- Baran, is this you?

- It began after a bad case
of viral meningitis

when I was five.

They tried every
anti-seizure medication,

but I still had episodes
every few months or so.

No one's ever noticed before.

They just think I'm thoughtful.

- Are you driving?

- I couldn't
until laser ablation

to my left temporal lobe
12 years ago.

Between that and the Keppra,
I've been seizure-free,

cleared by Neurology to drive
and to work as an attending.

- How long, uh,
between the seizure

you had today and the last one?

- It's been well over a year.

But I had two today.

I don't know why.

It could be sleep deprivation,
new job stress.

I--I haven't had to deal
with Peds cases

since Afghanistan.

- What are your options now?

- Um...

up my Keppra or maybe try

one of the newer
anti-seizure meds.

But if that doesn't work,
I'm left with two choices--

um, a temporal lobectomy,
which could impair my speech,

or get a neuromodulation
device,

which can sense
and stop the seizures

almost immediately.

- You need to disclose this.

- I know. I have a plan.

- Hey, Robby,
Dana's looking for you.

She's in Peds.

- Yeah, OK,
I'll be right there.

[door closes]

- Sounds like
you're needed in Peds,

and I have patients to see.

- Robby, pregnant woman
with severe headache

on her way in by ambulance.

- Find Abbot
or a night shift resident.

[indistinct chatter]

- Need you to turn out
your pockets.

OK. Show me your hands.

- [sighs]

[urine trickling]

Come here often?

[baby crying]

- [clears throat]

What's going on?

- Oh, sorry--false alarm.

We thought she spiked a fever,
but it was the wrong chart

from our analog hell.

You know anybody who might
consider kinship adoption?

Doctors and nurses qualify.

- Don't look at me.

Hey, can your staff
keep an eye on Dr. Al-Hashimi

until she leaves?

- Why?

- Uh, because I think
she's tired,

and I don't want her
to make any mistakes.

- Oh, great advice.
Maybe you should take it.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna go get
some fresh air.

- Grab some for me
while you're out there.

- Your lungs wouldn't know
what to do with it.

- Screw you!

- In front of the baby? Nice.

[baby crying]

- Yeah.

- We are the night crawlers.

We deal with the weirdest
and the wildest because...

all: We are the weirdest
and the wildest of them all.

- That is right, and tonight,

they are really gonna be
crawling.

Now go get some!

all: Hooah!

- [claps]

- [clears throat]

- Sorry to wake you.

- I--I was thinking.

[yawns] Doubt PTX.

- You're supposed
to be leaving.

- I am.

- You know,
this spirit quest of yours

has a lot of people
up in arms around here.

- Everyone's gonna be fine
without me,

and it's hardly a spirit quest.

- Whatever it is,
it seems you've given people

the impression
you might not be coming back.

- Well, who knows

what the future has in store
for any of us?

- Yeah, saying shit
like that right there

isn't helping.

People are worried about you.

- Dr. Abbot,
the patient in South 21,

Digby, he's missing again.

- Sounds like
a day shift problem.

- Not if he was
handed off already.

- Best I can do
under the circumstances.

- Thank you.

Hey, don't leave
before I get back, yeah?

- Hell, I feel like
I live here now.

- Your friend fixing your bike?

- Ambulance clipped it

while it was just
parked here today.

- Jesus Christ.

That's a sign
if I've ever seen one.

[siren chirps]

Yeah, here's the thing--
when people worry about you,

it makes me think that
I should be worried about you,

and I don't like worrying
about things.

- Ooh. Now you're a shrink?

- No, I'm trying
to be your friend.

You got--you got Dana convinced

that you're gonna
hurt yourself.

- Dana's got her own issues.
- That sounds like projection.

- Are you seriously trying
to have this fucking

conversation with me
right now, man?

I--I'm not the one

who spends his free time
getting shot at.

Hooah!

- Hey, Dr. Robby,
this is Judith Lastrade--

36 weeks pregnant
with two days of headache,

now a 10 out of 10
with blurred vision.

BP 174/120, heart rate 92.

No relief with fentanyl.
- Judith, I'm Dr. Abbot.

Any weakness
in your arms or legs?

- No, no. Is this a stroke?

- We need to check
for everything.

