Whoa, I feel good Massive carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty furnace.
There was a climate change conference, so we've got dozens more ambassadors coming out.
Give him 100% high flow and get him to The Dam.
I knew that I would [SIRENS WAILING.]
So good So good I got you So good So good Hey! [ALL SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[LAUGHING.]
[LAUGHING.]
[LAUGHTER.]
There you are.
I knew you'd get lost.
All the new medical directors get lost.
I'll take those odds.
[FUNKY MUSIC.]
- Grab a sheet, will you? - EMS just dropped off.
[RADIO CHATTER.]
- Wait.
- What? Do you hear that? Hear what? Doctor Bloom, she's dead.
No pulse, no BP, cyanotic, rigor mortis.
I need a defib ventilator, ALS, and resuscitation team, now! That's impossible, she's dead.
Well, at least you didn't kill her twice.
New Amsterdam has a public school, prison ward, and facilities for the UN.
We performed the world's first C-section in the world's first maternity ward.
New Amsterdam is America's first public hospital.
Patients don't need insurance, money - Dora, I know the history.
- The dean makes me tell it to every new medical director.
And how many of those have you worked with? Five in five years.
Dr.
Helen Sharpe.
- Max Goodwin, how can I help? - Oh, you're too kind.
Welcome to The Dam.
- Why are you in scrubs? - Because I'm a doctor.
- Going somewhere? - I have to tape segments with "The Morning Show" and Megyn Kelly, then give the keynote address at the oncology conference - in Vail.
- I'll take that for you.
- Thank you.
- Wow, you're gonna do all that - on your lunch break.
- [LAUGHS.]
You're funny.
I'll be back next week.
We'll lunch at the Tavern my treat.
Unlike the previous medical director, I actually expect you to practice medicine at this hospital because I don't know, it's your job.
You're funny.
You said that.
I'll tell you what.
I'll continue giving speeches all over the world, because you can't afford the kind of publicity I give this hospital.
And I'll continue my on-air appearances with Ellen, Oprah, and anyone else powerful enough to go by one name, because someone has to remind New York that even though New Amsterdam is an under-funded public hospital, we can still go toe-to-toe with the privates from basic care to state-of-the-art procedures.
I will be back next week.
We'll lunch at the Tavern.
My treat.
[FUNKY MUSIC.]
I like her.
If she comes back, let's keep her.
[ANNOUNCEMENTS PLAYING OVER PA.]
[PHONE LINE RINGING.]

- [PHONE RINGING.]
[EXHALES.]
Sorry.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Max.
Is everything okay? Just calling to say hi.
Really? - Isn't that what people do? - People, yeah.
You? Not so much.
[LAUGHS.]

Have you had any time - to think - Max.
It's time.
Um - Georgia, I have to - Save the world? I know.
Go.
But listen listen, I know what I did was wrong.
I should have put you and the baby first, but I am gonna change.
And I'm gonna win you back.
Well, you have 12 weeks.
[ALL CHATTERING.]
- Hey, Reynolds.
- One second.
- Hey.
- I've been thinking about you.
You, uh, wanna grab a drink later? - I can't.
- You know when I say "grab a drink" I don't really mean "grab a drink.
" I do.
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- [RUSTLING.]
- Sorry.
[GRUNTS.]
So sorry.
You guys okay? There he is.
[SIGHS.]
Uh my sister Luna and I were, um, born here in New Amsterdam.
And then eight years later, uh Luna died here.
It was a hospital-acquired infection.
Entirely preventable.
So working here being able to save someone else's sister or someone's daughter It's a dream come true for me.
Anyway, so [CLEARS THROAT.]
How can I help? Uh, sorry.
That's not a trick question.
I'm I'm really just asking.
I work for you so you can work for your patients.
How can I help? Just shout it out.
Really? No one? Wow.
Okay, why don't we try this: I'll go first.
Will everyone in the Cardiac Surgical Department please raise your hands.
Don't be shy, just get them up there.
Great.
[INDISTINCT MURMURING.]
Great, thank you.
- You're all fired.
- [ALL GASP, EXCLAIM.]
Any department who places billing above care no matter how much money you make this hospital you will be terminated.
Oh, I am serious.
Bye-bye.
[ALL MURMURING.]
We're gonna be starting over, all right? - [LINE TRILLING.]
- Without you.
Sorry.
Next, will all the department chairs raise your hands, please.
I have no idea how you managed to keep this hospital afloat with so little help, so I'm gonna hire you 50 new attendings.
Because untrained residents will no longer be running this hospital, regardless of how much money their university makes off their indentured servitude or how much time it affords some of you to play golf.
[ANGRY MURMURING.]
[LAUGHING SOFTLY.]
So let me ask again How can I help? Yeah.
Person not calling their lawyer.
Lauren Bloom, emergency department.
Uh, I want to get rid of our waiting room.
Okay, what do you where do you want to put it? I want to get rid of it.
I want to move patients direct to bed no waiting room.
Done.
Really? Sure, let's try it.
- Yeah.
- Hi Dr.
Iggy Frome, head of psych.
Can we do something about healthy food? What do you want to do about it? Uh, have some.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
To eat in in the hospital.
[LAUGHING.]
Okay.
Done.
Aces.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- [GRUNTS SOFTLY.]
You know, we all feel like the system is too big to change, but guess what? We are the system.
And we need to change.
So just tell me what you need what your patients need and I don't care if it's not covered, I don't care if the board said no, let's get into some trouble.
Let's be doctors again.
[SPIRITED MUSIC.]
Okay, I appreciate it.
Go, and I'll see you out in the wards.
Thanks.
[ALL CHATTERING.]
Uh, Bloom.
Sorry, could I, uh, borrow you for a minute? Um, I need you to do a throat biopsy.
- It'll just take a second.
- Sure.
Uh, for what patient? Uh, me.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[ANNOUNCEMENTS PLAYING OVER PA.]
- Yeah, hey, how are you? - Hello? My name is Alain.
I wrote my name down.
Then we'll call you when we have a doctor available.
Okay, hun? At New Amsterdam's department of pediatric oncology, we strive to ensure that the children feel that they are in a relaxed, positive environment You know what, she is good.
