1. - Previously on ER...
- Repossessed.Copy !req
2. No! Come on!Copy !req
3. You know my schedule.
It's hard to...Copy !req
4. It would be nice if you
could call the day before.Copy !req
5. We'll see my neck.Copy !req
6. Donald Anspaugh will become County's
new chief of staff.Copy !req
7. - The guy's completely lumpy.
- I rather like him.Copy !req
8. Sit there and look.Copy !req
9. You can't smoke around this oxygen
tank either. Even at home.Copy !req
10. - It's coming up.
- All right.Copy !req
11. So you would've quit?Copy !req
12. In a minute.Copy !req
13. There.Copy !req
14. "Don't Ask, don't tell"Copy !req
15. Susan!Copy !req
16. - Good morning.
- Yes, it is.Copy !req
17. I'd even go as far to say
it's a glorious morning.Copy !req
18. Didn't your mother teach you
not to gloat?Copy !req
19. What good's a vacation
if you can't gloat?Copy !req
20. Just think, in eight days,
you'll be back here...Copy !req
21. slogging miserably through life
like the rest of us.Copy !req
22. But tomorrow, I will be in Maui
with the sun in my face...Copy !req
23. drinking a Sea Breeze.Copy !req
24. I hope you burn.Copy !req
25. Thanks for housesitting.
My cat owes you.Copy !req
26. I'll try to remember to feed her.
I hope you recognize the hospital...Copy !req
27. when you get back.
Anspaugh's got a lot of changes in store.Copy !req
28. Like what?Copy !req
29. I don't know,
but I'm philosophically opposed.Copy !req
30. That's my new motto,
"Change is not good. "Copy !req
31. We're getting more Residents.Copy !req
32. - Maybe we won't have to work as hard.
- We'll work twice as hard.Copy !req
33. - What?
- They're from Southside.Copy !req
34. Their program is, shall we say,
less than discriminating.Copy !req
35. We'll spend half our time trying to
keep them from killing the patients.Copy !req
36. Okay, I'm coming!Copy !req
37. Good morning, Dr. Carter.
I saw your car in the garage.Copy !req
38. I didn't want you to oversleep again.Copy !req
39. I'm not on for another two hours,
but thanks.Copy !req
40. I brought you some borscht.Copy !req
41. Here, here.Copy !req
42. They eat this for breakfast in Russia.Copy !req
43. Thank you for helping me fix
my tank the other day.Copy !req
44. I hate this damn thing!
It's like dragging an anchor.Copy !req
45. Just don't light
that cigarette around it.Copy !req
46. By the way, I've been feeling this
little waxy buildup in my ear.Copy !req
47. - Would you take a look at it?
- Ears really aren't my specialty.Copy !req
48. But there is a family practitioner
who lives on the second floor.Copy !req
49. Really?Copy !req
50. He is so much more qualified
than I am.Copy !req
51. Thank you, Dr. Carter!
I'll be back for that bowl.Copy !req
52. Okay, then.Copy !req
53. - Isn't this exciting?
- Yeah, like a junior-high assembly.Copy !req
54. Here comes the assistant principal.Copy !req
55. Susan, meet Margaret Doyle,
one of our new interns from Southside.Copy !req
56. - Maggie.
- Pleasure.Copy !req
57. Wonder what med school she went to.Copy !req
58. Guys, come on.
I saved you a seat.Copy !req
59. You look like hell.
You pull an all nighter?Copy !req
60. Price is sick,
so they called me at midnight.Copy !req
61. Interrupted a very promising date.Copy !req
62. Good morning.
Thanks for coming.Copy !req
63. I'm due in surgery in 10 minutes,
so I'll make this snappy.Copy !req
64. We're in trouble.Copy !req
65. With the closing of Southside Hospital,
we can expect an increase...Copy !req
66. of at least 30 percent in our
normal patient load here at County.Copy !req
67. To meet these demands, we're going
to institute the efficiency standards...Copy !req
68. that made the Southside ER,
no offense, the best in the city.Copy !req
69. All Residents and Attendings will see
an average of 2.5 patients per hour.Copy !req
70. Your patient quotient will
be checked on a daily basis.Copy !req
71. The highest PQ wins a gumdrop.Copy !req
72. The lowest has to wax my car.Copy !req
73. - What about the dead?
- I'm sorry?Copy !req
74. DOAs, train wrecks who croak on the
way in. Do we get points for them?Copy !req
75. Yes, you do.Copy !req
76. But try not to kill all your
patients at once, Dr. Greene.Copy !req
77. We wouldn't want to draw suspicion.
Who handles the scheduling?Copy !req
78. - I do.
- Will you make sure that I'm cc'd?Copy !req
79. Chart review?Copy !req
80. That's me too.Copy !req
81. I want a daily summary.
And budget?Copy !req
82. - It's me.
- Greene, aren't you an Attending here?Copy !req
83. I'm patient ombudsman,
I run the mentoring program...Copy !req
84. and I'm in charge of staff morale.Copy !req
