1. Remember how I told you
my parents drop in unannounced?
Copy !req
2. - Mm.
- I just got a text.
Copy !req
3. They are coming here tomorrow.
Copy !req
4. Okay.
Copy !req
5. It's not "okay," Shaun, it's an ambush.
Copy !req
6. My parents don't come to visit,
they come to judge.
Copy !req
7. They hate everyone I date,
Copy !req
8. which means they're gonna ask you
a ton of awkward questions.
Copy !req
9. It's going to be uncomfortable.
Copy !req
10. Very.
Copy !req
11. Okay.
Copy !req
12. You hate surprises.
Why aren't you more thrown by this?
Copy !req
13. Because it's not a surprise.
Copy !req
14. They're behaving exactly
the way you said.
Copy !req
15. So a disaster is fine
as long as it's a predictable disaster?
Copy !req
16. A disaster implies consequences.
Copy !req
17. We're adults.
Copy !req
18. Why would it matter
what your parents think?
Copy !req
19. I don't know, because they're parents.
Copy !req
20. Doesn't it bother you
Copy !req
21. that your grumpy second dad Glassman
still doesn't like me?
Copy !req
22. - Dr. Glassman likes you.
- No, he doesn't.
Copy !req
23. - I have to go.
- Fine.
Copy !req
24. But I'm gonna text you
some talking points.
Copy !req
25. Mostly subjects to avoid.
Copy !req
26. And it's gonna be a very long list.
Copy !req
27. How long has she had this wound?
Copy !req
28. Uh…
Copy !req
29. She fell off the vault two months ago.
Copy !req
30. Oh. Slow healing
and signs of oral bruising.
Copy !req
31. Are you on a restricted diet?
Copy !req
32. Coach put me on a performance diet.
Copy !req
33. High protein, high fiber.
Copy !req
34. I can show you her training log.
It's very standard stuff.
Copy !req
35. Although the noodles that she likes,
Copy !req
36. they did a number on my stomach, too.
Copy !req
37. - What noodles?
- Konjac.
Copy !req
38. Girls on the squad eat them all the time.
Copy !req
39. Konjac noodles were banned in Australia
several years ago.
Copy !req
40. They're dangerous, basically indigestible.
Copy !req
41. We will get another doctor
to assess your symptoms and do a workup.
Copy !req
42. But we need to get Darya
to Imaging right away.
Copy !req
43. I review my schedule,
Copy !req
44. starting with the last appointment
and working backwards.
Copy !req
45. It's an effective technique.
Copy !req
46. You might want to write this down.
Copy !req
47. Uncle Marcus, we had a deal.
Copy !req
48. No special attention.
Copy !req
49. That deal's off.
Copy !req
50. Livvy, you're struggling,
Copy !req
51. and I can't sit on the sidelines anymore.
Copy !req
52. But special treatment from my uncle,
it's only going to make things worse.
Copy !req
53. I owe it to you,
and I owe it to this hospital.
Copy !req
54. I know you have unique talent.
Copy !req
55. So you've noticed
both that I'm screwing up
Copy !req
56. and that I have unique talent?
Copy !req
57. I noticed the talent
long before you started here.
Copy !req
58. Aunt Tilly's annual barbecue.
Copy !req
59. You gave this to me
when you were five years old.
Copy !req
60. And that moment, I knew you were special.
Copy !req
61. Hmm.
Copy !req
62. Giant mass of fiber blocking
entry to her intestines.
Copy !req
63. Her blood tests also show low calcium
Copy !req
64. and other nutritional deficiencies.
Copy !req
65. Can I see the 3D reconstructed images?
Copy !req
66. It's unlikely to pass on its own.
Copy !req
67. We'll have to break it up
and remove it endoscopically.
Copy !req
68. She also needs to quit gymnastics.
Copy !req
69. She has severe osteoporosis
with compression fractures
Copy !req
70. in almost all
of the thoracic vertebrae.
Copy !req
71. - Huh.
- Interesting.
Copy !req
72. She is a 14-year-old girl with the bone
density of an 80-year-old woman.
Copy !req
73. You have kyphoscoliosis,
Copy !req
74. caused by insufficient diet
and overtraining.
Copy !req
75. We need to surgically stabilize
across the deformity
Copy !req
76. to prevent the spine
from failure and paralysis.
Copy !req
77. Spinal fusion…
Copy !req
78. That means that she can't compete, right?
Copy !req
79. Yes.
Copy !req
80. And the Games,
they're less than a year away.
Copy !req
81. Could we wait until after
to have the surgery?
Copy !req
82. If left untreated,
Copy !req
83. there's a 20% chance of progression,
Copy !req
84. which could lead to respiratory failure
and death.
Copy !req
85. It's your call.
Copy !req
86. I take risks every day.
Copy !req
87. I'm not giving up my dream.
Copy !req
88. You're 14.
Copy !req
89. It's not your call.
Copy !req
90. Her mother passed away
when she was a baby.
