1. My neighbor Kenny and his
girlfriend go all the time.
Copy !req
2. The rides were actually fun,
Claire,
Copy !req
3. even though they hurl you
through the air very quickly
Copy !req
4. without a proper
three-point seat belt.
Copy !req
5. It was worth the $300 I spent.
Copy !req
6. What kind of carnival will
cost you that much money?
Copy !req
7. It was not just the carnival.
Copy !req
8. Kenny's girlfriend wanted to
go to see a movie afterwards,
Copy !req
9. but I just got
the second edition
Copy !req
10. of Chaikof's
Atlas of Vascular Therapy
Copy !req
11. so decided not to go.
Copy !req
12. And you paid for everyone?
Copy !req
13. I had to.
I lost the bet.
Copy !req
14. Rounds will have to wait.
We have a consult come up.
Copy !req
15. Hunter Denoble, 38.
Copy !req
16. Came into the E.R. this morning
complaining of severe neck pain.
Copy !req
17. X-rays
show anterolisthesis.
Copy !req
18. A herniated disc. Thirty-eight a
little young for that, isn't it?
Copy !req
19. Unless there's a history
of spinal trauma.
Copy !req
20. There is.
Copy !req
21. Hunter fractured seven
vertebrae in his neck and back
Copy !req
22. in a motorcycle accident
10 years ago.
Copy !req
23. He was one of my first patients.
Copy !req
24. Suffered complete paralysis
from the chest down.
Copy !req
25. ...a few months back,
just gnawing pain.
Copy !req
26. Ibuprofen usually
took the edge off.
Copy !req
27. Every day?
Copy !req
28. Uh, yeah, give or take.
Copy !req
29. It's not that bad. Last
night things changed.
Copy !req
30. He couldn't move
his neck at all,
Copy !req
31. and the pain medicine
had no effect.
Copy !req
32. So, he wanted to tough it out,
but I dragged him in here.
Copy !req
33. Yeah, it sounds like you.
Copy !req
34. Feel that?
Copy !req
35. Yeah.
Copy !req
36. And that?
Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
37. I made partner at the firm.
Copy !req
38. I don't like to call in sick.
Copy !req
39. And let's face it, I've spent enough nights
in hospital rooms for five lifetimes.
Copy !req
40. Can't argue with that.
Squeeze my hands.
Copy !req
41. You have any tingling
or weakness in your arms?
Copy !req
42. No.
Copy !req
43. The plain films showed what
looked like a herniated disc.
Copy !req
44. Which would mean...?
Copy !req
45. Artificial disc replacement.
Copy !req
46. Day procedure, he'd be out
by the morning at the latest.
Copy !req
47. You married him?
Copy !req
48. Yes, three years ago in Cancun.
It was lovely.
Copy !req
49. Even though
he's in a wheelchair?
Copy !req
50. - Shaun.
- Oh, no worries.
Copy !req
51. I get this all the time.
Copy !req
52. Sure, she can never wear heels,
but think of the parking.
Copy !req
53. - DR.
- What happened?
Copy !req
54. Pain shot right down
through my legs.
Copy !req
55. Your legs?
Yeah.
Copy !req
56. I haven't felt anything
below my chest in 10 years.
Copy !req
57. What the hell is going on?
Copy !req
58. **
Copy !req
59. * When I saw the break of day
Copy !req
60. * I wished that I could fly away
Copy !req
61. * Instead of kneeling
in the sand
Copy !req
62. * Catching teardrops in my hand
Copy !req
63. * My heart is drenched in wine
Copy !req
64. * But you'll be on my mind
Copy !req
65. * Forever *
Copy !req
66. Mom.
Copy !req
67. Well, there's my girl.
Copy !req
68. I don't
want to see you.
Copy !req
69. But I haven't seen you in years.
Copy !req
70. Don't run away from me.
Copy !req
71. Can we talk? Since I
don't want to see you,
Copy !req
72. it follows that I don't want
to hear from you, either.
Copy !req
73. I just came in
to get antibiotics.
Copy !req
74. My surgeon doesn't work
on Fridays.
Copy !req
75. It feels fine.
Copy !req
76. Sorry, it's not fine.
Copy !req
77. This implant
is definitely infected.
Copy !req
78. Just that one, though, right?
Copy !req
79. Yes. At this point,
Copy !req
80. your butt lift, tummy tuck,
lipo, and breast augmentation
Copy !req
81. appear to be healthy.
Copy !req
82. But I need to remove
this one and clean the area
Copy !req
83. before the bacteria spreads.
Copy !req
84. Well, can you replace it?
Copy !req
85. Once the infection is resolved
Copy !req
86. and you have
a few months to heal.
Copy !req
87. I don't want to walk around with
half of a face for a few months.
Copy !req
88. Isn't there anything you can
do to save the implant?
