5. You don't know a thing!Copy !req
6. So why don't you back off
and stay out of my face?Copy !req
7. The truth is I'm really, really
good at my job.Copy !req
8. Why change that?Copy !req

23. I think a car full

is less aggravating than this.Copy !req
25. Okay, hang on.Copy !req
26. Straighten up your back.Copy !req
27. Keep your head down.
I'll watch your ball.Copy !req
28. You're on the fairway.Copy !req

Play nine holes twice a week...Copy !req
32. and then 18 on the weekends.
You'll shoot in the low 80s by Labor Day.Copy !req
33. Dr. Benton, I see you have
a thymectomy scheduled.Copy !req
34. Would you mind if I gave it
to Dr. Levin?Copy !req
35. Yes, I would.Copy !req
36. Because Drs. Fecteau and Loesch
are looking for a Resident to assist them.Copy !req
37. - On a transplant?
- A 35-year-old with lupus.Copy !req
38. Her brother's donating a kidney.
I thought you'd like the opportunity.Copy !req
39. Yes. Yes, I would.Copy !req
40. Dr. Carter can still scrub in
on the thymectomy.Copy !req
41. Sure. Unless, of course...Copy !req
42. the transplant team
could also use Dr. Carter?Copy !req
43. Perhaps Dr. Carter could assist
the donor's team. I'll ask.Copy !req
44. Dr. Benton, thanks!
It means a lot to me that you'd-Copy !req
45. Carter, I'll see you up there, okay?Copy !req

51. That's why I woke you.Copy !req
52. I can't believe I overslept.Copy !req
53. Here's some juice and toast
to take with it.Copy !req
54. - You take AZT first, right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
55. Then I can take my nine o'clocks
on an empty stomach.Copy !req
56. Thanks for letting me stay.
And for not asking why.Copy !req
57. Sure.Copy !req
58. I didn't wanna be alone,
bud I didn't feel right calling anyone else.Copy !req
59. I'm glad you called.Copy !req
60. A minor meltdown, you know?Copy !req
61. I was doing great,
then out of the blue, it snuck up on me.Copy !req
62. Yeah. I forget sometimes
for a couple of hours.Copy !req
63. - Then I remember.
- What's that?Copy !req
64. Well, they're playing around
with my meds. The good news is...Copy !req
65. if I start the day with this stuff,
then I can work in my Oreos at bedtime.Copy !req
66. You haven't outgrown that Oreo thing?Copy !req
67. Hell, no!Copy !req

74. I'm resistant to something or other.Copy !req
75. What about some of those new drugs?
The nucleoside analogues?Copy !req
76. Yeah. My docs are trying to get me
into a trial study for those.Copy !req
77. They only take 20 people.Copy !req
78. Why didn't you tell me?Copy !req
79. It's not your problem.Copy !req
80. I might be able to help.
I do know some doctors.Copy !req
81. I didn't wanna bother you.Copy !req
82. I can probably get you an interview.
Where's the study?Copy !req
83. At County.Copy !req
84. Some docs who work in
Infectious Disease are running it.Copy !req
85. It's a hassle.Copy !req
86. No, no. It's...Copy !req
87. It's a simple request.Copy !req
88. - You sure?
- No problem.Copy !req
89. "She reached to hang
his banana bag...Copy !req
90. her breasts swelling
under the pink of her uniform.Copy !req

92. Carly Hallonan. That's you.Copy !req
93. Read the part about the
gentle giant at the Admit desk.Copy !req
94. - You didn't mind he was Neanderthal?
- More brawn than brains. He's a dude!Copy !req
95. - Who wrote this trash?
- Probably Randi. I found it under the desk.Copy !req
96. Maybe it was Lydia. She had a poem
in Good Housekeeping once.Copy !req
97. Well, it was definitely written
by a woman. No man thinks like this.Copy !req
98. No, listen to this:Copy !req
99. "Witchcraft attracted her as a child when
tribesmen on her father's game preserve...Copy !req
100. tried sorcery to heal her shriveled leg. "Copy !req
101. - Weaver's in it?
- You're cruel.Copy !req
102. "Now she aimed her spells
at fellow Attending Martin Bean.Copy !req
103. She nightly stirred and whispered
in a jealous frenzy and, yes...Copy !req
104. - ... perhaps a perverted yearning. "
- Yikes!Copy !req
105. - We should be careful with this.
- People's feelings could get hurt.Copy !req
106. - So how many copies should I make?
- Yeah, a lot.Copy !req
107. Hey, that LOL in Curtain 1
is still waiting.Copy !req
108. I'll get it.Copy !req
109. - Water cannot wash away prophecy.
- Still, we're gonna start with a shower.Copy !req
110. Those who minister to the anointed
must shun the flesh of pigs.Copy !req
111. Refuse the carnal touch of any man.Copy !req
112. No meat, no men. I'm your woman.Copy !req
113. And all we know will crumble
unto dust...Copy !req
114. - Did you call Psych?
- On their way.Copy !req
115. - Don't play into their delusions.
- I was telling the truth.Copy !req
116. The world is delusion!Copy !req
117. And truth shall rain upon thee
with fists of thunder!Copy !req
118. - Okay, let's go take a bath.

