00:00I had a car accident.
00:02Lost a lot of my memory.
00:03Previously on Doc.
00:05You have Sonia in line for chief resident.
00:08And I run circles around her.
00:09You will each have your own cases and you'll critique each other's work.
00:13And you certainly can't maintain a high-stress job.
00:16Are you okay?
00:17She has an autoimmune disease and she's hiding it.
00:19You weaponized my memory loss.
00:21I'm so sorry.
00:22He turned down the Dixon settlement and demanded his job back.
00:26I suggest find a way to work with him because he starts tomorrow.
00:31Jessica, come help get ready for dinner.
00:34The food's not even here yet.
00:35What the hell is taking so long?
00:37Hey, we don't speak that way in this house.
00:39Um, mom totally does.
00:41Where do you think I learned it?
00:43I'm giving this guy two stars if he doesn't get here in the next 30 seconds.
00:46Someday you'll have to get a job, so be nice.
00:49You get that I might seriously die of starvation, right?
00:52The theatrics, he gets from you.
00:55Finally, he's here.
00:56He's rolling up.
01:00I'm very sorry.
01:01I'm late.
01:01I'm very, very sorry.
01:07You all right there, pal?
01:09I'm okay.
01:10And the food is still warm.
01:12Please, I still need five stars.
01:15I think you might need a doctor.
01:17I already accepted another order.
01:19But thank you.
01:20Are you sure?
01:20Because you don't look too good.
01:22Oh, she's okay.
01:22Listen, I think we need to call you an ambulance, okay?
01:25I'm fighting.
01:26Call an ambulance!
01:27But I have another order.
01:29And I need my bike.
01:30It's a lot.
01:31Hey, I'll get your bike.
01:32Okay, you need help.
01:51Hey.
01:53Once more, onto the breach.
01:56Just show the people who you really are.
02:00I'll come back to you.
02:28I'll come back to you.
02:36Have fun.
02:40Richard.
02:43You sent all those texts after you left.
02:47How sorry you were.
02:49How everything you did was out of desperation.
02:51How much you wanted to make it up to me if I ever gave you the chance.
02:57And then you walked in here and sold me out to get your job back.
03:06You never answered any of those texts.
03:09One mistake and I am taking you down.
03:25Whoa, what is he doing here?
03:27Don't you read your emails?
03:28No.
03:29I almost brought popcorn.
03:35He's back.
03:38Dr. Miller.
03:40Good morning.
03:41I hope you aren't too discouraged.
03:42There was no welcoming parade or balloons.
03:47I deserve that
03:48That's gracious of you to acknowledge as much
03:51Never thought I'd see you sitting in that chair
03:54Or sitting anywhere, really
03:56Even the restless spirit occasionally earns for tranquil waters
04:00What's the occasion?
04:01You failed so spectacularly, they offered me the moon
04:06I made mistakes
04:07I'm hoping for the chance to make up for them
04:09Actually, you leveraged an incredibly painful situation to your advantage
04:13So you'll forgive me if the humility rings a little false
04:17But feel free to try it on with the rest of the staff
04:20See if it plays
04:22I've signed all the paperwork with HR
04:26May I see patients?
04:27Your assignments are at the nurse's station
04:30Thank you
04:34You went into her desk?
04:35We had no other choice
04:36And if she needs to keep syringes in her drawer
04:38That tells you how acute her condition must be
04:40Okay, but hang on
04:41She did an absolutely brilliant job with Dante and with Charlie
04:44The hand trimmer was right after the surgery with Charlie
04:46And it was bad
04:51I thought Richard coming back was going to be the top story today
04:54She's putting patients at risk, Jake
04:59All right, yeah, I'll talk to her
05:01Before she performs another surgery
05:03Yes, Sonia
05:06You did the right thing bringing this to me
05:07Now just get on with your days and keep this to yourselves
05:10All right
05:16Don't let one doctor's careless mistake ruin your life
05:20If you suspect you've been the victim of malpractice
05:22One click for your MD fix
05:25Oh my god
05:27And Amy pulled him?
05:29No, you can relax
05:30I requested you
05:31Because I'm the only one here who doesn't hate you?
