizziness

and slurred speech

[Music]

[Music]

you didn't talk to her i did tonight i

get to stay up

mr craig was in the military from the

time i met him when we were 18

until the day he died so that means i

was in the military too

we had to pick up and move the family

every year or so

and i had to learn to follow orders the

same way he did

is there a point to this story the point

miss wills is that your mother

gave me my orders the child goes to bed

at nine o'clock not 9

15 not 9 30. and i never heard even a

whisper about the child

staying up to all hours i take my orders

from the top

got it

[Music]

but i'm not gonna salute

the damage of the past year

didn't know offered to walk me to my car

he said that it was too dark and

dangerous to be out alone he said that

that he was an x-ray technician there so

i let him

and then when we got to my car he

heard me you let a stranger walk with

you

you tell me never to talk to strangers

or go anywhere with anybody i didn't

know

look you tell me that all the time yes i

thought that it was

stupid you're right carrie you're right

i wasn't thinking bad things can happen

and you've got to be careful you weren't

careful

i'm all right you're supposed to be

smart you're a doctor aren't you

how can you be so dumb

this look like his hairline it was dark

i

i can't was he wearing a hat no

he walked you from the building all the

way to the parking lot didn't he

yes you were able to see his face

weren't you

yes but it was dark well you told us

that doctor now think for a minute

try to remember we gotta know what we're

looking for

i don't know about his hairline i really

don't know okay what about the color of

the chair

how's that

yes something like that

thin what about the face the cheekbones

oh he had a in a fairly thin face

the eyes far apart close set wide wide

set

something like this

[Music]

doctor i hardly looked at him

all right the entrance to the building

was well lit right

yes now you told us you uh bumped into

him and had a conversation with a man

right

am i right he was

average looking like a thousand other

men

tell me aren't doctors trained to be

observant yes in the operating room with

a patient

i was off duty i was exhausted i wanted

to get home to my daughter how many

minutes would you say you're in

conversation with

two five at least two do you realize how

long two minutes can be doctor you're

telling me you don't remember anything

about his face

if i knew he was gonna rape me i would

have looked closer well maybe you don't

want to remember his face

maybe you're sorry you reported it at

all he had a knife a man i never met

before slugged me across the face pulled

a knife on me and raped me

is god is my witness if i could have

pulled that knife away from him i would

have killed him

i don't wear it anymore frank

think about a doctor if you can remember

anything call me okay

look doctor from what we know about

rapists they almost always perform

the same way is there anything at all

you can tell us about what he said or

what he did

he just clamped his hand over my mouth

and

hit me

i fought back and uh

[Music]

well then he uh then he got on top of me

and

said gotcha

and then he raped me right before he

raped you

yeah all right doctor thank you

if anything else encourage you give us a

call you better get some counseling

that's going to hit you when the shock

where it's off

do your job i don't know

uh

[Music]

yes

[Music]

me

[Music]

