Short filmTranscript
00:06I got a call from the medical board.
00:09A complaint was filed that you breached an ethical code.
00:12I'm the one who reported you.
00:14I know.
00:15You had your reasons.
00:16I'd like us to move forward.
00:17What did you mean by if Carol can be Dana's mentor?
00:20That Dr. Dang reported Dr. Pierce, but they've clearly moved past it.
00:24Dr. Dang did what?
00:25Why would you not tell me this?
00:27Because it wasn't about you, wolf.
00:28We tell each other everything.
00:30Why not this?
00:31Don't be alarmed.
00:31I know Noah.
00:32I know.
00:33Who are you?
00:35Sophia.
00:36Who's treating you?
00:37I have these crazy dreams.
00:39You need a doctor?
00:40Why don't I treat you?
00:41And in exchange, you can tell me what my father's been up to for the last 30 years.
00:45Got yourself a deal.
00:47Did Josh mention Dr. Bo Pedrosa?
00:50I've heard a lot about you, doctor.
00:51Yeah, I've heard about you as well.
00:54Dr. Pedrosa is Josh's boyfriend.
00:57I met your colleague, Dr. Wolfe.
00:59Nice guy.
01:00He seems to care a lot about his patients.
01:02Don't really know him that well.
01:20Hi, Eddie.
01:23Nope.
01:24Did you check the bedroom?
01:26No, I wasn't saying that you did.
01:30Okay, I will try to get home before the storm gets to...
01:34Okay.
01:36Bye.
01:46Come on.
01:47What's eating you now?
01:52Oh, come on.
01:53Don't give me a hard time.
01:57Oh, come on.
02:29Oh, come on.
02:34Oh, come on.
02:36Oh, come on.
02:55I'll see you same time next week.
02:57See you next week.
03:10I feel fine.
03:11Yeah, everything's fine.
03:16Of course.
03:17Right this way.
03:18I'll take you to the draw.
03:19Yeah.
03:24Can I get the intake forms for Dr. Wolf for all of today's patients?
03:27I know he's going to ask me for that.
04:10There's been a leak, Carol.
04:12They've been trying to keep me in the dark.
04:13But word is the board's about to vote whether to name me the next chief.
04:17No more interim, just chief.
04:19Hey!
04:20Well, that tracks.
04:22You got us through January, our busiest time of the year, without any issues.
04:26Who was the leak?
04:28Silva.
04:29That also tracks.
04:30Carol.
04:31Carol, I really want this.
04:32It would mean greater security, flexible hours, everything I need if I'm going to settle down and start a family.
04:37With Bo?
04:39Yep.
04:41But look, I could use your help.
04:43New York mayors and chief medical officers are measured by one thing, how they handle a storm.
04:47City Hall just issued a travel advisory due to today's storm, so I'm suspending all elective procedures and outpatient appointments.
04:53That frees you up to use your MD however it's needed.
04:55I want today to go smoothly.
04:56Oh.
04:57Oh, okay, Josh.
04:59Whatever you need, but you do realize I haven't practiced non-psych medicine since residency, right?
05:04Muscle memory is real.
05:05Besides, I don't actually anticipate there being any problems.
05:08Except...
05:09How's that other storm cloud?
05:13You mean Wolf?
05:14Yes.
05:15Well, like you said, muscle memory.
05:19I can handle it.
05:26Do you want me to get Dana and Charlie?
05:29Uh, no need.
05:30Okay.
05:32Well, this is the list of all the patients on our floor today.
05:35Two follow-ups.
05:35Mrs. Henry, pregnant with well-controlled epilepsy.
05:38And Miss Graham, post-stroke needs rehab assessment.
05:41And then all the rest of our in-patients.
05:43Great.
05:43Well, looks like there's nothing here you can't handle.
05:47Pages me if anything comes up.
05:50You got it.
05:55Dr. Dang, congratulations.
05:57You have won the honor of updating 50 delinquent charts that Dr. Wolf can't seem to be bothered with.
06:02Oh, what did I do to get so lucky?
06:04Yeah.
06:05Where have you been, Kenny?
06:07Just, uh, with Dr. Wolf going over today's game plan.