05:34Because you're the best
05:35Even with the head injury
05:36So I'm told
05:37So you and I never had any run-ins
05:39I tried, but you always kept it tight
05:41Morning
05:43Looks like we're together today
05:44Sounds like a migraine pattern
05:46Yeah, but it's unusual for it to present so late in life
05:49Maybe just to wait for my guilty conscience
05:51Uh-oh, looks like we got a hater
05:53Well, he's not wrong
05:55Your job is pretty stressful
05:57I keep a pretty good lid on it
05:59I spend a week every quarter
06:01My time sharing the keys
06:02My daily regimen of CBD gummies
06:04And I soak at the naturopathic spa next door
06:07It keeps me humming
06:09Okay, well, we are going to treat the symptoms of your headache
06:12And I'm going to order a CT and an MRI
06:15Just to be sure
06:18One click for your MD fix
06:24No, he said he'll be there
06:26He works from home
06:28Call the number he gave you and he'll give it to you
06:31Everything okay?
06:32It's my cousin
06:33He's looking for my e-bike
06:34I had to leave here when the ambulance came
06:36It was pretty cold to be out riding last night
06:38I deliver food
06:39It's how I make money
06:41If I don't have that bike
06:42I have nothing
06:44Dr. Miller?
06:46Looks like we're up
06:46Okay
06:49Your blood test indicates you have chronic kidney failure
06:53This ultrasound will help us figure out the problem
06:55And we'll go from there
06:56Okay?
06:57Okay
07:03How often do you urinate on an average day?
07:05I, uh, try not to
07:07Uh, what do you mean?
07:09I don't understand
07:10Most restaurants won't let us use their bathrooms
07:13Even though we're making half their business
07:14I have to go out of my way to find one
07:17And that means money out of my pocket
07:18So you don't drink anything while you're working?
07:21Not water?
07:22Nothing?
07:23I drink a little
07:23But I try not to take any breaks
07:25Howdy got a public donation ticket for $500
07:29So now I do not risk it
07:30I understand that, but
07:31But I barely make enough to live here as it is
07:34And everything else I send to my country
07:36To bring over my family
07:39My, uh, wife and son
07:42Beautiful
07:43I'm a father too
07:44So I understand what we have to do for our families
07:47But something has to change
07:48You are dehydrating your body
07:51And the urine you are making is pooling in your kidneys
07:53Because you're not relieving yourself
07:55So we're going to need to
07:58Did you get it?
08:01Okay, good, good
08:02Uh, bring it here
08:04No, I need it tonight, Amu
08:06Abe
08:06Then have my heart, bring it
08:07Abe
08:09Oh, hold on
08:10Forget about your bike for a second
08:11You are very sick
08:13And if you continue this way
08:15You're going to kill yourself
08:22Um, uh, Matt Damon's last friend
08:25He just played Batman
08:26Uh, Ben Affleck
08:27Yep
08:28Yeah
08:31Oh, Michael
08:32Oh my God, this could only be you
08:33Okay
08:33It's Danny's favorite cartoon character
08:36Uh, they're always looking around
08:38There's a
08:39Oh, uh, uh, Dora the Explorer
08:40Yes
08:42Time, time, time
08:44Nice
08:46Nice
08:47Dora the Explorer
08:48Is not a celebrity
08:49No one more famous in our house
08:50How many was that?
08:52Was it nine?
08:53I counted eight
08:53Nine
08:54Nine
08:56Ouch, kill us
08:59Uh-oh, hospital
09:01I feel like there's some kind of telepathy going on over there
09:04We never should have put the two most competitive people on a team together
09:06We're not winning by that much
09:08Oh
09:08Yeah, we're winning by a lot, actually
09:11Sorry to host and run, but I gotta head in
09:14Mooney's got pleuritic pain and shortness of breath
09:16He's my patient, I'll go
09:18No, no, no
09:18You did a double yesterday and I'm on call
09:20What, are you running for office?
09:21Just an incredibly generous guy
09:23Mm-hmm
09:23I'll update you once I'm there
09:25Well, now maybe the rest of us have a chance
09:27Fine word
09:28New teams
09:29New teams
09:29New teams
09:30Oh, Betty
09:33Did you forget that we had one of our sessions scheduled?
09:38Morning's just getting away from me
09:39Nora's mom was going to take Simon today, but she's under the weather, so we won't be alone
09:44I can forgive the intrusion as long as you hand me this handsome little man right this instant
09:50Hey there, you sweet thing
09:53I assume Amy told you about the big revelation
09:59About Nora?
10:01Of course
10:02You're not ready to string me up?
10:04Come on, Michael
10:05I know what life was like in that house
10:06Explains it
10:07Doesn't excuse it
10:12And how are things with Nora now?
10:14Over
10:16Is that what you want?
10:19From the moment Amy looked at me after her accident, I think it was inevitable
10:27I'm sorry
10:29Yeah
10:32And now she's with Jake
10:35Isn't she?