- She is.
- How long have you - noticed irritation? - Do you think she's - coming back early? - No.
- Max? - Yeah, four weeks.
Six.
Maybe eight? I don't know.
You look tired.
- Do you need a nap? - I need you to stay still.
- Mm.
- Good luck with that.
[PHONE RINGING.]
[MUMBLING.]
Who's calling? Dean of medicine.
Third time.
- Ignore.
- Max.
- Please stop talking.
- Yeah.
Wait, what's on my hot list after this? - What's a hot list? - It's a to-do list, but, you know, with a with a cooler - cooler name.
- Call the dean back.
- Uh, after that.
- You know, I can - come back later.
- Well, you've got the entire United Nations in the ICU, and a cardiac patient being prepped for surgery.
Right wait, why is a cardiac surgery - on my hot list? - Because you fired - all the cardiac surgeons.
- Right, but I had all the new patients rerouted to University.
Not the ones from Rikers.
Maybe you shouldn't have fired the entire department.
They were all corrupt and lazy.
- See? - Except for Dr.
Reynolds.
How you know that? Just read his file.
Ow.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Doctor - Frome? - Please sign in and take a seat.
Dr.
Frome.
Young lady, it is way too early in my day - to call security, but I will.
- Dr.
Frome! Dr.
Frome! Dr.
Frome! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey! - Hey, it's okay! - Dr.
Frome! I got it.
Jemma, hi, hey.
I got this, thank you.
All right, come on, come with me.
Thank you.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
It's okay, whatever it is.
It happened again.
Floyd Reynolds? - Max Goodwin.
- Yeah, I remember you from an hour ago.
When you fired me.
Yale.
Fancy.
What secret society were you? Skull and Bones? - Scroll and Key? - The one that took a poor black kid.
Which one was that? School of medicine.
So, Floyd, why did you become - a cardiovascular surgeon? - You know, all due respect, I don't need a pat on the back on the way out.
That's good, because I don't intend to pat you on the back given the appalling history of patient care in your department.
If I were you and I had analyzed our performance - I would have done the same.
- Hmm.
By performance, do you mean the highest mortality and infection rates in New York City? 'Cause that's like the Beyoncé of performances if Beyoncé, you know, killed people.
Yeah, and don't forget our rampant culture of inflating billable hours.
Except you didn't.
I read your files.
You have the lowest billing rates in the department.
What's wrong? You don't like surgery? - I love surgery.
- Then why did you perform half as many procedures as your colleagues? Because my patients didn't need them.
Because there's other ways to help people than my cutting them open.
[MELLOW MUSIC.]
- That's a cute kid.
- [LAUGHS.]
That's my nephew.
I'm unfiring you.
To do what? To run the Cardiac Surgical Department.
There is no Cardiac Surgical Department.
Then build one.
A good one.
I mean, it's only people's heart's we're talking about.
You do know the whole system's rigged, don't you? I mean, they're not gonna let you come in here and just help people.
So let's help as many as we can before they figure us out.
You can't say no.
You already unpacked.
Jemma first came to me eight years ago after she was sexually abused by her foster father.
Just tell me how long before I can place her.
Two years after that, she came back after she was found chained to a radiator being fed like a dog.
- How long, Iggy? - This girl has been abused three times in the foster care system, and you want to put her right back in? What other options do we have? [KIDS CHATTERING.]
- I'm keeping her.
- What do you mean, "keeping her"? I mean I'm not discharging her.
I'm keeping her.
- Until when? - Until she's 18.
- [SCOFFS.]
But that's - Two years.
So you are committing a patient just to keep them out of foster care? [SIGHS.]
Yeah.
[FUNKY MUSIC.]
Doctor, um Goodwin, but call me Max.
I was just taking an interest.
Surely you don't have the time to take an interest - in every single case.
- Well, that's why I wear my running shoes.
I've been practicing here for 25 years, The key to survival is to have more than one speed.
I can go faster.
That's not what I meant.
Just keep me in the loop on this, will you? Hi.
[SIGHS.]
Good afternoon, Mr.
MartÃn.
I'm Dr.
Vijay Kapoor, your wife's neurologist.
- What happened to her? - Let me first find my glasses - so that I can read her chart.
- Eh Oh.
[LAUGHS.]
There they are.
Thank you.
Presented cyanotic and rigor mortis.
Administered Diazepam and Valium.
So, Mr.
MartÃn it appears Patricia's brain convinced her heart that she was dead, even though she was very much alive.
We are going to perform a few tests to find out why.
In the mean time, - you and I are going to talk.
- Talk? Talk about your life together, how you met, how you live.
What does that have to do with what happened to her? Everything.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[ANNOUNCEMENTS PLAYING OVER PA.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Get a resuscitation team.
- Give me a bio.
- Respiration shallow.
Okay, give me a CBC, BMP, chem 7, and a saline lock.
- Anybody know who this is? - I found a boarding pass in his pocket.
Stop.
Everyone back away from the patient.
Masks on, now.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER.]
[LINE TRILLING.]
- This is Max.
- We have a patient in the ED from Liberia presenting with all the signs of malaria, Lassa Fever, TB, or Ebola.
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
First thing we do is call the mayor's office and the CDC if we even suspect ebola virus.
Now, the patient is in an isolation chamber with negative pressure airflow.
That chamber is equipped with every available medicine should the patient need to self medicate.
- What about us? - Ebola isn't airborne, but if you develop symptoms you will join him.
Until then, you will help him.
Everyone interacting with the patient is required to wear personal protective equipment at all times.
No shortcuts, ever.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Good.
[DOOR HISSES.]
Once blood is drawn, the test results will come back in 24 to 48 hours.
Commencing a Code Green blood draw at 1:10 PM, New Amsterdam Hospital.
Your husband said you are taking Haloperidol.
For two years.
For depression.
And last year you were diagnosed with Parkinson's.
Does any of it explain - what is happening to me? - Not yet.
I'm going to run some more tests, - and hopefully - More tests? But she's in pain, and and she's not getting any better.
Mr.
MartÃn, I need some more information before I can make a diagnosis.
How can you not do something for her? Shh.
We are going to do something.