- Pitting edema
with severe preeclampsia.

Where are you doing
your prenatal care?

- Nowhere.

It's a wild pregnancy.

I want a free birth.

- This 81-year-old nun
presents with red, itchy eyes

with secretions
for the past two days.

Patient complains
of no URI symptoms,

no contact with any chemical...
- Hey.

- Agents,
no known exposures--

- Want half a Monster?

- Oh, no, thanks.

I--I don't really want
to stay awake

any longer than I have to.

- Yeah, I hear you.

- Did you find your ID badge?

- Uh, no.

You any closer to deciding
what's next for you?

- Uh, yeah, I'm seriously
considering law school.

- What?
What are you talking about?

You're gonna be a great doctor.

- I mean, no offense, but look
what this place does to you.

Langdon's an addict.

- Is a person with
a substance use disorder.

- McKay was on house arrest.

Dana's a time bomb.

Santos is one
of the angriest people

you are ever going to meet.

- Sarcastic, yes.
Cynical, definitely.

I don't know
if she's, you know--

- Mel?

Samira has no life.

Abbot's an adrenaline junkie
who gets shot at for fun.

Robby's got, like, PTSD
or something way fucking worse.

- OK, well, I--I mean,

I'd hate to know
what you think about me.

- I don't know, I just--

the more time I spend here,

the more I realize
the importance

of my mental health.

- Mm.

- For patients and for us.

And this is...

- Yeah.

Well, you know,

maybe that's
what you should focus on.

- What?
- Mental health.

Clearly, you have
a passion for it, right?

I mean, that's--that's great.

- I don't know if
I'd call it a passion.

I would call it, like, a...

Oh, my God.

You might be right.

Oh, you're a genius, Whitaker.

- Oh, OK.

[laughs]

- CTG is on.

- CTG?
- Cardiotocography.

Measures the baby's heart rate
and checks for contractions.

- Fetal heart rate 128.

Normal range, Nazely?

- 110 to 160.

- So the baby's OK?

- Right now, yes.

128 is reassuring.

- BP's 170/119.

6 grams of magnesium
running in.

- Your next move, Crus?

- 20 of labetalol,
IV push over two minutes.

- Uh, what's happening?

- Uh, you have a condition
called preeclampsia.

- And how did it happen?

- Uh, nobody really knows,
actually.

It affects about 10%
of the pregnancies.

High blood pressure, headaches,

protein in the urine,
and swollen ankles.

- OK, well,
it's a wild pregnancy,

so that means no medical care.

- Then why are you here?

- [crying]

I just need to get rid
of this headache.

- Well, if we don't lower
your blood pressure

and treat with magnesium,
there can be problems.

- Like what?

- Seizures, bleeding,

even death,
for you and the baby.

- [crying] Oh, my God.

- Robby, your VIP's
ready to go.

- OK, I'll be right there.

You good?
- Yeah, I'm good.

I got it.
With my eyes closed.

But I won't. Maybe one eye.

[clicks tongue]

Hey--
[door closes]

[machines beeping]

- Hey, Becca.
How you feeling?

- I'm better. Thanks.

- Where are you?

- I'm at Adam's house.

Can I call you later?
We're watching a movie.

- Oh, sure.
I just--I thought

you were gonna see
the fireworks.

- Nope, we decided
to watch "Elf" instead.

- Ah.

Of course you did.
- OK.

I'll call you tomorrow!
- Tomorrow? Wait.

Uh, are--are you
spending the night?

- Um, uh, yes.

His parents invited me.

- They--they need
to ask me that.

- Are--are you
staying here too?

- No, they--they needed to ask
if it was OK if you stayed.

- Why?

- Be--because, uh,
it's polite.

It's the right--
it's the right thing to do.

Um, I need to talk to them.

- Um, they're not here.
They're at a barbecue.

- OK, um,
can you have them call me

as soon as they get home?

- Yes.
- Can you promise?

- I promise.
OK, bye, Mel!

[phone chimes]
- Bye. Have fun--

- Thanks for fixing my bike.

- Well, you keep me running,
I'll keep her going.

You know, the Cree don't have
a word for goodbye.

- You know a lot of Cree?

- [chuckles] A bit.

I got around, man.

- I don't doubt it.

- Look, I'll come back
for all this other shit...