Copy !req
89. I can't make any guarantees,
Copy !req
90. but if I can replace the implant
without risking re-infection, I will.
Copy !req
91. Okay, Doctor.
Copy !req
92. I didn't understand the lyrics,
but I liked your mom's voice.
Copy !req
93. Is she a professional singer?
Copy !req
94. She is a lot of things.
Copy !req
95. Great mom wasn't one of them.
Copy !req
96. How so?
Copy !req
97. A lot of people have issues with
their parents, nothing new.
Copy !req
98. But everyone's story's
different.
Copy !req
99. How so?
Copy !req
100. When I was in high school,
Copy !req
101. I babysat the kids
in my neighborhood.
Copy !req
102. I wanted to buy
a laptop for school
Copy !req
103. like a lot of my friends had,
Copy !req
104. so I saved up 1,000 bucks.
Copy !req
105. I came home one day,
Copy !req
106. and the money was gone
and so was my mother.
Copy !req
107. And three days later,
Copy !req
108. she came back from Reno
Copy !req
109. with a designer dress
and a guy named Ricky.
Copy !req
110. I never got the laptop.
Copy !req
111. **
Copy !req
112. My mom made pancakes.
Copy !req
113. They were good.
Copy !req
114. Mmm, what is that?
Copy !req
115. I've never seen
anything like that.
Copy !req
116. Maybe a spinal column tumor.
Copy !req
117. Hunter's initial
spinal cord injury
Copy !req
118. from the motorcycle accident that
caused his paralysis was at T1,
Copy !req
119. but that part looks
almost completely normal now.
Copy !req
120. Hunter's phantom pain is real.
Copy !req
121. My former mentor, Sonya Kung,
Copy !req
122. is head of the surgical
residency program
Copy !req
123. at Denver Memorial Hospital.
Copy !req
124. If you want a meeting,
I'll make the call.
Copy !req
125. Why?
Copy !req
126. You're gonna need a job
after this year.
Copy !req
127. You just trying to
screw with my head,
Copy !req
128. or are you actually
being serious?
Copy !req
129. The opportunity is real.
Copy !req
130. I'm trying to be nice.
Copy !req
131. I do that
when it doesn't hurt me.
Copy !req
132. And this definitely
doesn't hurt you,
Copy !req
133. you getting rid of
some competition.
Copy !req
134. True, although you're not high
on my list of threats.
Copy !req
135. This would be a much bigger
benefit for you.
Copy !req
136. Look, I fought to stay here.
Copy !req
137. I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
138. **
Copy !req
139. It's very rare,
but after many years
Copy !req
140. with a bruised cord like yours
that isn't severed,
Copy !req
141. it can start to function again.
Copy !req
142. So, this mass
is causing Hunter's pain?
Copy !req
143. Yes.
Copy !req
144. If the cord is healthy,
Copy !req
145. why aren't I feeling
more than pain?
Copy !req
146. The mass is compressing
the healthy cord,
Copy !req
147. just letting the pain through.
Copy !req
148. We still have to do
Copy !req
149. some more advanced imaging
to map the mass,
Copy !req
150. but I am fairly confident
Copy !req
151. that if we removed it
that could change.
Copy !req
152. You may be able to walk again.
Copy !req
153. **
Copy !req
154. We were able to
clean out the infection
Copy !req
155. and swap in a new implant.
I am very pleased.
Copy !req
156. You think it looks okay?
Copy !req
157. I love it, and you are going
to look great at the beach.
Copy !req
158. Wailea?
Copy !req
159. We went there on our honeymoon.
Copy !req
160. Thank you.
Copy !req
161. Ooh.
Copy !req
162. He's taking you to Hawaii.
You should be hugging him.
Copy !req
163. Oh, I'm so relieved.
Copy !req
164. Satisfied customers.
Copy !req
165. This is why cosmetics
is the most fun specialty.
Copy !req
166. Now, we're gonna
monitor you closely.
Copy !req
167. There is a risk the infection could
have seeded to other implants.
Copy !req
168. Keep me posted.
Copy !req
169. Yes, Chief.
Copy !req
170. I'll take the early shift.
Copy !req
171. Once I'm on my feet,
I'm never sitting down again.
Copy !req
172. I'm gonna take Cora dancing.
Copy !req
173. She's a great dancer.
Copy !req
174. Oh, no.
Copy !req
175. I push myself.
Copy !req
176. No offense. It's my rule.
Copy !req
177. Right.
Copy !req
178. If this works,
Copy !req
179. after a considerable amount
of physical therapy
Copy !req
180. you may be able to walk,
Copy !req
181. but that doesn't mean
you'll be a very good dancer.
Copy !req
182. After years of atrophy
from not moving your legs,
Copy !req
183. you will likely be very bad.
Copy !req
184. You know what the worst part is?
Copy !req
185. It isn't being in the chair.
Copy !req
186. It's that people
see the chair first.