We are going to keep talking.
Where are my glasses? Okay, thank you.
[BOTH ARGUING IN RUSSIAN.]
[SPIRITED PERCUSSION MUSIC.]
Whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's the problem? - I demand doctor.
- He wants to be discharged.
Dr.
Chen needs him for observation.
Mister Ambassador, I'm Dr.
Goodwin.
I am the new medical director here, and I am officially discharging you.
[SIGHS.]
Thank you.
Before you go, can you just translate one thing for your security detail? [GRUNTS.]
What? Since you're being released early and against the wishes of your doctor, they should look for any signs of lethargy, brain damage, cardiac arrest, sudden loss of consciousness, and, of course, rectal bleeding.
Mister Ambassador? Maybe I stay.
[SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN.]
Can I have our menus back? [BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Claro.
Hey.
Welcome back.
I heard you got promoted.
Right after I got fired.
- Lord works in mysterious ways.
- Mm.
She does, doesn't she? A patient from Rikers was admitted with 17 lacs.
Ruptured spleen, aortic tear.
We got him stable in the ED, but the tear is all you.
You, uh, wanna grab a drink tomorrow? I can't.
You know when I say "grab a drink" - I don't actually - Yes, I do.
Okay.
Wait, you - you're not trying to - [GROANS.]
Look, Lauren - I think you're great.
- Oh, wow.
- You are trying to.
- Okay, I I guess I'd rather us just be friends again.
You know, colleagues.
But I thought we We did.
- And I thought you - I do.
[SCOFFS.]
So then why not see where this goes? [SIGHS.]
I wish I could, I really do, but I can't.
Because? Because Hey, I'm a big girl.
I can take it.
What? Because you're not black.
[GATE BUZZES.]
Gate! Hands.
Thank you.
Hands, hands.
Thank you.
Hands, hands Jemma.
You know pens and pencils aren't allowed outside - the classroom.
- The pen's attached - to my journal.
- Okay.
You'll have to give me the journal, then.
No.
You'll get it backin the morning.
- It's mine.
- Jemma, give me the journal.
Jemma, don't do this.
[ECHOING.]
Jemma - please - But it's mine! - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [SCREAMING.]
[ALL SHOUTING.]
[DARK MUSIC.]
Dr.
Frome told me that he gave you that journal when you were ten.
- It's mine.
- Hmm.
- Can I ask why you pushed - It's the only thing that's mine.
Jemma what do you want to happen? [SOMBER MUSIC.]
Jemma.
What do you want to happen? Nobody's ever asked me that before.
Do you want to stay here, Jemma? Do you want to stay at New Amsterdam? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Well, would you like me to get you placed in a new home by Social Services? Just decide for me.
I mean, you're gonna do it anyway.
That's that's not true.
That no.
Hey, Jemma.
Keep it.
Like, what's the point? [SLAMS BOOK.]
Return them to baseline and put them through the system.
That's my job.
Look if you can't help Jemma as a doctor then just help her as a human being.
Am I allowed to do that? You are now.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
Dr.
Goodwin? - How can I help? - Dr.
Kapoor's patient in 1208, you wanted to be kept in the loop? Yes, thank you.
How's she doing? I think Dr.
Kapoor is going to kill her.
Max.
This is Detective Rose from NYPD and Agent Bratton from the FBI.
The CDC alerted us to your patient with Ebola.
Uh, we're still waiting on the test results.
I'll be with you in five minutes.
The NSA just intercepted a video made by ISIS.
They claim they sent one of their followers from Liberia to New York City infected with the Ebola virus.
Your patient is now a terror suspect.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
A man came to my village.
What was his name? Ayaan Last name? I don't know.
He was showing off money he made in America from selling kufi hats and dashikis In Times Square.
He offered to give me clothes to sell and a plane ticket if I give him half of what I make.
And you believed him.
Yes He took me to doctor for traveler's vaccination.
Alain, where did Ayaan want you to go when you got to America? Youth hostel in Times Square.
Then why did you come here? This is the only hospital in America I heard of.
[PANEL BEEPS.]
- He's not a terrorist.
We'll gather the evidence.
If he was a terrorist, he would have gone to Times Square, where he could have infected the entire city, but he didn't.
He came here to get better.
He was clearly tricked into getting something injected into his bloodstream.
You see that, right? - Dr.
Goodwin - Just please promise me you will look into his story.
I'll look into it.
What does that even mean? "Because I'm not black.
" Patient is stable, in case you were wondering.
Oh, good.
So, are you gonna answer my question? [SIGHS.]
I'm 35 years old.
I want to get married, I wanna have kids, and I want them to be black.
[LAUGHS.]
You know you can't just - order that off a menu, right? - Well, yeah, but I also know I'm not gonna meet anyone - if you and I are - Getting our swirl on? [SIGHS.]
Look, I don't expect you to understand.
I'm sorry, okay? - I want to, I do.
- I have this plan for how I want my life to look, all right? I have for a long time, and that plan's - important to me.
- So what part of the plan was taking me back to your place and Whoa, whoa, hey.
Look, okay.
It wasn't, all right? But when I was with you I forgot I had a plan.
No, sorry.
I still don't understand.
Well, I guess that's the point, right? You can't.
You can't understand how confusing it was growing up watching every black athlete have a white girl on his arm.
Or how betrayed black women felt my mom, my sisters watching it happen time and again.
I get it.
You're just taking one for the team.
I love black women.
So do I.
But I don't see one asking you out for a drink.
[FUNKY PERCUSSION MUSIC.]
I asked you to keep me in the loop on 1208.
I needed to conduct thorough patient I'm taking the patient out of your service.
- Because? - Because you should have made a presumptive diagnosis.
Because you should have aggressively treated the Parkinson's.
Except she doesn't have Parkinson's.
PET scan.
Small black flecks over her heart.
Artifacts.
Look closer.
Two years ago, Patricia was misdiagnosed with depression.
She was prescribed Haloperidol, - which caused stiffness - Right.
As the result, she was misdiagnosed with Parkinson and prescribed Levodopa, which made it impossible for her to sleep.
So she was prescribed Hydroxyzine.
That toxic combination caused both cardiac arrest and rigidity.
