00:01Previously on Doc, Dr. Larson was in a car accident.
00:04She has no recollection of the last eight years.
00:07You almost got Jake and TJ killed because of the things you didn't remember.
00:10Your muscle was badly torn up by the bullet.
00:12You're lucky we could save the leg.
00:14Does the board know what you just did?
00:15You put our accreditation at risk.
00:17Take your paternity leave now.
00:19When you look at him, all you see is the man who you think let your son die.
00:22You have no choice. You have to leave him.
00:24Would you maybe consider being chief of internal medicine at the best hospital in Minneapolis?
00:34So where are you headed?
00:35Pardon?
00:36I saw you put in the international terminal. You flying somewhere fun?
00:40Mexico City.
00:41Oh, nice. Business or pleasure?
00:43Good of both. I'm a chef. No better food scene.
00:46Ain't that the truth. Good dancing, too.
00:48My wife and I went there for our 30th.
00:50You imagine me in a salsa lesson? Yeah, me neither.
00:54But, happy wife is a happy life.
00:56And you get enough to heal on me, suddenly I'm spread of sex.
01:00I have a recommendation for you.
01:02You okay?
01:03I'm fine. Just drive, please.
01:05You sure you're okay?
01:11I think I need a hospital.
01:13No.
01:28You anything?
01:29Nothing new.
01:31So, all you've got is cake, wine and flowers?
01:33And scotch, which Joan must have been drinking.
01:37I remembered her at the dinner.
01:38She was telling me to leave Michael.
01:41And why am I hearing about this now?
01:43I'm sorry. It should have been the first thing I said when I got here this morning.
01:45But I know how you used to feel about her.
01:47And I wanted to see if the TMS would shake something loose.
01:50Give me some context.
01:51The context is she preferred the version of you that didn't have a life beyond medicine.
01:55So, I told you about this back then?
01:57Nope.
01:58But I know how she thinks.
02:00You really don't trust her, do you?
02:02Never did.
02:03Never will.
02:04But, I know she's done some good things for you.
02:07She championed me.
02:08I never thought you needed that.
02:10Right.
02:13Same time tomorrow?
02:14Depends.
02:15Still no side effects?
02:17Little headache.
02:19Nothing worries him.
02:29I had some memories.
02:35Maybe I can remember me and us.
02:47I know I can't ask you to wait.
02:52Are you meditating or short-circuiting?
02:55No, I just, I didn't get much sleep last night.
02:57Buck up, soldier.
02:58First day of basic training.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Let me get this straight.
03:02You've had four days to run blood work and nothing to show for it?
03:05Who are you, Elizabeth Holmes?
03:07Well, yesterday would be better, but sure, end of day.
03:12Everything okay?
03:13Oh, I'd just like to bust a few balls the first day,
03:15letting people know where they stand.
03:16Okay, well, don't let me skip the line.
03:19That's not why you're here.
03:21I need a favor.
03:22With Dr. Coleman out a few more weeks, we could use a new intern.
03:25You're going to interview them and select the best candidate.
03:28Wait, so you're giving me hiring privileges?
03:30Dr. Larson and Dr. Miller didn't let their chief resident make decisions?
03:34Uh, no, no.
03:35Not if they could help it.
03:36Well, I believe in empowering people.
03:37They're all qualified to figure out which one has a soul.
03:40All right.
03:45Dr. Heller.
03:46Dr. Larson?
03:50So that's going well, huh?
03:52You knew about us?
03:54Oh, you told me last year.
03:56Oh.
03:57Per the HR briefing I received yesterday.
04:00It started up again post-accident?
04:02It did.
04:02We're in a holding pattern now.
04:04Well, the sequel's number is good.
04:06And how is it with the TMS treatments?
04:08Any more memories?
04:09Just a few.
04:11Nothing really of substance.
04:14Oh.
04:15Well, keep me posted on that.
04:18So what do you think?
04:19The decor is a work in progress, but it beats mosquito nets in Kenya.
04:23Yeah.
04:23Yeah.
04:23I see you added some not-so-local flavor.
04:26Oh.
04:27Well, um, don't get too comfortable.
04:29Because that's my seat.
04:30You're keeping warm.
04:31I'm relieved the accident didn't curb your ambition.
04:39Can you tell me how long this is going to take?
04:40I'm supposed to be on a plane.
04:43Oh.
04:44Well, uh, your tests and labs indicate drug-induced hepatitis, which is why you were vomiting
04:50blood.