85. Let's even out the duties a bit.Copy !req
86. Greene, you take chart review.
Get me a report by noon.Copy !req
87. - Can I suggest-
- Change is like a freight train:Copy !req
88. You're either on board
or you're grit in the gears.Copy !req
89. Same time Tuesday.Copy !req
90. I think he likes you.Copy !req
91. It was ugly.
It was the ugliest thing I ever saw.Copy !req
92. It was big like a bear and fearsome.
Well, look what he done to me.Copy !req
93. What's this?Copy !req
94. Dante says a kangaroo attacked him
in Humboldt Park.Copy !req
95. That's a nasty cut.Copy !req
96. He had a claw like a razor!
Smelled like an elephant's ass.Copy !req
97. Exam 6.Copy !req
98. Jerry, who was Attending last night?Copy !req
99. Mishkin.Copy !req
100. Get him on the phone, because I can't
read his handwriting. It's like Sanskrit.Copy !req
101. Stuck in chart-review hell?Copy !req
102. I've been here an hour,
and I haven't seen any patients.Copy !req
103. Better pick it up, or you'll
be waxing Anspaugh's car.Copy !req
104. One down. Anyone got
the broken tib-fib in 2?Copy !req
105. Actually, I'd rather
you stayed supervised.Copy !req
106. - Doug, did you meet...?
- Maggie Doyle.Copy !req
107. Maggie, I'm Doug. How are you?Copy !req
108. I was handling my own cases
at Southside.Copy !req
109. It's your first day.
I'd like you to stick with Doug.Copy !req
110. Get on the P.A. and tell the idiot
with the red BMW to get out of my spot.Copy !req
111. Space 37?Copy !req
112. - Yeah.
- Security told me to park there.Copy !req
113. Space 37 is mine. It's been
my space for the past three years.Copy !req
114. - Meet Carol Hathaway, our head nurse.
- And head of the welcoming committee.Copy !req
115. - I'll move.
- Good.Copy !req
116. - Who's that?
- Intern from Southside.Copy !req
117. - An intern with a BMW?
- I thought your car was repossessed.Copy !req
118. It's still my spot.Copy !req
119. Before I do the stitches, I'll give you
some medicine so they won't hurt, okay?Copy !req
120. I'll even let you choose
the color of thread.Copy !req
121. We've got blue, purple, black.Copy !req
122. Jeanie, can I talk to you
for a minute outside?Copy !req
123. I'll be right back.Copy !req
124. You should call a surgical intern
to do those sutures.Copy !req
125. They have more important things to do.Copy !req
126. Have you told the mother of
the patient you're HIV-positive?Copy !req
127. None of your damn business.Copy !req
128. All right.Copy !req
129. It's just gonna hurt for a second.Copy !req
130. Get these charts out of my face,
and get me a sick person to fix.Copy !req
131. Actually, the board is covered
right now.Copy !req
132. Kleinman's been turfed in Neuro.
Figueroa has been discharged.Copy !req
133. And Noyne signed out AMA.Copy !req
134. Your labs on Otis and Fenning came up.Copy !req
135. Okay. Thank you.Copy !req
136. - You're cooking.
- Heal them and deal them. Besides, in...Copy !req
137. 46 hours and 18 minutes,
I will be in...Copy !req
138. - Don't say it.
- ... Maui, Maui, Maui.Copy !req
139. You're cruel. I haven't had
a day off since Christmas.Copy !req
140. Why don't you come with me?Copy !req
141. Yeah, right.Copy !req
142. You're kidding, right?Copy !req
143. I don't know.
You have the time coming...Copy !req
144. and there's plenty of people
to cover for you.Copy !req
145. - What about your cat?
- I can ask a neighbor.Copy !req
146. - This guy's crashing.
- I'm coming.Copy !req
147. We'll talk later.Copy !req
148. Sure.Copy !req
149. Morning. How are you?Copy !req
150. - I've been better.
- Me too.Copy !req
151. So did you see if the triage nurse
brought your chart back?Copy !req
152. - I don't know.
- What seems to be the problem?Copy !req
153. Kidney stones.
I've had them in the past.Copy !req
154. Woke up with the same pain
this morning.Copy !req
155. It starts back here, and it works
its way around front and then down.Copy !req
156. Yeah. Sounds like a stone.
We'll wanna do a CATscan.Copy !req
157. Let's get you in a gown first.Copy !req
158. Do you eat a lot of ice cream?Copy !req
159. Yes, actually.Copy !req
160. - Drink tea?
- Almost every day.Copy !req
161. Why do you ask?Copy !req
162. The calcium from the ice cream
combined with the oxalate in the tea...Copy !req
163. forms calcium oxalate stones.Copy !req
164. A simple ionic bond.Copy !req
165. - It makes sense.
- Mr. Sidowski?Copy !req
166. That's right.Copy !req
167. I was in your chemistry class
at St. Monica's. Carol.Copy !req
168. Hathaway.Copy !req
169. Second row, right near the window.Copy !req
170. God! I can't believe you remember.Copy !req