Copy !req
187. They don't see me.
Copy !req
188. You know what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
189. Why would I know
what you're talking about?
Copy !req
190. My brother-in-law's on the spectrum.
So's my assistant.
Copy !req
191. I make it a priority of hiring
people with disabilities.
Copy !req
192. Let me guess. When you first
started working here,
Copy !req
193. no one believed in you.
They didn't know me.
Copy !req
194. They didn't know that I was
going to make a good surgeon.
Copy !req
195. No.
Copy !req
196. You were different.
Copy !req
197. I guarantee you
every other doctor
Copy !req
198. started with a basic
level of respect.
Copy !req
199. It's implied they're competent.
Copy !req
200. We waste our time and energy
trying to prove that we belong.
Copy !req
201. **
Copy !req
202. I'm fine.
Copy !req
203. She's just being thorough,
honey.
Copy !req
204. You've been over my body
three times.
Copy !req
205. Early infections
often mimic blemishes.
Copy !req
206. It pays to be thorough.
Copy !req
207. Is this sore?
Copy !req
208. Maybe a little.
Copy !req
209. What's wrong?
Copy !req
210. It could be nothing,
Copy !req
211. or it could be a carbuncle,
an early sign of infection.
Copy !req
212. Dr. Andrews needs
to have a look at this.
Copy !req
213. This varicocele is raising
testicular temperature
Copy !req
214. and causing your sperm count
to be low.
Copy !req
215. Surgically, I go in,
ligate the varicocele
Copy !req
216. and re-check your numbers
in a few weeks.
Copy !req
217. It's done under a local,
Copy !req
218. so no anesthesia risks,
minimal blood loss.
Copy !req
219. There's a risk of low
testosterone and impotence,
Copy !req
220. but recovery time's
usually a week at most.
Copy !req
221. So, I could have kids, I just
might not be able to make them?
Copy !req
222. As I said, it's low risk.
Copy !req
223. I only mention it because
I'm obligated to inform you.
Copy !req
224. Well, you're obligated to
inform me because it's a risk.
Copy !req
225. It's an unlikely complication,
but, yes, it happens.
Copy !req
226. It's outpatient.
Copy !req
227. I do it right here
in the office.
Copy !req
228. What I see here
is a chance to fix a problem.
Copy !req
229. And I see a chance
to create a new one.
Copy !req
230. I'm... I'm sorry, I have to go.
I have a patient.
Copy !req
231. Look, I see a lot of men
with this issue.
Copy !req
232. Sure, they come in
because they want kids,
Copy !req
233. but I think what they really
want is to reaffirm themselves.
Copy !req
234. And that's a good thing.
Copy !req
235. Thank you.
Copy !req
236. It's a spinal
arachnoid meningioma.
Copy !req
237. Have you seen
one of these before?
Copy !req
238. Much smaller.
Copy !req
239. They usually don't get this big
Copy !req
240. because the pain and weakness brings
the patient into the E.R. fast.
Copy !req
241. But in this case, no pain,
Copy !req
242. no E.R. visit
until it got this big.
Copy !req
243. And it's wrapped around the spinal
cord tightly and fused with the dura.
Copy !req
244. Can we get a fiber-optic laser
and take it out in segments?
Copy !req
245. No, I don't think so.
Copy !req
246. It stopped growing
and settled in this position.
Copy !req
247. But I do think that we can dissect
along the subarachnoid plane
Copy !req
248. down to the largest
segment at T2
Copy !req
249. and remove it in one piece.
Copy !req
250. That's an extension of the mass.
Copy !req
251. Mmm, no.
It's the medullary pyramids.
Copy !req
252. No.
It's an extension of the mass.
Copy !req
253. The pyramids are more central
and the color is wrong.
Copy !req
254. Murphy's right.
Copy !req
255. The extension's tightly
adhered to the brainstem.
Copy !req
256. Who caught it?
Copy !req
257. Jared did.
Copy !req
258. Nice work.
Copy !req
259. Most first-year residents
would have missed this.
Copy !req
260. It's very small on the surface,
Copy !req
261. but I can feel the fluctuance
under the skin.
Copy !req
262. What do we need to do to fix it?
Copy !req
263. We need to remove
all of the implants
Copy !req
264. and some of the healthy
underlying tissue as well.
Copy !req
265. Unfortunately, it will cause
significant permanent scarring.
Copy !req
266. No, no, no, you...
You can't do that.
Copy !req
267. I'll look worse
than I did before.
Copy !req
268. I... I don't get it. You removed
the bad part from her face,
Copy !req
269. and it's fixed. Looks
good, no more infection.
Copy !req
270. Let's just do the same
with the rest of 'em.
Copy !req
271. It's not that simple.
Copy !req
272. When we removed the infection
from Emma's cheek,
Copy !req
273. it was under the pretense
it was a localized issue.
