Hey, Dean.
How are you doing?

Had worse.

Hey, Maggie.

I just found
my old varsity jacket.

Of course, you always
wore it more than me.

- This is my husband, Ben.
- Hey.

I do seem to remember
you telling me

that you weren't gonna have
anything to do with him.

What is going on here?

You're dressed like
one of my engineers.

Believe it or not,
we're out of scrubs.

So this is all you're doing?

Just trying to help.

It's nice to have
a guardian angel.

You're here early.

Alarm mishap.

I'm gonna try
to grab some shut-eye

before my shift starts.

Got an empty bed?

Two's open.
I should warn you, though.

Drunk teenager vomited
all over that room last night.

- But it's been cleaned.
- Yeah.

Then I won't be surprised
by a pungent whiff.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Dr. Halstead, Maggie,

meet our newest member
of Emergency Medicine.

- Justin Lieu.
- Hello.

- Hello.
- Hi. A new attending.

Terrific. Welcome.

Actually, Dr. Lieu
is a first-year resident.

Ah, my mistake.

Listen, I'd like him
to join your service today.

- Sure.
- I'll let you get settled.

Thanks, Ms. Goodwin.

Wondering why I'm so late
to the party?

I know I've got some years
on the typical first-year.

I, uh... I spent a decade
doing search and rescue

before deciding on med school.

- Very cool.
- Hmm.

Is this guy bothering you?

- What are you doing here?
- Yo.

I just remembered
it was your first day,

and I was... you know,
I was in the neighborhood.

What's up, Gallo?

Clearly,
you two know each other.

We have ambo coming in.

Dr. Halstead,
you're going to five.

Mm, ready to get
your hands dirty?

- Yeah. Catch you later?
- Yeah, go.

Go on.
Be useful.

Courtney, going to five.
What do we got?

Lydia Shaw.
15-year-old female.

Disoriented and confused.

GCS 13, BP 90/56.

Sinus tach in the 110s.
A febrile.

Wait.
Where am I?

She woke up this morning,
she couldn't tell me her name,

what day of the week it was.

Nothing.

- Are you Lydia's mom?
- Yes.

Danielle.

On my count.
One, two, three.

She's been complaining
of exhaustion

and nausea for weeks.

Okay, we got her.

Lydia, you're at the hospital.

I'm gonna listen
to your lungs.

OK.

Lungs are clear bilaterally.

Danielle,
does Lydia have

any conditions
we should know about?

- Any medications she's on?
- None.

She's never even had the flu.

Dr. Halstead?

OK, pitting edema
to the lower extremities.

- What's that?
- Just means there's some swelling.

Stop it!

Why are you doing that?

I'm sorry, Lydia.
I'm just checking your eyes.

Almost done.

Sclera is jaundiced.

Dr. Lieu,
how does the liver feel?

Liver edge extends
past the costal margin.

I know.

All right.
All done.

Let's get a CBC,
CMP, coags,

LFT, chest X-ray,
ammonia level, UA,

and a right upper quadrant
ultrasound.

OK, we'll be back
the minute we have an update.

OK.

What are you thinking?

Hepatic encephalopathy.

What, didn't expect the intern
to know the answer?

I was second oldest
in my med school class.

It might have given me
a bit of a complex.

Yeah, well, I think
you're absolutely right.

All clinical signs point
to advanced liver disease

as the cause
of her altered mental state.

But what would cause

an otherwise healthy
15-year-old's liver to fail?

Grabbed this from your locker
for you.

You'll never guess
what's inside.

Tampering
with someone else's mail

is a federal offense, Doris.

Just open it, Maggie.

- No!
- Mm-hmm.

Is he there?

Are you serious?

I can't believe
April kept it from me.

Surprised?

Thrilled.
I'm so happy for you guys.

Thanks, Mags.

*CHICAGO MED*
Season 08 Episode 08

Episode Title: "Everyone's Fight a Battle
You Know Nothing About"

Aired on:
November 16, 2022.

Come in.

Uh-oh.

See, now why does
my mere presence

elicit that response
in your doctors?

Take a wild guess.

Have a seat, Dr. Marcel.

- You're not in any trouble.
- Oh, good.

Listen, I'm sure you know
the board wanted

to update the OR suites
this year with MRI machines.

Yeah, it'd be
a real gamechanger

to have high-resolution imaging
available during surgery.

