-You may not realize, but we're a thing.

[Devon] Where can I get
an amazing present for Priya?

I'll take that one.
This will definitely work.

You do whatever the hell I tell you,
no questions asked.

You came in here ready to save lives,
but today, you saved a brain stem

-'cause you didn't listen.
-[Marshall] You look well.

-Atlanta suits you.
-Why are you here, Dad?

I'm looking for worthwhile
investment opportunities.

Making you CEO
was the smartest thing we ever did.

I want to introduce you to
your new boss, Marshall Winthrop.

[Micah] Thank you for busting me
out of that hospital room.

[Mina] This is what you need. Fresh air.

[Micah] No, no, no, don't. I got it.

People will have to take care
of you for a while, Micah.

Relax and get used to it.

Yeah, the invalid thing? Not my style.

-You're ten days out of major surgery.
-Yeah. I get that.

But you know…

What's wrong?

No one talks about what's ahead for me.

Tell me the truth.

What's the average life expectancy
of someone after a heart transplant?

You're not average.

You're young and you're strong.

Micah, we almost lost you.

Let's just enjoy this moment.

Right here, right now.

Isn't life beautiful?

You are what's beautiful.

No, no, not the wedding.

We were having such a nice night.

Have you arranged for someone
to teach you Bhangra?

A Bollywood dance would be so much fun.

You can do it for me, can't you?

[chuckles] All right.

You have to make sure

Delicious.

-[bone cracks]

[boy 1 grunts]

-[groaning]
-[boy 2] Hey. You okay?

Help, I…

I-I can't breathe.

Someone call 911.

Teenage male, blunt abdominal trauma.

Pullman Yard, the meadow.

Roger that.

-[radio static]
-Medivac Midtown, we have a call.

[Midtown paramedic] Call received.
En route to Pullman Yard.

Medivac Midtown just got a call
to Pullman Yard.

Beat them to the scene.

[Airmed paramedic] Copy you.

Airmed Atlanta turning around
and heading to Pullman Yard.

Airmed Atlanta just launched.

-They're trying to poach, get there first.
-[paramedic] On my way.

-[boy gasping]
-You'll be fine.

Where the hell is the ambulance?

[Midtown paramedic] Ah, what the hell?

Look, there's two of them.

There's three of them.

-You're okay. Just hold on.
-[boy groaning]

[Midtown paramedic] Airmed Atlanta again?

What are you doing here? This is our call!

Pullman Yard is zone three.

-Airmed Atlanta has zone three.
-You poached off the police scanner.

-That's the third time…
-You took ours.

Okay, we got you, buddy.
You'll be in the ER in no time.

-What's your name?
-Jack.

Jack? All right,
where does it hurt? Right here?

Severe abdominal trauma.

Jack, I need you to keep still.
We're gonna put a collar on you.

Two weeks ago, Piedmont Park.

-Tell me that wasn't you.
-That was me,

because that patient needed help.

[Jack groaning]

[overlapping arguing continues]

Today I got here first!

-Southeast Air Ambulance One…
-Hey. Wait!

…we have patient inbound to Chastain Park.

[Devon] It's on, Mina.

-Oh, no, no, no.
-[both laugh]

-That's the best you got?
-You won.

-Serious question right now.
-Laugh while you can.

Very serious question,
is that all you got?

[both laugh]

Good job.

Dr. Pravesh.
Just the man we were looking for.

Time to grow up and be a role model.
First-year med students.

Aw.

Green as new mown grass.
They get to tour the hospital,

and guess who has the honor
of showing them the ropes?

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.
Please, I have, I have patients to see.

Take them with. Impart your wisdom.

-Be their Conrad.
-Conrad 2.0.

Uh, no. No. No.

Hi. Aaron Holt.

Hey.

-Justin.
-Okay, okay.

Hi. All right. Uh…

[clicks tongue] Yes, thank you.

[Conrad] You wanted to see me?

No.

He did.

In my opinion, it's wholly inappropriate
for a third-year resident

to attend a meeting
between the CEO and the chairman.

We're discussing recent
unfortunate events at Chastain.

Residents are on the frontline
of patient care.

I want my son's input.

Conrad, if you had a magic wand,

what would you do first
to improve the hospital?

Easy, weed out problematic staff.

Starting with a resident who breaks
the rules whenever he pleases?

Excellence comes from the top down.