Copy !req
274. If we just take out the
infection from the new area,
Copy !req
275. it could jump again.
Copy !req
276. I won't do it.
Copy !req
277. When an infection spreads,
it often moves very quickly.
Copy !req
278. What Dr. Andrews
is saying...
Copy !req
279. I understand what he's saying.
Copy !req
280. I'm 50 years old.
Copy !req
281. When I went to drop my
daughter off at Michigan,
Copy !req
282. we went to that bar
on Liberty Street,
Copy !req
283. where we first met.
Copy !req
284. I saw myself sitting there
25 years ago,
Copy !req
285. young, confident,
full of potential.
Copy !req
286. Then you raise a kid
Copy !req
287. and look after your husband,
Copy !req
288. a home.
Copy !req
289. You lose touch
with who you were.
Copy !req
290. You... You said it was
an infection, right?
Copy !req
291. Like strep throat or something.
Copy !req
292. That's what antibiotics are for.
Copy !req
293. Couldn't we just use that?
Copy !req
294. We could try strong,
broad-spectrum antibiotics,
Copy !req
295. but I really don't
want to do that.
Copy !req
296. You could become septic.
Copy !req
297. You could die.
Copy !req
298. **
Copy !req
299. It'll work.
Copy !req
300. It has to.
Copy !req
301. The brainstem is complex.
Copy !req
302. Even our best imaging can't
provide a complete picture.
Copy !req
303. So, then, you would just
leave the cyst in him?
Copy !req
304. Other than the pain,
it's not harming Hunter.
Copy !req
305. It's stabilized now
and done growing.
Copy !req
306. But what about the pain?
Copy !req
307. An implanted nerve inhibitor
will completely remove the pain.
Copy !req
308. But I won't be able to walk.
Copy !req
309. No.
Copy !req
310. Exactly how risky is removing
the mass from the brainstem?
Copy !req
311. Everything that
keeps your heart beating
Copy !req
312. and you breathing
is right there.
Copy !req
313. The nerve inhibitor
is a day procedure.
Copy !req
314. You'd sleep in your bed
tonight pain-free.
Copy !req
315. Give me a percentage
on this thing.
Copy !req
316. Don't do this to yourself.
Copy !req
317. I don't like to give
those kinds of numbers.
Copy !req
318. They're population-based, and they don't
apply to your exact circumstance.
Copy !req
319. I understand
how statistics work.
Copy !req
320. But there's a number,
and it's relevant.
Copy !req
321. There's a 15% chance
the surgery would kill you.
Copy !req
322. **
Copy !req
323. I remember the moment I
accepted I'd never walk again.
Copy !req
324. It wasn't when Dr. Melendez
told me after the accident.
Copy !req
325. It was a few months later
when I was in rehab
Copy !req
326. and I was trying to
get up in the standing frame.
Copy !req
327. I looked out the window and there's all
these people just living their lives.
Copy !req
328. I'm trying to fix something
that I can't change,
Copy !req
329. and life was going on
without me.
Copy !req
330. So I started living again.
Copy !req
331. But now there's
something I can do.
Copy !req
332. Hunter...
Copy !req
333. I want to talk
to Dr. Melendez.
Copy !req
334. No.
Copy !req
335. Please.
Copy !req
336. Just go get Dr. Melendez.
Copy !req
337. **
Copy !req
338. You curious?
Copy !req
339. About why I gave you the credit?
Copy !req
340. I assume you thought
it was a set-up,
Copy !req
341. that Andrews thought you were wrong
and you tried to throw it on me.
Copy !req
342. That's very cynical.
Copy !req
343. The other alternative
is that you were being kind,
Copy !req
344. which seems very unlikely.
Copy !req
345. There is a third possibility.
Copy !req
346. I'm proving a point.
Copy !req
347. When you lose their respect,
no matter what you do,
Copy !req
348. no matter how many wins
you chalk up,
Copy !req
349. you'll never get it back.
Copy !req
350. The game's already over.
Copy !req
351. You lost.
Copy !req
352. Does anyone like you?
Copy !req
353. I like me.
Copy !req
354. I've got results.
Copy !req
355. **
Copy !req
356. I know this is her first cycle
of antibiotics,
Copy !req
357. but I'm not seeing
any improvement.
Copy !req
358. Her neutrophils
are through the roof.
Copy !req
359. You'd be under anesthesia
for nine hours,
Copy !req
360. and I'll need to make sure that your body's
healthy enough to handle the stress.
Copy !req
361. Will you tell him
not to do this, please?
Copy !req
362. You don't care what I think?
Copy !req
363. I'm the one in the chair.
Copy !req
364. You have no idea
what that's like.
Copy !req
365. I'm right there with you.
Copy !req
366. Who carries you up the stairs?
Copy !req
367. Who pushes you out
through the sand
Copy !req
368. so you can put your feet
in the water?
