Next time, maybe inform
the department chair

before the shit hits the fan.

I was on my way to tell you.

Make sure you get
everything you need.

OK, let's do this.

IT called me up because

I've trained in cyberattack
prevention and response.

Then you can tell everybody
what to do.

No, thank you.

Best if it comes
from the department chair.

Oh, you think?

All right, everybody,
circle up.

What the fuck?

We may have had
a cyberattack.

No, we shut down
to prevent a cyberattack.

OK, everybody, settle down.
Listen up.

As you can see,
we're doing a little

redecorating
in the central work area.

Our hospital computers are
at risk for a cyberattack,

so we are going old school, analog.

- For how long?
- Great question.

Our IT department
has shut everything down

to give them time to bolster
our cyber defenses.

I believe the question was,
for how long?

Uh, hard to say.

Could be up to 24 hours.

Jesus Christ.

So first order of business,

we need to replicate
the electronic patient boards

on these dry-erase boards.

So please, somebody tell me

they got a photo of the boards.

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right here. OK.

Oh, uh...

It's a little blurry.

No, more than
a little blurry.

- Sorry.
- Oh, my God.

- I remember.
- Great.

If everybody else can remember
their patient names

and their room numbers,
that would be awesome.

No, I mean
I can remember all of it.

All of what?

Names, doctors, room numbers.

I kind of have
a photographic memory.

Seriously? The whole board?

Central 12,
Harlow Graham, headache,

- abdominal pain, ASL only.
- Oh, shit.

I have an interpreter
waiting for me.

- Go.
- OK, for patient privacy,

all chief complaints
will be abbreviated.

So HA for headache,

AP for abdominal pain,
and so forth.

Central 10, Jackson Davis,
new-onset psychosis.

Javadi, psych admission.

Greek letter psi for psych.

Pedes is Baby Jane Doe,
fever, Dr. Mohan,

awaiting admission orders.

Nurses need to convert
to a zone defense--

north, central, south, trauma.

Where's Dana?

In with
a sexual assault case.

She can't leave
until the exam is finished.

Yeah, it could be a while.

Princess has
charge nurse experience.

- Not really.
- That's a great idea.

Princess it is.

You can make
the nursing assignments.

- Next.
- Central 9,

Roxie Hamler,
end-stage lung cancer.

Sorry, do we have
to stand here while

- she recites the whole board?
- No.

In fact, go check
on your patients

and then please come back here.

Thank you.

How many hours a day
are you on your laptop?

At least eight hours.

I work from home.

And are you at a desk
all day?

No, no.

I will either sit on the sofa,

or sometimes I'll be in bed,

kind of sitting up
with the computer on my lap,

that kind of thing.

So you're always looking down
at the screen?

- Yeah.
- OK.

I'm going to check
the muscles in your neck.

- Ooh!
- Ooh!

Ow, that hurts.

All right.
Well, I think we can help.

Come on over.

OK, gather up.

Listen up, everybody.
This is our chart rack.

So as you can see,
each slot and clipboard

has a room number on it.

When you pick up a new patient,

you grab a fresh chart
from the T-system.

Pick your chart
by chief complaint.

Use the cartoon to find it.

Why are there two bodies?

Trauma on the left,
medical on the right.

So head injury, you go left.

Headache, go right.

Are those fish
swimming in seaweed?

No.

That is bees and grass.

That's the section
for insect bites,

skin rash, allergies.

OK, let's say, for example,

Dr. Al-Hashimi has
a new patient with belly pain.

For the history,
circle the positives,

like vomiting and diarrhea.

Backslash the negative,
such as recent travel,

sick contacts, fever.

For physical exam,
checkmark normals on the left,

and circle any
abnormal findings on the right.

Questions?

Is your generative AI program

still gonna be working?

Not for a while.

And ditch
your SpectraLink phones.

Those are voice over internet.

PTMC Emergency.

Go ahead, Medic Command.

That is how we will hear
about incoming runs.

Thanks.

Two minutes out with
abdominal pain and fever.

OK, has everybody
got that so far?

How do we write orders?

Physician order form
in triplicate.

Labs, X-rays, IV fluid, medication.

Will the labs still be able
to run blood tests?

Yes.

Are the CT scanners
still working?

Yes, but the results
will come back

on paper from the radiologist.

This is the dark ages.

So if you have orders
with labs or X-rays,

they go into
the clerk file here.

They will sign them off.

They will add
a downtime slip on them,

make sure they go
to the correct department.

I'm sorry,
who are the clerks?

- You're looking at them.
- At your service.

