1. The timing was good.
Copy !req
2. I just got a job transfer, Gretchen will start at a new school.
Copy !req
3. We're gonna start a whole new life.
Copy !req
4. It's very exciting.
Copy !req
5. In college, my dad majored in cheerleading.
Copy !req
6. That was a joke.
Copy !req
7. Gretchen's got a great sense of humor.
Copy !req
8. I'm laughing on the inside.
Copy !req
9. Soon you'll be laughing on the outside, too.
Copy !req
10. Dr. Park.
Copy !req
11. Moebius syndrome
Copy !req
12. is a paralysis of the sixth and seventh pair of cranial nerves.
Copy !req
13. The seventh pair controls facial expression.
Copy !req
14. Luckily, in Gretchen's case,
Copy !req
15. we haven't found any limitation to the sixth pair.
Copy !req
16. I'm a lucky girl.
Copy !req
17. We'll be taking two slivers of muscle from your thighs,
Copy !req
18. along with their nerves and blood supply,
Copy !req
19. and transplanting them into your cheeks.
Copy !req
20. There'll be considerable recovery time
Copy !req
21. before you'll be able to smile at will,
Copy !req
22. maybe three months.
Copy !req
23. So, what do you say? Are you up for this?
Copy !req
24. Can I sleep on it?
Copy !req
25. See what I have to live with?
Copy !req
26. Nobody knows when I'm joking.
Copy !req
27. Sorry, Dr. Andrews. Yes, I am very up for this.
Copy !req
28. Okay, great. So unless there are any other questions...
Copy !req
29. Do you want to be a comedian?
Copy !req
30. People getting your jokes must be very important to you
Copy !req
31. if you think it's worth the risk
Copy !req
32. of dying during elective surgery.
Copy !req
33. I apologize for Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
34. He's still learning that silence is the right choice
Copy !req
35. when you have nothing useful to offer.
Copy !req
36. We are required to have an honest risk/benefit discussion
Copy !req
37. with our patients.
Copy !req
38. We are giving a lovely young girl a smile.
Copy !req
39. That's a simple equation.
Copy !req
40. Well, it's more than the smile or the jokes.
Copy !req
41. She can't express any emotions at all.
Copy !req
42. No one can tell if she's happy or sad
Copy !req
43. or scared, anything.
Copy !req
44. She's never had much of a social life.
Copy !req
45. Ever since her mother died,
Copy !req
46. she's been completely withdrawn.
Copy !req
47. All I want to do is bring my baby girl back into the world.
Copy !req
48. Don't worry, Mr. Milman, we're gonna take great care of her, all right?
Copy !req
49. Lucy has a post-op infection of unknown origin.
Copy !req
50. Infusing 900 milligrams of clindamycin.
Copy !req
51. It's terrible, isn't it?
Copy !req
52. Yes, it is.
Copy !req
53. Have you been changing your dressing?
Copy !req
54. Every day.
Copy !req
55. Soaking it in clean, warm water? Yes.
Copy !req
56. Taking your antibiotics, one pill, three times a day?
Copy !req
57. That's a no.
Copy !req
58. Lucy, I know I gave you a scrip for antibiotics,
Copy !req
59. along with one for pain meds.
Copy !req
60. Why haven't you been taking your antibiotics?
Copy !req
61. Did you have a bad reaction to them, or...
Copy !req
62. I never filled my prescription.
Copy !req
63. I didn't think it was necessary until it got really bad,
Copy !req
64. and then I was too weak to go myself,
Copy !req
65. and I didn't have anyone to pick it up for me.
Copy !req
66. Okay. Mystery solved.
Copy !req
67. I'm sorry. I know it was stupid.
Copy !req
68. Very stupid.
Copy !req
69. Okay.
Copy !req
70. Hey, Shaun.
Copy !req
71. Oh. Hello.
Copy !req
72. I haven't seen you in ages. What's... What's new?
Copy !req
73. I'm buying an apple.
Copy !req
74. I can see that. Here, I'll get it for you.
Copy !req
75. No, thank you.
Copy !req
76. Thank you, Shaun.
Copy !req
77. What else is new?
Copy !req
78. You didn't want to be friends.
Copy !req
79. Um, yeah, no, I... We... We... We... We're colleagues.
Copy !req
80. You know, we're... Whatever we are,
Copy !req
81. we can still talk. We should talk.
Copy !req
82. I have a new friend. Kenny.
Copy !req
83. Here you go.
Copy !req
84. Thank you, Debbie.
Copy !req
85. Kenny, huh? That's, uh, that's great.
Copy !req
86. Do you have a new friend?
Copy !req
87. No.
Copy !req
88. Okay. Thank you.
Copy !req
89. Thank you.
Copy !req
90. We can talk.
Copy !req
91. You know, we can talk about sports,
Copy !req
92. we can talk about weather, we can talk about...
