Short filmTranscript
00:00The last eight years.
00:01You almost got Jake and TJ killed because of the things you didn't remember.
00:05Your muscle was badly torn up by the bullet.
00:06You're lucky we could save the leg.
00:08Does the board know what you just did?
00:09You put our accreditation at risk.
00:11Take your paternity leave now.
00:13When you look at him, all you see is the man who you think let your son die.
00:17You have no choice.
00:18You have to leave him.
00:19Would you maybe consider being chief of internal medicine at the best hospital in Minneapolis?
00:28So where are you headed?
00:30Pardon?
00:31I saw you put in the international terminal.
00:32You flying somewhere fun?
00:34Mexico City.
00:35Oh, nice.
00:36Business or pleasure?
00:37Good to both.
00:38I'm a chef.
00:39No better food scene.
00:40Ain't that the truth.
00:41Good dancing, too.
00:43My wife and I went there for our 30th.
00:45You imagine me in a salsa lesson?
00:47Yeah, me neither.
00:48But happy wife is a happy life.
00:51And you get enough to kill on me, suddenly I'm spread a set.
00:54I have a recommendation for you.
00:56You okay?
00:57I'm fine.
00:58Just drive, please.
00:59You sure you're okay?
01:04I think I need a hospital.
01:07I think I need a hospital.
01:07I'm fine.
01:08I think I need a hospital.
01:12I'm sorry, it should have been the first thing I said when I got here this morning, but I know how you used to feel about her.
01:42And I wanted to see if the TMS would shake something loose. Give me some context.
01:45The context is she preferred the version of you that didn't have a life beyond medicine.
01:49So I told you about this back then?
01:51Nope, but I know how she thinks.
01:54You really don't trust her, do you?
01:56Never did. Never will. But I know she's done some good things for you.
02:01She championed me.
02:02I never thought you needed that.
02:04Right.
02:07Same time tomorrow?
02:09Depends. Still no side effects?
02:10Depends. A little headache. Nothing worries him.
02:23I had some memories.
02:29Maybe I can remember me and us.
02:33I know I can't ask you to wait.
02:46Are you meditating or short-circuiting?
02:49Nah, I just, I didn't get much sleep last night.
02:51Buck up, soldier. First day of basic training.
02:53Yeah.
02:55Let me get this straight. You've had four days to run blood work and nothing to show for it?
02:59Who are you, Elizabeth Holmes?
03:01What?
03:03Yesterday would be better, but sure, end of day.
03:06Everything okay?
03:07Oh, I'd just like to bust a few balls the first day, let people know where they stand.
03:10Okay, well, don't let me skip the line.
03:13That's not why you're here.
03:15I need a favor.
03:16With Dr. Coleman out a few more weeks, we could use a new intern.
03:19You're going to interview them and select the best candidate.
03:23Wait, so you're giving me hiring privileges?
03:24Dr. Larson and Dr. Miller didn't let their chief resident make decisions?
03:28Ah, no. No. Not if they could help it.
03:30Well, I believe in empowering people.
03:31They're all qualified to figure out which one has a soul.
03:34Hi.
03:39Dr. Heller.
03:41Congratulations.
03:44So that's going well, huh?
03:46You knew about us?
03:48Oh, you told me last year.
03:51Oh.
03:51Per the HR briefing I received yesterday, it started up again post-accident?
03:56It did.
03:57We're in a holding pattern now.
03:58Well, the sequel's never as good.
04:00And how is it with the TMS treatments?
04:03Any more memories?
04:04Just a few.
04:05Nothing really of substance.
04:09Oh.
04:10Well, keep me posted on that.
04:12So what do you think?
04:13The decor is a work in progress, but it beats mosquito nets in Kenya.
04:17Yeah.
04:18I see you added some not-so-local flavor.
04:20Oh.
04:21Well, um, don't get too comfortable.
04:23Because that's my seat.
04:25You're keeping warm.
04:26I'm relieved the accident didn't curb your ambition.
04:28Can you tell me how long this is going to take?
04:34I'm supposed to be on a plane.
04:37Oh.
04:38Well, uh, your tests and labs indicate drug-induced hepatitis, which is why you were vomiting blood.
04:45We'll treat you with steroids, but I'm going to need to see your ALT and ASDs come down before I can discharge you.
04:51Okay. So, like, a few hours?
04:54Could be.
04:55First of all, I want to figure out what medication caused this.
04:58So you are taking cladribine, baclofen, and interferon beta for your MS?
05:03I don't take those anymore.
05:05Too many side effects.
05:06I prefer to manage my day-to-day symptoms with traditional remedies, like, uh, ginkgo for fatigue, kava for anxiety, some goldenseal and tryptophan.
05:15Yeah.