04:50We'll treat you with steroids, but I'm going to need to see your ALT and ASDs come down
04:55before I can discharge you.
04:57Okay.
04:58So like a few hours?
04:59Could be.
05:01First of all, I want to figure out what medication caused this.
05:04So you are taking cladribine, baclofen, and interferon beta for your MS?
05:09I don't take those anymore.
05:10Too many side effects.
05:12I prefer to manage my day-to-day symptoms with traditional remedies like ginkgo for fatigue,
05:18cava for anxiety, some goldenseal, and tryptophan.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Low-dose herbals usually don't cause this.
05:26Are you sure there isn't something else that you've been taking?
05:29Okay.
05:32So I've been getting experimental stem cell injections in Mexico.
05:38I think you buried the lead.
05:40I know.
05:40It's just that can't be what's causing this.
05:43I've been on the protocol for six months.
05:44I've never thrown up blood.
05:46Well, sometimes the reaction time can lag.
05:49No!
05:49It takes...
05:50Okay?
05:51These injections aren't hurting me.
05:53They've saved my life.
05:56Dr. Walker, can you consult on a patient with MS?
06:00Apparently she found a drug trial in Mexico through an ad on social media.
06:04Let me see your scans.
06:07This medical tourism thing is...
06:09You evolved quite a bit in the eight years you don't remember.
06:12You weren't a fan.
06:12Yeah, it's everywhere.
06:13I mean, I can't scroll my feed without seeing a discount code for IVF in the Czech Republic.
06:17We're a plane full of men with Turkish hair transplants.
06:20My sister-in-law got her mommy makeover in Sao Paulo.
06:23Boob job, lipo, and tummy tuck for four Gs.
06:25What? That sounds too good to be true.
06:27Yeah, double Ds for four Gs.
06:29I'm texting my ex.
06:30Oh, Peter, you're a pig.
06:32What?
06:32Okay, I know I should be skeptical, but her scans look great, right?
06:36Plaques are regressing, and there's much less active disease than a year ago.
06:39I mean, you're telling me that this is putting her MS into long-term remission.
06:43Looks that way.
06:47Going home today, right?
06:49PT says you're hitting all your milestones?
06:51Yeah, maybe they'll let me graduate to the 10-pound weights.
06:55Well, not with that attitude.
06:57Sorry, it's just when Dr. Agassi said it'd be a long recovery,
06:59I don't think I realized just how slow it would feel.
07:05No, I don't need help!
07:06I need this hunk of garbage to do its frickin' job!
07:10See?
07:11This guy gets it.
07:13Well, his name is Kevin Cross.
07:15He lost his leg in Afghanistan 12 years ago.
07:19Maybe you should talk to him.
07:20Why?
07:21Because they're both part of the Sad Soldiers Club?
07:23I hate to break it to you, but he got shot in a hospital.
07:26As far as I can tell, just a sad doctor.
07:28Look, I can't even help myself right now.
07:31How am I supposed to help that guy?
07:41We're treating her hepatitis, but our ALTs and ASTs are still sky-high.
07:46I'm trying to figure out what drug caused this.
07:48What can you tell me about the treatment you're doing in Mexico?
07:51They're mesenchymal stem cells, but we administer intratically,
07:54so systemic absorption is unlikely.
07:56What about pretreatment meds?
07:58Astatin, amoxicillin clavulinate, ibuprofen, all standard doses.
08:03Unless they weren't.
08:04She's taking several supplements, which could disrupt her ability to metabolize the drugs.
08:09Well, there's a problem.
08:10When do you think she can fly?
08:12I'd say end of the week.
08:14That's not gonna work.
08:15Claire's due for an injection today.
08:17If she doesn't receive it in 24 hours, I have to discontinue her from the study.
08:21But if she doesn't get this treatment, her disease will come roaring back.
08:24The trial adheres to strict protocols.
08:26If I violate that, I lose my funding.
08:29I'm sorry.
08:30I wish I could make an exception, but my hands are tied.
08:35Okay.
08:44Dr. Wilson, it's been a while.
08:47Wow.
08:47Looks like an open casting call out there.
08:50Yeah.
08:51Um, well, I gotta admit, I was surprised to see you here.
08:54If memory serves, last time we spoke, you said you were too triggered to work here?
08:59For what it's worth, I don't think it was the environment I found challenging so much as the, uh, leadership.
09:06But this new chief has a great reputation and an impressive list of publications, too.
09:11I'm glad you approve.
09:11No, uh, no, it-it's just, I don't think anyone would dispute that Dr. Larson could be difficult.