Larry and Antoine are
filling in

- until more help arrives.
- We got this.

After the clerk orders,
chart gets moved

to the nursing order rack
here for IVs,

medications, procedures.

Medications are locked up
in the PDS.

The PDS is getting unlocked
by a clinical pharmacist,

- Dr. Megan Nordt.
- We've got your back.

This is a lot.

Any questions? Yes.

Uh, no.

What's up
with the third rack?

When your patient is
ready to be discharged,

chart goes here.

This lets everybody know

we're about to have
an open bed.

Or that your tuna melt is up.

Jesse?

- What is that?
- What is that?

That is a fax machine.

They still make those?

This is our lifeline
to labs and X-rays.

When the results come back,
they will fax to us,

and the clerks will
put them on the charts.

- Yes?
- If you say so.

Incoming.

OK, Dr. McKay, Dr. Whitaker,
Ogilvie, you're with me.

The rest of you,
build your clipboards.

Howard Knox, 52,
abdominal pain and fever.

152 over 90, tachy at 120.

- Couldn't get an IV.
- I wonder why.

Hello, sir.
My name is Dr. Robby.

- Howard.
- This is a teaching hospital.

I'll be supervising
Doctors McKay and Dr. Whitaker

- and student Dr. Ogilvie.
- Hey.

- Hello.
- How are you feeling?

- Not so great.
- OK.

- Princess, what's free?
- Trauma 1.

Perlah?

All right, orders for Mylanta
and bupivacaine, Central 12.

Wrong spot, Dr. Santos.

And you need a sticker.

Put it
in the nursing orders rack.

And meet me over at PDS.

How much does this suck?

I didn't think
today could get any worse.

This is how we rolled
when I was a resident.

Was that in the 1900s?

Yeah, when charts were
written by candlelight.

Hey, today will be
an adventure.

Think of it like
"Back to the Future."

Or possibly "Titanic."

Here is your antacid.

Cheers.

And I marked the trigger point

that is bringing out
your headache,

and a shot of local anesthetic
in that area

could really help.

Yeah, let's do it.

All right.

You are going to feel
a little pinprick

and some burning.

OK.

Oh, ow, ow,
that really hurts.

Temp 101.4, tachy at 128,
pulse ox 92 on 2 liters.

When did the pain start?

It's been on and off
for about a week.

- And where do you feel it?
- All over.

It started on the left, and now
there's some on the right.

How about that fever?

Since last night.

I was burning up.

Then I had chills pretty bad.

I can't find a vein here.

We'll try for a midline.

Let us know if this hurts.

- Ah, ah.
- Sorry.

- And on this side?
- Yeah, yeah!

Sorry, sir.

Guarding with no rigidity.

For pain, 100 of fent IM?

Plan, Dr. Whitaker?

Blood cultures,
lactate, Zosyn.

We're gonna need a CT
to figure out what's going on.

Ah-ah.

- Yeah, it's not gonna work.
- Yep.

Write neatly.
Penmanship counts.

Howard, for the scan,
we're gonna have

to lay you flat on your back.

Can you do that?

I could ten years ago,

but now
it's too hard to breathe.

If we can't lay you flat,

then we're gonna have to put
a tube in your windpipe

to help you breathe--
are you OK with that?

Intubation with rapid
sequence induction?

No, we can't lay him down.

The tube will go in your nose

while you're awake, sir.

- Well...
- Right.

Does it hurt?

You'll be numbed up
completely.

You won't feel any discomfort.

Do you happen
to know your weight?

A little over 400.

When was the last time
you checked?

It's been a while.

Is it possible
that you might be over 450?

Possibly.

Perlah,
let's call for the Hoyer.

So we're gonna place the tube
and get you ready for the scan.

Is this something serious?

Well, it's hard to tell
without a CT.

You could just need
antibiotics,

or you could require
an operation.

If surgery is necessary,

then your weight could
make things

- a little bit more complicated.
- I know.

- I'm sorry.
- Not to worry.

We're gonna take
very good care of you.

Team.

OK.

Pain medication for you, OK?

Let's try for a midline,

basilic vein
with ultrasound guidance.

Can ultrasound check
for an appy?

He's a little too large
for an ultrasound.

Plus, our CT can only handle
450 pounds.

And so if he's over that,
we send him to the zoo?

He's right there.

I--I heard that there's
a large animal CT at the zoo.

Presby's CT can handle 650.

Yeah, if Presby's still
up and running.

Wh...

That--that's not a jinx.
It's--

Have any of you ever done
an awake naso-tracheal?

OK.