Copy !req
91. And my father just told you
it's my decision.
Copy !req
92. Coach is my dad.
Copy !req
93. Do what you need to do
to clear the blockage,
Copy !req
94. but leave her spine alone.
Copy !req
95. She wants to risk her life
for a trophy,
Copy !req
96. and her dad is okay with that.
Copy !req
97. I mean, that has to be some form of abuse.
Copy !req
98. This hospital is not gonna win a lawsuit
Copy !req
99. against a caring father
who supports his daughter's dreams.
Copy !req
100. All you can do is pull him aside
Copy !req
101. and try to convince him to be responsible.
Copy !req
102. Yeah.
Copy !req
103. Convincing people to be responsible
has not been my strong suit lately.
Copy !req
104. We're not still talking about
Coach Dad, are we?
Copy !req
105. You've been avoiding me.
Copy !req
106. I've been busy.
Copy !req
107. Recovering from a motorcycle accident
Copy !req
108. that you lied about?
Copy !req
109. There's nothing to tell.
Copy !req
110. I hit a patch of wet pavement.
Copy !req
111. Well, Audrey…
Copy !req
112. You have PTSD.
Copy !req
113. I'm dealing with it.
Copy !req
114. I don't think you are.
Copy !req
115. Well, I also have a truckload
of other things to deal with,
Copy !req
116. including the annual surgical fundraiser
Copy !req
117. Glassman just dumped in my lap.
Copy !req
118. Yeah, parties, they're important.
Copy !req
119. I'm dealing with it.
Copy !req
120. Mm.
Copy !req
121. How long have you had
the severe heartburn?
Copy !req
122. Uh, six months, maybe a year.
Copy !req
123. BP is 142 over 90. That's a little high.
Copy !req
124. Yeah, well, Darya and I travel
a lot for competition.
Copy !req
125. I don't take care of myself.
Copy !req
126. Prioritizing your work
over health is a bad idea.
Copy !req
127. For you and your daughter.
Copy !req
128. Thank you.
Copy !req
129. But may I kindly remind you,
Copy !req
130. how long are the shifts
that you doctors work?
Copy !req
131. High stress, no sleep.
Copy !req
132. When something is important,
huh, you give it all you got.
Copy !req
133. True. But we're adults. Darya's not.
Copy !req
134. Yeah, but she's very different
from other girls her age.
Copy !req
135. I mean, Darya, she works her butt off.
Copy !req
136. She's earned my r… respect.
Copy !req
137. You okay?
Copy !req
138. Oh, I'm feeling some kind of chest pain.
Copy !req
139. - His oxygen sat and pressure's dropping.
Copy !req
140. Possible MI, lung problem,
or aortic aneurysm. Secure his airway.
Copy !req
141. Poor perfusion. I think he's septic.
Copy !req
142. And vitals aren't improving.
Copy !req
143. Might be a spontaneous pneumothorax
Copy !req
144. and trapped air in his chest.
Copy !req
145. No, his chest would sound like
a kettle drum. There's fluid in there.
Copy !req
146. Give me a blade, curved clamp,
and a chest tube.
Copy !req
147. Boerhaave syndrome is easily misdiagnosed.
Copy !req
148. Nice catch
with the percussion technique.
Copy !req
149. You may have saved this man's life.
Copy !req
150. Give me more retraction.
Copy !req
151. These tissue planes are terrible.
Copy !req
152. We're gonna have
to debride the mediastinum.
Copy !req
153. There's too much damage
to repair the esophagus
Copy !req
154. without risking a chronic fistula.
Copy !req
155. The ongoing leakage into his chest
Copy !req
156. means it would just be a matter of time
before he dies from an infection.
Copy !req
157. The safest approach would be
to permanently divert the esophagus.
Copy !req
158. And he'd have to eat through a tube
for the rest of his life.
Copy !req
159. But I don't see a better option.
Copy !req
160. In 24 hours, with broad spectrum
antibiotics and drains,
Copy !req
161. the infection could clear
and give us more options.
Copy !req
162. Which buys everyone time
to come up with another brilliant win.
Copy !req
163. Does she really
call her own father "Coach"?
Copy !req
164. He is her coach.
Copy !req
165. What do you call your father?
Copy !req
166. - Abba.
- Pass.
Copy !req
167. Frank.
Copy !req
168. That's his name.
Copy !req
169. - Mm.
- Do you respect any traditions?
Copy !req
170. Not random ones.
Copy !req
171. Why create labels
for things that already have names?
Copy !req
172. It's not just what Darya calls her dad,
Copy !req
173. it's how they act with each other.
Copy !req
174. They're like coworkers.
Copy !req
175. That doesn't sound bad.
Copy !req
176. If I were meeting
Lea's co-workers tomorrow,
Copy !req
177. she would be much less anxious.