Copy !req
93. Debbie?
Copy !req
94. Why would you want to talk about Debbie?
Copy !req
95. Debbie was flirting with you.
Copy !req
96. She was?
Copy !req
97. Yes. I noticed her exhibiting two typical signs.
Copy !req
98. Not the trifecta, huh? No, not the trifecta,
Copy !req
99. and one atypical sign.
Copy !req
100. I think she's just trying to be friendly.
Copy !req
101. She gave you an extra dollar in change.
Copy !req
102. And the fact that you didn't notice means you like her, too.
Copy !req
103. Maybe she's just bad at math.
Copy !req
104. My dad said that you're on the spectrum.
Copy !req
105. That's why you said that about people getting my jokes.
Copy !req
106. People always get my jokes.
Copy !req
107. Then you're very lucky.
Copy !req
108. That was a joke.
Copy !req
109. I see what you did there.
Copy !req
110. Yes.
Copy !req
111. They call me "Resting Gretch Face."
Copy !req
112. "Shaun the Moron."
Copy !req
113. Not very witty. I'm obviously quite smart.
Copy !req
114. I drew this to their attention.
Copy !req
115. I'm on a spectrum, too.
Copy !req
116. Somewhere between inscrutable, unapproachable, and...
Copy !req
117. Actively scorned.
Copy !req
118. I don't want to be more approachable,
Copy !req
119. and I prefer people not reading my emotions.
Copy !req
120. They're mine.
Copy !req
121. That's what you do with friends.
Copy !req
122. You really think this surgery's too risky?
Copy !req
123. Possible complications include embolism,
Copy !req
124. hemorrhage, collateral paralysis,
Copy !req
125. asymmetry, brain damage, and stroke.
Copy !req
126. It's also expensive and medically unnecessary.
Copy !req
127. Okay, look straight ahead.
Copy !req
128. There's a two-hour wait in the E.R., and what are we doing?
Copy !req
129. Treating a woman because she willfully ignored doctors' orders.
Copy !req
130. I know what a parasite looks like, and it's not Lucy.
Copy !req
131. So this is a Mom thing with you.
Copy !req
132. Growing up with a whack mother means
Copy !req
133. that you can identify any and all problem personalities.
Copy !req
134. And that is the sole upside to my miserable childhood, thank you.
Copy !req
135. Well, at least you had a mom.
Copy !req
136. Mine died when I was six,
Copy !req
137. and Dad instantly married a child-hating bitch
Copy !req
138. with a butt-load of debt.
Copy !req
139. Morgan, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
140. I didn't tell you to get sympathy.
Copy !req
141. Just that I know parasites, too.
Copy !req
142. Got you booked first thing tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
143. Dad.
Copy !req
144. What? Too soon?
Copy !req
145. It's...
Copy !req
146. You're nervous. I get it.
Copy !req
147. If you have any more questions, feel free.
Copy !req
148. I've changed my mind.
Copy !req
149. I'm not having the surgery.
Copy !req
150. Murphy.
Copy !req
151. Hello.
Copy !req
152. Gretchen's father is very upset.
Copy !req
153. It seems you talked her out of the surgery.
Copy !req
154. No, I didn't talk her out of it or talk her anywhere.
Copy !req
155. I just gave her the list of potential risks.
Copy !req
156. Embolism, hemorrhage, collateral paralysis,
Copy !req
157. asymmetry, brain damage, and stroke.
Copy !req
158. Stroke?
Copy !req
159. Yes, there was a case in Brazil in 2004,
Copy !req
160. and the patient suffer...
Copy !req
161. It seems that you don't believe
Copy !req
162. that restoring this girl's smile is that important.
Copy !req
163. Smiles are overvalued.
Copy !req
164. There are studies that support that.
Copy !req
165. And there are studies that don't.
Copy !req
166. When we smile, we produce endorphins.
Copy !req
167. They make us happy. They make other people happy.
Copy !req
168. When we see smiles, our basotemporal lobes are activated,
Copy !req
169. and we duplicate what we see.
Copy !req
170. Murphy, smiles are contagious.
Copy !req
171. You see?
Copy !req
172. I feel good, you feel good.
Copy !req
173. Everybody likes smiles.
Copy !req
174. I don't.
Copy !req
175. In any case, your smile wasn't sincere
Copy !req
176. since it didn't demonstrate the Duchenne Marker.
Copy !req
177. There was no involvement of the orbicularis oculi muscles around the eyes,
Copy !req
178. which means you didn't release endorphins.