09:18Well, due to her injuries, she's back to being an intern again, so that means you would be rounding with
09:23her as a colleague.
09:24Do you think that'd be a problem for you?
09:26Dr. Larson an intern again?
09:28Have you ever heard of the term Schadenfreude, Dr. Wilson?
09:31Because I'm not really sure that's a look we want here, but it was good to see you again.
09:35And I'll be sure to send Dr. Larson your regards.
09:42Hey, everything okay?
09:44Hi, why are we whispering?
09:45I don't want to wake my new boss.
09:47Oh, my gosh, you're on paternity leave already.
09:49Yeah, I-I, uh, I was gonna wait a few weeks, but then decided to just strike while the iron
09:56was hot.
09:56I'm sorry to bother you.
09:58It's okay, don't be. What-what's going on?
10:01I need a chartered med flight to Mexico City.
10:04And I thought diapers were expensive.
10:06What did Joan say?
10:07Oh, um, I haven't asked her yet. I figured with something this big, I should go right to the top.
10:12Joan holds the purse strings now. Let me patch her in.
10:15Yeah, of course.
10:19My phone.
10:24Oh, open.
10:26Okay, we're all on.
10:28Will you be paying with cash or card for this med flight?
10:31I get that this is an aggressive ask.
10:34But the patient is a 37-year-old female with relapsing-remitting MS, and this is-
10:39Do you want to send Claire Pinto on a four-hour flight with active hepatitis?
10:42We fixed her diathesis issues, and she is a participant in an experimental stem cell therapy.
10:48Do you want to fly her to Mexico for experimental treatments?
10:52I get that it's unusual, but this doctor is the real deal.
10:55Trained at Hopkins, awarded an R01 from the NIH, but moved his trials to Mexico.
11:00You're talking about Rodriguez.
11:01Oh, you know him?
11:02Oh, brilliant minds.
11:04Unconventional in the best ways, but his treatments flaunt the FDA and will put the whole hospital
11:08at risk after the UNOS run in.
11:10She's right, and if anything goes wrong in flight, we're liable.
11:13But these treatments are literally saving her.
11:16That's a hard no. I suggest you find a trial this side of the border.
11:21Look, uh, I-I gotta go.
11:24I'm sorry it's not what you wanted to hear, but you have your decision.
11:29Okay.
11:40I've been on the job three hours, and you're already going over my head?
11:44Old habits die hard, I guess.
11:45Look, I'm sure you feel like you have a lot to prove, so you want to go the extra mile
11:51for your patients, but people get sick, and we can't always offer them the moon.
11:57Show Miss Pinto how to make peace with her disease and with the limits of modern medicine.
12:05Sometimes that's all we can do.
12:17She's your biggest fan.
12:22Yeah, I'm still here.
12:26He is my chief resident.
12:28Can't just make a move, no matter how I feel about him.
12:39Hey, you making a run for it?
12:40You just headed back to my room after PT.
12:42Alone? Here, let me help you.
12:43I-I got it, Julie.
12:44Well, thanks.
12:53Can I help you?
12:54T.J. Coleman, 75th Ranger Regiment.
12:57I hear you served, too.
12:59Is this the part where we do the secret handshake?
13:01No, brother, I just came here just-
13:02Oh, oh, you saw my meltdown in PT, and you thought I needed a pep doc.
13:07You call it a meltdown, I just call it a Tuesday.
13:10Well, sounds like you've been here a while.
13:11I work here.
13:13I mean, when I don't look like this, I'm a doctor.
13:15What happened to your leg?
13:16A guy came into the hospital with a gun.
13:18I tried to disarm him, and...
13:21Why is that funny?
13:22Ranger, doctor, action figure, and you've been in that chair for, what, a week?
13:28And so you thought you'd wheel your bored ass down here and find someone to fix to take the edge
13:33off?
13:33I didn't mean to offend you.
13:34No, no, no, no.
13:35You just got a hero complex, and you figured you'd work it out on me.
13:38No, that's not what I was trying to do.
13:39You wanna help me?
13:40Track down Dr. Brandt, okay?
13:42I've been waiting here for three hours for a routine checkup.
13:45Actually, you know what?
13:45Better yet, you tell him the prosthetic that he said would change my life has been nothing but trouble since
13:50the day I got it.
13:51It shouldn't be that way.
13:52With the right equipment, people will barely notice. That's what he said.
13:56Turns out it's the only thing people notice.
13:58I can't even get groceries without someone thanking me for my service.