05:16Low-dose herbals usually don't cause us.
05:20Are you sure there isn't something else that you've been taking?
05:23Okay.
05:24So, I've been getting experimental stem cell injections in Mexico.
05:32I think you buried the lead.
05:34I know. It's just...
05:35That can't be what's causing this.
05:37I've been on the protocol for six months.
05:39I've never thrown up blood.
05:40Well, sometimes the reaction time can lag.
05:43No!
05:43It takes...
05:44Okay?
05:46These injections aren't hurting me.
05:48They've saved my life.
05:49Dr. Walker, can you consult on a patient with MS?
05:54Apparently she found a drug trial in Mexico through an ad on social media.
05:58Let me see your scans.
06:02This medical tourism thing is...
06:03You evolved quite a bit in the eight years you don't remember.
06:06You weren't a fan.
06:07Yeah, it's everywhere.
06:07I mean, I can't scroll my feed without seeing a discount code for IVF in the Czech Republic.
06:11We're a plane full of men with Turkish hair transplants.
06:14My sister-in-law got her mommy makeover in Sao Paulo, boob job, lipo, and tummy tuck for four Gs.
06:19What? That sounds too good to be true.
06:21Yeah, double Ds for four Gs.
06:23I'm texting my ex.
06:25Peter, you're a pig.
06:26What?
06:26Okay, I know I should be skeptical, but her scans look great, right?
06:30Plaques are regressing, and there's much less active disease than a year ago.
06:33I mean, you're telling me that this is putting her MS into long-term remission.
06:37Looks that way.
06:41Going home today, right?
06:42PT says you're hitting all your milestones.
06:46Yeah, maybe they'll let me graduate to the 10-pound weights.
06:49Well, not with that attitude.
06:51Sorry, it's just when Dr. Agassi said it'd be a long recovery, I don't think I realized just how slow it would feel.
06:59No, I don't need help.
07:01I need this hunk of garbage to do its freaking job.
07:04See, this guy gets it.
07:08Well, his name is Kevin Cross.
07:09He lost his leg in Afghanistan 12 years ago.
07:11Maybe you should talk to him.
07:14Why?
07:15Because they're both part of the Sad Soldiers Club?
07:17I hate to break it to you, but he got shot in a hospital.
07:20As far as I can tell, just a sad doctor.
07:23Look, I can't even help myself right now.
07:25How am I supposed to help that guy?
07:27We're treating her hepatitis, but our ALTs and ASTs are still sky high.
07:40I'm trying to figure out what drug caused this.
07:43What can you tell me about the treatment you're doing in Mexico?
07:45They're mesenchymal stem cells, but we administer intrathecally, so systemic absorption is unlikely.
07:50What about pre-treatment meds?
07:53A statin, amoxicillin clavulinate, ibuprofen, all standard doses.
07:57Unless they weren't.
07:58She's taking several supplements, which could disrupt her ability to metabolize the drugs.
08:03Well, there's a problem.
08:05When do you think she can fly?
08:06I'd say end of the week.
08:08That's not going to work.
08:09Claire's due for an injection today.
08:11If she doesn't receive it in 24 hours, I have to discontinue her from the study.
08:15But if she doesn't get this treatment, her disease will come roaring back.
08:18The trial adheres to strict protocols.
08:21If I violate that, I lose my funding.
08:24I'm sorry.
08:24I wish I could make an exception, but my hands are tied.
08:29Okay.
08:37Dr. Wilson, been a while.
08:39Wow, looks like an open casting call out there.
08:43Yeah.
08:43Um, well, I gotta admit, I was surprised to see you here.
08:47If memory serves, last time we spoke, you said you were too triggered to work here?
08:50Oh, for what it's worth, I don't think it was the environment I found challenging so much as the, uh, leadership.
08:59But this new chief has a great reputation and an impressive list of publications, too.
09:03Glad you approve.
09:04No, no, it's just, I don't think anyone would dispute that Dr. Larson could be difficult.
09:08Well, due to her injuries, she's back to being an intern again, so that means you would be rounding with her as a colleague.
09:17Do you think that'd be a problem for you?
09:19Dr. Larson, an intern again.
09:21Have you ever heard of the term schadenfreude?
09:22Dr. Wilson?
09:23Because I'm not really sure that's a look we want here.
09:26But it was good to see you again.
09:27And I'll be sure to send Dr. Larson your regards.
09:29Hey, everything okay?
09:36Hi, why are we whispering?
09:37I don't want to wake my new boss.
09:39Oh, my gosh, you're on paternity leave already.
09:42Yeah, I, I, uh, I was gonna wait a few weeks, but then decided to just strike while the iron was hot.
09:49I'm sorry to bother you.
09:50It's okay, don't be.
09:51What, what's going on?