Copy !req
179. You know, if you can talk her
Copy !req
180. out of a surgery she's wanted for years,
Copy !req
181. I'm pretty sure a conversation with someone objective
Copy !req
182. can talk her back into it.
Copy !req
183. Get Park, come with, and keep quiet.
Copy !req
184. Okay.
Copy !req
185. Dr. Kalu.
Copy !req
186. Remember me?
Copy !req
187. "Fish girl"?
Copy !req
188. Uh, hi. Celez. Hi. Yeah.
Copy !req
189. Yes, uh, of course I do.
Copy !req
190. I hope it's okay that I requested you.
Copy !req
191. I'm glad you did.
Copy !req
192. How are you doing?
Copy !req
193. Oh, that's what you're going to tell me.
Copy !req
194. I've been wearing the, uh, tilapia skins for five months.
Copy !req
195. I'm getting really tired of being followed home by stray cats.
Copy !req
196. How's the pain?
Copy !req
197. Compared to what it was?
Copy !req
198. Nothing.
Copy !req
199. Uh, any... any fever, itchiness, or swelling?
Copy !req
200. Nope.
Copy !req
201. Well, it looks very good.
Copy !req
202. But?
Copy !req
203. How much longer?
Copy !req
204. Um, how do you feel about tomorrow?
Copy !req
205. Seriously?
Copy !req
206. I never joke about tilapia.
Copy !req
207. What's the matter?
Copy !req
208. I-I just wasn't expecting that.
Copy !req
209. I...
Copy !req
210. I'm afraid of how I'm going to look.
Copy !req
211. You're going to look beautiful.
Copy !req
212. Tomorrow.
Copy !req
213. I know Dr. Murphy informed you
Copy !req
214. about the risks of this surgery,
Copy !req
215. and some risks are significant and some just aren't.
Copy !req
216. This is as close to risk-free surgery as we can get.
Copy !req
217. It'll give you a smile, it'll let you laugh.
Copy !req
218. No.
Copy !req
219. Dr. Murphy didn't talk me out of it.
Copy !req
220. He inspired me.
Copy !req
221. He helped me realize that this could actually make me stronger.
Copy !req
222. I don't want to run from it anymore.
Copy !req
223. Yeah, she's lying.
Copy !req
224. She's a smart, sarcastic young woman,
Copy !req
225. not exactly someone who's prone to inspirational stories.
Copy !req
226. Why would she lie about changing her mind?
Copy !req
227. Well, when I was a cop,
Copy !req
228. I had a lot of people change their minds about testifying in court,
Copy !req
229. and it always came down to one of three reasons.
Copy !req
230. Fear, confusion, or they were paid off.
Copy !req
231. She doesn't seem confused.
Copy !req
232. And I don't think she's afraid.
Copy !req
233. So Gretchen was paid off?
Copy !req
234. I admit the analogy isn't perfect.
Copy !req
235. It's close enough.
Copy !req
236. Guess who's back in the E.R.
Copy !req
237. You're happy, so I'm guessing it's a non-compliant patient.
Copy !req
238. You misjudged Lucy.
Copy !req
239. She made an honest mistake forgetting her prescriptions.
Copy !req
240. You called her, didn't you?
Copy !req
241. She didn't spontaneously remember, you had to remind her.
Copy !req
242. Is that a Mom thing, too?
Copy !req
243. Gretchen, are you worried that your dad can't afford this surgery?
Copy !req
244. The insurance company is paying for it.
Copy !req
245. Dad...
Copy !req
246. I know it isn't.
Copy !req
247. It's elective.
Copy !req
248. It's medically unnecessary.
Copy !req
249. No one can put a value on your smile.
Copy !req
250. Not bullies, not an insurance company, not even Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
251. In my opinion, this surgery's medically necessary.
Copy !req
252. Gretchen, sweetie...
Copy !req
253. My first memory of your mother
Copy !req
254. was of her smiling at me from across the room.
Copy !req
255. And because of that smile,
Copy !req
256. we ended up with you.
Copy !req
257. And... And my last memory of her
Copy !req
258. is that radiance
Copy !req
259. lighting up the world one last time.
Copy !req
260. I mean, we never had much money,
Copy !req
261. but as long as I had that smile,
Copy !req
262. it didn't matter.
Copy !req
263. I love you, Dad.
Copy !req
264. And that's why I can't let you give up everything for this.
Copy !req
265. Lucy Callard?
Copy !req
266. I'm here.
Copy !req
267. Um, Lucille Elizabeth Callard?
Copy !req
268. Yes, that's me.
Copy !req
269. A Dr. Browne called me to pick up my prescriptions?
Copy !req
270. You're the victim of identity theft, Lucy.
Copy !req
271. There's an impostor using your name and medical ID to get benefits.
Copy !req
272. Did you have your purse stolen recently?
Copy !req
273. Six weeks ago.
Copy !req
274. And you had your driver's license and credit cards replaced,
Copy !req
275. but not your health-insurance card?
