10
00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:17,869
- Happy holidays, Mrs. Johnson.
11
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:20,830
Or are you more of
a "Merry Christmas" gal?
12
00:01:20,872 --> 00:01:22,040
I need to make sure
13
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:24,334
you're getting
the right blend of tequila.
14
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:28,004
My name is Dr. Randall Kirby.
15
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:29,964
I'm here because your doctor
16
00:01:30,006 --> 00:01:33,343
with the warm and fuzzy bedside
manner couldn't make it.
17
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:40,350
Your husband, Tom, tells me
that you're a fighter, so...
18
00:01:40,392 --> 00:01:42,852
if it's okay with you,
I'm just gonna let her rip.
19
00:01:48,024 --> 00:01:51,403
You came in for a cervical
surgery with Dr. Duntsch
20
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:53,863
a few days ago to remove a disc.
21
00:01:53,905 --> 00:01:56,241
Do you remember that?
22
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:57,867
Do you remember going home,
23
00:01:57,909 --> 00:01:59,911
telling your husband
that you couldn't swallow,
24
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:01,705
and then you got a fever?
25
00:02:03,498 --> 00:02:06,209
Well, you called Dr. Duntsch,
26
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:09,212
who told you
that everything was normal
27
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:12,340
and that your fever
was from the flu.
28
00:02:12,382 --> 00:02:15,176
Then he stopped
taking your calls.
29
00:02:18,096 --> 00:02:20,348
Your fever wasn't from the flu.
30
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:24,644
It was from an infection
moving towards your heart.
31
00:02:24,686 --> 00:02:26,980
Now, we've had that
PICC line pumping antibiotics
32
00:02:27,022 --> 00:02:30,400
into your superior vena cava
since you got here.
33
00:02:30,442 --> 00:02:32,652
You've turned a corner,
but now we need to deal
34
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:35,864
with the other issues
from Dr. Duntsch's surgery.
35
00:02:35,905 --> 00:02:38,992
That crazy straw
coming out of your nose
36
00:02:39,034 --> 00:02:40,577
is draining stomach acid
37
00:02:40,618 --> 00:02:44,330
from a hole Duntsch cut
in your esophagus.
38
00:02:44,372 --> 00:02:47,500
That's why you couldn't swallow.
39
00:02:47,542 --> 00:02:51,463
As for the surgery Duntsch
was supposed to perform,
40
00:02:51,504 --> 00:02:53,506
he failed to remove the disc.
41
00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:56,843
He left it lodged in your spine.
42
00:02:56,885 --> 00:03:01,056
The hardware he was supposed
to attach
43
00:03:01,097 --> 00:03:04,434
scattered in there like a bag
of leftover screws
44
00:03:04,476 --> 00:03:06,644
from an IKEA bookshelf.
45
00:03:14,652 --> 00:03:18,281
He sliced through a nerve
to your vocal cord.
46
00:03:22,118 --> 00:03:24,037
We can't fix that.
47
00:03:29,793 --> 00:03:32,045
This never should have happened.
48
00:03:42,347 --> 00:03:47,268
I apologize to you
and to your family.
49
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:54,484
I promise I will make sure this
never happens to anyone else.
50
00:03:56,653 --> 00:04:00,657
Um, om wanted me to discuss
a family matter with you.
51
00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:03,928
Your children are in town
for the holidays,
52
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:05,787
and you don't want
them to visit.
53
00:04:05,829 --> 00:04:09,207
He's hoping that you would
change your mind about that.
54
00:04:22,012 --> 00:04:24,472
I'll fend them off
if you provide the stick.
55
00:04:28,143 --> 00:04:30,103
I'm so sorry.
56
00:04:46,161 --> 00:04:47,954
Hey, thanks for coming.
57
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:51,750
It's, uh, nice to show a united
front with these jackasses.
58
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:55,128
Ah...
59
00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:57,964
- Dr. Kirby.
- Dr. Lockett.
60
00:04:58,006 --> 00:05:00,550
He's the CEO here.
This is Dr. Robert Henderson.
61
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:03,261
He's my crime-fighting
partner in crime.
62
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:05,347
- Yeah, uh...
63
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:08,350
would you follow me, please?
64
00:05:16,858 --> 00:05:19,694
Duntsch never operates
here again.
65
00:05:19,736 --> 00:05:21,422
- Well, I guess we can call it
a night, then.
66
00:05:21,446 --> 00:05:23,281
No harm, no foul.
67
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,825
- How did you come to hire him?
68
00:05:25,867 --> 00:05:28,620
- We needed a neurosurgeon
on staff
69
00:05:28,661 --> 00:05:31,331
and performed all due diligence.
70
00:05:31,373 --> 00:05:32,850
- You just missed
that teeny-tiny detail
71
00:05:32,874 --> 00:05:34,668
about the two dead bodies
at Dallas Medical
72
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:36,103
and Baylor-Plano,
but who's counting?
73
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:38,004
- We inquired with
the Texas Medical Board.