09:53I need a chartered med flight to Mexico City.
09:57And I thought diapers were expensive.
09:58What did Joan say?
10:00Oh, um, I haven't asked her yet.
10:02I figured with something this big, I should go right to the top.
10:05Joan holds the purse strings now.
10:06Let me patch her in.
10:07Yeah, of course.
10:12My turn.
10:16Oh, okay.
10:19Okay, we're all on.
10:20Will you be paying with cash or card for this med flight?
10:23I get that this is an aggressive ask,
10:26but the patient is a 37-year-old female
10:28with relapsing remitting MS,
10:30and this is...
10:31Do you want to send Claire Pinto on a four-hour flight with active hepatitis?
10:35We fixed her diathesis issues,
10:37and she is a participant
10:38in an experimental stem cell therapy.
10:41Do you want to fly her to Mexico for experimental treatments?
10:44I get that it's unusual,
10:46but this doctor is the real deal.
10:47Trained at Hopkins,
10:48awarded an R01 from the NIH,
10:50but moved his trials to Mexico.
10:52You're talking about Rodriguez.
10:54Oh, you know him?
10:55Oh, brilliant mind.
10:56Unconventional in the best ways.
10:58But his treatments flaunt the FDA,
11:00and we put the whole hospital at risk
11:01after the UNOS run-in.
11:03She's right.
11:03And if anything goes wrong in flight,
11:05we're liable.
11:05But these treatments are literally saving her.
11:08That's a hard no.
11:10Well, I suggest you find a trial this side of the border.
11:14Look, uh, I-I gotta go.
11:16I'm sorry it's not what you wanted to hear,
11:18but you have your decision.
11:21Okay.
11:32I've been on the job three hours,
11:34and you're already going over my head?
11:36Old habits die hard, I guess.
11:37Look, I'm sure you feel
11:39like you have a lot to prove,
11:42so you want to go the extra mile
11:43for your patients,
11:44but people get sick.
11:47And we can't always offer them the moon.
11:50Show Miss Pinto how to make peace
11:52with her disease
11:54and with the limits of modern medicine.
11:57Sometimes that's all we can do.
11:59She's your biggest fan.
12:14Yeah, I'm still here.
12:18He is my chief resident.
12:21I can't just make a move,
12:22no matter how I feel about him.
12:23Hey, you making a run for it?
12:32Just headed back to my room after PT.
12:34Alone?
12:35Here, let me help you.
12:35I-I got it, Julie.
12:36Thanks.
12:37Can I help you?
12:46TJ Coleman, 75th Ranger Regiment.
12:50I hear you serve, too.
12:51Is this the part where we do
12:52the secret handshake?
12:53No, brother, I just came in here
12:54and just-
12:55Oh, oh, you saw my meltdown in PT,
12:57and you thought I needed a pep doc.
12:59You call it a meltdown,
13:00I just call it a Tuesday.
13:02Well, it sounds like you've been here a while.
13:04I work here.
13:05I mean, when I don't look like this,
13:06I'm a doctor.
13:07What happened to your leg?
13:08Guy came into the hospital with a gun,
13:10I tried to disarm him, and...
13:12Why is that funny?
13:15Ranger, doctor, action figure,
13:17and you've been in that chair for, what, a week?
13:20So you thought you'd wheel your bored ass down here
13:23and find someone to fix to take the edge off?
13:25I didn't mean to offend you.
13:26No, no, no, no, you just got a hero complex.
13:29He figured you'd work it out on me.
13:30No, that's not what I was trying to do.
13:31You want to help me?
13:32Track down Dr. Brand, okay?
13:34I've been waiting here for three hours
13:36for a routine checkup.
13:37Actually, you know what, better yet,
13:38you tell him the prosthetic
13:39that he said would change my life
13:41has been nothing but trouble
13:42since the day I got it.
13:43It shouldn't be that way.
13:44With the right equipment,
13:46people will barely notice.
13:47That's what he said.
13:48Turns out it's the only thing people notice.
13:50I can't even get groceries
13:51without someone thanking me for my service.
13:56How long does it look like that?
13:58Man, you can't take a hint, can you?
14:00You know what, if you're not going to leave,
14:02then I will.
14:03No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
14:05Ah!
14:06Ah!
14:07Hey, I need a hand in here.
14:09What the hell are you doing?
14:11This man has an AV fistula
14:12that should have been dealt with long ago.
14:13I need hydro gel dressing,
14:15gauze, and an elastic bandage.
14:17Don't worry, brother,
14:17we're going to give you some real help, okay?
14:20This isn't happening.
14:21Um, just get me whatever you need me to sign,
14:23but I'm leaving and getting on that plane.
14:26The last time you went to the airport,
14:27you threw up blood.