Copy !req
369. Well, this way you won't have
to do those things anymore.
Copy !req
370. So you just want to gamble the life that
you have for the life that you had?
Copy !req
371. Cora.
Copy !req
372. We have a great life,
Copy !req
373. but I want to walk again.
Copy !req
374. And I want you to see me walk.
Copy !req
375. I'm not gonna stand by
and watch you die.
Copy !req
376. If you want to selfishly
gamble your life away,
Copy !req
377. you're doing it on your own.
Copy !req
378. I'm doing this for us.
Copy !req
379. No, you're doing this for you.
Copy !req
380. **
Copy !req
381. She'll be back.
Copy !req
382. Dr. Tolles to Obstetrics,
please. Dr. Tolles to Obstetrics.
Copy !req
383. Hey. Uh, I got a page?
Copy !req
384. I'm busy, and I don't like being
tricked into coming down here.
Copy !req
385. Yeah, I know you hate me...
I don't hate you.
Copy !req
386. Seeing you
is not healthy for me.
Copy !req
387. Okay, wait... Well, I just need
to tell you that I was sick.
Copy !req
388. I am sick.
Copy !req
389. I know, you've been telling me
that for years.
Copy !req
390. You were right.
Copy !req
391. I got help.
Copy !req
392. They have me
on mood stabilizers.
Copy !req
393. I'm doing better now.
Copy !req
394. I mean, sometimes the meds
make me feel flat.
Copy !req
395. You know, no highs, no fun.
Copy !req
396. No lows, though, either.
It's worth it.
Copy !req
397. I'd like to try again
to be your mom.
Copy !req
398. I mean, maybe we could just
talk some more?
Copy !req
399. I'll think about it.
Copy !req
400. Well, take these.
Copy !req
401. They need water
or they're gonna die.
Copy !req
402. My number's on the card.
Copy !req
403. **
Copy !req
404. I think I
just won the Tour de France.
Copy !req
405. It's a long surgery. It will put
a lot of strain on your heart.
Copy !req
406. Your cardiovascular fitness
is excellent.
Copy !req
407. Huh!
Copy !req
408. You get it, right?
Copy !req
409. Get what?
Copy !req
410. Why I want this surgery so bad.
Copy !req
411. You'd jump at a cure for
autism, wouldn't ya?
Copy !req
412. There isn't a cure for autism.
Copy !req
413. Well, last week I didn't think
there was a surgery to help me.
Copy !req
414. The surgery isn't guaranteed
to help you walk.
Copy !req
415. Why would you risk
Copy !req
416. losing a person who accepts
you the way you are?
Copy !req
417. You may not find another one.
Copy !req
418. There are a lot of reasons
to marry me, you know?
Copy !req
419. I'm sure there are a lot of
reasons to marry you.
Copy !req
420. Yes. I'm organized, I have
excellent visual-spatial memory,
Copy !req
421. and Lea says I'm refreshingly
honest and fair.
Copy !req
422. I suppose Cora loves me
because I'm determined...
Copy !req
423. I'm pretty smart,
Copy !req
424. committed to helping others,
Copy !req
425. and most of all,
probably because I'm patient.
Copy !req
426. Were you always those things?
Copy !req
427. Were you those things before
you were in the wheelchair?
Copy !req
428. Your autism helped you.
That's your point.
Copy !req
429. You're saying this chair
made me a better person.
Copy !req
430. The difference is
losing this chair now
Copy !req
431. won't make me lose
the lessons it gave me.
Copy !req
432. **
Copy !req
433. The antibiotics aren't working.
Copy !req
434. I told you if they didn't,
we'd be doing surgery next.
Copy !req
435. No.
Copy !req
436. She's going to die
if we don't act now.
Copy !req
437. Honey, we need to
listen to the doctors.
Copy !req
438. I need you to trust me.
Copy !req
439. I can't go back to being
like it used to be.
Copy !req
440. You don't have a choice.
Copy !req
441. **
Copy !req
442. She wants a second opinion.
Copy !req
443. She's going to die.
Copy !req
444. I told her that.
Copy !req
445. **
Copy !req
446. Sometimes, it's tough
to actually get out of those doors.
Copy !req
447. When I was a kid,
Copy !req
448. my little sister had an
accident climbing a tree,
Copy !req
449. a traumatic brain injury,
Copy !req
450. and I woke up every morning
dreaming that she was better,
Copy !req
451. but she wasn't.
Copy !req
452. I took care of her a lot.
Copy !req
453. Brushed her teeth,
combed her hair, fed her.
Copy !req
454. Hunter was my first patient
as an attending,
Copy !req
455. and I had to walk in
that room and tell him
Copy !req
456. that there was nothing
I could do for him,
Copy !req
457. nothing I could do to fix him.