Copy !req
178. Family is supposed
to make you anxious.
Copy !req
179. Introducing a new boyfriend
to your parents, it's a big deal.
Copy !req
180. It's a rite of passage.
Copy !req
181. Polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia.
Copy !req
182. Torsade de Pointes.
Copy !req
183. We need magnesium sulfate two grams IV.
Copy !req
184. Heart rate's 170. She's not responding.
Copy !req
185. Move in the defibrillator.
Copy !req
186. - Charged to 100 joules.
- Clear.
Copy !req
187. Did we do something wrong?
Copy !req
188. No.
Copy !req
189. Which is puzzling.
Copy !req
190. Mistakes by first-year residents
are expected,
Copy !req
191. but cardiac arrhythmia
in a 14-year-old is definitely unexpected.
Copy !req
192. I was gonna ask if you wanted a ride,
Copy !req
193. but if you're working late…
Copy !req
194. Twenty hours to figure this out.
Copy !req
195. You sure you want to waste one of them
driving home and back?
Copy !req
196. I think while I drive.
Copy !req
197. Not as well. Not in the car. Not at home.
Copy !req
198. Too comfortable, too many distractions.
Copy !req
199. Better to buckle down here, where,
as a bonus, your colleagues can see you.
Copy !req
200. I was under the impression
that results are more important
Copy !req
201. than how a doctor is perceived.
Copy !req
202. And Jordan is running rings
around you there, too.
Copy !req
203. Results don't matter
if you can't make people listen.
Copy !req
204. Is that why you didn't want to perform
the esophageal diversion?
Copy !req
205. You didn't hear me?
Copy !req
206. I made a decision
for the good of the patient.
Copy !req
207. Now,
Copy !req
208. it's up to you to prove me right.
Copy !req
209. She has a prolonged QT interval
and sporadic extra beats.
Copy !req
210. Okay, I'm gonna get the newbies
Copy !req
211. to recheck the renal panel
Copy !req
212. and order endocrine and genetic studies.
Copy !req
213. I already did. Also a tox and drug screen.
Copy !req
214. Are you okay?
Copy !req
215. Mm.
Copy !req
216. Lea's scared.
Copy !req
217. Mm.
Copy !req
218. Then I should prepare myself.
Copy !req
219. There is definitely something about me
her parents won't like.
Copy !req
220. No, Shaun.
Copy !req
221. You are who you are.
Copy !req
222. Who you are is great.
Copy !req
223. You've been preparing for this
your entire life.
Copy !req
224. When you do something important
for the first time,
Copy !req
225. like surgery, you practice.
Copy !req
226. I should practice meeting her parents.
Copy !req
227. Mm, how? It's not like there's a simulator
Copy !req
228. for learning how to navigate
awkward social interactions.
Copy !req
229. There is.
Copy !req
230. But I need pizza.
Copy !req
231. Hmm.
Copy !req
232. Shaun, I'd like you to meet my parents,
Pam and Mike.
Copy !req
233. Hi, Pam.
Copy !req
234. Hi, Mike.
Copy !req
235. Lea tells us you're a doctor.
What specialty?
Copy !req
236. I am a surgeon.
Copy !req
237. What a shame. I hear surgeons
are arrogant and overrated.
Copy !req
238. Okay.
Copy !req
239. Morgan, I'm sorry, but can you just
give it a rest for half a second?
Copy !req
240. I'm in character.
Please address me as Pam.
Copy !req
241. I read recently that,
while you're sleeping,
Copy !req
242. you accidentally eat
eight spiders every year.
Copy !req
243. Yes.
Copy !req
244. And I read that, sometimes,
they lay eggs in your stomach,
Copy !req
245. and then you can have
thousands of spiders…
Copy !req
246. Shaun.
Copy !req
247. You said not to disagree with him
Copy !req
248. when he says something wrong
and pointless.
Copy !req
249. I didn't tell you to agree with him,
Copy !req
250. because that only gives him
more wrong and pointless things.
Copy !req
251. Good. That's helpful.
Copy !req
252. Let's continue.
Copy !req
253. Did you know that Arizona
doesn't have Daylight Savings Time?
Copy !req
254. Saving.
Copy !req
255. It's "saving," not "savings."
That's grammatic…
Copy !req
256. Wh… How am I supposed to know
what is pointless?
Copy !req
257. Facts are facts.
Copy !req
258. Okay, okay, okay.
This isn't gonna work.
Copy !req
259. We could spend
the rest of the evening
Copy !req
260. teaching Shaun the fine but trivial art
of how to finesse trivia.
Copy !req
261. But the real problem
Copy !req
262. isn't gonna be small talk
and family bickering.
Copy !req
263. The real problem is
what happens when Lea's parents
Copy !req
264. express real concerns
about their daughter?