122. You are. Dr. Coburn's later.Copy !req
123. So how you doing?Copy !req
124. I'm glad to be out of the house.Copy !req
125. How was the cab ride?
I would've picked you up.Copy !req
126. The cab ride was fine.
I'm fine, Peter.Copy !req

You rescheduled it?Copy !req

need you to be there.Copy !req
129. You're fired.Copy !req
130. - What are you talking about?
- Peter, I cannot work with you.Copy !req
131. The way you bark orders at me?Copy !req
132. "Twenty seconds! Blow! "
Please.Copy !req
133. No, no, no.Copy !req
134. This baby's not gonna wanna come out.Copy !req
135. Carla, look, I didn't make up the drills.Copy !req
136. Well, I am planning on a birth,
not a military maneuver.Copy !req
137. Folks, I'm sorry...Copy !req
138. but Dr. Coburn's been called
into delivery.Copy !req
139. She's gonna be delayed
at least another hour.Copy !req
140. Oh, damn!Copy !req
141. Peter, it's okay.
I know you're working.Copy !req
142. I wanted to ask her
about your iron supplement.Copy !req
143. Go save a life.Copy !req
144. Okay.Copy !req
145. I'll call you later, okay?Copy !req
146. Look at all the typos. You think
I'd put out something so sloppy?Copy !req
147. Sorry.Copy !req
148. I'm gonna go to Rachel's school for
a conference. I'll be back before noon.Copy !req
149. It's only in a couple inches of water.

- Dr. Ross has gone to the dark side.Copy !req
155. Help! I need help!Copy !req
156. - I'm looking for the ER.
- You found it.Copy !req
157. My daughter's leg was cut with a saw.
She's bleeding.Copy !req
158. I'm Dr. Greene.
Why don't you come this way.Copy !req
159. Tell Doyle to meet us in Trauma 1.Copy !req
160. - I thought you were leaving.
- I am soon.Copy !req
161. - It's not that bad, Daddy.
- This is why girls shouldn't take shop.Copy !req
162. - It was Jim Rentschler who did it.
- I'll take a look at it.Copy !req
163. - I got your message.
- No need to come down.Copy !req
164. My pleasure. I called last night.
No answer.Copy !req
165. - I got in late. I need to ask a favor.
- Shoot.Copy !req
166. Dr. Kramer in the AIDS clinic is doing
a trial study of nucleoside analogues.Copy !req
167. - Yeah?
- Are they still looking for subjects?Copy !req
168. Having trouble with your meds?Copy !req
169. No, I'm fine. Knock wood.Copy !req
170. That's a relief.
Wanna have dinner?Copy !req
171. - I can't.
- You'll tell me if I should stop asking?Copy !req
172. Yeah. I have someone
I'd like to recommend for the trial.Copy !req
173. I'll get your patient an interview
and flag their file...Copy !req
174. if they fit the protocol.Copy !req
175. That's wonderful.
But it's not a patient.Copy !req
176. Actually, it's my ex, Al.Copy !req
177. - I'll get him an interview this afternoon.
- Thanks.Copy !req
178. Irrigate. Débride.
Single-layer closure with 4.0 nylon.Copy !req
179. Sounds right.
You're lucky it didn't cut deeper.Copy !req
180. - Was she talking about stitches, doctor?
- Right.Copy !req
181. - You're in good hands with Dr. Doyle.
- Are you going someplace?Copy !req
182. - I'm not on duty.
- You're leaving us with a student?Copy !req
183. Dr. Doyle is an intern.Copy !req
184. Another Attending will consult
with her if there are any problems.Copy !req
185. There is.
I don't really want an intern.Copy !req
186. I don't want her
to have a scar on her leg.Copy !req
187. Am I gonna have a scar?Copy !req
188. - A small one.
- But I'm a majorette!Copy !req
189. Get a plastic surgeon down here!Copy !req
190. We don't consult plastic surgeons
for lacerations of this kind.Copy !req
191. For God's sakes,
don't stick us with a student!Copy !req
192. I am an Emergency Medicine Resident.Copy !req
193. - No, you're learning on the job, dear.
- This is a teaching facility.Copy !req
194. If you wanna investigate a plastic
surgeon on your own, that's your right.Copy !req
195. Like I can afford that.Copy !req
196. Dr. Doyle is fully qualified
for this kind of repair.Copy !req
197. - I'm running late, so I'm leaving now.
- You're not the only one that's leaving.Copy !req
198. Alyssa, get your shoes on.Copy !req
199. Her injury may be nothing to you,
but I bet if it were your kid...Copy !req
200. you'd make sure she got the best.Copy !req
201. - Whatever you think, Mr. Gunther.
- Yeah, great! Just walk away!Copy !req
202. - I owe you one, Kerry.
- Don't worry. I got it.Copy !req
203. Will this put me to sleep?Copy !req
204. No, this is just for IV access,
Mr. Twomey.Copy !req
205. They won't start anesthesia
until you get to the O.R.Copy !req
206. Good. Because I was hoping I could
see my sister before I went under.Copy !req
207. It's a great thing you're doing,
giving her a kidney.Copy !req
208. She practically raised me.Copy !req
209. Our family wasn't too interested.Copy !req
210. Then she got lupus.Copy !req
211. She's been through so much,
you know, with dialysis and all.Copy !req
212. Hang on, this might be her.
Jean Twomey?Copy !req
213. - Yeah?