Copy !req
458. And now there is?
Copy !req
459. But there's no guarantee.
Copy !req
460. There is never a guarantee.
Copy !req
461. I'm sorry, but I can't risk
Copy !req
462. losing the man
that I fell in love with.
Copy !req
463. You're not just afraid that
the surgery will kill him.
Copy !req
464. You're afraid
that it might work.
Copy !req
465. You've only known Hunter
in a wheelchair.
Copy !req
466. Walking would be a fundamental
change in who he is,
Copy !req
467. a fundamental change
in who you are as a couple.
Copy !req
468. You're worried that no matter what
happens, you're gonna lose him.
Copy !req
469. Hunter seems to
have a great life.
Copy !req
470. I don't know if I'd risk
giving that up.
Copy !req
471. What if there was an operation
to make you a perfect doctor,
Copy !req
472. never make a mistake, but it had
a, you know, 5% of killing you?
Copy !req
473. Would you do it?
Copy !req
474. That's not a fair comparison.
Copy !req
475. Well, you said Hunter's
doing fine the way he is,
Copy !req
476. but we're talking about
giving him something more.
Copy !req
477. What about 2%?
Copy !req
478. I don't think
there's a number for me.
Copy !req
479. Oh, of course there's a number.
Copy !req
480. Every time you get in your car,
Copy !req
481. hell, every time
you leave your home,
Copy !req
482. you take a risk
something bad could happen.
Copy !req
483. But you do it anyway,
Copy !req
484. you know,
to make yourself better,
Copy !req
485. to make the world better,
Copy !req
486. sometimes just to have fun.
Copy !req
487. Sometimes to go to a carnival.
Copy !req
488. Kenny's not your friend.
Copy !req
489. He's using you.
Copy !req
490. I... don't think so.
Copy !req
491. We have fun.
Copy !req
492. He's got a rap sheet.
Copy !req
493. Mostly misdemeanors,
Copy !req
494. but there's a couple
felony theft cases
Copy !req
495. that were bargained down.
Copy !req
496. Wait, you ran a background
check on Kenny?
Copy !req
497. Well, you start by talking,
I start by gathering evidence.
Copy !req
498. I'll forward it to you.
Copy !req
499. In my experience,
there are only two reasons
Copy !req
500. why a married person has
this kind of cosmetic surgery.
Copy !req
501. Either you're halfway
out the door or she is.
Copy !req
502. Emma loves me.
Copy !req
503. That's what I figured.
Copy !req
504. The antibiotics aren't working,
Copy !req
505. so your wife is going to die
Copy !req
506. unless you get in there
and you convince her
Copy !req
507. that she doesn't need
any of this cosmetic surgery
Copy !req
508. because you are a faithful,
loving husband.
Copy !req
509. How's the pain?
Copy !req
510. You know, I think the adrenaline
Copy !req
511. of actually doing this
is helping.
Copy !req
512. It's the oxycodone.
Copy !req
513. That's good.
Copy !req
514. I'm glad you came back.
Copy !req
515. I never left.
Copy !req
516. I don't want to do this
without you.
Copy !req
517. I don't want to do anything
without you.
Copy !req
518. If you can walk,
Copy !req
519. you'll be different.
Copy !req
520. You won't need me anymore.
Copy !req
521. You think I married you 'cause I was having
trouble hanging clothes in my closet?
Copy !req
522. You're my girl.
Copy !req
523. I will always need you.
Copy !req
524. Even if I could fly,
Copy !req
525. who's gonna remind me to
call my mom on her birthday?
Copy !req
526. Or to floss?
God, I hate flossing.
Copy !req
527. Who's gonna remind me
to be a better person?
Copy !req
528. Who's gonna hold my hand
when I'm scared?
Copy !req
529. **
Copy !req
530. That was nice.
Copy !req
531. **
Copy !req
532. You have to have the surgery.
Copy !req
533. You were distant before.
Copy !req
534. Since the surgery,
you can't get enough of me.
Copy !req
535. It worked.
You're happy, I'm happy.
Copy !req
536. I love you.
I always have loved you.
Copy !req
537. I always will.
You stopped loving me.
Copy !req
538. No. Never.
Copy !req
539. If you were in love with me, you
never would've cheated on me.
Copy !req
540. Barry,
Copy !req
541. please, no more lies.
Copy !req
542. You were never home.
We never talked.
Copy !req
543. You were never there.
Copy !req
544. There was never another woman.
Copy !req
545. I was gambling... A lot.
Copy !req
546. I did it because I was ashamed
of the man that I'd become.
Copy !req
547. When we got married,
I promised you the world,
Copy !req
548. and instead I gave you
a mediocre life.
Copy !req
549. When I was up,
it made me feel like a winner.
Copy !req
550. And I was too embarrassed to let you see
me like that, so I hid it from you.
Copy !req
551. **
Copy !req
552. She's gonna do the surgery.
Copy !req
553. Thank you.
Copy !req
554. **
Copy !req
555. Andrews needs an O.R.
for Emma Newton.