06:10Why wouldn't you page me?
06:12Looks like I have company on Dr. Wolf's blacklist.
06:15Welcome to the team.
06:17Why would Wolf be icing me out?
06:19I may have let it slip that you're the one who reported Dr. P.
06:22Wait, you did what?
06:23You told Dr. Wolf that I reported his ride or die?
06:26It was an accident.
06:27Sometimes I just get to talking and I can't stop.
06:29I'm a people person.
06:31No, you're an unrepentant gossip.
06:33Maybe.
06:33But you'll never guess which ICU doc is in a thruple.
06:35Who?
06:38Wow.
06:39I miss when residency was fun.
06:40You know, before the toxic twins showed up.
06:43Everything's gonna be okay.
06:45You're right.
06:46I'm T minus six hours.
06:48I will be home watching Hunting Wise with Katie.
06:51I can survive one shift with Wolf hating me.
06:53Actually, due to the storm,
06:55admin just announced that we're all working a mandatory double shift.
06:58So get cozy.
07:11Amos?
07:13What?
07:14Okay.
07:14Okay.
07:15Clear play!
07:16Now!
07:17The camera monitors abnormal body movement, sleep posture, even signs of night terrors.
07:25Just make sure it gets my best angles.
07:28Did you know that no living organism can stay sane without sleep?
07:32I read that while I had insomnia.
07:34I'm so on the brink.
07:35I grabbed this in the lobby.
07:37Hudson Oaks is giving resort vibes.
07:39Yeah, well, that's how they lure you in.
07:43Listen, Sofia, a lot of people struggle with sleep issues.
07:46It doesn't mean that they need inpatient psychiatric care.
07:49We will get to the bottom of this.
07:51Why are you being so nice to me?
07:54Well, we made a deal.
07:56I'm just keeping up my end of the bargain.
07:59And you have been good for my mental health.
08:04Want to make it a slumber party?
08:05I give great mani pedis.
08:07That sounds incredibly tempting, but it looks like I'm needed in the ED.
08:11Fine.
08:13Friendly reminder, my last doctor up and left without any notice.
08:17Don't go AWOL on me like your dad.
08:20I'm not my father.
08:23I don't abandon my patients.
08:25I'll check in on you in a few hours.
08:27Get some rest.
08:41Your seizure med levels are perfect.
08:44You are all set to go.
08:46Sweet.
08:46I guess we'll see you in a few weeks.
08:48Uh, is someone coming to pick you up?
08:51Yeah, the four train.
08:54I'm sorry, Mrs. Henry, but with a high-risk pregnancy,
08:56I think it's best for you to wait out the storm here.
08:58Are you telling me that I have to stay in this surprisingly cozy bed
09:01instead of trekking through a blizzard
09:03to my helpless husband and our two home-from-school kids?
09:07Doctor's orders.
09:08Oh, thank you, Lord.
09:09I'll be in to check on you in a little bit.
09:11No rush.
09:13Door open and closed?
09:14Closed.
09:15Please.
09:28Puncture wounds to the neck at point-blank range with a nail gun.
09:31But if that's gonna happen, I guess you want it to happen in the boiler room of a hospital.
09:34Right, Amos?
09:35Yeah, just not this one.
09:40Our running theory is the nail hit the jaw and miraculously bounced out.
09:45CTA is pending, but so far, no evidence of any major vascular damage.
09:49Okay, uh, how can I help?
09:50Amos started complaining about numbness in his right leg.
09:53No focal deficits that I can tell.
09:55And I doubt it's related to the trauma, but...
09:57Hey, Amos, uh, sounds like you've had quite an eventful morning.
09:59How are you feeling?
10:00I want to leave my wife.
10:02I am so sorry to hear that.
10:05I was talking about your leg as it started...
10:08It was intake.
10:09Oh, I hate the flu season.
10:11What is that?
10:15That's brain matter.
10:17Where did you say the nail went?
10:25Well, we found the nail.
10:28That's remarkable.
10:29I mean, his neuro exam was completely normal.
10:32Fully conscious.
10:33No weakness.
10:33He even turned down the pain meds.