74
00:05:38,046 --> 00:05:40,006
We checked the National
Practitioners Data Bank...
75
00:05:40,048 --> 00:05:41,049
- Continue.
76
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:43,426
- To see if he was ever
suspended.
77
00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:45,261
He wasn't, no complaints.
78
00:05:45,303 --> 00:05:48,890
- So neither Baylor-Plano nor
Dallas Medical reported him?
79
00:05:48,932 --> 00:05:50,266
- No.
80
00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:52,203
Look, had we known,
we never would have hired him,
81
00:05:52,227 --> 00:05:53,728
plain and simple.
82
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:56,606
He even came with
a clean letter from Baylor.
83
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:02,737
- "All investigations
with respect to any areas
84
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:05,031
"of concern regarding
Christopher D. Duntsch, M.D.
85
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:06,991
"have been closed.
86
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:09,035
"As of this date,
there have been no summary
87
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:10,846
"or administrative restrictions
or suspensions
88
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:12,872
"of Dr. Duntsch's
medical staff membership
89
00:06:12,914 --> 00:06:14,374
"or clinical privileges
90
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:15,959
"during the time
he has practiced
91
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:19,754
at Baylor Medical Center
at Plano."
92
00:06:19,796 --> 00:06:23,675
- Dr. Henderson, tell me...
93
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,219
you're in my position.
94
00:06:26,261 --> 00:06:28,471
What would you have done?
95
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,436
- They warned 'em...
96
00:06:34,477 --> 00:06:37,230
this nurse, Preston's her name,
she and some other somebody.
97
00:06:37,272 --> 00:06:38,565
- Who?
- I don't know.
98
00:06:38,606 --> 00:06:39,941
A scrub tech. It doesn't matter.
99
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:41,743
They warned the administration
about Duntsch.
100
00:06:41,776 --> 00:06:42,920
They looked him up
on the Internet.
101
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:44,296
They found a ton of crap
about him.
102
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,405
I'm not talking good crap.
103
00:06:45,447 --> 00:06:46,757
I'm talking he's
a crappy surgeon.
104
00:06:46,781 --> 00:06:48,199
- I get it.
- Here's the kicker.
105
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:49,367
When they went to show them
106
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:51,161
what was on the Internet,
it was all gone.
107
00:06:51,202 --> 00:06:53,621
Everything negative about him,
completely wiped way.
108
00:06:53,663 --> 00:06:55,165
- Well, how does
somebody do that?
109
00:06:55,206 --> 00:06:57,435
- I don't know... hacking's not
really my area of expertise.
110
00:06:57,459 --> 00:07:00,420
The point is they warned them,
and they blew it off.
111
00:07:00,462 --> 00:07:01,755
Due diligence.
112
00:07:01,796 --> 00:07:03,548
We're up against
a citadel of bullshit here.
113
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:05,133
Most ass-covering...
114
00:07:05,175 --> 00:07:07,927
In fact, I should use this
to wipe my ass.
115
00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:08,928
Definitely...
116
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:10,305
- Written by lawyers.
- Yeah.
117
00:07:10,347 --> 00:07:12,599
- Are we completing
each other's sentences now?
118
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,602
- Ah...
119
00:07:15,643 --> 00:07:19,773
I'm going to see Amy Piel
over at Baylor.
120
00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:23,318
- You give me a ride?
- Jag's right this way.
121
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:59,646
- So?
122
00:07:59,688 --> 00:08:02,107
- They're gonna grant me
privileges to operate.
123
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:05,902
- They're gonna grant,
or they have granted?
124
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:07,987
They are going
to grant me privileges
125
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:10,740
when they see
my roster of patients.
126
00:08:13,034 --> 00:08:16,496
Don't... It's...
127
00:08:16,538 --> 00:08:18,498
It's not a big deal, Wendy.
128
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:20,291
I have a ton of patients.
129
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:22,794
All I got to do
is make a couple calls.
130
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:24,480
- Well, that place looks like
a Port-a-Potty.
131
00:08:24,504 --> 00:08:25,672
Not like Baylor.
132
00:08:25,714 --> 00:08:27,841
- Fuck Baylor.
- Yeah, fuck Baylor.
133
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:29,426
Fuck Dallas Medical.
134
00:08:29,467 --> 00:08:31,052
Fuck whatever that last one was,
135
00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:34,848
that Legacy Frisco place you
were at for, like, two weeks.
136
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:36,391
It's been quite
the fucking year.
137
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:38,935
- Can you just drive me
to my clinic, please?
138
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:44,941
- Where does it end, Chris?
- Oh, my God.
139
00:08:44,983 --> 00:08:47,986
Wendy, I'm handling it, okay?
140
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:49,738
You left me, remember that?
141
00:08:49,779 --> 00:08:51,531
- I don't feel sorry for you.
142
00:08:51,573 --> 00:08:53,199
Why don't you go
fuck your nurse again?