Unfortunately,
the supply chain crisis

took precedence
over fund raising efforts.

And now we are fast approaching
the end of the fiscal year

and still woefully short
on funds.

- A big-ticket item, for sure.
- Yeah.

So we're hoping Jack Dayton

might consider
contributing the remainder.

- Roughly $10 million.
- OK.

We have invited him to dinner
at the hospital tonight,

and it'd be great if you
could join us, Dr. Marcel,

given your close
personal relationship

with the entrepreneur.

I don't know
if I'd call us close.

Not like I socialize
with the guy.

Yeah, but you'd be able
to explain to him

the benefits of the technology
from a surgical perspective.

We know it's last minute, but...

Asking Dayton
for $10 million

right after I helped
rescue him?

Kind of feels like
a quid pro quo.

Exactly.
He is indebted to you.

Well, that's not the way
I see it.

My patients
don't owe me anything.

Look, I think it's great
you're approaching Jack,

and I hope he goes for it.

I'm just...

I'm not comfortable
making the ask.

We understand, and this was
by no means mandatory.

OK.

But if you change your mind,

dinner's at 7:30
in the executive dining room.

All right.

What?

Hey, I need a second opinion

on a patient's
renal ultrasound.

And good morning to you.

Does this look like
renal artery stenosis to you?

Did you forget
I'm an obstetrician?

I don't normally look
at these kinds of scans.

Just tell me what you see.

OK. Velocities are higher
than they should be, I think.

And yeah, could be stenotic,
but it's hard to say,

seeing especially since,
as we established,

I'm not a nephrologist.

OK, thanks.

How bad would it be if I got
a candy bar for breakfast?

No worse
than the decaf frappe

with whipped cream
that I just downed.

Please, can I just speak
with a doctor?

Please, it won't take long.

I'm afraid
that's not how it works.

First fill out these forms.

And I'm gonna need your ID
and insurance card

- if you have it.
- Forget it.

Hey there.

Is there something
we can do for you?

How do you, um...

How do you know
if something happened to you?

Do you think something
might have happened to you?

Let's take a seat.
What's your name?

I don't want my name
recorded anywhere.

- Like, in your system.
- No, just between us.

- Gloria.
- Hi, Gloria.

I'm Nellie.
This is Hannah.

Just talk to us like
we're one of your girlfriends, OK?

Tell us what happened.

Last night,
I went to this party.

It was at a big warehouse
in Pilsen.

I was supposed
to meet my cousin there,

but I couldn't find her.

There were just so many people.

And then?

I don't remember.

I had a drink,
just one drink,

and that's...

That's the last thing
I remember.

When I woke up this morning,

I was still there,
at the warehouse,

in this room
I didn't recognize.

Was there anyone there
with you?

But my underwear was gone.

I don't know what happened.

We're gonna figure this out
together.

Come with us, OK?

So Lydia has
an autoimmune disease

called
primary biliary cholangitis.

The disease,
it destroys the bile ducts

and can lead to liver failure,

which unfortunately is what
we're seeing in Lydia's case.

She's 15!
She doesn't even drive yet!

It is rare to see PBC
in adolescents,

although there have
been reported cases

of pediatric onset.

If her liver is the problem,

why is her brain
being affected?

When the liver
isn't functioning

how it's supposed to,

it stops filtering toxins
from the bloodstream.

And then these toxins build up
and travel to the brain.

But the condition
is only temporary.

And with medication,
her cognitive function

will return to normal.

What about her liver?

Lydia is going to need
a liver transplant.

So how do we do that?

How do we find her a new liver?

We'll get Lydia evaluated

for the transplant list,
the national registry,

but her fastest bet
would be a living donor.

What's pretty cool about
the liver is it regenerates.

So you can give someone
a portion of your liver,

and it grows back
to its original size

after the transplant.

I would, um, give her mine
in a heartbeat,

but I'm a recovering alcoholic.

As long as you've been sober
for six months,

that's not
an exclusionary criterion, OK?

We will want to run some tests
to check your liver function.

Of course.
Whatever you need to do.

I would give anything
to help my daughter.

- Maggie.
- This better be good.

Showing up at my job
unannounced

is quite the overstep.

Didn't you get my text?

No, my phone's been
on the charger

all morning.
What is it?

I got to show you
something outside.