172. I always knew you'd do well.Copy !req
173. Here you are, a doctor.Copy !req
174. You specialize in emergency
medicine or surgery or...?Copy !req
175. No. I'm a nurse, actually.Copy !req
176. In the ER.Copy !req
177. A nurse?Copy !req
178. That's wonderful.Copy !req
179. What's the story?Copy !req
180. They found him obtunded
at his board-and-care.Copy !req
181. BP's 50/30.
Pulse weak at 130.Copy !req
182. - No tendon reflexes.

183. This IV's blown.
Vein's too weak to hold. What's his name?Copy !req
184. - Johnson.
- Mr. Johnson! Mr. Johnson?Copy !req
185. Seems plenty gorked to me.Copy !req
186. - How old?
- Eighty-nine.Copy !req
187. - What was his quality of life like?
- I'm calling his board-and-care.Copy !req
188. See if he's got a living will. I don't wanna
get into heroic measures if he's DNR.Copy !req
189. - I don't get a pulse.
- He's bradying down.Copy !req
190. - Are you getting through?
- They put me on hold.Copy !req
191. Let's bag him.
Break out the atropine.Copy !req
192. - This is ridiculous.
- It's a crime.Copy !req
193. Every surgical intern
is in the O.R. today.Copy !req
194. Everyone but us.Copy !req
195. Benton let me spend more time
in the O.R. as a med student.Copy !req
196. Man, the man is a sadist!Copy !req
197. Look at this!Copy !req
198. Edson's double bypass?Copy !req
199. No, but jeez... No, Keaton.
That's Abby Keaton.Copy !req
200. Pediatric surgeon.
She used to be at Southside.Copy !req
201. - Oh, man!
- What?Copy !req
202. Benton will try for
an elective with her.Copy !req
203. No way. He just signed up for
Thoracic with the new chief.Copy !req
204. Then why did I see him reading
Essentials of Pediatric Surgery?Copy !req
205. Benton and kids?Copy !req
206. It's the most difficult specialty.
It is impossible to get into.Copy !req
207. It is exactly what he'd go for.Copy !req
208. I don't buy it.
Benton's no Mr. Rogers.Copy !req
209. It's a beautiful day in the
neighborhood, boys and girls.Copy !req
210. Gant, cover Med-Surge today.Copy !req
211. I heard you signed up for a

219. Okay, let's move him.Copy !req
220. Ready...Copy !req
221. and go.Copy !req
222. Watch out.Copy !req
223. - BP's 70.
- He's getting dusky.Copy !req
224. Try for a 16-gauge.
He needs more volume.Copy !req
225. He's seizing.
Someone hold his arm.Copy !req
226. Ativan 2.
Use both hands.Copy !req
227. - Get the needle in.
- He's moving.Copy !req
228. Wait, wait.Copy !req
229. - Do it?
- Now!Copy !req
230. - Rapid infuse O-neg.