143
00:08:53,241 --> 00:08:55,326
Maybe she'll make you
feel better.
144
00:08:56,745 --> 00:08:58,580
- I'm driving
your sorry ass around,
145
00:08:58,621 --> 00:09:02,792
not because I trust you
or because I'm here for you...
146
00:09:02,834 --> 00:09:05,128
but because I can't let you
mess things up for him.
147
00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:37,077
- Can I come by this weekend?
148
00:09:37,118 --> 00:09:39,662
- Why don't you make a call
to your roster of patients?
149
00:09:39,704 --> 00:09:41,539
Then we'll talk.
150
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:03,687
- It's from my dad.
151
00:10:36,845 --> 00:10:38,805
- Mrs. Demmings.
152
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:41,349
How's that Scheuermann's
kyphosis coming along?
153
00:10:41,391 --> 00:10:44,060
Is the tingling in your legs
pretty consistent?
154
00:10:44,102 --> 00:10:46,813
- I can't stand long enough
to hold my grandbabies now.
155
00:10:46,855 --> 00:10:48,898
- And it started in your teens?
156
00:10:48,940 --> 00:10:51,192
- Had no pain
until two years ago.
157
00:10:53,445 --> 00:10:57,240
- The problem is these
two vertebrae right here...
158
00:10:57,282 --> 00:10:58,575
T7 and T8.
159
00:10:58,616 --> 00:11:00,952
- The ones sticking out.
- Exactly right.
160
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,954
It's actually the discs
in between them.
161
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:05,457
Spinal discs are like
natural shock absorbers,
162
00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:06,875
and when they're healthy,
163
00:11:06,916 --> 00:11:08,877
they kind of have
the consistency of rubber.
164
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:11,004
But when they get diseased,
they harden,
165
00:11:11,046 --> 00:11:12,797
and these two are pushing
166
00:11:12,839 --> 00:11:15,467
those vertebrae
right into your spinal cord.
167
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:18,636
- Every doctor I see said
there's nothing they can do.
168
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:20,722
- Well, you haven't seen me yet.
169
00:11:22,349 --> 00:11:24,809
- What are you saying?
170
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:28,188
- Well, your preexisting
kyphosis is an issue,
171
00:11:28,229 --> 00:11:30,065
- but there are new ways...
- Surgery.
172
00:11:30,106 --> 00:11:32,776
- It's minimally invasive.
173
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:34,944
A thoracoscopic anterior
spinal fusion.
174
00:11:34,986 --> 00:11:38,114
We make a small incision,
about the size of a dime.
175
00:11:38,156 --> 00:11:39,991
We go in there
and pull out the bad discs,
176
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:42,243
and then we fuse the vertebrae
together with a plate.
177
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:44,496
And that's it.
178
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:45,747
- One surgery?
179
00:11:45,789 --> 00:11:47,832
- In and out in about two hours.
180
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:49,793
You wake up... no pain,
no tingling,
181
00:11:49,834 --> 00:11:51,228
and you're about
a good inch taller.
182
00:11:51,252 --> 00:11:53,421
It... it straightens out
the curvature of the spine.
183
00:11:53,463 --> 00:11:55,423
So the bad news is, you're
gonna have to bend down
184
00:11:55,465 --> 00:11:57,109
a little bit lower
to pick up those grandbabies.
185
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:58,885
- Can I have a word with you?
186
00:12:03,431 --> 00:12:05,076
I get that you're
the golden boy around here,
187
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,685
but you're a resident.
188
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:08,687
These are not
your patients, yet.
189
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:10,897
- I'm just presenting her
her options.
190
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:12,315
- You gave her a fantasy.
191
00:12:12,357 --> 00:12:14,401
With her kyphosis,
she's not a candidate.
192
00:12:14,442 --> 00:12:17,195
Raising her hopes
is unethical and cruel.
193
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:21,700
- I spent all night
researching this.
194
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:23,702
- You diagnosed her off
of Google?
195
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,036
- Just look at it.
196
00:12:25,078 --> 00:12:27,455
It's a case from NYU...
worse than hers.
197
00:12:29,499 --> 00:12:30,792
I can show you how to do it.
198
00:12:30,834 --> 00:12:32,168
Just look.
199
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:36,047
Look, all anterior
decompressing arthrodesis.
200
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:38,049
- See the end plate?
- Mm-hmm.
201
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:41,553
- See the retractor?
- You see the angle?
202
00:12:49,561 --> 00:12:52,439
- When the presenting symptoms
are pain,
203
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,443
decreased mobility, headaches,
and speech dysphasia,
204
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:58,903
what would your differential
diagnosis include?
205
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:01,531
- Cervical stenosis?
206
00:13:01,573 --> 00:13:03,199
- Are you asking or stating?
207
00:13:03,241 --> 00:13:04,951
Either way, it's incorrect.
208
00:13:04,993 --> 00:13:08,079
Eventually...
you'll want to decide
209
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:10,081
if you're Semmes-Murphey fellows
210
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:12,125
or Semmes-Murphey dropouts.
