00:00Previously on Doc.
00:01We lost Danny.
00:02And I blamed you for it.
00:04You're pretty impressive out there.
00:06Reminded me of my ER rotation.
00:08I miss it.
00:08How'd it go?
00:09You didn't really say much in your text.
00:10I'll tell you when I see you.
00:11There will be an official evaluation.
00:14Some of you will not survive it.
00:15I should at least be considered for chief resident.
00:18I was wondering how you feel you're lining up against Dr. Larson.
00:20She's prepping another surgery.
00:22And she hasn't invited you to audit.
00:23We did the right thing.
00:24There's been concern about my health.
00:26Next week will be my last as your chief.
00:30What's going on?
00:31What is this?
00:31What does that even mean?
00:33It means you can't just show up here unannounced
00:35and pretend I'm the one being unreasonable.
00:37What are you doing here?
00:38I'm here for our daughter.
00:39You have a schedule, Carl.
00:41You can't just show up whenever you want.
00:43Haley said she was ready.
00:44You always do this.
00:46You're being insane right now.
00:47I'm being insane?
00:49You're not supposed to take her until 9.
00:51You're early.
00:52It's an hour, Jocelyn.
00:53It's my hour.
00:54Guys, come on.
00:56Where were you yesterday?
00:57Are you kidding me right now?
00:58I was working, Carl.
01:00Somebody has to work.
01:01Oh, God.
01:01You were such a...
01:02Oh.
01:03Oh, my God.
01:08Oh, my God.
01:08Oh, my God.
01:08It's right now.
01:09It's okay.
01:17I have transferred my surgical cases to my colleagues.
01:21Fellowships, rotations, and promotions will be finalized this afternoon.
01:26And the culling of the herd will be done judiciously and with grace.
01:30And you'll be naming chief resident?
01:32Normally below your pay grade.
01:33I understand Dr. Larson's in the running.
01:36Indeed.
01:38Oh, I don't even know what she's decided.
01:40Somehow I find that hard to believe.
01:42I'm assuming you'll start the search for my replacement immediately?
01:45We've already started a short list.
01:48Have several candidates coming in today.
01:49I'm sure you remember I have veto power over my successor.
01:53We remember that well, Joan.
01:55But that's not taking on too much.
01:57We're concerned about your health.
01:59I think I can make it through a day of paperwork and interviews.
02:05You're only on the right side?
02:07I had appendicitis when I was a teenager.
02:08I'm sure that's all this is.
02:10Why don't you just let the doctor figure it out?
02:12I'm just giving her some context.
02:14But thanks for that, Carl.
02:14Hi, I'm Dr. Heller.
02:15I'll be working with Dr. Larson today.
02:17Hi.
02:18Hey.
02:19This is Haley, 16.
02:20She's suffering from lower right abdominal pain.
02:23ER took blood and we're just waiting on the labs.
02:25In the meantime, we need to ask her some sensitive questions.
02:28So you two might want to step out.
02:30No, it's okay.
02:31We can stay.
02:33I need honest answers from you, Haley.
02:36Of course.
02:38Okay.
02:39Um, any drugs in the last 24 hours?
02:41No.
02:42Alcohol?
02:44Are you sexually active?
02:45I have a boyfriend, but no.
02:47Not in the way you're talking about.
02:49Okay, then.
02:50Soon as we get the labs back, someone will come and take you to radiology.
02:54Shouldn't be too long.
02:59So you shadowing me today?
03:01Yeah.
03:02I figured it might be the last time before you succeed me as chief president.
03:05Oh, you're gonna miss bossing me around, huh?
03:08Hey, so I heard Julie say something about you and Michael saving a couple in the woods.
03:12Yeah.
03:13It was intense.
03:15It...
03:15I was just a little surprised you didn't tell me about it.
03:17I know.
03:18I was so tired last night, but I'll fill you in later, okay?
03:21Yeah, yeah.
03:22Sure.
03:25Well, how was the night shift?
03:26Nothing dramatic.
03:28I didn't get much sleep.
03:29You headed home?
03:30Yeah.
03:30It's gonna be a glorious day of laundry and waiting for Dr. Ridley to name Amy chief resident.
03:37Stop that.
03:37Doesn't everyone wanna spend their day off preparing to have their soul crushed?
03:41If you were out of consideration, they would've told you already.
03:44And you're gonna hear about your surgical residency today?
03:47I think she has to talk to Dr. Costa first.
03:49Well, either way.
03:50We're gonna celebrate or commiserate.
