Transcript
00:04Are you sure this thing is safe?
00:06Absolutely! Heavy wall PVC tubing, reinforced wood supports.
00:11My cousin checked it all out, he's an engineer.
00:14I thought he didn't finish school.
00:15It's a slide, Jimmy. As long as it points down, there isn't much to it.
00:27Come on!
00:32You sure that's enough water? Seems like a lot of friction here.
00:36Are you kidding?
00:36I plugged this into the municipal line. We got pressure for days.
00:50Fern! I'm stuck! There's no water! I'm dry!
00:56Hang on!
01:02Shit! I might need some WD-40 for this too!
01:11You're right! It is dry in here!
01:15Jimmy! Jimmy!
01:17I'm just saying, keep your expectations low.
01:20Too late. My expectations are already super high.
01:23I mean, it's always been good before, why would it be any different now?
01:26Even if we both really want it, it might change things.
01:29We're opening it up, we're bringing new people in.
01:32It could change our dynamic.
01:35Look, big crew turnovers never go smoothly.
01:39I know, but I've already gotten a ton of really great resumes.
01:42I mean, the documentary raised a lot of interest.
01:44I think we're going to have a huge turnout this week.
01:46Chopper, Marianne, Tristan, Novak, Bodie, TJ.
01:49We lost some really special people.
01:51And even if new ones come in, Sky Med might not feel exactly the same.
01:56Even with the new hires and the new aviation management group,
01:58it's still always going to be Sky Med.
02:00I still think we could have told the AMG about the new staff, though.
02:03No, it is always better to ask forgiveness than permission with management.
02:06They've barely paid any attention to us.
02:07They're so busy getting the Pacific base off the ground.
02:09Yeah, and I don't want to keep it that way.
02:10Sneak in these new hires before they remember we exist.
02:16Oh, another big turnover.
02:17But I guess that's what this place is.
02:19They come here and they grow up.
02:21They leave.
02:22Well, you didn't leave.
02:23Well, maybe I haven't grown up yet.
02:25But you haven't left either.
02:26Yeah, because Sky Med is my family.
02:27Sky Med is your family?
02:29Mm-hmm.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Okay, there might be a certain chief pilot worth hanging around for, too.
02:42You ready, Chief Nurse Roberts?
02:45Ready, Chief Pilot.
02:46He's there.
02:47I was not ready for this.
02:49Jimmy?
02:49Vern?
02:50How you doing down there?
02:51I got some road rash and my one arm is in fact the right way.
02:55But when I had Jimmy, I could kind of knock him out.
02:57Possible head injury.
02:58I could be looking at spinal injuries, too.
03:00You know, professionals, they usually build exit panels in these.
03:04That would be smart.
03:05Look, I don't think I'm going to be able to cut through this.
03:07I think I need to go to the bottom and try and pull him out.
03:10Okay.
03:13Vern, I want to stabilize Jimmy before Weezer pulls you out.
03:16So if I send you down a sea collar, you think you could use your good arm to put it
03:19on him?
03:19Yeah, probably.
03:21Great.
03:36Go ahead.
03:37Wrap it under his chin and use the straps to stabilize it as best you can.
03:41Okay.
03:41Hey!
03:42Hey!
03:43I can throw these enough to pull myself off!
03:45No, no, no!
03:45Don't do that!
03:46It's tight to the-
03:48That doesn't sound good.
03:50Whoa!
03:53Whoa!
03:53Whoa!
03:55Whoa!
03:56Whoa!
03:56Whoa!
03:57Whoa!
03:57Whoa!
03:58Whoa!
03:58Why does it always make you guys?
04:01See?
04:02I was right.
04:03Same old SkyMed.
04:05I'm sorry.
04:06I'm sorry.
04:24I'm sorry.
04:27Good morning, Crystal.
04:27Hey, Franklin.
04:30Yeah, I've just been really busy.
04:31I start my residency in the ER tomorrow.
04:33Yeah, I've been super busy too.
04:35Yeah, my band got back together.
04:36I play bass.
04:38Cool.
04:39Listen, I really need to study the six Ps of perfusion for acute limb ischemia tomorrow.
04:44Um, it's pulse, pallor paralysis-
04:47Sure, maybe I could take you out sometime.
04:48My band's got some gigs.
04:50Yeah.
04:52Pain!
04:53Geez, I would love to, but, um, I'm just slammed with SkyMed in my residency, so-
04:58Sure, sure.
04:59But, I mean, come on.
05:00Um, it's been a year since Jeremy, and now TJ's gone too.
05:08Franklin, are you okay?
05:10Okay.
05:11Okay, I'm gonna do abdominal thrusts.
05:16Oh.
05:18Call an ambulance?
05:19I'll do compressions.
05:20You do jaw thrusts.
05:21I'm sorry, who are you?
05:22Xavier.
05:23Zay.
05:24No one calls me Xavier, but my mom's assistant.
05:26Right.
05:27I'm, uh-
05:27Crystal.
05:28I know.
05:28I saw the documentary.
05:30Chief nurse says I'm with you today.