211
00:13:12,167 --> 00:13:14,627
- Dr. Skadden? Excuse me.
- Christopher, yes.
212
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:16,629
- Uh, um, I was...
213
00:13:16,671 --> 00:13:19,174
- Wondering if I'd read
your proposal on obtaining
214
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:21,551
and culturing disc stem cells?
215
00:13:21,593 --> 00:13:23,094
- Yes.
216
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,055
- Eliminates the need
for extraction.
217
00:13:25,096 --> 00:13:27,599
Tons of potential.
218
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,309
I'd love to read more,
219
00:13:29,351 --> 00:13:31,191
once you've fleshed out
the research you cited.
220
00:13:31,227 --> 00:13:34,814
- Of course. Yes, sir.
- Thank you, Dr. Skadden.
221
00:13:34,856 --> 00:13:36,816
Chiari malformation.
222
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,569
Speech dysphasia.
223
00:13:39,611 --> 00:13:42,238
It's likely related to pressure
on the cerebellum.
224
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,366
That would be my diagnosis.
225
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:47,970
I'd really like to be considered
226
00:13:47,994 --> 00:13:49,274
for your
fellowship program, sir.
227
00:13:52,374 --> 00:13:55,627
If and when the time is
right, Christopher.
228
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:12,435
- Kayla, Kayla,
hey, I got great news.
229
00:14:12,477 --> 00:14:16,189
Skadden read my proposal.
230
00:14:16,231 --> 00:14:18,233
- Where are you going?
- Don't worry about it.
231
00:14:20,694 --> 00:14:21,986
- Wait, are you leaving?
232
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:24,072
- Don't play fucking dumb
with me, Christopher.
233
00:14:24,114 --> 00:14:26,950
Oxy, Adderall... it's like
a C-V-fucking-S in there,
234
00:14:26,991 --> 00:14:28,010
and your name's all over it.
235
00:14:28,034 --> 00:14:29,661
- The scrips?
- Scrips.
236
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:30,995
- They're for friends.
237
00:14:31,037 --> 00:14:32,431
They're all friends in there.
It's no big deal.
238
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:34,165
- Okay, well enjoy your friends.
239
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:35,583
And whatever's left
of your career,
240
00:14:35,625 --> 00:14:38,044
you stupid son of a bitch.
241
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,595
- Oh, this man's a hero.
242
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:49,806
Partied us under the table
last night,
243
00:14:49,848 --> 00:14:51,224
then did his rounds,
244
00:14:51,266 --> 00:14:54,602
saving lives
like Mother-fucking-Theresa.
245
00:14:56,312 --> 00:14:58,690
- What the fuck happened
with Kayla?
246
00:14:58,732 --> 00:14:59,983
- Kayla's cool.
247
00:15:00,025 --> 00:15:01,419
Give her the night,
she'll calm down.
248
00:15:01,443 --> 00:15:04,070
And if she does dump your
dumb face, I'll talk to her,
249
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:06,740
take care of everything,
like always.
250
00:15:06,781 --> 00:15:08,533
You'd lose your big, ugly head
251
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:11,369
if I didn't tighten the screws
every morning, wouldn't you?
252
00:15:12,495 --> 00:15:14,789
- I'm the one
with the big, ugly head?
253
00:15:14,831 --> 00:15:16,124
- Yeah.
254
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:19,210
Oh!
255
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:21,046
Duntsch on the offensive.
256
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:24,174
Trying to reverse Summers
with a Granby roll.
257
00:15:24,215 --> 00:15:26,051
But Summers dominates.
258
00:15:26,092 --> 00:15:29,346
Oh, he dominates.
He dominates so hard.
259
00:15:29,387 --> 00:15:32,974
Uncle! Uncle, uncle!
260
00:15:33,016 --> 00:15:34,976
Shit.
261
00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:41,483
Hey, Skadden said
he'd take a look at that.
262
00:15:41,524 --> 00:15:43,735
You just got to come on down,
and we'll do some imaging.
263
00:15:43,777 --> 00:15:44,986
Get you fixed up.
264
00:15:52,869 --> 00:15:55,413
Whew.
265
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:56,831
I got to work.
266
00:16:10,136 --> 00:16:12,347
Have you seen my LSD blotter?
267
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:21,147
How many hits did you take?
268
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:25,694
Oh, I must be
tripping hard, bro.
269
00:16:25,735 --> 00:16:27,612
The letters
are all squiggly and shit.
270
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:30,198
- No, it's Cyrillic.
- It's psychedelic.
271
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,409
Oh, stem cells.
272
00:16:32,450 --> 00:16:34,619
Is this for your PhD,
Dr. Doctor?
273
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:36,955
"Glioblastoma's
the most prevalent
274
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:38,915
malignant brain tumor."
275
00:16:38,957 --> 00:16:41,459
That's harsh.
