I’m taking over the biker.

What about me?

There’s a guy brawling downstairs.

All yours.

Go on.

ER

Here’s a referral for spinal MRI.

The MRI is right there, so what’s the bloody problem?

Like I told you: this is not a clinic, this is ER. We do not accept referrals.

And I have an emergency. I should be on air in an hour.

I can’t be writhing in pain in front of millions of viewers.

You should wait your turn!

Please be quiet. You are fine and I’m in pain.

Control yourself, pal, or your viewers don’t recognize you.

Please come through for triage.

I don’t need triage, I need an MRI.

And something for the pain.

Go through for triage or leave.

I’m a TV anchor.

I’ll make sure everyone knows if you won’t admit me.

All right.

Who’s next then?

Wait a minute, okay.

Which way for this triage?

Through there.

ER has a new sheriff then!

- Morning. - Sorry, didn’t know someone was here.

I’m done already.

Please have a seat.

And if you could just wait outside for a moment.

- What’s wrong with her? - Nothing urgent.

She felt faint in her own garden, but managed to get a cab,

sat down for a while and is fine.

Run the tests.

Right, but we have more urgent cases.

I’m gonna examine you now.

Biomechanics are stable.

No vertebral rotations, no twists.

You’ll say I’m fine in a second.

I’m just saying this is not spinal pain.

Your arm. Is it numb?

No, must have slept on it.

Okay, this requires extended diagnostics.

Wojtek, yellow zone.

- Sure. - There you go.

Here we go.

Andrzej, the helicopter brought in the biker!

BP 70 over 40, saturation at 90, likely internal bleeding!

Guys, let’s move him on three!

One, two, three!

- His vitals? - Saturation at 86 and dropping.

- BP undetectable. - Easy Rider is going into shock.

Kasia, signs of trauma?

- Rigid abdomen. - Now we’re talking.

Central line, gasometry, crossmatching,

blood type, coagulation and CBC.

Ola, fast ultrasound, please.

Where’s the anesthesia?

- He’s here. - Take him over.

Just in time for resuscitation.

Long time no see!

Stop it! Intubate him.

So much fluid in the peritoneum.

What’s up?

The cannula’s stuck, not enough blood flow.

- Hurry. - Ola, I’ll take him over.

Too much swelling.

Come on, Basia. Rafcio needs the central line.

- Intraosseous access. - Great job, Kasia.

Give him gel,

vasoconstrictors in a pump and tranexamic acid.

- Taking over. - Close the red one.

And now the violet one. Gasometry.

Patient intubated, medicated, should be stabilized soon.

Kasia, do something about your eye.

Came here for MRI and you’re doing ECG?

What is this torture?

At least give me some tramadol for my back.

If you’re having a heart attack, opioids are a bad idea.

I’m calling my friend.

He’s a professor of cardiology and will show you.

Sorry, thought it was free.

Wojtek, finish here.

Krzysztof?

Right.

You’re on your way?

Great.

Come on, say it. “Told you so”.

Need help?

Come on.

Let me see.

Look up here.

Cornea seems fine.

This should do it.

Careful.

Wait, wait, wait. Just a moment.

I feel like a king!

Can I take you for a ride, doctor?

You’re still with this guy?

We need this station.

Whoa, whoa!

Thanks.

Watch out! Sorry.

Please show me.

Massive tachycardia, he’ll go into arrest soon.

And we’ll run out of blood.

Growing amount of fluid between intestinal loops.

He should be in OR.

Won’t make to the elevator like that.

He got crytalloids in the ambulance. And here four units of blood,

gel, oxygen, bicarbonates and an adrenaline infusion.

Then why is he still bleeding?

I’ll check if he’s wife here yet.

Might be the last chance to say goodbye.

Rafcio!

Let’s give him a hundred milligrams of hydrocortisone. Stat!

Andrzej?

You think so, Kasia?

We don’t really know if he had liability insurance... so go on.

We ran an EKG.

We don’t know yet.

Going back to the patient, bye.

And here’s my friend.

- It’s the professor. - Professor Zawadzki, I know.

You don’t say.

A doctor.

You have my patient’s EKG in your hand, so yes, a doctor.

Everything’s fine.

Give him tramadol.

Where’s the tramadol?

- Is the troponin test back? - No, not yet.

Don’t worry, Grześ, you’ll be fine. You’ll get your MRI.

And you bring me a decision maker.

I happen to be a decision maker here.

Wojtek, repeat the EKG, with electrodes on his back.

And you, professor, happen to be a visitor here.

Go the waiting room.

I’d rather wait here, doctor.

They brought in a woman in a coma. They need a consultation.

Of course.

Professor!

- Hello! - Good morning.

My name is Aleksandra Juźwiak and I’d love to specialize in cardiology.

Make your dreams come true

and run an inverted EKG with Wojtek.

I’ll gladly watch.

Send me your CV.

- Here’s my card. - I’ll definitely send it.