Copy !req
556. **
Copy !req
557. Claire, you're beautiful, smart,
and very good at your job.
Copy !req
558. Thank you, Shaun. That's a
very sweet thing to say.
Copy !req
559. Would you ever date someone
with a disability?
Copy !req
560. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
561. You could choose the
ideal mate, Claire.
Copy !req
562. Why would you want
the unnecessary burden?
Copy !req
563. Everyone is dealing
with something.
Copy !req
564. We just have to love
other people for who they are
Copy !req
565. and hope they love us, too.
Copy !req
566. O.R. 1's prepped for Hunter.
Copy !req
567. I'll join you in a minute.
Copy !req
568. **
Copy !req
569. So, what changed her mind?
Copy !req
570. Jared did.
Copy !req
571. Morgan, you're my first assist.
Copy !req
572. **
Copy !req
573. Make the call.
Copy !req
574. Thanks.
Copy !req
575. **
Copy !req
576. This is as far as you can go.
Copy !req
577. Nurse Matthews will take you
to the waiting room.
Copy !req
578. Okay.
Copy !req
579. Can I, uh...
Can I give him a kiss?
Copy !req
580. Of course.
Copy !req
581. **
Copy !req
582. I can't do this.
Copy !req
583. Yes, you can.
Copy !req
584. This is what you do
in a relationship, right?
Copy !req
585. You take chances, together.
Copy !req
586. Okay.
Copy !req
587. **
Copy !req
588. That's a large tissue
defect in the left breast.
Copy !req
589. If we'd been
in here six hours ago,
Copy !req
590. I could have salvaged
more underlying muscle tissue.
Copy !req
591. I'm noticing
her heart rate jump.
Copy !req
592. You seeing that, JL?
Copy !req
593. I am now.
Copy !req
594. How's her surgical sites?
Copy !req
595. I'm not seeing any bleeding.
Copy !req
596. Morgan, what about your side?
Copy !req
597. Everything
looks good here.
Copy !req
598. Maybe the anesthesia's light?
Copy !req
599. Nope. No, something's
definitely happening.
Copy !req
600. Jared's right.
Copy !req
601. Suction, Claire.
Copy !req
602. Give me a 25 on a 130.
Copy !req
603. All right, Murphy, I want you
to cut right under my forceps
Copy !req
604. very carefully.
Copy !req
605. Section's cut.
Copy !req
606. How are
the motor evoked potentials?
Copy !req
607. Signal's coming through,
spinal cord's functioning normally.
Copy !req
608. The mass has fully
encased the medullary cord.
Copy !req
609. Give me the ferromagnetic wand.
Copy !req
610. I can't get the caudal end
clear of the underlying cord.
Copy !req
611. Got
a big drop in potentials.
Copy !req
612. We are compressing
his brainstem.
Copy !req
613. What's his pressure?
Copy !req
614. Mean arterial pressure's 70.
Copy !req
615. I got nothing now.
Copy !req
616. Push IV fluids.
Keep that MAP above 90.
Copy !req
617. Hunter's going
into neurogenic shock.
Copy !req
618. We need to stop the surgery.
Copy !req
619. I'm almost there.
20 seconds.
Copy !req
620. Pressure's 60.
Push vasopressors.
Copy !req
621. The last piece is right there.
Copy !req
622. It's probably edema.
Push 100 of dexamethasone.
Copy !req
623. Still nothing.
Copy !req
624. He's dying.
Copy !req
625. It's one
damn centimeter of tissue.
Copy !req
626. All clear.
Copy !req
627. That's her second dose of
amiodarone. She's not responding.
Copy !req
628. She's thrown
her septic embolism.
Copy !req
629. I'm cracking her chest.
Copy !req
630. **
Copy !req
631. Ten joules. Clear.
Copy !req
632. Again.
Copy !req
633. Clear.
Copy !req
634. Starting
cardiac massage.
Copy !req
635. **
Copy !req
636. It's time to call it.
Copy !req
637. Time of death, 10:23.
Copy !req
638. **
Copy !req
639. **
Copy !req
640. **
Copy !req
641. Welcome back, Hunter.
Copy !req
642. The mass was tightly adhered
in some spots,
Copy !req
643. so we're not exactly sure what to expect
moving forward. But the cord looked healthy.
Copy !req
644. We're gonna be bringing in several
specialists to work with you.
Copy !req
645. The first will be
a neurophysiatrist...
Copy !req
646. Thank you.
Thank you.
Copy !req
647. Thank you.
I'm grateful to all of you.
Copy !req
648. Would you mind if we talked
about the rest of this later?
Copy !req
649. I just want to sit with my wife.
Copy !req
650. Thank you.
Copy !req
651. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Copy !req
652. **
Copy !req
653. **
Copy !req
654. I met a couple today
that lost their way.