[Marshall] What is your plan
to balance the budget, Dr. Bell?

Increase volume. Screen patients,
cut those at risk for nonpayment.

Every one of those ideas
threatens patient safety.

This is a business, it's not a charity.
No money, no mission.

Okay, you want to go there?
Yeah, let's go there.

-How much does he make?
-A million five.

A million five.
Why does Dr. Bell make a million five

when the average
hospital CEO salary is $600,000?

[sighs] I'm not average.

The CEO at Atlanta General
makes $3 million.

We both earn every penny.

You have no idea what this job entails.

All ten floors of this hospital
rest on my back.

There are 30 departments, 45 surgeons,
200 internists, ten CT scanners

that do not and will never
pay for themselves.

And while you are feeling the pain
and triumph of helping a relative few,

I will be thinking of ways
to raise or cut a dollar

so that I can keep you working,

nurses attending, janitors cleaning,
those machines humming,

so Chastain's patients keep breathing.

-Exhibit A.
-[helicopter whirring]

A medevac helicopter coming here,
and not Atlanta General.

Why? Because I pushed Chastain

to buy that air transport company
so it brings patients

to our top-of-the-line,
level one trauma center.

Perfect example of profits over patients.

Air ambulances used
to be run by the county.

Now they're for-profit.

You know how much we charge
for that ten-minute flight?

Forty grand.
You could fly around the world ten times…

-Insurance pays. It's not our problem.
-News flash.

Millions of people are uninsured.
That flight could equal bankruptcy.

Would they rather be dead?

That's the option, your money or life?

Gentlemen, enough.

I set up this meeting to find solutions.

Chastain needs revenue to make payroll.

It also needs to be
a beacon of excellence.

You both have a point.

You're gonna have
to learn to work together.

[laughs]

[Bell scoffs]

[typing]

[Hundley] How long have you been diabetic?

Since I was ten. Three years.

Because you're a minor,
we have to wait on your mom.

-Okay.
-Take a seat, and when she gets here,

-come back, okay?
-[elevator dings]

[elevator door opens]

Fourteen-year-old male, skating accident,
abdominal trauma, BP 80/40 and dropping.

-Pulse is 126.
-All right, Trauma Ten.

-Name?
-Jack Alderwood.

-Jack, where's the pain?
-[Jack] Everywhere.

-Jack! That's our son!
-All right, on a scale…

We're gonna take care of him,
I promise you. We just need some space.

The doctors are taking good care
of your son.

On a scale of one to ten,
ten being the most severe--

Ten. Can't breathe.

Use my credit card and insurance.

-Let's get you to registration, okay?
-Right now. One, two, three.

We need another large-bore IV.

Hang one liter normal saline,
get blood ready.

Trauma to the upper abdomen.

He's distended, diffuse pain.

Okay, hang in there, buddy.
You're doing great.

His FAST is positive.
Free fluid everywhere. He's bleeding out.

Hang two units O neg. Don't worry.
We're gonna take care of you.

He needs an OR.

-[Irving] Nolan?
-Surgery. Busy for three hours.

-[Conrad] Who's available from trauma?
-[Austin] I am.

-You're cardiothoracic.
-Well, actually,

I'm triple board certified,
cardiothoracic, general and trauma.

I'm also IFR licensed
on a twin engine plane,

and I can scuba dive up to 150 feet.

[sighs] Kill me now.

-[monitor beeping rapidly]
-[Jack groaning]

[Irving] He's out.

[Conrad] Let's get him to OR One.

Let's look in on your very first patient.
And don't be nervous.

There are no wrong answers.

Mr. Warden, these are medical students
rounding for the very first time.

I'd like them to listen to your heart.
Would that be all right with you?

-Sure. Have at it, Doc.
-All right.

[Devon] Heart sounds
are notoriously tricky,

but they are a key diagnostic tool.

So, what are you think--

I can hear a diastolic rumble
with an opening snap,

which is indicative of mitral stenosis
secondary to rheumatic heart disease.

Actually, I hear a crescendo
decrescendo systolic ejection

murmur radiating to the carotids,
with soft S2 and precordial thrill.

You know, I kind of just think
it sounds like Ken-tucky.

And sometimes, it kind of sounds like
Tennes-see, Tennes-see, Tennes-see.

What do you think?

Um…

I didn't really hear anything abnormal.