236. - They need you.
- I'm going to the lab.Copy !req
237. I'll take them. Go.Copy !req
238. Go!Copy !req
239. Do you pluck your eyebrows?Copy !req
240. Wax.Copy !req
241. They look good.
You do it yourself?Copy !req
242. No, I found this great
place on Dearborn.Copy !req
243. Time?Copy !req
244. Twelve minutes.Copy !req
245. - More epi?
- I guess.Copy !req
246. What's going on in there?Copy !req
247. They found medical records but no DNR.Copy !req
248. - Let's hear it.
- He's got...Copy !req
249. COPD, renal failure,
congestive heart failure...Copy !req
250. prostate cancer, diabetes...Copy !req
251. - Any family we can contact?
- A son. They're trying to reach him.Copy !req
252. If I ever get this old, I want "Do Not
Resuscitate" tattooed on my forehead.Copy !req
253. Get this. His pH is 6.97.Copy !req
254. All right.
He's been down long enough.Copy !req
255. Time of death: 10:06.
Get a strip.Copy !req
256. I'm going next door.Copy !req
257. Mark, he's got a rhythm.Copy !req
258. It won't last.Copy !req
259. BP's 50 palp.Copy !req
260. Guess we better put him
back on the mask.Copy !req
261. Tough old geezer, ain't he?Copy !req
262. So she asked you to come to Hawaii?Copy !req
263. - But I don't know what she meant.
- It seems unambiguous.Copy !req
264. If she meant it as a friend,
that means separate hotel rooms, right?Copy !req
265. - Or you could be sharing a bed.
- Right.Copy !req
266. Get adjoining rooms with a broken lock
and see what happens.Copy !req
267. - You're not helping.
- What do you think she meant?Copy !req
268. Something a little more
than friendship.Copy !req
269. How do you feel about that?
Are you interested?Copy !req
270. - Maybe.
- Get on a plane, Humphrey.Copy !req
271. What if that's not what she meant?Copy !req
272. Three hours divided by seven patients
is 2.33. How's it going, Mark?Copy !req
273. Three hours, one patient.
I'm on a roll.Copy !req
274. - I'll take that plantar wart in 5.
- You got it.Copy !req
275. The neuro come down for Mr. Johnson?Copy !req
276. - Who?
- That gomer that came back to life.Copy !req
277. They wouldn't take him.
They said he's a renal case.Copy !req
278. Try Renal.
We gotta get him out of here.Copy !req
279. - Hey, your wart!
- Oh, right. Thank you.Copy !req
280. Can I have some more soup?Copy !req
281. - Whose patient is Johnson?
- Why?Copy !req
282. He stopped breathing.
They need you in 2.Copy !req
283. I'll take it. Anyone see Jeanie?Copy !req
284. She went on break.Copy !req
285. - More soup?
- Quiet.Copy !req
286. - sighting of a kangaroo
in Humboldt Park.Copy !req
287. Come here.Copy !req
288. The mystery marsupial was sighted
hopping along the Kennedy Expressway.Copy !req
289. The Department of Animal Control
is warning that kangaroos...Copy !req
290. can be dangerous and
can attack when threatened.Copy !req
291. Soup?Copy !req
292. So you asked him to go with you?Copy !req
293. It just popped out.Copy !req
294. Have you guys ever...?Copy !req
295. No!Copy !req
296. But you asked him to go to Hawaii.
That's pretty bold.Copy !req
297. It's stupid. I mean, Mark and I
are friends. We work together.Copy !req
298. And I basically invited him
into my bed!Copy !req
299. What did he say?Copy !req
300. He was appalled.
He couldn't wait to get away from me.Copy !req
301. I'm such a fool.Copy !req
302. How long is Anspaugh gonna be?Copy !req
303. One never knows.Copy !req
304. Dr. Benton?Copy !req
305. What are you doing here?Copy !req
306. I admitted a woman with a lipoma.
She needs surgery.Copy !req
307. - A fat tumor? It can wait.
- She wants it out today.Copy !req
308. All right. Well, then go ahead
and book an O.R.Copy !req
309. Can I assist, please?Copy !req
310. Yeah, whatever.
Just get out of here.Copy !req
311. Solid.Copy !req
312. This guy in the picture
with Dr. Anspaugh, is that...?Copy !req
313. General Schwarzkopf.Copy !req
314. They were roommates at West Point.Copy !req
315. Judith, I'll be in Neonatal.Copy !req
316. Dr. Anspaugh, I chose Cardiothoracic