14:29If that happens when you're up in the air,
14:31there'll be no way to stop the bleeding.
14:32Well, that's a chance I'll take.
14:34I understand that you think
14:36that this treatment is your only shot,
14:38but Dr. Walker has found
14:39two new possible therapies.
14:41They've received FDA approval for trials
14:43as early as next year.
14:44And in the meantime, I, I what?
14:47I, I just go back to the way things were.
14:49A year ago, I couldn't feed myself,
14:51much less anyone else.
14:53I, I lost my restaurant, my livelihood.
14:56I'm sorry, Claire,
14:56but you're in no condition to leave this hospital.
14:59And if you refuse to stay put,
15:00I have no choice than to place you
15:02on a 72-hour psychiatric hold.
15:03Can she do that?
15:04Uh, she can.
15:06And she will.
15:08Wow.
15:09So much for my body, my choice, right?
15:11You know, if I had terminal cancer,
15:14the FDA would approve an experimental treatment
15:16in a heartbeat.
15:17But because I have a degenerative disease
15:19that won't kill me tomorrow,
15:20I'm not allowed to fight for the life that I want.
15:22No one is saying you can't fight for it.
15:23These other trials might be...
15:24I don't want another trial.
15:26I want the one that's working now.
15:29We're trying to mitigate your risk.
15:30No, no.
15:31What you're doing is paternalistic and wrong.
15:34And I think that you both know that.
15:39Just go, please.
15:41Get out.
15:41The heart has beta-1 receptors.
16:02The lungs have beta-2.
16:03So, a cardio-selective approach lets us treat the heart
16:08without compromising pulmonary function.
16:11Ah, Dr. Coleman, I was looking for you earlier.
16:13I hear you have been busy catching birth to those mistakes.
16:17I like the hustle.
16:19I do what I can.
16:20And how's the recovery?
16:22Going home today, Ashley.
16:23Just making sure they're holding down the fort up here.
16:25Well, I assure you, the department's in good hands.
16:27In fact, I'm bringing on a new intern
16:29to lighten the load while you're recovering.
16:31So, take all the time you need.
16:33We want you at full strength.
16:41Hey.
16:42So, what do we think of her?
16:46Too early to tell.
16:47You got time for a consult?
16:50Hi, Kevin.
16:50I'm Dr. Matra.
16:52It's a pleasure to meet you,
16:53and thank you for your service.
16:54Mind if I take a look at that leg?
16:58Yeah, your call.
17:00The last guy I tried got covered in blood.
17:05Does that hurt?
17:06No.
17:07Nothing compared to my prosthesis.
17:09That thing rubs like hell.
17:11Increased echogenicity in the lateral quadrant
17:13and loss of normal architecture.
17:21Thickening medially as well.
17:23Is that as bad as it sounds?
17:25You ruptured an abnormal blood vessel,
17:28which is unfortunately a complication from an infection.
17:31So, I need more antibiotics.
17:34Unfortunately, it's too advanced for that.
17:36Most likely, you'll need a stump revision.
17:42You mean...
17:44you're gonna take more of my leg?
17:48Above the knee?
17:50Sorry, ma'am.
17:51I mean, honestly, you know, after winning the Weiss Award,
17:59I'm currently fielding multiple offers,
18:01like Yale, Hopkins.
18:03So, maybe you could tell me
18:04what you think Westside has to offer me.
18:09You know what?
18:09We're actually running short on time.
18:11Sorry about that, but why don't we do this?
18:12How about if you have any questions about the program,
18:14you just shoot me an email?
18:15I don't know.
18:16Uh...
18:23I'm just gonna need a minute.
18:24Okay.
18:36Uh...
18:36Broxen, you feeling okay?
18:39Oh, I'm fine.
18:40Just, uh...
18:41tough day.
18:46Uh...
18:46What...
18:46What was that look for?
18:49Nothing.
18:50Okay, come on. You clearly want me to ask.
18:54She told me that I don't belong here.
18:56That this whole thing I'm doing is misguided and narcissistic.
19:01What? Sonia, why would she say that?
19:02You know, she's never liked me.
19:04And apparently she has a thing for you.
19:09Okay, you might want to just go easy on the medication.
19:11I had another memory where I heard her talking about it.
19:16I guess I never told you?
19:18Uh, no. No, and I kind of wish you didn't tell me now.
19:21You're my chief resident, right?
19:23Don't you want to know if one of your third years is trying to undermine?
19:27You know I love you, right?
19:30Hey, what is it? What's wrong?
19:34I just remembered you telling me you love me in the parking garage.
19:43Yeah, yeah, that, that was the day of your accident.
19:52You're, you're really starting to have a lot of memories.