Copy !req
655. They loved each other,
Copy !req
656. but by the time they remembered
what really mattered,
Copy !req
657. it was too late.
Copy !req
658. I don't want us to be like them.
Copy !req
659. I want to be
fully committed to you.
Copy !req
660. I love you, too.
Copy !req
661. There's a surgery I could have
that should make me fertile,
Copy !req
662. but there's a risk of impotency.
Copy !req
663. What do you want to do?
Copy !req
664. I want to give you
what you want,
Copy !req
665. what we want, a family.
Copy !req
666. We are a family.
Copy !req
667. Yes, I want children,
Copy !req
668. and there are many ways
to do that,
Copy !req
669. which we'll explore together.
Copy !req
670. But I draw the line at anything
that risks our sex life.
Copy !req
671. **
Copy !req
672. It's just one night a week,
Copy !req
673. but I think this could be
my big break, you know?
Copy !req
674. Well, you always had
a beautiful voice.
Copy !req
675. Well, everyone's
got one thing, right?
Copy !req
676. But enough about me.
I want to hear about you.
Copy !req
677. Do you have a man?
Copy !req
678. I did.
Copy !req
679. Pretty young thing
should have plenty of choices.
Copy !req
680. Hmm, I'm not looking to
complicate my life right now.
Copy !req
681. Hmm.
Copy !req
682. Still looking after
everyone else but yourself,
Copy !req
683. like you did for me.
Copy !req
684. * Set your dreams
where nobody hides
Copy !req
685. You know,
I know brag to everyone.
Copy !req
686. "My baby.
She's a surgeon."
Copy !req
687. Surgical resident.
Copy !req
688. Right, sorry.
Copy !req
689. You like it?
Copy !req
690. I love it.
Copy !req
691. * Give your tears to the tide
Copy !req
692. Where are you staying? You're...
Are you in town for a while?
Copy !req
693. Yeah.
Copy !req
694. I'd like to be closer to you.
Copy !req
695. **
Copy !req
696. I found a place.
Copy !req
697. You'd like it,
Copy !req
698. but I just need to put up
first and last.
Copy !req
699. * No time
Copy !req
700. I'll pay you back.
Copy !req
701. **
Copy !req
702. How much do you need?
Copy !req
703. $2,500.
Copy !req
704. Plus I have to get furniture
and, you know, all of that.
Copy !req
705. I thought maybe you could
help me pick that stuff out.
Copy !req
706. You've always been
so good at that.
Copy !req
707. I really appreciate it.
I'm good for it.
Copy !req
708. **
Copy !req
709. **
Copy !req
710. * Set your dreams
where nobody hides
Copy !req
711. Uh, Celeste isn't coming.
She broke up with me.
Copy !req
712. I hate her.
Copy !req
713. But I'm not gonna let that
ruin our night.
Copy !req
714. That's what friends are for.
Copy !req
715. They got each other's backs,
rain or shine.
Copy !req
716. By the by, I found a $20
in your battery drawer,
Copy !req
717. so I got us Chinese food.
Copy !req
718. Don't thank me.
I don't like Chinese food.
Copy !req
719. Aw, come on now.
Copy !req
720. Trust me, everybody likes
Ma Jong's Kung Pao.
Copy !req
721. * Set your dreams
where nobody hides
Copy !req
722. There you go.
Copy !req
723. I'm pretty torn up about that Celeste
thing. She was a real keeper.
Copy !req
724. You said you hated Celeste.
Copy !req
725. I do.
I... I hate her 'cause...
Copy !req
726. I don't know...
I kind of love her.
Copy !req
727. This tastes terrible.
Copy !req
728. Okay,
then he hates Chinese food.
Copy !req
729. More for me.
Copy !req
730. Plain white rice?
Copy !req
731. * No time
Copy !req
732. Oh, uh, I got a gaming console,
Copy !req
733. and I hooked it up to
your bad boy over there.
Copy !req
734. We can play some Mortal Kombat.
Copy !req
735. **
Copy !req
736. Come on.
Copy !req
737. * No time *
Copy !req
738. We doing this or what?
Copy !req
739. It sounds fun.
Copy !req
740. **
Copy !req
741. Yeah, there you go.
Copy !req
742. This one's you.
Copy !req
743. That's you on the left
right there.
Copy !req
744. Okay.
Yeah.
Copy !req
745. You got four arms, but
you're naked, so here we go.
Copy !req
746. I gave you
a pneumothorax.
Copy !req
747. Ah, I didn't realize
how bloody this game was.
Copy !req
748. Ooh, a fireball.
I got you there.
Copy !req
749. Have you played this before?
Copy !req
750. That looks like
a spinal fracture.
Copy !req
751. Yeah, I'd say... I'd say
there's a huge fracture there.
Copy !req
752. You died.
Copy !req
753. **
Copy !req
