00:00Hey there, uh, I'm Dr. Wolfe.
00:02Dear heavens, you're a one handsome man.
00:05You're a doctor?
00:07Uh, I am.
00:08They hear you're looking for Mr. Bowman. Are you Mrs.?
00:11That boy wishes. I'm Grace Ann.
00:13Grace Ann Stevens. Benson's my guy.
00:15Alright, right this way, Grace Ann.
00:17I'm Benson's doctor. I can show you his room.
00:19Just right around here.
00:23Oh, my God.
00:25Spencer?
00:26Jesus!
00:27Silva, can I get some help?
00:28Yeah.
00:30His pulse is increasing. It's hypothermic.
00:3293.2. It's an aggressive job.
00:33Okay, Benson, we gotta warm you up, alright, buddy?
00:35Warm blankets and warm lactated ringers with two large IVs.
00:37We gotta administer these fluids rapidly now.
00:39Can I get some help here?
00:41Benson, come on.
00:45Benson, why didn't you tell me you're an alcoholic?
00:48We don't call it that where I'm from.
00:51My mama, she was born with that...
00:54Oh, what do you call it?
00:56Uh, fetus alcohol disease.
00:58Fetal alcohol syndrome?
00:59Yeah, the day I was born...
01:02First thing she asked the doctor was,
01:04is he like me?
01:05She drank all nine months for pregnancy.
01:07That's what we do.
01:09My family.
01:11My friends.
01:13I was sober 12 years, then I turned 13.
01:17I wasn't even drinking when I came in here.
01:21I was sober all two days. I didn't think it was related.
01:25Well, what you have is called a typical Wernicke's disease,
01:28sometimes referred to as wet brain.
01:30It's a thiamine deficiency caused by chronic alcohol abuse.
01:33Alcohol blocks thiamine, commonly known as vitamin B1.
01:38And in severe cases, it can lead to paralysis, coma, even death.
01:43Yeah, but thiamine.
01:47That's what y'all got me hooked up to.
01:49It's gonna fix me.
01:50Well, it will alleviate some of your symptoms,
01:52the wide gate, the hypothermia,
01:54but I believe your hallucination was caused by alcohol withdrawal,
01:58which Grace had treated with hand sanitizer.
02:01Grace, she was just trying to help me.
02:06She's seen me through a lot.
02:09We've always been there for each other.
02:12We got this dream of owning this big ranch
02:16with one of those wraparound porches,
02:18and we'll get us some rocking chairs,
02:20and we'll sit back under that pink Montana sky,
02:25sip a couple cold ones.
02:27I don't think Grace would be too keen
02:31sipping sparkly water instead.
02:33Well, how would she feel about sitting on that porch
02:36all by herself?
02:41I've tried everything.
02:43I worked all the steps.
02:44I went to therapy.
02:46I hired a sober buddy, expensive rehab, cheap rehab.
02:50I even tried hypnotherapy and those GLP-1s.
02:54I just wasn't born with an off switch.
03:01Then we need to get you one.