10:36Well, Joan's forbidden it
10:37Come on
10:38I saw them at the funeral
10:43You know, Wendy's out of town
10:45I'm free for dinner
10:46Maybe after you give this little guy back to his mama
10:51Yeah
10:52Yeah, that'd be great
10:56I thought the pain meds were supposed to kick in right now
10:59His head's pounding and he's burning up
11:00I'm thinking it's a raging infection
11:02We should start septroaxone and vancomycin
11:04After a spinal tap
11:05A spinal tap?
11:06I'm concerned that you may have bacterial meningitis
11:09Yeah, but a tap could go seriously wrong
11:11Anything could go seriously wrong
11:13Look, we don't have to be so thorough
11:16For sure
11:17We could be more risk averse
11:18If we make you feel more comfortable
11:19Okay, I see your point
11:22All right, do the tap
11:29Sonia
11:33What do you want, Dr. Miller?
11:36A fair shot at doing my job?
11:39With some measure of collegiality?
11:44Look, I know it must be brutal
11:47Walking back in here
11:48But you are radioactive
11:50And I have ambitions of my own
11:52So, if you wouldn't mind
11:59Right, and that was when?
12:02Okay
12:06Yes, I need to be on that
12:09And give me a text
12:13Hey, I might need to schedule a patient for surgery later
12:16I was wondering if Dr. Ridley was available
12:20She's not on the board
12:21You want to book her or ask her?
12:24Um, no, no
12:25I can do it if it comes to that
12:26Can you just let me know if anything changes?
12:38I was wondering how you feel you're lining up against Dr. Larson
12:42In terms of the chief resident position?
12:44No, in terms of your taste in lingerie
12:46Right, sorry
12:47I had to leave early the day you were going to evaluate each other
12:50Yeah, um, honestly
12:52Oh, whenever anybody says honestly
12:54It makes me wonder if they haven't been honest before
12:59We both did very well that day
13:02And it's always difficult judging an apple versus an orange
13:06And subsequently?
13:08Well, you've been out
13:09At conferences
13:10Right
13:13So I wasn't aware you wanted us to continue evaluating each other's work
13:16Oh, I thought that was understood
13:18I guess I'll have to talk to Dr. Larson as well
13:20I'm willing to do whatever it takes
13:22Well, that should go without saying
13:24In the meantime, I see you still haven't completed all your vascular access for ultrafiltration procedures
13:30Not yet, no, I haven't had the opportunity
13:32Well, it's going to be a busy day for you then
13:34Dr. Miller will oversee
13:39We can't always like everyone we work with
13:41Thanks
13:57All hail the chief
14:02You spoken to him yet?
14:04We had words this morning
14:06Don't plan to make it a habit
14:08I snubbed him
14:11I appreciate your loyalty
14:12But he is an attending and you're a resident
14:15You're still going to have to work under him
14:16So no short-sheeting the beds next time he's on call?
14:19The tube runs from the patient's vascular access point and connects to the pump here
14:26Okay, got it
14:28This is a pump without valves
14:31Exactly, yes
14:33I studied chemical engineering in my country
14:35We use something similar to handle chemicals like this
14:38And let me guess
14:39Your engineering degree isn't valid here
14:42I had an okay life when I was by myself
14:45But now that I have a son
14:47I want him to have a future
14:49More than me
14:50You don't appreciate what you have in this country
14:53I'm sure that's true
14:54But if you want to take care of your family
14:56You need to be healthy
14:57You ready?
14:58Yeah
14:59Okay
15:04The local anesthetic should have taken effect by now
15:06Can you feel it if I pinch you here?
15:10No, it's numb
15:11Okay
15:11I'm going to insert the needle into your vein now
15:14Okay
15:26What's happening?
15:28I think we may have a complication
15:30Just try and stay calm, okay?
15:32O2 sets are dropping
15:33Lung collapsed
15:34We need a chest tube set up
15:37Babe, it's going to be okay
15:39We're going to fix this
15:45All right
15:47And how would you rate your pain level on a scale from 1 to 10?
15:52Oh, probably 6
15:53Okay
15:54There's nothing compared to what Sylvia's been going through
15:57I'm sorry, who's Sylvia?
15:58Oh, that's my wife
15:59She's at home with the shingles
16:03Dr. Larson
16:04Mr. Mooney, good to see you
16:07You can't play celebrity with five people
16:10O2 sets and blood pressure dropping
16:12I just ordered a CT angio
16:13Yeah, absolutely
16:16We've got to get you home to Sylvia
16:18Ray, can you get him to radiology?
16:20Yeah, of course
16:23Somehow I knew you were going to come in
16:25Oh, I wouldn't have been able to sleep anyway
16:27You may want to take a look at that
16:29You think I care too much?
