1. How long have you known?
Copy !req
2. About a week or two.
Copy !req
3. My doctor found it
on the yearly scan.
Copy !req
4. Did they give you
a sense of how long?
Copy !req
5. - Three to six.
- Years?
Copy !req
6. Months.
Copy !req
7. What's your plan?
Copy !req
8. Is there a surgery or chemo?
Copy !req
9. No. This is my plan right here.
Copy !req
10. You. You're it.
Copy !req
11. You're the plan.
Copy !req
12. And you.
Copy !req
13. And that one.
Copy !req
14. And maybe some bowling.
Copy !req
15. I have to go to work.
Copy !req
16. Last time, you also said
it was inoperable. Goodbye.
Copy !req
17. He just took your medical file.
Copy !req
18. Yeah.
Copy !req
19. I'm so sorry, Glassy.
Copy !req
20. Me too.
Copy !req
21. Despite having you on
vancomycin and ceftriaxone,
Copy !req
22. your post-op infection
is still progressing.
Copy !req
23. We're waiting for
the cultures to grow out,
Copy !req
24. but we suspect MRSA.
Copy !req
25. I'm thinking we debride
the infected tissue,
Copy !req
26. then flush antibiotics
directly into the wound
Copy !req
27. and put in drains.
Copy !req
28. Good call.
Copy !req
29. I'll put it on the schedule,
Copy !req
30. and leave you two alone.
Copy !req
31. I guess we weren't
exactly subtle.
Copy !req
32. No.
Copy !req
33. You said you wanted more
than a one-night stand.
Copy !req
34. I did.
Copy !req
35. But, uh,
Copy !req
36. how would we do that?
Copy !req
37. I don't know.
Copy !req
38. But...
Copy !req
39. I would like to make it work.
Copy !req
40. Me too.
Copy !req
41. Oh, it's Shaun. He wants me in
the Residents' Lounge, stat.
Copy !req
42. The patient
is a 68-year-old man
Copy !req
43. diagnosed with grade IV
butterfly glioblastoma,
Copy !req
44. from the left
frontotemporal lobe.
Copy !req
45. Do we have
a full medical record?
Copy !req
46. Patient history?
Copy !req
47. Or a name?
Copy !req
48. Successful surgical resection
for glioma five years ago,
Copy !req
49. followed by
chemo and radiation.
Copy !req
50. And within the past year,
Copy !req
51. several minor strokes.
Copy !req
52. Glioma and strokes.
Copy !req
53. Are those Glassman's?
Copy !req
54. His cancer's back?
Copy !req
55. The patient's identity
isn't medically relevant.
Copy !req
56. How is he? How are you, Shaun?
Copy !req
57. The patient's identity
isn't medically relevant.
Copy !req
58. Shaun, did Dr. Glassman
ask you to develop a treatment?
Copy !req
59. No, he didn't.
Otherwise, he'd be here.
Copy !req
60. The patient is reluctant
to pursue treatment,
Copy !req
61. but the patient is also
not aware of new developments.
Copy !req
62. You and Jordan go do
Claire's debridement.
Copy !req
63. I'm sorry, Shaun. I can't.
Copy !req
64. Looking at the axial images
with contrast...
Copy !req
65. How's Claire?
Copy !req
66. Looks like MRSA. We've got her
on vanc and ceftriaxone.
Copy !req
67. Rack 'em up.
Copy !req
68. Said the woman who
hates the fact that there's
Copy !req
69. a pool table in
the president's lounge
Copy !req
70. to a dying man?
Copy !req
71. Shaun?
Copy !req
72. He's got a group brainstorming
a treatment plan for you.
Copy !req
73. - I'll rejoin them
if you want me to.
- No.
Copy !req
74. Thank you.
Copy !req
75. Hey, look at the bright side.
Copy !req
76. When I'm gone,
no more co-presidency.
Copy !req
77. You can run this joint
however you want.
Copy !req
78. I never wanted it
in the first place.
