00:00We got a liver for Chuck.
00:01Where?
00:02SF Municipal Hospital.
00:03In how long do we have body-to-body on a liver transplant?
00:05Eight hours.
00:06You don't know the longevity of a liver?
00:08This is a teaching hospital, and I'm the teacher.
00:10You and Murphy, you're on organ pickup.
00:12We got eight hours on this thing, and the clock starts ticking now.
00:14What are you doing?
00:16What are you thinking?

00:29How long does St. Bonaventure?
00:31Less than 30 minutes.
00:32Can't wait.
00:33We have to immediately remove the clot and flush the left lobe to protect it from the ice bath.
00:37Okay, we need to stop the car.
00:38Here?
00:38Yes, yes.
00:39We need to operate right here, right now.
00:48UW Solution will stabilize the cell walls.
00:51Preserve the integrity of the organ.
00:56This is better than having a baby in my car.