Perlah, can you also ask

Dr. Al-Hashimi to come in?

I'm gonna need an assist.

Yep. You got it.

Ah, sorry. Signed.

Hall bed F, George Francis,
shortness of breath,

Dr. Mohan, awaiting D-dimer.

Wow. She's still going?

Yeah. Remarkable, really.

Dr. Al,
Robby's asking for you.

Uh, OK.

In Trauma if you need me,
Princess.

Got it.

Who's supposed to run
the downtime slips

to X-ray and lab?

Uh, the charge nurse?

Don't look at me.

My plate's full!

Uh, parents of Roxie Hamler?

Central 9.

Oh, I got it, Donnie.

Hi, I'm Victoria Javadi,

one of the student
doctors here.

I've been assisting
with Roxie's care.

Oh, thank you so much.

- I'm Lloyd.
- Cora.

It's nice to meet you.

She broke her leg?

Um, yeah.

There's a fracture
down by the ankle.

She's in a boot now, so there's
not quite so much pain.

But I'll take you.
She's just in 9.

The hospital Wi-Fi
isn't working.

Oh, it'll be down
for a while.

Sorry.

Mom broke her leg, Grandpa.

We heard.

How are you, honey?

You've got this, kiddo.

Yeah.

How long will she stay
in the ER?

Oh, until a bed
opens up upstairs.

Could be a while.

You know, it's getting
pretty crowded in here.

Maybe we should take Tucker
and Shane out for ice cream.

- Yes, please.
- No, no. I'm OK.

Maybe your mom would like
some time to rest.

Yeah. Go.

Can she have ice cream?

She can have
anything she wants.

Come on, let's go.

Bye, Mom.

Ice cream, ice cream.

Yep.

Listen up.

This is Oxymetazoline.

This will open up the passage.

What medication do you take?

Uh, Lisinopril and Metformin.

Ozempic? Wegovy?

No. Kind of expensive.

I'm going to squirt
some numbing gel in your nose.

If it drips back
in your throat, that's OK.

Here, in case you need it.

Do you smoke?

Alcohol?

- Never.
- Do you exercise?

Moving from the bedroom
to the kitchen.

No, I'd walk more,

but I need a bench
to rest on every block.

What about water aerobics?

Let's focus
on helping Mr. Knox.

Agreed.

It took me 25 years
to get this way.

Car crash, burn unit,

four leg surgeries
over ten years.

Laid me up so much,
I lost my job.

I need to numb
the back of your tongue.

This is gonna taste pretty bad.

Is there anyone
you'd like us to call?

No.

Any family?

Mm. My parents passed.

I'm single.

Go figure.

Siblings?

Sister in Arizona.

We don't talk much.

Now that we've numbed up
the back of your tongue,

we can anesthetize
a bit deeper.

Um, sorry to interrupt.

I have a middle-aged woman

with sudden onset blindness.

- I can go.
- OK.

Will you see if Abbot's
still around?

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

What's your sister's name?

Lauren Milford.

Where in Arizona?

Flagstaff, I think.

Just gonna go
over your tongue

and numb your vocal cords.

Ah...

How many fingers?

I don't see any fingers.

And now?

I can see a little bit
of light.

Um, Brooke,
you've met Dr. King.

This is Dr. Al-Hashimi.

- Nice to meet you.
- And her wife, Wendy.

- Hello.
- Hello.

OK if we discuss
your symptoms?

As long as I can correct you
if you get anything wrong.

Trust me, she will.

One hour of sudden, painless
vision loss in the left eye.

No history
of hypercoagulable state

or vascular disease.

Could you look straight ahead, please?

Could be a central
retinal artery occlusion.

In English, please?

A little blood clot
can block the artery

at the back of the eye
and decrease your vision.

Sometimes it's called
an eye stroke.

Stroke?

Like she could be paralyzed?

No, this would be
limited to the eye.

Is it permanent?

First, we have
to make the diagnosis.

Retinal exam?

Hard to get a good look.

We need the FOP.

The what?

Oh, Princess.

We need patient stickers
on each of these order sheets,

or the pharmacy won't know
who to give meds to.

We're on it.

Princess,
smartphone fundoscope?

Equipment corridor, eye cart.

- Thanks.
- You seem a little confused.

How do I figure out
which new patient to pick up?

Top of the board.

They're listed
in the order they arrive.

You erase the first one,
then put

your initials in the MD box.

OK. Thanks.

- Caleb.
- Michael.

Are you managing this chaos OK?

Well, it's all pretty easy
when you're a short-timer.

Any more comatose patients
for me to have a chat with?

I'm kidding.