317. Congratulations.
That puts you on my team.Copy !req
318. But I just found out
Dr. Keaton's coming here.Copy !req
319. Yes. Very, very happy to have her.Copy !req
320. Yes, I know. I follow her work.Copy !req
321. Do I sense a wind shift, Doctor...?Copy !req
322. Benton. Dr. Keaton is one of the
finest pediatric surgeons in the country.Copy !req
323. An opportunity to work with her-Copy !req
324. - She may not have a slot for you.
- Well, I'd like to see.Copy !req
325. I'll give you until 6:00.Copy !req
326. If I don't get the Pedes,
I'm still on for Thoracic?Copy !req
327. If I don't hear from you
by 6:00, you get neither.Copy !req
328. Jane, I'm Dr. Ross.
This is Dr. Doyle.Copy !req
329. I understand you've been
having some pain when you urinate?Copy !req
330. Yeah. I think it's a bladder infection.
I had one before.Copy !req
331. - When was that?
- Last year.Copy !req
332. Any soreness or tenderness?Copy !req
333. Just when I go to the bathroom.Copy !req
334. Are you sexually active?Copy !req
335. - Have you ever had intercourse?
- Oh, no.Copy !req
336. We'll do some tests. When we get
those back, we'll talk some more. Okay?Copy !req
337. All right.Copy !req
338. - What do you think?
- Either an STD, or she's pregnant.Copy !req
339. - Based on?
- Her sweater.Copy !req
340. Cashmere, probably Neiman Marcus.Copy !req
341. A rich girl in a county ER? Doesn't want
to tell her family doctor what's wrong.Copy !req
342. So what do you do?Copy !req
343. Dip a urine and do a pregnancy test.Copy !req
344. Sounds good.Copy !req
345. Sorry, the O.R.s are booked.Copy !req
346. - Dr. Benton sends his apologies-
- He can send flowers for all I care.Copy !req
347. You've got a breast reconstruction
and a thyroidectomy ahead of you.Copy !req
348. - This is important.
- What is it?Copy !req
349. It's a pheochromocytoma.Copy !req
350. - A pheo.
- Her BP is through the roof.Copy !req
351. If we don't go in soon,
she'll stroke out.Copy !req
352. Tell Dr. Benton he has his O.R.
And tell him I like tulips.Copy !req
353. If you have an explanation,
I'm listening.Copy !req
354. I'm sorry. I haven't been
feeling well. I got nauseous.Copy !req
355. If you're feeling ill to the point where
it interferes with your work, let me know.Copy !req
356. It won't happen again.Copy !req
357. Everything else okay?Copy !req
358. Yeah. Everything's fine.Copy !req
359. How's Al?Copy !req
360. He's holding his own. It's difficult.Copy !req
361. I'm sure it is.Copy !req
362. Can I help you?Copy !req
363. - Yeah. I need to see Dr. Keaton.
- You're too late.Copy !req
364. - The patient's still conscious.
- Come back in three hours.Copy !req
365. - I need to talk to her.
- You don't know Dr. Keaton well, do you?Copy !req
366. Just by reputation. Why?Copy !req
367. If you go in there now, the only words
she'll have for you are, "Get out. "Copy !req
368. If I write a note,
will you make sure she gets it?Copy !req
369. I am not a secretary.
Leave it in her box.Copy !req
370. Mr. Johnson, your father was found
unconscious this morning.Copy !req
371. He has what we call
multisystem failure.Copy !req
372. Heart, lungs, kidneys. And he may
have suffered a stroke as well.Copy !req
373. - That's like Alzheimer's.
- No. But it's very serious.Copy !req
374. Did you ever talk with your father...Copy !req
375. about whether he wanted to use
machines to keep him alive...Copy !req
376. if his body were failing?Copy !req
377. Not a lot, no.Copy !req
378. Were you and he close?Copy !req
379. About a hundred miles.Copy !req
380. I live in Boone County.Copy !req
381. I smoke hams.Copy !req
382. Your father is very ill.Copy !req
383. In all likelihood...Copy !req
384. he may never regain consciousness.Copy !req
385. Now, we can use a machine
to keep his body alive...Copy !req
386. or we can give him medication
to take care of his pain...Copy !req
387. and let nature take its course.Copy !req
388. As next of kin, it's your decision.Copy !req
389. What do you think?Copy !req
390. If it were my father...Copy !req
391. I would try
to make him comfortable...Copy !req
392. in his final moments.Copy !req
393. Okay.Copy !req
394. So I'll get somebody
to bring you the papers?Copy !req
395. You'll help him, right?Copy !req
396. - I'm sorry?
- You'll make him better.Copy !req
397. I'm not sure that we can.Copy !req
398. Just don't let him die, okay?Copy !req
399. Make the incision
below the costal margin.Copy !req
400. Straight across, 6 centimeters.Copy !req
401. Now, just like carpentry,