19:54Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
20:08I figured you and Nora could use a home-cooked meal, judging by all the door dash you ordered this last week.
20:14Hey, you're gonna judge, you can get your own account.
20:17And pay for food myself? Pretty sure that's child abuse.
20:20Is that who I think it is?
20:22Hey, how are you feeling?
20:24Oh, I couldn't tell you. I'm too tired.
20:26Is someone cooking?
20:28You try looking a little less surprised and I'll throw dessert in, too.
20:32Plus, I was hoping if I fed you, maybe we could talk about my senior project proposal.
20:37Oh, my God. I forgot to read it.
20:40Oh, that's my fault, sweetheart. I had him pull a double shift last night.
20:43Lucky for Dad, bolognese takes time and I brought a hard copy.
20:46I'm on it.
20:49What did Mom think?
20:51Um, she hasn't read it either. She's been kind of busy with her TMS.
20:54She's back to that?
20:55What's TMS?
20:56She didn't tell you? She got a few memories back.
20:59Uh, no. She didn't mention it. Of what?
21:02I guess she got some at the hospital with that cop and then some more a few days ago.
21:06Something about a restaurant.
21:08This rounds on me?
21:14Claire, I know you lost your privacy, but it's time to do your labs for a long time.
21:19I don't know.
21:20I don't know.
21:21I don't know.
21:22I don't know.
21:23I don't know.
21:24I don't know.
21:25I don't know.
21:26I don't know.
21:27But it's time to do your labs.
21:31What the hell is going on?
21:33I just wanted to help.
21:38You had your injection couriered from Mexico?
21:41And who is this?
21:42A friend and a nurse practitioner.
21:45Have you ever performed a lumbar puncture?
21:47I've assisted on several.
21:48Okay, put the needle down. Step away from my patient before I call security.
21:51No, no.
21:52Wait.
21:53Just close the curtain.
21:54Give us ten minutes.
21:55You don't want to help me.
21:56Fine.
21:57But do not get in the way of the only hope I have to hold my life together.
22:00Claire, an improperly administered injection could leave you paralyzed.
22:05It could kill you.
22:06I don't care.
22:07You stop this.
22:08I'll try something else.
22:10But I am not going back to the way things were.
22:13Do you understand me?
22:23Give me this panel now.
22:24So, before your clinical rotation started, you spent your summers doing internships at NIH and Mayo.
22:35Bit of an overachiever, huh?
22:37I just did what I had to do.
22:39I mean, I worked my ass off for that med school scholarship.
22:42But most of the people I'm up against went to Harvard and Yale, right?
22:45Yeah.
22:46That why you got here today five hours early?
22:48Too eager?
22:49No, no.
22:50Never.
22:51And it looks like you made the most of Case Western, Summa Cum Laude, Alpha Omega Alpha, and a publication in Circulation Journal?
22:58Yeah, that's why I stayed on a few extra months.
23:01I was doing research on aortic bowel stenosis.
23:03Wanted to see it through.
23:04Then when this position opened up off-cycle, it felt like kismet.
23:07Why's that?
23:08Oh, well, my father used to work here.
23:12He was an attending in this department, actually.
23:14I'm kind of following in his footsteps.
23:17Clark, as in Brian Clark?
23:19That's him, yeah.
23:20Wow, okay.
23:21Yeah, I only met him a few times, but he always seemed like a great guy.
23:24I was very sorry to hear that he passed.
23:27Yeah.
23:28Way too young.
23:30Look, I know you've been here since like 9 a.m.
23:34But if you can stay a little longer, I'd love for you to meet Dr. Ridley.
23:38Wait, are you serious?
23:40Yeah.
23:41Oh, my God.
23:43Well, don't thank me quite yet.
23:45I'm just a good cop.
23:52Have they started?
23:53No, no, why?
24:02What's going on?
24:03Secondary labs came back.
24:04His prothrombin time is through the roof.
24:06You operate now?
24:07He'll bleed out.
24:08Why isn't his liver functioning?
24:09This can't all be from the infection.
24:10No, we must be missing something.
24:14Can you track down the records from his original amputation?
24:17The name's Kevin Cross.
24:19No, I heard you the first time.
24:20I'm just not seeing it.
24:21I don't think we ever treated him.
24:23That can't be right.
24:24Anyone injured in Afghanistan would have went to Ramstein.
24:27It would have been March 2013 of BKA.
24:30I don't know what to tell you, man.
24:31According to my records, Kevin Cross was never here.
24:34Sorry.
24:35I gotta go now.
24:40120 over 81.
24:42That's good, right?
24:44No headache?
24:45Vision changes?
24:46Any numbness, tingling anywhere?
24:48I'm fine.
24:49Really.
24:50Well, the good news is your transaminases are leveling off.