OK.

Victoria,
this is Nicole Steadman.

I run
the parent support group

for the psychiatric service.

Yeah.
Nicole's daughter was diagnosed

sophomore year in college.

You think Jackson's parents
might have a chat with her?

We can certainly ask.

Now we can see
the whole retina

without dilating the pupil.

You're looking
in the wrong eye.

Oh, we start with
the good eye for comparison.

Oh.

Retina looks great.

Now for the bad eye?

Eyes wide open.

How's it look?

Extremely pale,
no blood flow.

Digital massage,
10 seconds on, 5 seconds off.

Order non-contrast head CT.

Come in.

Hi.

Heard your patient took off.

She's taking a little break.

How long are you gonna wait?

You know about
the cyber shutdown thing?

Yeah.

Wish I could help,
but I gotta stay here

till all the evidence
is collected, so...

It's a hot mess out there.

This whole day is.

Sorry.
I was just leaving.

You OK?

I'm good.

I'm glad to hear it.

You get something to eat?

No.

Let's keep going.

OK.

Yeah.

Why don't we keep one
in the ER?

Because our intubated
patients are usually sedated.

Right.

Maybe you could ease up

with your comments
about his weight.

I was just wondering
how he got so big

and how we could help.

We can help by finding out
what's wrong with him

and treating him with respect.

How's your belly now?

Second pain shot helped.

OK.
There's more if you need it.

Diminished bowel sounds.

VidaTalk from the ICU.

Great.

Howard, we need to open up
that passageway now

so we can pass the tube.

I'm gonna start
with my pinky.

Slowly, over a few minutes,
I'm gonna go deeper,

all the way to the back
of my knuckle.

Once the tube's
through your vocal cords,

you won't be able to talk.

But this is
a communication device.

Swipe through the screen
for anything you want to say.

Hit the icon,
and it talks to us.

I would like
some pain medicine.

My pain is a nine.

Can I get it
to order a pizza?

There's cell service
in the ambulance bay.

I found his sister's
new number, left a voicemail.

OK, I'm gonna start.

You ready?

Not really.

Go ahead.

Robby, over here.

Here we go. Head back.

You thinking it's surgical?

I'm hoping
for a non-perfed appy.

- Can you do it with a scope?
- Possibly,

but he could be treated
with antibiotics alone.

And if he needs surgery?

With his size,
an emergency open laparotomy,

death rate's close to 50%.

OK, one step at a time.

Let's keep trying his sister
every 15 minutes.

She'll get it.

Half the downtime slips
are blank.

What are you talking about?

Here and here.

Larry, are you using
a felt tip pen?

Maybe.

It's not going through
for the copies.

Ballpoint pen only.

OK.

Digby still MIA?

Is that the homeless guy?

We need the bed if he eloped.

- What do you need?
- An attending.

- Or a senior resident?
- Nope, I'm good.

- Dr. Al-Hashimi, can I present?
- Yes.

32-year-old deaf woman
with myofascial headache.

Ibuprofen caused gastritis
and epigastric pain,

and she vasovagalled,
but now pain-free

after Mylanta
and a trigger point injection.

Excellent.
That can take care of the pain

- for several months.
- Yeah.

It shouldn't recur if she keeps
her screen at eye level.

There was a delay

in getting an ASL interpreter.

And I almost gave up
and ordered

an unnecessary brain
and abdominal CT.

Good thing you didn't.

Dr. Al-Hashimi, for you.

Nice job
on the trigger point.

Yeah, I know.

How's the T-system going?

- Quick and easy.
- Yeah.

On these MDMs, don't just
circle your diagnosis.

Also put a backslash
through all the ones

that you've ruled out.

No problem.

Thank you very much.

Princess, bump Central 13
to the front of the CT line.

What do you got?

Sudden onset
blindness patient

has central retinal
artery occlusion.

I just spoke
to an ophthalmologist

at the VA,
principal investigator

for thrombolytics
in cases like this.

Not exactly standard of care.

Kind of risky.

We'll do informed consent.

It's our best shot at saving
some of her vision.

Your patient, your call.

I'm not gonna be around long
enough for any complications.

I'll be taking
two swabs from the vagina,

two swabs from the cervix.

Let me know if you feel
any discomfort.

OK.

Each swab gets labeled--
first vaginal, second vaginal.

Smear a slide with both,
and let it air dry.

Same for the cervix?

Yeah.

No slide needed.

How you doing, Ilana?

Hanging in there.

OK.

Almost done.

All these samples go in
the vaginal contact envelope.

- I can help with that.
- No.