276
00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:43,753
- The glioblastoma stem
is so dominant
277
00:16:43,795 --> 00:16:46,589
that it takes normal cells,
278
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:49,259
and it changes them
into cancer cells.
279
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:51,302
- It dominates.
- It dominates hard.
280
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:53,096
- And everybody's trying
to figure out
281
00:16:53,138 --> 00:16:54,723
how to stop glioblastoma.
282
00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:56,683
But what if...
283
00:16:56,725 --> 00:17:00,603
you could just program it
to make healthy cells?
284
00:17:00,645 --> 00:17:03,398
- Then it... it wouldn't be
cancer anymore.
285
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,233
- Right.
286
00:17:05,275 --> 00:17:07,402
Exactly right.
287
00:17:07,444 --> 00:17:09,696
It can be whatever you want.
288
00:17:09,738 --> 00:17:13,116
A cell that takes over
another cell
289
00:17:13,158 --> 00:17:15,201
to make something good.
290
00:17:15,243 --> 00:17:18,621
- A molecular biological
Granby roll.
291
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:21,374
- Yes. Yes. Yes.
292
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:24,627
Stem cells you inject
directly into a diseased disc,
293
00:17:24,669 --> 00:17:27,505
making a brand-new
healthy baby spine.
294
00:17:27,547 --> 00:17:29,966
- Preach.
- 50% of all spinal surgeries
295
00:17:30,008 --> 00:17:31,551
are to repair diseased discs.
296
00:17:31,593 --> 00:17:34,262
- We're talking about a startup.
- You're Dock Ellis.
297
00:17:34,304 --> 00:17:37,515
You're pitching a no-hitter.
You're crushing it.
298
00:17:37,557 --> 00:17:38,850
I can be your guinea pig.
299
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:40,060
- What?
300
00:17:40,101 --> 00:17:41,370
- Inject that shit into my neck,
301
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:44,314
so I can grow a new baby neck
with no pain.
302
00:17:44,356 --> 00:17:46,649
Pain's a pain, bro.
303
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:55,992
That could be your slogan.
304
00:18:57,762 --> 00:18:59,931
Fuck.
305
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:05,265
Fuck!
306
00:22:19,422 --> 00:22:21,216
Shit.
307
00:22:52,330 --> 00:22:53,373
- Bob.
- Hello.
308
00:22:53,415 --> 00:22:55,458
- What a surprise.
- Hey, Amy.
309
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:58,253
- Afternoon, Randy.
310
00:22:58,294 --> 00:23:00,714
So how can I help you?
311
00:23:02,007 --> 00:23:05,510
- Christopher Duntsch.
- Oh, boy.
312
00:23:05,552 --> 00:23:08,471
Well, that about sums it up.
313
00:23:08,513 --> 00:23:09,723
- He operated on a patient
314
00:23:09,764 --> 00:23:12,142
at Legacy Frisco a few days ago.
315
00:23:12,183 --> 00:23:13,810
- He left a hole
in her esophagus,
316
00:23:13,852 --> 00:23:15,687
sliced through her vocal cord.
317
00:23:17,689 --> 00:23:20,692
- We parted ways with
Dr. Duntsch almost a year ago.
318
00:23:20,734 --> 00:23:23,486
- Well, what can you tell us
about this reference
319
00:23:23,528 --> 00:23:25,071
that you wrote for Dr. Duntsch?
320
00:23:25,113 --> 00:23:26,573
- I didn't write anything.
321
00:23:26,614 --> 00:23:28,414
- Well, whatever law firm
you paid to write...
322
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:29,760
- And it isn't
a reference letter.
323
00:23:29,784 --> 00:23:31,470
It's a letter stating there
were no restrictions
324
00:23:31,494 --> 00:23:32,996
or suspensions
of his privileges.
325
00:23:33,038 --> 00:23:35,123
- But it implies that there's
nothing in this record
326
00:23:35,165 --> 00:23:37,625
to preclude him from working
at other hospitals.
327
00:23:37,667 --> 00:23:39,169
He... he maimed people here.
328
00:23:39,210 --> 00:23:40,920
He killed Shelley Brennan
329
00:23:40,962 --> 00:23:43,131
by drilling
through her vertebral artery.
330
00:23:43,173 --> 00:23:45,675
- He also did that to another
patient at Dallas Medical.
331
00:23:45,717 --> 00:23:47,510
- Shouldn't that have
precluded him
332
00:23:47,552 --> 00:23:49,387
from employment
at other hospitals?
333
00:23:52,223 --> 00:23:54,809
- I have to be careful
about what I say right now.
334
00:23:54,851 --> 00:23:56,686
Whoa.
335
00:23:56,728 --> 00:23:58,855
I feel like I'm in the fucking
Twilight Zone here,
336
00:23:58,897 --> 00:24:02,400
like I'm staring
at the face of a coverup.
337
00:24:02,442 --> 00:24:03,943
- That's offensive.