I can't, Grant.
I'm working.

Just five minutes.
That's all I'm asking.

I don't want to be a bother,
but you're the only person

who will understand.

Give me 20 minutes.
I'll take my lunch break early.

- Meet you out front.
- OK.

Congrats on your big news,
buddy. Mazel tov.

Thank you.
I'm pretty excited.

Could have given me
a little more time

to dust off the old tux,
though.

- Damn.
- Sorry about that.

You know, my dad's passing
crystallized a lot for me

about the man I want to be,
the life I want to have,

and an urgency
to get those changes now.

Makes sense.

It's probably why things
are so easy with April

this time around.

I guess I got closer to the guy
she was holding out for.

Nice.

Hey, I need some help.

I got a guy in trouble
a few blocks away.

Hey, I'm Dr. Choi.
What's going on?

There's this homeless guy,
Buddy.

He kind of lives
behind my apartment building.

Something's wrong with him.
I called 911.

But they said the ambulance is
gonna take, like, 20 minutes.

I don't know.
He doesn't look so good.

- Can you take us to him?
- Yeah, follow me.

Buddy!

Buddy.
Hey, Buddy.

He's breathing, right?

Respirations are shallow,

but yeah,
he's breathing.

How long
has he been here for?

Buddy's been a fixture
since I moved in,

so at least four years.

You notice any changes
in his behavior recently?

Buddy disappeared
for a couple nights,

maybe about a month ago.

I don't know where he went,
but when he came back,

he wasn't moving around
as well.

He just seemed more out of it
than usual.

My name won't be on the...

It won't be attached
to anything?

It can all
be processed anonymously.

And you won't release
any of my information

- to the police, right?
- Mm-mm.

Not without your permission.

Oh, I forgot to ask.
How much is it gonna cost?

I don't have insurance
or anything, so...

Nothing.

There's
no patient responsibility.

And we'll give you a voucher

for any additional
follow-up costs.

Would you like a Valium?

It can help calm your nerves.

No, no, no, I don't want
to black out again.

It's actually
just a mild sedative.

No!

Thanks, but no.

OK.

We're ready
to begin the exam.

OK, Gloria?

OK, so sit back a little,
put your feet in the stirrups.

And if at any point
you need me to stop,

if you need to take a break,
you just let me know, OK?

All right, I'm putting my hand
on the inside of your thigh.

Next, I'm gonna
take a quick look

at the outside area first.

Here.

Squeeze as hard as you need.

OK.

Now you're gonna feel
the tip of the speculum.

You're doing really great.

So what do you think?

I know her liver's
on the cusp, but...

I've got to disagree
with you there, Will.

It's not on the cusp.
Not even close.

Well, what do you mean?

Danielle's liver function
is solid.

Yeah, now,
but the damage is done.

- The liver's fibrotic.
- Mildly.

It won't tolerate
a partial resection.

Well, that's a prediction,
not a fact.

A good chance
it'll fail to regenerate.

And then Mom will need
a liver transplant.

Maybe that's a risk
Danielle's willing to take.

But if Danielle ended up
needing a new liver

after we allowed her to donate,

that's the kind of bad outcome

that could get
a transplant program shut down.

I'm sorry, man.

My, my, my.

My goodness.

- Is that...
- It is.

No!

What happened
to the peeling vinyl top

that used to flap in the wind?

Gone.
That and the cracked window.

Got the heating
and air fixed too.

Oh, my word.

You know,
I love this car.

It's the only reason
I gave you the time of day

in high school.

I've been restoring it
for years now.

You did all this yourself?

For the most part.

Just got the leather seats
reupholstered.

The finishing touch.

- Wow.
- What do you say?

A spin around the block,
for old time's sake?

Aw.

Come on.

A quick spin.

My break's over in 30.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Oh!

Do you happen
to know his full name?

Everyone
just calls him Buddy.

He's a friendly guy
but not all there.

How so?

Sometimes I'll see him
talking to no one,

and he repeats himself a lot.

It just seems like his, um,
processing is kind of delayed.

Hey, I'm really sorry,
but I'm super late for work.

Oh, look, we really
appreciate you hanging around

while we got him situated, OK?

Thank you very much.

So I found a partially healed
puncture site in his groin.

It looks like he developed
a postprocedural abscess.

I'm gonna drain it
and start antibiotics.

Wonder
what the procedure was for.