But this whole time, her true symptom was her immune system fighting a tumor that nobody could see.
Small black flecks.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
- Malignant thymoma.
- Yeah.
If I continued treated her for Parkinson's, she would have another cardiac arrest and died.
By taking my time by slowing down I bought her another year.
Maybe two.
How can I help? When she wakes up, you can help me tell her she's going to die.
Well, move Sugarman to Wednesday and I'll do Hinkle via Skype from the hotel.
Just make sure I have his updated uh, Ron Ron, I said JFK.
Why are we back at New Amsterdam? [CARS HONKING.]
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
Hi.
Remember me? You told my driver to bring me back here? No, I told our driver to bring you back here because Ron works for New Amsterdam and so do you, remember? - If I miss my flight - You can keep your job.
Why do you care about me so much? Because you're a good doctor.
Because you bring in patients who would otherwise never go to a public hospital, which helps pay for the patients who can't go anywhere else.
- So it's about money.
- It's about care.
Which is why I can't figure out why'd you'd rather give lectures to semi-retired physicians than actually provide care to patients.
- I'll see you next week.
- Come back in 48 hours or don't come back at all.
Blanca? Hi.
- Dr.
Frome from New Amsterdam.
- Hi.
Thank you so much for meeting me.
I, um I brought you donuts.
I ate one already.
I'm sorry.
I actually ate two.
I don't know why I said one, that's [LAUGHS.]
I have to be at work soon, so I don't Yeah.
No, of course.
Uh, I just I wanted you to see this.
It's, uh it's a journal from the patient I was telling you about Jemma? Normally there'd be privacy issues but, uh, you know, this is the one thing that Jemma kept from foster home to foster home.
And, uh, one of those homes was actually your mother's.
Uh, C Camilla, right? That that was her name? Camilla? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Well, Camilla was the first foster parent to really make Jemma feel safe.
You know, safe to grow and safe to to be a kid, really.
And, uh, after Camilla died, Jemma wrote pages and pages about her in here.
You can you can read.
My mother and I were estranged when she died.
I didn't even know she took in foster kids.
- Oh.
- I was a tough kid to raise.
Stubborn, wild.
Left when I was 16.
You know, that sounds a lot like Jemma.
Tough, but she's got a big heart.
I can't be her foster parent if that's what this is about.
I I'm sorry.
[SIGHS.]
This was a long shot, I know that.
Thank you for meeting me.
I I really do appreciate it.
[MELLOW MUSIC.]
Can I just leave this with you? You don't have to get it back to me I'll come back and pick it up later but can I just leave it with you? - Why? - I think that you'll see that your mother gave Jemma all the love that she couldn't give to you.
That love didn't go to waste.
I don't understand I never had Parkinson's? And and the depression? Hormones from your tumor.
They triggered your immune system and set off a cascade of symptoms.
Patricia your mind is strong and resilient.
I'm sorry you were led to believe otherwise.
Mrs.
MartÃn you could stay here but in this case the treatment is worse than the disease.
[SNIFFLES.]
And with so little time maybe there's someplace else you'd rather be.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
No, we stay here.
We fight.
She get better.
No.
I want to go home.
[SOBS.]
To see my parents, my girls.
I haven't seen them in 11 years.
That's a wonderful idea.
We can't go home.
Home is Chiapas.
We crossed the border without papers.
We cross back - we will be arrested.
- I have to go home.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Mister Ambassador? - Yes.
- Can I ask a favor? Of course.
You need some Yankees tickets? I need you to repatriate two of your citizens.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[COUGHING.]
Hemoptysis! He's crashing! Hey, can someone help me in my suit? Alain! Alain, you need to grab the oxygen mask! Alain! Alain, it is right above you.
[COUGHING.]
[GASPING.]
- Helmet, now! - [COUGHING, GASPING.]
[ALARM WAILING.]
Forget it.
I'm going in.
Dr.
Bloom, wait.
Okay.
Bloom! Get out of there, now! It's too late! I'm already in! There's too much blood, I can't see anything.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
Heart rate is dropping.
He needs adrenaline.
I can't stop bagging.
Adrenaline first, oxygen after, okay? Go.
Okay, now push 10 ml's, open wide.
- But that's too much.
- Not for this kind of virus.
Max, it'll send his heart rate too high.
Push 10 hard and fast, right now.
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
Lauren I know what you're gonna say.
That was that was stupid.
I violated the protocol.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Lauren Your glove.
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
Doctor.
Sorry, I can't talk right now.
There's something wrong with the baby.
[WEEPING.]
Oh, my God.
- She's bleeding.
- I need a trans-abdominal ultrasound, mag sulfate 4 grams.
- BP 160 over 110.
- How we doing - with that second - Draw a chem 24 and coag panel.
Let's get the fetal monitor on.
- How can I help? - By getting out of the way.
- This is my wife.
- And she needs you.
- Oh, God.
- Off the o2.
[ALL CHATTERING.]
ALL: One, two, three.
- [GASPS.]
- Baby's in distress.
- No - You're okay, I'm right here.
- I'm with you.
- Push 4 mag sulfate.
- Max.
- No, no, just focus on me.
- I'm right here.
- [HEAVY BREATHING.]
Ultrasound's up.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
She's complete previa.
- What's that? - It means your placenta is obstructing your cervix.
There's nowhere for the baby to go.
Corticosteroids and a unit of O-negative, and type and cross.
- This is because of me.
- You did nothing wrong.
- It's my fault.
- Georgia, if we can't control the bleeding, we're going to need to do an emergency caesarean, understand? The baby is not ready.
She's not ready.
We're not gonna have a choice.

Bloom can tell you, the Lassa virus can be treated with antiviral medication, which we gave you.
[ALL CLAPPING.]
- Tears stream Down your face When you lose something - Nice job, Dr.

No, no, I was just, um my sister was here in this room a long time ago and I was just, uh Introducing her to someone.
I, um I saw the Farmer's Market.
Oh, yeah? Did you buy anything? Couldn't.
They were sold out.
Made a few changes while you were gone.
I didn't think you were coming back.
Neither did I.
So much death here.
[MELLOW MUSIC.]