14:04How long does it look like that?
14:06Man, you can't take a hint, can you?
14:08You know what?
14:09If you're not gonna leave, then I will.
14:11No, no, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
14:14Hey, I need a hint in here!
14:16What the hell are you doing?
14:19This man has an AB fistula that should have been dealt with long ago.
14:21I need hydrogel dressing, gauze, and an elastic bandage.
14:24Don't worry, brother, we're gonna give you some real help, okay?
14:27This isn't happening.
14:29Um, just get me whatever you need me to sign, but I'm leaving and getting on that plane.
14:33The last time you went to the airport, you threw up blood.
14:36If that happens when you're up in the air, there'll be no way to stop the bleeding.
14:40Well, that's a chance I'll take.
14:41I understand that you think that this treatment is your only shot,
14:45but Dr. Walker has found two new possible therapies.
14:49They've received FDA approval for trials as early as next year.
14:52And in the meantime, I-I what?
14:54I-I just go back to the way things were?
14:57A year ago, I couldn't feed myself, much less anyone else.
15:00I-I lost my restaurant, my livelihood.
15:03I'm sorry, Claire, but you're in no condition to leave this hospital.
15:06And if you refuse to stay put, I have no choice than to place you on a 72-hour psychiatric
15:11hold.
15:11Can she do that?
15:12Uh, she can. And she will.
15:15Wow. So much for my body, my choice, right?
15:19You know, if I had terminal cancer, the FDA would approve an experimental treatment in a heartbeat.
15:24But because I have a degenerative disease that won't kill me tomorrow, I'm not allowed to fight for the life
15:29that I want.
15:30No one is saying you can't fight for it. These other trials-
15:32I don't want another trial! I want the one that's working now!
15:36We're trying to mitigate your risk!
15:38No! No! What you're doing is paternalistic. And wrong. And I think that you both know that.
15:46Just go, please. Get out.
16:08The heart has beta-1 receptors. The lungs have beta-2, so a cardioselective approach lets us treat the heart
16:17without compromising pulmonary function.
16:20Ah, Dr. Coleman, I was looking for you earlier. I hear you have been busy catching ortho's mistakes. I like
16:27the hustle. Thank you.
16:29I do what I can.
16:30And how's the recovery?
16:31Going home today, actually. Just making sure they're holding down the fort up here.
16:35Well, I assure you, the department's in good hands. In fact, I'm bringing on a new intern to lighten the
16:39load while you're recovering.
16:41So take all the time you need. We want you at full strength.
16:51Hey. So, what do we think of her?
16:55Too early to tell. You got time for a consult?
16:59Hi, Kevin. I'm Dr. Maetra. It's a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for your service. Mind if I
17:06take a look at that leg?
17:07Yeah. Your call. The last guy I tried got covered in blood.
17:14Does that hurt?
17:16No. Nothing compared to my prosthesis. That thing rubs like hell.
17:20Increased echogenicity in the lateral quadrant and loss of normal architecture.
17:31Thickening medially as well.
17:33Not as bad as it sounds.
17:35You ruptured an abnormal blood vessel, which is, unfortunately, a complication from an infection.
17:41So, I need more antibiotics.
17:43Unfortunately, it's too advanced for that. Most likely, you'll need a stump provision.
17:52You mean, you're gonna take more of my leg?
17:58Above the knee?
18:00Sorry, ma'am.
18:05I mean, honestly, you know, after winning the Weiss Award, I'm currently fielding multiple offers.
18:10Like, Yale, Hopkins.
18:12So, maybe you could tell me what you think Westside has to offer me.
18:18You know what? We're actually running short on time.
18:21Sorry about that, but why don't we do this?
18:22How about, if you have any questions about the program, you just shoot me an email.
18:26Uh...
18:33I'm just gonna need a minute.
18:46Hey, Proxen, you feeling okay?
18:48Oh, I'm fine. Just, uh, tough day.
18:56What was that look for?
18:59Nothing.
18:59Okay, come on. You clearly want me to ask.
19:04She told me that I don't belong here.
19:06That this whole thing I'm doing is misguided and narcissistic.
19:10What? Sorry, why would she say that?
19:12You know, she's never liked me.
19:14And, apparently, she has a thing for you.
19:19Okay, you might want to just go easy on the medication.
19:21I had another memory where I heard her talking about it.
19:26I guess I never told you?
19:28Uh, no. No, and I kind of wish you didn't tell me now.
19:31You're my chief resident, right?
19:32Don't you want to know if one of your third years is trying to undermine?