gary didn't you hear me i wanted you to

come get me

i'm right here did you go to work today

no i had to go to the police station and

answer some questions

so i can catch the guy yes

what if he comes back gary he doesn't

know where i live

he doesn't even know my name the man who

hurt me can

possibly harm you you think that's what

i'm worried about

well i'm not i'm not worried about that

guy good

i'm glad

you know it doesn't have to be the same

guy

something terrible can happen anyway

something terrible happened to daddy and

now you

nothing's gonna stop it from happening

to me

we don't know that gary i'm never gonna

let anything hurt you

i promise you that it doesn't matter

how do you comfort a child who believes

the world is made up of catastrophes

when she sees you're all right she'll

get past it

one night about six months ago i called

my husband from the hospital

told him i'd be late again that's okay

he said i'll go get chinese and keep it

warm in the oven

on the way home a drunk driver

hit his car straight on the driver's

side

by the time they got him to the hospital

he was dead okay uh

why have you kept all this stuff to

yourself

because i have two more years of

residency to finish that i've gotta

finish

and i have a daughter to raise alone i

understand

it must have been very tough okay yeah

at first she thought i chose medicine

over her all the long hours and the time

away from home

i tried to explain about the positions

people take in life

things that give meaning to you but a

child doesn't care who else you are

you are their mother first and always

just when we were beginning to see the

light at the end of the tunnel the

accident happened

yes you will is that a prediction

unless you allow yourself to be human

i can't there's too much pain

i just can't

try to get there earlier

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

it's been just a week dr willis no one's

asking you to return to the hospital so

soon

i'm all right i can work well i know you

think that today but what about

next week or the week after don't

second-guess me doctor

my decision to make

uh he was hiding in the backseat of the

car and he said he would get me if i

screamed close enough

no oh porter give it up

no i mean another got you rapist

and she mentioned to me i rang a bell

it's been driving me crazy ever since

well now you're driving me crazy

satisfied well that just goes along with

the territory i'm just trying to

move it along a little funny when you

retire you can play the comedy circuit

listen to this one he was very calm

about it and he just looked at me as i

get out of the shower

and he made me lie down on the tile

floor it was wet and cold

he rolled over on top of me and he said

gotcha ten years ago hung jury brent

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

we have a 52 year old male found

comatose bloody spinal tap

ct scan found blood in the ventricles he

was admitted early this morning

and his condition is essentially

unchanged

the question is do we operate

immediately

riga what do you say isn't it accept a

procedure to wait

and wait and see if um

the patient wakes up you're not asking a

question

dr rieger are you

no then state your opinion clearly

without the question mark at the end

you don't know what to do for the

patient no one does

do you wait 10 days for the basal artery

spasm to subside

do you increase the blood pressure to

profuse better he's in stage four

statistics favor waiting

and you're patient the next 48 hours

will tell

it's a judgment call informed by

knowledge

learn your facts doctors

[Music]

[Music]

um

come

[Music]

all on

[Music]

request assistance

[Music]

there was a day that's probably

apocryphal back in 1955

call that story i've got to hear the end

of it

dr willis i'll be there

they're bringing in a head one want to

play why not

a pitch i'll catch but uh no extra

innings i got dinner plans tonight

our negative if we have to

all right turn them towards me

put them on the donut

[Music]

oh my god what is it

okay come on let's

he move me this is the man who raped me

good another surgeon there's no one

available kate's a senior resident on

call vape anybody for god's sake come on

he'll be gone by the time they get here

okay

okay let's do it

hey bill how are you okay

got some epoxy here kate i don't know

why he's not getting enough oxygen

there's blood oozing from the

surrounding tissues i

think the bullet's in the sinus but i'm

not even sure we can find it i'm

[Music]

suctioning

[Music]

i see it i see the bullet so much blood

not responding well

does the bullet stay in does it come out

kate

is it in or out damn it

let's get it out

[Music]

boots out hurry up give him blood

now he's losing too much

heart stopped get the crash card

[Music]

it's not responding stop cpr

[Music]

he's gone

[Music]

[Music]

what was the man's condition when he was

brought in confused

obtunded yes but awake he was awake

yes and you recognized him yes

then explain to us both doctor if you

can why you went ahead with surgery

his pressure was dropping uh he'd lost a

lot of did you

really think you were competent at that

moment to operate on a man who had raped

you

i was the only surgeon immediately

available it was your afternoon off dr

greenway tell me dr willis uh why did

you elect to remove the bullet

it was my judgment to do so explain your

reasons

we were lucky to find the bullet it had

lodged in the sinus it was my opinion it

should come out

obviously you were wrong well maybe

hindsight gives you 20 20 vision dr

greenway but at the time

i made the right choice why don't you

have a seat dr greenway

we're not adversaries here

uh given the amount of bleeding you must

have known there was substantial risk in

removing the bullet

i believe there was greater risk in

leaving it in it was accessible but

embedded

deeply embedded yes and the risk of

tearing the sinus

i considered it dr willis the man bled

to death

he did not the man's heart stopped he

died of cardiac arrest

if a patient is bleeding from the head

the low blood pressure affects the other

vital structures i know that if you

cannot give him blood and get his

pressure up

then you do something else which may not

be as good for the patient in the long

run

but which might allow him to survive now

i did everything i could

you were in no emotional condition to

operate on that man

i did everything humanly possible given

the circumstances

well it wasn't good enough

i greenway flayed me open

yeah yeah she's tough

was i up to it what if i had chosen to

leave the bullet in what if i had acted

more

quickly wait a minute doctor you got to

put those questions aside

could another surgeon have saved him was

i responsible for a man's death

was i wally

so

[Music]