05:31Three and four and-
05:33There it is.
05:35You forgot poikulothermia, by the way.
05:37It's the sixth P of linischemia.
05:4130-year-old amateur pickup artist.
05:43Obstructed airway after a run-in with a peanut.
05:45We removed the obstruction, but it's chances with the girl.
05:50DOA.
05:52So, you met Zay.
05:54What do you think?
05:55He's cool.
05:56Cute.
05:57Not my type, but-
05:58And then what do you think of Zay as a nurse?
06:00Oh.
06:01Um.
06:02I mean, it's too soon to tell.
06:04All I've seen him handle is a choking rampy.
06:06It's not even a Tuesday morning around here.
06:08Today's a special Tuesday.
06:09Because tomorrow is the big day.
06:15Hailey.
06:19I'm only technically a doctor.
06:21It won't be official till I finish my residency.
06:22I still got four years.
06:23Yeah, but you worked hard for that technical title, Doctor Highway.
06:27I just wish Jared could see this.
06:29He does.
06:32I'm just glad CCH is letting you count your SkyMed hours towards your emergency medicine residency.
06:36I seriously don't know what I would do without you, Chris.
06:39I mean, I'm still new at this chief nurse thing, and with all the new hires coming in-
06:41You're gonna be great.
06:43I've never had this big of a responsibility before, and-
06:46I just really want to be good at it, Chris.
06:48I mean, SkyMed's my family.
06:49And that's why you'll be great.
06:52Okay, so, I need to find two new medics to replace Tristan and Marianne.
06:56I'm gonna fly with all the applicants personally, but I would love it if you and Steph weighed in on
06:59them, too.
07:00And what about the new pilots?
07:01Weezer and Lexi have a little bit of a different approach.
07:04I will trade you the cowboy for Maya.
07:06Maya's only got 300 hours.
07:08You're taking a risk training Captain Lexi.
07:10Yeah, I'll tell you what.
07:12I will take Stiles and cowboy, and you can have Johnson.
07:17Not Johnson.
07:18He got all his hours on a rental beating up the circuit.
07:20Lexi, your dad's RCAF.
07:21You know you gotta take every advantage you can get.
07:23My dad taught me how to fly.
07:25He didn't pay for me to joyride in a 172.
07:27Why don't you want Johnson?
07:28Because I want the 500 hours and a clapped-out grooming AG cat cowboy.
07:32You cannot beat farm kids for work ethic.
07:34I prefer training and discipline, like former cadet Maya Chang.
07:37Right, top cadet, former top of her class in flight school, a mini Lexi respectfully.
07:42Oh.
07:43Hello.
07:47Babe.
07:49Oh no, there is only one Lexi and she is mine.
07:53Babe, you want a coffee?
07:54I will pass.
07:56We got a bunch of greenhorns coming up to compete for a spot to replace Novak, Chopper, and TJ.
08:02Yeah, we got a little wager going on to see who can get the most new pilots on the final
08:05roster.
08:06We're each evaluating a group of newbies.
08:07And when I win, I get my choice of first officer.
08:10Well, I think what she meant to say was when I win, but...
08:12Huh.
08:13Isn't it kind of cruel to be running a pilot's hunger games?
08:15If all I had to do to get a job out of flight school was compete with nine other
08:18pilots for a week, I would have been ecstatic.
08:20All right, I will keep Johnson, but I'm gonna need two first place picks in exchange.
08:26Fine.
08:27I'll take Johnson, but I get Maya.
08:29Mini Lexi's yours, Cowboy's mine.
08:32Weezer seems pretty confident with his picks.
08:34Don't worry, I got the best pilots.
08:36Yeah, you did, Captain Martine.
08:38Fit check girl, show me the goods.
08:39Okay, so you know I got my dad's headset and Novak's four gold bars.
08:44Oh yeah, let me get that.
08:45Yeah, I know he gave me these so we could still fly together, but I miss him.
08:50Novak and I have always flown together since we were fifteen.
08:53But hey, I know that you miss your cranky Polish bestie.
08:56But, you still have me.
08:59You're my sexy girlfriend, not my nerdy plane friend.
09:01It's different.
09:02What about Weezer?
09:03You two seem to be getting along great, and he made you training, Captain.
09:07Yeah, but he's my boss.
09:09I just wish Novak was still here.
09:12See?
09:13I start talking about planes and you start yawning.
09:15Babe, it's not that, okay?
09:17This is my third double shift this week.
09:18When was the last time you took a break?
09:20Got some sleep?
09:21Not until they hire the new medics.
09:24But, if you wanted to take a break and not sleep, I know a broom closet.
09:31Girl, you know I like to take my time with you.
09:34Oh, is that so?
09:42No one's gotta do that.
09:44Definite brain check.
09:46Okay.
09:46Okay.
09:47Get out of here.
09:51Welcome to Sky Med Nuggets.
09:53I'm training Captain Martine.
09:55And what you lucky little cones have here is an unprecedented opportunity to walk into the right seat of a
10:01King Air 200.
