00:01Okay, we understand that.
00:03It's okay. It's okay.
00:04Hey there, pretty lady.
00:05Look, I know everybody's real busy, but would you all mind take a look at my fiancée?
00:08We've been here for a long time. She's in a lot of pain.
00:10We'll take a look.
00:12Hi, I'm Nick. I'm a nurse practitioner here.
00:15It says you're 23 years old. Is that true?
00:17Mm-hmm.
00:17And you're experiencing some stomach pain. When did that start?
00:21Just today. Wasn't too bad before.
00:23On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate your pain?
00:25It's pretty bad. I'd say 10.
00:27I'm gonna need a vet to answer.
00:31It really hurts. I don't know, maybe a ton.
00:35Do you have any other symptoms?
00:37A little bleeding down there.
00:39You didn't tell me that.
00:40All right, I'm gonna have to do a pelvic exam. Do you mind stepping up?
00:43Oh, uh, I'll stay.
00:46I'd like him to stay.
00:47There you go.
00:49Are you okay?
00:49See the couple in Bay 4?
00:51She has pelvic inflammatory disease from gonorrhea.
00:53Says she's 23, but I'm not even sure she's 18.
00:55And he hovers. Doesn't leave her side for a second.
00:58Says they're from out of town, but she's already been in our ER for an STD a few months ago.
01:02You think she's being trafficked?
01:03I need your help getting her alone so that I can find out if she's safe.
01:07Okay.
01:08What? Marcus, this is Dr. Hawkins. I brought him in to consult.
01:11He also agrees that a round of antibiotics should clear your symptoms.
01:14Right. So I'm out of the pharmacy on the way out. Call me a prescription?
01:16Nick did, but before you go, I need to give you an exam.
01:18Can't you just write me a prescription, too?
01:19Nah, not without an examination.
01:21Nick, why don't you take her to the pharmacy while I give Marcus an exam?
01:23No, no, no. You ain't treating me, okay?
01:25You're treating her, and we're taking off. Let's go.
01:27No, but before you do any of that, there's something else I wanted to take a look at.
01:31Do you mind if Dr. Hawkins listens to your heart?
01:33I heard a little abnormality when I was listening to it earlier.
01:36No, just stay safe.
01:38Yeah, I hear her, too. She can have endocarditis. It's a life-threatening condition as a result of her STD.
01:43And can cause sudden death. Bacteria travels through the bloodstream and enters into your heart.
01:47We absolutely have to do a cardiac ultrasound.
01:49No. Doctors make up stuff all the time to get more tests.
01:52Come on, Yvette. Let's go.
01:53Endocarditis is very real, I promise you.
01:55We can do the echo right now. If it's negative, you go on your way.
01:58I just know you want to be safe.
02:00I'll do it.
02:02I don't want to die.
02:03Okay.