Copy !req
79. Stop. You're a natural.
Copy !req
80. Even if you are overly invested
and too accessible...
Copy !req
81. In every other way,
you're amazing.
Copy !req
82. This sucks.
Copy !req
83. Shut up and rack 'em.
Copy !req
84. No sign of any more
devascularized tissue.
Copy !req
85. Proceeding with
antibiotic irrigation.
Copy !req
86. Looked like you two were
reconnecting last night.
Copy !req
87. Yeah.
Copy !req
88. Did that...
Does that bother you?
Copy !req
89. It caught me
off guard a little.
Copy !req
90. You could have told me you two
had unfinished business.
Copy !req
91. You're with Perez.
Copy !req
92. Danny and I are texting a lot,
Copy !req
93. and, yes, I do hope and pray
my future is with him.
Copy !req
94. That's why I backed off
and stopped flirting with you.
Copy !req
95. You and me, we're friends.
Copy !req
96. Placing the drain.
Copy !req
97. Thing about friends is,
no holding out.
Copy !req
98. I told you about me and Danny,
you tell me
Copy !req
99. when your ex you're not over
is back in town.
Copy !req
100. I can close.
Copy !req
101. Deal.
Copy !req
102. To both.
Copy !req
103. I'll go check on the cultures,
Copy !req
104. see which antibiotics
are working.
Copy !req
105. Shaun, have you tried calling
the Tisch Brain Tumor Center
Copy !req
106. or Cleveland Clinic about
their in-progress GBM trials?
Copy !req
107. That is an excellent idea.
Copy !req
108. I'll keep things rolling here.
Copy !req
109. Come on, guys,
I need some energy,
some enthusiasm.
Copy !req
110. Stop pitching the same idea.
Start pitching any idea.
Copy !req
111. I ran out an hour ago.
Copy !req
112. How long are we supposed
to keep doing this?
Copy !req
113. Until Shaun accepts
what we already know.
Copy !req
114. That there is no treatment.
Copy !req
115. - What do you got?
- Nothing's working.
Copy !req
116. Not a single antibiotic made
a dent in Claire's infection.
Copy !req
117. It's not MRSA.
Copy !req
118. We cleared out
all the infected tissue,
Copy !req
119. but initial cultures confirm
you don't have MRSA.
Copy !req
120. You have acinetobacter.
Copy !req
121. It's resistant to everything.
Copy !req
122. One of the antibiotic combos
slowed growth a little.
Copy !req
123. We'll try that.
Copy !req
124. But mostly, we need
your immune system
to beat this thing.
Copy !req
125. Are you scared?
Copy !req
126. I heard about Glassman.
How's he holding up?
Copy !req
127. Better than the rest of us,
I think.
Copy !req
128. At least, he's acting like it.
Copy !req
129. Congratulations.
Copy !req
130. I assume they'll
offer you the presidency.
Copy !req
131. - Look,
Copy !req
132. it is a terrible way
to get the offer,
Copy !req
133. but it is still
a huge accomplishment.
Copy !req
134. There's another offer.
Copy !req
135. Chief of surgery
at the hospital
Copy !req
136. where Clay's doing
his fellowship in Chicago.
Copy !req
137. I'd get to focus
on surgery again,
Copy !req
138. be with Clay again.
Copy !req
139. But?
Copy !req
140. How did you know it was
the right choice
Copy !req
141. to move to Guatemala?
Copy !req
142. It made me want to throw up.
Copy !req
143. It was so terrifying.
Copy !req
144. But in an exhilarating
kind of way.
Copy !req
145. What?
Copy !req
146. You're sweating.
Copy !req
147. I'm looking for
stuff to scavenge.
Copy !req
148. Oh, well, help yourself.
Copy !req
149. Just stay away from the scotch.
I'm gonna need that.
Copy !req
150. Tell me about your bucket list.
Copy !req
151. Bucket list? Hmm.
Copy !req
152. Criss-cross the Serengeti with
a backpack and a pitch tent.