Or where it was done.

Hawley Community Hospital.

It's still
in pretty good shape,

so it must have been
a fairly recent visit.

Is there a name
on that bracelet?

William "Buddy" Foster.

Clip that off for me,
will you, Doris?

I'm gonna look up that hospital
and then give them a call.

Hawley?

I mean,
it kind of rings a bell,

but I'm pretty sure
it's outside of Chicago.

I wonder
how he ended up there.

Yeah.

Any other family members

that might be willing
to get evaluated?

See if they're a match
for Lydia?

No, she's, um...
She's an only child.

Her father also had problems
with alcohol.

Smashed his car into a tree two
years ago and died on impact.

We're so sorry.

With the transplant list,

how long do you think
Lydia will have to wait?

It is impossible to predict.

It can take just a few weeks,
or it can take months.

Years sometimes.

So, um, just prepare myself
for anything?

Yeah. We'll check on Lydia
in a bit, OK?

Man, that's rough.

Worst feeling in the world,
I imagine.

Doing search and rescue,
you meet these parents

who are just so desperate
to help.

It's heartbreaking
telling them they can't.

Yeah, only adds salt
that Danielle's past

is what's preventing her
from donating.

Talk about
a cruel twist, huh?

If it was any other organ.

I mean, her kidneys
are perfectly healthy.

Dr. Halstead?

Her kidneys are healthy.

I think you're on to something.

You're staring.

I'm sorry.

I just never thought
you'd be riding shotgun

in this car again.

Well...

It used to give me
such a rush back in the day,

looking over
and seeing you next to me.

Still does.

Grant.

No.

Grant!

You're talking about
a paired exchange, right?

It won't work.

Both the donors need
to have healthy livers.

Well, not exactly.

It's called
a trans-organ paired exchange.

Oh, yeah.

I heard it discussed
at a conference.

Pretty new concept, right?

Only a couple have
been performed in the U.S.

It's rare,
but this kind of swap

is allowed under the
National Organ Transplant Act.

- Uh-huh.
- Thank you.

So you're suggesting
that Danielle donate her kidney

to someone
on the transplant list...

Someone already
with a willing donor

who was ruled out
for a kidney-specific reason.

And then they would donate
their liver to Lydia?

Like a paired exchange,
except with different organs.

Well, it's not exactly
like for like.

A liver transplant exposes
the donor to greater risk.

But if we can identify

a potential
donor recipient match,

walk them through
the added risk factors...

And we have to loop in legal.

- The whole nine yards.
- Of course.

I'm not trying
to do anything below board.

OK, I think I have an idea
for a second donor.

Frank Sheraton.
Late 40s.

He's in good health, but due
to a mild reduction in GFR,

he couldn't donate his kidney
to his wife, Roberta.

She's been on the transplant
list for three years.

Before we get
anyone's hopes up,

let's make sure Frank's a match
for Lydia,

Danielle for Roberta.

I'll pull up their charts.

Dr. Lieu, you want
to give me a hand?

- Happy to.
- All right.

- We'll circle back in a bit.
- Great.

- Dr. Halstead, there you are.
- What's wrong?

Maggie and a friend
were in a car accident.

The ambulance is en route.

Maggie,
you should be on a gurney.

I'm fine.

That's what I said,
but she refused.

Going to Baghdad.
Matt, talk to me.

Grant Young.
44-year-old male.

High-speed motor vehicle crash.

GCS 15, BP 120/72.
Heart rate 110.

- Large laceration on the...
- To the left calf.

Active bleeding
for almost four minutes.

I initially tried
to control it with pressure.

Hey, Grant.
I'm Dr. Halstead.

A piece of shrapnel
or something from the door

sliced the leg.

Uh, it looks arterial.

Thank you, Maggie.
I got it from here.

Come on, Maggie.
Let me look you over.

Come.

Gloria.

Hey.

You want to have a seat?

That's OK.
I prefer to stand.

OK, sure.

So your labs came back positive
for GHB.

It's what's commonly known
as a date rape drug.

And while we can't make
any definitive conclusions

until your kit is tested,

there was evidence
that you sustained injuries

from a sexual assault.

What kind of evidence?

Bruising
in your genital area,

a possible fingerprint pattern.

What about STDs?

Your HIV, gonorrhea,
and chlamydia tests

all came back negative,

but you'll need to follow up

to do retesting
in two to three weeks.

