controlling his tongue
inside his mouth.

352
00:13:55,704 --> 00:13:58,141
Both of those things, you know,
symptoms of overmedication.

353
00:13:58,185 --> 00:14:00,013
I just think his dose
is too high.

354
00:14:00,056 --> 00:14:01,884
- He's coming down now, though.
- Oh, yeah.

355
00:14:01,928 --> 00:14:04,539
Gave him some Ativan and some
Benadryl so he can rest.

356
00:14:04,582 --> 00:14:06,541
I'm gonna reassess in a bit.

357
00:14:06,584 --> 00:14:08,108
- [exhales heavily]

358
00:14:08,151 --> 00:14:10,893
You know, I've known the family
since I was a rookie cop.

359
00:14:10,937 --> 00:14:12,025
Roland's always been
a bright kid

360
00:14:12,068 --> 00:14:15,593
but shy, sensitive.

361
00:14:15,637 --> 00:14:17,073
Doesn't help that
his neighborhood's a war zone.

362
00:14:17,117 --> 00:14:18,422
- Yeah.

363
00:14:18,466 --> 00:14:20,598
I'm sorry that you had to
go it alone out there,

364
00:14:20,642 --> 00:14:23,688
but, look, thank God
you were there, right?

365
00:14:23,732 --> 00:14:26,561
So a good job.

366
00:14:26,604 --> 00:14:27,605
I'll check back.

367
00:14:34,786 --> 00:14:36,701
- Hey, Mr. Kumar.
I'm Dr. Marcel.

368
00:14:36,745 --> 00:14:38,790
I'm the E.D. surgeon
on call today.

369
00:14:38,834 --> 00:14:41,532
- Oh, man, I've been upgraded?

370
00:14:41,576 --> 00:14:43,186
That's--that's not a good sign.

371
00:14:43,230 --> 00:14:45,058
- Well, the resident you saw
when you came in

372
00:14:45,101 --> 00:14:47,843
asked me to consult because
of your chest X-ray results.

373
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:50,628
It's protocol,
not necessarily an omen.

374
00:14:50,672 --> 00:14:53,588
- All right, the X-ray.
Lay it on me.

375
00:14:53,631 --> 00:14:55,851
- So it showed
a widened mediastinum,

376
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:57,809
partition between your lungs.

377
00:14:57,853 --> 00:15:02,945
So given your symptoms,
fatigue, back pain,

378
00:15:02,989 --> 00:15:04,947
trouble swallowing,
hypertension.

379
00:15:04,991 --> 00:15:07,080
The widened mediastinum
could by symptomatic

380
00:15:07,123 --> 00:15:10,561
of a lot of things,
or it could be nothing.

381
00:15:10,605 --> 00:15:13,477
Nothing. Let's--
Yeah, let's go with that.

382
00:15:13,521 --> 00:15:14,957
- Right.

383
00:15:15,001 --> 00:15:16,872
Well, you know,
I'm gonna send you

384
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:19,092
for a CT
of your chest and abdomen.

385
00:15:19,135 --> 00:15:20,528
Get a better look
at what's doing,

386
00:15:20,571 --> 00:15:22,965
and then we'll go
from there, okay?

387
00:15:23,009 --> 00:15:24,880
- I'd be on my bike by now.

388
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,621
- I'm sorry?

389
00:15:26,664 --> 00:15:31,800
- I had to pull out
of a Half-Ironman triathlon.

390
00:15:31,843 --> 00:15:34,498
- Oh.
- 1.2 mile saltwater swim,

391
00:15:34,542 --> 00:15:36,500
56 mile bike ride.

392
00:15:36,544 --> 00:15:40,113
Now it tires me out
just watching the race online.

393
00:15:40,156 --> 00:15:42,071
- Well, I'm sorry
to hear that, man.

394
00:15:42,115 --> 00:15:43,812
Yeah, well, listen,
hang in there.

395
00:15:43,855 --> 00:15:46,684
Tech'll be by soon,
get you that scan, okay?

396
00:15:46,728 --> 00:15:48,599
- Okay.
- All right.

[apprehensive music]

398
00:15:50,862 --> 00:15:54,910
- It started with migraines
when I was in the 11th grade,

399
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:58,653
and they found the tumor
a year later.

400
00:15:58,696 --> 00:16:00,829
The day after I graduated
from high school,

401
00:16:00,872 --> 00:16:04,659
they took it out,
and I felt much better.