03:52Absolutely.
03:53And I will let you know if I hear anything.
03:55Yeah.
03:55I'll talk to you later.
03:57Alright.
04:04Hey there.
04:06I am Dr. Coleman.
04:08Walter Babbitt.
04:09Nice to meet you.
04:10Oh, well, nice to meet you.
04:11You have a parent around?
04:13I live in a group home.
04:14Oh.
04:15One of your counselors then?
04:17He dropped me off, but he had to do something else for Mrs. Thompson.
04:22She's the one who runs to the home.
04:23Okay.
04:24Any idea if she's allowed to make medical decisions for you?
04:27No.
04:28That's usually my social worker.
04:29The one I had last time quit, and I don't even know who my new one is.
04:33I have rheumatoid arthritis.
04:35It's a chronic condition that flares up sometimes.
04:38I'm familiar.
04:39You have it too?
04:41Oh.
04:42You mean this?
04:42No, this, um, it was a stupid accident.
04:46Well, I really can't miss the fare.
04:48It's next week.
04:49Alright.
04:50What kind of fare is it?
04:51Science.
04:52I'm really into rockets, and I need to be able to walk.
04:56Hurts too much right now?
04:57It was even worse this morning.
04:58How long have you been here?
04:59Four hours.
05:01Four hours?
05:02And nobody's seen you?
05:04Hold on.
05:05I'll take care of it.
05:13We got your lab results back, and you were seven weeks pregnant.
05:18I know you said earlier that you weren't sexually active, so we just want to make sure that nobody's hurting
05:22you.
05:23No.
05:23No.
05:24Um, I'm sorry.
05:26I lied.
05:27They just don't know I'm having sex yet.
05:29It's understandable.
05:30That's why we wanted to get you in here, so you could have some privacy.
05:34But we still need to figure out what exactly is causing that pain, but since you're pregnant, we're gonna run
05:38an ultrasound instead of a CT scan.
05:40And don't worry, it won't hurt.
05:42Dr. Larson's just gonna run that wand over your belly, okay?
05:45Okay.
05:46And it's probably a good idea to include your parents in this.
05:50But in the state of Minnesota, discussing your sexual health is at your discretion, so you have the right to
05:56tell whoever you want, or tell no one, and we will support you.
06:01Okay, um, I just want to text my dad.
06:06Can I tell him what we're born?
06:07Yeah, it's Radiology 3, fourth floor.
06:14Okay, we've got an unusually busy day today.
06:17So, preliminary assignments, then circle back to me.
06:20Dr. Lee, 712, post-op Whipple.
06:22I want drain totals, hemoglobin trend, and a differential for why it dropped.
06:26Dr. Ramirez, 704, small bowel obstruction with rising lactate, full abdominal exam, repeat CBCs, and review the CT in real
06:36time.
06:36Dr. Haynes, 726, GI bleed.
06:40Two large-bore IVs, type and cross to four, start a proton pump inhibitor drip.
06:45Oh, and get GI to hold an endoscopy slot.
06:51Michael, I see your residents have been ordering head CTs on your migraine patients.
06:54I told you, I'm not doing that unless it's indicated clinically.
06:57The hospital's policy on headache management is clear.
06:59Clearly designed to maximize revenue, and until I get my day in court with admin, I'm not going along with
07:04it.
07:04I wish you luck with that.
07:05And just so you know, even if you replace me, you won't have the juice to do anything about it.
07:10Why do you think I'm moving into private practice?
07:17So you worked under Dr. Moynihan at UPMC?
07:19I did.
07:20He was a real mentor to me.
07:22Well, you certainly made quite the impression.
07:24That's not easy to do.
07:26I'd be interested to hear what you learned about leadership from him.
07:30He was great, but I learned that I do it differently.
07:33How so?
07:35I was on call one night in the ER. Mass casualty event, all hands on deck.
07:41And one of the interns freezes.
07:43My first thought was Moynihan would eviscerate this kid.
07:48But when I turned to do that, I heard a voice coming out of me that was calm and reassuring.
07:55Gave him clear instructions to get him reoriented.
07:58Next thing I know, he's coming out of it.
08:00That sounds like Dr. Hamda style.
08:04Well, thank you for coming in.
08:06Thanks for letting us take your time.
08:08My pleasure.
08:09Great meeting you.
08:10Likewise.
08:12Hmm.
08:12We've got plenty more, but I like him.
08:15I don't know.
08:16That story seemed a bit rehearsed.
08:19Oh.
08:19I found it to be sincere.