Copy !req
153. Wrestle an alligator and win.
Copy !req
154. Or go bowling.
Copy !req
155. I didn't take you
for a Pin Prince.
Copy !req
156. A bowler?
Copy !req
157. I'm kind of
a Strike Siren myself.
Copy !req
158. Park and I are in a league.
Copy !req
159. I wasn't expecting that.
Copy !req
160. I know what I want.
Copy !req
161. When you were treating
my rheumatoid arthritis,
Copy !req
162. there was this
Copy !req
163. one day when you were
going over my
Copy !req
164. X-rays and blood work
Copy !req
165. and medical history,
Copy !req
166. all this stupid paperwork
about me and my stupid hands,
Copy !req
167. and it all felt
so overwhelming.
Copy !req
168. And then you gathered it up
into this nice, neat pile,
Copy !req
169. and you
paper-clipped it together.
Copy !req
170. And all of a sudden,
it felt manageable, like,
Copy !req
171. maybe I would be okay.
Copy !req
172. Also, I can use it
to jimmy open
Copy !req
173. the filing cabinet
in my office.
Copy !req
174. I can't find the key.
Copy !req
175. Thank you.
Copy !req
176. I sense you've cracked it.
Copy !req
177. No, we've made
no progress at all.
Copy !req
178. Shaun, we've been
at this all day.
Copy !req
179. It's only 3:15.
Copy !req
180. We've been at this
for over seven hours,
Copy !req
181. with six people
looking non-stop.
Copy !req
182. If there was
a miracle cure to find,
Copy !req
183. - I think we would've—
- I found something!
Copy !req
184. A maximal resection
would debulk the tumor
Copy !req
185. down to
a one-centimeter margin.
Copy !req
186. Minimally invasive techniques
could be used.
Copy !req
187. You would only be
in the hospital for
one to two nights,
Copy !req
188. and overall recovery
would be faster
Copy !req
189. because they wouldn't be
operating in the brain stem.
Copy !req
190. The surgery
would be followed
Copy !req
191. by an experimental
ultrasound therapy.
Copy !req
192. Thank you. An experimental
ultrasound therapy,
Copy !req
193. breaking down
the blood-brain barrier
Copy !req
194. to increase chemo penetration,
allowing for a lower dose.
Copy !req
195. There would still be
some side effects,
Copy !req
196. but we could take
more edibles together
Copy !req
197. and eat Mallomars. Mm.
Copy !req
198. It could give you
as much as a year.
Copy !req
199. Maybe more,
if you respond well.
Copy !req
200. Claire is in septic shock.
I have to go.
Copy !req
201. I will be back later
to answer any questions.
Copy !req
202. Temp's 103.
Copy !req
203. BP's low, cardiac output
is declining.
Copy !req
204. We could do another
wound debridement.
Copy !req
205. It's in her blood. The wound is
not the biggest issue anymore.
Copy !req
206. But clearing it out
allows her immune system
Copy !req
207. to focus its resources
elsewhere.
Copy !req
208. Not enough. We could try
a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
Copy !req
209. Guys.
Copy !req
210. We all know the answer.
Copy !req
211. You have to put me in a coma.
Copy !req
212. - No.
- We're not there yet.
Copy !req
213. We are.
Copy !req
214. Shutting down your
other metabolic demands
Copy !req
215. will allow your body to
Copy !req
216. focus on fighting
the infection.
Copy !req
217. I know, once you put me under,
Copy !req
218. that may be...
Copy !req
219. But this is my best chance
to beat this thing.
Copy !req
220. Hey.
Copy !req
221. Have you looked over
the materials?
Copy !req
222. I highlighted
relevant sections.
Copy !req
223. I have, and I appreciate
Copy !req
224. what you're trying
to do, Shaun.
Copy !req
225. Yes. It is a very good plan.
Copy !req
226. I'm not going to do it.
Copy !req
227. I don't want to spend
my remaining days
sick and in pain.
Copy !req
228. I might not be able
to talk normally.