It's gotta be me.

I'm gonna pull this out.

OK.

All good here.

Legs can come down.

Are we done?

One last thing.

Four more swabs
inside your mouth.

Didn't you do that already?

This one's different--
inside your cheek for your DNA,

not for his.

So it could be bipolar
or schizophrenia?

Those are the two
most likely possibilities.

How do they know which it is?

Based on response
to medicine,

but also with therapy
and observation on the ward.

They'll monitor his mood
and interactions with others.

Is there a blood test
or a brain scan

that will tell us for sure?

Unfortunately not.

When properly medicated,
people with bipolar disorder

can have successful careers.

So we hope for bipolar?

You can hope
for your son's happiness.

With early treatment,
20% of people

with schizophrenia have
a complete recovery.

So 80% don't?

This is a new version
of Jackson.

How old was your daughter?

20.

Studying architecture
at Georgetown.

Schizophrenia.

I'm sorry.

Oh, she's good.

Living at home, working
as a cashier at Giant Eagle.

Employee of the Month.

We still have struggles,

but there's also laughter
and love.

Good to go.

How'd that feel?

Very weird.

There's no pain. Just weird.

OK, the next step is,
we're gonna take this tube

and pass it through your nose,

stopping at the back
of your tongue.

Best not to talk for that.

Tube's soaking in warm water
to make it more flexible.

Do you wanna try it?

What day and time is it?

4th of July, 2:31 p.m.

When is my tube coming out?

We have to put it in first.

I know.

Just practicing.

Sounds like
you're an expert already.

Before I can't talk,

I just wanna say

thank you for everything.

You're very welcome.

Here we go.

STI prevention.

One shot treats gonorrhea,

then pills for chlamydia
and trichomonas.

Thank you.

We also have
morning-after contraception.

She has an IUD.

Over 99% effective, not 100%.

We still offer.

I'll pass.

For HIV, we got PEP,
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis.

28 days.

The sooner you start,
the more effective.

Emma, I'm pretty sure
they could use

an extra set of hands
out there.

It's nice to meet you, Ilana.

You're a very brave woman.

Yeah.

She's a good nurse.

She's still learning,
but she will be.

After this, we're done?

Yeah.

I'm glad you were here today.

Me too.

We have a decision to make.

Studies have shown
that some vision

can be restored
with a clot-busting medication.

So give it.

But there are possible risks.

For eye stroke, only 17% get
better without any treatment.

- Only 17%?
- Yes.

But with the medicine,
another 20% can improve.

But there can be complications.

2% of patients who receive
the medication get worse,

and 1% have
severe disability or death.

Honey, this one
has to be your call.

No, it's our call.

What would you do without me?

I'd figure out how to get by.

And I'd probably cry
for two years solid.

Two years? That's all?

I want the medication.

OK.

OK, we need your full name
to make a chart.

Jackie Liddell.

And you are?

Her friend Jaquie.

- You have the same name?
- No, no.

She's Jackie with a C-K.
I'm Jaquie with a Q.

You can call me CK.

Oh.

Best not to talk, CK, OK?

- Just chill.
- Chill?

- Q, I bit off half my tongue!
- What?

She said,
I bit off half my tongue.

You can understand that?

Oh, you should hear her
when she's had

two pitchers of margaritas,
fucked up and slurring.

Ooh, you are such an idiot!

Princess, what's open?

South 15's clean.

Deep tongue laceration.

I can jump on this.

Robby and Al-Hashimi are
both with critical patients.

Hello.

I'm Dr. Langdon.

I'll be supervising your care.

Jesus, CK,
your doctor's fucking hot.

Tube's at 14 centimeters,
just above the airway.

OK, Howard,
I'm going to start.

If you want me to stop,
you just put your hand up, OK?

Blue mark tells me
I'm in the tube.

Looks like he cleared it.

If he inhales,
we should see chords.

OK, deep breath for me,
Howard.

- OK.
- Beautiful.

Chords are sensitive,
so we spray lidocaine

- in the scope.
- OK.

1 cc going in now.

And we'll just give that
a second to work.

How you doing, Howard?

Once the tube's in,
you'll have to breathe

through your nose.

OK, Howard, hold still.

I am now going in
past your vocal cords

until we see the carina.

Ogilvie.

Uh, there.

Right and left mainstem.

And the tube slides in.

And then the scope comes out.

Great.

OK, inflate the balloon.

Deep breath through your nose.

Amazing.

You good?

Great end-tidal waveform.

Does he need a vent?

He's breathing on his own,

but a little CPAP
wouldn't hurt.