Copy !req
265. - What concerns?
- Concerns any parent would have.
Copy !req
266. You two barely know each other,
Copy !req
267. you haven't been dating very long,
now you're living together.
Copy !req
268. This relationship is moving too fast.
Copy !req
269. You're wrong.
Copy !req
270. I thought you said
we shouldn't argue with your dad.
Copy !req
271. That wasn't my dad.
That was 100% Glassy.
Copy !req
272. You can't prepare
for how these evenings can go wrong.
Copy !req
273. Families are full of surprises.
Copy !req
274. Like how you don't like Lea.
Copy !req
275. I never actually said that.
Copy !req
276. Wow. A first-year all-nighter.
Copy !req
277. Brings back memories.
Copy !req
278. Not of myself, of course,
Copy !req
279. but of the losers who thought
staying up all night
Copy !req
280. drooling on their laptops
made them look like better doctors.
Copy !req
281. So, cure cancer yet?
Copy !req
282. I'm trying to find a new way
to repair a ruptured esophagus.
Copy !req
283. "Fundic reinforcement
with intercostal muscle flap."
Copy !req
284. Pretty cutting-edge stuff. But why not
go with diversion? It's a lot safer.
Copy !req
285. Because "safe"
is ordinary and boring. Like me.
Copy !req
286. My uncle thinks I need a win.
Copy !req
287. And the only way to do that
is to be impressive, like Jordan.
Copy !req
288. Makes sense.
Copy !req
289. You agree?
Copy !req
290. That Dr. Allen is impressive? Yeah.
Copy !req
291. And everybody knows that
Copy !req
292. because Dr. Allen makes sure
everybody knows that.
Copy !req
293. She and your uncle are cut
from the same fashionably high-end cloth.
Copy !req
294. So, I don't just need to be
a better doctor,
Copy !req
295. - I need to be a different person.
- Wow.
Copy !req
296. You might want to start
by being a person
Copy !req
297. who feels a little less sorry
for themselves.
Copy !req
298. Either you're an awkward,
inconsistent loner
Copy !req
299. who's irritatingly apologetic
about your best qualities,
Copy !req
300. or you're a quietly brilliant surgeon
Copy !req
301. whom others ignore at their own peril.
Copy !req
302. If you're the first one,
Copy !req
303. quit now and stop wasting resources.
Copy !req
304. But if you're the second, be that.
Copy !req
305. Maybe a little louder.
Copy !req
306. Where should we start?
Copy !req
307. Centerpieces, appetizers, color schemes?
Copy !req
308. Please tell me that you're at a hotel
in the middle of the day
Copy !req
309. because you're having an affair.
Copy !req
310. There were no surgeries scheduled,
Copy !req
311. so I decided to volunteer to help.
Copy !req
312. - How helpful.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
313. We can get the job done
in half the time
Copy !req
314. and still have time to talk.
Copy !req
315. Or we can just talk.
Copy !req
316. I am not a 14-year-old girl
Copy !req
317. whose next backflip
could kill her, Claire.
Copy !req
318. I don't need saving.
Copy !req
319. What do you think about twinkle lights?
Copy !req
320. Too prom?
Copy !req
321. Our tests show
that your heart problems
Copy !req
322. are being caused
by excess estrogen levels.
Copy !req
323. And we want to know
how it got in your system.
Copy !req
324. Medication? A supplement?
Copy !req
325. Coach gave you my training logs.
You know as much as I do.
Copy !req
326. We also know that
you're in a very competitive sport,
Copy !req
327. so, maybe you're taking something
that's not on the training log.
Copy !req
328. If you are, we can't
divulge that to anyone.
Copy !req
329. You think I'm doping?
Copy !req
330. No way.
Copy !req
331. - If your coach is pressuring you…
- He's not.
Copy !req
332. I'm sure it's a one-time thing.
Copy !req
333. Keep monitoring me.
I'll be fine.
Copy !req
334. Darya, you've made
your dreams come true
Copy !req
335. by being stubborn, being relentless,
Copy !req
336. and just making things happen,
Copy !req
337. but that's not how your heart works.
Or your spine.
Copy !req
338. She's not being stubborn.
Copy !req
339. It is going to go away, isn't it?
Copy !req
340. Because you are taking something.
Copy !req
341. And now you're going to stop.
Copy !req
342. Which means that it wasn't
performance enhancing.
Copy !req
343. What is it for?
Copy !req
344. You took drugs for boobs?
Copy !req
345. The girl on YouTube said
it would make them bigger.
Copy !req
346. Phytoestrogens used in herbal remedies
Copy !req
347. can cause swelling in breast tissue,
Copy !req
348. but there are potentially
dangerous side effects.