- Got someone here who wants to see you.Copy !req
214. Oh, my God!Copy !req
215. He's gonna bug me until
the last minute, isn't he?Copy !req
216. If I can.Copy !req
217. Change of heart, crybaby?Copy !req
218. Of course not.Copy !req
219. I already offered him
my stereo in a trade.Copy !req
220. A stereo for a kidney? No, you're
gonna have to throw in the Jet Ski too.Copy !req
221. Okay. As long as that settles it...Copy !req
222. and I am not beholden to my
kid brother for the rest of my life.Copy !req
223. - Does this sound fair to you, Dr. Carter?
- Hey, hey. Fair and square.Copy !req
224. All right, it's a deal, then.Copy !req
225. Deal.Copy !req
226. - Are you going to be with my brother?
- I sure am.Copy !req
227. Well, take care of him.
He's a wimp.Copy !req
228. Excuse me.
I'm looking for a head doctor.Copy !req
229. - Which one?
- Bald white guy, little glasses?Copy !req
230. Dr. Greene. He's not here.
What do you need?Copy !req
231. A few weeks ago
he took care of my brother.Copy !req
232. Now I got this.Copy !req
233. You'll have to take this to the third floor,
past Reception, to the east wing.Copy !req
234. They can help you there.Copy !req
235. Thank you.Copy !req
236. The secret to putting,
since you didn't ask...Copy !req
237. is to change your focus.Copy !req
238. These machines are for idiots. Anybody
can sink the same shot over and over.Copy !req
239. I'm really getting hooked on this.Copy !req
240. I think Randi has a hidden talent.Copy !req
241. She says she didn't write it.Copy !req
242. A nurse didn't write it.
Nurses go home too tired to write.Copy !req
243. Maybe a doctor did.Copy !req
244. No. The medicine's too cheesy.Copy !req
245. She has got you down.Copy !req
246. "The suave Resident cocked his head
boyishly and winked.Copy !req
247. A quick wink.
Almost a reflex.Copy !req
248. She trembled,
her resolve crumbling. "Copy !req
249. - Who's he winking at?
- Huh?Copy !req
250. My character, who's he winking at?Copy !req
251. A lot of these characters
are just made up.Copy !req
252. - Douglas. There you are.
- How are you?Copy !req
253. I'm glad to see you're not swamped.Copy !req
254. - I need your help.
- Okay. Absolutely.Copy !req
255. - Do you mind?
- No. Here, go. Go ahead.Copy !req
256. I just got a phone call
from a friend of mine.Copy !req
257. P.K. Palmer of the railroad Palmers?Copy !req
258. - Sure, yeah.
- Oh, damn it.Copy !req
259. I know P.K. from the club, of course.Copy !req
260. He's a hell of a guy.
A 2 handicap.Copy !req
261. - This floor must be sloped.
- Yeah. It slopes.Copy !req
262. Anyhow, P.K. just called from Hilton
Head. He's down there with his missus.Copy !req
263. Seems their little one stayed home
with a nanny and took a spill.Copy !req
264. Could be a fracture.Copy !req
265. Their pediatrician's out of town.
He asked me for a referral.Copy !req
266. - Have his nanny bring him.
- They're on their way.Copy !req
267. There we go. Right in the heart.Copy !req
268. The parents are flying home now.Copy !req
269. I promised them their son
would get the best.Copy !req
270. I'll take good care of him.Copy !req
271. If you're interested,
you couldn't ask for...Copy !req
272. a better recommendation
to Fair Oaks than P.K.'s.Copy !req
273. Yeah. I hadn't thought of that.Copy !req
274. Fair Oaks is one of the, oh,
25 best courses in the country.Copy !req
275. Really? Maybe you
could take me as your guest.Copy !req
276. - You don't play golf.
- That's a good thing...Copy !req
277. because they don't allow women.
Or blacks.Copy !req
278. - Jews either.
- No, I think they changed that.Copy !req
279. I'm pretty sure they changed that.Copy !req
280. Hey.Copy !req
281. Hello.Copy !req
282. Chris Law. My brother was Kenny.Copy !req
283. - I remember. How are you doing?
