Hey, tiger, how you doing? Would you like to sit down? No, l should stay.
When she wakes up she'll wanna see her baby.
We can't reach her therapist.
What else could she have taken? l should call her boyfriend, Carl, he should be here.
Was she taking any other prescriptions? How could she do this? She was happy.

Ted, please don't swear.
Because of it we found out about Zack's condition sooner.
Wait a minute.
What condition? We won't know till we get a biopsy.
A biopsy? What is this, cancer? lt would explain why his leg broke so easily.
My husband died of liver cancer.
ls Zack gonna die? We really don't know.
lt's too early to worry about that.
Would you like me to talk to Zack? No.
We'll tell him.

Your gynecologist is an herbalist? No, no.
The new year is coming.
lt's the Year of the Pig.
And right now it's the Year of the Dog.
l can't believe l'm saying this.
People think sometimes that babies born in the Year of the Pig will be lazy.
We don't believe that.
l mean, we sort of believe it.
l mean, my mother believes it and her mother believes it.
So you used herbs to induce.
You wanted your baby to be born in the Year of the Dog instead of the Pig.
lt sounds crazy.
But yes, we want-- Mr.

We don't do procedures just because you want them.

We better find Dr.
Benton.

Lewis about every symptom.

Lewis? l don't think so.
No.
Dr.
Kayson was in a hurry.
Dr.
Kayson, the patient, Mr.
Venerbeck, died under our care.
You say you asked about every symptom, including back pain? She should have mentioned it.
You didn't tell him about the back pain, Dr.
Lewis? lt was on the chart.
-You should have showed me.
-Let's try to stay civil.
Are you sure you gave her your full attention? That's not the problem here.
But you did sign the chart.
l didn't have all the relevant information.
Aren't you supposed to obtain it? We know what this is about.
We all depend on the residents to do their job.
Attendings are here to help residents do their job.
Dr.
Lewis the back pain was ascribed to a previous injury.
How would you assess that information now? l think l'd consider it more carefully.
A possible sign of unstable angina.
We all make those judgments.
And we learn from them.
Ladies, gentlemen Dr.
Lewis, Dr.
Kayson.
How you doing, buddy? They gonna fix my leg now? We gotta do a couple of things first.
Can l talk to you quickly, please? You haven't told him.
We were gonna, but-- We discussed it and we think he's just too young to hear it.
We have to do a biopsy now.
Do you understand? He doesn't need to know.
So just do it, okay? Mrs.
Meeker, we won't go through with this unless he knows.
l won't do that to him.
Sweetie, Zack.
Sweetie, l've got to tell you something.
l'm gonna let the doctor tell you.
Zack, you may have a form of cancer.
You know what cancer is? Yeah, my dad had cancer and he died.
Am l gonna die too? We don't think so, but you're gonna have to go through some tests and that'll hurt a little.
Then you'll have to take some medication which will make you feel really sick.
Am l always going to be sick? No, l think when it's all over you're gonna be okay.
What kind of tests? We're gonna put a needle in your leg today, a little one.

Well, the next time Deb has an idea, let her present it.
How did you come up with that? l have a photographic memory.
lt's embarrassing but l saw a page of the pocket manual in my head.
Stomach pains, plus seeds or nuts, could be diverticulitis.
That's right.
You could have inflammation in the colon.
lf it doesn't improve in a few hours, we'll operate.
Dr.

You okay? Needle gun.
This thing l told you about, the gun.
Dr.
Taglieri will take a piece of the tumor out of your leg.
You'll feel it when it goes in.
Okay? -Ready? -l'm ready.
That's all she wrote.
Wasn't so bad, was it? Never got shot before.
You're gonna do okay.
-This woman does this for a living.
-l've been looking at nursing homes.
She's my mother too.
Don't make these decisions without me.
Why do you keep fighting this? -lt's the solution we're looking for.
-You're looking for.
l know the solution.
She goes to a nursing home and you get our house, right? Don't give me that sentimental crap.
You wouldn't care if it burned.
Don't answer that.
l came all the way across town to see you.
Jackie l don't want to see Ma in some warehouse for old folks.
Look, Jackie, this woman will come three times a week.
-l'll look after her two times a week.
-No, you won't.
You never have before.
And how do you plan on paying this physical therapist person? -lf it's three days, l can swing it.
-Three days! God, Peter, when are you gonna accept that Mommy needs full-time care? How are you gonna pay for a nursing home? -Her savings.
-That's perfect.
You get the house, you get to spend every penny she ever saved.
Except what she gave you for med school.
Don't even go there.
l'm up to my ass in debt.
And in a few years you'll make more money than Walt and l will ever see.
l'll tell you what, Peter.
Take the damn house.
Take it.
You can even have your room back.
We'll clear out of there tomorrow.
You bathe her, feed her, keep her from undressing in front of the neighbors.
Look, Jackie, we'll work it out.