10:35We gave him a tetanus shot.
10:36That's it.
10:37Amos still need surgery as soon as possible.
10:39The nail will cause the brain to swell.
10:40Could be rapidly fatal.
10:41I'll prep the OR.
10:42And in the meantime, could you start, um...
10:45What's it called?
10:47Caprenseftriaxin?
10:48Yes, thanks, Dr. Wolfe.
10:49Are you feeling okay, Dr. Nichols?
10:51Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine.
10:52I'm just, uh...
10:53Thinking about my surgical plan.
10:55This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime scan here.
10:57I'll see Amos in the OR in an hour.
11:04Dr. Wolfe, a quick update on Mrs. Henry,
11:08the pregnant woman who follows our epilepsy clinic.
11:10She was ready for discharge, but just developed a terrible headache.
11:13A normal neuro exam, no red flag symptoms.
11:16Doesn't need a scan.
11:17What's her pressure?
11:17Normal.
11:18No proteinuria.
11:19So then the headache isn't a symptom of preeclampsia?
11:21No, but she is uncomfortable.
11:23I'll continue to monitor her.
11:26Very good.
11:27Dr. Wolfe.
11:31I did report Dr. Pierce.
11:32It wasn't an easy decision and I have thought about it nearly every day since,
11:36but she and I, we cleared the air.
11:39And we're moving forward.
11:42Can we do the same?
11:43No.
11:54Okay, let's get this started, team.
11:58Amos, you're in good hands.
12:01You know who had the best hands?
12:03Jerry Bryce.
12:04His old man was a bricklayer.
12:06He used to throw bricks down at football.
12:09I know.
12:15Stop, team.
12:16I...
12:18Uh...
12:18Team, I need to step out.
12:20Amos, I'm so sorry.
12:21We're gonna have to postpone that surgery.
12:23I'm not feeling so well.
12:24What?
12:31Josh, are you feeling okay?
12:34I don't know what happened.
12:36Must be the bug that's going around.
12:38Well, if you need to go home.
12:40No, I may not be able to perform Amos' surgery, but I can still fulfill my duties as chief.
12:44I'll just quarantine here in my office and luckily, Carol, we have you to be my eyes and ears out
12:48there.
12:54You feeling sick too, Wolfe?
12:57Uh, no, never mind.
12:59Uh, if Amos needs a new surgeon, are we thinking Mia?
13:01She's qualified.
13:02Mia just finished back-to-back-to-back, so...
13:05Legally, she's out and, uh...
13:08Rarick is in Florida.
13:10Well, then, who's left?
13:11Amos needs this surgery today.
13:13What about Bo?
13:14He's in the Bronx?
13:15Yeah, that's true.
13:16He is.
13:16But the conditions are brutal out there.
13:18Well, that's a risk we're gonna need to take.
13:21For Amos, I mean.
13:23Look, this is a complex surgery.
13:24The clock is ticking.
13:25He's right.
13:26Bo is Amos' only shot.
13:28Okay.
13:29I'll make the call.
13:30Um, please, uh, shut the door on your way out.
13:34Thanks.
13:41Why am I still a human shish kebab?
13:42Dr. Nichols was unable to perform your surgery.
13:45We've called in an outside doctor.
13:46They should be here very soon.
13:48Oh, let me guess.
13:49I go back down to the hellhole that is ED because neuropsych floor is full?
13:53You know I'm correct.
13:55Dr. Wolf, if it took me as long to get through a repair job as it takes you to get
14:00through your patients, I would be out on my ass.
14:03I've never seen this side of you, Amos. I like it.
14:06I gave Dr. Wolf a piece of my mind in a Kleenex.
14:09Let me give you a piece, Dr. Thorne.
14:11You taking Justine to the gala instead of Dr. Pierce was a betrayal.
14:15What is wrong with you?
14:18Hi, honey.
14:20What did you look in the closet?
14:22Well, let me tell you something.
14:23I don't care.
14:25You need to start being a self-sustaining adult.
14:29No, you have talked long enough.
14:31It is my turn.
14:32I know this.
14:33I've known this guy for years and I've never heard him utter anything more than a friendly hello.