mommy oh carrie

i'm sorry no no it's okay

i never mind never mind i'm sorry

i just i don't want any more pain

[Music]

don't cry

the man died on the operating table

they say it's my fault is that he's dead

[Music]

yes what do they think you did wrong

[Music]

well it's complicated

because you could never kill somebody

they don't know you

i do and that's that's just not

something you could do

you sound like your daddy

that's what he would have said

[Music]

good oh gary

i miss him i miss him

so do i

oh god it's worth it it's so lonely

i have this this huge egg that

just doesn't seem to go away

you know what else he'd say

what what he said it all the time

[Music]

only listen to the good guys oh

you and me pumpkin we're the good guys

just only listen to me

[Music]

okay okay

[Music]

joe that guy that got shot the other day

on i-680 we ran to make on him we got

our man

yeah stuyvesant brent allen stuyvesant

positive id same fingerprints died on

the tape a bullet wound to the head

who's the operating doctor

one guest

dr kate willis

mrs poole has been diagnosed as a

cervical radiculopathy

horny mrs gould is it

this school has had a pain down her arms

for the past six months she's been in a

cast we've tried traction nothing seems

to work

peterson what would your next course of

action be uh what were her emg results

positive then i guess i'd operate

i concur mrs gould is scheduled for

surgery first thing tomorrow morning

no well there's nothing to worry about

no why don't you want the surgery

it'll help relieve your pain i didn't

say i didn't want the surgery

then what i don't want you to do it dr

willis

i'm not having you operate on me

why is that mrs gould i have my reasons

i want another surgeon why go to another

hospital

she didn't want me because of what she'd

heard which was

that i had killed a patient in the

operating room deliberately

she said that she didn't have the guts

to another patient did said he heard it

from a nurse who heard it from another

nurse

or or a resident wait wait wait wait

he's like wait a minute

come on wait wait that's just hospital

gossip line stuff

how do i continue to function in a

hospital where my fellow doctors believe

i murdered someone

situation's unusual of course obvious

would be a better word

i mean it couldn't be more obvious if

someone had given the woman a knife and

told her to do what she wanted

why she falsely accused brent of raping

her i will never know he's not

capable of doing anything like that

i mean she must be crazy and then my

husband mysteriously dies under her

hands

i want this woman arrested for murder

mrs stuyvesant your husband was arrested

for rape 10 years ago

and convicted hung jury case dismissed

then it's accusation nothing more

we're talking about murder here mr

o'donnell

my husband's murder now i'm starting

with you because i hear you do your job

extremely well

but believe me if you falter

i know exactly where to go and whom to

speak with

detective porter will ask a few

questions

see what he can come up with how long

will this take

when we know something you'll know thank

you

let's keep quiet about this willis thing

this may be nothing at all

maybe

meaning read willis's statement she said

if she would have had a knife that night

she would have killed him herself

fate gave her the opportunity and the

weapon

he died of cardiac arrest caused by

shock probably

effects of the wound excessive bleeding

lots of things

could you die from something the surgeon

did no

there's no indication of that

okay thanks but a surgeon doesn't

necessarily have to do

something to a patient to kill him

sometimes it's what he didn't do

like why like waiting too long

hesitating

now it wouldn't show up on the

pathologist's report there'll never be

any evidence of it

but if he hesitates even for a fraction

of a second he may kill the patient

but not deliberately who's to say what's

deliberate

man is fallible mr porter valuable in

his skills

available in his motives

okay thank you

good afternoon dr willis you got a

minute not really i have to pick up my

daughter from school

mind if i walk into your car let's i got

into trouble the last time

look uh i'll level with you

this morning

[Music]