Copy !req
349. What the hell were you thinking?
Copy !req
350. I didn't know it would make me sick.
Copy !req
351. I got tired of hearing
the boys on the men's team
Copy !req
352. talking about women with curves…
Copy !req
353. What if it showed up on a drug test?
Copy !req
354. What if you got banned
from the Olympics?
Copy !req
355. It's natural. It doesn't mess
with performance.
Copy !req
356. - Other girls…
- I don't care about other girls,
Copy !req
357. and I didn't think that you cared
about other girls. Are you…
Copy !req
358. I can't believe that you're
willing to risk everything
Copy !req
359. for something so childish.
Copy !req
360. It's not childish.
Copy !req
361. I give a lot to my sport.
Copy !req
362. I just wanted something for me.
Copy !req
363. You're not an adult.
Copy !req
364. Mm.
Copy !req
365. Fix her heart
Copy !req
366. and her spine.
Copy !req
367. What?
You can't do that. Are you punishing me?
Copy !req
368. I'm doing my job.
Copy !req
369. I'm your father, and we're a family,
Copy !req
370. and it is my job to make good decisions
when you won't.
Copy !req
371. Since when
is being my father your job?
Copy !req
372. We never do anything
but talk about gymnastics, not even Mom.
Copy !req
373. If you didn't think I needed my father
after she died, why start now?
Copy !req
374. Darya…
Copy !req
375. I'm calling the team lawyer
and filing for emancipation.
Copy !req
376. You think I can't make
my own decisions? Try this one.
Copy !req
377. You're fired, Coach.
Copy !req
378. We could try T-tubes.
Copy !req
379. They result in the formation of a
controlled fistula and route for drainage.
Copy !req
380. Interesting.
But the patient would still have
Copy !req
381. a long recovery and chance of reinfection.
What else?
Copy !req
382. I found some very interesting research
Copy !req
383. on endoscopic vacuum therapy.
Copy !req
384. It's under investigation
for the management of esophageal leaks.
Copy !req
385. Definitely innovative,
Dr. Allen, but a little too much so.
Copy !req
386. This concept hasn't even gone
through clinical trials yet,
Copy !req
387. and we need to perform surgery today.
Copy !req
388. Dr. Jackson, you've been quiet.
Copy !req
389. I was thinking about
fundic reinforcement.
Copy !req
390. My idea is to use
the patient's own good tissue
Copy !req
391. to reinforce the primary closure.
Copy !req
392. In this case,
using the stomach as the patch.
Copy !req
393. Like the way we use a skin graft
for third-degree burns.
Copy !req
394. Well, he'd be at risk
of a diaphragmatic hernia.
Copy !req
395. Not if we cinch up the lower esophageal
sphincter with a fundoplasty.
Copy !req
396. Mm.
Copy !req
397. Shaun, Lea tells us you're a doctor.
What's your specialty?
Copy !req
398. I am a surgeon.
Copy !req
399. But we are not all arrogant.
Though many of us are.
Copy !req
400. I'm still not sure if that's good or bad.
Copy !req
401. Is it hard? For you?
Copy !req
402. I mean, it's a difficult job.
Copy !req
403. Shaun is excellent at his job.
Copy !req
404. So, how do you feel about vaccines?
Copy !req
405. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
406. Because, uh, they worry me.
Copy !req
407. They don't worry me.
Copy !req
408. - Oh.
- Really?
Copy !req
409. Because we've read a lot of stuff.
Copy !req
410. Especially since Lea told us about you.
Copy !req
411. Vaccines don't cause autism, Mom.
Copy !req
412. - Want to talk about religion now?
Copy !req
413. I think that that was on the list
Copy !req
414. - of things not to talk about.
- Mm.
Copy !req
415. Lea wrote you a list?
Copy !req
416. - Dad.
- Well…
Copy !req
417. Honestly, Lea, if we're so impossible
to talk to, why even have us here?
Copy !req
418. Hemorrhoid surgery.
Copy !req
419. - Excuse me?
- Want more wine?
Copy !req
420. I removed a hemorrhoid
Copy !req
421. from a patient with terminal cancer.
Copy !req
422. He only had a few months to live,
and nothing would change that,
Copy !req
423. but the surgery did make him
more comfortable.
Copy !req
424. I suggest we treat this evening
like hemorrhoid surgery.
Copy !req
425. Now, that's… That's a good point.
Copy !req
426. You don't have to give him
any more lists. Let him talk.
Copy !req
427. I like this guy.
Copy !req
428. Okay.
Copy !req
429. To hemorrhoid surgery.
Copy !req
430. - To hemorrhoid surgery.
Copy !req
431. I went.
Copy !req
432. I went to see a psychiatrist.
Copy !req
433. I'm… I'm so relieved to hear that.
Copy !req
434. Well, once.
Copy !req
435. The doctor said my symptoms
warranted medication,
Copy !req
436. so I haven't been back since.