08:25Hey, buddy.
08:26This is Dr. Walker.
08:27She is awesome.
08:28And she's here to help you.
08:29Hi, Walter.
08:30What you got there?
08:31It's a slower system.
08:32Oh, yeah.
08:34That is Saturn, Jupiter.
08:36The asteroid belt?
08:37Asteroid belt's the best.
08:39You made all this?
08:40Mrs. Thompson gave me the stickers.
08:42That's his group home supervisor.
08:44So you take this everywhere you go?
08:46I know they're supposed to go on the wall, but I move around so much, so I put them on
08:50this, so I can take my sky with me.
08:52I wanted to be an astronaut when I was your age. I even went to space camp. And I met
08:56Mae Jemison.
08:58First black woman in space.
08:59First black woman in space.
08:59No way.
09:00You are full of surprises.
09:02Yeah, my dad got me into model rockets. We would make them, and then we would launch them in the
09:06front yard.
09:10I'm really sorry you're in pain, Walter. And as soon as we...
09:13Wait.
09:15Speak of the devil. It's your social worker. Just give me a sec.
09:19I've been calling you for hours, Cliff. We need your approval to give Walter his medication.
09:24So now you have it, okay? How is he?
09:25In pain, which is keeping him from walking, and he's really worried he'll miss the science fair.
09:31Science fair?
09:32He said it was next week.
09:33Oh no, that's an adoption fair. Foster kids mixed with prospective parents. Dog and pony show.
09:39Guess he was too embarrassed to admit that.
09:41All his medical issues. He's not a great candidate.
09:44Figures if he can walk, somebody might choose him.
09:47Well, I'm glad you're there with him, and you have my sign off.
09:50Okay. But this delay has already increased his risks of an escalation.
09:54I need to be able to get you promptly the next time a decision needs to be made.
09:58You know how this goes, Gina. I've got 40 other kids who require just as much as Walter.
10:02We're all pretty busy, Cliff. Just keep your ringer on.
10:09I'm so sorry that we were using protection. I don't know how...
10:12Sweetie, these things happen. I love you. It's gonna be okay.
10:14No, Brian's gonna be so free.
10:16Don't worry about Ryan, okay? We'll talk to him when you're ready.
10:20What am I gonna do?
10:21We'll figure it out together, okay? It's gonna be all right.
10:26Okay, Haley.
10:28So typically, it's a corpus luteum cyst, which is a cyst on your ovary.
10:32It can cause pain in early pregnancy.
10:36Dr. Heller?
10:38Yeah, I see it.
10:39Is it the cyst?
10:40The embryo is implanted in the fallopian tubes.
10:42It's what we call an ectopic pregnancy.
10:44What does that mean?
10:45It means it's not viable.
10:47So I'm not having a baby?
10:49No.
10:51Oh, my God.
10:53The situation is more serious now, Haley.
10:56Do you want us to bring in your mom?
10:58I don't want her to know.
10:59I have a responsibility to ask, is there an abusive situation going on with your mother?
11:04No.
11:04No.
11:05It's nothing like that.
11:06She's just very judgmental.
11:08It's not what Haley needs right now.
11:10Okay, so should we go over the options?
11:12Sure.
11:13I would recommend surgery.
11:14Without it, the embryo could rupture.
11:16But rupture usually occurs when the pregnancy is further along, and surgery does pose its own risks.
11:21So you don't agree?
11:24Um, I mean, look, there's no guarantees either way, but I do think that with medication, we can monitor for
11:30what Dr. Larson is concerned about.
11:31Well, then why didn't you suggest that?
11:33Because if it were my daughter, I would want it dealt with as quickly and expeditiously as possible.
11:37And our surgeons are excellent.
11:40It's not black or white.
11:41It's a serious decision, which is why I think it's a mistake not to give your mom a chance to
11:47have-
11:48Don't pressure her when you don't know our family.
11:52Could you give us a few minutes so we could discuss it?
11:54Yeah, yeah, of course.
12:01Oh, hi.
12:02Excuse me.
12:03What's going on with my daughter?
12:06Um, we're still getting some imaging and running some tests.
12:08Okay, this is starting to feel weird.
12:10Her father says he's going for coffee.
12:12Now I haven't heard from him for an hour.
12:13That's because he's in there with Haley.
12:16Excuse me?
12:16She only wants to talk to him and we have to respect that.
12:22He's turning her against me.
12:25And you're keeping me out of that room?
12:28What's wrong with her?
12:30Look, I'm- I'm sorry.