- Not so good.Copy !req
284. My mother got this yesterday.Copy !req
285. A $19,000 bill from a hospital
that killed her son.Copy !req
286. My mother doesn't have insurance.Copy !req
287. - I'm sure the Billing department can-
- What?Copy !req
288. Would be happy to make
a payment schedule?Copy !req
289. They don't understand that...Copy !req
290. my mother, who pays every bill,
is not gonna pay one penny of that one.Copy !req
291. She's not gonna pay because...Copy !req
292. I'm telling her that
that bill's a mistake.Copy !req
293. You don't get bills
from people who kill your child.Copy !req
294. You don't pay people who lose your son's
body between the morgue and a coroner...Copy !req
295. so that you have to postpone
his funeral for two days.Copy !req
296. I'm sorry.
I had no idea that that happened.Copy !req
297. Nobody has any idea.Copy !req
298. But you tell them...Copy !req
299. that she doesn't get another
piece of mail from this hospital...Copy !req
300. unless it's an apology.Copy !req
301. I'm very sorry for your loss.Copy !req
302. I'm not threatening to sue.Copy !req
303. I'm sure you have a department
for that too.Copy !req
304. But if my mother gets another bill
from this hospital...Copy !req
305. maybe I'm gonna kick some ass.Copy !req
306. Maybe I'll start with yours.Copy !req
307. I'd report it to Security.Copy !req
308. He was just blowing off steam.
He had a good point.Copy !req
309. The morgue did mix up
the body transfer.Copy !req
310. - How's Rachel?
- Good news.Copy !req
311. She's Marco Polo in the school play.Copy !req
312. - Save me a seat.
- Hey. They didn't have chocolate chip.Copy !req
313. Thanks. Aren't you with me?Copy !req
314. Lydia is. One RN per collarbone,
even for the country club set.Copy !req
315. - Who gets the VIP treatment?
- I get yogurt for kids who wait.Copy !req
316. All right.Copy !req
317. Got some chocolate yogurt
for the big guy with the sore clavicle.Copy !req
318. - Thank you very much.
- You're very welcome.Copy !req
319. You wanna see why it hurts?Copy !req
320. Yeah? Here. Hop down.Copy !req
321. Will you get ice and a sling, Lydia?
Come on.Copy !req
322. Be right back.Copy !req
323. There's his anomalous
left renal vein...Copy !req
324. posterior to the aorta.Copy !req
325. - Can you see that, Dr. Carter?
- Yes.Copy !req
326. We're standing by.
Houston, do you read me?Copy !req
327. Loud and clear.Copy !req
328. This is very cool.Copy !req
329. Our first time on intercom.
We usually have a nurse...Copy !req
330. running back and forth
between the donor and the recipient.Copy !req
331. - Ready for countdown, Fin?
- Ready and waiting.Copy !req
332. Clock starts.Copy !req
333. Why does it become interesting now,
Dr. Carter?Copy !req
334. You want to monitor
your ischemic time.Copy !req
335. Bingo.
I'm lifting the kidney out.Copy !req
336. Basin, please.Copy !req
337. Ever pass the baton in a relay, Dr. Carter?Copy !req
338. I ran the 440 in high school.Copy !req
339. Good. Perfuse it.Copy !req
340. Good. That's it.Copy !req
341. Well, Dr. Carter...Copy !req
342. don't get lost.Copy !req
343. Dr. Carter's bringing the kidney your way.Copy !req
344. - Oh, my God!
- Is there a problem, Dr. Benton?Copy !req
345. No, not at all.Copy !req
346. Somebody wanna sign for this?Copy !req
347. - What's your name, doctor?
- John Carter.Copy !req
348. John Carter, why don't you scrub in.
You can join us for the second act.Copy !req
349. Great.Copy !req
350. Do you see this line right here?Copy !req
351. Come here. Take a look.Copy !req
352. See that? You know what that is?Copy !req
353. That is your first broken bone.
You're officially a man.Copy !req
354. I let him talk me
out of bringing him last night.Copy !req
355. - He said it didn't hurt.
- He's such a tough guy.Copy !req
356. He didn't wanna get in trouble.
He shouldn't be out after dark.Copy !req
357. It's tough to stay in
when it's this warm.Copy !req
358. My mom says I'll get hurt.Copy !req
359. - She does? What does your dad say?
- I'm a klutz.Copy !req
360. - He does?
- He gets a lot of bumps and scrapes.Copy !req
361. His father's quite an athlete, you know?Copy !req
362. Do you fall down a lot?Copy !req
363. Yeah, I'm not supposed to let him
run around without watching.Copy !req
364. You and I play a game.
I'll cover my eye. You do the same.Copy !req
365. You cover your own eye.Copy !req
366. Okay. Ready?
Now tell me if you can see my finger.Copy !req
367. Tell me when you see it.Copy !req
368. Don't look.
Look straight ahead.Copy !req
369. Cover your eye. There you go.Copy !req
370. Okay.Copy !req
371. - See it?
- I see it.Copy !req
372. Good.Copy !req
373. Good. Okay.Copy !req
374. Let's try the other eye, okay?Copy !req
375. So you found it, huh?Copy !req
376. - I did.
- How much have you read?Copy !req
377. I've gotten past the part where
the "alpha-bitch Attending"...Copy !req
378. goes to a faith healer to cure her limp.Copy !req
379. The seduction scene
after that is really hot.Copy !req
380. I don't think whoever wrote it
was being mean.Copy !req
381. It's a tongue-in-cheek romance.
You gotta take it that way.Copy !req
382. - Sounds like you got into it.
- Yeah, it's a hoot.Copy !req
383. I think it's meant to be.Copy !req
384. - Kerry, you wrote it.
- I did not.Copy !req
385. - You did too.
- Why would I waste my time?Copy !req
386. Well, for the money.Copy !req
387. There's a big market
for this kind of thing.Copy !req
388. - Too bad I didn't write it.
