Yes, he's been diagnosed with PANDAS.

PANDAS?

Kevin started getting tics and OCD

Okay, we'll be sure to give him a call.

Yes, he did.

Either way, right now,

that child is in real pain with a real fever.

Right, because he's been on three different antibiotics

for over 12 months,

which we both know has wiped out

all the healthy flora in his gut,

causing a massive superinfection.

I mean, all because his parents shopped around for a doctor

willing to blame Kevin's neurologic tics on strep,

Hi. [CLEARS THROAT]

So, Kevin's scans indicate toxic megacolon.

It's a dangerous intestinal infection

caused by an overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria.

Which is most likely due to his long-term antibiotic use.

So the new medicine you're giving him should fix it?

It's not that simple.

Kevin's bowel is so inflamed,

it's become dangerously dilated.

And if it perforates, it's a life threatening situation,

which is why we need to release the pressure from his colon

to try and prevent that.

We appreciate your help,

but we've spoken with Dr. Kravitz,

and he wants Kevin transferred over there.

Dr. Kravitz says if we treat him incorrectly,

it's only going to make Kevin's neurologic symptoms worse.

He wants to give him an infusion of IVlg

to prevent that.

Kevin's tics are the least of his problems right now.

We need to focus on treating his infection.

We want that too,

but Kevin's tics are a big problem.

Why are you being so negative?

to seek out an actual effective therapy

for what is most likely a genetic neurologic condition.

So what do you want me to do, Will?

What do you think you're doing?

He wanted to come back to Athena,

- so I called us an Uber. - Emma, I get it.

He needs his dog, and I don't wanna take that for him,

but right now, he needs our help even more.

- This isn't a game. - Like I don't know that?

But you don't understand him. I do.

I've been there.

What do you mean? You've been homeless?

Yeah.

But that's not important.

What matters is that this dog

is the only thing in the world Josh can relate to.

I think he needs her so much

that if he had to go on without her,

he'd rather die.

All right.

Tell Josh to pack his clothes, and we'll take the dog with us.

His lungs are full of fluid. He must've been coming to

Sats down to 83.

He lost his IV.

Uh, do something! Save him!

Just so you understand, with the lack of oxygen,

there's no guarantee that he won't have

new physical or neurological deficits.

Just save him, please.

Do you understand what Dr. Sexton is saying?

He's my father. Please, don't let him die.

Okay, give 20 of Lasix, 20 of etomidate, 50 of sux.

Open an intubation kit and a central line kit, now.

- Can you intubate? - Yeah.

His abdomen's more distended,

and his pain is getting worse.

Like I was saying, we need to take him up to surgery.

Dale, maybe we should let them.

Are you sure that that's necessary?

Did you even talk to Dr. Kravitz?

He says that general anesthesia will exacerbate Kevin's PANDAS.

You're not hearing me.

At the moment, that is not our biggest concern.

- But Dr. Kravitz says... - Forget about Dr. Kravitz.

Kevin doesn't have PANDAS.

His tics are from me.

What are you talking about?

He has OCD.

It's not from step; it's genetic.

He inherited it from me.

It's a far more likely explanation.

So the antibiotics, the... all of it...

He never needed them.

It's... it's my fault.

All my fault.

Why didn't you tell me you had OCD?

I thought if you knew something was wrong with me,

you wouldn't love me.