12:32And I know this is hard to hear, but legally we just can't disclose that right now.
12:35I can say that she's in good hands and her life is not in danger.
12:40Okay?
12:41We'll let you know more as soon as we can.
12:42I'm just- I'm just worried about her.
12:44She's my whole life.
12:46Dr. Larson?
12:50This is way beyond reproductive health now, Jake.
12:54No, it is not.
12:55This is a potentially life-threatening situation.
12:57It could rupture.
12:58She could die.
12:59And her mom wouldn't even know.
13:01Her condition started with sex, which means she retains those rights.
13:04Doesn't matter how you and me feel about it.
13:06End of story.
13:18So, um, I've been talking with Sanders about creating a pediatric cardiology unit at the hospital.
13:29Oh.
13:29When did that start?
13:31A couple months ago.
13:32I didn't think you'd want to engage unless it was real.
13:37Point is, it's something we'll be able to achieve.
13:40And it's gonna be amazing for the hospital.
13:43Help a lot of families.
13:44That's great, then.
13:45Yeah, it's also making me rethink some things.
13:48What things?
13:52I want to get an MBA.
13:54And go into hospital administration.
13:57You're in line to run clinical medicine at St. Paul's.
14:00I know, but there are so many things in the system that need to be confronted.
14:06And you're gonna change them?
14:08I can do my part.
14:11And so few administrators have the depth of medical experience I have.
14:15I think you're doubting yourself as a physician because of what happened at the museum.
14:23I can't believe you just said that.
14:27I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
14:30You are.
14:32In every way.
14:40This is not the guy.
14:42We haven't even met him.
14:43CV reads like an academic.
14:45Overemphasis on publishing, research.
14:48He's been awarded some highly coveted grants.
14:50Very little experience in management.
14:52Dealing with performance issues, staff conflicts.
14:55Questions we can ask him when we talk to him.
14:59Hey, Dr. Coleman.
15:01Sorry, I heard you wanted to see me.
15:03We're just about to conduct another interview.
15:05Do you mind coming back in an hour?
15:08Yeah, okay, sure.
15:09Just tell him.
15:11I know you want to roll out the red carpet, but look at him.
15:16You were awarded the surgical residency you wanted.
15:19Are you serious?
15:21I don't joke about surgery.
15:24Congratulations, TJ.
15:28I can't thank you enough, Dr. Ely.
15:30It has truly been an honor.
15:32Yeah.
15:33All right, yeah, get out of here.
15:34I gotta find the ass that's gonna sit in this chair.
15:37Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
15:45Hey.
15:46Guess you can't sleep.
15:47Be easier if you were here.
15:49Don't I wish.
15:50Please tell me you heard something.
15:53Not about the big jobs, but I got some good news.
15:58You're gonna be a surgeon.
15:59In like five years.
16:01Oh, my God.
16:01Oh, my God.
16:02How did she tell you?
16:04She just called me to her office.
16:06But before you panic, she has been in there all day with Dr. Hamda, interviewing people to succeed her.
16:11She squeezed me into like a 15-second slot, so I don't think she's getting to your gig until the
16:15end of the day.
16:15Well, whatever happens, we're gonna celebrate you tonight, and I'm not gonna think about Amy Larson for the rest of
16:21the day.
16:22Somehow I doubt that, but nice try.
16:31And?
16:33I don't know.
16:34It's kind of hard to watch this parade of pretenders to your throne.
16:37T'was a short reign, but a worthy one, I hope.
16:40Anyone you like yet?
16:410 for 4 thus far.
16:43I think he's getting finicky in his old age.
16:45I'm just trying to top Dr. Miller.
16:48Oh, please, just pick somebody I don't have a history with.
16:51No, I'm offended by that.
16:53Oh, well, I'll be a little bit more docile if you name me chief resident.
16:57Cocky.
16:58Keep me out of this.
17:01I'm being summoned.
17:06So, Haley and her father chose the medication route, but went ahead and moved them to a procedure room so
17:11we could avoid a confrontation with the mother.
17:14You're really going above and beyond.
17:15Just respecting our patients' wishes.
17:18Yeah, he keeps saying that.
17:21Okay, what's that supposed to mean?
17:23Would you do this to Rachel if you were in the same situation?
17:27Uh, if Mia asked me to, yeah.
17:29I guess you're really comfortable with secrets.
17:32Okay, come on, is that what this is about?
17:33I-I don't know.
17:34I was surprised at how quickly you took the father's position without even trying to mediate.