would you tell dr greenway i like to see

her immediately

have you ever performed an operation

exactly like this before why all these

questions

just routine for a cop you're a bad liar

mr porter all right

look we have a very difficult situation

here you think i wanted him dead

maybe oh no no i wanted him to stand

trial

i wanted him to be punished i wanted him

to understand what he did to me

[Music]

the man was brought in like any other

emergency

he was operated on just like any other

in surgery either that's the report i'm

submitting to the medical board and it

ought to put the matter to rest

a little premature don't you think carol

i want to put an end to it

what everybody's saying detective

porter's been asking questions

carol how long we been here

and how long we waited to rebuild this

hospital

since the day we started the slightest

hint of a scandal a wrongful death suit

and paul striker's going to snatch up

his money and go home

so you're asking me to consider the

greater good and forget the smaller

truth

the truth is as i wrote it perhaps

but there has got to be an investigation

within the hospital somebody has got to

speak to every physician and every nurse

who was in that operating room and if

you won't do it

i will

mrs steinerson tim mateson youngstown

times

come in

[Music]

for how long how long have you worked

there

you don't seem very old uh mrs

stuyvesant i'm old enough to listen and

you're certainly old enough to do the

talking that's

all we need i want it on the front page

you want to take that up with my editor

mr burroughs

shall we start

dr kate willis killed my husband

let me do that then you're filling up

the bucket with those tears

my theory is tears make spaghetti sauce

taste better

cuts the acidity in the tomato sauce

yeah

whatever that is what we're making here

is comfort food and i think we both

could use a healthy portion right about

now

i always thought chicken soup was

comfort food you know when you're sick

you're supposed to have chicken soup

that's right and when you're having

life's troubles you're supposed to have

comfort

food maybe in your generation but not

kids

and what did your generation have

hamburgers

oh how could i have forgotten you know

mom you're getting old the memory's

going

chop the green pepper

[Music]

well i'm telling you blodgett said that

she's recording every session so she's

got all her answers for the record

oh god

why does this remind me of the

principal's office

thank you doctor

dr shaw you're next

dr greenlee why are you doing this

dr mcmahon said that his report to the

medical board found no culpability that

was his conclusion i have yet to make

mine

[Music]