Is it too early to know if...

If I'm pregnant?

Your pregnancy test
came back negative,

but you'll want to retest
in two weeks.

Is that it?
Is that everything?

Can I go home now?

Well, first we wanted
to talk with you

about some of the counseling

and mental health services
available.

All free of charge.

I really want to go home.

Forget it ever happened.

If you do change your mind,

all of the information and
the phone numbers are in here.

Both of ours included.

Thanks.

Gloria, you said initially

that you didn't want
to involve the police.

- I don't.
- OK.

You do understand, though,
that without a report,

they're not able
to open an investigation,

so they're not able to find
the person who did this to you.

It's not like
I'd press charges anyway.

I just...

I needed to know what happened
for myself.

That's it.

That's enough.

No one else can know.

Gloria, I understand,
right now,

this is very traumatizing...

OK, Gloria.

We hear you.

We'll get your discharge
paperwork started.

Hey.
That's it?

I feel like we should be having
a more substantial conversation

- with her about reporting.
- No.

Her unwillingness to show ID,

lack of insurance,
fear of the police.

I suspect that
Gloria might be undocumented.

Let's not push too hard, OK?

But I believe
there are legal protections

for undocumented immigrants

that report crimes
like sexual assault.

And while you may believe
in those protections, Hannah,

Gloria might not,
and we have to respect that.

Buddy, what we're trying
to figure out

is if you can remember going
to a hospital recently.

Yeah.

Yeah, I went
to the hospital before.

That's right.

And how'd you get there?

Real nice lady drove me.

She bought me dinner too.

Were you hurt?

No.
Don't think so.

- No.
- Huh.

I wonder why she...

She took you
to the hospital, then.

Guess I needed to go.

A real nice lady.

- She bought me dinner.
- OK.

Um, you know what?

We're gonna step out
for a second and be right back.

- Sure.
- Yeah, all right.

- Sit tight.
- Sure.

All right, so I got in touch
with Hawley Community Hospital.

It's about two hours north of
the city, in Wisconsin, right?

Buddy was there a month ago.

Two-night stay

for a left atrial
appendage occlusion procedure.

Aren't LA occlusions done

to prevent stroke
in patients with a-fib?

Buddy hasn't flipped into
a-fib once since he got here.

It's an elective procedure

on an unhoused patient
in a different state.

How'd they expect him
to get back

for his follow-up stuff?

Or keep
his surgical site clean?

It's no wonder he ended up
with an infection.

At best, I think we're
looking at extreme negligence.

I think it's worse.

Buddy mentioned a lady
picking him up

and driving him
to the hospital.

Ah, a recruiter.

Probably gets a kickback
for every patient she finds.

Oh, my gosh.

I think we're looking
at Medicaid fraud.

It's not
what it looks like, Sharon.

Who said
it looked like anything?

No one's judging you.

Hey, I just wanted
to let you know

I sent Grant to angio

to see if there's
any vessel damage to his leg.

Thanks for the update, Will.

Of course.

How's your patient,
Ms. Goodwin?

Stubborn
with a chance of just fine.

Maggie, you want me
to call Ben for you?

No, no, no.
That's OK.

Ben's away at a teacher's
conference in Florida.

I'll let him know
when he comes home on Friday.

Sure.

Hannah.

Hey, do you have a minute?

Yeah, of course.
What's up?

Her name is Chelsea.

She walked into the district
this morning

to report a possible rape.

A possible rape?

Blacked out at
a warehouse party last night.

She thinks someone
slipped something in her drink.

Was it in Pilsen?

Yeah.
How did you know that?

So I donate a lobe of
my liver to this young woman,

and the girl's mother
would give her kidney

- to Roberta?
- Exactly.

We've done the legwork,
and you're a compatible donor.

And the mother is a match
for you, Roberta.

Well then, yeah.
Absolutely. I'm in.

- How soon can they operate?
- Frank, hold on a second.

I think we have to ask
a few more questions.

We learned
all about kidney donation

when Frank was evaluated
to be a donor for me.

Donating the liver,
is this a similar undertaking?

Well,
to be completely honest,

it's a bigger undertaking.

It's an open surgery with
a large abdominal incision.

And because of the incision,

it is a harder recovery
than kidney donation.

Usually about twice as long.

Oh, then no.