17:39Listen, fathers and daughters are capable of having this kind of bond, okay?
17:43I know that might be triggering for you, but we have to listen-
17:46That's a low blow.
17:48What is this?
17:48What's going on here?
17:49You tell me.
17:51I don't like when you try and play by your own rules, but you just expect everyone else to go
17:54along.
17:55Is that what I do?
17:56Sometimes, yeah.
17:58Good to know.
18:00Should we go see our patient in witness protection?
18:08Houston, we're approaching the moons of Mars.
18:11Phobos on my right.
18:14And Deimos on your left.
18:16Dr. Walker!
18:18Aw, you feeling any better with the medications?
18:21Not yet.
18:22Feeling a little short of breath.
18:23I'll increase the dose of your pain meds then.
18:26Meantime, I came by to give you this.
18:31A pocket?
18:31You have to put it together.
18:35I know you have other patients, but would you by any chance have time to help me assemble it?
18:41I'd like nothing more.
18:45Your oxygen levels are holding, I just need to take a blood sample to make sure there's no internal bleeding.
18:52Internal bleeding?
18:53I warned you earlier about a potential rupture.
18:57And?
18:59Levels are a little low.
19:01So that's bad?
19:02No, you're not bleeding, but we need to continue to monitor.
19:06This is the unpredictability aspect that I was concerned about.
19:17She keeps calling me.
19:19I know.
19:20I turned my phone off.
19:21You really think that's a fair way to handle this?
19:24Look, I don't know what else to do.
19:25I mean, you explained the situation to her.
19:27Sounds like she won't take no for an answer, which is part of her problem.
19:29Right.
19:29Well, imagine what it's like to be her and not know what's going on with her daughter.
19:34You're hiding my child from me?
19:36What procedure are you even doing?
19:38I'm sorry.
19:39Like we told you, I-
19:40This is insane.
19:41She's 16.
19:42She's my child.
19:43How can you do this?
19:44I'm pregnant.
19:45Okay?
19:46And it's stuck in my tube and they have to get it out.
19:49So, do you want to tell me how irresponsible I am now?
19:52I'm sorry.
19:53Mrs. Sato, I told you you're not permitted to be in here.
19:56Is that why you came early today?
19:58Because you were taking her to the doctor?
20:00Are you crazy?
20:01I didn't know until they told me.
20:02Neither did she.
20:04I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
20:10It's okay.
20:21It's like Russian roulette in that office.
20:23Wait, she talked to you yet?
20:24Said I'm a schmuck but too good a doctor to let go.
20:26It's one of the nicest things anybody's said about me.
20:29So, you're just hanging out watching the firing squad?
20:31Yeah.
20:32Oh, geez.
20:33Another one bites the dust.
20:34Oh, dang.
20:38Nice working with y'all.
20:42Oh, God.
20:44Liz.
20:48Sorry.
20:48Deep breaths.
20:48It's gonna be fine.
20:49You got this.
21:01Hi.
21:02Hi.
21:03You look terrified.
21:05I think everyone is.
21:07You're an excellent nurse, Liz.
21:09But you have a credibility problem.
21:12You don't know what I'm talking about?
21:14No.
21:15Not exactly.
21:17Remember that incident with the faulty dose of lorazepam that Dr. Larson supposedly prescribed?
21:22Oh, I've been through that with Dr. Hamda.
21:25Everyone knows that Hannah was manipulating me.
21:27Right.
21:28But it took some time for people to believe that because you lied for Dr. Miller when he tried to
21:34cover up the death of Bill Dixon.
21:36I don't need to remind you the impact of that lie.
21:39But that was...
21:40Not that long ago, Liz.
21:41And people will always remember it.
21:44That's the thing about your reputation.
21:45You only have one.
21:47And once you lose it, it's almost impossible to get it back.
21:53I understand.
21:54The question is, does it bother you?
21:57Yeah.
21:58Of course it bothers me.
22:00And yet he's still here.
22:01A daily reminder of the damage he did to you.
22:04The hospital brought him back.
22:06Knowing everything.
22:08What can I do at this point?
22:11Find your voice.
22:1716 years here.
22:18You're trying to make her hate me.
22:20It's that look on your face.
22:20You're always mad.
22:21Always disappointed.
22:22And she knows I'll leave her alone.
22:24Yeah, you leave her alone.
22:25You've left her alone so much that she's pregnant.
22:27Right.
22:27Of course you blame it all on me.
22:29She is having an adverse reaction to the methotrexate.
22:32She's a renal failure.