Copy !req
229. I might not be able
to walk normally.
Copy !req
230. I'll have memory loss.
Copy !req
231. Oh, there is
a less than 20% chance.
Copy !req
232. I don't want to take
that chance.
Copy !req
233. But it could give you
more time.
Copy !req
234. A year, maybe,
Copy !req
235. and in and out of hospitals
half the time.
Copy !req
236. Or, Shaun,
Copy !req
237. or I could do nothing
Copy !req
238. and have six good months.
Copy !req
239. I could spend those good months
Copy !req
240. with you and Lea
Copy !req
241. and Steve.
Copy !req
242. Please don't touch anything.
Copy !req
243. Glassman rejected the plan.
Copy !req
244. His three concerns were
impairment of motor and speech,
Copy !req
245. loss of memory,
side effects of the chemo.
Copy !req
246. I just need to find ways
to mitigate those risks.
Copy !req
247. You are just standing there.
Copy !req
248. You are here to tell me
to stop working
Copy !req
249. on Dr. Glassman's case.
Copy !req
250. No, Shaun.
Copy !req
251. It's your choice.
Copy !req
252. The rocuronium will
temporarily paralyze you
Copy !req
253. to make intubation easier.
Copy !req
254. Once the tube is in, we'll do
a continuous propofol drip.
Copy !req
255. You ready?
Copy !req
256. I forgot a med.
Copy !req
257. I can't say goodbye.
Copy !req
258. Just got you back.
Copy !req
259. I love you.
Copy !req
260. I...
Copy !req
261. I'm so sorry
Copy !req
262. we lost so much time.
Copy !req
263. Hey.
Copy !req
264. We needed that time
to get back here.
Copy !req
265. We weren't ready before.
Copy !req
266. - We were too dumb.
Copy !req
267. We were so dumb.
Copy !req
268. But I did tell you
that I think, one day,
Copy !req
269. we'd both be very happy.
Copy !req
270. I just didn't realize
it would be together.
Copy !req
271. I love you, too, Claire Browne.
Copy !req
272. And I really wish
I could kiss you right now.
Copy !req
273. Where is Shaun?
Copy !req
274. Claire's asking for you.
Copy !req
275. I am working on her case.
Copy !req
276. Currently, I'm working
on Dr. Glassman's,
Copy !req
277. but I will switch back
in 3 minutes and 27 seconds.
Copy !req
278. She might not wake up, Shaun.
Copy !req
279. She wants to say goodbye.
Copy !req
280. I will find a way
to save them both.
Copy !req
281. Oncolytic viruses
have been used to infect
Copy !req
282. and destroy cancer cells,
but the viruses won't work
Copy !req
283. because Dr. Glassman's tumor
was previously EGFR negative...
Copy !req
284. - Shaun.
- ... so there is no target
for the virus to attach to,
Copy !req
285. - but if I could find
a different receptor—
- Shaun.
Copy !req
286. Your very good friend,
who might die,
Copy !req
287. is asking for
a few minutes of your time,
Copy !req
288. but you're too busy ignoring
the expressed wishes
Copy !req
289. of your other friend
who's dying.
Copy !req
290. I know you're scared.
Copy !req
291. But you're being a bad friend
Copy !req
292. when the people you love
could really use a good one.
Copy !req
293. I know how to save Claire.
Copy !req
294. Hello. We can use viruses
Copy !req
295. to cure Claire's
bacterial infection.
Copy !req
296. Bacteriophages, to be precise.
Copy !req
297. They are viruses
that attack and infiltrate
Copy !req
298. only bacteria, and then
destroy them from the inside.
Copy !req
299. Every bacteriophage
only infects certain kinds
of bacteria.
Copy !req
300. All we need to do is find one
Copy !req
301. that will attack
Claire's infection.
Copy !req
302. There are billions of phages.
Copy !req
303. Are any of them known
to work on acinetobacter?
Copy !req
304. - No.
So, we're searching
Copy !req
305. through a billion haystacks
for one needle?