- Great.

- If you promise to come back

and let me take
the Bonnie for a ride.

- Uh, I don't know.

I've seen you ride, old man.

- Fuck you.

I mean it.

We got a deal?

- I'll think about it.

This looks like an ambush.

- We got a slight hiccup
in chairs.

- ICE is back?

- No, we got a dead body.

- Somebody died out there?
- Yeah.

- Poor devil checked in
at 5:00 this morning.

He was a DNR.
- [groans]

What was his chief complaint?
- Hemorrhoids

and constipation.
- No shit.

- Hence the constipation.
- [laughs]

- Throw me a slow one,
I'm gonna hit it.

- Tell the night shift.
I'm saying that's when he died.

We all in agreement on that?

- To the grave.

Just like poor Jasper.

- You're on fire.

- Just getting my second wind.

- How's the headache?

- Still a 10.

- More fentanyl?

- Yep.
- BP's good. Another 50.

- Hey, Abbot.

Attending and resident
are stuck in the OR.

- Oh, you're
the next best thing.

- Better, some would say.

- Mm.

- What do you got?
- This is Judith.

G1, P0 with no prenatal care.

Preeclampsia
with severe hypertension.

- Hi, Judith.
Nurse Garvin from OB.

- Some jelly on the belly.

Gonna take a quick look
with ultrasound.

- No, no, no.
Ultrasound can harm the baby.

- Not true.
- Not doing the ultrasound

could end up harming you
and the baby.

- [sighs] OK.

Just do it as fast as you can.

- Why no prenatal care, Judith?

- I wanted a free birth--

no doctors, no hospital,
no medicine.

- Mm. You have a midwife?

A birth doula?

- No, I don't need one.

Women have been having
children on their own

for thousands of years.

- Yeah, with
an infant mortality rate

of 30% for most of those
thousands of years.

- Femur length 7 centimeters.
- 37 weeks.

They'll probably induce.

- What? No.

No, no, no, no. Absolutely not.

- At 37 weeks,

the cure for preeclampsia
is to deliver the baby.

We need to get you upstairs
so the OB doctors

can induce labor
to save you and your baby.

- No. No, no, no, no. Mm-mm.

- Yep, that's
definitely Jasper.

He was alive and kicking

when my shift ended
this morning.

This is definitely
a day shift patient.

- Now he's not a patient.

He's a DB that
we gotta deal with.

- [sighs]

- Is this dude dead?

both: Nope.

- All right, Mr. Reed,
time to take you back

and get you checked out, OK?

- He sure looks dead.
- Are you a doctor?

- No, but he--
- Has hypernarcolepsy.

It's no joke.
- Mm-hmm.

- Excuse me.
- [clears throat]

- Oh, sometimes I hate nights.

- Yep.
- Oof.

[grunts]

[fireworks whistling, popping]

- Wow.

Crazy how muggy
it still is out here.

You, uh--you seen Robby?

- Uh, not for a bit.

- You catch up on your charts

from the beginning
of the shift?

- Yeah.

- What are you still
doing here?

- Uh, just gonna...

- You staying
for the fireworks?

- Yeah.

I was supposed to see them
with Becca,

but she is
at her boyfriend Adam's

family's house instead.

- Your sister seems like
she's, uh, pretty put-together.

- Yeah.

Uh, a lot more than I realized.

- How was your day?

- I've had better.

You?

- Yeah.

But then again,
I've had a lot worse.

Hell, I did a closed cervical
reduction, like, an hour ago.

- Oh, I heard.
That must have been so intense.

- My hands are still shaking.

- Hey, um, do you think
you could teach me

how to do that sometime?

- Uh, yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, sure. I mean,

I hope you never
have to use it.

I could have paralyzed
that guy.

- Yeah, but you didn't.

- No, I didn't.

Thank you...

by the way, for...

talking me down earlier.

I'm sorry I snapped.

- It's OK.

- Dr. Mohan, you ever heard
of kinship fostering?

It's where a nurse
or doctor can

become an emergency foster--
- Oh, no.

I don't need any kids.

I need to find a job first.

Candice O'Grady is
an 82-year-old female

brought in by her son
for intractable vomiting.

No fever, no chills,
no abdominal pain, no rash.