Copy !req
276. Is this why the pharmacy refuses to fill my prescriptions?
Copy !req
277. I'm on pain meds for post-herpetic neuralgia.
Copy !req
278. It's getting really bad.
Copy !req
279. Once the impostor filled her prescription for pain meds,
Copy !req
280. the pharmacy must have thought
Copy !req
281. you were overfilling opiates.
Copy !req
282. Oh!
Copy !req
283. It always flares up when I get upset.
Copy !req
284. Don't worry, Lucy, we'll get you your meds.
Copy !req
285. We... We can't.
Copy !req
286. We're already treating "Lucy Callard."
Copy !req
287. Nice game, Tony.
Copy !req
288. Hi, Jim.
Copy !req
289. Marcus, hey. You coming or going? Neither.
Copy !req
290. 15-year-old girl with Moebius Syndrome.
Copy !req
291. Your company denied coverage.
Copy !req
292. No respiratory issues, deformities, pain, she doesn't even drool.
Copy !req
293. She's fully functional.
Copy !req
294. She can't smile. That's a function.
Copy !req
295. Marcus, I think it's wonderful
Copy !req
296. you want to give this little girl her smile,
Copy !req
297. but if we pay for everything wonderful, we'll go bankrupt, huh?
Copy !req
298. And then who are we helping?
Copy !req
299. We all know doctors cheat diagnoses to get coverage.
Copy !req
300. "Deviated septum" gets you a free nose job,
Copy !req
301. "migraine" gets you Botox.
Copy !req
302. Do you really want me to play that game?
Copy !req
303. This isn't a game for me.
Copy !req
304. We're a reputable company with very high standards.
Copy !req
305. Very high bonuses that get even higher with your denial rate.
Copy !req
306. I was gonna suggest we end this
Copy !req
307. before we say something we'll regret,
Copy !req
308. but I believe that just happened.
Copy !req
309. Gretchen's socially isolated, depressed,
Copy !req
310. and that's only gonna get worse.
Copy !req
311. What if she slashes her wrists?
Copy !req
312. You'd prefer to cover that?
Copy !req
313. Are you threatening me with a teenage girl's suicide?
Copy !req
314. And God forbid something does happen to her,
Copy !req
315. 'cause I'll make sure that this conversation's part of the permanent record.
Copy !req
316. Dr. Andrews said smiles are contagious,
Copy !req
317. and I'm testing that hypothesis.
Copy !req
318. Well, I'm not sure your study will prove anything.
Copy !req
319. It might have something to do
Copy !req
320. with the lack of the Duchenne Marker.
Copy !req
321. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
322. But here you go.
Copy !req
323. That wasn't a smile.
Copy !req
324. Sure it was.
Copy !req
325. I want to show you something.
Copy !req
326. You need to follow me.
Copy !req
327. Okay.
Copy !req
328. The impostor has poisoned the real Lucy's medical record.
Copy !req
329. We have to go through every medication,
Copy !req
330. every notation, every test to determine whose is whose.
Copy !req
331. Doing that with zero tolerance for errors could take six months.
Copy !req
332. Well, the paperwork is our problem, not hers.
Copy !req
333. Not if the confusion results in a harmful treatment or incorrect diagnosis.
Copy !req
334. Well, we have to do something.
Copy !req
335. This woman is in serious pain.
Copy !req
336. So we treat her. Just be clever about it.
Copy !req
337. Shaun.
Copy !req
338. Shaun, I've already had two iced coffees...
Copy !req
339. Debbie. Hello, Debbie.
Copy !req
340. Shaun... You flirted with Dr. Glassman.
Copy !req
341. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
342. 'Cause I have a new friend, and he needs one, too.
Copy !req
343. I'm so sorry. Okay. Look, Dr. Glassman,
Copy !req
344. Debbie's facial proportions are close to optimal, okay,
Copy !req
345. .38 vertical and.48 horizontal...
Copy !req
346. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
347. so you should find her attractive.
Copy !req
348. Thank you?
Copy !req
349. Shaun... I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
350. And I think you're both Jewish.
Copy !req
351. Tribal commonality is highly conducive to social bonding.
Copy !req
352. Shalom?
Copy !req
353. Bullies can't put a value on your smile, nor can Dr. Murphy,
Copy !req
354. but it seems the insurance company can.
Copy !req
355. They've agreed to pay $43,750,
Copy !req
356. about 85% of the entire cost.