19:36You know I love you, right?
19:40Hey, what...
19:42What is it? What's wrong?
19:44I just...
19:46...remembered you telling me you love me.
19:50In...
19:51In the parking garage?
19:54Yeah, yeah, that...
19:56That was the day of your accident.
20:02You're really starting to have a lot of memories.
20:16Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
20:18I figured you and Nora could use a home-cooked meal, judging by all the DoorDash you ordered this last
20:24week.
20:24Hey, if you're gonna judge, you can get your own account.
20:27And pay for food myself.
20:28Pretty sure that's child abuse.
20:30Is that who I think it is?
20:32Hey!
20:33How are you feeling?
20:34Oh, I couldn't tell you. I'm too tired.
20:37Is someone cooking?
20:38You try looking a little less surprised, and I'll throw dessert in, too.
20:43Plus, I was hoping if I fed you, maybe we could talk about my senior project proposal.
20:47Oh, my God. I forgot to read it.
20:50Oh, that's my fault, sweetheart. I had him pull a double shift last night.
20:54Lucky for Dad, bolognese takes time, and I brought a hard copy.
20:57I'm on it.
21:00What did Mom think?
21:01Um, she hasn't read it, either. She's been kind of busy with her TMS.
21:05She's back to that?
21:06What's TMS?
21:07She didn't tell you? She got a few memories back.
21:13Uh, no. She didn't mention it. Of what?
21:16I guess she got some at the hospital with that cop, and then some more a few days ago. Something
21:21about a restaurant.
21:26Uh, this round's on me?
21:34Claire, I know you asked for privacy, but it's time to do your labs.
21:41What the hell is going on? I just wanted to help.
21:47You had your injection couriered from Mexico? And who is this?
21:52A friend and a nurse practitioner.
21:55Have you ever performed a lumbar puncture?
21:57I've assisted on several.
21:58Okay, put the needle down. Step away from my patient before I call security.
22:01No, no. Wait. Just close the curtain. Give us ten minutes.
22:05You don't want to help me? Fine. But do not get in the way of the only hope I have
22:09to hold my life together.
22:09Claire, an improperly administered injection could leave you paralyzed. It could kill you.
22:15I don't care! You stop this. I'll try something else.
22:20But I am not going back to the way things were. Do you understand me?
22:32Give me the spinal needle.
22:40So, before your clinical rotation started, you spent your summers doing internships at NIH and Mayo.
22:46Bit of a overachiever, huh?
22:48I just did what I had to do. I mean, I worked my ass off for that med school scholarship.
22:53But most of the people I'm up against went to Harvard and Yale, right?
22:57Yeah. That why you got here today five hours early?
22:59Too eager?
23:00No. No. Never.
23:02Sure.
23:02And it looks like you made the most of Case Western, summa cum laude, Alpha Omega Alpha, and a publication
23:09and circulation journal.
23:10Yeah, that's why I stayed on a few extra months.
23:12I was doing research on aortic bowel stenosis. Wanted to see it through.
23:15Then when this position opened up off-cycle, it felt like kismet.
23:18Why's that?
23:20Oh, well, my father used to work here.
23:23He was an attending in this department, actually.
23:26I'm kind of following in his footsteps.
23:28Clark, as in Brian Clark?
23:30That's him, yeah.
23:31Wow, okay. Yeah, I only met him a few times, but he always seemed like a great guy.
23:36I was very sorry to hear that he passed.
23:38Yeah. Way too young.
23:43Look, I know you've been here since like 9am, but if you can stay a little longer, I'd love for
23:48you to meet Dr. Ridley.
23:50Wait, are you serious?
23:52Yeah.
23:53Oh, my God. Thank you.
23:56Well, don't thank me quite yet. I'm just a good cop.
24:03Have they started?
24:04No, no, why?
24:13What's going on?
24:14Secondary labs came back. His prothrombin time is through the roof.
24:17You operate now, he'll bleed out.
24:19Why isn't his liver functioning? This can't all be from the infection.
24:22No, we must be missing something.
24:26Can you track down the records from his original amputation?
24:29The name's Kevin Cross.
24:31No, I heard you the first time. I'm just not seeing it. I don't think we ever treated him.
24:35That can't be right. Anyone injured in Afghanistan would have went to Ramstein. It would have been March 2013 of
24:41BKA.
24:41I don't know what to tell you, ma'am. According to my records, Kevin Cross was never here. Sorry, I
24:46gotta go now.
24:52120 over 81.
24:53That's good, right?