16:30I'm not sure that's a thing
16:32But maybe too hard on yourself
16:33That's my fuel, baby
16:35As long as you don't blow yourself up
16:43It's okay
16:44You've got us
16:56Okay, I know you're scared
16:57But we're going to take care of this
16:59Now I'm going to count to three
17:00And I want you to give me a deep breath
17:02Okay?
17:04One
17:05Two
17:07Three
17:09You barely moved my neck now
17:10I thought you were supposed to be doing something
17:12We are
17:12What we're doing just is not working yet
17:14You probably get off seeing me like this
17:16No, we don't, Donnie
17:17We want to make sick people better
17:19Even people who are hostile to us
17:21Okay, well, did you get the results of my spinal tap yet?
17:24Yes, it's clean
17:25Which rules out bacterial, viral, and parasitic meningitis
17:28Okay, so now what?
17:30My best guess is autoimmune meningitis
17:32What do you mean best guess?
17:34After all your years trying malpractice cases
17:36You must know that medicine is more probability and instinct than widgets
17:40Okay, so let's say this is what I have
17:43How do you treat it?
17:44It's autoimmune, which means
17:45A heavy dose of steroids
17:46That's right
17:47But we're going to need your permission to proceed with that course of action
17:50Well, what are the downsides?
17:54Could raise your blood pressure
17:55Heart palpitations are quite possible
17:58Hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, less likely, but have been reported
18:00Swelling in the hands and feet
18:02Weight gain, mood alterations are all on the docket
18:04And in rare cases, seizures and psychosis
18:07So it's up to you if you want to risk it
18:09This can't really be your bedside manner
18:11Oh, we think it's important to give you all the information
18:14Psychosis is pretty rare
18:16Okay, give me the steroids
18:17I'll go get them
18:22I thought I had a private room
18:23Your PPO only gets you a two-banger
18:25We spend a lot on malpractice insurance
18:27It just bumps the rates up on everything
18:33Okay
18:35Easy, I'll see here
18:37Leaking aneurysm in his kidneys
18:39Probably his renal artery
18:41Damaged from urine backup
18:42Is this because of what happened before?
18:44No, no, it has nothing to do with that
18:46Hey, what happened before?
18:48Call Dr. Ridley
18:49Tell her to prep the OR
18:53What are you waiting for?
18:54Call her
18:57Okay
18:58Easy, doesn't it?
19:09Oh, hey
19:09Hey
19:10Do you have a second?
19:11Yeah, I just got called into emergency surgery
19:13So make it quick
19:14Yeah, it's about that actually
19:16So I already talked to Swanson
19:17Mm-hmm
19:17To see if he was available
19:18To take it instead
19:21You mind telling me why?
19:23Um
19:26Yeah, so
19:27I'm afraid that you might be sick
19:32And what would possibly make you say that?
19:35People have seen some troubling things
19:37What people?
19:38What things?
19:38It's not important
19:39Well, it might be to me
19:40If my chief resident
19:41Is going to throw around
19:42These kinds of accusations
19:44Not an accusation
19:45Just a concern
19:47You think I would be
19:48A danger to my patients
19:50After what you have seen
19:51From me recently
19:53I'm sorry
19:54But I think
19:55That if you were in my shoes
19:56You'd be taking the same precautions
20:03Well, I happen to have
20:04A full plate today anyway
20:05So if Swanson wants it
20:07He can be my guest
20:07Okay
20:08Thank you
20:10Mm-hmm
20:18Oh, no
20:20Pulmonary embolism
20:21I don't think he can survive
20:23A thrombectomy
20:26You disagree?
20:27What would you do?
20:28Bomb him with heparin?
20:30And serial ultrasounds to monitor
20:32If the clot hasn't resolved in 12 hours
20:35We reassess
20:38I'd probably be more aggressive than that
20:41But it's a coin toss
20:43It's your call
20:46Finally starting to feel like my old self again
20:48Dr. Larson has pretty good instincts
20:51You are responding well to the steroids
20:53Your inflammation's down
20:54And your temperature's leveling up
20:56Oh
20:57Hey
20:58Too bad things didn't work out so well for my roommate
21:00Can you just stick to being a patient for 10 minutes?
21:02I don't know, man
21:03He said something was wrong
21:04And then those docs
21:05They got all squirrely about it
21:07Uh, Dr. Coleman
21:11What, are you guys going into cover-up mode?