I thought I was in
for gallbladder surgery?

You are.
You have a perfectly normal heart.

Are you sure?
I distinctly heard a diastolic…

Thank you. Let's go.

[monitor beeping steadily]

It's, uh, pretty quiet up here.
Couldn't we go to the ER, OR?

See some trauma, you know, blood and gore?

[sighs] It's your first day.
Just do what I tell you to do,

-no questions asked.
-[Noni] Heads up.

There's a device rep
luring in doctors to hear her sales pitch.

Free Thai food.

-[Justin] Oh.
-[gasps]

[clicks tongue]

Come on in. Have some food.

-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

You're welcome.

Come on in, Doctor.
I'm Julian Booth, device rep for Quovadis.

Hi. Uh, Dr. Pravesh.

Devon.

I have some cool gear to show you.

Let's see what you might need.

You're not a surgeon.

How do you know?

It's my superpower.

I can guess a doctor's specialty
at a glance, even before they know it.

Take your medical students.

Born rad. Destined to spend his life

inside windowless rooms
with imaging machines.

-He does look like a submariner.
-Mm-hmm.

Okay, what about that one over there?

Peeds.

No way. My money's on derm.

No, I'm right.

-That is impressive.
-Good, right?

And your shy one
will probably cure cancer.

The one on the end here.

Annoying gunner, neurosurgeon?

No. He'll get his MD, skip residency
and head straight to Silicon Valley.

That's what all the gunners do.

They invent devices like these.

Artificial sphincter.

[laughs]

You laugh, but the urologist
who came up with this

hauled down $40 million.

You're kidding.

Medical devices are
even bigger than pharma.

Pacemakers, cardiac caths, cochlear
implants, artificial knees, skin, hips.

I was a dancer until one day
I was hit by a car.

It shattered my pelvis.

A total hip replacement
gave me my life back

and made me a true believer.

You're interested in ER, right?

[chuckles]

Okay, now you're batting a thousand.

You won't be just a doctor, though.
You're too smart for that.

All the best ones do more than one thing.

Maybe you'll invent one of these.

[chuckles]

-No. I'm good. Thank you.
-[laughs]

-You never know.
-[laughs]

$40 million.

Jack came through
the splenectomy with flying colors.

-Thank God.
-Oh.

I don't know what we would do
if we lost him.

He's the center of our world.
Jack is the brightest, kindest…

[sighs] This boy is the only thing
that pulled us through when…

Amber, Jack's sister,
passed two years ago from a brain tumor.

[monitor beeping steadily]

Am I okay?

-[gasps] Yes, darling.
-Hey, buddy.

You're gonna be fine.
Isn't he, Dr. Hawkins?

Yeah. Jack, we had to do
a procedure to remove your spleen.

Spleen filters blood,
helps your body fight infections,

so you'll need regular vaccines,
but you won't even know it's missing.

Hear that, Mom? It's okay.

[inhales sharply]

She worries.

Why don't you two get some food
while I do a post-op on Jack?

Okay, okay.

And thank you, Dr. Hawkins.

[Conrad sighs]

Looks like you have a touch of jaundice.

Is that serious?

Not necessarily.

Tell me about your weight.
Any changes lately?

You're a thin guy.

I just dropped ten pounds.

I wasn't even trying, but I like it.

How were you feeling before the accident?

I have been having some back pain,
but it's no big deal.

Probably pulled a muscle roller dancing.

Show me where it hurts.

[grunts softly]

[quietly] Ow.

-I'm sorry to hear about your sister.
-Ah.

Any other history of cancer in the family?

My grandfather died young.

I never knew him. Colon cancer, I think.

And Mom had breast cancer,
but she's okay now.

Have to run a few more tests
before I can let you go.

I'll go write up the orders.

Can I help you?

Hey, call security. We got a drug seeker.

Hey!

Hey!

Okay, every doctor needs to know
how to place an IV.

I want you to practice on each other.

Good work.

[scoffs] This is child's play.

Did it all summer
in my Dad's neurosurgery clinic.

Steady. Steady. Steady.

[inhales sharply, chuckles]

This is why you're going into radiology.

[Devon] Steady. Just watch.

-Feel it. Touch it.
-[Justin] Uh-huh.

[Devon] You feel that? That's the vein.
That's where you want to go.

-The pulsing thing.
-[Justin] Mm-hmm.