24:55No headache? Vision changes? Any numbness, tingling anywhere?
25:00I'm fine. Really.
25:01Well, the good news is your transaminases are leveling off. I added a fresh frozen plasma to help your clotting.
25:10Look, I'm sorry. Okay? I know that I put you in a bad position.
25:15You did.
25:17But I know what it's like to have the life you want taken away from you.
25:30Thanks, Elise.
25:31Hey.
25:33How did she take the news?
25:36Oh, yeah. As well as could be expected.
25:39But Dr. Walker has found a group at NYU launching an antagonist stem cell trial for MS patients.
25:46You're bleeding.
25:47Oh.
25:49Oh, God.
25:52Uh, excuse me.
25:56Amy?
25:57Uh...
25:58You okay?
26:00Found what we're looking for.
26:01Turns out Kevin wasn't in Afghanistan at the time of the accident.
26:04What? Why would he lie about that?
26:06Any number of reasons why a soldier might not come clean about where he was stationed.
26:09Point is, his operation wasn't in Germany. It was in Georgia.
26:13And that matters because?
26:15They also replaced his hip. Now the hip's asymptomatic, but arthroplasties can degenerate into metal on metal.
26:20And 12 years ago in Georgia, they would've used a cobalt alloy, not titanium.
26:24Cobalt toxicity would explain the fistula, infection, high PT. He has metallosis.
26:29Good catch, TJ. I just hope we're not too late to fix it.
26:35Double shot.
26:36Yeah.
26:36About a minute.
26:38What can I do for you, John?
26:41I wanted to talk to you about Amy and the treatment protocol you have her on.
26:44I don't discuss my patients or their treatment protocols.
26:47Are you aware she's having nosebleeds?
26:49And her ID badge scanned the pixis for multiple doses of naproxen today.
26:53You're surveilling her pixis access?
26:55It's my job to know what's happening with my staff, not just be your friend.
27:00Headaches and nosebleeds aren't uncommon for TMS patients.
27:03Well, they're not particularly desirable in doctors.
27:06She's doing what she needs to do.
27:08Come on, let's get real.
27:09I think we both know that memory recovery is a pipe dream at best.
27:13But at worst, it'll make her emotional, irrational, distracted.
27:17So if she's really trying to get back to where she was, you're not doing her any favors.
27:21There you go again, acting like you know what's best for her.
27:24Well, guess what? It's not up to you, and it never was.
27:27You're the only one who doesn't seem to get that.
27:40Welcome back.
27:41Dr. Brand said the surgery went well.
27:43Turns out your hip replacement was the culprit, but he fixed you up.
27:48And the necrosis in the stump wasn't as widespread as we feared.
27:52Which means the revision was minimal.
27:55Your knee's still intact.
27:56Wait, really?
28:00With physical therapy and a new prosthetic, we good as new.
28:04Let me change that for you.
28:07You really think this one will be different?
28:09Hate to be one of those annoying doctors with their promises.
28:12What?
28:14Yeah, I do.
28:17Then I guess I owe you an apology.
28:19No, man.
28:20I think maybe you were right about me.
28:24My whole life I've been a man with a mission.
28:27Son of cops, military, med school.
28:31Until last week.
28:33You took a bullet on the job.
28:36And became just another thing my friends had to worry about.
28:39Now, I'm out of commission for God knows how long, and I keep replaying it in my mind.
28:46Asking myself, why I jumped that guy?
28:48What is it I'm so desperate to prove?
28:51I don't know.
28:54Maybe I do have a hero complex.
28:56I was just being bitter, and I am the last person who should make you doubt yourself.
29:05My whole life I've been a waste of space.
29:08Pissed away my 20s, joined the military at 31, hoping to find some purpose.
29:16Never you made it out of basic.
29:22I mishandled a grenade.
29:24Blew my own leg off.
29:26I wore the uniform for six weeks, and what do I have to show for it?
29:33It doesn't matter how long you wore the uniform.
29:35Most people are never brave enough to put it on.
29:38You remember that next time you feel anything other than proud.
29:43Well, I can try.
29:49Hey.
29:51You know what? Let me do this. It's my turn anyway.
29:54Don't argue with that.
29:55I'm sorry. I haven't been much help today. I wasn't expecting Katie to-
29:59I love having her here.
30:01It's Amy being here I could do without.
30:04Come on. I think that's unfair.
30:06So that phone call you had earlier today had nothing to do with her?
30:10This should be our time, Michael.
30:12I know. And it is.