21:13It's not nice to keep secrets
21:23This has nothing to do with the collapse loan
21:27And everyone's bungled a central line
21:29Everyone
21:30I know that
21:30Okay, then stop blaming yourself
21:37You weren't there a few weeks ago
21:39I was sharing a patient with Amy
21:43We fought about what to do
21:46She was right
21:47And I refused to listen
21:51It killed him
21:55He was 17
21:58Well, she's not always right
22:02And when we make a mistake
22:05There's only one thing we can do
22:07Lie about it and cover it up
22:14Get back on the horse
22:18Fight another day
22:20Your patient's cousin's outside
22:21We'll also talk to you
22:26What's happening?
22:28Will Abe be okay?
22:29He's in the operating room now
22:30Surgeons are fixing an aneurysm in one of the arteries that feeds blood to his kidneys
22:35Dr. Mitra
22:40I checked your patient's chart
22:42You collapsed his lung
22:44Placing his ultrafiltration access
22:45So, Dr. Ridley got to you
22:47What?
22:48What are you talking about?
22:49We're in a steel cage death match for chief resident
22:51Now you're looking at my patient's files
22:52No, I'm here because my patient is a malpractice lawyer
22:57And he somehow got wind of your mistake
22:59And you're here to
23:01To protect you and the hospital
23:02And Richard will throw you under the bus
23:04So tell me what happened
23:15Dammit, there goes the ureter
23:18Ureter's flooding the field
23:19I need suction now
23:20What do you want to do?
23:22Well, the field's contaminated
23:23I can't risk an infection with a synthetic graft
23:27I brought his bike here
23:29When do you think he can start working again?
23:31Dr. Miller
23:33Uh, give me a minute
23:37We had some complications
23:38He's an issue with the surgery
23:42I'm securing the aneurysm
23:43He's stable for now
23:45You can't just place the graft
23:46And pump him full of antibiotics
23:48I told you
23:48It makes more sense to leave the complex reconstruction
23:50Until he's cooled down
23:52For how long?
23:53A couple weeks
23:53No, he can't be out of work that long
23:56I leave for vacation tomorrow
23:57So it'll have to be someone else
23:59If you want it done any sooner
24:00So that's why you're punting the hard part
24:02I stepped in at the last minute here
24:03It was supposed to be Ridley
24:05Now, if you'll excuse me
24:06I'm gonna go close him up
24:07It's your call
24:08How you want to handle it from here
24:09Yeah
24:10Is there a problem?
24:13Abe is stable
24:15Okay
24:15Uh, there was a complication
24:17And we are still trying to work out the next step
24:19So if you could just wait over there
24:21And just give us a moment to talk this through, okay?
24:23Thanks, Mahat
24:26Why did he say Dr. Ridley was supposed to do the surgery?
24:30I had nothing to do with that change
24:31And Swanson is usually pretty reliable
24:34Now, I'm not blaming you
24:35I'm just trying to figure out what happened
24:37That malpractice lawyer is sniffing around
24:39He knows a mistake was made earlier
24:42And now we have this to deal with
24:45Okay, well, look
24:47That could have happened to anyone
24:49And I was the one supervising
24:51So no matter what happens
24:52I've got your back
25:03All right
25:04Down we go
25:10Oh, I didn't know you had company
25:11Oh, finally got him down
25:13But you don't need to whisper
25:14We want him to get used to voices
25:16Do you remember how quiet we tried to be with Katie?
25:18We practically turned her into a Fabergé egg
25:20Small kid, small problems, huh?
25:23Uh, I wanted to give you the heads up
25:25There is a potential perfect storm brewing downstairs
25:28Oh?
25:29Donnie Glick was admitted this morning
25:32Oh, God
25:33Don't tell me we misdiagnosed him
25:34No, we're treating him for autoimmune meningitis
25:36And he's stable
25:37But his roommate's had some missteps
25:40And I'm afraid Donnie's gonna be sniffing around
25:42I didn't want you to get blindsided
25:44He's got Max on speed dial
25:45So I appreciate the heads up
25:47Richard will give you the complete record
25:49When he's out of surgery
25:50It's certainly good to have him back
25:53How's that going?
25:54I told him that I would nail him to the wall
25:56The first mistake he makes
25:57Perfect
25:58I mean, that's the kind of camaraderie
25:59I've been trying to foster here
26:02What was that?
26:0390 seconds?
26:05May I?
26:06Oh, sure
26:07Hi
26:10Oh, here
26:13For the germs
26:23Still got the touch
26:26Yeah
26:27Emile Franklin returned
26:28You're 4 p.m.
26:29We'll be able to meet you here
26:30Oh, great
26:30Thanks, Paul
26:34Emile Franklin, the headhunter?