Starting at 5, titrate to 10.

OK, that went
really well, Howard.

Now we're going
to check your weight.

So the nurse examiner
is supposed

to lock up the rape kit
in this fridge,

where it stays until it gets
turned over to law enforcement.

It's called preserving
the chain of evidence.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Is there a problem?

Jesus Christ.

Police are supposed to pick up
the rape kits within 72 hours.

This one I did two weeks ago.

God damn it.

So how exactly
did this happen?

We were in between pubs
taking a selfie.

Very nice.

Until she jerked her head up.

Ooh.

Ouch.

OK, topical epi
did the trick.

- No more bleeding.
- Sweet.

I can go home now?

I don't think so.

It looks like the Grand Canyon
across the back of your tongue.

We need to put in
some stitches.

I don't want stitches.

Oh. Listen to the doctor.

Don't tell me what to do.

This is all your fault.

- No, it's not.
- Uh, yes, it is.

- Uh, Princess.
- No, it's not.

Princess, hey,
why don't you show Q

where she can wait
while we patch up her friend?

Of course.

OK, this is
a numbing shot for the tip.

The tip?

That's not where I bit it.

One step at a time.

That's 20 migs of TNK.

In at 14:39.

Feeling anything?

Not yet.

Could take an hour or two.

We're going to move you
to another room

for better monitoring.

Dr. King.

I'd like you to stay with her.

Why?

In case
there are complications.

You'll be there
to respond quickly

to a blown pupil, a seizure,
altered mental status.

Or I could catch up
on my charts.

And my deposition's coming up.

Think of this as a great way
to steal some quiet time

and get mentally prepared.

Jesse, Mel's with you.

Oh, excuse me, Dr. Mohan.

Excuse me.

Dr. Mohan.

Uh, in a minute, George.

I've got this.

Thank you.

Oh, uh, I, um--

D-dimer is back normal.

Oh.

I'm ready to go.

Are you feeling better?

I--I really wasn't
short of breath this time.

Then why'd you come in?

When I found out about
the blood clot in my leg,

I just kept thinking it's gonna
go to my lung and kill me.

We've talked before about how
the Eliquis would prevent that.

I know.

Well, I finally took
your advice.

I got out of the house,
and I joined

the Frick Park
Lawn Bowling Club.

Wonderful.

Yeah.

I mean, you're right, you know?

We all need a community.

You're gonna do what?

In order to fix your tongue,

we need to move it forward
to access the laceration.

You're just gonna feel
some pulling, OK?

I guess so.

Go for it.

What size suture is that?

O-silk, the biggest one
we got.

As soon as I cut the needle,
you're on traction, Joy.

Oh.

That is pretty deep.

And now we can
numb up the cut.

It's best to start with--

Proximal side first
so she doesn't

feel the distal injection.

Give it ten minutes.

I'll be back for the repair.

I got a rape kit
sitting here for two weeks

that was supposed to be
picked up within 72 hours.

I don't care!

Get someone over here now! No.

You expect us
to treat your officers

as soon as they come in,

you get a detective
to pick these kits up ASAP.

I gotta go.

- Dana--
- Hey, Dana.

South 19 got their head CT
before we went down.

No results yet.

All right,
I'll send a reminder.

- Hey, Dana.
- Dana.

Hang on.

What's up?

We put in an order
for more pain meds for Roxie.

All right, so put it
in the nursing racks.

Oh, I did, a long time ago.

All right.
I'll bump it to the front.

Thank you.

Uh, what's that noise?

UFO landed.

Aliens are invading.

Hey, Dana.

Chem 7's not back
on Trauma 2 yet.

Let me see the chart.

Oh, Jesus.

I bet your Chem 7 rec
went to Radiology.

Larry, Antoine.

You put labs and chest X-ray
on the same downtime form.

You need two slips--one
for labs, one for radiology.

- Got it.
- Won't happen again.

I'll run it down myself.

Use the iStat at bedside.

They won't take him to CT
without a creatinine.

Oh, perfect.

Nice to have you back.

Thrilled to be here.

You trying to text?

I am just composing.

I'm gonna send it from the bay.

My mechanic friend, Duke,
never showed up.

I thought he was
coming in this morning.

That was the plan.

I guess he got busy.

What if he's a no-show?

Tell me what he needs.

I'll pass it on
to the night shift.

That won't be necessary.

Oh, Princess.

Ask and you shall receive.

Normal head CT.

Thanks.
I'll get him discharged.

How's your day going?

I think I'm getting
writer's cramp.

You with the big guy?

Yeah. It's sad.