Copy !req
437. Why? If you need medication…
Copy !req
438. Why did you keep your PTSD a secret?
Copy !req
439. You chose to deal
with your issues privately,
Copy !req
440. on your own terms.
Copy !req
441. Why am I not entitled
to the same choice?
Copy !req
442. Doing something self-destructive
Copy !req
443. is not a choice, it's a mistake.
Copy !req
444. Just like it was when I did it.
Copy !req
445. So, when I do something
you agree with, it's great.
Copy !req
446. When I do something
you disagree with,
Copy !req
447. - it's because I'm sick.
- No.
Copy !req
448. You know, this is why
I don't want to talk to you,
Copy !req
449. because it's not a conversation,
it's a lecture.
Copy !req
450. Audrey.
Copy !req
451. - Audrey…
Copy !req
452. - Please, Claire, let me go.
- No.
Copy !req
453. I just want to go home. I'll be fine.
Copy !req
454. Let me give you a ride.
You can't drive like this.
Copy !req
455. Come on.
Copy !req
456. I said I'm fine!
Copy !req
457. No. You're not!
Copy !req
458. There! Now no one's driving home.
You happy?
Copy !req
459. The two main challenges
of Boerhaave syndrome
Copy !req
460. are timely diagnosis
followed by viability of repair,
Copy !req
461. and with this innovative
surgical approach,
Copy !req
462. I think we might achieve both.
Copy !req
463. I need silk ties and LigaSure.
Copy !req
464. His chest infection leaked
through the diaphragm
Copy !req
465. into the intraperitoneal space.
Copy !req
466. There's an abscess
behind the stomach.
Copy !req
467. It's making the entire
posterior stomach friable.
Copy !req
468. What if we use
an intercostal muscle flap
Copy !req
469. to patch the esophagus instead?
Copy !req
470. It raises the risk of sepsis.
Copy !req
471. The patient signed off on risk.
We should try.
Copy !req
472. Not this level of risk.
We need to do the diversion.
Copy !req
473. Uh… Your idea was good.
Copy !req
474. Don't give up on it so fast.
Copy !req
475. Reverting to diversion
doesn't mean failure.
Copy !req
476. I searched "eating meat near me,"
which was a mistake,
Copy !req
477. but I did get a recommendation
for a steak house your father might like.
Copy !req
478. You don't have to be nice
to my parents anymore, Shaun.
Copy !req
479. We won't be seeing them again.
Copy !req
480. Why not?
Copy !req
481. "We need to talk about Shaun."
Copy !req
482. Mm.
Copy !req
483. They don't think I'm mature enough
Copy !req
484. to be in a challenging relationship.
Copy !req
485. Leave it to my mom,
she took us both out in one shot.
Copy !req
486. You do get that this is insulting.
To both of us.
Copy !req
487. From the people who supposedly
love me most in the world.
Copy !req
488. They don't.
Copy !req
489. Not the most.
Copy !req
490. Not anymore.
Copy !req
491. Lea…
Copy !req
492. People who meet me
Copy !req
493. are usually uncomfortable.
Copy !req
494. And most of the time,
that doesn't go away.
Copy !req
495. How do you handle that?
Copy !req
496. I try to be patient.
Copy !req
497. Sometimes it works.
Copy !req
498. Maybe you're a more mature person
than I am.
Copy !req
499. But I'm not sure
if that is gonna work for me.
Copy !req
500. Have you seen Dr. Lim this morning?
Copy !req
501. Uh, no. Why?
Copy !req
502. Darya's lawyer called.
Copy !req
503. - I need Dr. Lim.
- Dr. Lim's not here.
Copy !req
504. I don't know if she'll be in today.
Copy !req
505. If it's an emergency,
maybe Dr. Glassman…
Copy !req
506. Dr. Glassman's in meetings
this morning. Who needs me?
Copy !req
507. Darya's lawyer wants
the hospital to release her client.
Copy !req
508. Tell her lawyer we're not
releasing our patient
Copy !req
509. until she's healthy
unless we receive a court order.
Copy !req
510. What's your problem?
Copy !req
511. Dr. Andrews encountered complications.
Copy !req
512. He asked me to inform you
that the surgical plan
Copy !req
513. needs to change
without the patient's consent.
Copy !req
514. That's Andrews' call.
Copy !req
515. I don't need details, just coffee.
Copy !req
516. I changed my mind. I need the details.
Copy !req
517. Stay here.
Copy !req
518. Long, painful recovery
with a feeding tube,
Copy !req
519. or risk of death.
Copy !req
520. As his next of kin, it's your call.
Copy !req
521. I have to decide?
Copy !req
522. You made a life-or-death choice
for yourself.
Copy !req
523. In fact, you insisted on it.
Copy !req
524. That's different. I was being asked
to give up something I wanted.