Copy !req
306. Not exactly.
Copy !req
307. Each phage can attack
more than one kind of bacteria,
Copy !req
308. so it is more like searching
a billion haystacks
Copy !req
309. for a million needles.
Copy !req
310. And where are
we supposed to find these
Copy !req
311. haystacks, or needles?
Copy !req
312. Bacteriophages. The metaphor
is not helping.
Copy !req
313. We need to collect the phages,
Copy !req
314. as many as we can,
as fast as we can.
Copy !req
315. Phage therapy
is experimental.
Copy !req
316. We would need a compassionate
use authorization from the FDA,
Copy !req
317. - but they've—
- But that's tomorrow's problem.
Copy !req
318. Today, we've got to find
the right phage.
Copy !req
319. According to
the microbiology department
Copy !req
320. of the CDC,
the most common sources
Copy !req
321. of bacteriophages are swamps,
Copy !req
322. farms, storm drains,
and sewage plants.
Copy !req
323. I noticed her left forearm
felt cold with a weak pulse.
Copy !req
324. - Septic emboli?
- Poor blood flow.
Copy !req
325. Already showing signs
of ischemia.
Copy !req
326. We can do a thrombectomy,
Copy !req
327. try to remove the clot
and slow progress of infection.
Copy !req
328. Her body's putting a ton of
resources into saving this arm,
Copy !req
329. which is taking energy away
from saving her vital organs.
Copy !req
330. She can live without an arm.
Copy !req
331. Let's try
the thrombectomy first.
Copy !req
332. We need transport.
Copy !req
333. I have taken your concerns
into account
Copy !req
334. and formed
a new treatment plan.
Copy !req
335. I don't want
a new treatment plan, Shaun.
Copy !req
336. You don't know.
You haven't looked.
Copy !req
337. We will do
a fluorescence-guided
Copy !req
338. awake brain surgery
with cortical stimulation.
Copy !req
339. Shaun, I appreciate that
you're doing this out of,
Copy !req
340. you know, love.
Copy !req
341. But sometimes
when you love someone,
Copy !req
342. you don't have to
fight every fight.
Copy !req
343. You don't have to persevere
to the ends of the earth.
Copy !req
344. Sometimes, when you
love someone,
Copy !req
345. you just, you know,
take 'em bowling.
Copy !req
346. Six years ago,
you didn't give up,
Copy !req
347. and you got to see me
get married.
Copy !req
348. You got to meet your grandson.
Copy !req
349. You got to save more lives.
Copy !req
350. You were wrong then,
Copy !req
351. - and you are wrong now.
- Shaun, look at me, please.
Copy !req
352. Listen to me.
Look at me, please!
Copy !req
353. Is my tumor recurrent,
yes or no?
Copy !req
354. Yes.
Copy !req
355. Is it aggressive?
Is it even more aggressive?
Copy !req
356. There are
better treatments now.
Copy !req
357. We just need to
buy you some time.
Copy !req
358. I shouldn't have told you.
Copy !req
359. You are being selfish.
Copy !req
360. And you are a coward.
Copy !req
361. You could keep fighting
and have more time with me
Copy !req
362. and with Lea and with Steve,
but you are giving up.
Copy !req
363. You are giving up on all of us.
Copy !req
364. If you are giving up on me...
Copy !req
365. then I have to give up on you.
Copy !req
366. The thrombectomy didn't
fully clear the blood clot.
Copy !req
367. It's obstructing blood flow,
Copy !req
368. and the arm is showing
signs of necrosis.
Copy !req
369. I think we need to amputate.
Copy !req
370. Or we could try
an open thrombectomy.
Copy !req
371. It'll give us better access
to the clot.
Copy !req
372. It'll also risk seeding
the infection to other places.
Copy !req
373. We could start a heparin drip,
Copy !req
374. see if it'll give us
better blood flow.
Copy !req
375. The arm is taking resources
Copy !req
376. the rest of her body
desperately needs.