Copy !req
357. I can cover the rest of that.
Copy !req
358. I swear.
Copy !req
359. Oh, sweetie, please, let me do this for you.
Copy !req
360. Okay.
Copy !req
361. Okay.
Copy !req
362. "Jane Doe"?
Copy !req
363. That's the only way that we can treat you right now.
Copy !req
364. Go home and get some rest.
Copy !req
365. The records department will call you to sort all this out.
Copy !req
366. A year ago, I was playing tennis.
Copy !req
367. And then the shingles hit,
Copy !req
368. and I was laid up for six weeks,
Copy !req
369. and I've been on pain meds ever since.
Copy !req
370. I lost my job, my husband treats me like I'm an old lady,
Copy !req
371. and my daughter thinks I'm too medicated
Copy !req
372. to be around the new baby.
Copy !req
373. Maybe I'll be better off as "Jane Doe."
Copy !req
374. The impostor returns.
Copy !req
375. Lucy? Lucy, can you squeeze my fingers?
Copy !req
376. "Lucy"?
Copy !req
377. She's in septic shock.
Copy !req
378. Order a lactate level, blood cultures,
Copy !req
379. and a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
Copy !req
380. I'll tell Melendez we've initiated Sepsis Protocol.
Copy !req
381. We should report her.
Copy !req
382. She's a criminal and a flight risk.
Copy !req
383. And very, very sick.
Copy !req
384. We should put someone outside her door
Copy !req
385. and arrest her when she's stable.
Copy !req
386. We don't report patients we find with drugs
Copy !req
387. or non-violent people with guns.
Copy !req
388. We do report people who steal from us.
Copy !req
389. What would happen if people who needed our help
Copy !req
390. thought they would be arrested?
Copy !req
391. If they thought they would be arrested for stealing an ID,
Copy !req
392. maybe they wouldn't steal an ID.
Copy !req
393. I don't remember anything in the Hippocratic Oath
Copy !req
394. about checking payor sources before treatment.
Copy !req
395. Strongly suggesting there was no health insurance in 4th century B.C., Greece.
Copy !req
396. We have a duty to treat,
Copy !req
397. and we have the right to get paid.
Copy !req
398. But first things first.
Copy !req
399. Oh, God, I really do not want to be sued
Copy !req
400. by either one of these women.
Copy !req
401. Maintain the pretense.
Copy !req
402. And as soon as she's stabilized, we're gonna press charges.
Copy !req
403. Dr. Park, pull the muscle, please.
Copy !req
404. We don't want any excess gathering in the suture line.
Copy !req
405. Thank you.
Copy !req
406. Okay, remove retractors.
Copy !req
407. Ready?
Copy !req
408. Are you sure you don't want something for the pain?
Copy !req
409. No. No, I'm good, as long as you keep talking to me.
Copy !req
410. Especially if you share something, uh, very painful.
Copy !req
411. Painful? Mmm.
Copy !req
412. Okay...
Copy !req
413. Like the time I mistook my biology teacher
Copy !req
414. for my girlfriend and picked her up in the hallway?
Copy !req
415. Yeah, twirled her around three times
Copy !req
416. before I realized my mistake.
Copy !req
417. That kind of painful?
Copy !req
418. You may have to dig even deeper than that.
Copy !req
419. How about
Copy !req
420. the time I finally found myself in the perfect situation?
Copy !req
421. You know, work, friends, future,
Copy !req
422. something I never really had before.
Copy !req
423. Maybe that's why I screwed it up.
Copy !req
424. You're not responding to the antibiotics like we'd hoped...
Copy !req
425. Lucy.
Copy !req
426. You know, don't you?
Copy !req
427. When the real Lucy Callard showed up,
Copy !req
428. it kind of gave you away.
Copy !req
429. Is there anyone we can contact?
Copy !req
430. Do you have any children?
Copy !req
431. A son.
Copy !req
432. But he'd be so ashamed of me.
Copy !req
433. Where is he?
Copy !req
434. College...
Copy !req
435. First one in our family.
Copy !req
436. I had to choose between premiums and tuition.
Copy !req
437. Your son is very lucky to have such a loving mother.
Copy !req
438. I just wish you got your antibiotics
Copy !req
439. when you got your pain meds.
Copy !req
440. I didn't get either medication.
Copy !req
441. Are you sure?
Copy !req
442. Because the real Lucy was having problems with the pharmacy.
Copy !req
443. I didn't want to risk using the card again.
Copy !req
444. Is she okay?
Copy !req
445. Maybe it's time to move on,
Copy !req
446. take the lesson with you, find new friends.