Just need to go to my patient now. But I’ll send it. Thank you!

Could you lie on your stomach, please?

Little hero, called an ambulance for his mom.

Really? Good job!

Sugar over 400 and I can smell acetone.

Hyperglycemic coma?

Is your mom diabetic by any chance?

Yes?

Ola, can you hook up an insulin pump?

Of course.

And this uncle will take you for a walk.

I want to stay with mommy!

Even superheroes need to rest sometimes.

Your mom’s in good hands. Go on.

Come on, superhero.

Careful.

How’s your leg?

Come on.

Kids. A complication from something as cool as sex.

We should avoid such complications.

You get me.

- We make sense. - Run her gasometry,

check potassium and sodium levels.

BP 90 over 60, pulse at 120.

Hemoglobin at 10, bleeding’s subsiding.

He’s stabilizing.

Okay, Kasia, explain.

I once failed an exam because of Addison’s disease.

Right, hypopituitarism.

Pituitary gland releases ACTH,

causing the production of cortisol by the adrenal glands.

And cortisol controls vascular tension.

That’s why we couldn’t stop the bleeding.

Correct.

So great that you happened to know about Addison’s.

Perfect timing, really.

Gentlemen!

Get him to OR!

Careful.

- Why do you keep doing this? - The patient’s wife.

- We’re off to OR. - Save him, please!

Has he had accidents before?

All the time. Damaged his brain five years ago.

Was he left with any neurological conditions?

- Hypo-something. - Hypopituitarism.

Exactly!

I’ll take you to your husband.

Secondary Addison’s disease.

Great job, Kasia.

He would be walking towards the light if it wasn’t for you.

Kasia!

Could I have a moment?

Hi, dad.

Let me just cancel a blood delivery.

- Hi, Krzysztof. - Hi.

- Parental inspection? - No.

Waiting for my patient’s EKG results.

You know that Hajduk served time?

I know he’s a decent doctor.

Decent, eh?

He’s been checking the heart of a patient with spinal pain.

Go on, have a laugh.

So, do you see a heart attack here?

A massive posterior myocardial infarction.

How are you feeling?

So is it a heart attack or not?

Troponins over 200 already in the first hour.

I knew this would happen, Grześ.

Good thing you did the inverted EKG.

Listened to your superiors.

Piotr, please call cardiology.

Tell them we have another coronary angiogram patient.

- It’s urgent. - Of course.

Glad I could help.

I’m leaving you in good hands, Grześ.

Bye!

Dad, wait.

What was that?

- You didn’t tell me about him. - It’s none of your business.

Will you just leave this job?

You can specialize in cardiology in my clinic.

- I’m not a kid. Stop managing me! - Leave me alone!

Kasia?

Way to go! Stand up to old farts!

Bravo!

Watch out or I’ll stitch your tongue to your palate, Benek.

Hi, my name is Piotr Hajduk. How are you feeling?

Where’s Lucek, my son? He can’t be left home alone.

Relax. You went into a coma and your son saved you.

He’s safe here, don’t worry.

- What type of diabetes is this? - Type one.

I think I forgot to take my insulin.

It’s been a crazy day.

Sodium and potassium at normal levels, but you should have an insulin pump.

I can’t afford it.

- Do you live alone? - No, with my partner.

Excellent.

He can’t pick up the kid and you’ll stay here, for some tests.

No, I have to go home!

I’ll ask to be discharged.

I’ll call Marian to come and pick us up.

I’ll tell the boss then.

Relax. We won’t keep you against your will.

- I’ll get your son and we’ll decide. - Okay.

This might take a while.

Basia, have you seen the boy?

He was sitting here a second ago.

I don’t know. Piotr, don’t worry about Zawadzki.

Your diagnosis was correct.

- Congratulations! - Thank you, Basia.

I’ll go and look for him.

Right.

Hungry?

The power bars are very cool.

Power bars?

Are you into sports?

Yes, I play soccer. Offense.

Then you have to be superfast.

- Show me your dribbling. - Okay.

What’s up?

Does your leg hurt?

No, I just walk funny these days.

Funny? Let me have look.

No need. It will pass.

Right.

So, a chocolate bar?

My mom won’t buy them. Uncle says they cost too much.

I have an idea then.

This will be our little secret.

I’ll get you the bar.

You’ll have it and let me examine you.

- Okay? - Okay.

All right.

Chocolate bar for you, sir.

Unpack it and let’s go.

Careful, careful.

Come on.

Now the other leg.

Hi.

I’m Kasia.

Marian is coming.

Where’s Lucek?

I’d like to talk to you before he comes.

I’m not staying here, no way.

This isn’t about you, madam.

I wanted to ask about Lucek’s drop foot.

It’s nothing. Minor developmental defect.

Right. Says who?

Our GP.

Said he should wear shoe inserts. It will pass.

I think it’s more serious than that.

Oh my God!

We’ll transfer you to a pediatric hospital.

Lucek needs a head CT.

Can’t you do it here?