22:33Put her on dialysis.
22:34It's not going to be that simple.
22:36I'm seeing some hemodynamic instability from the pregnancy.
22:40So what do you want to do?
22:41Let's see all her team up.
22:42I'm vasopressors.
22:43You're not concerned about cardiovascular collapse?
22:47Yeah, yeah, of course I am.
22:48But, um, surgery's a higher risk now.
22:50Well, that was exactly my point to begin with.
22:53I will go tell the parents.
22:55Yeah.
22:59Haley's reacting negatively to the drugs.
23:02So we are going to have to put her on a new course of treatment.
23:05Okay, is there some decision that needs to be made?
23:07Not anymore.
23:08That was this morning.
23:23Oh.
23:25Sonia, thanks for coming in.
23:27I know.
23:27You were on call last night.
23:28Oh, no.
23:29I'm glad I'll have a chance to say goodbye and to thank you.
23:33For what?
23:34For mentoring me and even considering me for chief resident.
23:38For the record, um, I understand why you brought your concerns about my health to Dr. Heller.
23:44You risked a great deal doing that.
23:47Most people would have looked the other way.
23:48Well, I appreciate you saying that.
23:50In any event, I wanted to give you one last chance to make your case for the coveted post.
24:02Well, I think I'm a very good doctor.
24:04I have compassion for my patients.
24:07I work well with my colleagues.
24:09I learn from my mistakes, and I think I can be a great teacher.
24:14And in terms of you and Dr. Larson?
24:18I read the transcript of your interrogation during that internal review about Dr. Clark.
24:23Yes.
24:24You could have put your foot on Amy's neck that day.
24:27Matter of fact, you lied to protect her.
24:30Let's say I had my reasons.
24:32You respect her?
24:33Everyone does.
24:34And if you were sitting in my chair, who would you choose?
24:36Well, that's kind of a trick question, right?
24:40To build my case, I'd have to disparage her.
24:43Which you fear is dangerous because of our long relationship?
24:48If I've earned it on my own merits, it'll be mine.
24:51If not, I'm sure she'd make an excellent chief resident,
24:55and you'll make the best decision for the department.
25:01Our last patient took so long.
25:03How are we doing?
25:04I'm good.
25:06You finished it without me.
25:10Should I launch it now?
25:13You need to get your breathing under control first.
25:16How long has this been going on for?
25:18Maybe 20 minutes?
25:20Why don't you call someone?
25:22You got that buzzer there, you know that, right?
25:25I figured they got machines.
25:26I could just see what's going on.
25:28Why don't you hit that button now?
25:32Okay, take a deep breath for me.
25:36Yours.
25:38Sharp or dull pain?
25:40I would say sharp.
25:43Okay, take a really deep breath for me now.
25:45Here's more.
25:47Okay, believe it or not, that's good news.
25:49It means the fluids around your lungs and not in your lungs.
25:53Plural effusion we need to tap.
25:57Just gonna put a little oxygen mask on you, okay?
26:03It's Cliff, leave a message.
26:05Cliff, it's Gina.
26:06Walter's in distress and we need your sign off again.
26:09Call me back, please.
26:11Now.
26:12God knows when we'll hear back.
26:14We can't afford to wait.
26:15Get it set up.
26:16I'll take the responsibility.
26:23It's my understanding that you were in the running to become Chief of Internal Medicine at St. Paul six years
26:28ago.
26:28I was.
26:29Then had a change of heart.
26:31So, an MBA, then Chief Administrator at Regency Clinic, two years VP of Clinical Medicine at Grace River.
26:37They were headed for bankruptcy.
26:39He turned that place around.
26:41Well, the thing I'm most proud of is our patient satisfaction scores.
26:44The open access outpatient system had a lot to do with that.
26:48Most institutions resist that.
26:50How'd you get it past their board?
26:52Passion.
26:53And persistence.
26:54And you still kept your hand in clinical practice.
26:57I'm in the clinic at least once a week.
26:59I'm a better administrator if I stay connected to the medicine and our staff.
27:03Admirable.
27:04But you realize that we're too big a hospital to accommodate that.
27:07I do.
27:08And I'll miss it.
27:09But, um, it would be worth it to have the kind of impact I'm looking for.
27:14Thank you so much for coming in.
27:16Thank you, Dr. Ridley.
27:25Okay.
27:26What's wrong with this one?
27:27Nothing.
27:28He's great.
27:29Come on.
27:30Michael, this is starting to feel like Goldilocks.