Copy !req
377. Her creatinine and LFTs
are trending up.
Copy !req
378. Her liver and her kidney
are starting to fail.
Copy !req
379. Putting off amputation
any longer,
Copy !req
380. it risks her life.
Copy !req
381. She wouldn't be
a surgeon anymore.
Copy !req
382. She loves her job
and is very good at it.
Copy !req
383. I know.
Copy !req
384. But what she loves
Copy !req
385. is the young girl in Guatemala
who walked half a day
Copy !req
386. to the hospital
with a broken ankle.
Copy !req
387. And the old man who
just lost his wife of 52 years
Copy !req
388. and needed someone
to hold his hand.
Copy !req
389. And the first-year
surgical resident
Copy !req
390. who was different,
Copy !req
391. but she saw something
special in him.
Copy !req
392. Claire loves people,
Copy !req
393. and she will find a way
to take care of people,
Copy !req
394. no matter what.
Copy !req
395. And I think,
if she was here right now,
Copy !req
396. listening to all of this,
she would tell us
Copy !req
397. to take her damn arm
Copy !req
398. and trust that she will find
a way forward,
Copy !req
399. because she...
Copy !req
400. she always has.
Copy !req
401. Prep the OR.
Copy !req
402. I thought you could use
some baby snuggles.
Copy !req
403. You have no idea.
Copy !req
404. Mm.
Copy !req
405. Come here.
Copy !req
406. Come here. I gotcha.
Copy !req
407. I gotcha.
Copy !req
408. Hi. I gotcha. I gotcha.
Copy !req
409. I said no to
Copy !req
410. Shaun's plan twice.
Copy !req
411. I thought he'd be ready to
Copy !req
412. accept this eventually.
Copy !req
413. Well, "eventually" probably
means more than 48 hours.
Copy !req
414. I spent a couple of decades
trying to prepare him
Copy !req
415. for when I
Copy !req
416. wasn't going
to be around anymore.
Copy !req
417. Apparently, that wasn't enough.
Copy !req
418. Glassy...
Copy !req
419. I love you.
Copy !req
420. You are the first-wisest
Copy !req
421. and second-smartest person
I know,
Copy !req
422. but if you think you
haven't done enough for Shaun,
Copy !req
423. then I am sorry,
but you are a ginormous idiot.
Copy !req
424. Look at who you're holding.
Copy !req
425. That baby is here
because of what you did.
Copy !req
426. I'm here
because of what you did.
Copy !req
427. You saw who he was,
who he could be.
Copy !req
428. You saved his life,
and he knows it.
Copy !req
429. He will come around...
Copy !req
430. eventually.
Copy !req
431. Hi.
Copy !req
432. He doesn't have
a whole lot of time.
Copy !req
433. 10-blade.
Copy !req
434. We've concluded our tour
of the most disgusting barns
Copy !req
435. in Northern California.
Copy !req
436. I have received hundreds
of phages from the CDC.
Copy !req
437. Charlie and Dom
are on their way with 87.
Copy !req
438. Have any showed promise so far?
Copy !req
439. None whatsoever.
Copy !req
440. Shaun, uh, can I talk to you?
Copy !req
441. I have samples to test.
Copy !req
442. Uh, it's important.
Copy !req
443. We'll keep gathering.
Copy !req
444. I know of
a slaughterhouse nearby.
Copy !req
445. You know
of a slaughterhouse?
Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
446. You can't shut Glassman out.
Copy !req
447. I presented him with two plans.
Copy !req
448. He doesn't want them.
That's his choice.
Copy !req
449. His choice is wrong.
Copy !req
450. No, it isn't, Shaun.
Copy !req
451. I know how hard it is
for you to accept.
Copy !req
452. I know you don't want
to face any of this,
Copy !req
453. but Glassman is dying, Shaun.
Copy !req
454. And all this work you've
been doing to try to save him
Copy !req
455. is really for you.