Copy !req
447. I went to Denver for an interview last week.
Copy !req
448. And?
Copy !req
449. And... We're done.
Copy !req
450. Really?
Copy !req
451. Take a look.
Copy !req
452. Hey, trust me.
Copy !req
453. See? Beautiful.
Copy !req
454. The kid, college, it's just a convenient sob story.
Copy !req
455. Why would she lie if she may be dying?
Copy !req
456. Here's what we don't know about fake Lucy,
Copy !req
457. whether her story is true.
Copy !req
458. Here's what we do know.
Copy !req
459. She's a liar who just found out she's busted.
Copy !req
460. Speaking of lies,
Copy !req
461. that shingles virus that the real Lucy had last year?
Copy !req
462. According to Dr. Spindler at Santa Clara General,
Copy !req
463. she had it the year before, too,
Copy !req
464. and according to Dr. Millhouse at SF Muni, the year before that.
Copy !req
465. She wasn't denied the pain meds because of our impostor.
Copy !req
466. She was denied because she is a garden-variety addict.
Copy !req
467. Well-played, sir.
Copy !req
468. Dr. Park says the surgery went well.
Copy !req
469. It's been too long.
Copy !req
470. What has?
Copy !req
471. She should be breathing on her own by now.
Copy !req
472. Even after prolonged anesthesia,
Copy !req
473. it should only take 60 to 90 minutes.
Copy !req
474. Is she okay?
Copy !req
475. She should have protective airway reflexes,
Copy !req
476. motor activity, and a return of consciousness.
Copy !req
477. I need to page Dr. Andrews, STAT.
Copy !req
478. What's going on?
Copy !req
479. Something bad.
Copy !req
480. Gretchen's glucose is within normal limits
Copy !req
481. and her electrolytes are also normal.
Copy !req
482. And we've ruled out hyper- and hypothermia.
Copy !req
483. It doesn't leave much. What about hypoxia?
Copy !req
484. Uh, she maintained normal oxygen,
Copy !req
485. as well as end tidal CO2 throughout the entire case,
Copy !req
486. and we've given reversal agents,
Copy !req
487. which we will repeat.
Copy !req
488. Do you feel bad?
Copy !req
489. It's okay.
Copy !req
490. You told them it was close to risk-free.
Copy !req
491. They knew there were risks, and I told them, too.
Copy !req
492. Get a CT. Rule out clots, hematoma, bleeding, and stroke.
Copy !req
493. WBCs and lactate are rising,
Copy !req
494. O2 sat and MAP are falling.
Copy !req
495. The Sepsis Protocol isn't working.
Copy !req
496. Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome. Medications?
Copy !req
497. Another antibiotic, ah, continue crystalloids,
Copy !req
498. increase her vasopressors? Low-dose steroids?
Copy !req
499. Give 'em all at try, and intubate her and insert a swan.
Copy !req
500. And, yes, I understand this is out of our own pocket.
Copy !req
501. Um, do anything exciting for Purim?
Copy !req
502. Purim. Uh, no.
Copy !req
503. Yeah, you know, the usual.
Copy !req
504. Mmm.
Copy !req
505. Ate a little matzah,
Copy !req
506. and celebrated our exodus from slavery,
Copy !req
507. which I think is Passover and not Purim.
Copy !req
508. The truth of the matter is, I'm only half Jewish,
Copy !req
509. so only half the knowledge.
Copy !req
510. The truth is I-I'm not Jewish at all.
Copy !req
511. Ah. Yeah.
Copy !req
512. Yeah, my first husband was.
Copy !req
513. So I guess we have our lack of Jewishness in common.
Copy !req
514. You know what, Debbie? I think I-I should get going.
Copy !req
515. Okay. Well, it was...
Copy !req
516. It was nice, uh, finally meeting you, officially.
Copy !req
517. Same.
Copy !req
518. Oh, no, look at that!
Copy !req
519. A 1975300D,
Copy !req
520. one of the most perfect Mercedes ever
Copy !req
521. just got a little less perfect.
Copy !req
522. I beg to differ. If you're looking for perfection,
Copy !req
523. you look no further than the 1967280SE.
Copy !req
524. Cabriolet or coupe?
Copy !req
525. The coupe, an all-time classic.
Copy !req
526. Well, an owner of a 300SL Gullwing might argue otherwise.
Copy !req
527. A Gullwing? Yeah.
Copy !req
528. Can I get you another coffee?
Copy !req
529. Yeah.
Copy !req
530. Iced, large, black.
Copy !req
531. That's it. I know.
Copy !req
532. That's a little bit unsettling, Murphy.
Copy !req
533. Okay.
Copy !req
534. Why are you studying the current of ions during electrolysis?
Copy !req
535. Uh, it's not the chemical kind of transference.
Copy !req
536. It's the doctor-patient kind.
Copy !req
537. I'm dealing with a personal situation.
Copy !req
538. I don't think the Internet is very helpful
Copy !req
539. for solving personal situations.