338
00:24:03,985 --> 00:24:05,737
- Oh, well,
I'll make sure to pass on
339
00:24:05,779 --> 00:24:07,697
how offended you are
to his other victims.
340
00:24:07,739 --> 00:24:10,200
- Facts were disputed
in some of his surgeries here.
341
00:24:10,241 --> 00:24:11,659
- Surgeries?
342
00:24:11,701 --> 00:24:13,870
Yeah, I saw one of his
"surgeries" here firsthand.
343
00:24:13,912 --> 00:24:15,455
- And yet somehow, Dr. Kirby,
344
00:24:15,497 --> 00:24:17,832
I didn't receive your complaint.
345
00:24:17,874 --> 00:24:20,085
Our letter for Dr. Duntsch
346
00:24:20,126 --> 00:24:22,671
is our fair and honest
appraisal of his standing
347
00:24:22,712 --> 00:24:24,255
at this institution.
348
00:24:24,297 --> 00:24:25,882
- Was Duntsch ever suspended?
349
00:24:25,924 --> 00:24:28,093
Your letter indicates that
he was under investigation,
350
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:29,302
and since it's your policy
351
00:24:29,344 --> 00:24:31,805
to suspend any doctor
under investigation,
352
00:24:31,846 --> 00:24:34,015
I assume that you followed
through with your policy.
353
00:24:34,057 --> 00:24:36,559
- Yes, you're correct. We did.
354
00:24:36,601 --> 00:24:38,061
As I recall, it was 21 days.
355
00:24:38,103 --> 00:24:41,022
Well, that's convenient.
356
00:24:41,064 --> 00:24:42,399
- Excuse me?
357
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,775
- National Practitioner
Data Bank.
358
00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:46,236
- That thing established
by Congress...
359
00:24:46,277 --> 00:24:47,445
- I know.
- To warn the public
360
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:49,322
and other hospitals
about bad doctors.
361
00:24:49,364 --> 00:24:50,949
- I know.
- You only have to report
362
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:53,743
the ones that are suspended
for 30 days or more.
363
00:24:53,785 --> 00:24:55,412
- How come
you didn't report Duntsch
364
00:24:55,453 --> 00:24:56,996
to the Texas Medical Board?
365
00:25:00,458 --> 00:25:01,793
- I think we're done here.
366
00:25:01,835 --> 00:25:04,629
- Can I ask you
a personal question?
367
00:25:04,671 --> 00:25:07,048
Would you let Duntsch
operate on you?
368
00:25:10,343 --> 00:25:12,929
- Lies of omission
do not make this institution
369
00:25:12,971 --> 00:25:16,141
any less complicit, Ms. Piel.
370
00:25:16,182 --> 00:25:18,309
- Nobody here is gonna help us.
371
00:25:18,351 --> 00:25:20,246
- I'm not sure what kind
of help we're looking for.
372
00:25:20,270 --> 00:25:21,998
- Come on, we can be sitting
in Skadden's office
373
00:25:22,022 --> 00:25:23,148
in a few hours.
374
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:24,816
- We spoke to him already.
- I know.
375
00:25:24,858 --> 00:25:26,276
- He says he
doesn't know anything.
376
00:25:26,317 --> 00:25:27,610
- I know!
377
00:25:27,652 --> 00:25:29,446
Come on, waste some time
with me.
378
00:25:29,487 --> 00:25:32,407
Maybe we'll find out U.T.
turned out a fraud.
379
00:25:54,304 --> 00:25:55,680
- Hi, everybody.
380
00:25:55,722 --> 00:25:57,432
So sorry I'm late.
381
00:25:57,474 --> 00:25:59,059
Katya, Dr. Duntsch.
382
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,311
Ilya, Dr. Duntsch.
383
00:26:01,353 --> 00:26:03,146
Welcome to DiscGenics.
384
00:26:03,188 --> 00:26:05,648
Thank you all so much
for coming.
385
00:26:05,690 --> 00:26:08,109
That's for you. That's for you.
386
00:26:08,151 --> 00:26:09,277
For you, sir.
387
00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:12,072
And do you mind
passing those around?
388
00:26:12,113 --> 00:26:15,575
I just need some vitamin C.
Be right back.
389
00:26:34,678 --> 00:26:36,346
Okay.
390
00:26:36,388 --> 00:26:38,723
Sorry about that.
391
00:26:38,765 --> 00:26:43,770
Now, let me tell you
why you're all here.
392
00:26:43,812 --> 00:26:46,648
I'm hoping that you will
continue to be interested
393
00:26:46,690 --> 00:26:48,525
in what it is that I'm trying
to accomplish,
394
00:26:48,566 --> 00:26:50,485
maybe financially interested.
395
00:26:50,527 --> 00:26:51,736
- We already know.
396
00:26:51,778 --> 00:26:54,197
- Our work
with osteosarcoma stem cells...
397
00:26:54,239 --> 00:26:55,532
it's a simple deduction.
398
00:26:55,573 --> 00:26:58,284
You wish to research
spinal cancer.