Copy !req
456. You need a new plan.
Copy !req
457. A plan to say goodbye.
Copy !req
458. Right now, you can't
make yourself feel okay
Copy !req
459. about Glassman's decision,
and that is okay.
Copy !req
460. You don't have to.
Copy !req
461. But...
Copy !req
462. he is going to die,
Copy !req
463. and if you are not with him
for his final days,
Copy !req
464. you will regret it
for the rest of your life.
Copy !req
465. So...
Copy !req
466. you need to plan
Copy !req
467. for your final days
with your father.
Copy !req
468. You are a very good friend.
Copy !req
469. I should have come earlier.
Copy !req
470. I am sorry.
Copy !req
471. Goodbye, Claire.
Copy !req
472. We've got it!
Copy !req
473. We've got it!
Copy !req
474. - The bacteriophage?
- Yes!
Copy !req
475. The right bacteriophage?
Copy !req
476. I said, "We've got it."
What else would I have meant?
Copy !req
477. Oh-ye!
Copy !req
478. I told you. I was not wrong.
Copy !req
479. I was not wrong
to not say goodbye.
Copy !req
480. I will see you very soon.
Copy !req
481. You have the data.
It's in the green folders.
Copy !req
482. Stress the time frame,
Copy !req
483. the bacterial lysis times
were very striking,
Copy !req
484. and there were low levels
of endotoxins.
Copy !req
485. Oh, also, uh, her amputated arm
isn't strictly relevant,
Copy !req
486. but because we're applying
for a compassionate use,
Copy !req
487. anything that'll
make her appear
Copy !req
488. more sympathetic
will be helpful.
Copy !req
489. We can appeal.
Copy !req
490. But the whole point
of a compassionate use
Copy !req
491. is to allow people
with no other option.
Copy !req
492. They can take risks.
Copy !req
493. I am so angry.
Copy !req
494. Are you not angry?
Copy !req
495. Go back to the hospital
Copy !req
496. and prep Claire for
the bacteriophage treatment.
Copy !req
497. Are you going to...
Copy !req
498. I don't know. I need to think.
Copy !req
499. Are you okay, Shaun?
Copy !req
500. Is Claire going to be okay?
Why did you text us?
Copy !req
501. I texted you
Copy !req
502. because when I have
important news,
Copy !req
503. you two are the people
I need to share it with.
Copy !req
504. On the day the copper pipes
Copy !req
505. in the old building
smelled like burnt food...
Copy !req
506. my brother taught me
Copy !req
507. that just because you
love somebody doesn't mean
Copy !req
508. you get to love them forever.
Copy !req
509. But I was okay
Copy !req
510. because I had you,
Dr. Glassman.
Copy !req
511. And on the day that...
Copy !req
512. On the day
that you go to heaven...
Copy !req
513. I will have Lea.
Copy !req
514. I will have little Steve.
Copy !req
515. And on the day
the carousel smelled like oil,
Copy !req
516. the carousel you used
to go to with Maddie,
Copy !req
517. I told you I would go there
Copy !req
518. and think of you
after you're gone, and I will.
Copy !req
519. But I want to go
before then too.
Copy !req
520. I will go there with you.
Copy !req
521. And I will go bowling.
I will go bowling with you.
Copy !req
522. I will make a plan.
But I can't today because...
Copy !req
523. Because on the day you stood up
for me, I met Claire.
Copy !req
524. And she believed me.
Copy !req
525. And I spoke to people
in this room,
Copy !req
526. and I told them
I want to save people
Copy !req
527. so they can become adults
Copy !req
528. and have children
and love those children.
Copy !req
529. But I don't...
Copy !req
530. I don't need to save everyone.
Copy !req
531. I just need to save Claire.
Copy !req
532. The FDA did not approve
her treatment.
Copy !req
533. But I am going to give it
to her anyway.
Copy !req
534. And then I won't be
a doctor anymore.