30:14I think we can both agree her memories coming back must be destabilizing.
30:18For her or for you?
30:21You should have seen the look on your face when Katie told us.
30:23I'm not allowed to have complicated feelings about my ex-wife remembering the worst years of our lives.
30:28Wow. So now our marriage is part of the worst years of your life.
30:30You know that's not what I meant.
30:32Just tell me this. What exactly are you afraid of?
30:34Because I think that you're scared that she'll remember why she left you and then she won't be pining after
30:38you anymore.
30:39No, that's just not-
30:40Then that scares the hell out of me.
30:44Nora.
30:46Honey.
30:47Come here.
30:52Hey.
30:55I love you.
30:56And I meant what I said at the hospital.
30:59I'm in this.
31:01I know. I-
31:02Sorry. I just-
31:04I'm so tired.
31:14Claire, have you been up and about?
31:18Dr. Larson? Uh, I haven't- I haven't left bed. Why?
31:22Are you having chest pain?
31:23Uh-uh.
31:25How about palpitations? Nausea?
31:28I'm just a little dizzy, I guess.
31:31Is anything wrong?
31:32Your heart's acting up a bit. I'm gonna settle it down.
31:35Uh-uh.
31:38Crash car, what's going on?
31:40I could use your help in here.
31:42Claire, this is Dr. Howler. He's gonna help stabilize your rhythm and fix that dizziness, okay?
31:47Hey, Claire, how long have you been feeling this way?
31:49Just a few minutes. I'm gonna start proprapinol.
31:52Do you have any history of heart problems?
31:54No. None.
31:57Uh, complication from hepatitis.
31:59It's not from her hepatitis.
32:01I injected her with intrathecal stem cells about an hour ago.
32:04It's probably from a fluid bolus in PrEP.
32:07Give her a non-FDA drug treatment set from Mexico.
32:14Claire.
32:15She's VTAC.
32:18Charging to 200.
32:23Clear.
32:41Wait, I can, I can explain.
32:43Stay with your patient, get a beta block drip going and a full loading dose of amiodar on board and
32:47then you monitor her blood pressure.
32:48She's not out of the woods yet.
32:50Neither do you.
32:55Don't know.
32:55Dad, you okay in here?
32:56Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
33:00What you looking at?
33:01Well, I was trying to find that old mobile we hung over the crib with you and Danny.
33:07And I found this.
33:11Simon looks like him, doesn't he?
33:12You know, he does, a little.
33:15Except...
33:15The eyes, those are all Nora.
33:18Between you and me, I think he's got Nora's lungs, too.
33:24I know how happy you are, but I'm sure it's also really hard.
33:28For you, too, right?
33:32I guess Nora's kind of living in a pretty big shadow.
33:38I might have heard you arguing.
33:41We're just running on empty, that's all.
33:50Part of you still loves Mom, though.
33:54Don't you?
34:01Part of me always will.
34:10Guess I gave you quite the scare, I'll say.
34:14Your heart looks good now, though.
34:16Is this going to disqualify me from the trial?
34:19I spoke to Dr. Rodriguez, and he's agreed to keep you in, despite your latest setback.
34:29That is twice that you saved my life.
34:34I don't really know how to thank you.
34:39She's hemodynamically stable, and normal sign is for them.
34:43Good.
34:47If you're all set here, I'd like a word.
34:57Just make the most of it, yeah?
35:03So that's it?
35:04All's well that ends well?
35:05You don't understand.
35:06Those treatments were saving her life.
35:08You were lecturing me earlier about how I'm chief resident.
35:10Tell me, how do you expect someone in that position to keep quiet about this?
35:13Then go, report me to Joan.
35:15I'm not going to do that.
35:16And you know that, which is part of the problem.
35:18Because you still love me.
35:26I will never do that to you again.
35:45I asked you to stop this.
35:47I do remember that.
35:50Sorry.
35:53Okay, you don't look sorry.
35:55No.
35:58How do I look?
36:12You out of here?
36:13And not a second too soon.
36:15Before you fly the coop, Joan wants to see the whole department.
36:18She's calling in all hands at 7 p.m.?
36:20Mm-hmm.
36:21Damn, this woman is no joke.
36:23I'll help you with your stuff.
36:28You knew, didn't you?
36:30About Kevin.
36:33So, when I asked you why somebody would lie about their injury...
36:37Wasn't my story to tell.
36:39Well, for what it's worth.
36:42I don't think you have a hero complex.
36:44I think maybe.
36:46You're just a hero.
36:48I'll be damned.