26:37You know how rocky things have been
26:39Just keeping my options open
26:42Yeah, I mean, can't blame you
26:43If you're not happy here
26:45But I don't think the hospital
26:47Could stand losing you right now
26:50I appreciate that
26:53You know, I think he's gonna need
26:55Some more rocking
26:57Hey, what's going on?
27:00Donnie Glick just had a seizure
27:02Okay, I will be right there
27:05We're missing something
27:07What if a sinus infection
27:09Broke through to his brain?
27:10That would have shown in the spinal tap
27:12Not if the bacteria
27:13Hadn't reached his brain yet
27:15You said his nose bled when he seized?
27:17It's possible that the steroid treatment
27:20Weakened his immune system
27:21And then the bacteria broke through
27:23Could be staph
27:24It could be strep
27:25It could be H-fruit
27:26You know, he is a regular
27:28At a naturopathic spa
27:31Could be Nagleria fowleri
27:32A brain-eating amoeba?
27:34You know, sometimes when there's hoofbeats
27:36It's actually a zebra
27:37Don't tell me I tell you that
27:41We should find out how they treat their water
27:48Yes, it was the issue with his blood clot
27:52We did everything we could
27:57I'm...
27:58I'm so sorry, Sylvia
28:06Okay, we'll be waiting for you when you get here
28:13I never should have come in tonight
28:16No
28:18A thrombectomy could have killed him
28:20Well, you thought he could handle it?
28:22Well, maybe I was wrong
28:23If one more clot was enough to tip him over
28:26Then he was...
28:27He was so close to the edge
28:28You're just saying that, Richard
28:36It was a 50-50 call
28:38And they were two bad choices
28:40Sometimes we flip a coin and we lose
28:44You know that?
28:50When it doesn't get any easier
28:53We just get stronger
28:58Get back on the horse
29:01Fight another day
29:11We called that spa
29:12And it turns out
29:14They don't use chlorine in their pools
29:15Which means that
29:16They can become a petri dish
29:18For bacteria and parasites
29:19Who doesn't use chlorine in 2025?
29:21They called it a proprietary blend
29:24Of natural cleansers
29:25So, because they rely on
29:28Sunshine and rainbows
29:29For their sanitation
29:30I might have a parasite in my brain
29:33Something in that water
29:35Is infecting your brain
29:36It might be bacterial
29:38Or an amoeba
29:39An amoeba?
29:40The nosebleed is why we think it's an amoeba
29:42Look, if we're right
29:43The steroids sped up
29:44What the amoeba would have done on its own
29:46But it may have saved your life
29:48Because it exposed it to us
29:49Okay
29:51And if you're wrong?
29:52We have two choices
29:53We assume it's bacterial
29:56And start a very strong regiment of antibiotics
29:59Or we can induce hypothermia
30:01To control the inflammation in your brain
30:04And kill the amoeba
30:05You want to freeze me?
30:07Most doctors wouldn't even give you this option
30:09They'd be so afraid of litigation
30:12It is a risk, Donnie
30:13For you and for us
30:15But our instincts say
30:17This is it
30:2193.2 and holding
30:22Starting another chilled bag of saline now
30:2792.8
30:3092.6
30:32EEG suppressed
30:3491.6
30:35He's within range
30:42I'm really sorry, Abe
30:44But there was a complication
30:46And so we weren't able to complete the surgery
30:49What does that mean?
30:49You're going to have to wear a urine bag
30:52Until we can remove the urostomy stent
30:54And place a synthetic graft
30:55And that will complete the procedure
30:57But when will that be?
30:59I need to get back to work
31:02You brought my bag, yeah?
31:03I brought it
31:04It's outside the hospital
31:06Okay
31:07So when can they fix me?
31:09Well, we have to do this right away
31:11We understand that, Abe
31:12But the surgeon who started it can't finish
31:15So just give us some time to find another solution
31:17This is happening because of the problem with my lung from before
31:21No
31:22These other problems are a separate issue
31:25But unfortunately, many things have gone wrong today
31:35Uh, sir
31:37Ranjit Reddy's here to see you?
31:39Oh, damn it
31:40Um, one sec
31:49Okay, send him in
31:53Ranjit
31:54Hey
31:54It's great to see you again
31:55How's life treating you in Rochester?
31:57Yeah, I can't complain
31:58I was surprised you wanted to take this meeting here
32:01But now I see why
32:03Yeah, Nora had a full plate
32:04So I ended up with Simon today
32:06Yeah
32:07I heard you're two separated
32:10Right
32:11Yeah
32:12Still working that out
32:13Yeah
32:15So you're interested in joining the mail?