14:38Neurologically, he's stable, but this nail in his head really seems to have caused some personality changes.
14:45Maybe we do need to-
14:46Look, I see where this is going.
14:48Just bring in Dr. Pierce.
14:51Instead of me.
14:52Instead of me.
14:52You heard the man on me.
14:53Yeah.
14:57What is up with today?
14:59I'm exhausted.
15:00It's barely lunch.
15:01Hospitals in winter.
15:02F me, flus, myocardials and emergencies.
15:06Yeah, but it's not new patients.
15:07It's our current patients and they're getting worse.
15:08There must be something going around.
15:10It's just a storm that makes people stir crazy.
15:14Sure about that?
15:18F me is right.
15:20Yeah, hey, this is Silva on three.
15:22We're gonna need some help up here.
15:26Start it out normal enough.
15:28I was downstairs replacing some old vents.
15:30Thinking about the Roman aqueducts.
15:33Did Genghis Khan destroy those?
15:34Did you know he had a harem?
15:36Hundreds.
15:36I personally prefer a burnet.
15:38My mother, she was a blonde and why?
15:39Why am I telling you this?
15:41I just asked you how your day was going before the accident.
15:43It appears that the nail in your brain is lodged in the prefrontal cortex responsible for executive functions like decision
15:52-making and self-control.
15:54Brain injuries affect everyone differently, but in your case, Amos, it seems to have removed some restraints.
16:00My restraints on what?
16:02Shutting up?
16:02From filtering yourself.
16:04You're speaking your unedited thoughts whether you want to or not.
16:07Oh, my wife is gonna love that.
16:10Am I gonna go back to normal after the surgery?
16:12There's no way to know until after.
16:16Amos?
16:18Amos?
16:19Amos?
16:20Help!
16:21We need 200 milligrams of adamant and airway kit now!
16:24Hello?
16:25Anybody?
16:27Muscle memory.
16:28Okay.
16:33Long suction.
16:35An airway.
16:37It's a tunnel.
16:38Here we go, here we go, here we go.
16:40Use BVM for blow by oxygenation.
16:42Let's be ready to intubate.
16:43The med should hit in a second.
16:45Hey.
16:45Come on in.
16:46Come on in.
16:46You're breathing for me.
16:47Come on.
16:48No.
16:54Alright.
16:59Damn sight.
17:01Didn't know you had those moves.
17:10Dr. Pedrosa, thank you for bringing the storm.
17:12No such thing as I snowed in medicine.
17:14How's Josh doing?
17:15Well, you know, Dr. Nichols always trying to seem tougher than he is.
17:19Bo, your patient just seized despite being on anticonvulsants.
17:22He's stable now, but we're concerned about cerebral edema.
17:25Understood.
17:26Okay, take me to Josh.
17:26I'll reveal the keys with him and let's get the old wire up and running.
17:29Okay, let's go.
17:35Apologies for the wait, Mrs. Anne-Marie. How can I help you?
17:37I'm sure it's nothing.
17:38Don't tell me.
17:40I feel like I'm having trouble breathing.
17:42The air is so dry up here, that's likely.
17:44What's going on?
17:45But let's take a look.
17:48How is it?
17:49Your oxygen is great, 100%.
17:50Let me take a listen, okay?
17:52Can you sit up for me?
17:55Deep breath.
17:58Honey, you're wheezing bad.
17:59Do you have asthma?
18:00Not that I know of.
18:02Is the baby okay?
18:03Your numbers look great, but better than I expected this week.
18:06Please.
18:07What does that mean?
18:09I'm not sure exactly, but we're going to find out.
18:12So you sit tight, okay?
18:20Josh!
18:22What's going on?
18:22What's wrong?
18:23I know, this sounds crazy.
18:24I think I'm having a heart attack.
18:26We've got to get him to the ED.
18:27Now.
18:28Let's go.
18:31Yes, I understand that, but I've been on board already.
18:33Everyone, attention!
18:34Please!
18:35But I've already seen Paul.
18:38Sure, yes, yes.
18:39I understand.
18:40Yes, I'm happy to-
18:41Yo!