It’s all in the chart. Good luck.

They were kissing.

Who?

Zawadzka and newbie.

Ola!

Do you know something?

- What? No, I know nothing! - I’m telling you!

They were an item once.

Ola?

Need something to do?

No, boss. We were just discussing... diffusion of body fluids.

I’m touched.

And the waiting room’s full. Go on.

Of course.

- He needs an MRI. - I know.

I talked to his mom. We’ll do it here.

He has to go to the pediatric hospital.

I’ll ask radiology.

Something I should know?

I’ll sort it out. Come on, champ!

Marzena Wieczorek, brought in with a kid.

Came to pick them up.

- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Finally!

Can you hear me? Is Marzena Wieczorek here?

What a ride!

Tap away, lady. I don’t have all night.

Here we go.

Is she here or not? Wieczorek.

- Tell me. - Please calm down.

Lie down here.

I’ll run an EKG. It’s standard practice.

- Hello! - Hello.

Marian, right?

Since the day I was born.

Come with me.

Happy to do it.

Your son’s a bright kid.

He’s not mine.

He didn’t lose his nerve. Called for an ambulance.

I did teach him something.

Hey.

Hey. Did you move the patient to cardiology?

He was a real pain. And then Zawadzki arrived.

Double impact.

There you are.

What’s up?

I missed a dose. If it wasn’t for Lucek...

I know. Let’s go.

Did you drink anything today?

Coffee. In the morning.

- And then you went into the sunlight? - Yes, to my garden.

You’re highly dehydrated. We’ll get a nurse in a second.

I’ll get the line in.

NaCL, followed by electrolytes.

- Is this okay? - Go on.

EKG seems fine to me. Other parameters too.

But I’ll show it to the boss.

I did it!

Zuza, did you see? In one go!

Once the drips run out you should be able to go home.

I’ll stay a while longer.

In case of tachycardia.

The nurses will watch the patient.

Just for a minute. It will help us both.

Okay...

Mom, I went into this cool giant wheel!

- Wow! - Give me a hug, little hero!

How was it?

Your son recently suffered a mini-stroke, hence the drop foot.

This is not developmental.

He needs to go to pediatric hospital.

We need to know why.

A stroke is theoretically possible at his age, but extremely rare.

Maybe it’s this soccer they keep falling there.

Only he can’t go home yet.

It’s too risky.

We’ll have him discharged.

Are you his legal guardian?

Then please wait outside.

Come on, champ. One more test, okay?

Go on, baby.

- He’s not here. - Basia!

Yes?

Could you assist me?

Of course. Come on!

Wait a minute!

You can sit comfortably, right there.

Just looking for the toilet.

Then I scored with an overhead kick.

Do you know what it is?

I’ve heard stories.

Show me.

Okay...

Excuse me...

Nothing, other than the bruises on his legs.

Do you pull your ears in training? Why is yours like that?

Was it one of your friends?

Or was it Marian?

Don’t be scared.

He’s not here.

Why did he pull it?

I ate a sausage and he wanted it with his beer.

Did he hit you on the head?

Not with his fist. He was sleeping and I was too loud.

Basia, I wanted you to witness this.

I’ll make a call and you’ll stay with auntie here.

- Calling in the cops. - Are we done here?

Piotrek!

Hello, Piotr Hajduk from the clinical hospital ER.

- I’d like to report domestic violence. - What is this nonsense?

The mother’s partner is beating a seven-year-old. Head trauma.

Yes.

Cardiac arrest!

Help!

I’m sorry.

- Pervert! - What’s going on?

I’m very sorry.

I was just lying peacefully and he grabbed my breasts.

I...

I thought...

I must have nodded off. The alarm went off.

Asystole, but the patient looks very much alive.

You pulled out the wire, genius.

We’re so sorry. You’re fine.

Check the monitor before starting CPR.

I’m really sorry. I thought you were dying.

- How do you do this, Wojtek? - I don’t know.

So sorry!

Yes, thank you.

So what now?

We have nowhere to go.

First you’ll go to the hospital with Lucek.

Mommy!

And then?

I know how you feel.

We work with a Foundation, they’ll provide legal assistance.

I’ll give them a call.

You can stay in the women’s shelter.

We won’t leave you alone.

Thank you.

Guys, the transport ambulance is here.

So?

Bartek, will you take the boy?

Sure. Come on, big guy!

Can’t stay out of trouble?

And your father’s still charming.

Not much has changed, right?

And have you changed?

I didn’t hit him in the face.

- Yay, you. - Yay, me.

Where are we going?

9 YEARS AGO

To get Jacek.

Not again! Come on!

How many times? He’s my brother!

Let’s just go, please.

Stay in the car, lock the doors, I’ll be back in a second.

Jacek!

Jacek!

No mercy!

- Kaśka, you’re here! - Open the door!

Help him!

- I’m only learning! - He’ll bleed to death!

Move!

No!

Motherfuckers!

What the fuck is this?

So much fun!