27:32What is it?
27:33Spit it out.
27:34You're gonna think I'm crazy.
27:35Crazy is probably the last word anyone would use to describe you.
27:39I think maybe I'm the best person for that chair.
27:50You?
27:51Yes.
27:56So you saved those two people in the woods and got a taste of the action again?
28:01I miss getting my hands dirty and the camaraderie with the other doctors and everything I went to med school
28:08for in the first place.
28:09And, oh, boy, wouldn't it be nice to get away from Max and those insipid suits?
28:13Definitely.
28:14Plus, you'd be even closer to Amy.
28:16That has nothing to do with it.
28:17No.
28:17I love her, but she's not taking me back anytime soon.
28:22So, no, that's not a bonus.
28:23It's probably a downside.
28:26Okay.
28:28Now, tell me why you think it'd be good for the department.
28:31Well, for starters, I'm an excellent doctor.
28:33Who hasn't practiced in a year.
28:34Ten months.
28:35And I've maintained my board certification, so rust would not be a factor.
28:38And no one who could sit in that seat would have my administrative experience and leadership skills.
28:43And you left out that you could hit the ground running because you know all the players and helped stabilize
28:46a department that's had a lot of turbulence.
28:48Well, it sounds like you could support this.
28:51Only one thing.
28:52You started this by saying you think you could be the best person for the job.
28:55If you're gonna walk into Max's office with my endorsement, you better know you are.
29:02Okay, Walter.
29:03So, Dr. Coleman's gonna stick that needle into the space between your chest and your lung to relieve the pressure
29:09there.
29:09Now, you should be numb from the medication we gave you, but if you feel any pressure or more out
29:15of breath, then you just let us know.
29:17All right?
29:18All right.
29:19Okay.
29:28Do that hurt?
29:29No.
29:30Good.
29:31That's because you're numb, like I said, so just try to relax, all right?
29:47what does it look like milk is that okay
29:53the counselor you sent him with left him alone in the er said he had something else to do
29:58well he thought that the social worker was going to be there any minute and we have eight kids
30:02with the flu so he hustled back well the social worker didn't come and was never even called and
30:06i reprimanded him but he's got a ged and he's getting paid 12 bucks an hour and you know what
30:11i'm lucky to have him he's one of the best people on my staff i just looked at his medical
30:15file going
30:16all the way back delayed decisions on his care have been hurting him a long time you don't have
30:21to tell me the system's broken he seems like such a great kid oh he's exceptional i mean we had
30:29his
30:29iq tested he was over 130. kind never complains so much to give to the world and he's fallen through
30:38the cracks
30:46battles are stable it looks like this is starting to work
30:50starting it'll be a couple more hours until we've cleared the toxins and we can see for sure that
30:56your kidney functions normalizing and what if it's not then we'll figure it out obviously this isn't
31:02how any of us wanted it and i know you've had a very difficult day i wish i just told
31:10my mom from
31:10the beginning you know my daughter was closer to her father for a long time and i brought that on
31:18myself but the thing that i am grateful for is that she she let me know why and she gave
31:26me a chance to
31:27fix it you don't know my mother no but hospitals have a way of humbling people and i'm pretty sure
31:35your message to her was loud and clear so maybe this is a place to start
31:45i don't know how it all got to this i think that winning became the most important thing
31:52instead of what was best for hayley
31:55it's not as simple as that come on man you can't tell me a party you wasn't feeling pretty good
31:59about
31:59being the chosen parent today look i get it i'm a divorced dad i know what things can be
32:04then why didn't you push the way dr lyson did
32:07i mean i wouldn't want some doctor who barely knows my daughter doing that
32:11but listen i do think that for hayley's sake you gotta try and repair things with your ex
32:17look man you're gonna have birthdays and graduations and weddings hopefully some grandkids and
32:24you kind of need to coexist maybe even find a way to share some of the joy
32:30hey did i miss something i was in the restroom
32:34she is turning a corner but she's still gonna need a lot of support thank you
32:55i've been offered the cmo job here yes i work here this this is mine they pursued me and this
33:03is a huge opportunity there are a hundred other jobs michael not in minneapolis only other openings
33:09at this level are in st louis new york and rhode island and i'm not missing katie's senior year or
33:15moving her to one of those places what about the conflict of interest there is no conflict of
33:19interest i'm gonna be your boss ready to crown a winner
33:29the candidates are all impressive um speaking with them solidified my opinion of what and who
33:38is needed okay i know how much you want to replace me but i have three years left on my
33:45contract
33:46contract so let me run internal medicine