18:43While y'all have been working in your own lanes, I am the only one who sees a little bit
18:48of every case up here.
18:49And Papi is concerned about what he is seeing.
18:52302 has chest pains.
18:54306, nausea.
18:55308, abdominal cramping.
18:57And then just now, my patient in 310 is hypoxic despite having normal saturation of VBG levels.
19:02I don't know what is going on, but this does not sound like some flu outbreak to me.
19:06Silva's right.
19:07This isn't the flu.
19:09Put it all together, it sounds like it could be carbon monoxide poisoning.
19:13Silva, what was the carboxyhemoglobin read on Emma's VBG?
19:1615%.
19:17That's diagnostic for carbon monoxide exposure.
19:19We need to evacuate.
19:20Okay, everyone, let's move as quickly and safely as possible.
19:24Let's start with your patients.
19:26We have a code orange on floor 3.
19:29Code orange on floor 3.
19:31Code orange on floor 3.
19:33Code orange on floor 3.
19:36Code orange on floor 3.
19:38Code orange on floor 3.
19:41First round of beds are in ED.
19:42Emma Henry, the pregnant woman?
19:44Uh, we moved her first thing because she's particularly susceptible.
19:47Okay, good.
19:48That makes 35 patients everyone's accounted for.
19:50Jay, what'd you find?
19:51The average CO level up here is 800 ppm.
19:55It's a good thing you found it when you did.
19:56That kind of exposure could be fatal.
19:58Okay, all staff members from this floor need a few hours of oxygen treatment
20:01just to wash out even trace amounts of carbon monoxide, yourself included.
20:05Spread the word.
20:05What'd you?
20:06Are the other floors of the hospital safe?
20:08Yeah, the other piers isolated to this floor.
20:10My guess is over a century of renovations and a stitched together ventilation system was the cause.
20:15But you know, our handyman Amos was working down there in the basement when the accident first happened.
20:20I looked down there for the source of the leak.
20:22But why didn't our CO alarm detectors go off?
20:25Oh, those detectors are so sensitive.
20:26When it's winter and the ambulances are idling, the exhaust can set them off.
20:30Somebody probably turned the alarms off and would come and put them back.
20:32It was a perfect storm.
20:34Thanks, Jay.
20:34Yeah.
20:37Dr. P, the light bulb has arrived.
20:43There you are.
20:44Okay.
20:45We know what's wrong.
20:46There was a carbon monoxide leak on the third floor.
20:49What?
20:50Did we evacuate?
20:50Yes, yes.
20:51Everyone is safe.
20:52FDNY is here investigating the leak.
20:53The real concern now is you.
20:56Based on the severity of your cardiac symptoms and the fact that you left yourself in your office today,
21:01we suspect you've been exposed to the highest concentration of toxin.
21:04This makes sense.
21:05Carbon monoxide can mimic a heart attack of those doses.
21:08Which is why it's good you've already been getting oxygen.
21:10Beau, Josh is in good hands, but Amos still needs you.
21:13We've set up a trauma OR down here out of an abundance of caution.
21:16Okay.
21:17I'll be back soon.
21:19Yeah.
21:24Hey.
21:25Don't let him out of your side.
21:33I'm so sorry, Carol.
21:35I have to see about another patient.
21:46Sophia, you're okay.
21:47Thank God.
21:48The maintenance man found me.
21:49Okay.
21:49Well, let's get you to the ED now.
21:51You said you wouldn't leave me in there, but you did.
21:53Where the hell were you?
21:54I'm so sorry.
21:56Dr. Nichols was sick.
21:57I thought he was in cardiac arrest.
21:58You left me in a sleep study during a carbon monoxide leak so you could play hero to your ex?
22:02Wow.
22:03No.
22:04We didn't know about the gas leak.
22:05I could have died.
22:07I thought you were supposed to be brilliant.
22:09I thought you were supposed to be the world's greatest doctor.
22:11The Messiah.
22:12But you're a total fraud, just like your dad.
22:24Still raspy, but it's getting better.
22:29Flo stopped.
22:32No oxygen coming out of the mask.
22:34The tubing must be kinked.
22:37Well, it looks fine.
22:40Our main oxygen source is empty?