Bad car accident, multiple
operations, tons of stress.

Lidocaine shot
to a sensitive area.

I got a binge-drinking
party girl with a tongue lac.

Mm.

Sounds like
she needs some help.

In more ways than one.

How's, uh--how's
your first shift back going?

One day at a time.

First year sober
is the hardest.

That's what
they keep telling me.

I'm nine years and counting.

Oh.

Special delivery for my guy.

If you, um--if you
need anything, call me.

Thanks.

Where are you going?

Blisters in North 3.

That's where I'm going.

Did you sign up
for the patient?

I pulled the chart
from the rack.

You're supposed to sign up
on the dry-erase board.

You're supposed to have
a clipboard for the patient.

I thought
the nurses had that.

Whatever.

Hi.

I'm Student Doctor Ogilvie.

And this is--wow.

That is some rash.

- Yeah. Tell me about it.
- Student Doctor Javadi.

- When did this start?
- Last night.

And have you been
on any hikes recently

around poison ivy?

Nope. Haven't left the house.

What about new medications,
lotions, soaps,

detergents, even?

I don't take medicine.

Nothing new with all
that other stuff.

Uh-huh.
And where did this start?

Everywhere, all at once.

Just a lot of pain,
really itchy.

What is it?

I'm not sure yet.

Um, be back in a second.

Can't--will you--

What are you thinking?

I have no idea.

Agreed.

Bullous pemphigoid?

Autoimmune severe pruritis?

Yeah, but not as deadly
as pemphigus vulgaris.

Untreated, the death rate
is over 90%.

We need to check
for pustules,

mucous membrane involvement--

And the Nikolsky sign.

Here you go.

What?

For your progress note.

Did I hear
we're making progress?

Oh, um,
it's just what we call it

when we write down things
to describe a clinical course.

Any changes?

Not so far.

It's time for the next
neuro check.

Excuse me, Dr. King,
do you have a minute?

Um, no.

I'm observing
a patient right now.

60 seconds tops.

I'll check pupils.

We're good here.

Hey.

I just finished
my deposition.

Oh, should I go up now?

Yeah.
Just wait until you get a call.

OK.

Well, I'd ask how it went,

but we're not supposed
to discuss the case.

This isn't a discussion.

It's a monologue,
so shut up and listen.

The malpractice case
is frivolous.

The mother
of the measles kid claims

we caused intellectual decline

by performing a spinal tap.

But the tap was perfect
with no complications.

Her son presented
with altered mental status

due to low oxygen
from measles pneumonia.

Any change in intellect was
due to hypoxic brain injury.

It had nothing to do
with your spinal tap.

End of monologue.

We never discussed the case.

I gotta get some sleep.

Thanks, I guess.

OK, are you ready
to lay down?

I got your head.

Nice and slow.

One, two, three.

OK.

How's that feel?

Lifting up now.

Keep going.

And... that ought to do it
right about there.

215?

Oh, that's in kilos.

OK, team.

It's not that much over 450.

No, we can't risk breaking
our CT on a holiday weekend.

Would the medics take him
while he's intubated?

If I go along for the ride,
I could still get a nap in

before my night shift.

474.

Our CT can't handle
your weight,

but we're gonna take you over
to Presbyterian Hospital.

Road trip.

I'll keep you company
the whole time.

Sorry for all this trouble.

It's OK.

This is what we do.

So sub Q starts deep.

You want to bury the knot.

Yeah, I've done these before.

Joy, how do we cut the ends?

Short.
Slide to the knot.

Turn 45 degrees.

Excellent.

Um, Dr. Langdon,
we have a case.

It'll have to wait.

It could be urgent.

Find Robby or Al-Hashimi.

This girl is wasted.

Drunk as a skunk.

Should we check
her blood alcohol level?

No, it won't change
what we do.

She can go home
when she has a steady gait.

I already sent one off.

Joy, do you want to guess
her blood alcohol?

Why would I want to do that?

I don't know.
'Cause it's fun.

When will you have a bed?

I'm not sure she needs a bed.

She's a febrile infant.

Who is clearly over a month
old and looks amazing.

Every marker is normal.
She has a cold virus.

Infants with rhinovirus
can still have

a serious bacterial infection.

Not this one.

We send kids like this home
all the time.

Except this one doesn't have
a home or a parent.

All right.

I can't put a kid
with a virus in the nursery,

and I can't waste a private
room on a healthy baby.

Then what do you propose?

CYF can place her
in emergency foster care

by tomorrow morning.

You want to leave her
down here overnight?

Seems to be the standard
of care these days.