- Hey, somebody! I need help now!Copy !req
389. - Is this the ALOC 57 called in?
- He had a stroke.Copy !req
390. - Why aren't you in uniform?
- Day off.Copy !req
391. It's okay, Gramps. You're gonna be okay.Copy !req
392. - Take it easy, Pam.
- He had a stroke. I know it.Copy !req
393. We had stroke training last week.
I did the SAS test.Copy !req
394. - Slow down.
- He's got one-sided weakness.Copy !req
395. I went to take him shopping.
I always go on my day off.Copy !req
396. Give me the bullet.Copy !req
397. 73-year-old African-American male,
ALOC, slurred speech.Copy !req
398. - Loss of motion on left side.
- He's never sick.Copy !req
399. - Vitals?
- BP, 175/100.Copy !req
400. I didn't have a cuff.
Pulse was 140.Copy !req
401. - When did you find him?
- Twenty minutes ago.Copy !req
402. We were closer to Mercy,
but Pam insisted on coming here.Copy !req
403. I knew you'd set up
a stroke treatment program.Copy !req
404. Call Dr. Greene.Copy !req
405. - How's the time, Dr. Carter?
- You're at 43 minutes.Copy !req
406. And anastomosis is completed.Copy !req
407. Dr. Benton, why don't you
move the DeBakey clamps.Copy !req
408. Can everybody see in here?Copy !req
409. Okay. It's pinking up.Copy !req
410. - Look at that.
- Wow.Copy !req
411. That's what I live for.Copy !req
412. The sight of urine flowing.Copy !req
413. Hey, Fin, we got trouble in here.Copy !req
414. - What is it?
- Donor's hemorrhaging.Copy !req
415. He's tachycardic.Copy !req
416. Sounds like a tie slipped off.Copy !req
417. - The renal artery?
- That'd be my guess.Copy !req
418. Let's open him up. He's losing
blood fast. Get me a tonsil clamp.Copy !req
419. Okay, people, let's stay in the game.
We gotta close here.Copy !req
420. That ophthalmologist
has a bunch of messages.Copy !req
421. - He's finishing up.
- Opthamologist?Copy !req
422. You're giving that boy
the million-dollar workup.Copy !req
423. - What do you mean?
- If you're a Palmer...Copy !req
424. you get the full treatment around here.Copy !req
425. You think I'd put a kid through
unnecessary tests to impress his family?Copy !req
426. I guess not.Copy !req
427. You were right.
Retinitis pigmentosa. He's going blind.Copy !req
428. - I was afraid of that.
- Getting hurt at night?Copy !req
429. His parents will want to hear
all the options.Copy !req
430. Possible brain attack?Copy !req
431. Yes. This is Paramedic Olbes'
grandfather.Copy !req
432. Let's get a CBC,
PT, PTT, platelet count...Copy !req
433. fibrinogen, type and cross 4 units.Copy !req
434. Team's on alert.
Malik, record the BP.Copy !req
435. Stick of glucose.
Alert Radiology that we're coming in...Copy !req
436. for a noncontrast head CT.Copy !req
437. BP's 185/110.Copy !req
438. IV labetalol, 15 mgs.Copy !req
439. Sir, do you know where you are?Copy !req
440. - Can you help him?
- What's his name?Copy !req
441. Ralph, but everybody calls him Gramps.Copy !req
442. Gramps, can you tell me what happened?Copy !req
443. Sir, can you squeeze my hand?
Can you squeeze?Copy !req
444. - Did he complain of headaches?
- No. I talked to him last night.Copy !req
445. - Nausea? Vomiting?
- No.Copy !req
446. - Is your grandfather on any medications?
- No.Copy !req
447. - Does he take aspirin?
- No. He hates pills.Copy !req
448. Are you gonna give him TPA?Copy !req
449. That's what he needs, right?Copy !req
450. That's what we're trying to assess.Copy !req
451. - Do you know when the symptoms began?
- No.Copy !req
452. Do you know anybody who might?Copy !req
453. Maybe his neighbor.
They walk together in the morning.Copy !req
454. Can you give him a call?Copy !req
455. Go. Go.Copy !req
456. - CT's ready for us.
- All right. Let's get him upstairs.Copy !req
457. This is what I was afraid of
with the stroke team.Copy !req
458. People heard there's a miracle cure.
They don't understand the risks.Copy !req
459. I understand the risks.Copy !req
460. I've seen patients hemorrhage with TPA.
It's no cure-all.Copy !req
461. That's why we follow protocol.Copy !req
462. The results aren't convincing.Copy !req
463. I understand that you have reservations.Copy !req
464. That's why I'm on the stroke team
and you're not.Copy !req
465. Fine. But if she can't clarify
the onset of symptoms-Copy !req
466. I'd be a fool to give TPA.Copy !req
467. It's just an interview.Copy !req
468. They'll ask me a bunch of nosy questions.Copy !req
469. They have to make sure they
have reliable candidates.Copy !req
470. That's what makes me nervous.Copy !req
471. I don't deserve all this help.Copy !req
472. Everyone deserves help
from their friends.Copy !req
473. Friends, huh?Copy !req
474. It reminds me of when we first met
before we even started dating.Copy !req
475. We were never friends.Copy !req
476. I always had my eye on you,
wondering when I'd make my move.Copy !req
477. See? You're a good liar.
You'll do fine in the interview.Copy !req
478. CT confirms an ischemic stroke.Copy !req
479. Gramps' neighbor was able to verify
that he had no symptoms two hours ago.Copy !req
480. So he's easily within the
180-minute range.Copy !req
481. Look...Copy !req
482. if you're looking for my blessing
on this, forget it.Copy !req
483. I was hoping you'd talk to Olbes.
She's heard from the neurologist...Copy !req
484. and from me that we think her
grandfather is a candidate for TPA.Copy !req
485. - I'd like her to hear the risks from you.