Copy !req
540. True.
Copy !req
541. But I can't exactly ask Claire for her advice,
Copy !req
542. and I barely know Park, and Morgan...
Copy !req
543. Morgan would be bad.
Copy !req
544. Very bad.
Copy !req
545. I'm a person.
Copy !req
546. Yeah. No, no. Yeah, of course, Shaun.
Copy !req
547. I'd, uh, I'd love your advice.
Copy !req
548. Okay.
Copy !req
549. Uh, so I think Celez, my burn patient,
Copy !req
550. has feelings for me, and I...
Copy !req
551. may have feelings for her, too.
Copy !req
552. But there's a good chance her feelings aren't real,
Copy !req
553. and if they are real, then they may not be permanent.
Copy !req
554. Uh, you know, it's kind of textbook transference.
Copy !req
555. She's grateful and she's vulnerable.
Copy !req
556. And all I've ever known in my life is unrequited love...
Copy !req
557. from Claire and from my parents.
Copy !req
558. And that makes me vulnerable, too.
Copy !req
559. You should call in sick.
Copy !req
560. Lea says calling in sick is all you need
Copy !req
561. to gain superior wisdom and knowledge.
Copy !req
562. She was right.
Copy !req
563. The CT showed no abnormalities,
Copy !req
564. and the reversal agents have been repeated without effect.
Copy !req
565. So what else could it be?
Copy !req
566. Anoxic brain injury, a complication of anesthesia.
Copy !req
567. Unfortunately, we believe...
Copy !req
568. your daughter is brain-dead.
Copy !req
569. What?
Copy !req
570. All for a smile.
Copy !req
571. I made her think she wasn't good enough the way she was.
Copy !req
572. I should've listened to you.
Copy !req
573. Yes.
Copy !req
574. There's just no predicting how individuals will react to anesthesia.
Copy !req
575. Yeah.
Copy !req
576. Park! You just walked out on that man.
Copy !req
577. The last thing a grieving family member needs
Copy !req
578. is to see their doctor tap out.
Copy !req
579. Maybe she's still under anesthesia.
Copy !req
580. Succinylcholine.
Copy !req
581. It was one of the anesthetics Gretchen was administered.
Copy !req
582. Yeah. Now, what if she has
Copy !req
583. a Plasma Cholinesterase Deficiency?
Copy !req
584. It'd mean her body couldn't break down that specific drug.
Copy !req
585. Complete deficiency is extremely rare.
Copy !req
586. I've never personally seen it,
Copy !req
587. and I don't know anyone who has.
Copy !req
588. Yeah, but if she does have it, she's just gonna wake up.
Copy !req
589. Should I tell the father?
Copy !req
590. No, not yet.
Copy !req
591. No way we're letting him grieve twice.
Copy !req
592. Your labs are not improving.
Copy !req
593. Your organs are shutting down.
Copy !req
594. You're running out of time.
Copy !req
595. I'd like to stop calling you "Lucy."
Copy !req
596. You're welcome...
Copy !req
597. Beatrice.
Copy !req
598. What are you doing?
Copy !req
599. Corneal reflex.
Copy !req
600. It's mediated by the nasociliary branch of the ophthalmic branch.
Copy !req
601. What does it mean?
Copy !req
602. It means we were wrong.
Copy !req
603. She's gonna be just fine.
Copy !req
604. Thank you, Doctor. Thank you.
Copy !req
605. Thank you... Oh.
Copy !req
606. Thank you, Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
607. Honey, you're gonna be okay.
Copy !req
608. You're gonna be just fine.
Copy !req
609. I was drawing a bath, and I leaned over to turn it off,
Copy !req
610. and I dropped the pill bottle,
Copy !req
611. and before I could fish it out...
Copy !req
612. All the pills were ruined. So you need a refill.
Copy !req
613. My pain has made me so clumsy.
Copy !req
614. Lucy, you're a liar
Copy !req
615. and a cheat and an addict.
Copy !req
616. We know about the frequent prescriptions,
Copy !req
617. the multiple doctors, and the ever-recurring shingles.
Copy !req
618. You have a serious medical problem.
Copy !req
619. Let me help you.
Copy !req
620. Three months?
Copy !req
621. Hopefully.
Copy !req
622. But we might be able to give you
Copy !req
623. a pretty good idea of what you're gonna look like.