10:03Now, most pilots go through years of sweat and training to get to where you're standing now.
10:09And all you gotta do is make it through the next week.
10:12And it is my job to squeeze all those years of sweat and training into it.
10:21Berk.
10:23Johnson.
10:29Those boots are filthy, recruit.
10:33Hit the polish.
10:34Seriously?
10:35Fix it and try again.
10:39Let's see if we can find someone who does know how to put a uniform together.
10:42Where is former recruit Maya Chang?
10:45Present, ma'am?
10:48Maya Chang?
10:50Top Air Cadet Maya Chang?
10:53Did some of my sparkles fall off?
10:54I don't know what squadron you came from, but in mine we respected the uniform.
10:59No personalizations.
11:00Or the only way you'll be flying is when I kick your ass straight off the hangar.
11:03Understood?
11:03Understood, ma'am.
11:08Exceptional training pilots will finish this week in a right seat.
11:12But since you greenhorns don't even know how to dress yourselves, you'll start under the hood.
11:16Time to learn refueling and oil checks.
11:19Let's go!
11:21Pop quiz hotshot.
11:22Bullet propeller accident.
11:24What injuries can we expect?
11:25Oof.
11:26Amputations.
11:26Head injuries.
11:27Fractures.
11:28Internal bleeding.
11:29Drowning.
11:29Pop quiz hot doctor.
11:31Are you single?
11:33What?
11:34Who's TJ?
11:35That rampy said he can ask you out now that TJ is gone.
11:37That's not...
11:38TJ and I were never...
11:41TJ is on leave visiting his niece in Australia.
11:45Um...
11:46It's crucial that the patient is stable before we get on the plane, so how would you...
11:51Hook up a life pack, secure an airway, start an IV.
11:53I mean, no offense, but this stuff is kind of basic.
11:56And you're a fancy ER resident now.
11:58Aren't you kind of slumming it going out into the field?
12:00No.
12:01That's why I became a doctor.
12:03It's never slumming it to help people.
12:04Hey!
12:04She's over here!
12:07Hi, Sonya.
12:08I'm Crystal.
12:09This is Zay.
12:10We're from SkyMed.
12:11Ugh!
12:12They shouldn't even allow motorized boats on this lake.
12:14I tried to get away, but...
12:15Have a look here.
12:17Severe lacerations.
12:19She's gotta bleed.
12:20We need a...
12:20Tourniquet.
12:20Got it.
12:27I can hold pressure.
12:28Okay, good.
12:29I'll start an IV for fluids and meds.
12:31I'm supposed to do a triathlon next week.
12:33What's gonna happen to my leg?
12:34Hey, if you're doing a triathlon, you must know about bikes, right?
12:37Yeah, I like riding a lot more than swimming right now.
12:39Bet you got a pretty fancy ride, huh?
12:41Yeah, I have a carbon frame road bike with a Shimano 105 curb set.
12:46Oh, okay.
12:49There's a lot of bleed through.
12:51Even with the tourniquet, we're still two hours away from that thing.
12:53We can't wait that long.
12:54She'll bleed out.
12:54If I can find the bleed, I could suture the vessel, but...
12:58I can't even see where to suture.
13:00What if we try epinephrine?
13:01I'd be is a vasoconstrictor, but if we gave it intravenously...
13:04So we give it topically.
13:06They use it in endoscopic surgery.
13:07It won't stop a bleed this big, but it might stop enough for you to be able to see.
13:10Yeah, let's do it.
13:11Will that work?
13:13I've been thinking about getting a bike for work.
13:15I hear there's some great trails up here.
13:16What do you think?
13:17Will a roadie cut it for both?
13:18You should get two bikes.
13:19Oh, not on my salary.
13:23Then, for trails, you're gonna need a hardtail.
13:27For a commuter, you wanna go full rigid, maybe a cross bike.
13:33Are you willing to go to drop bars?
13:34Oh, I haven't really thought about drop bars.
13:39You need to slow down.
13:41Good call, I can see where to suture.
13:43You're gonna sew inside my leg?
13:45Hey, tell me about drop bars.
13:47Are they worth it?
13:50They lower your center of gravity, make you more aerodynamic.
13:55But you gotta be flexible.
13:56Oh, I can do the splits.
14:01Nice work on these sutures.
14:02A cool trick with the epi.
14:04Let's go.
14:04OR2.
14:06You were good with Sonia.
14:08Guess you have to buy a bike now, huh?
14:10Sonia?
14:13No, I hate bikes.
14:14I just didn't want her to be afraid.
14:16Fear increases oxygen demand, heart rate, blood flow.
14:18And then my cool epi trick wouldn't have worked.
14:20I wasn't totally sure it would work, but it's the whole point we're up here, right?
14:24When else would a nurse get to try stuff like this in the field?
14:27Wait, that's why you came up here?
14:29Yeah.
14:30I mean, that's why we're all up here, right?
14:31Well, maybe you can't remember a patient's name five minutes after we dropped them off.
14:35And maybe you think it's slumming it going into the field unless you get to try cool shit.