32:19Well, I'd at least like to hear about the opening
32:22To be honest, Michael
32:23I don't know if it would be a good fit
32:27If that's the case, I'm sorry to drag you out here
32:30I wanted to tell you myself
32:32I appreciate that
32:33Is it the issues with Yunos, or?
32:36Obviously that relationship is very important for us, but
32:40It's not just that
32:41You've had the hostage crisis
32:43The cyber attacks
32:44Dixon lawsuit
32:45Yeah
32:45Had some bad breaks
32:47Yeah, that's one way to look at it
32:50So
32:51You're saying I'm likely to run into this issue wherever I go?
32:55Well, I don't know what your level of urgency for change is
32:57Well, it's pretty high, Ranjit
32:59I mean, you know what Max is like
33:00Yeah, well, suits are suits
33:02Can't say our guy's much better
33:03I get that, but I think a fresh start
33:06Look, Michael
33:07What I'm trying to say is
33:09I think you should lay low for a while
33:11Give people a chance to put all this drama in the rear view
33:18Sure
33:20Makes sense
33:21Thanks for the advice
33:23That's a stable, respiration 18
33:26We're getting consistent flow
33:31Thanks for coming
33:32I didn't want you to hear it from anyone else
33:34I thought we had an understanding here
33:35Dr. Swanson just tanked a surgery I could have done with my eyes closed
33:39And that got me thinking
33:40Who is this resident walking into my office with these accusations?
33:44They're not accusations
33:45Oh, they most certainly were accusations, Dr. Heller
33:49Rumors and accusations from people who don't have the courage to step out of the shadows
33:53Our only concern, Joan, is the patients
33:56It's Dr. Ridley
33:57And may I remind you
33:59I have been far more generous with my colleagues than you were today
34:02Remember?
34:03Remember that illegal shot from Mexico
34:06And then the ensuing cover-up between you and your paramour
34:11You think I haven't seen you arriving every morning in perfect formation, ten minutes apart?
34:16Okay, so what?
34:17You've just been waiting for the chance to play that card?
34:19It's not a card
34:20It's not a game
34:21You make her happy
34:22Everyone can see that
34:24And she's my friend
34:25But it is a bit rich
34:27You walking in here and thinking you know what's ethical
34:30And what's right
34:32So I will leave you with this
34:33I would never endanger a patient
34:36And my surgeries don't have complications
34:55Uh, Dacron graft is in place
34:59Ureter is fully repaired
35:01He's still looking at about two weeks before he can be active
35:04But no urine bag
35:05Great work
35:06Thank you, Dr. Ridley
35:08I read his report
35:10Sounds like you botched the central line
35:12Never even got to ultrafiltration
35:14His lung collapsed
35:15But I was
35:15The point is how she recovered
35:16She immediately recognized the problem
35:18Kept the patient calm
35:20And placed the chest tube flawlessly
35:22And he was my procedure
35:23So if you need to put it on someone
35:25Put it on me
35:28No need to martyr yourself for points, Dr. Miller
35:39That's just your style
35:40I wouldn't worry
35:42It's not that
35:50What the hell happened?
35:51She pulled rank
35:53She did her own thing
35:54She basically dared me to go to Dr. Hamdar the board
35:56Sounds like that's what's called for
35:58And drag you and TJ into this?
35:59No way
36:00I'm not gonna do that
36:01And I'm not letting either one of you do that behind my back
36:03So just don't even think about it
36:05I mean, she did operate on my patient today
36:08And did a good job
36:10Again
36:11So maybe we were wrong
36:13And we should wait
36:14I don't
36:15I don't know
36:15I just
36:16I don't know right now
36:17Just get out of your heads
36:18And let me deal with it
36:19That doesn't feel good, man
36:21Hey, Liz
36:22Can you, um, just give us a minute?
36:28Hey, look
36:29You did everything you could do
36:31All right?
36:32I mean it
36:32Well, sorry we got you into this
36:34No
36:35Do the right thing
36:36Just
36:37Let it go
36:44Feeling better?
36:47My head still hurts
36:48But nothing compared to before
36:50Did you get it?