- Why?Copy !req
486. I happen to believe that he'll
respond to thrombolysis.Copy !req
487. But if I'm wrong, he could die.Copy !req
488. She needs to hear that clearly.Copy !req
489. You want me to tell her?Copy !req
490. Who better than a respected colleague
who's on the other side of the fence?Copy !req
491. - I suspect you won't soft-pedal it.
- I won't.Copy !req
492. Mark. Thank you.Copy !req
493. How's he doing?Copy !req
494. It looks like they got the bleeding
under control. They're closing.Copy !req
495. This is a first.Copy !req
496. Usually Keith has had his shower
by the time I get finished.Copy !req
497. Would you gentlemen care to join us
for the postgame wrap-up?Copy !req
498. We find that debriefing can be useful
when there's been a complication.Copy !req
499. Yes. We'd be honored.Copy !req
500. You had a call from Carla Reece.
Would you like the number?Copy !req
501. - No, no. I got it. Carter, you coming?
- Hey, Shirley?Copy !req
502. Can you call Recovery? Ask them to
page me when Jean Twomey wakes up?Copy !req
503. Sure.Copy !req
504. Dr. Kramer, I was wondering
if I could interview this candidate.Copy !req
505. Al Boulet? You know him?Copy !req
506. No, but I'm familiar with his treatment.
I'm curious to see what he's like.Copy !req
507. Be my guest.Copy !req
508. I'm Dr. Fischer. Thanks for taking
the time to fill out all these forms.Copy !req
509. I thought I was meeting a Dr. Kramer.Copy !req
510. I'm helping him out.Copy !req
511. All the information looks complete.Copy !req
512. You mentioned some slip-ups
with your drug regimen in the past.Copy !req
513. So many pills to keep track of.Copy !req
514. I've got it under control now.Copy !req
515. - You began treatment a year ago?
- Right.Copy !req
516. You contracted AIDS through...?Copy !req
517. Heterosexual contact, I guess.Copy !req
518. I mean, since I never shot up
or had sex with a guy.Copy !req
519. You couldn't identify the
partner who infected you?Copy !req
520. No. No.Copy !req
521. I contacted all the women I could
to let them know, you know.Copy !req
522. No one had any prior infection.Copy !req
523. But it was a lot of years
and a lot of women.Copy !req
524. - Now you live alone?
- Right.Copy !req
525. That's the only factor that mitigates
against your inclusion in the trial.Copy !req
526. Participants must adhere
to a strict regimen.Copy !req
527. Participants should have
someone to back them up.Copy !req
528. I'm sure I can handle it.Copy !req
529. And I have backup.Copy !req
530. My ex-wife is around...Copy !req
531. off and on.Copy !req
532. - Off and on?
- A lot, recently.Copy !req
533. I mean, she's kind of back in my life.
Stays over and all.Copy !req
534. She's a physician assistant.Copy !req
535. She'll keep on me.
Make me stick to it.Copy !req
536. - I see.
- I mean...Copy !req
537. once Jeanie takes something on,
she doesn't mess around.Copy !req
538. Ten mgs TPA over one minute.Copy !req
539. Follow with 50 milligrams
over the next hour.Copy !req
540. For a total dosage of 60 mgs.Copy !req
541. Monitor his vital signs
and maintain a diastolic of under 110.Copy !req
542. Now we wait?Copy !req
543. Now we wait.Copy !req
544. In retrospect, studying Mr. Twomey's
renal angiogram...Copy !req
545. we might have predicted
a potential problem.Copy !req
546. Yeah, with the angiogram
and a crystal ball, maybe.Copy !req
547. Look at the short renal vein.Copy !req
548. Do you appreciate that, Dr. Benton?Copy !req
549. - I think he's being hard on himself.
- How did we do on ischemic time?Copy !req
550. - We can do better.
- If you weren't...Copy !req
551. so chintzy with the ureter.
Give me something to work with.Copy !req
552. Let's go step by step.Copy !req
553. I lost time dividing the vein.Copy !req
554. Our biggest deviation
was anastomosis...Copy !req
555. 21 minutes.Copy !req
556. What are you saying?Copy !req
557. She denied it,
but I could tell it was true.Copy !req
558. I bet she wrote it
when she had all that free time.Copy !req
559. Yeah, when she was on suspension.Copy !req
560. Did you get that history from
the abdominal pain in Exam 2?Copy !req
561. Yep.Copy !req
562. - What?