22:42That can't be right.
22:45Too many patients requiring oxygen at once.
22:50Here's the move.
22:51Get a stat delivery from the medical gas supplier.
22:53They're always on call.
22:55I just spoke with the city OME.
22:56The trucks aren't running in this weather.
22:58We've been told the hospital needs to be self-sufficient for at least 24 hours.
23:03We only have enough portable oxygen tanks to last us a few hours max.
23:07Collect every oxygen tank.
23:09Ration and delegate to the sickest.
23:12You're in charge, Carol.
23:14I trust you.
23:20Turns out, Silva being in everyone's business kinda saved the day.
23:25This must be the CO talking, but nice job, Silva.
23:30However, cross me again and I will sew your gossipy lips shut.
23:35I'm sorry for getting you in trouble, Dr. Dang.
23:38I promise I will use my gossiping for good, not for evil.
23:42What if we didn't know we were being slowly poisoned all day?
23:45I mean, like, we could have died.
23:47Well, if we had died today, what would be one thing that you regret most?
23:53I would regret caring so much about what others think.
23:57So what if Wolf is mad at me and I'd go scorchsters for my bestie, too?
24:01Hmm.
24:03I think I'd regret never getting the chance to meet my biological family.
24:10I didn't realize that you were adopted, Kenny.
24:14I think if you want to meet your family, you should go for it.
24:17And what's your regret, Porter?
24:19Not winning your club squash championship?
24:22I, uh, I think I'd regret not being kinder to myself.
24:26And, uh, maybe all of you.
24:35What about you, Sam?
24:36Back up.
24:39Are you gaslighting us during a gas leak?
24:43If you think you can spin this life-or-death crisis into some weak apology
24:48that erases months of you being cold-hearted and a constant naysayer,
24:51you can think again.
24:52You are a toxic presence around here, threatening us with insubordination,
24:56and you laughed in my face when I told you we don't call our patients crazy.
25:00Don't forget he held your benzo use over your head, too.
25:03Yes, thank you.
25:04And that was before we find out that you're actually here for some petty revenge against Wolf,
25:09a man we all look up to.
25:11Yeah.
25:12Nice try, but...
25:14Like I said, I have regrets.
25:18I was going to say that my biggest regret would have been not hooking up with Porter.
25:22Well, Silva, we still got time.
25:28Out of my way!
25:29She's critical!
25:32Oh, my son!
25:34Is something wrong with my head?
25:36He's in VTAC, and he pads on him in Amio at the ready.
25:39We have a new problem.
25:40Emma's loss of consciousness and Josh's VTAC are signs of severe carbon monoxide.
25:44The amount of oxygen we've been treating with isn't enough. We need more.
25:46But we're running out of oxygen.
25:47Not just more oxygen. They need more oxygen under pressure.
25:50How are we going to do that?
25:53Get them to the basement.
26:01Dr. Wolf, how did you know that Bronx General had a hyperbaric chamber?
26:05It's one of the perks of having two doctors as parents.
26:12I spent my childhood getting lost down here.
26:16It looks really old.
26:21This chamber was originally used to treat Hudson River tunnel diggers who contracted the bends.
26:26Today, these chambers are rarely used, but in cases of severe carbon monoxide poisoning, they can be a crucial life
26:32-saving treatment.
26:33But how do we know this one works?
26:34Well, we don't have any other options.
26:36We can't get Josh and Mrs. Henry to a hospital on time in this storm, so this has to work.
26:40There's not a lot of room in there.
26:42Yeah, which is why you'll be the ones to operate the controls outside of the chamber.
26:46There's only room for one nurse and one attending to supervise medical inside.
26:50This is the pressure control valve. This is the oxygen valve.
26:53You'll turn these dials up to get as much pressure and oxygen as possible in order to displace carbon monoxide
26:57from the body.
26:58CO binds to blood tighter than oxygen. That's why it's dangerous.
27:01So in extreme cases, we need the pressure to unbind it.
27:04So that's why we can't just take the patients outside for fresh air.
27:06The oxygen needs to be under pressure, and this creates that pressure.
27:09Exactly.