36:51We got it
36:51Your brain is intact
36:56So listen, uh, I know I'm not the guy you wanted to stick your neck out for
37:01And you think I'm kind of a scumbag
37:04So I should probably tell you, uh, this is the second time I've almost died in a hospital
37:11First time I was, uh, 26
37:13Back in law school
37:15Went in for a routine abdominal procedure
37:18Doctor nicked an artery
37:21Soed me right up
37:22For the next three days I had so much stomach pain I thought I was gonna faint
37:27They gave me pain meds
37:29They gave me pain meds
37:29Anti-nausea meds
37:30Kept telling me it was normal
37:31Even after I started throwing up like crazy
37:34They made all kinds of excuses
37:36Day four
37:37Before I was in sepsis
37:39In the ICU, whole nine yards
37:42My parents were there thinking they're gonna lose me
37:45The hospital never took responsibility
37:50I didn't have any money to hire a lawyer
37:52So that was that
37:54No justice
37:55No consequences for the doctors
37:57Everything just swept under the rug
38:01So
38:03That's why I do what I do
38:06You don't tell that story in your commercials
38:09I don't trade on my trauma
38:10But
38:12This is personal for me
38:13I'm sorry that happened to you
38:16And I understand that what you do is necessary
38:21But maybe you could look a little more closely at who you go after
38:26I'll, uh, I'll leave Dr. Matra alone
38:28As a gesture
38:29You wouldn't win that one, Donnie
38:31It would just be frivolous and good people would get hurt
38:34That's my point
38:35Well, I'll think about that
38:37But you answer me this
38:39You know any doctors who've gotten away with stuff they shouldn't have?
38:46We will figure something out
38:47But what?
38:48I understand how hard it is to be separated from your family
38:51But you need to find a way to take care of your health
38:53I'm sorry to interrupt
38:54But
38:55I might be able to help
38:56What would you say
38:57To joining Westside Hospital
38:59As a porter?
39:01What is that?
39:02All these people that you see doing things like
39:04Making beds
39:05Delivering meals
39:06Moving patients around
39:07They're porters
39:09And they would hire me
39:11Just like that
39:12I just got off the phone with the head of the department
39:14If you want it
39:16The job's yours as soon as you're recovered
39:18They've got a union
39:19Benefits
39:20And maybe
39:20Once you get your family over here
39:22You can go to night school
39:23And get that degree in chemical engineering
39:26I bet you'd do it in half the time
39:28Since you already studied in your home country
39:30I don't know what to say, Dr. Amila
39:35Thank you
39:36So much
39:37I'll have someone come by with the paperwork in the next day or two
39:47Jess
39:48Hey
39:51That was pretty amazing
39:53What you just did
39:55Sadly, it was pretty easy
39:57He just had to end up here
39:59And come across somebody in a position to help
40:04I also appreciate what you did for me today with Joan
40:09I just hope you did it for the right reasons
40:31I can catch the next one
40:34It's fine
40:50I heard you've been getting some of your memories back
40:54I really do hope you get them all
41:12So Richard's back, that's new
41:13Please, don't get me started
41:15It kind of seems like Max isn't valuing your opinion much these days
41:18Oh, you think?
41:20Well, I mean, at least you get to take your paternity leave at the office now
41:23One of the perks of being abandoned by your wife and disenfranchised by your boss
41:28Plenty of nap time
41:30I gotta say
41:31He is really cute, though
41:33I mean, it's almost enough to make a girl think twice about her life choices
41:37Come on, really?
41:38I mean, that'd be a long shot
41:39But
41:40It was really nice seeing you back in that mode
41:43It always suited you
41:46I don't know
41:48What?
41:49It's something Amy said yesterday
41:53She thinks I've changed
41:55But I don't want to admit it
41:56Of course you've changed
41:57I mean, for the worse
42:00I think you've become more vigilant
42:02And operating more from a place of fear
42:05But that's to be expected
42:06Given everything you've been through
42:08Well, I don't want that anymore
42:10Is that why you had the guy from the Mayo in your office today?
42:12You heard about that?
42:13With everything you've got going on
42:14Katie going off to school
42:15I'm pretty sure you're staring a midlife crisis squarely in the face right about now
42:20Okay, maybe not a Porsche
42:22But
42:23Feels like it's going to be time for a bachelor pad
42:26And a fresh start
42:27Maybe I'll get back to my roots
42:29Start tending bar again
42:32You'd have the ladies lining up to tell you their problems
42:35That's all I need
42:37Oh, Dr. Hamda
42:41Listen, I say let it rip
42:43The chips will fall where they may
42:49To letting it rip
42:50And a Porsche
43:09Are you staking out my doorway?
43:13We gotta talk about Joan
43:15We gotta talk about Joan
43:17We gotta talk about Joan
43:21We gotta talk about Joan
43:21We gotta talk about Joan
43:23We gotta talk about Joan
43:23We gotta talk about Joan
43:23We gotta talk about Joan
43:24We gotta talk about Joan
43:24We gotta talk about Joan
43:25We gotta talk about Joan
43:26We gotta talk about Joan
43:28We gotta talk about Joan
43:34We gotta talk about Joan
43:49You