- Babe.
- No.

We have to think
about the kids.

I am.

They need their mom.

We all need you.

Hey, remember,

I survived five skydives
and three bungee jumps.

You think I'm gonna let
a little surgery take me out?

Surgery is probably
the safest place for me.

And the fact that this is gonna
help someone else out too?

Even better.

Let me do this.

Is this a yes?

OK.

Great.

Great.

I understand that
the evidence from Gloria's exam

would strengthen any future
case against the assailant,

but I really don't think
revisiting the topic

is going to change her mind.

Well, I think we should try.

So you want her
to risk her future,

or her family's future, for
someone she doesn't even know?

No, I'm not saying that.

Because that's her dilemma,
Hannah.

And you can promise her
till you're blue in the face

that the system
will protect her

and fight for her rights
just like they fight for yours,

but I bet she's seen enough
evidence to the contrary

to know better.

I'm not suggesting
that Gloria do this

for someone else.

I'm thinking of Gloria
and how it's gonna feel

to carry this trauma
for the rest of her life.

My college roommate, Annie,
was raped at a frat party.

She didn't know who did it.
Didn't report it to anyone.

And she said exactly
what Gloria said.

She just wanted to forget
it ever happened.

And so,
she put all her energy

into pretending like
it didn't matter,

like holding someone
accountable didn't matter.

And somewhere along the way,
I think she began to believe

it didn't matter.

That she didn't matter.

And she carried that feeling
as long as she could

before taking her own life.

Oh, Hannah.

I'm so sorry.

So no, I'm not...

I'm not insensitive
to the enormity

of what we are potentially
asking Gloria to do.

It's just I have seen
the other side of it.

The consequence of sweeping
a trauma under the rug.

Dr. Martin Grainer,

the interventional cardiologist
who did Buddy's procedure.

I noticed that
he was moving around a lot,

so I started calling
some of these hospitals.

- Yeah?
- Lost privileges

- in pretty much every single one of them.
- I mean, how the hell is this guy still

practicing?

- You all right?
- Yeah.

I slept funny.
That's all.

They didn't feel like
they could prove

that he was fabricating
indications for procedures.

Hey.

That's the doctor
who treated Buddy.

Dr. Martin Grainer.

So Buddy's labs came back,

and his PSA was
through the roof.

Sent him for imaging,

and he has advanced stage
prostate cancer.

It's all over his body,
in his brain, his spine.

Nothing we could do for him
at this point.

So while this sorry excuse
for a doctor

is making up all
these bogus medical problems...

He could have been treating
him for something very real.

See that?

You have
a small pseudo-aneurysm

of the posterior tibial artery.

That sounds ominous.

It's not as scary
as it sounds.

It's a small
pressurized pool of blood

that can form
following injury

to the wall
of the blood vessel.

That will likely resolve
on its own

without any need
for surgical intervention.

We'll just want you back
next week for an ultrasound.

That's... a relief.

Definitely.

If you'll excuse me,
I have to check on another patient.

Thanks, Will.

Well, that's good news.

Yes, it is.

Look, I've just been lying here,
doing a lot of thinking,

and I crossed the line.

Plain and simple.

I'm really sorry, Maggie.

Riding around
in that old Monte Carlo,

I think we just both
forgot ourselves for a moment.

I guess I thought maybe
we could be friends, but...

There's just
too much history.

Yeah.

I know that now.

I do.

Gloria, you are so brave
to come here.

And if you need anything
at all,

you've got both of our numbers.

And I really hope you consider

attending one
of those support groups.

Yeah, I'll think about it.

Dr. Cuevas.

Nellie, I mean.

I was hoping I'd see you
before I left.

Before you go, Gloria,

I wanted to, uh,
share something with you.

It's not something
a lot of my colleagues know.

Um, something
Dr. Asher doesn't know.

I'm, um...

I'm undocumented.

My family immigrated
to the U.S.

before I could walk.

And as a DACA recipient,

I'm legally allowed
to work and live here,

but I still keep my immigration
status close to the vest.

But I'm telling you
because I trust you.

And I trust Dr. Asher.

So if you ever want
to report what happened,

now or at some point
in the future,

Dr. Asher and I know someone
who will have your back.

Someone you can trust.

Roberta, Frank, this is
Lydia and her mom, Danielle.

I don't know
how to thank you both enough.