It got to you, didn't it? No, actually.
I became immune to it, which is even worse.
So why did you come back? Because of you.
People are excited, Max.
For the first time in a long time, they are excited to be doctors again.
I wanna be excited too.
But you need to slow down.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS.]
I get that a lot.
You have cancer.
Squamous cell carcinoma.
But you knew that, didn't you? How can I help?

[LAUGHING.]

[LAUGHTER.]
There you are.
I knew you'd get lost.
All the new medical directors get lost.
I'll take those odds.
[FUNKY MUSIC.]
- Grab a sheet, will you? - EMS just dropped off.
[RADIO CHATTER.]
- Wait.
- What? Do you hear that? Hear what? Doctor Bloom, she's dead.
No pulse, no BP, cyanotic, rigor mortis.
I need a defib ventilator, ALS, and resuscitation team, now! That's impossible, she's dead.
Well, at least you didn't kill her twice.
New Amsterdam has a public school, prison ward, and facilities for the UN.
We performed the world's first C-section in the world's first maternity ward.
New Amsterdam is America's first public hospital.
Patients don't need insurance, money - Dora, I know the history.
- The dean makes me tell it to every new medical director.
And how many of those have you worked with? Five in five years.
Dr.
Helen Sharpe.
- Max Goodwin, how can I help? - Oh, you're too kind.
Welcome to The Dam.
- Why are you in scrubs? - Because I'm a doctor.
- Going somewhere? - I have to tape segments with "The Morning Show" and Megyn Kelly, then give the keynote address at the oncology conference - in Vail.
- I'll take that for you.
- Thank you.
- Wow, you're gonna do all that - on your lunch break.
- [LAUGHS.]
You're funny.
I'll be back next week.
We'll lunch at the Tavern my treat.
Unlike the previous medical director, I actually expect you to practice medicine at this hospital because I don't know, it's your job.
You're funny.
You said that.
I'll tell you what.
I'll continue giving speeches all over the world, because you can't afford the kind of publicity I give this hospital.
And I'll continue my on-air appearances with Ellen, Oprah, and anyone else powerful enough to go by one name, because someone has to remind New York that even though New Amsterdam is an under-funded public hospital, we can still go toe-to-toe with the privates from basic care to state-of-the-art procedures.
I will be back next week.
We'll lunch at the Tavern.
My treat.

If she comes back, let's keep her.

So sorry.
You guys okay? There he is.
[SIGHS.]
Uh my sister Luna and I were, um, born here in New Amsterdam.
And then eight years later, uh Luna died here.
It was a hospital-acquired infection.
Entirely preventable.
So working here being able to save someone else's sister or someone's daughter It's a dream come true for me.
Anyway, so [CLEARS THROAT.]
How can I help? Uh, sorry.
That's not a trick question.
I'm I'm really just asking.
I work for you so you can work for your patients.
How can I help? Just shout it out.
Really? No one? Wow.
Okay, why don't we try this: I'll go first.
Will everyone in the Cardiac Surgical Department please raise your hands.
Don't be shy, just get them up there.
Great.
[INDISTINCT MURMURING.]
Great, thank you.
- You're all fired.
- [ALL GASP, EXCLAIM.]
Any department who places billing above care no matter how much money you make this hospital you will be terminated.
Oh, I am serious.
Bye-bye.
[ALL MURMURING.]
We're gonna be starting over, all right? - [LINE TRILLING.]
- Without you.
Sorry.
Next, will all the department chairs raise your hands, please.
I have no idea how you managed to keep this hospital afloat with so little help, so I'm gonna hire you 50 new attendings.
Because untrained residents will no longer be running this hospital, regardless of how much money their university makes off their indentured servitude or how much time it affords some of you to play golf.
[ANGRY MURMURING.]
[LAUGHING SOFTLY.]
So let me ask again How can I help? Yeah.
Person not calling their lawyer.
Lauren Bloom, emergency department.
Uh, I want to get rid of our waiting room.
Okay, what do you where do you want to put it? I want to get rid of it.
I want to move patients direct to bed no waiting room.
Done.
Really? Sure, let's try it.
- Yeah.
- Hi Dr.
Iggy Frome, head of psych.
Can we do something about healthy food? What do you want to do about it? Uh, have some.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
To eat in in the hospital.
[LAUGHING.]
Okay.
Done.

Thank you.
- Thank you.
- [GRUNTS SOFTLY.]
You know, we all feel like the system is too big to change, but guess what? We are the system.
And we need to change.
So just tell me what you need what your patients need and I don't care if it's not covered, I don't care if the board said no, let's get into some trouble.
Let's be doctors again.
[SPIRITED MUSIC.]
Okay, I appreciate it.
Go, and I'll see you out in the wards.
Thanks.
[ALL CHATTERING.]
Uh, Bloom.
Sorry, could I, uh, borrow you for a minute? Um, I need you to do a throat biopsy.
- It'll just take a second.
- Sure.
Uh, for what patient? Uh, me.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[ANNOUNCEMENTS PLAYING OVER PA.]
- Yeah, hey, how are you? - Hello? My name is Alain.
I wrote my name down.
Then we'll call you when we have a doctor available.
Okay, hun? At New Amsterdam's department of pediatric oncology, we strive to ensure that the children feel that they are in a relaxed, positive environment You know what, she is good.
- She is.
- How long have you - noticed irritation? - Do you think she's - coming back early? - No.
- Max? - Yeah, four weeks.

Maybe eight? I don't know.
You look tired.
- Do you need a nap? - I need you to stay still.
- Mm.
- Good luck with that.
[PHONE RINGING.]
[MUMBLING.]
Who's calling? Dean of medicine.
Third time.
- Ignore.
- Max.
- Please stop talking.
- Yeah.
Wait, what's on my hot list after this? - What's a hot list? - It's a to-do list, but, you know, with a with a cooler - cooler name.
- Call the dean back.
- Uh, after that.
- You know, I can - come back later.
- Well, you've got the entire United Nations in the ICU, and a cardiac patient being prepped for surgery.
Right wait, why is a cardiac surgery - on my hot list? - Because you fired - all the cardiac surgeons.