Copy !req
624. Those things by your ears are neuro-stimulators.
Copy !req
625. When we activate them, instant smile.
Copy !req
626. Sound good?
Copy !req
627. Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
628. It's your mother's smile.
Copy !req
629. She seemed like a good template.
Copy !req
630. There is no Duchenne Marker.
Copy !req
631. Her smile is not real.
Copy !req
632. Thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
633. But all the other ones are.
Copy !req
634. All the other ones are.
Copy !req
635. I spoke with Jim Ransler,
Copy !req
636. who made it very clear that we owe him big time for this.
Copy !req
637. Don't worry, Marcus, I can handle him.
Copy !req
638. I'm very impressed.
Copy !req
639. It was all very presidential of you.
Copy !req
640. You really went above and beyond.
Copy !req
641. Yes, I did.
Copy !req
642. I thought I was saving her life.
Copy !req
643. Instead, I nearly ended it.
Copy !req
644. Celez, hi.
Copy !req
645. This is the brilliant Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
646. He'll be assuming your care from here on,
Copy !req
647. though I don't expect you'll need much.
Copy !req
648. I understand.
Copy !req
649. I don't think you do.
Copy !req
650. You see, doctors aren't allowed to date their patients.
Copy !req
651. What are you doing tomorrow?
Copy !req
652. Uh, I'm calling in sick.
Copy !req
653. I think you may still have some friends here.
Copy !req
654. I guess there is one upside to all this.
Copy !req
655. If she hadn't bought the stolen insurance card,
Copy !req
656. the real Lucy wouldn't be in rehab right now.
Copy !req
657. Surprisingly nice.
Copy !req
658. I told her what she needed to hear to get help.
Copy !req
659. Trust me, I get it.
Copy !req
660. Too soft, people take advantage of you.
Copy !req
661. But with your badass upbringing,
Copy !req
662. no one messes with you.
Copy !req
663. Upsides everywhere.
Copy !req
664. You have way more street cred than, say,
Copy !req
665. someone whose mom's a Johns Hopkins cardiologist,
Copy !req
666. whose dad's a pathologist,
Copy !req
667. and whose parents have been happily married for 37 years.
Copy !req
668. Coming from privilege, zero respect.
Copy !req
669. Must be really hard to overcome.
Copy !req
670. I'll call a code. No.
Copy !req
671. There's nothing left to save.
Copy !req
672. Time of death,14 p.m.
Copy !req
673. I'll notify her son.
Copy !req
674. Oh, hey.
Copy !req
675. Um, my homies decided to pop by
Copy !req
676. and, uh, play some Texas Hold'em,
Copy !req
677. so I'm gonna have to take a rain check on that pizza night.
Copy !req
678. You got a 70-inch flat-screen, too.
Copy !req
679. Uh, no. I borrowed yours.
Copy !req
680. Makes no sense for us both to have one, right?
Copy !req
681. Plus homies got to watch March Madness.
Copy !req
682. Okay. Oh, um, sorry, amigo.
Copy !req
683. It's four-player Texas Hold'em.
Copy !req
684. I don't like poker anyway.
Copy !req
685. Hey, Shaun.
Copy !req
686. Look, you're a great guy,
Copy !req
687. um, but you got a few,
Copy !req
688. like, quirks, you know?
Copy !req
689. And that...
Copy !req
690. It doesn't really...
Copy !req
691. jive with this kind of face time.
Copy !req
692. You get what I'm saying, right?
Copy !req
693. I love you, man.
Copy !req
694. I once drove a 300SL...
Copy !req
695. Thank you. A 300SL Gullwing.
Copy !req
696. On the road?
Copy !req
697. No. For 200 feet at the Concours d'Elegance.
Copy !req
698. Oh, in Pebble Beach. That's just as cool.
Copy !req
699. The car show, you know it.
Copy !req
700. Of course, yeah.
Copy !req
701. This year, they're featuring a Rollston Coachwork display.
Copy !req
702. Including the Mercedes SS?
Copy !req
703. I don't know. Ah!
Copy !req
704. But we should find out.
Copy !req
705. Do you want to go?
Copy !req
706. I couldn't.
Copy !req
707. Yeah, no, I...
Copy !req
708. Why?
Copy !req
709. No reason.
Copy !req
710. I just... I just thought
Copy !req
711. that I should make that my first response before I accepted.
Copy !req
712. Can I get you anything else?
Copy !req
713. No, thank you. We'll just take the doorstop.
Copy !req
714. I'm sorry. Um, well...
Copy !req
715. Well, you can bring the doorstop.
Copy !req
716. Aaron?
Copy !req
717. Sorry. Um...
Copy !req
718. The thing...
Copy !req
719. The thing... The thing... The thing that... That...
Copy !req
720. That t-tells you how much to pay, the... The doorstop.
Copy !req
721. Could you call a...
Copy !req
722. Can you call an ambulance, please?
Copy !req
723. Mmm-hmm. Thank you.
Copy !req