- Beep.

- Oh, I've already got one
I can barely keep up with.

- What about Sleeping Beauty
over here?

- She's already babysitting
Whitaker.

- Well, if you know anyone
who'd like to help us out

with Baby Jane Doe,
have them call the main desk.

- Sure thing.

- I'd take her myself,
but Benji'd kill me.

- BP's 164/114.

- Another 40 of labetalol.

- Mag bolus is in.

Now infusing 2 grams an hour.

- Labs are coming back.

Hemoglobin 7.5, platelets 40.

LFTs are sky high.

- HELLP syndrome.
- Hemolytic anemia,

elevated liver enzymes,
and low platelets.

- They're cleaning a room.

We can bring her up
in ten minutes.

- How you doing, Judith?

- I--I--

[machine beeping]
- Oh, she's seizing.

- Oh, shit.

10 of IV diazepam.
Have another 10 ready.

- With all the movement,
we can't get a fetal heartbeat.

- Putting on 15 liters by mask.
Should we intubate?

- Hold intubation.
Let's try to break this.

We don't want to mask seizures
with paralysis

unless we have to.

OK, um...

[rapid beeping]

Crus, CTG isn't reading.

Check with ultrasound.
- On it.

- Nazely, what's the diagnosis?

- Um, with the seizure,
now it's eclampsia.

- Fetal heart rate is about 90.
- Way too low.

- Mom's sats are going down.

- Time to tube her?

- Set up for it, but wait.

Another 10 of diazepam.

Push 4 grams of Keppra.

[baby fussing]

- History of hypertension

presents to the emergency
department

with a chief complaint
of dizziness

after inadvertently
ingesting 80 milligrams--

- Hey, how are you guys
making out?

- Yeah, we're getting there.

- Have you seen Dr. Al-Hashimi?

- No.
- Can I talk to you for a sec?

So I just wanted
to let you know that I've been

checking out some
of your online posts--

- Look, I was just
trying to help

get some health messages
out there,

especially for young people.
- I think they're great.

Really good.

- You do?
- Yeah.

Yeah, um, keep it up.

- OK.

- As long as you follow
the HIPAA laws.

- I do.

- And wait until
you're done charting.

- [scoffs] Sure.

Actually, Dr. Robby--sorry,
um, can I ask you a question?

- Shoot.

- Um, I--I may be

considering
emergency psychiatry.

- Very cool.

- Think I could do it?

- I think that you could do

anything that you put
your mind to, Victoria.

- OK.

- Pulse ox is 88.

[rapid beeping]

- Dr. Abbot?

Intubate?
- Let's do it.

Nazely, what do you suggest
for rapid sequence induction?

- Etomidate and roc.

- Mm, not quite.

120 of propofol,

60 of succinylcholine.

Why is that, Crus?

- Propofol
for the anti-seizure effect,

sux to avoid
prolonged paralysis

so we can check her neuro exam.
- Exactly.

- Pushing the propofol.

- Once she's flat
for intubation,

we need to displace
the uterus to the left.

- Nazely, that's you.
Big hug, both arms.

Get the baby off the vena cava.
- Sux is on board.

- But after she's paralyzed,
the seizing stops, right?

- It might look like that,

but an ongoing seizure
will still fry the brain.

We monitor with EEG.

- Is there time for that?
- Wait and see.

- Paralytics kicked in.

- Let's go.
Roll her to her back.

- Intubate, then EEG

to see if her brain is
still seizing.

I need first pass success.

- You and me both.

[machinery beeping]

[indistinct chatter]

- [sighs]
Have you seen Dr. Al-Hashimi?

- No.

- Have you seen Dr. Al-Hashimi?

Al-Hashimi?

- With how this day's going,
she probably quit.

- Last I saw her, she was
in Peds with Baby Jane Doe.

- Nope, I was just in there.

- Want me to page her?

- Uh, no, that's OK.

I will find her.

Hello.

Hey, how did our people do
at the deposition?

- Oh, well,
Dr. Ellis is a pit bull.

Dr. King is a petunia.

They were pretty brutal
with her.

- She's sensitive.
- Very.

And I'm afraid it isn't over.

They want to call her back.

- Oh, that's unfortunate.

Maybe I should go with you

to break that news to her,
actually.