14:38But these are real people.
14:39And they deserve a lot more than a medic who thinks he's too good to take care of them.
14:48Can I give you some advice?
14:50You've got a lot of resumes to get through there, not a lot of time.
14:54Little Hunger Games never hurt anyone.
14:55Look, I know you've been chief pilot a lot longer than I've been chief nurse,
14:58but I think I'm gonna handle it my way.
15:00Just one medic at a time, one on one.
15:02Okay.
15:04I'm just saying, a little competition could be good.
15:06Weeds out the non-starters.
15:07You worry about your pilots, I'll worry about my medics.
15:12This patient is stable, but if we needed to secure an airway, how would you proceed?
15:17Page an RT?
15:18Oh, in a hospital, yes.
15:20But we don't have respiratory therapists up here.
15:22We only have what's on the plane, actually.
15:24What about blood work?
15:25Page a lab tech?
15:26Right, but no lab techs either.
15:28So what do we have up here?
15:31Pilots?
15:31Am I supposed to know how to do that?
15:33Whoa, whoa, I have control.
15:35Not while you're flying, champ.
15:42You remind me of my brother's sister-in-law, Missy.
15:45Of course, that's not her real name.
15:47We just call her Missy because, well, we've been going to the same hunting camp.
15:51Oh, what's that?
15:52Okay.
15:53Thanks, Captain.
15:55This is some prophylactic lorazepam.
15:57The captain says it's going to be a bumpy flight.
16:03If I'd had to listen to that for the next two hours.
16:13Okay, IV's all set.
16:16Vitals look good.
16:17Can I get you anything?
16:18Some water?
16:19No.
16:20Great.
16:20Then all you've got to do is enjoy the flight for the next 45 minutes.
16:25Oh, just...
16:33Sorry, where's the bathroom?
16:35Bathroom?
16:35I have a bit of a nervous tummy.
16:37And, you know, big job interview, plus lots of coffee this morning.
16:42So, the toilet?
16:43There's no facilities on this aircraft, kid.
16:45You're going to have to hold until we get to Winnipeg.
16:46Oh, God.
16:49There must be something.
16:52Uh...
16:57Is this really happening?
17:03No.
17:07No.
17:08No.
17:10No.
17:12No.
17:21No.
17:23No.
17:26No.
17:26Nobody likes Zay.
17:27I don't like Zay.
17:28What?
17:29Well, what happened?
17:30I thought you liked Zay.
17:31Not as much as Zay likes Zay.
17:32I mean, he's skilled, but he's not here for the right reasons.
17:34He just wants to hotshot.
17:35Chris, I just went through a stack of resumes, and you hated me too at first, remember?
17:39It's just different.
17:40Zay doesn't care about his patients.
17:42Oh.
17:43Great.
17:44My first week is chief nurse, and I can't even staff the planes.
17:47Well, welcome to being the boss, kid.
17:58Look, I know you're slammed, but I'm dealing with a very picky palate here.
18:01If there's even a hint of ketchup on that burger, I'm gonna have to come back and get
18:04another one.
18:05And between you and me, I can't afford the gas.
18:08So...
18:08Look, I really don't want to be a jerk.
18:11Thank you!
18:13Sounds like your boyfriend's the jerk.
18:16Aten on Asia's perfect condiment.
18:17Hmm.
18:17No boyfriend.
18:18Then your girlfriend's the jerk.
18:20No girlfriend either.
18:23Well, great.
18:24So then I can buy you a drink.
18:25Sorry, cowboy.
18:27Gotta get that burger home.
18:28And I absolutely respect that, but...
18:30When the prettiest ketchup-hating girl I ever did see crosses my path, I gotta give it
18:34my all.
18:35So...
18:35What is your poison?
18:37Okay.
18:38Yeah, you can buy me a drink.
18:41You could ride that thing.
18:43Oh!
18:45Woo!
18:46You are on, partner.
18:48Just a word to the wise.
18:49You're dealing with a certified pro here.
18:50If it's got wheels, I can drive it.
18:52If it's got wings, I can fly it.
18:53If it's got fur, I can ride it.
19:01In my defense, real bulls don't move like that.
19:03Looks like you're in for a bit of a weight, cowboy.
19:05It's Wyatt.
19:06Thanks for driving me.
19:07It's probably just a sprain.
19:10You'll need to ice you when you get home, wrap it up for a few days, okay?
19:12Are you a doctor or something?
19:13No more bull riding.
19:14No heavy lifting.
19:15Oh, crap.
19:16I'm trying out for a new job this week.
19:18Of course this happens.
19:18I have terrible luck.
19:20You probably wouldn't have guessed it, but I grew up on a small ranch in Saskatchewan.
19:23I might have guessed.
19:25I don't usually get to hit on much of anything.
19:27Outside of wingin' gophers off the back porch with a slingshot.
19:29And I certainly don't get to hit on girls as pretty as you.
19:32So, if you don't mind me asking, how did I do?
19:34Points for creativity.
19:36But my life isn't exactly normal right now, cowboy.