24:53I added a fresh frozen plasma to help your clotting.
24:58Look, I'm sorry.
25:00Okay?
25:01I know that I put you in a bad position.
25:03You did.
25:06But I know what it's like to have the life you want taken away from you.
25:16Thanks, Elise.
25:17Hey.
25:18How'd it go in there?
25:19How did she take the news?
25:21Oh, yeah.
25:22As well as could be expected.
25:23But Dr. Walker has found a group at NYU launching an otogolist stem cell trial for MS patients.
25:31You're bleeding.
25:32Oh.
25:33Oh.
25:34Oh, God.
25:36Uh, excuse me?
25:37Amy?
25:38Uh.
25:39You okay?
25:40Found what we're looking for.
25:41Turns out Kevin wasn't in Afghanistan at the time of the accident.
25:42What?
25:43Why would he lie about that?
25:44Any number of reasons why a soldier might not come clean about where he was stationed.
25:45Point is, his operation wasn't in Germany.
25:46It was in Georgia.
25:47And that matters because?
25:48They also replaced his hip.
25:49Now, the hip's asymptomatic, but arthroplasties can degenerate into metal on metal.
25:51And 12 years ago in Georgia, they would have used a cobalt alloy, not titanium.
25:52Cobalt toxicity.
25:53What?
25:54I don't know.
25:55I don't know.
25:56I don't know.
25:57I don't know.
25:58I don't know.
25:59I don't know.
26:00I don't know.
26:01I don't know.
26:02I don't know.
26:03I don't know.
26:04I don't know.
26:05I don't know.
26:06I don't know.
26:07I don't know.
26:08I don't know.
26:09I don't know.
26:10I don't know.
26:11If they were to go in Georgia, they would have used a cobalt alloy, not titanium.
26:13Cobalt toxicity would explain the fistula, infection, high PT.
26:16He has metallosis.
26:17Good catch, TJ.
26:19I just hope we're not too late to fix it.
26:21Double shot.
26:22Yeah.
26:23About a minute.
26:24What can I do for you, John?
26:27I wanted to talk to you about Amy and the treatment protocol you have her on.
26:32I don't discuss my patients or their treatment protocols.
26:35Are you aware she's having nosebleeds?
26:37And her ID badge scanned the pixis for multiple doses of naproxen today.
26:42You're surveilling her pixis access?
26:44It's my job to know what's happening with my staff, not just be her friend.
26:48Headaches and nosebleeds aren't uncommon for TMS patients.
26:51Well, they're not particularly desirable in doctors.
26:54She's doing what she needs to do.
26:56Come on.
26:57Let's get real.
26:58I think we both know that memory recovery is a pipe dream at best.
27:01But at worst, it'll make her emotional, irrational, distracted.
27:05So if she's really trying to get back to where she was, you're not doing her any favors.
27:10There you go again, acting like you know what's best for her.
27:12Well, guess what?
27:13It's not up to you, and it never was.
27:16You're the only one who doesn't seem to get that.
27:18Welcome back.
27:28Dr. Brand said the surgery went well.
27:30Turns out your hip replacement was the culprit.
27:33But he fixed you up.
27:35And the necrosis in the stump wasn't as widespread as we feared.
27:39Which means the revision was minimal.
27:41Your knee's still intact.
27:43Wait.
27:44Really?
27:47With physical therapy and a new prosthetic, it'll be good as new.
27:51Let me change that for you.
27:54You really think this one will be different?
27:56I hate to be one of those annoying doctors with their promises.
27:59But...
28:01Yeah, I do.
28:04Then I guess I owe you an apology.
28:06No, man.
28:08I think maybe you were right about me.
28:11My whole life I've been a man with a mission.
28:13Son of cops, military, med school.
28:18Until last week.
28:20You took a bullet on the job.
28:22And became just another thing my friends had to worry about.
28:26Now I'm out of commission for God knows how long,
28:29and I keep replaying it in my mind.
28:33Asking myself why I jumped that guy.
28:35What is it I'm so desperate to prove?
28:38I don't know.
28:41Maybe I do have a hero complex.
28:42I was just being bitter.
28:44And I am the last person who should make you doubt yourself.
28:51My whole life I've been a waste of space.
28:54Pissed away my twenties.
28:57Joined the military at 31 hoping to find some purpose.
29:02Never you made it out of basic.
29:08I mishandled a grenade.
29:11Blew my own leg off.
29:13I wore the uniform for six weeks,
29:15and what do I have to show for it?
29:20It doesn't matter how long you wore the uniform.
29:22Most people are never brave enough to put it on.
29:25You remember that.
29:26Next time you feel anything other than proud.
29:29I can try.
29:36Hey.
29:38You know what? Let me do this.
29:39It's my turn anyway.