- Right, but I had all the new patients rerouted to University.
Not the ones from Rikers.
Maybe you shouldn't have fired the entire department.
They were all corrupt and lazy.
- See? - Except for Dr.
Reynolds.
How you know that? Just read his file.
Ow.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Doctor - Frome? - Please sign in and take a seat.
Dr.
Frome.
Young lady, it is way too early in my day - to call security, but I will.
- Dr.
Frome! Dr.
Frome! Dr.
Frome! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey! - Hey, it's okay! - Dr.
Frome! I got it.
Jemma, hi, hey.
I got this, thank you.
All right, come on, come with me.
Thank you.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
It's okay, whatever it is.
It happened again.
Floyd Reynolds? - Max Goodwin.
- Yeah, I remember you from an hour ago.
When you fired me.
Yale.
Fancy.
What secret society were you? Skull and Bones? - Scroll and Key? - The one that took a poor black kid.
Which one was that? School of medicine.
So, Floyd, why did you become - a cardiovascular surgeon? - You know, all due respect, I don't need a pat on the back on the way out.
That's good, because I don't intend to pat you on the back given the appalling history of patient care in your department.
If I were you and I had analyzed our performance - I would have done the same.
- Hmm.
By performance, do you mean the highest mortality and infection rates in New York City? 'Cause that's like the Beyoncé of performances if Beyoncé, you know, killed people.
Yeah, and don't forget our rampant culture of inflating billable hours.
Except you didn't.
I read your files.
You have the lowest billing rates in the department.
What's wrong? You don't like surgery? - I love surgery.
- Then why did you perform half as many procedures as your colleagues? Because my patients didn't need them.
Because there's other ways to help people than my cutting them open.
[MELLOW MUSIC.]
- That's a cute kid.
- [LAUGHS.]
That's my nephew.
I'm unfiring you.
To do what? To run the Cardiac Surgical Department.
There is no Cardiac Surgical Department.
Then build one.
A good one.
I mean, it's only people's heart's we're talking about.
You do know the whole system's rigged, don't you? I mean, they're not gonna let you come in here and just help people.
So let's help as many as we can before they figure us out.
You can't say no.
You already unpacked.
Jemma first came to me eight years ago after she was sexually abused by her foster father.
Just tell me how long before I can place her.
Two years after that, she came back after she was found chained to a radiator being fed like a dog.
- How long, Iggy? - This girl has been abused three times in the foster care system, and you want to put her right back in? What other options do we have? [KIDS CHATTERING.]
- I'm keeping her.
- What do you mean, "keeping her"? I mean I'm not discharging her.
I'm keeping her.
- Until when? - Until she's 18.
- [SCOFFS.]
But that's - Two years.
So you are committing a patient just to keep them out of foster care? [SIGHS.]
Yeah.
[FUNKY MUSIC.]
Doctor, um Goodwin, but call me Max.
I was just taking an interest.
Surely you don't have the time to take an interest - in every single case.
- Well, that's why I wear my running shoes.
I've been practicing here for 25 years, The key to survival is to have more than one speed.
I can go faster.
That's not what I meant.
Just keep me in the loop on this, will you? Hi.
[SIGHS.]
Good afternoon, Mr.
MartÃn.
I'm Dr.
Vijay Kapoor, your wife's neurologist.
- What happened to her? - Let me first find my glasses - so that I can read her chart.
- Eh Oh.
[LAUGHS.]
There they are.
Thank you.
Presented cyanotic and rigor mortis.
Administered Diazepam and Valium.
So, Mr.
MartÃn it appears Patricia's brain convinced her heart that she was dead, even though she was very much alive.
We are going to perform a few tests to find out why.
In the mean time, - you and I are going to talk.
- Talk? Talk about your life together, how you met, how you live.
What does that have to do with what happened to her? Everything.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[ANNOUNCEMENTS PLAYING OVER PA.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Get a resuscitation team.
- Give me a bio.
- Respiration shallow.
Okay, give me a CBC, BMP, chem 7, and a saline lock.
- Anybody know who this is? - I found a boarding pass in his pocket.
Stop.
Everyone back away from the patient.
Masks on, now.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER.]
[LINE TRILLING.]
- This is Max.
- We have a patient in the ED from Liberia presenting with all the signs of malaria, Lassa Fever, TB, or Ebola.
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
First thing we do is call the mayor's office and the CDC if we even suspect ebola virus.
Now, the patient is in an isolation chamber with negative pressure airflow.
That chamber is equipped with every available medicine should the patient need to self medicate.
- What about us? - Ebola isn't airborne, but if you develop symptoms you will join him.
Until then, you will help him.
Everyone interacting with the patient is required to wear personal protective equipment at all times.
No shortcuts, ever.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Good.
[DOOR HISSES.]
Once blood is drawn, the test results will come back in 24 to 48 hours.
Commencing a Code Green blood draw at 1:10 PM, New Amsterdam Hospital.
Your husband said you are taking Haloperidol.
For two years.
For depression.
And last year you were diagnosed with Parkinson's.
Does any of it explain - what is happening to me? - Not yet.
I'm going to run some more tests, - and hopefully - More tests? But she's in pain, and and she's not getting any better.
Mr.
MartÃn, I need some more information before I can make a diagnosis.
How can you not do something for her? Shh.
We are going to do something.
We are going to keep talking.
Where are my glasses? Okay, thank you.
[BOTH ARGUING IN RUSSIAN.]
[SPIRITED PERCUSSION MUSIC.]
Whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's the problem? - I demand doctor.
- He wants to be discharged.
Dr.
Chen needs him for observation.
Mister Ambassador, I'm Dr.
Goodwin.
I am the new medical director here, and I am officially discharging you.
[SIGHS.]
Thank you.
Before you go, can you just translate one thing for your security detail? [GRUNTS.]
What? Since you're being released early and against the wishes of your doctor, they should look for any signs of lethargy, brain damage, cardiac arrest, sudden loss of consciousness, and, of course, rectal bleeding.
Mister Ambassador? Maybe I stay.
[SPEAKING IN RUSSIAN.]
Can I have our menus back? [BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Claro.
Hey.
Welcome back.