I should be thanking you.

You don't even know me,
and you're giving me...

- Can I hug you?
- Yes.

We'll give you all some time
to get acquainted.

I hope trans-organ exchanges
become more commonplace.

It would increase

the number of potential donors
significantly.

Yeah,
and would allow donors

who were previously ruled out
to still help their loved ones.

Quid pro quo.

Yeah, and everybody wins.

Well, hey,
if you guys aren't above

grabbing a beer with an intern,
first round's on me.

Definitely
not above a free beer.

What do you say, Crockett?

I'm gonna have to join
you fellas another time.

Cheers.

Hey, Gloria.

This is Detective Upton.

You can call me Hailey.
We can talk here, if you want.

We can go outside for a walk,
get some air.

Up to you.

Here is fine.

OK.

We'll check back on you soon.

I just hope
they find who did this

before any other women
are harmed.

Gloria's statement,
the evidence from her exam.

They're gonna help CPD's
investigation tremendously.

Hannah,
like I said to Gloria,

I don't advertise my status.

It's your business,
nobody else's.

I won't tell anyone.

Thank you.

It is incredible,
what you've accomplished.

Going to med school,
becoming a doctor.

It hasn't been easy.

And with legal challenges
constantly on the horizon,

DACA's future and my future
always feels a bit precarious.

But surrounding myself
with good people really helps.

People I can trust.

Oh, Maggie.
Come on in.

I have to head to this dinner,
but I'm glad you stopped by.

OK.

So how are you feeling?

Uh, OK.

I've decided to, um,

not tell Ben
about the accident.

For the time being, or...

Ever.

Are you sure
that's what you want to do?

There's just no benefit
to him knowing.

Well, I think
Ben might beg to differ.

Grant has just caused so
many problems in my marriage.

I just... I don't want
to make it any worse.

Well, I get it,
but I'm just...

I'm just wondering
how you'd feel

if the roles were reversed

and Ben didn't tell you
that he was in a car accident.

Sharon, it's just that, uh...

I can't.

- I can't.
- Look.

Look, give it a little time.

You had a terrible scare today,
Maggie.

You don't have to decide
this minute.

Look, I have to go, but
you stay as long as you need.

All right.

Hello, everyone.

Jack, great to see you again.

- Glad you could join us.
- Yeah.

Kathleen, Dennis.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So what changed your mind?

Well, I, uh...

I might have been
a little overly concerned

with the optics.

This money could benefit
a lot of people.

Good to see you guys.
How are you?

Thank you.

Well, why don't you
make your ask now?

I just think we can get the
business talk out of the way

so we can enjoy our dinner,

which looks delicious,
by the way.

So what's the ask?

Well, our surgical center

is ranked among the top ten
in the U.S.

Thank you.
We want it in the top five.

We have the best surgeons
in the country,

Dr. Marcel among them,

and what they've been
telling us they need

is updated technology,

starting with
intraoperative MRI machines.

Being able to take imaging
in the middle of a surgery

would allow us to constantly
recalibrate our approach.

It'd be the difference

between being able
to resect 50% of a tumor

and being able
to resect the whole thing.

How much capital
are you looking for?

$10 million.

But of course, we would welcome
a donation of any amount.

No, I think you're
setting your sights too low.

I'm gonna do something
even better for Chicago Med.

Please.

What's all that?

- Buddy's belongings.
- Ah.

The guy he came in with
dropped off a bag.

Stuff he gathered from the spot
where Buddy camped out.

Huh.

Was this him when he was a kid?

- It looks like him, right?
- Yeah.

And that apartment building
in the photo,

that's where we found Buddy
this morning.

He was camping out
in the alley behind it.

I'll be damned.

Figure it's where he grew up?

Yeah.

Maybe I shouldn't have
unpacked everything.

He's only here
to make a move into hospice.

Were you able
to track down any family?

No.

You know, I'd love
to put the blame solely on Dr. Grainer,

but more than one bad actor
failed Buddy.

What do you mean?

He's gonna die from one
of the most survivable cancers.

With early intervention,
this was treatable.

It shouldn't be killing him.

Our system failed Buddy,

and it fails
people just like him every day,

because the people
who need us the most

never even make it
through our doors.

Until it's too late.

When did we decide that's OK?

That that's just the way it is?

It can't be.

I'm not gonna let it.