29:40Don't argue with that.
29:42I'm sorry.
29:43I haven't been much help today.
29:44I wasn't expecting Katie to-
29:45I love having her here.
29:47It's Amy being here I could do without.
29:50Come on, I think that's unfair.
29:52So that phone call you had earlier today had nothing to do with her?
29:56This should be our time, Michael.
29:58I know.
29:59And it is.
30:01I-I think we can both agree her memories coming back must be destabilizing.
30:05For her or for you?
30:07You should have seen the look on your face when Katie told us.
30:10I'm not allowed to have complicated feelings about my ex-wife remembering the worst years of our lives.
30:14Wow, so now our marriage is part of the worst years of your life.
30:17You know that's not what I meant.
30:18Just tell me this.
30:19What exactly are you afraid of?
30:21Because I think that you're scared that she'll remember why she left you and then she won't be pining after you anymore.
30:25No, that's just not-
30:26Then that scares the hell out of me.
30:31Nora.
30:33Honey.
30:34Come here.
30:39Hey.
30:42I love you.
30:43And I meant what I said at the hospital.
30:46I'm in this.
30:48I know.
30:49I-sorry.
30:50I just-I'm so tired.
30:52Claire, have you been up and about?
31:04Dr. Larson?
31:05Uh, I haven't-I haven't left bed.
31:07Why?
31:08Are you having chest pain?
31:09Uh-uh.
31:12How about palpitations?
31:14Nausea?
31:15I'm just a little dizzy, I guess.
31:17Is anything wrong?
31:18Your heart's acting up a bit.
31:19I'm gonna settle it down.
31:22Uh-uh.
31:25Crash car?
31:26What's going on?
31:27I could use your help in here.
31:29Claire?
31:30This is Dr. Howler.
31:31He's gonna help stabilize your rhythm and fix that dizziness, okay?
31:34Hey, Claire.
31:35How long have you been feeling this way?
31:36Just a few minutes.
31:37I'm gonna start proprapinol.
31:39Do you have any history of heart problems?
31:41No.
31:42None.
31:43Odd complication from hepatitis.
31:46It's not from her hepatitis.
31:48I injected her with intrashecal stem cells about an hour ago.
31:51It's probably from a fluid bolus in PrEP.
31:54You gave her a non-FDA drug treatment set from Mexico.
32:01Claire.
32:02She's VTAC.
32:05Charging to 200.
32:06Clear.
32:07Clear.
32:08Oh, wait. I can explain it.
32:21Stay with your patient.
32:22Get a beta block drip going and a full loading dose of amiodo on board and then you monitor
32:34her blood pressure.
32:35She's not out of the woods yet.
32:36Neither are you.
32:37Don't talk to anybody.
32:38You're welcome.
32:39Dad, you okay in here?
32:40Shh.
32:41Shh.
32:42Shh.
32:44What you looking at?
32:46Well, I was trying to find that old mobile we hung over the crib with you and Danny.
32:52Then I found this.
32:54Simon looks like him, doesn't he?
32:57You know, he does, a little.
32:59Except...
33:00The eyes, those are all Nora.
33:03Between you and me, I think he's got Nora's lungs, too.
33:09I know how happy you are, but I'm sure it's also really hard.
33:13For you, too, right?
33:17I guess Nora's kind of living in a pretty big shadow.
33:20I know.
33:22I might have heard you arguing.
33:25We're just running on empty, that's all.
33:35Part of you still loves Mom, though.
33:38Don't you?
33:46Part of me always will.
33:50I guess I gave you quite the scare, I'll say.
33:59Your heart looks good now, though.
34:01Is this gonna disqualify me from the trial?
34:03I spoke to Dr. Rodriguez, and he's agreed to keep you in,
34:08despite your latest setback.
34:10That is twice that you saved my life.
34:19I don't really know how to thank you.
34:24She's hemodynamically stable, and normal sign is for them.
34:28Good.
34:31If you're all set here, I'd like a word.
34:33Just make the most of it, yeah?
34:48So that's it?
34:49All's well that ends well?
34:50You don't understand.
34:51Those treatments were saving her life.
34:52You were lecturing me earlier about how I'm chief resident.
34:55Tell me, how do you expect someone in that position to keep quiet about this?
34:58Then go report me to Joan.
35:00I'm not gonna do that.
35:01And you know that, which is part of the problem.
35:03Because you still love me.
35:11I will never do that to you again.
35:12I asked you to stop this.
35:32I do remember that.
35:35Sorry.
35:38Okay, you don't look sorry.
35:40No.
35:40How do I look?
35:56You out of here?
35:57And not a second too soon.
35:59Before you fly the coop, Joan wants to see the whole department.
36:03She's calling in all hands at 7 p.m.?