19:38And I can't get distracted.
19:41So, take it easy on that wrist, okay?
19:44Whoa, wait, wait.
19:46Thompson's a small town.
19:47Maybe I get lucky and I see you again?
19:51Might be luckier for you if you don't.
19:58Hold it off.
20:00Hold it off.
20:03Keep holding off.
20:11Is that going on the controls?
20:16I have control!
20:22You have to break the stall first, add power, then level up.
20:26It's about getting familiar with the aircraft.
20:28With more practice, it'll come naturally.
20:31Chang, you're up.
20:35What did I just say about the uniforms?
20:37My uniform isn't personalized.
20:39My headset is.
20:41I read SkyMed regulations.
20:43Headsets aren't considered part of the uniform.
20:44Pilots are responsible for providing their own,
20:46and the only requirement is that they be in safe working order.
20:49Your headset's personalized.
20:50Who's Marty?
20:58Dr. Ai Wei.
20:59Thought you'd want to know.
21:00The boat propeller triathlete?
21:02Winnipeg salvaged her leg.
21:03She's got a long recovery, but her prognosis is good,
21:06thanks to you, Sutra, and the vessels.
21:08Smart move with the epinephrine.
21:09It doesn't bother you that we tried something untested?
21:11You knew Epi wouldn't hurt the patient,
21:13and she has a better prognosis than she would have otherwise.
21:15In emergency medicine, that's a win.
21:18Good choice hiring Zay, by the way.
21:20He was a smart hire.
21:22You were gonna pass on him, actually.
21:24He cares more about cool medicine than helping patients.
21:27Crystal, you know who his family are, right?
21:30No, why would that matter?
21:31A 65-year-old woman with facial lacerations after a fall down the stairs?
21:34Don't you worry, Edna.
21:36Crystal will take good care of you,
21:37and I'll be back to check on you later today just like I promised, okay?
21:42I didn't have time to get groceries,
21:44so you're gonna have to get yourself something to eat,
21:45and no junk food.
21:47Oh, shoot, I'm late.
21:48Okay, how do I look?
21:50Desperate.
21:51Finn, it's a perfect gig.
21:52Flexible hours, decent pay.
21:54Yeah, in the ass end of nowhere.
21:55Yeah, I know, it's not home, but it's a fresh start, right?
22:00We need this, kid.
22:04You're gonna rock it, kid.
22:07This is my last 20.
22:08Your dinner better have at least one green thing on it, got it?
22:11I-I...
22:12Eggles don't count.
22:19Ain't no ketchup.
22:25Oh, God.
22:25You're a pilot.
22:27I thought you said if it had wheels you could drive it.
22:30Well, I can.
22:30But the damn thing keeps breaking down.
22:34Son of a bitch.
22:36Didn't I tell you to wrap this wrist so it actually heals?
22:38Yeah, well, I can't have anyone know I sprained it.
22:41I need this job.
22:42I can't give them any reason not to hire me.
22:43Well, if you're not gonna wrap it, then you need to take it easy on this.
22:46It's fragile.
22:47So you're a nurse, huh?
22:48Did I finally get to know your name or should I check the manifest?
22:51Piper Adler?
22:53Yes, that's me.
22:54Chief Nurse Roberts.
22:55We just got a page for a pediatric fall.
22:57Your house is up to date, right?
22:58Mm-hmm.
22:58You're up, cowboy.
23:00Make me look good up there, okay, kid?
23:02Gotta get at least one pilot on the roster, eh?
23:04Yeah.
23:07It was like a hundred feet deep.
23:10Well, it wasn't that deep.
23:11Maybe nine feet?
23:13They were swimming at a friend's house, and when they came home,
23:16they decided to make a diving board off an old freezer in the garage.
23:20Can you make a fist for me, Zach?
23:21It really hurts.
23:23Yeah, I bet.
23:24I got something for that.
23:26Oh, oh.
23:28We'll get popsicles when Zach's getting x-rays.
23:31You know, when my brother and I were little,
23:33we used to see who can hold our breath under water the longest.
23:36We did that too.
23:37Bo was under a long time.
23:40Did he cough a lot when he came up?
23:43Do you mind if I have a listen?
23:45Oh, go ahead.
23:47Ready?
23:53He's got a crackle.
23:56Lethargy.
23:56Coughing.
23:56Wet lungs.
23:57You're thinking secondary drowning?
23:59What's that?
24:00It's a delayed reaction from inhaling water.
24:02The lungs get inflamed and restrict breathing.
24:03It's more common in children.
24:05Starting oxygen.
24:06Six-year-old boy.
24:07Wet lungs.
24:08Lethargy.
24:08Following inhalation of pool water.
24:10Ten-year-old boy.
24:10Possible ulnar fracture.
24:11Following six-foot fall.
24:14Hey, um, I'm not supposed to make any job offers until the end of the week,
24:17but how soon can you start?
24:19I got the job.
24:20And if you move into the crew house today, you can have your choice of room before Weezer's
24:23pilots grab them.