- Misery loves company.
- Um, hey, while I have you,

can I pose a hypothetical
to you?

If a doctor suspects
another physician

of having a medical condition
that could negatively

affect the way they
would treat a patient,

where would
disclosing that fall

on the HIPAA violation scale?

- First, do no harm.

Dr. King, do you have a second?

- Mm...

- Good lung sliding
bilaterally.

- Fetal heart rate
borderline at 98.

- Roll her to the left again.
That can help.

- One, two, three.
- [grunts]

OK, all set here.

- EEG monitor's good to go.

- That was fast.

- Still seizing
while paralyzed.

It's nonconvulsive status.

- What's she had so far?

- 30 of diazepam,
a full load of mag,

Keppra, and propofol.

- Damn. What's your next step?

- Any ideas?

Hmm? Nazely?

- Dilantin? Valproate?

- Mm, infusion is too long.

So is onset of action.

Push 100 of ketamine.

That's had results
with refractory status.

- She also has HELLP syndrome--
hemoglobin only 7,

platelets down to 30.
- Two units whole blood?

- O-neg is going up on
the rapid infuser as we speak.

- Uh, put the AP pads on,
just in case.

- And 10 of Decadron IV push
for the inflammatory storm.

- Fetal heart rate up to 104.
- Hmm.

- Little better.
- Yeah.

She should be upstairs with OB.

- She will be
after we break this seizure.

- There was a delay
in history-taking

due to a malfunctioning
VRI interpretation device.

During this time,
there was a normal CBC

and comprehensive
metabolic panel

that came back from the lab.

What's wrong with you,
Malfeasance?

- I have to do
another deposition.

- Oh, that sucks.

You must have really messed up.
[chuckles]

Dude, I'm joking.

You gotta lighten up.

It's all just bullshit.

[sighs] God, you know what?
Fuck all this.

Do you want to go get a drink?

- Me?

- Yes, you.

You--you do go out, don't you?

- Well, I'm usually with Becca.

- Well, bring her along.

Can she drive?

- No, and she's
with her boyfriend.

- OK, Becca.

So it's just you and me.

Do you like karaoke?

- You do karaoke?

- Well, what I do is more like
primal scream therapy.

There's nothing like
getting wasted

and just absolutely wailing

to shake off a shit show
like today.

- I could use a fun night.

- You and me both, sister.

- There's been no improvement.

Still seizing on the EEG.

Neurology has been called.
- OK. Got it.

OB says send her up.
They have an OR ready.

- About time.

- Baby's been bradying down
a bit more.

- This one looks like
it took a turn for the worse.

- Eclampsia,
refractory seizures,

HELLP syndrome with anemia
and thrombocytopenia.

- Yeah,
about as bad as it gets.

[alarm blaring]
- V-fib!

- Chest compressions, Nazely.

Charge to 200.

- Prep the belly.

Get a baby warmer.

Call the NICU. Start a timer.

- Charged.

Clear.

- Continue compressions.

We'll check a rhythm

- Gown up.

Robby, it's you and me.

- Nazely,
what's the four-minute rule?

- Uh, not sure.

- Pregnant patient
with a viable fetus,

you have four minutes
after cardiac arrest

to save the baby.
- And the mom.

We don't call it a postmortem
C-section anymore.

It's a resuscitative
hysterotomy

to try to save them both.

- But she doesn't want
any medical intervention.

- That doesn't matter.

Mom and baby are both dead
if we do nothing.

OK, charge to 200.

One more rhythm check and then
Abbot and I are gonna cut.

OK, yeah, thanks.

I appreciate it, honey.

Oh, gotta go.

- What?

- One of you follow me.

Rape kits are supposed
to be picked up

within 72 hours
of collecting 'em.

This one's been here
for over two weeks.

- That's not on us.

- Well, it's on somebody.

It's not bad enough
these poor women

go through an assault,
plus the indignity

of the whole
collection process,

but nobody from
the police department

even has the human decency
to come get these things?

Like nobody there
gives a flying fuck?

- OK, we got it.

We'll see that these get
put into evidence properly.

- Thank you.

How hard was that?

[rapid beeping]

- Units five and six are in.

- Down to a slow ooze here.

- Hold compressions.

[machinery beeping]

- Looks like sinus.

