00:00It isn't great, but it could be worse.
00:03Worse than my own body attacking itself?
00:06It's an autoimmune disease, for God's sake.
00:09There's no cure for this.
00:10It's a matter of managing the crisis that's going to be thrown my way in the bottom of the ninth.
00:15Perry, you know this disease has a high survival rate, especially since we caught it early.
00:19Well, in the beginning stages of renal failure, J.D.
00:21Yeah, but you can slow all that down.
00:23With aggressive treatment and an immunosuppressant,
00:27microscopic polyangitis can easily go into remission.
00:30Did you really think that this couldn't happen?
00:35That just because we're out there taking care of all of them,
00:37it would get some kind of karmic immunity to protect us from what's coming for us all?
00:46Yes.
00:51Will you promise me that you'll keep me alive for a very long time?
00:58Because I don't want my death to be the thing that makes you cynical.
01:02I promise that.
01:02Let me finish.
01:05Because I won't be around here to enjoy it.
01:08And even death, I couldn't bear the irony.
01:13All I can hear is that you're going to let me be your doctor.
01:16I'm already tingling from the prospect of our sponge pastor, Agatha.
01:22I tried to protect you from this.
01:26Everything I had.
01:31But I am so scared.
01:37I have a plan.
01:40And I don't care if you don't like it.
01:43It is the best path forward.
01:45Turk had asked me when I'd stop needing Dr. Cox's approval.
01:50Okay.
01:50It was now.
01:53Because now, and I got you.
01:56He needed me.
01:57He needed me.