24:24Oh, and I'm making a SkyMed family dinner on Friday, so make sure you're free for that.
24:27Is the crew house mandatory?
24:29It's just, um, my parents died last year in a car accident.
24:35My brother's only 15, so it's just the two of us now.
24:38Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
24:40That's really hard.
24:41I lost my mom when I was young, too.
24:42I just want to give him some stability, you know?
24:45Of course, yeah.
24:47Um, look, just wherever you live, make sure you can get to the hangar within ten minutes
24:50of a page, okay?
24:52Yeah, okay.
24:53After I lost my mom, I struggled for a really long time to find a place that felt like home.
24:58And then SkyMed became my family, so maybe I can help be some family for you, too.
25:03I'll make sure we find a place close to the airport.
25:12You're not Mr. Miller.
25:13Oh, yeah.
25:15Sorry, I just, I needed a quiet place to catch up on some charting.
25:17Oh, um, Greg, the brittle diabetic.
25:20Do you remember if he was discharged?
25:21You didn't drop him off to me.
25:23Really?
25:23I thought that was you.
25:24No, I was the 65-year-old facial laceration.
25:27Oh, right, Edna.
25:29Wow.
25:29What is with this brain fog?
25:31Have you been getting any sleep?
25:33Nah, I'm pulling doubles till Haley can make the new hires.
25:36Shoot, I told Greg I'd check on him.
25:38I'll have to swing by after I finish this.
25:40Have you been following up with all your patients?
25:42Try to.
25:43It makes it easier to do the job, knowing what happens to people after I drop them off.
25:48Okay, well, just don't spread yourself too thin.
25:51Working doubles and doing extracurriculars is a lot.
25:54I don't want to find you in one of these bays for real.
25:57Dr. Highway?
25:58Alright?
26:17This is bullshit.
26:19All we've done is practice stalls and refuel planes.
26:23I mean, we're all pilots here, right?
26:25We all know how to fly.
26:28I didn't come all the way up here to have some hormonal bush pilot grabbing my controls.
26:34Captain Martine.
26:40You know how to fly small planes in perfect conditions.
26:44The reality up here is different.
26:47Bad weather.
26:49Bad strips.
26:50Bad gear.
26:51So up here, you have to know your SOP's cold.
26:53So you don't have to think about it when you have an engine failure in the middle of an ice
26:57storm
26:58while your patient's bleeding out in the cabin behind you.
27:00Or you have to divert on min fuel and your patient has 15 minutes to get to a hospital.
27:07That is why I make you practice stalls.
27:10So we don't have to think about it when the real thing happens at the worst time.
27:16And that uniform does not belong to you.
27:19It belongs to SkyMed.
27:20It represents our responsibility to our patients and our crew.
27:24So if I can't trust you to have attention to detail with your boots,
27:29how can I trust you to have attention to detail with a $5 million aircraft?
27:35Since you need the practice, hit the apron, Johnson.
27:38Check the fleet's oil.
27:40The whole fleet?
27:42By myself?
27:43Since you know more than all of us, show me.
27:45I want every plane refueled and oil checked before you leave tonight.
27:54Any other questions?
27:58Check-in time 0700 hours tomorrow.
28:08Calling me, huh? Guess Novak's not around.
28:11He's busy being a big deal at Air Canada.
28:14And I always call you Dad.
28:15I know, Gus. What's up?
28:17Weas are trusting me to be a training captain.
28:19But Dad, these nuggets are a mess.
28:20That's why you're there, Lex. To get them up to scratch.
28:23What if I can't?
28:25Look, I'm trying to train them how you train me.
28:28But when I was learning, I followed orders and showed respect.
28:32These kids, they're not like how I was when I came up.
28:35Everyone always says that.
28:37It's about standards, Lex.
28:39Yours are high, which is good.
28:41As long as you maintain your standards,
28:44they'll either come up to your level or fall off and go away.
28:47But you have what it takes.
28:50I just...
28:52I miss flying with you, Dad.
28:56And Novak.
28:57Give it time.
28:58You'll find someone else there you like flying with, too.
29:03Thanks, Dad.
29:05Normally, I wouldn't bring a training pilot into the field,
29:08but I got a bad back and you were young and strong.
29:10You'll bounce right back if a naked patient falls on you.
29:12Why would they be naked?
29:13Oh, trust me. They're always naked.
29:16You know, I didn't realize pilots assisted medics.
29:18Relax.
29:19We're mostly here just to carry stuff.
29:20Just don't drop a patient, you'll be fine.
29:22Uh, where is the patient?
29:24Over here.
29:25Some hikers called it in.
29:37Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a broken line. It could still be live.
29:39Uh, this is Dan. Today's his 60th birthday.
29:42Oh, happy birthday, Dan.
29:43Thanks, man.
29:44He went skydiving to celebrate, but he got blown off course on his way to the landing site.
29:47The carabiner on my harness hit the power wire.
29:50It harked right through me, hurt like a son of a bitch until I dropped.
29:53I chairlift lines that carry a lot of voltage.
29:56There's a cutaway release.
29:57I managed to get an unlock, but...