I heard you got promoted.
Right after I got fired.
- Lord works in mysterious ways.
- Mm.
She does, doesn't she? A patient from Rikers was admitted with 17 lacs.
Ruptured spleen, aortic tear.
We got him stable in the ED, but the tear is all you.
You, uh, wanna grab a drink tomorrow? I can't.
You know when I say "grab a drink" - I don't actually - Yes, I do.
Okay.
Wait, you - you're not trying to - [GROANS.]
Look, Lauren - I think you're great.
- Oh, wow.
- You are trying to.
- Okay, I I guess I'd rather us just be friends again.
You know, colleagues.
But I thought we We did.
- And I thought you - I do.
[SCOFFS.]
So then why not see where this goes? [SIGHS.]
I wish I could, I really do, but I can't.
Because? Because Hey, I'm a big girl.
I can take it.
What? Because you're not black.
[GATE BUZZES.]
Gate! Hands.
Thank you.
Hands, hands.
Thank you.
Hands, hands Jemma.
You know pens and pencils aren't allowed outside - the classroom.
- The pen's attached - to my journal.
- Okay.
You'll have to give me the journal, then.
No.
You'll get it backin the morning.
- It's mine.
- Jemma, give me the journal.
Jemma, don't do this.
[ECHOING.]
Jemma - please - But it's mine! - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [SCREAMING.]
[ALL SHOUTING.]
[DARK MUSIC.]
Dr.
Frome told me that he gave you that journal when you were ten.
- It's mine.
- Hmm.
- Can I ask why you pushed - It's the only thing that's mine.
Jemma what do you want to happen? [SOMBER MUSIC.]
Jemma.
What do you want to happen? Nobody's ever asked me that before.
Do you want to stay here, Jemma? Do you want to stay at New Amsterdam? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Well, would you like me to get you placed in a new home by Social Services? Just decide for me.
I mean, you're gonna do it anyway.
That's that's not true.
That no.
Hey, Jemma.
Keep it.
Like, what's the point? [SLAMS BOOK.]
Return them to baseline and put them through the system.
That's my job.
Look if you can't help Jemma as a doctor then just help her as a human being.
Am I allowed to do that? You are now.
[UPBEAT MUSIC.]
Dr.
Goodwin? - How can I help? - Dr.
Kapoor's patient in 1208, you wanted to be kept in the loop? Yes, thank you.
How's she doing? I think Dr.
Kapoor is going to kill her.
Max.
This is Detective Rose from NYPD and Agent Bratton from the FBI.
The CDC alerted us to your patient with Ebola.
Uh, we're still waiting on the test results.
I'll be with you in five minutes.
The NSA just intercepted a video made by ISIS.
They claim they sent one of their followers from Liberia to New York City infected with the Ebola virus.
Your patient is now a terror suspect.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
A man came to my village.
What was his name? Ayaan Last name? I don't know.
He was showing off money he made in America from selling kufi hats and dashikis In Times Square.
He offered to give me clothes to sell and a plane ticket if I give him half of what I make.
And you believed him.
Yes He took me to doctor for traveler's vaccination.
Alain, where did Ayaan want you to go when you got to America? Youth hostel in Times Square.
Then why did you come here? This is the only hospital in America I heard of.
[PANEL BEEPS.]
- He's not a terrorist.
We'll gather the evidence.
If he was a terrorist, he would have gone to Times Square, where he could have infected the entire city, but he didn't.
He came here to get better.
He was clearly tricked into getting something injected into his bloodstream.
You see that, right? - Dr.
Goodwin - Just please promise me you will look into his story.
I'll look into it.
What does that even mean? "Because I'm not black.
" Patient is stable, in case you were wondering.
Oh, good.
So, are you gonna answer my question? [SIGHS.]
I'm 35 years old.
I want to get married, I wanna have kids, and I want them to be black.
[LAUGHS.]
You know you can't just - order that off a menu, right? - Well, yeah, but I also know I'm not gonna meet anyone - if you and I are - Getting our swirl on? [SIGHS.]
Look, I don't expect you to understand.
I'm sorry, okay? - I want to, I do.
- I have this plan for how I want my life to look, all right? I have for a long time, and that plan's - important to me.
- So what part of the plan was taking me back to your place and Whoa, whoa, hey.
Look, okay.
It wasn't, all right? But when I was with you I forgot I had a plan.
No, sorry.
I still don't understand.
Well, I guess that's the point, right? You can't.
You can't understand how confusing it was growing up watching every black athlete have a white girl on his arm.
Or how betrayed black women felt my mom, my sisters watching it happen time and again.
I get it.
You're just taking one for the team.
I love black women.
So do I.
But I don't see one asking you out for a drink.
[FUNKY PERCUSSION MUSIC.]
I asked you to keep me in the loop on 1208.
I needed to conduct thorough patient I'm taking the patient out of your service.
- Because? - Because you should have made a presumptive diagnosis.
Because you should have aggressively treated the Parkinson's.
Except she doesn't have Parkinson's.
PET scan.
Small black flecks over her heart.
Artifacts.
Look closer.
Two years ago, Patricia was misdiagnosed with depression.
She was prescribed Haloperidol, - which caused stiffness - Right.
As the result, she was misdiagnosed with Parkinson and prescribed Levodopa, which made it impossible for her to sleep.
So she was prescribed Hydroxyzine.
That toxic combination caused both cardiac arrest and rigidity.
But this whole time, her true symptom was her immune system fighting a tumor that nobody could see.
Small black flecks.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
- Malignant thymoma.
- Yeah.
If I continued treated her for Parkinson's, she would have another cardiac arrest and died.
By taking my time by slowing down I bought her another year.
Maybe two.
How can I help? When she wakes up, you can help me tell her she's going to die.
Well, move Sugarman to Wednesday and I'll do Hinkle via Skype from the hotel.
Just make sure I have his updated uh, Ron Ron, I said JFK.
Why are we back at New Amsterdam? [CARS HONKING.]
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
Hi.
Remember me? You told my driver to bring me back here? No, I told our driver to bring you back here because Ron works for New Amsterdam and so do you, remember? - If I miss my flight - You can keep your job.