Yeah, this is Benton.
He did what? Tell him l'm sorry and l'm on my way.
l'll be right there, okay? l'm leaving right now.
Look, Jackie, we can-- l couldn't move the meeting.
You're kidding.
But it'll be short.
-We can still get out of here by eight.
-l hope so, or l'll feel very unromantic.
lf l'm not here, just page me.
lf you're not here, l'll come up to that meeting stark naked and drag you out.
l'll see you at 8, okay? How was the review? Fine, thank you.
l see you two are still having a love-fest.
Doug? Kid's been beaten up.
They just kept hitting him and the cops wouldn't even come, you know? Hey, buddy you're pretty banged up.
What's your name? Terry.
All right, Terry.
This hurt? l don't know why the cops wouldn't come.

So are you giving Mark a break now? Does he deserve one? -Can you help me? -Just see the nurse back there.
You guys are friends.
-l've been waiting forty minutes.
-Yeah, l know.
We're very busy.

How did you get here? l took the bus.
You wanna just-- l'll get it.
Doctors said he had five or six years left.
He's not gonna make it, is he? His lungs are filling with fluid.

Yeah, right.
You know, pediatrics, you guys got it made.
You all go into private practice.
But surgeons, we all wanna be chief.
One more day like this, l don't have a prayer.
There are more important things than being chief.

Full respiratory down.
Open up the lV.
Bolus one milligram atropine lV.

Start a dopamine drip.
Tube's in.
Bag him.
All right, he may need a pacemaker.
-Carotid's okay.
-Let's get him upstairs.
Now! Haleh, call Cardiology.
Tell them he's stable, he needs angioplasty.
See if anyone's gotten ahold of his wife.
Coming through! What is this, a convention? -ls that a joke? -No.
-Hey, Terry, how you feeling? -Better.
l want to talk to you about your condition.
You heard of PCP, pneumocystis pneumonia? AlDS, huh? We need to confirm the diagnosis, but if it's PCP, then yes, you may have AlDS.
Angie, don't cry, don't cry, please.
Come on.
Would you get my coat and stuff, please? Go on, get my coat.
You still working the street, Terry? You playing safe? They don't want you using rubbers.
lt's not what they pay for.
We'll check you in, do an HlV test and treat your pneumonia.
Thanks anyway, but no thanks.
l just want to get out of here.
lf you have sex with people you'll infect them.
l gotta feed myself, right? And some of my friends too.
You're sick and you'll get sicker.
We can stop the pneumonia and put you on a program for AZT.
Hey, man, l'm okay.
Listen to me.
You are not gonna get healthier on the street.
Can you go home? ls there anyone to take you in? They threw me out.
They won't be taking me back now.
Use these condoms.
l'll get you a medicine called Bactrim.
Take it every day.
The only time l took medicine every day was in jail.
Please try.
And use the condoms, Terry.
Use the condoms.
Here's some numbers for a shelter and an AlDS treatment center.
Keep this.
You'll need it, okay? All right.
Thanks.
Your wife's on the way.
Steinman will take you to the cath lab.
Nod if that's what you want.
Do you want TPA? Jack, you look great.
We'll blow your arteries out.
Dr.
Steinman, he wants TPA.
l looked at your echo.
You need angioplasty.
You're scared.
We did hundreds of these last year.
When this is over, stop smoking and start jogging.
-Let's move him.
-You can't do that.
He's my patient.
He doesn't want angioplasty, he wants TPA.
Dr.
Lewis? This man's under sedation, he's in no condition to make a decision.
Stop this adolescent behavior and get out of my way.
lf you take him l'll see you at a review committee.
They will fry your ass so fast you'll be lucky to keep your license.
Please order the TPA.
Get it in here right now.
That was really dull.
l guess l'll have to try it again.
Maybe we should use that stuff you got in New Orleans last year.
Really? You still have some of that edible massage oil? lt gave you a rash.
We could try a different flavor.
Where's my bag? You know, that little Gladstone bag? What? You had it.
You're joking.
No, l'm not.
Where is it? l brought the bags downstairs, l stopped to get you.
l'll never be able to go to work again.
Where did you leave it? Admissions.
Under the desk.
Doug, you sleeping? l wish.
How many kids am l gonna see this year? Based on last year 3000, give or take.
l feel like l saw them all today.
Baby with croup.
God love the croup.
At least it's something l can fix.
You okay? Yeah.
l'm coming.