30:01I can't hit the release.
30:02Don't, don't move, Dan, okay?
30:03If you make contact again, you could get electrocuted.
30:06He's already been hit once.
30:07By this broken line, it could arc.
30:09So stay back until the power's off.
30:10I'm gonna call the ski hill and get them to turn it off, alright?
30:12Okay.
30:14What about me?
30:14How do I help?
30:15Just don't get in the way.
30:17How you doing up there, Dan?
30:18Not so good.
30:19It's my chest.
30:21I have a pacemaker.
30:22Is that bad?
30:23It could be.
30:24If the voltage fried his pacemaker.
30:26Alright, the power's off.
30:27We still need the fire department's boom truck to get them down,
30:30and they're a couple hours out.
30:31No, the patient could be an arrhythmia.
30:32He might not have that long.
30:33The power's off.
30:34We gotta find a way to get them down.
30:35I know I'm supposed to catch naked people,
30:37but I've had a lot of run-ins with electric fences that were supposed to be off.
30:40There's a trick to check it.
30:42Just...
30:42Hold on.
30:43Every tornado season,
30:44I try to move cattle past knock-down hydro lines.
30:47I needed a way to check if they were live or not.
30:50So, I figured out that high voltages interfere with radio signals.
30:56Yes.
30:58Yes.
30:58Perfect.
31:00So, if you tune a radio at AM, off frequency, and you get real close, come on, you can actually
31:15hear the electricity.
31:17Get it.
31:19Shots still alive.
31:21I'll call the ski hill.
31:27Dan?
31:28Dan!
31:29Hey, we need to get him down.
31:31It's stuck in that harness.
31:32Well, how do we...
31:33How do we hit the release from here?
31:34Have you got anything stretchy?
31:36Like a rubber band or something?
31:38The tourniquet.
31:39Oh, man.
31:42Oh.
31:43Oh.
31:44Yes.
31:45Hey, this?
31:46Yes.
31:46See what I mean about farm kids?
31:47You cannot beat their ingenuity.
31:49Yeah, but Weezer, even if he does hit the release, the patient's unconscious.
31:52We can't just let him fall.
31:52I'll catch you in this.
31:53Yeah.
31:54All right.
32:11Six-year-old now.
32:13Cardiac arrest.
32:13Electrical burns following high-voltage electrification.
32:17The patient has a pacemaker and a history of 65-year-old.
32:27Uh, hey.
32:27That patient I just brought in, the electrocution.
32:29He just went into surgery.
32:31Ten minutes ago.
32:32Ten minutes?
32:33Is that his belongings?
32:35Uh, yeah.
32:36I guess I forgot to leave them with him.
32:38So I got on autopilot for a minute there.
32:45Okay, so you check the landing gear.
32:48Make sure the tires aren't worn or worn.
32:49You're damaged.
32:51Who wants to do the oil check?
32:52I already topped it up.
32:54I thought I told you to check the fleet's oil last night.
32:57I did.
32:58Just wanted to double check it again this morning.
33:01Chang, right seat.
33:03You're up first.
33:05Yes, ma'am.
33:08If it's past 10,000 feet, we'll set up for the stall.
33:12Left engine oil pressure's dropping.
33:14Reduce power?
33:17Shit.
33:17We have a bad leak.
33:18I have control.
33:19You have control.
33:20Get on the radio, call a pan-pan.
33:22Tell Thompson we'll be landing single engine.
33:24Pan-pan, pan-pan.
33:25Thompson radio, sky-mine.
33:26What do we do?
33:27You do nothing.
33:28This isn't a training flight anymore.
33:29It's an emergency.
33:30I'll land single pilot, one engine.
33:33Left engine shutdown sequence.
33:34Turn left engine position lever?
33:36Confirmed.
33:37Cut off.
33:38The room cut off.
33:44Oh, man.
33:45That looks bad.
33:48There's no oil cap here.
33:50You forgot to secure the goddamn oil cap, Johnson!
33:53Don't blame this on me. Chang was the one flying.
33:55Excuse me?
33:55You forgot to secure the oil cap.
33:58You were rushing to do this morning what I ordered you to do last night.
34:01Unsecured oil cap wouldn't cause a leak.
34:02Yes, it would.
34:03And you would know that if you were listening when I was trying to teach you how to do oil
34:06checks.
34:06You almost just torched a million dollar engine.
34:09If Maya and I didn't know how to handle it, we could all be dead right now.
34:12This isn't personal.
34:14It's about standards.
34:15And you aren't up to them.
34:21Head to showers.
34:21The final roster will be posted in an hour.
34:25Chang.
34:27Yeah.
34:29Thanks for having my back up there.
34:31How did you know the SOPs for the shutdown sequence?
34:33You said we needed to know the plane cold.
34:35So, I studied until I did.
34:39There was a moment up there when the pressure dropped and I thought I was going to barf but
34:42then I knew what to do.
34:44You were right.
34:46Thanks, Captain Martine.
34:58Goddamn!
34:59Woo!
35:01Woo!