Why do you care about me so much? Because you're a good doctor.
Because you bring in patients who would otherwise never go to a public hospital, which helps pay for the patients who can't go anywhere else.
- So it's about money.
- It's about care.
Which is why I can't figure out why'd you'd rather give lectures to semi-retired physicians than actually provide care to patients.
- I'll see you next week.
- Come back in 48 hours or don't come back at all.
Blanca? Hi.
- Dr.
Frome from New Amsterdam.
- Hi.
Thank you so much for meeting me.
I, um I brought you donuts.
I ate one already.
I'm sorry.
I actually ate two.
I don't know why I said one, that's [LAUGHS.]
I have to be at work soon, so I don't Yeah.
No, of course.
Uh, I just I wanted you to see this.
It's, uh it's a journal from the patient I was telling you about Jemma? Normally there'd be privacy issues but, uh, you know, this is the one thing that Jemma kept from foster home to foster home.
And, uh, one of those homes was actually your mother's.
Uh, C Camilla, right? That that was her name? Camilla? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Well, Camilla was the first foster parent to really make Jemma feel safe.
You know, safe to grow and safe to to be a kid, really.
And, uh, after Camilla died, Jemma wrote pages and pages about her in here.
You can you can read.
My mother and I were estranged when she died.
I didn't even know she took in foster kids.
- Oh.
- I was a tough kid to raise.
Stubborn, wild.
Left when I was 16.
You know, that sounds a lot like Jemma.
Tough, but she's got a big heart.
I can't be her foster parent if that's what this is about.
I I'm sorry.
[SIGHS.]
This was a long shot, I know that.
Thank you for meeting me.
I I really do appreciate it.
[MELLOW MUSIC.]
Can I just leave this with you? You don't have to get it back to me I'll come back and pick it up later but can I just leave it with you? - Why? - I think that you'll see that your mother gave Jemma all the love that she couldn't give to you.
That love didn't go to waste.
I don't understand I never had Parkinson's? And and the depression? Hormones from your tumor.
They triggered your immune system and set off a cascade of symptoms.
Patricia your mind is strong and resilient.
I'm sorry you were led to believe otherwise.
Mrs.
MartÃn you could stay here but in this case the treatment is worse than the disease.
[SNIFFLES.]
And with so little time maybe there's someplace else you'd rather be.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
No, we stay here.
We fight.
She get better.
No.
I want to go home.
[SOBS.]
To see my parents, my girls.
I haven't seen them in 11 years.
That's a wonderful idea.
We can't go home.
Home is Chiapas.
We crossed the border without papers.
We cross back - we will be arrested.
- I have to go home.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Mister Ambassador? - Yes.
- Can I ask a favor? Of course.
You need some Yankees tickets? I need you to repatriate two of your citizens.
[ALARM BEEPING.]

[COUGHING.]
[GASPING.]
- Helmet, now! - [COUGHING, GASPING.]
[ALARM WAILING.]
Forget it.
I'm going in.
Dr.
Bloom, wait.
Okay.
Bloom! Get out of there, now! It's too late! I'm already in! There's too much blood, I can't see anything.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
Heart rate is dropping.
He needs adrenaline.
I can't stop bagging.
Adrenaline first, oxygen after, okay? Go.
Okay, now push 10 ml's, open wide.
- But that's too much.
- Not for this kind of virus.
Max, it'll send his heart rate too high.
Push 10 hard and fast, right now.
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
Lauren I know what you're gonna say.
That was that was stupid.
I violated the protocol.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Lauren Your glove.
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
Doctor.
Sorry, I can't talk right now.
There's something wrong with the baby.
[WEEPING.]
Oh, my God.
- She's bleeding.
- I need a trans-abdominal ultrasound, mag sulfate 4 grams.
- BP 160 over 110.
- How we doing - with that second - Draw a chem 24 and coag panel.
Let's get the fetal monitor on.
- How can I help? - By getting out of the way.
- This is my wife.
- And she needs you.
- Oh, God.
- Off the o2.
[ALL CHATTERING.]
ALL: One, two, three.
- [GASPS.]
- Baby's in distress.
- No - You're okay, I'm right here.
- I'm with you.
- Push 4 mag sulfate.
- Max.
- No, no, just focus on me.
- I'm right here.
- [HEAVY BREATHING.]
Ultrasound's up.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
She's complete previa.
- What's that? - It means your placenta is obstructing your cervix.
There's nowhere for the baby to go.
Corticosteroids and a unit of O-negative, and type and cross.
- This is because of me.
- You did nothing wrong.
- It's my fault.
- Georgia, if we can't control the bleeding, we're going to need to do an emergency caesarean, understand? The baby is not ready.
She's not ready.
We're not gonna have a choice.
- Is she still bleeding? - Bleeding's slowed down.
I still want a transfusion, and someone tell me baby's heart rate? - I can't find it.
- What? I can't find the baby's heart beat.
Suzanne? - Come on.
- It's okay.
Suzanne Where are you? - [THRUMMING.]
- There you are, baby girl.
Oh, God.
- [INHALES SHAKILY.]
- [THRUMMING CONTINUES.]
[LAUGHING, SOBBING.]
[COLDPLAY'S "FIX YOU".]
Looking good.
- It's okay.
- [LAUGHS.]
Does baby have a name yet? Luna.

It was the Lassa virus, which is just as deadly except, as Dr.
Bloom can tell you, the Lassa virus can be treated with antiviral medication, which we gave you.
[ALL CLAPPING.]

No, no, I was just, um my sister was here in this room a long time ago and I was just, uh Introducing her to someone.
I, um I saw the Farmer's Market.
Oh, yeah? Did you buy anything? Couldn't.
They were sold out.
Made a few changes while you were gone.
I didn't think you were coming back.
Neither did I.
So much death here.
[MELLOW MUSIC.]
It got to you, didn't it? No, actually.
I became immune to it, which is even worse.
So why did you come back? Because of you.
People are excited, Max.
For the first time in a long time, they are excited to be doctors again.
I wanna be excited too.
But you need to slow down.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS.]
I get that a lot.
You have cancer.
Squamous cell carcinoma.
But you knew that, didn't you? How can I help?