27:10Dr. Porter, attach this oxygen tank to the chamber.
27:12I think this is the last tank, so what happens when this runs out of oxygen?
27:16Then Josh and Mrs. Henry will die.
27:20This is our only hope.
27:24Wait.
27:26Dr. Petrosa.
27:27Amos is out of surgery and recovery. I want to accompany Josh inside. I insist.
27:31There's only room for one doctor.
27:38Josh, it's your call. Who do you want?
27:42What? Whoa.
27:46Dr. Wolf, you'd better get started.
27:55Is it a bad time to mention I'm severely claustrophobic?
27:58Just breathe, Silva, but not too much.
28:00Save as much oxygen as you can for the patients.
28:06I'm flooding the chamber with oxygen now.
28:13I'm adding the first level of pressure.
28:24Every increase in pressure is going to feel like diving deeper underwater.
28:27Do your best to swallow, to clear the air from your middle ear.
28:32Both patients are becoming bradycardic. We don't have much time.
28:35Dial out the pressure again.
28:42Every increase in pressure drains the tank faster.
28:45I'm concerned we'll run out of oxygen sooner than we thought.
28:47Yes, increasing pressure decreases the volume.
28:49It's why an oxygen tank drains faster when you scuba dive.
28:51There's no way around the law of physics.
28:53It's just the needle we have to thread.
28:55Is this heat normal?
28:56I think it's making it harder for him to breathe.
28:58Yeah, the compressed air is causing the temperature to rise.
29:00It's temporary, but be prepared to intubate if this is good.
29:08Dr. Wolf, we have less than one minute of oxygen remaining.
29:11Well, we can't quite know.
29:12We'll know it's working when the heart rate and their breathing effort normalizes.
29:15Josh is going to go to cardiac arrest.
29:19Go up one more level of pressure.
29:29The oxygen is zeroed out, this is it!
29:37Josh.
29:38Josh.
29:38Josh.
29:44We don't!
30:11Their vitals are normalizing.
30:13It's working.
30:14Decrease the pressure.
30:17We've managed to displace the carbon monoxide, everyone.
30:21You're going to be okay.
30:40So, we have done a full workup,
30:43and I can confidently say that you and your baby are healthy with no residual effects.
30:49Mrs. Henry, I'm so sorry that I was the one who told you to stay.
30:55But you saved my life.
30:57The chamber?
30:59That was intense.
31:00No, no.
31:01Earlier, the carbon monoxide triggered my wheezing.
31:06I googled it, and wheezing isn't a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning unless you have asthma.
31:12I had been trying to tell my OB that I get these wheezing episodes, but everyone just keeps writing me
31:17off.
31:18Well, we may accidentally poison you, but we will never write you off.
31:23That's why I come to this place.
31:24All the way from Westchester, you guys care more, even end chaos.
31:42How are you feeling, Amos?
31:43Like, I just got a nail taken out of my head.
31:47Turns out that guy with the accent's a decent surgeon.
31:49The chiefs and I do that one.
31:50It sounds like you're still speaking the unvarnished truth.
31:53Well, my mouth has a mind of its own.
31:55Well, this might be your new normal.
31:58How do you feel about that?
32:00You know, I was always the kind of guy who kept to myself.
32:05You know, I could fly on the wall.
32:06Now people are going to hear me.
32:09It's going to take some time to get used to.
32:11Especially for my wife.
32:13Sometimes people have to put themselves through extraordinary circumstances before they can be honest with themselves or with others.
32:21You get to live your truth, Amos.
32:24Well, the good thing is, whenever I tell my wife I love her, she's going to know I'm telling the
32:28truth.
32:29And that I hate her new haircut.
32:33Maybe we can see her for some couples therapy.
32:35It's on the house.
32:37Thanks, Dr. Pierce.
32:39Hey, don't worry so much.
32:41You're a classy broad with a nice ass.
32:44You're going to find love again.
32:51Hey.
32:52Hey.
32:54I brought you some tea.
32:56You don't have to wait on me.
32:59Look, I'm completely fine now.
33:02Wolf was right.
33:03You always try to seem tougher than you are.
33:06Hmm.
