00:00How's it going?
00:02Transporting our new donor down to nuclear medicine to get a blood flow study.
00:06What, already?
00:07I ticked off all the boxes like we discussed. No gag reflex, no corneal reflex.
00:12The guy is brain dead. Warm and brain dead.
00:15The sooner we make the call, the sooner we can harvest his organs.
00:19Now, we wait a minimum 24 hours before we go down the brain death pathway.
00:23That's protocol. No exceptions.
00:25You said every hour counts with Carson.
00:30Transplant needs to happen now.
00:32We have an obligation to this man as a patient, not as a donor.
00:36We don't even know if he's a match yet.
00:44Tell me you don't already know he's a match, Sola.
00:49Hey, I don't think this guy is dead.
00:52The scan showed nothing life-threatening.
00:55The knife caused only minimal injury to your maxillary sinus.
00:59In a little bit, we're going to have a speech therapist come see you
01:02and do a complete cognitive eval.
01:05But all in all, Mr. Pruitt, considering what you've been through,
01:11I'd say you're a very lucky man.
01:14As soon as you feel up to it, I've got some questions to ask you about the assault.
01:17Yeah, sure. And as soon as you feel up to it, I've got some questions to ask you about the assault.
01:20Yeah, sure. And as soon as you feel up to it, I've got some questions to ask you about the assault.
01:21Yeah, sure. In a second.
01:22Kimmy, where the hell are you?
01:23Coming, baby.
01:25Hey, if he asks, I didn't sign nothing.
01:32Okay, there's a version of this where I commend you for overseeing the miraculous return from the dead,
01:38but that's not how this is gonna go.
01:41Yeah. So what the hell happened?
01:43From what I could tell, looking at the course of care, the bladder thermometer was used
01:50throughout to measure the patient's core temperature, right?
01:52Uh-huh.
01:53So do you understand why that might present a problem, Dr. Ahmad?
01:58A warming pad and bladder irrigation might have raised the local temperature around the
02:03thermometer.
02:04So that when the thermometer is reading 36 degrees Celsius, the actual core temp was
02:09probably lower.
02:10And that the patient was not completely warm.
02:15No, sir.
02:16And that's exactly why our hypothermic protocol calls for using an esophageal probe.
02:22Imagine the liability this hospital would be exposed to if we declared this man dead
02:27and taken his organs.
02:29We were far away from London.
02:30Oh, just go home.
02:31Go home, Zola.
02:32Go home.
02:41And you, you, you're supposed to be a supervisor.
02:45That never should have happened.