well that's the purpose of the grand

jury investigation isn't it

to gather evidence to get the facts

public it's investigatory

i can't imagine why you wouldn't support

me on that could you explain that to me

mr mayor

mr stuyvesant rda found no reason to

prosecute

the youngstown times sees it differently

you spoke to the press no one is taking

my husband's death

seriously

my husband was murdered mr payson i'm

not gonna turn my back and pretend it

didn't happen

i'm in trouble aren't i mr hale

it would seem so

i've made up my mind i want to testify

before the grand jury

you want my opinion that is a bad choice

why if what they hear is the truth

because

i'm not permitted to be there to help

you

so that anything that you tell them can

be used against you later

look i didn't want that man to die

that's the truth and i have to have a

chance to tell them that

mr hill revenge never crossed my mind

not for a second all right

it'll take a petition but i'll do it

you're shaking

i'm terrified you have the best lawyer

in town

and i can hold my own with any of those

guys from cincinnati and cleveland too

murder cases are my specialty

mr mayor mr mayor mr mayor mr mayor mr

mayor do you support the convening of

the grand jury mr mayor

well of course i support it there's no

better way of getting the facts out to

the people

than you think the entire story hasn't

been told mr man please

we are gathering facts to determine if

and i say if

there is a need for criminal prosecution

now this is an investigatory process

it's not a trial

you people just slow down okay i mean

the horse is not even out of the barn

yet and uh

you're locking the door listen i gotta

run i'm really late

detective porter you were assigned to

the case of rape

involving dr kate willis yes when did

you first meet dr willis

when she came to my office to try to

give us a composite of her assailant

i had a police artist with me and did

her description of her assailant

fit the description of the late brent

allen stuyvesant

more or less was there a time

when she absolutely identified brent

stevenson

yes sir tell us about that

i brought her pictures of several men

previously arrested for rape and asked

her if her assailant was among them

she picked him out immediately let's be

clear about this

she positively identified she said

that's the man who raped me

now detective you also investigated the

events surrounding mr stuyvesant's death

didn't you

yes sir i did and why was that

investigation started

mr stuyvesant's widow was concerned

about the manner in which he was killed

and did you share her concern

i had my questions and why was that

the day dr willis was at the station

with me she told me that if she could

have gotten the knife away from her

rapist she would have killed him on the

spot

somehow the coincidence of it that he in

fact did die under her knife well

made me wonder now dr shaw

you had operated with dr willis prior to

the surgery in question

many times she's a brilliant surgeon

that's not what i asked doctor and it's

a matter of opinion now let's review the

day in question

you were in the operating room before dr

willis entered

yes what happened when she came in

dr willis wanted to know what i'd given

the patient and what his vital signs

were

was he awake barely but his blood

pressure was down

and was dropping as i understand it then

it was imperative that surgery begin as

quickly as possible

yes tell us what happened next

well dr willis asked one of the

residents to secure the patient's head

and then she took a look at him what did

she say

she said that he was the man that raped

her

she must have been shocked

of course we all were did you advise

calling another surgeon to opera

yes i did and i'm sure that dr willis

would have stepped aside but but there

was no other surgeon

immediately available and there was very

little time to waste so dr willis had to

operate

immediately don't you skip something

no it was my understanding that dr

willis

hesitated well for a moment it was it

was just mere seconds

time was negligible you said kate let's

move do you remember saying that

no residents the intern the nurses they

all testified under oath that dr willis

seemed to hesitate and you said

kate let's move i don't remember that

dr shaw are you close friends with dr

willis

yes romantically involved

no is your friendship plotting amendment

no it is not

so doctor do you remember

any other operation performed by dr

willis where she was warned that any

delay

might kill a patient no

you're under oath doctor i don't

remember any such time

you don't recall a time when dr greenway

came into the operating room while dr

willis was operating

and asked her to determine the procedure

she was going to use on a patient who

like grant stuyvesant had been admitted

with a bullet wound to the head

yes dr greenway this that that you

remember what dr greenway said to dr dr

greenway and

let me refresh your memory according to

testimony given by others in the or that

day

dr greenway said to dr willis

he can die while you're making up your

mind doctor all you have to do is move a

little slower

you won't kill him but you won't save

him either

do you remember her saying that

you're taking a comment completely out

of context i'll be all dr shaw

you may step down

[Music]

carrie marie willis what are you doing

up at 2am

the same thing you are worrying

yes i have to testify tomorrow i know

isn't that what you're worried about yes

barry

i have to say the right things i want to

be there

oh sweetheart you have school i don't

want you i want to give you mortal

support

more you want to give me moral support

i'm old enough

i sure could use the help

[Music]

dr shaw had given the patient lasix and

aramine because he didn't have a

dopamine drip

i wanted to give him blood but there

wasn't time to do a cross match

all this took place before you

recognized it

yes and then

i asked the junior resident to put the

patient on a head rest

and he turned his head toward me

and you recognize mr stuyvesant yes

as the man you say raped you yes there's

no doubt in your mind

none now

dr willis did you at one time

tell detective porter that if you could

have wrestled the knife away from your

rapist

you would have killed him

dr willis

do you recall saying that to detective

porter

yes

that your first instinct no what

happened to your thirst for revenge

did it simply evaporate he was a

critically wounded patient his blood

pressure was dropping i knew that i

couldn't tell it she treated him just

like any other patient yes

dr willis didn't dr shaw have to pride

you to move more quickly

just for the moment i do you remember a

time when dr greenway told you

that if you didn't want to save a

patient all you had to do was move a

little slower

in another situation yes thank you dr

willis

what about covers don't you know that

i've replayed that night

over and over in my mind every detail

every move i made every second that went

by until i knew for certain that i did

my best

we're done here dr willis i used every

surgical skill i had i tried to save

that man i wanted him to live

step down dr willis your time here is

finished

carrie mommy

it's all over what'd you do

the best i could but i don't know oh

mommy did you mess up did you say the

wrong things

[Music]