35:01Looks like you made the cut.
35:03Congrats.
35:04Yeah.
35:04Yeah.
35:04Maybe my luck's changing, eh?
35:06Can I take you for that drink now to celebrate?
35:08I convinced an AME to take a look at my truck.
35:10It might even make it the whole way to the Whiskey Hatch.
35:12The only thing I'm doing at the Whiskey Hatch is picking up a takeout order as soon as
35:14I hit the showers.
35:16Well, maybe if you change your mind, I can hold a burger for you.
35:20No ketchup.
35:24Yes!
35:26Hi, it's Frida.
35:28Oh, sorry to keep you waiting.
35:30What is this?
35:31Well, you've been so busy with school, the community didn't want to tell you until we
35:35knew it was happening, but...
35:37The Jeremy Wood Clinic?
35:39North House needs more access to healthcare and it felt like a good way to honour Jeremy.
35:44It's a beautiful way to honour him.
35:46We're close to raising the money, cuz.
35:49And we want you to run it.
35:51The clinic would run in cooperation with an ER in Winnipeg.
35:54You'd have all the support you needed, and it would go towards your residency.
35:58I...
35:58I'd have to leave SkyMed.
36:01We're submitting the proposal this week.
36:04If we get the funding, we're hoping to open this spring.
36:09911 needs to be cleaned, and guys, let's get these pallets stored away properly, please.
36:13How many times I gotta tell ya?
36:14Wow.
36:15You're really rolling out the red carpet for our picnic?
36:19I just got word the Aviation Management Group rep is on the way up here for inspection.
36:22Wait.
36:22The AMG rep is coming up now, and you didn't tell me?
36:25Weezer, I'm the chief nurse.
36:27I need to be here, too.
36:29Dammit, I'm not even in my uniform.
36:31Shit.
36:31I am so sorry, Hayley.
36:33I wasn't thinking.
36:33Why are they coming up?
36:34Is it the new hires?
36:35Well, it was risky sneaking them in, but...
36:38We can't exactly fix 933's engine without telling them.
36:40There's no way an AMG's gonna get a bill that high and not come up here.
36:43But hey, look.
36:44I am so sorry.
36:45I screwed up keeping you in the loop.
36:47We got this.
36:48As long as we're a unified front, that's all that matters.
36:52Captain Heisman.
36:53She's here.
36:58Oh, shit.
37:01Opie!
37:06You two know each other?
37:10Oh, yeah.
37:11Used to be engaged.
37:17Yep.
37:23Oh, my God, Hayley, I just got your text.
37:25Weezer was engaged to someone else before he married Lynn.
37:29You don't know either, huh?
37:30Who is she?
37:31What's the deal?
37:32I don't know.
37:32There wasn't exactly time to get into it because Captain Riley wanted to inspect the fleet.
37:37And Weezer.
37:38So, my first SkyMed family dinner isn't exactly going great.
37:43My boyfriend has an ex-fiancee I didn't know about and I can't hire enough medics to keep the planes
37:47in the air.
37:48Chris, am I the worst chief nurse SkyMed has ever had?
37:52No.
37:57I might have been too hard on Zay.
37:59It's not like he hurt the patient and he does no stuff.
38:04Annoyingly.
38:05I know it's really hard to find staff up here, especially with people leaving all the time.
38:09And you can't turn down a good medic just because I didn't love his attitude.
38:14Chris, ugh.
38:17Even with all of the stuff with Weezer and Riley and the new hires.
38:21I'm so glad I have you.
38:23Seriously.
38:23You are my family and you are the best medic on my team.
38:28Hayley, I need to tell you something.
38:3055-year-old male hit by a car into Gog Ridge Road.
38:33Likely concussion, broken ribs, decreased LOC.
38:35Piper?
38:36Wyatt?
38:38His truck must have broken down again.
38:39He must have been working on it.
38:40And there's this blind curve on the road.
38:42There's a lot of accidents in that stretch.
38:44We're both headed to the whiskey hatch.
38:45I was just a few minutes behind him.
38:47Did I get hit by a bull?
38:49Bay 2 have imaging.
38:50Standby for a CT.
38:53Hey.
38:53Hey.
38:54Hey.
38:54Are you okay?
38:55Should we call the police?
38:56I only called an ambulance.
38:57I was just so focused on getting him help that I-
38:59It's okay.
38:59I'll handle it.
39:00But if the driver already fled the scene by the time you got there, the police aren't likely to find
39:03whoever hit him.
39:04Hey.
39:05Hey.
39:06He's gonna be okay.
39:07He's lucky you found him when you did.
39:22Hello?
39:23Where are you?
39:24You said you'd be home an hour ago.
39:25You weren't answering.
39:27Uh...
39:28I'm sorry, Finn.
39:29Um...
39:31I got delayed.
39:31But you're coming home, right?
39:33When you didn't answer, I-
39:34I thought-
39:36What?
39:38Piper, you weren't answering.
39:40Finn, it's okay.
39:41I'm coming home.
39:44I won't leave you alone.
39:47I promise.