Copy !req
525. The only difference is, your father is
laying on an operating table
Copy !req
526. waiting for you to grow up.
Copy !req
527. If something bad happened,
I'd be responsible.
Copy !req
528. Yes.
Copy !req
529. That's the definition of adulthood.
Copy !req
530. I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
531. Of course you don't.
Copy !req
532. It's an impossible choice.
Copy !req
533. Terrible things happen either way.
Copy !req
534. And, yeah, it's on you.
Copy !req
535. I can't do it.
Copy !req
536. I just can't.
Copy !req
537. You're not a grown-up, Darya.
Copy !req
538. Luckily.
Copy !req
539. So those of us who are
will make the impossible decision for you.
Copy !req
540. Dr. Andrews will do the diversion.
Copy !req
541. Someone will bring you to see your father
when he's out of surgery.
Copy !req
542. What was that?
Copy !req
543. I saved that girl when you couldn't.
Copy !req
544. Yesterday, you told me
to respect her decision.
Copy !req
545. Today, you tortured her
into changing her mind.
Copy !req
546. Oh, did I make a little girl cry?
Copy !req
547. I can't do this.
I'm done trying to help you.
Copy !req
548. Oh, please.
You're never really done.
Copy !req
549. You know who you were last night?
Copy !req
550. My mom.
Copy !req
551. Drunk, angry,
Copy !req
552. refusing to lift a finger
to help yourself,
Copy !req
553. lying about it,
and taking your pain out on me.
Copy !req
554. It's gonna keep happening
until you get help.
Copy !req
555. Take the medication, talk to someone,
Copy !req
556. do something.
Copy !req
557. Please.
Copy !req
558. I'm not your mother, Claire.
Copy !req
559. I'm not your responsibility.
Copy !req
560. I'm your boss.
Copy !req
561. And I don't owe you anything.
Copy !req
562. Shaun? What are you doing here?
Copy !req
563. You're wrong about me and Lea.
Copy !req
564. Oh. Well, no offense, Shaun,
but this is between family.
Copy !req
565. Lea is my girlfriend,
Copy !req
566. and the texts you sent were about us.
Copy !req
567. We're sorry you saw those.
Copy !req
568. Shaun, you're a very nice young man,
Copy !req
569. and we enjoyed meeting you.
Copy !req
570. It's just…
Copy !req
571. We've known Lea
a lot longer than you have.
Copy !req
572. Yeah, she's, um…
Copy !req
573. Well, I mean, she has a good heart,
Copy !req
574. she just doesn't think ahead.
Copy !req
575. And she will do anything
to get under our skin.
Copy !req
576. You wouldn't believe
some of the people she's dated.
Copy !req
577. I'm different
Copy !req
578. than anyone she's ever dated.
Copy !req
579. How is that not a change?
Copy !req
580. That's true, Shaun.
Copy !req
581. I'm just not sure it's a good thing.
Copy !req
582. You knew her then.
Copy !req
583. You don't know her now.
Copy !req
584. All you know are her mistakes.
Copy !req
585. And you don't trust her because
you aren't sure you were good parents.
Copy !req
586. You said our relationship has challenges.
Copy !req
587. You're right.
Copy !req
588. Lea and I go through challenges together.
Copy !req
589. It's one of the things
that makes us stronger.
Copy !req
590. Lea challenges me to try things,
Copy !req
591. even things I know I won't like,
Copy !req
592. because it is not
always better to stop and think.
Copy !req
593. And I make Lea patient,
because I can be very frustrating.
Copy !req
594. So can the two of you.
Copy !req
595. Maybe this challenge
will make your relationship stronger, too.
Copy !req
596. If you really think I should
have the spinal surgery,
Copy !req
597. I trust you.
Copy !req
598. I do.
Copy !req
599. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
600. Ever since your mother died,
Copy !req
601. I've been scared.
Copy !req
602. What did I know about raising
a little girl all by myself?
Copy !req
603. And you…
You were a handful.
Copy !req
604. Bouncing off the walls,
Copy !req
605. backflips off the furniture.
Copy !req
606. You couldn't get me to the gym
fast enough.
Copy !req
607. Because when you were on the beam,
Copy !req
608. or flipping through the air,
Copy !req
609. you're not just a little girl.
Copy !req
610. You are an amazing athlete.
Copy !req
611. As your coach,
Copy !req
612. you make me feel amazing, too.
Copy !req
613. All this time,
Copy !req
614. I thought I was giving you
exactly what you needed.
Copy !req
615. But I was wrong.
Copy !req
616. What you needed
was for me to be your dad.
Copy !req
617. And what your dad
would have told you,
Copy !req
618. that no matter how you look,
Copy !req
619. or what you achieve,
Copy !req
620. you will always be a beautiful,
Copy !req
621. strong superstar to me.