And I got a weak carotid.
- OK.

Cycle the BP.

- Better filling,
better squeeze.

- No seizure activity
on the EEG.

- That's progress.
That's progress.

- We're at five minutes.

- Uh, heart rate is 132.

Uh, pulse ox 79%.

Nazely, the APGAR?

- Um...

1 off for color,
1 off for tone,

1 off for respiration
with hypoxia, total of 7.

- Respiration score is

not pulse ox.

- Sat of 80 is normal

With no crying,
she still gets 1 off.

- Yeah.

[baby crying]
- Ah!

She just scored
the winning point!

APGAR of 8 is pretty normal.

- Holy shit. What did I miss?

- Eclampsia with status,
HELLP syndrome,

cardiac arrest,
resuscitative hysterotomy.

- I was in the OR
with a septic twin C-section.

Got your text 12 minutes ago.

- Shit happens fast down here.

She's in 4202,
recovering nicely.

- Great, great.

Saved her life, even if
we couldn't save her leg.

- Unfortunately, it was above.

- My cell phone

He can help if there's
any emergencies.

- Whatever.

And follow up with Duke

- Yeah.

She agrees I can work
with double coverage.

- That's not her call to make.

You can't do anything critical

where a five-second lapse
in consciousness

could potentially
kill a patient.

- I agree.

- [sighs]

- But 90% of our patients

don't require
critical procedures.

- And the ones that do?

- Will be handled by
whomever is working with me.

- Unless they're also tied up
with a critical patient.

What if it's a double
or triple trauma?

- Robby, I can handle it.
- No, you can't.

And I can't let you.

- I am fully capable
of handling--

- No, you are not
fully capable,

and you know it.

- What do you want from me?

- I want what's best
for this department--

patients and staff.

Best-case scenario,
you get a handle on this,

you're seizure-free
for six months,

you get your
driver's license back,

you are cleared to work.

- I am cleared
for my driver's license.

- You shouldn't be driving
at all like this.

If you were a patient,
we would have to report you.

- I am not
your fucking patient.

- No, but I cannot let you work

in my emergency department

until you're fully capable
of doing so.

- That is not
your fucking call!

- You're fucking-A right,
that's my call!

I'm trying to protect you
and my patients,

and you know I'm right
about this.

- Oh, "my department,"
"my patients."

All you fucking think about
is yourself!

Do you hear yourself?

You didn't rat out Langdon

for stealing fucking drugs.

- No, but I kicked him
out of this department

until he got the appropriate
help that he needs,

and the same goes for you.

You've got until Monday

No, not a chance.

Why, are you having
second thoughts?

- Nope.
- No?

- Nope.

- Don't have to convince me.

I mean, it is a little strange
the only place

you talked about going
is somewhere

they used to drive buffalo
off a cliff to die.

- Here it comes.
- I looked it up,

and as far
as summer vacations go,

it's not exactly
a holiday hotspot.

I mean, what's in
the fucking gift shop, man?

- It's just one place
I'm going.

- As long as it's not the last.

Don't be pulling a "Thelma

a three-month vacation.

When's the last time
you took any time off, Jack?

- Yeah, but I've dealt
with my demons.

It's a process.

I never killed myself?

After what I saw,
lived through?

Losing my leg, losing my wife?

Because it comes
for all of us, man.

succumb to it.

I've ever done in my life

have been in this hospital.

Nothing will ever matter more
than what I've done

in this hospital,
but it is killing me.

that a part of you dies

when you lose someone you love?

I'm not convinced that
a part of you doesn't die

every time you see
a fellow human pass.

And I've seen
so many people die

that I feel like it's leaching
something from my soul.

- Go on a cruise, man.

Knock off this
helmetless motorcycle shit.

Yeah, people talk.

That's death-wish behavior.

- I'm tired of being
a role model.

I'm tired of feeling
like you can't get ahead.

I'm tired of feeling
like I'm drowning every day.

I'm tired of all of it.

- You need to get away
for a while,

and you need to get some help.

You need this place
as much as it needs you.

- [breathes deeply]

Am I fucked up?

- 100%.

But nobody works here
as long as you and me

and doesn't get screwed up.

You--you gotta find somebody

to help you dance
through the darkness.