[grunts, laughs]

[Devon] Lower your hand.

Can I get a new partner?

He… He can't find the vein.

Maybe I can help.

Here. Try this.

It uses infrared to find the vein.

-Here.
-[Justin] Oh.

[Julian] See it?

[Justin] That?

Yeah.

-[scoffs]
-[Justin] Got it.

[syringe pops]

[gasps] I did it.

This device rocks.

-[grunts] Whoa!
-Oh!

You have to remove the tourniquet first
before you withdraw the needle.

-Apply pressure to slow the bleed.
-[man groaning]

-[Devon] All right.
-[sighs in relief]

-There you go.
-[exhales]

Everything is gonna be perfectly fine now.

[groaning]

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa.

-You all right? Okay.
-Mm-hmm.

Amazing catch, Conrad.

Don't tell me I guessed right.

You ordered a CT
with a pancreas protocol on a 14-year-old.

How in the world did you know?

Uh, the family history was a red flag.

It was a long shot, but I had to check.

Jack has pancreatic cancer.

[Mary] I know you may not
feel lucky right now, but you are.

The accident brought you
into the hospital,

and Dr. Hawkins caught it early.

Am I gonna die?

There is every reason to believe
that surgery will be a total cure.

If we get him to Houston tonight,
will MD Anderson have a room for him?

Okay, please let me know
as soon as possible.

-Thank you.
-[beeps]

[Bell] Mr. Alderwood.

Randolph Bell, Chief of Surgery,
CEO here at Chastain.

I'm so sorry to hear
about your son's diagnosis.

Know that Chastain's
cancer wing is state of the art…

No, no. MD Anderson
is a top five cancer center.

Only the best for Jack.
We need to get him there soon.

I understand.

You know, we do have a connection
to a helicopter company

that can handle the transfer
to the airport.

They're not cheap.
Check with your insurance.

Money is no object.

Well, I'm glad we could help.

The next step is to stage the cancer,
check for metastasis,

make sure Jack's lymph nodes are clear.

Okay?

Thank you.

[sighs] Baby…

You're gonna be okay, okay?

-[Nic sighs]
-What's up?

There's a girl running around
the hospital. About 12 or 13.

I caught her stealing from the drug cart.
She's in withdrawal, blonde, pale.

-I'll check Five East.
-Thanks.

Hey.

Check me out.

I got it, I got it.

No, Micah, don't!

[grunting]

No, I'm fine. I just twisted it
a little bit. That's all.

There's someone in here! Mina!

-Hurry!
-[Micah] Go.

Go. I'm fine.

I see legs.

Okay. Careful, careful.

[gasps] Oh, my gosh.

She's alive. Clear her from the door.

-Call a rapid response team.
-Yeah.

Nic! She's in here. She's diabetic.

Oh, my God. She was looking for insulin.

-Is she in DKA?
-Probably.

She tried injecting herself,
but she was too late.

Get her out, find a vein.
If we don't get access, she's gonna code.

-Hey. Just got the call. What do you need?
-[Nic] She's dry.

-Want me to do a central line?
-Not here. Not sterile.

Let's get a room.

I discharged 5027 earlier.
Should be clean now.

Go to the crash cart.
Get me a central line kit.

Ask a nurse to help you. Go.

-Okay. One, two, three.
-Three.

No. Here, here. Just take that.

Got it.

-But he said get a nurse.
-I got it.

[monitor beeping rapidly]

Pulse is tachy at 130.

Here.

This is a Foley catheter kit for urine.
I told you to ask a nurse.

[Nic] No kit, no choice.
We have to do an EJ.

Gonna crank the bed down
so she's headfirst.

Prepping for an IO
in case you can't get access.

[Nic] Prepping for an EJ.

Swab, please.

We're in.

All right, let's hang fluids.
Two liters to start.

-Wait. Let me get the blood first.
-[Nic] Okay.

-[beeps]
-[Nic] Glucose, 583. Bicarb, undetectable.

PH, 6.8. She's DKA.

A little longer in a coma,
she would have died.

Let's get her to the ICU. She still might.

You're Dr. AJ Austin.
I'd recognize you anywhere.

I'm sure you have a job to do,

but salespeople should not be
roaming the halls of Chastain.

The AJ Austin who did
an ascending aortic reconstruction

with a coronary artery reimplantation
in two hours, skin to skin.