399
00:26:58,326 --> 00:26:59,703
Nyet.
400
00:26:59,744 --> 00:27:01,913
Nothing so basic.
401
00:27:01,955 --> 00:27:04,207
I brought you here because
of your cancer research.
402
00:27:04,249 --> 00:27:05,917
I practically memorized
your paper
403
00:27:05,959 --> 00:27:08,211
on phenotypical heterogeneity
of neural cells.
404
00:27:08,253 --> 00:27:10,880
But, look, we can all cure
cancer another day.
405
00:27:10,922 --> 00:27:13,383
Right now your research
can be exploited
406
00:27:13,425 --> 00:27:17,387
to create stem cells
to grow new spinal discs.
407
00:27:17,429 --> 00:27:19,681
Eliminate the need for surgery.
408
00:27:19,723 --> 00:27:22,225
That's what we're doing here
at DiscGenics.
409
00:27:30,650 --> 00:27:34,112
- I question if you understand
the most basic science.
410
00:27:37,073 --> 00:27:38,366
- Um...
411
00:27:38,408 --> 00:27:41,161
may I see that for one second?
Thank you.
412
00:27:41,202 --> 00:27:45,999
Um, if you'll all turn
to page...
413
00:27:46,041 --> 00:27:47,959
13.
414
00:27:48,001 --> 00:27:51,379
This is your work
in spherical clone generation.
415
00:27:51,421 --> 00:27:54,924
You were able to demonstrate
stem cell markers OCT 3/4,
416
00:27:54,966 --> 00:27:58,136
NANOG, and STAT3,
unless I misunderstood.
417
00:27:58,178 --> 00:28:00,930
- That is correct.
- Right, but unlike with STAT3,
418
00:28:00,972 --> 00:28:04,059
where there was robust
expression in both spheres
419
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:07,103
and adherent cultures,
NANOG and OCT 3/4
420
00:28:07,145 --> 00:28:09,105
had more variable patterns
of expression.
421
00:28:09,147 --> 00:28:13,026
Ergo, the key determinant in
self-renewal and pluripotency
422
00:28:13,068 --> 00:28:17,405
for stem cells in embryonic
settings are variable.
423
00:28:17,447 --> 00:28:20,116
Am I right?
424
00:28:20,158 --> 00:28:23,286
I'm right. So all I'm asking
is that we take your work
425
00:28:23,328 --> 00:28:25,205
into stem cell
self-renewal markers,
426
00:28:25,246 --> 00:28:28,750
and we use it to create
a new cell therapy.
427
00:28:28,792 --> 00:28:30,794
We build stem cells
428
00:28:30,835 --> 00:28:34,047
to repair diseased spinal discs.
429
00:28:36,508 --> 00:28:38,468
Will you help me out?
430
00:28:45,308 --> 00:28:47,143
Well, what do you think?
431
00:28:47,185 --> 00:28:49,771
Definitely intrigued.
432
00:28:49,813 --> 00:28:53,483
- Outside the obvious,
how can I help?
433
00:28:53,525 --> 00:28:55,777
- Honestly...
434
00:28:56,986 --> 00:28:59,280
My surgical reps are killing me.
435
00:28:59,322 --> 00:29:02,075
You know, there's only
so many hours in the day.
436
00:29:03,535 --> 00:29:05,120
- You are an M.D./PhD.
437
00:29:05,161 --> 00:29:07,914
You have to be able
to balance both.
438
00:29:07,956 --> 00:29:09,624
You look tired.
439
00:29:09,666 --> 00:29:12,085
Yeah.
440
00:29:12,127 --> 00:29:14,921
I'm burning the candle
at both ends and the middle.
441
00:29:18,883 --> 00:29:20,969
- A little friendly word...
442
00:29:21,011 --> 00:29:23,471
if I had a future ahead of me
as bright as yours,
443
00:29:23,513 --> 00:29:27,517
I would never want to be a
minute late showing up for it.
444
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:29,728
- Okay?
- Yes, sir.
445
00:29:31,730 --> 00:29:33,523
- I'm gonna go press some flesh.
446
00:29:55,879 --> 00:29:57,255
- Today I will be performing
447
00:29:57,297 --> 00:30:00,592
an anterior cervical
discectomy and fusion.
448
00:30:00,633 --> 00:30:04,054
The vertebral bodies are
exposed, and so is the disc.
449
00:30:04,095 --> 00:30:06,973
Chris, I'm thinking DiscGenics
is gonna need some more money.
450
00:30:07,015 --> 00:30:08,850
- What do you mean?
451
00:30:08,892 --> 00:30:10,935
- You should meet
with some investment bankers.
452
00:30:10,977 --> 00:30:13,104
I am drilling directly
into the disc
453
00:30:13,146 --> 00:30:17,692
until I encounter the posterior
longitudinal ligament.
454
00:30:17,734 --> 00:30:19,986
Beyond that is the spinal cord.
455
00:30:20,028 --> 00:30:22,447
- Before I get the patent?