francis would you take care of the car

i'll be there in just a minute you go on

[Music]

sweetheart

[Music]

my testimony is private and privileged

information

you haven't liked me from the first day

we met have you

your likability has nothing to do with

this case i did everything in my power

to save that man i've searched my heart

and i know that's true

but you won't listen you're gonna walk

in there and destroy my life

[Music]

you have observed dr willison's surgery

yes many times

but not on the afternoon question when

she was operating on mr stuyvesant

no when i arrived in the operating room

the patient was already deceased

in your capacity as chief of surgery did

you

question dr willis about the events of

that night yes both dr mcmahon and i

questioned her

and did she acknowledge that there was

perhaps a hesitation on her part

no statements from the residents

the interns and the nurses who assisted

all said that the anesthesiologist had

to caution her

to move more quickly my understanding is

that her hesitation was a fraction of a

second

you had to caution her on a previous

surgery didn't you

no

dr greenway we can't hear the exact

quote from you on that occasion

you said

he can die while you're making up your

mind doctor all you have to do is move a

little slower you won't kill him but you

won't save him either

did you say that to dr willis yes then

you cautioned her before

mr o'donnell i have said those words

to every young surgeon whom i've ever

been responsible

she was not procrastinating i was merely

warning her what could happen if she did

obviously she did mr stuyvesant that is

not obvious to me

would you like to explain that the

amount of time it took her to

move as dr shaw put it could not have

made any difference to this patient

but she elected to remove the bullet

removing the bullet

or leaving it in place is always left to

the judgment of the surgeon

both procedures have risks

what are you saying doctor i'm saying

that in all likelihood this patient

would have died regardless of what was

done for him

regardless of what was done to him

nothing was done to him

mr o'donnell that should not have been

done dr willis is a fine surgeon

is it your judgment that dr willis

should have undertaken this surgery

dr willis had no choice you cannot

prosecute a surgeon for what she may

have been thinking before she operated

while she operated

my understanding from my own very

thorough investigation is

that she did absolutely everything she

possibly could

in spite of the circumstances involved

thank you

[Music]

i came to apologize for my tirade

not necessary doctor

well then good night dr greenway

don't let anyone shake your faith in

your abilities

you're a talented doctor

good night

does this mean it's all over mommy it

means there won't be another trial but

i'm gonna need your help carrie it's

more of that mortal support you're so

good at

okay inside it isn't over yet

that man in the parking lot

he hurt me and i have to tell you about

it

i have to admit it so i can get better

and then we can go home

carrie i love what i do

different from how i love you different

from how i loved your daddy

do you understand

maybe

it's the part of me

that was there when i was your age

before i met your daddy or had you it's

the part of me that

that makes me kate

you know how you feel when you draw a

beautiful picture or you work very hard

on your science project and you

finally finish it yeah

well that's the part of me that loves

being a doctor

i want to be proud of myself just the

way i'm so very proud of you

then we can't go home right

not until i finish my two years but then

we can go home

okay okay

i'm not saying you have to fire her let

her resign let her make up the reason

i can't do that i'm prepared to withdraw

my funds

not gonna have my name associated with

even a breath of scandal

the grand jury couldn't find one shred

of reputable evidence to support mrs

stuyvesant's claim

unfortunately public opinion does not

concur

walter you want the new hospital it's as

simple as that

[Music]

mr fernandez was admitted to the

hospital complaining of dizziness and

weakness to his right side

we ordered a ct scan suspecting a mild

stroke dr pollings would you take over

rounds for dr willis please

yes ma'am there's also the ct scan shown

in the large ventricle

spinal tap was done and some blood shot

dr mcmahon has asked for your

resignation

dr willis's letter of resignation that

was a political decision

exactly and here's mine what

hey carol

[Music]

we're all resigning

show some guts you old fool

[Music]

i got a phone call to make

get back to work all of you

[Music]

and that means you

back to work doctor more beautiful words

were never spoken

[Music]

you