I might be that guy.

Okay, I am that guy,
but I'm still not buying.

No agenda, I swear. I'm just a fangirl.

Dr. Benedict at Atlanta General
told me all about you.

Said you were the best student
he ever had.

You know Abe?

Quovadis has a fantastic,

new left atrial
appendage occlusion device.

Dr. Benedict has been
putting it in for the past year.

I can show it to you if you're interested.

All right. You got about five minutes.

-Lead the way.
-Great.

[intercom beeps]

[secretary] I have your lawyer,
Mr. McCrary, line two.

This is a private call,
no need to take notes.

[call ends]

Yeah?

Turns out your hooker cop was wired.

We aren't gonna get a not guilty verdict.

The arraignment's first thing
in the morning. We'll try to plea bargain.

Look reasonable and contrite.

Judges want to see a defendant
who knows he's made a mistake

and won't make another.

-[knock at door]
-[door opens]

[Mina] Micah?

-Are you okay? I…
-[door closes]

I'm sorry I had to leave you like that.

I'm fine.

I don't want to be a distraction.
You're a doctor.

You have important things to do.

You are important.

This isn't working.

I see what's going on.

So do you.

We may be a thing,
but we're a brand-new thing.

This is not what you signed up for.

I can't be a burden.

[woman over PA]
Dr. Okafor, please report to OR One.

Dr. Okafor, please report to OR One.

I must go now.

But I am not agreeing with you.

No big decisions
until we make one together.

Conrad. Jack's lymph nodes look clear.

The cancer is most likely
localized to the pancreas.

-Okay, that's good news.
-But the trauma.

The accident, it looks like
it started a bleed on the tumor itself.

Right here. It was too small
to pick up before, but there it is.

Stop!

He can't fly.

The helicopter's waiting.

His tumor is bleeding into his abdomen.

He needs to have the surgery now.

You put him on that helicopter,
he dies before he gets to Houston.

[sighs]

-[Nolan] Patient's name is Jack Alderwood.
-[Jessica] Confirmed.

[Nolan]
Procedure is partial pancreatectomy.

Surgeon, Dr. Albert Nolan.

-Consent form signed?
-Signed and in the chart.

[Nolan] All right.

Partial pancreatectomy.
Isn't that right up your alley?

[Bell] I've done over 500
of these in my career.

More than anyone else in Atlanta.
Maybe more than anyone in the country.

Yeah, well, CEO is an important job, too.

At least, I think it is.

It is.

I still miss the OR.

Just keep me updated on how this goes.

I'm here if they need me.

Yeah, you got it, boss.

Where are your med students?

I sent them home. I'm done babysitting.

Thank you, Carol.

That's too bad, Conrad. Oops.

-I mean, Devon.
-I'm not Conrad.

And they're sure not me.

That gunner nearly killed Abby.

Didn't your first patient
end up brain-dead?

The kid who screwed up is still here.

He's in the ICU
watching them work on Abby.

Thought you should know.

[Nic] Hang in there, sweetie.

-[nurse] O2 sats dropping.
-[monitor beeping rapidly]

-She's in respiratory failure.
-[doctor] Uh, we need to intubate.

Get the kit.

They're putting her on a vent.
She may never recover.

We all make mistakes.

I've made plenty.

What matters is you learn from them.

[monitor beeping steadily]

Poor thing. We got her name, Abby Arlen,
but we can't find her parents.

-I'll go find them.
-Good. Go.

[monitor beeping steadily]

[Nolan] Okay.

Pancreas is fully exposed.

Prepare a specimen cup for tissue sample.

They're doing a resection
of the pancreas, which is a bitch.

The organ is like Jell-O.

Soft, warm Jell-O.

You cut it wrong,
the whole thing falls apart.

You got to cut out that tumor,
leave yourself margins,

keep the tumor cold when you walk it…
speed walk it, double-time, to pathology…

where the pathologist runs a stain,

puts the specimen under a microscope,

and looks for those nasty
little cancerous mites.

But you got to do it fast,
time is of the essence.

Our boy is still on the table.

[telephone ringing]

Uh, margin's not clear.
Pathologist says to keep going.

They didn't get all the cancer. They have
to take another slice of the pancreas,

and start the whole process
all over again.

[telephone ringing]

Margin is still not clear.