403. Benton, you should've told me
you were doing a pheo.Copy !req
404. Trying to keep all the
exotic ones to yourself?Copy !req
405. What? I'm doing a lipoma removal.Copy !req
406. It's on the board.
"Pheochromocytoma" in big red letters.Copy !req
407. Who the hell put it up there?Copy !req
408. That one.Copy !req
409. Hey, Carter! Simon's letting me
do an appy. I'm going in!Copy !req
410. No. It's called gonorrhea.
It's sexually transmitted.Copy !req
411. It is treatable.
But we have to do it right away.Copy !req
412. Are you gonna tell my parents?Copy !req
413. Whether you tell
your parents or not is up to you.Copy !req
414. I would tell the boy, or boys,
that you've had sex with.Copy !req
415. I only did it once.Copy !req
416. Well, you need to tell him.Copy !req
417. I can't.Copy !req
418. - Why is that?
- Because he won't talk to me.Copy !req
419. When I see him in the halls,
he won't even look at me.Copy !req
420. I feel really disgusting.Copy !req
421. Sorry.Copy !req
422. That's all right.Copy !req
423. I wanted it to be special.Copy !req
424. And it was like I wasn't even there.Copy !req
425. He didn't even drive me home.Copy !req
426. Guys who are interested
in having sex with you...Copy !req
427. aren't necessarily interested
in you, you know?Copy !req
428. If you want it to be special,
you'll have to wait for the right guy.Copy !req
429. I would suggest waiting a long time.Copy !req
430. Like until you can vote.Copy !req
431. So Mr. Johnson's in V-tach.Copy !req

441. - Three-sixty.

442. And he's back. What a trouper!Copy !req
443. Congratulations. You are the lucky
winner of a brand-new ventilator...Copy !req
444. at a cost of $5000 a day...Copy !req
445. and as a bonus,

446. perfect for decorating the small,
sterile hospital room...Copy !req

455. I need to talk to her by 6:00.
My pager is-Copy !req
456. 3376. I can read!Copy !req
457. Look, just make sure
she gets it, okay?Copy !req

459. Only when I get written up
by the chief of staff.Copy !req
460. Ten mgs of Compazine should get
your stomach back on its feet.Copy !req

four years in med school...Copy !req
474. to take orders from a guy
who smokes hams.Copy !req
475. - Other than that, how's your day?
- Just got worse.Copy !req

484. So you've been...Copy !req
485. busy.Copy !req
486. Yeah. Pretty much.Copy !req
487. So about Hawaii.Copy !req

491. I'll have to check on that.Copy !req
492. - You let me know.
- Sure.Copy !req
493. Jerry! Turn on Channel 5 quickly.
They spotted him again.Copy !req
494. He was at the rail yard an hour ago.
I hope he made it through.Copy !req
495. That kangaroo watch continues.Copy !req
496. The kangaroo that mysteriously
appeared on Chicago streets...Copy !req
497. was seen entering
this abandoned building...Copy !req
498. at the corner
of Kensey and Maplewood.Copy !req
499. That's six blocks from my house!Copy !req
500. Armed Fish and Wildlife officers
have surrounded the building...Copy !req
501. - ... in an attempt to apprehend him.
- They' re not gonna shoot him?Copy !req
502. I hope so. That thing
looks like a giant rat.Copy !req
503. - You paged me?
- Yeah.Copy !req
504. Where's the patient?Copy !req
505. There is no patient. We need to talk.Copy !req
506. - About what?
- About my working here.Copy !req
507. Are you planning to tell
anyone that I'm positive?Copy !req
508. No, I'm not.Copy !req
509. Look, I don't agree
with what you're doing...Copy !req
510. but how you handle your patients,
that's your responsibility.Copy !req