33:10You, uh, you told me you barely knew Dr. Wolf, but I'm not sure that's true.
33:22Wolf and I,
33:26we used to date briefly, but it was never going to work, so
33:34I didn't think it was worth mentioning.
33:37Hmm.
33:38So instead of being honest about it, do you lie to me?
33:43Hmm.
33:45Josh,
33:47is there anything else you've been holding back?
33:51No.
33:54I'm sorry.
33:57I should have told you.
34:02I'd like Wolf, but I don't want anything to come between us.
34:10Well, then we won't let anything come between us.
34:42Sounds like you saved Josh's life.
34:45I look forward to seeing how you hold that over him.
34:54Wolf,
34:56can we please agree to disagree about Dana?
35:01I hate fighting with you.
35:03I don't want to fight with you,
35:05either.
35:10I'm too tired.
35:12Well, if there's something else going on,
35:14I really wish you would just talk to me.
35:18I really screwed up today, Carol.
35:23I almost lost a patient.
35:25Am I Henry?
35:27No, she's not being okay.
35:27No, not her.
35:29There's another patient I haven't told you about.
35:31Her name is Sophia,
35:33and she was struggling with insomnia,
35:35so I brought her in for a sleep study off the books,
35:37but then I got so wrapped up with Josh,
35:42I left her alone during the gas leak.
35:45Wait, she was in the sleep study room during the gas leak,
35:48and she's okay?
35:48Well, enough to run off.
35:50The reason Josh and Emma got so sick
35:52was because they were in closed rooms.
35:54Wolf, if you're saying she was confined,
35:56are you sure she's...
35:56She's fine.
35:59Physically, it's emotionally I'm not so sure about.
36:01Would you like me to meet with her?
36:03It's a delicate situation.
36:06I met her outside of the hospital.
36:08She worked for my dad.
36:12Oh, okay.
36:15I can see how that might come with triggers.
36:17I don't care about triggers, Carol.
36:19She could have died because of me.
36:25I've been trying to hide it.
36:34For a while.
36:39But I have not.
36:43I have not been myself lately.
36:50Between my dad and Charlie and Josh and you.
36:53Hey, Wolf.
36:54We're good.
36:57I just want to help you.
37:02You just need to ask.
37:17Hey.
37:18Talk to me.
37:20Talk to me.
37:21Talk to me.
37:23Talk to me.
37:26Talk to me.
37:44Here's all the charts for the third floor patients from today.
37:48Thank you, Estelle.
37:50Let's wrap this messy day up with a bow.
37:53Yes, Dr. Pierce.
37:55Oh, one last thing.
37:56Can you send over any data that was collected during a sleep study today?
38:00On it.
38:01Yes.
38:15I was hoping you were here.
38:17I ordered Ty.
38:19I'm so sorry.
38:22About today, I betrayed your trust.
38:25Let yourself down off the cross.
38:26I overreacted.
38:28The experience triggered my abandonment issues.
38:32Goes back to childhood.
38:36I don't talk about this a lot, but growing up an only child with face blindness.
38:45Uh, no friends.
38:47I became obsessed with the periodic table.
38:51I developed a strange kinship with the inert gases, argon, neon, helium.
38:58Makes total sense to me.
39:02I imagined that they were like me.
39:07Isolated, lonely, unable to connect.
39:10I couldn't see them, but I knew that they were there.
39:14I identified most with the noble gas xenon, because for so long, no one believed that it
39:22could connect with anything.
39:25But it turns out under extreme and specific conditions, xenon can bond with the electronegative
39:33element fluorine.
39:35I guess what I'm saying is...
39:38I'm the fluorine to your xenon.
39:42And the so-called extreme and specific condition that makes our bond work is your dad.
40:13If it makes you feel any better, your dad told me he was miserable without you.
40:22I guess I don't hate to hear that.
40:27But then I'll never understand why he came back just to leave again.
40:33Every time he goes, he leaves so much damage in his wake.
40:46Maybe it's not too late for you to do some of your own damage.
40:48I know that I'mнуться from my money.
40:53I know it's not too late for you to do some of your othergie.
41:26Where's Sophia?
41:30Ray, move your head.