[receiver clatters]

[telephone ringing]

Margin's still not clear.

[telephone ringing]

[telephone ringing]

Margin's still not clear.

What's going on?

-There's hardly any pancreas left.
-They'll have to remove the entire organ.

[Austin] Worse. They have to resect parts
of the gallbladder,

the small intestine and the bile duct.
It's a Whipple procedure.

Even I've only done
a handful of Whipples in my life.

Dr. Nolan cannot handle this.

You know who has to do this, right?

[Bell] Oh, the prince walks
into my office without even knocking.

Let's not make this harder.

I'll make it hard every time we meet.
I don't care who your father is.

We have an emergency in OR One.
The Alderwood boy.

Pancreatic margins
keep coming back cancerous.

He needs a Whipple procedure.

Back in the day,

you were the unsurpassed master
of the Whipple,

but we both know
an appendectomy patient died in your OR.

Your complication rates
are through the roof.

Can you do this procedure safely?

I can do it flawlessly,
and it's not your call.

Right angle, Cooley scissors to me.

Team HODAD.

The surgery was more radical
than we'd hoped,

but it went off beautifully.

Thank you, Dr. Bell.
And thank you, too, Dr. Hawkins.

[Conrad] Ah. The most important thing
is that Jack is likely cancer-free.

And I'll roller dance again, right?

Absolutely.

Jack, unfortunately,
due to the nature of your surgery,

you will be a diabetic
for the rest of your life, but--

Maybe not the rest of your life.

Scientists are working on
growing organs in the lab.

-Someday, we may get you a new pancreas.
-Okay, and who are you?

Ms. Booth works for Quovadis Labs,
a cutting-edge medical device company.

I'd like to show you our new insulin pump.

The drug is delivered
continuously over 24 hours,

and keeps
your blood glucose levels in range,

even overnight.

How much is it?

[Julian] Around ten grand.

We'll take it.

Great. [chuckles]

[monitor beeping steadily]

Is that our new uninsured patient?

I hear she could end up
costing Chastain a fortune.

That's one way to look at it.

Or you could see a 13-year-old girl,
who's fighting for her life.

Her name is Abby.

According to her mom,
she loves astronomy and Beyoncé.

She's a straight A student,

and got diabetes when she was ten.

Her mom works two jobs
but still can't afford the medicine.

It's over $2,000 a month.

So Abby

didn't want her mom to know that
she needed more insulin.

Started rationing her doses
and ended up here.

She gonna make it?

Maybe.

Is there any way
this could have been prevented?

Technically, the hospital's a non-profit.

To keep our tax-exempt status,

we're to have programs
that benefit the community.

-What are we doing now?
-Nothing.

Not true.
We have health fairs, flu clinics.

-All kinds of…
-Window dressing.

[Conrad] The price of insulin
has gone from $21 a vial to $275,

and the drug hasn't changed one bit.

That's a 1,200% increase,
and it's destroying people's lives.

Mina and I have an idea.

Let's hear it.

What about an outpatient clinic for
the uninsured, with community outreach?

I used to volunteer for one
run by Partners in Health.

We'd love to start something like that.
It could've helped Abby,

we missed that.
We can't miss chances like that again.

With what funding?

How much would this cost,
and how much would it save?

I need to see data before
making a commitment.

-Is that a polite way of saying no?
-I told you we need balance.

Patient safety and financial stability.

So get us numbers,
we'll have a look at it,

maybe bring it up
at the next board meeting.

Okay.

I can't say that was a win.

It wasn't a no, either.
Your father left us an opening.

I'll put together the numbers.

Okay. Hey.

[Conrad sighs]

Hey.

Maybe it's a good thing that he's here.

Maybe things will be different.

-I'm still giving you an out.
-And I'm not taking it.

You'll go to rehab, and you'll get better.

No big decision until then.

You sure you want to wait?

[both chuckle]

[engine starts]

You told me the judge
would show mercy for a first offense.

Luck of the draw. We caught a hard-ass.

And this will be reported
to the state medical board?

Not exactly.

By law, you now have to self-report
your conviction for solicitation.

Here are the forms.

You're the one who must report
this to the state medical board.

You mean, if I don't file the forms,
they'll never know I was arrested?

The only way anyone would find out
is if they went to the police department

and requested a copy
of your criminal record.

Who is ever gonna think of that?

I'm a doctor.