36:50Sonia Matra has a soft side.
36:52Mm-hmm.
36:54Don't tell me you're sneaking out of here without saying goodbye.
36:57Nah, the new chief wouldn't allow that.
36:58But, hey, thanks for the nudge today.
37:01I'm glad I talked to Kevin.
37:02Yeah, well, I find, in my experience,
37:04the best way to get out of funk is to be of service to someone else.
37:07I don't know if I'd call it a funk.
37:10Please.
37:11What?
37:11What matters is Kevin's going to be okay.
37:14And I will, too.
37:15Happy to hear.
37:16Okay.
37:17Do you need a ride home tonight after the meeting?
37:20Headed that way.
37:21Thanks.
37:21Thanks, but my parents are coming to get me.
37:24Appreciate it, though.
37:25Yeah.
37:26Anytime.
37:31Florence Madingale never offered me a ride home.
37:52Whatever it is, you're strong enough to fight it, and I'm here.
38:00It's, um, it's, it's, it's MDS.
38:05So there's a good chance it'll turn into leukemia.
38:11Then we'll cross that bridge, okay?
38:14I'm sorry.
38:17I know it's not what you want to hear right now, but if it gets bad and you start to
38:23experience
38:23deficits, you, you can't perform surgery anymore.
38:31That's a hell of a bedside manner you've got there.
38:33I'm just saying that you can't operate if your hand's shaking.
38:39I would never do anything to jeopardize a patient, and I don't need you to tell me that.
38:46You want to see us?
38:49Yes.
38:51Uh.
38:56I wanted to talk about Claire Pinto's spontaneous ventricular tachycardia earlier today.
39:06She didn't tell you that either.
39:08Well, it's a rare complication of hepatitis.
39:10Very rare.
39:11More likely, it's an adverse reaction to an intrathecal shot, which happened to occur just
39:16hours after a courier signed in a package from Mexico to Claire.
39:20I think we all need to stop assuming the worst.
39:22Do you deny giving that woman the shot?
39:29Let me put this plainly.
39:32Your ex-husband is the CMO.
39:35Your boyfriend was your chief resident, and your best friend is your neurologist, which
39:39means you've been given too wide a birth.
39:42What you've accomplished since your accident is remarkable, but I've been reviewing your
39:46cases, and your behavior is concerning.
39:49You're reviewing my cases?
39:51Yes, of course.
39:52You know I have always taken pride in your success, but you took advantage of our friendship
39:57today.
39:58And let's be clear, kiddo.
40:00You're still auditioning.
40:04Now, if you'll join me in the IMO, I have a few announcements to make.
40:15Nosebleeds, naproxen, and IT injection from Mexico?
40:18Why am I hearing about that from Joan?
40:20It was a pretty busy day with patients.
40:22I was going to tell you.
40:24We need to slow down your treatments.
40:25No, Gina.
40:26No.
40:27It's working.
40:28I had two new memories today.
40:31I'm not saying we stop.
40:33But if we continue the TMS, we do it my way.
40:37Slow, steady, no secrets.
40:39We clear?
40:40Yeah.
40:40No.
40:44No.
40:57No.
41:00Bye.
41:02Bye.
41:13You ready to go down to dinner?
41:15I don't want to jinx it, but Simon says it looks pretty good.
41:18I'll be right there.
41:45Hey, I'm about to make your day.
41:49My dad's plans fell through tonight,
41:51so he can't use his floor-side tickets to the Timberwolves game.
41:57Um, that sounds great, but I've got Mia.
42:00Oh, I thought it was Rachel's turn.
42:07Never mind. Some other time.
42:09Yeah.
42:10Okay, I think we have a quorum. Let's get started.
42:14First, I want to thank you all for a great first day.
42:18From what I've seen so far, I can work with this.
42:21We have a talented group, and I'm excited to captain the ship.
42:25I know that there has been some disarray in this department
42:28and some issues with leadership, but make no mistake,
42:32I am here to make this the best hospital in the country.
42:36And that starts with making each of you better.
42:39With every patient, every day, we will be smarter,
42:43more efficient, leaner and meaner.
42:48In two months, there will be an official evaluation.
42:51Some of you will not survive it.
42:55If that scares you, good.
42:58It means you want this, and for the best of the best,
43:01fear is a motivator, not a deterrent.
43:04Now we will see who rises to the challenge and who doesn't.
43:10See you all tomorrow.
43:14See you all tomorrow.
43:22See you all tomorrow.
43:53See you all tomorrow.