33:52are you kidding me you get to fill my position with someone who's more of a yes man i think
33:57that's
33:57what you want and you're willing to take the pay cut money's not the primary factor for me
34:01but i do need jones contract terms no the ones you gave away to someone who should never have had
34:07the
34:07job i've been here long enough to know where a lot of bodies are buried i have a similar map
34:12let's go to our separate corners you raise money and worry about the hospital's image i'll
34:19go save patients and train great doctors in a culture people can believe it back to your roots
34:24huh i guess you could say that
34:44i know you have some pretty strong feelings about me i just wanted to tell you how much i've always
34:50respected you and i'm very sorry you're leaving especially under these circumstances
34:57you're right i do have strong feelings about you
35:13i need you to say dr larson prescribed the wrong medication
35:30am i okay you're stabilized but we still need to do a few more tests
35:34so i'm not gonna make it to the science here i really want to bring my rocket
35:40i'm really sorry walter but you're gonna need at least a few days to recover
35:45but i really need to get there i know you feel like you do but there will be other chances
35:52and mrs thompson came by and left some of your clothes for you
35:57wanted you to know how much everyone misses you
36:02when i had to make the decision about my treatment
36:05because you couldn't find anyone else to do it
36:08that's okay i'm a doctor but you could have gotten in trouble right
36:13well i wasn't gonna let you suffer anymore
36:18so how does next time if i don't get as nice a doctor
36:22i don't know walter but we'll figure it out
36:39i'm glad to see you there in a better place
36:42i didn't like how that went today
36:46yeah yeah no me neither
36:50we both said things
36:52you've been different since you came back from chicago
36:56you've changed since this whole thing with rachel
37:00seriously
37:02are you saying you haven't
37:04i think when you need time to work out things with michael
37:07i just i accept it but when the shoe's on the other foot
37:10when the shoe's on the other foot you have a hard time telling me the truth
37:14and then you expect me to accept that
37:22i think we might need some space tonight
37:24yeah we do
37:38so you're really going for this suspense thing huh
37:42first order of business is my successor
37:45you found someone already it's going to be michael
37:50i know the whole thing in the woods really galvanized him but
37:54i wasn't expecting this
37:57it's a lot more than the woods and i think it'll be stabilizing for the department
38:02yeah
38:04yeah he's amazing i mean when i when i came out of my accident i was surprised that he'd given
38:10it up in the first place
38:11he rediscovered his calling
38:13okay well maybe it'll be fun having two chiefs in the family
38:19uh i wouldn't i wouldn't jump the gun there kiddo
38:23what are you talking about
38:24i'm
38:26i'm concerned
38:27that you grabbed for the chief residency because you hate being an intern and it's the next highest rung on
38:33the ladder
38:33so you'd give it
38:34to somebody not as good as me
38:36no i'd give it to someone who understands the immensity of the responsibility
38:40i understand the responsibility
38:42so you want to teach
38:44and mentor and train
38:45and tolerate people of inferior intelligence and acumen
38:49i don't think of them that way
38:51no
38:57i think you might actually be good at it i saw glimpses of it with tj and hannah from time
39:02to time but
39:03it can't just be people you're fond of
39:05oh i wasn't that fond of hannah
39:07don't be clever amy
39:11this is an inflection point so i need you to hear me
39:15you've been focused on what you think you need whether it's michael or jake or being a good doctor or
39:20finding your memories
39:21i got news for you
39:22most people are a complete mystery to themselves even when they have all their memories
39:33why did you become a doctor
39:34to help people
39:36of course
39:38but also
39:40also to validate your sense of worth in the world
39:43and i know how those two things can get tangled up
39:46i just did that to myself
39:49so no i say this with humility
39:51it is time for you to put your own needs to the side
39:55to use your greatness
39:56to pull the greatness out of others
39:58including sonia
39:59i don't understand
40:03i i looked back at the hiring notes on her and you were the one that fought for you said
40:13she has grit and resilience and she got back up every time you knocked her down now that's the kind
40:19of gal i want leading the next generation
40:22great and apparently you did too
40:24how am i supposed to teach her if i'm two rungs below her
40:28you won't be because you'll be doing it together
40:29co-chiefs
40:31it'll make you better
40:33in all the ways that really matter
40:34because the question is
40:36what are you going to do with the rest of your life
40:40self-development
40:41self-fulfillment
40:42or service to others
40:47but i won't push it forward
40:50unless you tell me you can see the wisdom in it