Copy !req
535. And that's okay.
Copy !req
536. No. No.
Copy !req
537. No, Shaun, that's not okay.
Copy !req
538. Thank you.
Copy !req
539. I am Dr. Shaun Murphy.
Copy !req
540. I am Chief of Surgery
Copy !req
541. at San Jose
Saint Bonaventure Hospital.
Copy !req
542. I have
autism spectrum disorder,
Copy !req
543. which is part of the reason
that I remember the names
Copy !req
544. of all 1,524 people
whose lives I've helped save.
Copy !req
545. There were a lot of people
Copy !req
546. who did not want me
to be a surgeon
Copy !req
547. at Saint Bonaventure Hospital,
or anywhere,
Copy !req
548. because I was different.
Copy !req
549. I couldn't make eye contact.
Copy !req
550. I didn't know how to lie.
I made people uncomfortable.
Copy !req
551. But someone believed in me.
Copy !req
552. Dr. Aaron Glassman...
Copy !req
553. was my friend.
Copy !req
554. I love you, Dr. Glassman.
Copy !req
555. I love you more, Dr. Murphy.
Copy !req
556. But you don't
even speak Ukrainian.
Copy !req
557. They have translators, Mom.
Copy !req
558. I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
559. Thanks.
Copy !req
560. We have to go.
Copy !req
561. Dr. Claire Browne
Copy !req
562. is my friend.
Copy !req
563. Hello.
Copy !req
564. Dr. Glassman and I
saved her life.
Copy !req
565. Dr. Glassman saved
over 4,000 lives.
Copy !req
566. He would say less,
but I give him credit
Copy !req
567. for all the lives
that I have saved,
Copy !req
568. because he taught me
Copy !req
569. a mnemonic for remembering
Copy !req
570. the effects
of organophosphate poisoning,
Copy !req
571. and he taught me that
Copy !req
572. if you just palm grip
the needle driver,
Copy !req
573. you will get
way more maneuverability,
and force control.
Copy !req
574. And he taught me...
Copy !req
575. that when you touch one life,
Copy !req
576. you don't just touch one life.
Copy !req
577. You touch every life
that that life touches.
Copy !req
578. Dr. Glassman said
many wise things. Yes.
Copy !req
579. And over the years, I have
tried to write them down.
Copy !req
580. "Think about
what people can do,
Copy !req
581. not about
what people can't do."
Copy !req
582. "Hear what I have to say,
Copy !req
583. and then decide
if it's bad advice."
Copy !req
584. "Questions are good."
Copy !req
585. "Leads to awareness
and understanding."
Copy !req
586. "And, who knows,
maybe even acceptance."
Copy !req
587. And when he wanted the board
to hire me, he said,
Copy !req
588. "We will be a better hospital
for hiring him."
Copy !req
589. "We will be better people
for hiring him."
Copy !req
590. And then he slammed
the desk with his hand,
Copy !req
591. because that is
how you communicate
Copy !req
592. that you really mean
what you are saying.
Copy !req
593. He always knew people
were looking to him,
Copy !req
594. that they might
take lessons from him.
Copy !req
595. And if they did,
Copy !req
596. he always wanted
that lesson to be...
Copy !req
597. "Don't be an ass."
Copy !req
598. "Don't be an ass."
Copy !req
599. It's not always easy.
Copy !req
600. Together, we planned,
Copy !req
601. and six months after he died,
Copy !req
602. I started...
Copy !req
603. the Dr. Aaron Glassman
Foundation
Copy !req
604. for Neurodiversity in Medicine,
Copy !req
605. which is today run by myself
and Dr. Claire Browne,
Copy !req
606. and has affiliations
with 17 hospitals
Copy !req
607. and 32 medical schools.
Copy !req
608. I wanted to help people
Copy !req
609. and save lives.
Copy !req
610. And I wanted to make
a lot of money
Copy !req
611. so that I could buy
a television.
Copy !req
612. But because of Dr. Glassman,
Copy !req
613. I have much more than that.
Copy !req
614. I have many friends.
Copy !req
615. And I have a family.
Copy !req
616. And I have two televisions.
Copy !req