Have your attending
give me a call.

Will do.

I can't believe this.

Let CYF know
it's very urgent.

Got it.

This is turning
into quite the day.

You know, I've been thinking

about applying
for a fellowship.

I thought you had a job
lined up in New Jersey.

I did, to be close to my mom.

But she sold her house
to travel the world

with her new boyfriend.

So what's the point
of New Jersey?

Yeah, good question.

Which fellowship?

I've narrowed it down
to ultrasound, toxicology,

and sports medicine.

Those are
very disparate fields

leading to very
different careers.

I know.

I'm a little undecided.

Do you have
research experience?

I was a part of a study
on racial disparities

in health care
until the White House

cut the funding last year.

Yeah. You are not alone.

Have you considered
a geriatrics fellowship?

I have not.

I've seen your skills
with the elderly,

and there are
a lot of openings.

It might be your best shot.

Think about it.

Last stitch.

You want me to cut?

I got it.

It looks good.

OK.
Let's pull the traction suture.

With pleasure.

OK, Jackie.

- Jackie.
- Stop it.

Stop.

All done.

All done with what?

Sewing up your tongue.

What happened to my tongue?

You bit it.

Ha.

No, I didn't.

That is called a blackout.

How much did you drink?

A couple Bloody Marys.

Only a couple?

I don't know. Maybe more.

It's a holiday, a pub crawl.

Do you usually have
a couple cocktails every day?

Only on weekends.

How about during the week?

Nothing much.

Just wine with dinner
or a few beers.

Maybe we should
recommend rehab?

Yeah.

We could try.

Ready to roll.

How are you feeling?

My pain is a two.

We got meds if you need them.

Scan will be quicker
than the ride to Presby.

We'll keep trying
to reach your sister.

- You guys are the best.
- See you later.

Can I put a new patient
in T1?

Uh, no, I kind of want
to leave one trauma room open.

Why don't you double up
the north if you have to?

Mr. Digby?

- It's just Digby.
- Right.

We've been looking all over.
Where you been?

With Louie.

You've been in there
for an hour?

He was my friend.

- I had a lot to say.
- Hmm.

Well, let's get you
back to your bed.

Louie got his wings.

- Dr. Robby.
- Dr. Robby.

We picked up
a patient together.

Teamwork!

It's a concerning
bullous rash.

We might need a biopsy
for pemphigus vulgaris.

It's phytophotodermatitis.

- What?
- I asked.

He was making three gallons
of margaritas for a party,

squeezing fresh limes
out in the sun.

Let's go take a peek.

I don't need to see it again.

How's it going out there?

Standing room only.

If I call the fire department,
will they clear

- that waiting room?
- I wish.

What's up?

12 patients need med refills.

Shouldn't they see
their doctors?

With the Medicaid cuts,
we are their doctor.

No, I can't e-prescribe
to their pharmacies.

So get out your pen.
Go old school.

Dana, on what?

Nordt, you got
the security pads?

Sure do.

Just need a patient sticker.

- Any other questions?
- Yeah.

What would have happened
if you weren't here today?

You'd all be curled up
in the fetal position,

crying like babies.

Were you wearing flip-flops?

I was.

- What is it?
- Phytophotodermatitis.

Otherwise known
as margarita burn.

For some people,
limes plus sunshine

can cause a horrible rash.

This is all because of limes?

Have you ever squeezed limes
outside in the sun before?

I don't think so.

You will feel better
after a day of steroid pills.

But once these heal,
you gotta wear sunscreen.

Because these blisters
can turn into dark scars

and stay a while if you don't.

I'll be right back with
your aftercare instructions.

- Hey, Robby.
- Yep.

My, uh--
my hospice patient Roxie

is still in a ton of pain.

Where are we
with the morphine?

10 milligrams an hour.

OK, you can bolus another 2
and go up to 12.

I will let Princess know.

12 an hour is a lot.

Yeah, on top
of the MS Contin,

she could stop breathing.

Are you familiar with
the doctrine of double effect?

- Not really.
- No.

It is an ethical principle
in palliative care.

We treat pain.

And if, in doing so,
there's a negative side effect,

we accept it.

Even if the negative
side effect is death?

In some cases,
that could be the best outcome.

Maybe the nurse has it.

Emma. Emma, where does--

Maybe the fax
ran out of paper?

No, there is enough paper.
I don't know what's wrong.

- Could be in another room.
- We should call IT.

You want me to check
every room?

How are we gonna
get through this mess?

I was about to ask you.

Ask the pharmacist.

She can't leave the PDS.

Nothing's getting done here.