402
00:16:04,702 --> 00:16:09,142
No speech issues,
no more balance problems.

403
00:16:09,185 --> 00:16:12,580
I was healed, or so I thought.

404
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:16,888
Turns out the tumor
was cancerous.

405
00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:25,158
Anaplastic astrocytoma
has been my life since 1991.

406
00:16:25,201 --> 00:16:28,857
- The previous recurrences
were benign.

407
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:32,034
It's possible that
this one is too.

408
00:16:32,078 --> 00:16:35,081
But we can't be sure without--
- A biopsy.

409
00:16:37,083 --> 00:16:40,825
Digging out a little more
of my brain.

410
00:16:40,869 --> 00:16:41,913
No, thank you.

411
00:16:43,741 --> 00:16:46,048
- Do you not want to know
what it is?

412
00:16:46,092 --> 00:16:48,355
- The original chemo
and radiation,

413
00:16:48,398 --> 00:16:51,358
they were brutal.

414
00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:52,794
And the biopsies?

415
00:16:52,837 --> 00:16:55,840
Each one has left me
a little worse for wear.

416
00:16:55,884 --> 00:16:58,321
My eyesight's bad,
my hearing's going,

my hormones are out of whack,

my bones are brittle.

419
00:17:04,762 --> 00:17:07,591
I just don't want
to risk anymore damage.

420
00:17:07,635 --> 00:17:09,811
So, okay, you can treat my arm.

421
00:17:09,854 --> 00:17:11,639
But after that,
I want to go home.

Ortho will be by soon.

- I feel so bad for her.

00:17:28,873 --> 00:17:31,659
- She's been through hell,
there's no question.

427
00:17:31,702 --> 00:17:34,227
But her diagnosis,
Anaplastic astrocytoma,

428
00:17:34,270 --> 00:17:35,271
it doesn't add up.

429
00:17:35,315 --> 00:17:36,359
- What do you mean?

430
00:17:36,403 --> 00:17:37,969
- A.A. is fatal.

431
00:17:38,013 --> 00:17:40,276
Life expectancy post-diagnosis
is a few years at best.

Ashley has survived 30.

- You don't think she has it.

- I don't know what's going on.

435
00:17:46,456 --> 00:17:48,328
But whatever's happening,
it started in 1991

with that original tumor.

- 30 years.

00:17:51,983 --> 00:17:54,029
I mean, any chance
a tissue sample still exists?

439
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:55,117
- Oh, no, I doubt it.

440
00:17:56,901 --> 00:17:59,121
But maybe the pathology report
still does.

441
00:17:59,165 --> 00:18:00,427
- Pre-dates 2000,
so it won't be

in her electronic file,

443

on paper somewhere.

Let's start looking.
- Okay.

When he wakes up,

448
00:18:13,483 --> 00:18:15,050
Dr. Charles will come
do another exam.

when the break happened.

To visit Harold Washington.

00:18:25,887 --> 00:18:27,323
- Hmm. City College?

Roland hasn't left
the apartment.

454
00:18:33,851 --> 00:18:35,375
But yesterday,

455
00:18:35,418 --> 00:18:37,681
he said he wanted
to try again at school.

456
00:18:40,423 --> 00:18:42,251
I was so hopeful it was...

00:18:43,774 --> 00:18:45,341
The beginning of something
for him.

But the bus was crowded.

Your stomach pain is
from a tear in your GI tract.

How does that happen?

typically I see it

00:20:28,575 --> 00:20:32,013
from penetrative trauma, uh,
bullets, stab wounds...

before surgery.

507
00:20:46,854 --> 00:20:49,552
Hey, your elixir.
I saw you eating ice.

Is that always
part of the process?

509
00:20:51,032 --> 00:20:55,384
- Yeah, chewing on a cold cube
is just satisfying.

510
00:20:55,428 --> 00:20:57,821
- Well, I think one
might have caused the tear.

511
00:20:57,865 --> 00:20:58,996
Yeah, it's likely
been getting bigger

you've swallowed since.

I'm gonna fill him in,

00:21:12,488 --> 00:21:13,968
I suspect the tear's
somewhere near

520
00:21:14,011 --> 00:21:15,361
the gastro-esophageal junction.

891

there's nobody else to call
for help but the police.

893
00:37:28,158 --> 00:37:29,508

a crisis intervention program.

A unit trained specifically
for de-escalation.

903

step in police reform to me.

Lots of training
needed for police,