- You little slut.Copy !req
563. - What?
- I see you in a whole new light.Copy !req
564. We know you wrote the book.Copy !req
565. I didn't write it.Copy !req
566. You ought to be proud of it.Copy !req
567. Kerry, did you tell...?
She wrote the book.Copy !req
568. Yeah, nice try.Copy !req
569. - I'd make myself the villain?
- I knew it was you.Copy !req
570. - I didn't do it!
- You thought it was Jeanie.Copy !req
571. Or Carol. I mean, I knew it was an
incurable romantic who was very warped.Copy !req
572. I'm not warped.Copy !req
573. This is cool.Copy !req
574. Watch it. The big spinout, baby!Copy !req
575. All right, hit the button.
Hit the "down" button.Copy !req
576. Hop off.Copy !req
577. I know you've been given a lot of
information. This is a tough time.Copy !req
578. There are a lot of new interventions.Copy !req
579. P.K.'s doctor will be able
to fill you in on those.Copy !req
580. - I like Dr. Ross.
- We all do, sweetie.Copy !req
581. I like you too, buddy. Now, you make sure
you keep these glasses on for me. Okay?Copy !req
582. Hey! Where's your sweater?Copy !req
583. I know where I left it.Copy !req
584. Let's get that sweater.Copy !req
585. Go get it.Copy !req
586. One thing to be careful about is
that he doesn't feel like he's been bad.Copy !req
587. Sometimes kids with RP
feel like it's their fault.Copy !req
588. Well, we'll be careful of that.Copy !req
589. - Thank you, doctor.
- Okay. Thanks. Thank you.Copy !req
590. - Thank you.
- Bye, you guys. See you.Copy !req
591. No holding you back.Copy !req
592. Bye. Bye-bye. Thanks.Copy !req
593. You know, some people think of RP
as looking through a telescope.Copy !req
594. It's a good way to think of it.Copy !req
595. - Doug, I owe you an apology.
- Forget it.Copy !req
596. I was wrong. I have no reason
to ever question your integrity.Copy !req
597. As a doctor, at least.Copy !req
598. Everything's so glib with you these days.Copy !req
599. I don't know what matters to you.Copy !req
600. - Me either.
- Great job, Carol.Copy !req
601. - Did you know she wrote the book?
- Are you kidding?Copy !req
602. She stole the idea from me.Copy !req
603. I did not write the damn book!Copy !req
604. Welcome back.Copy !req
605. You're doing well.Copy !req
606. Why isn't Carl here?
Nobody will tell me anything.Copy !req
607. - He's still under anesthesia.
- Why?Copy !req
608. - What went wrong?
- Your brother's fine.Copy !req
609. There were some complications,
some bleeding...Copy !req
610. - ... and they had to open him back up.
- Oh, no.Copy !req
611. I was afraid of something like this.Copy !req
612. He's stabilized. He's fine.Copy !req
613. I wouldn't tell you that
if it wasn't true.Copy !req
614. I'm gonna go see if they can
move him in here with you.Copy !req
615. And I'll stay with him until he wakes up.Copy !req
616. - Okay.
- Yeah?Copy !req
617. Great.Copy !req
618. - Any response?
- Not yet.Copy !req
619. - Seen Dr. Greene?
- You just missed him.Copy !req
620. Dr. Ross? I'd like you to meet
a new Resident, Anna Del Amico.Copy !req
621. - This is our Pedes Fellow.
- My pleasure.Copy !req
622. Mutual.Copy !req
623. So you're starting early?Copy !req
624. I'm doing a Pedes elective
before my Residency starts.Copy !req
625. We always welcome slave labor
in Pedes.Copy !req
626. Okay, I'll show you around.Copy !req
627. Dr. Del Amico is a pediatrician.Copy !req
628. She's double-boarding
in Emergency Medicine.Copy !req
629. Great. What we need around here,
more overachievers.Copy !req
630. - There you are.
- Hi.Copy !req
631. Can you believe it?
I'm getting out of here on time.Copy !req
632. Al qualifies. He should read this, then
come in Tuesday to pick up his meds.Copy !req
633. Shouldn't you tell him?Copy !req
634. We left a message, but I figured
you'd probably see him first.Copy !req
635. Greg, what's going on?Copy !req
636. I've been asking myself that question
for the last two months.Copy !req
637. I thought I was honest with you.Copy !req
638. That I understood the reasons
you'd be hesitant about getting involved.Copy !req
639. - I guess I missed one.
- I don't know-Copy !req
640. You're still involved with
your ex-husband.Copy !req
641. After how he treated you,
he can still manipulate you to get meds.Copy !req
642. - He didn't manipulate me.
- But you do still love him?Copy !req
643. I don't know.Copy !req
644. - Dr. Greene, can I ask you something?
- Sure.Copy !req
645. Did you ever think Carol Hathaway
might be interested in me at all?Copy !req
646. Did you ever pick up on anything?Copy !req
647. No, I can't say that I have.Copy !req
648. - You haven't read her book?
- What book?Copy !req
649. Carol wrote a book.Copy !req
650. There's some parts about me
that are pretty flattering.Copy !req
651. Did she say anything about me?Copy !req
652. - It seemed a little amateurish.