Copy !req
622. - Thanks, Dad.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
623. Thank you.
Copy !req
624. I like you. Okay?
Copy !req
625. Stop.
Copy !req
626. You're gonna make me cry.
Copy !req
627. You're a very cynical person,
you know that?
Copy !req
628. Mm, actually, I'm not.
Copy !req
629. But you're a very grouchy person
who cannot give a compliment.
Copy !req
630. You're funny. You're smart.
Copy !req
631. And you make Shaun happy.
Copy !req
632. Which I guess is a good thing,
Copy !req
633. but it also means
you can make him very, very sad.
Copy !req
634. And that worries me, frankly.
Copy !req
635. I am not planning on hurting Shaun.
Copy !req
636. It's rarely intentional, you know?
Copy !req
637. My parents have an issue with Shaun.
Copy !req
638. And I just don't want Shaun's parent
Copy !req
639. to have a problem with us, too.
Copy !req
640. Too bad.
Copy !req
641. Everything Shaun has gone through,
Copy !req
642. all the rejection and the pain,
Copy !req
643. the victories, they all belong to him.
Copy !req
644. But I feel every single high
Copy !req
645. and every single low.
Copy !req
646. So, I'm sorry, I'm…
Copy !req
647. I'm not going to stop
worrying about him,
Copy !req
648. even if he doesn't need me to.
Copy !req
649. Well, if Shaun saw that stain on your tie,
it would drive him crazy.
Copy !req
650. Hey, Liv.
Copy !req
651. I'm sorry we didn't get
to perform your surgery,
Copy !req
652. but I'm really proud
of the way you stepped up.
Copy !req
653. That surgery wasn't mine.
Copy !req
654. Of course it was, and it was brilliant…
Copy !req
655. And neither was the stone.
Copy !req
656. That story you told me about
how you spotted my talent?
Copy !req
657. Um, I don't remember any of it.
Copy !req
658. I didn't paint that rock,
Copy !req
659. and if I handed it to you,
Copy !req
660. it didn't mean anything
because I was five.
Copy !req
661. You have been carrying around
a memory for over 20 years
Copy !req
662. that represents your dream, not mine.
Copy !req
663. Clearly, that's not entirely true.
Copy !req
664. You went to medical school.
Copy !req
665. Because I do want to be a great doctor.
Copy !req
666. I wanted it so bad
Copy !req
667. that I let you push me
to think up some flashy surgery,
Copy !req
668. even when my instincts already told me
Copy !req
669. to do what I thought was the right thing,
Copy !req
670. and was the right thing.
Copy !req
671. Livvy, I just want to help you
be the best…
Copy !req
672. You want me to be Jordan.
Copy !req
673. If you're looking to mold someone
in your image, she's perfect.
Copy !req
674. But, Uncle Marcus, I've got to be me.
Copy !req
675. And you can't help me do that.
Copy !req
676. Hey.
Copy !req
677. I'm still gonna brag on you
like a proud uncle. You know that, right?
Copy !req
678. Dr. Jackson.
Copy !req
679. - It's your parents.
- Yep, Shaun. I saw.
Copy !req
680. They probably want something.
Copy !req
681. We should prepare.
Either they want to yell at us,
Copy !req
682. in which case,
we should not answer the door,
Copy !req
683. or they want to take us for dinner…
Copy !req
684. - …but we are already halfway through…
Copy !req
685. They want to take us to dinner.
Copy !req
686. Should I open the door?
Copy !req
687. What do you think?
Copy !req
688. I think…
Copy !req
689. …they must have been good parents.
Copy !req
690. We should have dinner with them.
Copy !req
691. Do you want to text them back?
Copy !req
692. Last year, after my mom died,
Copy !req
693. I was going through
some problems emotionally.
Copy !req
694. I was diagnosed with PTSD.
Copy !req
695. I see.
Copy !req
696. Melendez knew.
Copy !req
697. Um… Morgan found out
because she's Morgan.
Copy !req
698. But I didn't tell anyone else.
Copy !req
699. I… I didn't want anyone to know.
Copy !req
700. Why are you telling me this now?
Copy !req
701. Because
Copy !req
702. Lim is going through something like it,
Copy !req
703. but maybe worse.
Copy !req
704. She isn't going to therapy.
Copy !req
705. She has refused medication. She…
Copy !req
706. Um…
Copy !req
707. I don't think you should
be telling me this.
Copy !req
708. Whatever Lim told you,
Copy !req
709. she told you in confidence
and as a friend.
Copy !req
710. Mm. But she's not just a friend.
She's my boss.
Copy !req
711. You're her boss.
Copy !req
712. So I'm telling you because
Copy !req
713. I have no place else to turn.
Copy !req
714. She won't let me help
Copy !req
715. because she says it's not my job.
And she's right.
Copy !req
716. But it's your job to protect the hospital.
Copy !req
717. And her.
Copy !req
718. So…
Copy !req