36:05Mm-hmm.
36:06Damn, this woman is no joke.
36:08I'll help you with your stuff.
36:09You knew, didn't you?
36:15About Kevin.
36:18So, when I asked you why somebody would lie about their injury...
36:22Wasn't my story to tell.
36:23Well, for what it's worth, I don't think you have a hero complex.
36:28I think maybe you're just a hero.
36:33I'll be damned.
36:34Sonia Matra has a soft side.
36:36Mm-hmm.
36:37Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
36:39Don't tell me you're sneaking out of here without saying goodbye.
36:41Nah, the new chief wouldn't allow that.
36:43But hey, thanks for the nudge today.
36:45I'm glad I talked to Kevin.
36:47Yeah, well, I find, in my experience, the best way to get out of funk is to be of service to someone else.
36:52I don't know if I'd call it a funk.
36:55Please.
36:55What?
36:56What matters is Kevin's going to be okay, and I will, too.
37:00Happy to hear.
37:02Do you need a ride home tonight, after the meeting?
37:04Headed that way.
37:05Thanks, but my parents are coming to get me.
37:09Appreciate it, though.
37:10Yeah, anytime.
37:11Florence Nightingale never offered me a ride home.
37:37Whatever it is, you're strong enough to fight it, and I'm here.
37:41It's, um, it's, it's, it's MDS, so there's a good chance it'll turn into leukemia.
37:56Then we'll cross that bridge, okay?
37:58I'm sorry.
38:02I know it's not what you want to hear right now, but if it gets bad and you start to experience deficits,
38:09you, you can't perform surgery anymore.
38:11That's a hell of a bedside manner you've got there.
38:18Look, I'm just saying that you can't operate if your hand's shaking.
38:24I would never do anything to jeopardize a patient, and I don't need you to tell me that.
38:31You want to see us?
38:32Yes.
38:33Yes.
38:34Uh, I wanted to talk about Claire Pinto's spontaneous ventricular tachycardia earlier today.
38:49She didn't tell you that either.
38:53Well, it's a rare complication of hepatitis.
38:55Very rare.
38:56More likely, it's an adverse reaction to an intrathecal shot, which happened to occur just hours after a courier signed in a package from Mexico to Claire.
39:05I think we all need to stop assuming the worst.
39:07Do you deny giving that woman the shot?
39:09Let me put this plainly.
39:16Your ex-husband is the CMO, your boyfriend was your chief resident, and your best friend is your neurologist, which means you've been given too wide a birth.
39:26What you've accomplished since your accident is remarkable, but I've been reviewing your cases, and your behavior is concerning.
39:34You're reviewing my cases?
39:35Yes, of course.
39:37You know I have always taken pride in your success, but you took advantage of our friendship today.
39:43And let's be clear, kiddo, you're still auditioning.
39:49Now, if you'll join me in the IMO, I have a few announcements to make.
39:59Nosebleeds, naproxen, and IT injection from Mexico?
40:02Why am I hearing about that from Joan?
40:04It was a pretty busy day with patients.
40:07I was going to tell you.
40:08We need to slow down your treatments.
40:10No, Gina.
40:11No.
40:12It's working.
40:13I had two new memories today.
40:16I'm not saying we stop.
40:18But if we continue the TMS, we do it my way.
40:21Slow, steady, no secrets.
40:24We clear?
40:25Yeah.
40:32You ready to go down to dinner?
40:59I don't want to jinx it, but Simon says it looks pretty good.
41:03I'll be right there.
41:03I'm about to make your day.
41:33My dad's plans fell through tonight, so he can't use his floor-side tickets to the Timberwolves game.
41:41Um, that sounds great, but I got, I got Mia.
41:45Oh, I, I thought it was Rachel's, uh, turn.
41:52Never mind.
41:53Some other time.
41:53Yeah.
41:54Okay, I think we have a quorum.
41:57Let's get started.
41:58First, uh, I want to thank you all for a great first day.
42:02From what I've seen so far, I can work with this.
42:05We have a talented group, and I'm excited to captain the ship.
42:10I know that there has been some disarray in this department and some issues with leadership,
42:15but make no mistake, I am here to make this the best hospital in the country.
42:20And that starts with making each of you better.
42:24With every patient, every day, we will be smarter, more efficient, leaner and meaner.
42:32In two months, there will be an official evaluation.
42:35Some of you will not survive it.
42:40If that scares you, good.
42:42It means you want this.
42:44And for the best of the best, fear is a motivator, not a deterrent.
42:48Now we will see who rises to the challenge and who doesn't.
42:55See you all tomorrow.
43:05See you all tomorrow.
43:35See you all tomorrow.
43:37See you all tomorrow.
43:38See you all tomorrow.
43:39Bye.