- Really.Copy !req
653. - I was impressed.
- I didn't read much of it. A few pages.Copy !req
654. You gotta give it a chance.Copy !req
655. Didn't you think
Carol's book was pretty decent?Copy !req
656. The part I read was racist.
Don't tell Carol I said that.Copy !req
657. - You didn't like the Latina nurse?
- It wasn't real.Copy !req
658. I didn't think the ethnic characters
were handled any differently.Copy !req
659. Have you seen Mark?
Gramps' blood pressure is going down.Copy !req
660. That's a good sign.
No, I was looking for him too.Copy !req
661. Look who's here.Copy !req
662. Hey.Copy !req
663. You did it.Copy !req
664. You did it.Copy !req
665. Okay, no fighting. I did it.Copy !req
666. Dr. Carter?Copy !req
667. They're doing really well, huh?Copy !req
668. - Where did you go?
- To make sure they saw each other.Copy !req
669. Two of the best surgeons in the
country let us look over their shoulders...Copy !req
670. debriefing on the most fascinating
procedure we've participated in...Copy !req
671. and you just get up and leave.Copy !req
672. I promised the sister.
I knew she'd be worried.Copy !req
673. Is that a problem?Copy !req
674. I don't know.Copy !req
675. Another message from Carla Reece.Copy !req
676. - It's okay. I called and got her machine.
- No, she left an extension. OB, I think.Copy !req
677. Will you take Dr. Del Amico back?
I'm intimidated enough already.Copy !req
678. - Anna, please.
- All right, Anna. Welcome aboard.Copy !req
679. Did you find a place yet?Copy !req
680. No. I don't know Chicago.
I thought I'd look this weekend.Copy !req
681. - Hey! Hey, guys!
- Oh, my God!Copy !req
682. - It's Mark!
- What happened?Copy !req
683. Stabilize his neck.Copy !req
684. - Where do I find a C-collar?
- I'll get it. Help Doug.Copy !req
685. Hold his neck.Copy !req
686. In-line stabilization.
I got it.Copy !req
687. - Good breath sounds.
- Is he an ER doc?Copy !req
688. Attending.
Give me the collar, please!Copy !req
689. - Get the board ready.
- Slowly, slowly, slowly.Copy !req
690. Here we go.
We'll roll him.Copy !req
691. - Easy.
- First roll him towards me.Copy !req
692. Let's roll him.Copy !req
693. - Slide the board in.
- Be gentle.Copy !req
694. That's fine, right there.Copy !req
695. Okay, roll him back. Go, roll. Roll him.Copy !req
696. Gently.Copy !req
697. You're gonna be okay, buddy.
Now hang in there.Copy !req
698. Let's get him monitored.Copy !req
699. Cross-table C-spine, chest CBC,
type and hold.Copy !req
700. On my count we'll lift him.
Got that? Nice and gentle.Copy !req
701. Real slow. All right, Malik?Copy !req
702. One, two...Copy !req
703. three. Go.Copy !req
704. Alert CT.Copy !req
705. - He's vomiting. Watch out for aspirations.
- All right, let's roll him!Copy !req
706. What's going on?
Oh, my God! Mark!Copy !req
707. Pulse is 120. Resps, 24.
BP's 100/60.Copy !req
708. - What happened?
- We need to put him on a mask.Copy !req
709. - Fifteen liters.
- We need to rule out pneumothorax.Copy !req
710. - Chuny, aren't you with the stroke team?
- But-Copy !req
711. Go back to your patient.
Go on!Copy !req
712. - Come on!
- Now! Get back there.Copy !req
713. Pupils are round and sluggish,
react to light.Copy !req
714. Possible hyphema.Copy !req
715. DTR's 2-plus, bilaterally.Copy !req
716. - Babinski's negative.
- Radiology's on the way.Copy !req
717. Oh, my God, it's true!Copy !req
718. - We got some crunchy ribs here.
- I'll get the bleeding under control.Copy !req
719. - Who are you?
- New Resident.Copy !req
720. Guarding and tenderness.
Abdominal CT?Copy !req
721. You bet. Give him the works.
Come on!Copy !req
722. She was in my office
when the contractions started.Copy !req
723. Her membrane hasn't ruptured,
and the baby's not in distress.Copy !req
724. - Is she dilated?
- Two centimeters.Copy !req
725. I admitted her.
I put her on bed rest.Copy !req
726. With some luck, we can keep her
from going into labor.Copy !req
727. - Thank you, Dr. Coburn.
- You're welcome.Copy !req
728. Hey, Carla.Copy !req
729. Hey.Copy !req
730. Dr. Coburn said they stopped
the contractions.Copy !req
731. - You mind if I sit?
- No.Copy !req
732. You pretty much
have to stay like this?Copy !req
733. Exactly like this.Copy !req
734. For eight weeks.Copy !req
735. - Can I get you anything?
- No.Copy !req
736. No, just sit there.Copy !req
737. And entertain me.Copy !req
738. Never mind.Copy !req
739. What? No, no.Copy !req
740. You know, I was...Copy !req
741. wondering about it, and...Copy !req
742. I think I know when this baby
was conceived.Copy !req