512. But stay away from my patients.Copy !req

- Help me!Copy !req
546. The aortography on this patient
revealed a small...Copy !req
547. type-A dissection
of the thoracic aorta.Copy !req
548. Dr. Carter...Copy !req
549. differentiate between type-A...Copy !req

576. Mr. Johnson?Copy !req
577. - Do you recognize this?
- What?Copy !req
578. This was found at your father's
nursing home.Copy !req
579. It's a living will.Copy !req
580. It says your father didn't want any
heroic measures used to prolong his life.Copy !req
581. A will? What did I get?Copy !req
582. It means we never should've
put him on the ventilator.Copy !req
583. We've kept him alive against
his expressed wishes.Copy !req
584. See this?Copy !req
585. Right here? Does that

- Clamp it to keep it in place.Copy !req
627. - It's clamped.

on the ventilator.Copy !req
640. I just need the legal okay

649. You were found unconscious
at your home. Do you understand?Copy !req
650. You want me to take
that tube out of your mouth?Copy !req
651. There is a risk of respiratory failure
if we take you off the ventilator.Copy !req
652. Are you sure that
that's what you want?Copy !req
653. All right.Copy !req
654. What I want you to do is to blow

655. One, two...Copy !req

684. He turns,
looks straight at me and says:Copy !req
685. "Fishing, Pop.Copy !req
686. Fishing. "Copy !req
687. He's a sweet boy.Copy !req
688. Just...Copy !req
689. slow.Copy !req
690. - You want me to call him?
- No.Copy !req
691. I don't like him driving at night.Copy !req
692. We'll transfer you to Intensive Care.
They'll make sure you're comfortable.Copy !req
693. - Is there anything else I can do?
- No.Copy !req
694. I had a good spin.Copy !req

704. - Hi. Is Dr. Anspaugh here?
- He's not here.Copy !req
705. - He was supposed to be here at 6:00.
- He was. He left about five minutes ago.Copy !req
706. Listen, do you have his pager number?Copy !req
707. Sorry. I'm new here.Copy !req
708. Yeah, beautiful.
Thank you.Copy !req
709. You're Benton, aren't you?Copy !req

714. I'm sorry.Copy !req
715. It's a pleasure to meet you.Copy !req
716. Actually, I've been trying
to get in touch with you all day.Copy !req
717. I got your note.Copy !req
718. So you're interested
in Pediatric Surgery.Copy !req
719. Yes, I am. Very much.Copy !req
720. How do you feel about
deep-dish pepperoni and anchovies?Copy !req
721. Well, I don't eat meat, but, hey...Copy !req
722. You could scrape it off.Copy !req
723. Sit down.Copy !req
724. Let's talk.Copy !req
725. Gee, it's cold out tonight.Copy !req
726. Yeah. It feels like fall.Copy !req
727. You off?Copy !req
728. Waiting for a break in the rain.Copy !req
729. How long have you and Al
been separated?Copy !req
730. Almost a year.Copy !req
731. - No chance of a reconciliation?
- No.Copy !req
732. Must be tough to be sick and alone.Copy !req
733. Good friend of mine
tested positive last year.Copy !req
734. I think I'm one of
the two people he's told.Copy !req
735. He's a lawyer.Copy !req
736. Didn't wanna tell his coworkers.Copy !req
737. He's afraid he might lose clients.Copy !req
738. It's gotta be hard
to carry that around all day.Copy !req
739. It is.Copy !req
740. I'm glad you decided to keep working.Copy !req
741. It'd be a real loss
to the patients if you quit.Copy !req
742. Is there anything you need?Copy !req
743. No. I'm okay.Copy !req
744. Okay.Copy !req
745. It's freezing out here.Copy !req
746. Well, good night.Copy !req

750. - What the hell? I'm going to Maui.
- Good for you.Copy !req
751. I'm not misreading it?Copy !req
752. You don't invite somebody to Maui

753. How's that new intern?Copy !req
754. Doyle? She's fine.
Competent, does her job.Copy !req