- The PLL is pierced.
456
00:30:22,489 --> 00:30:25,742
Inside the diseased disc
resembles crabmeat.
457
00:30:25,784 --> 00:30:29,537
I use a nerve hook
to remove the disc
458
00:30:29,579 --> 00:30:31,873
and decompress the spinal cord.
459
00:30:31,915 --> 00:30:34,167
It's classic
chicken-and-the-egg.
460
00:30:34,209 --> 00:30:36,544
Private equity
is a lusty courtship.
461
00:30:36,586 --> 00:30:38,254
The spinal cord is the white,
462
00:30:38,296 --> 00:30:41,716
glossy structure with a juicy
blood vessel on top,
463
00:30:41,758 --> 00:30:43,718
and that is the dura.
464
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,553
Now, we tease out...
465
00:30:52,143 --> 00:30:55,563
We now tease out the disc.
466
00:30:59,859 --> 00:31:02,404
Dr. Duntsch has successfully
removed the disc.
467
00:31:02,445 --> 00:31:03,988
Well done.
468
00:31:04,030 --> 00:31:06,574
Don't worry.
You'll get your patent, Chris.
469
00:31:06,616 --> 00:31:09,536
And you and your company
will make us obsolete.
470
00:31:10,662 --> 00:31:12,414
- We now drill holes
471
00:31:12,455 --> 00:31:16,543
for the twin screws
in the vertebra.
472
00:31:16,584 --> 00:31:18,378
You ready?
473
00:31:25,719 --> 00:31:27,762
The only useful thing
you learned at Harvard
474
00:31:27,804 --> 00:31:29,556
was how to name-drop
the word Harvard
475
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:30,974
into any given conversation.
476
00:31:31,016 --> 00:31:33,727
Oh, here are
our two esteemed visitors
477
00:31:33,768 --> 00:31:35,103
I was telling you about...
478
00:31:35,145 --> 00:31:37,272
Dr. Robert Henderson
and Dr. Randall Kirby.
479
00:31:37,313 --> 00:31:39,441
It's a pleasure to make
your acquaintance
480
00:31:39,482 --> 00:31:40,442
in the flesh, gentlemen.
481
00:31:40,483 --> 00:31:42,694
Dr. Kirby went
to Rice University
482
00:31:42,736 --> 00:31:44,571
and Baylor College of Medicine.
483
00:31:44,612 --> 00:31:47,490
And Dr. Henderson...
484
00:31:47,532 --> 00:31:49,951
I'm so sorry.
I-I'm completely forgetting.
485
00:31:49,993 --> 00:31:51,995
Uh, where did you get your M.D.?
486
00:31:52,037 --> 00:31:54,956
- University of Nebraska.
- Yes.
487
00:31:54,998 --> 00:31:58,418
Right, right.
Um, go, Corn Huskers.
488
00:32:01,671 --> 00:32:04,424
- Duntsch's friend, if you can
believe he actually had one.
489
00:32:04,466 --> 00:32:06,634
- Turned him
into a quadriplegic.
490
00:32:06,676 --> 00:32:08,136
As of today, he's closing in
491
00:32:08,178 --> 00:32:10,472
on two dozen
botched surgeries...
492
00:32:10,513 --> 00:32:12,766
holes that drilled
through muscle,
493
00:32:12,807 --> 00:32:14,559
nerves severed, arteries.
494
00:32:14,601 --> 00:32:18,188
I mean, the guy can't define
basic regional anatomy.
495
00:32:18,229 --> 00:32:20,065
- He approaches spinal surgery
496
00:32:20,106 --> 00:32:23,693
like a child
playing with Tinkertoys.
497
00:32:23,735 --> 00:32:26,863
- This is not
the Christopher Duntsch I knew.
498
00:32:28,865 --> 00:32:31,493
These things here, I...
499
00:32:31,534 --> 00:32:33,661
I never saw.
500
00:32:33,703 --> 00:32:35,038
I just can't explain it.
501
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,557
- Well, perhaps
you could help us unpack
502
00:32:36,581 --> 00:32:38,458
the reference you provided
for Duntsch?
503
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:40,460
- Of course.
504
00:32:40,502 --> 00:32:42,420
- He met all
of his training hours?
505
00:32:42,462 --> 00:32:45,048
- Yes, though I-I can't speak
to his... his residency.
506
00:32:45,090 --> 00:32:46,633
You'd have to check
with them for that.
507
00:32:46,675 --> 00:32:48,527
- I'm sure you wouldn't have
included him in your fellowship
508
00:32:48,551 --> 00:32:50,321
if you didn't think he was
properly trained, correct?
509
00:32:50,345 --> 00:32:51,388
- Correct.
510
00:32:51,429 --> 00:32:53,431
- You oversaw his
surgical reps here?
511
00:32:53,473 --> 00:32:54,474
- Yes.
512
00:32:54,516 --> 00:32:56,726
And if you were one
of my fellows
513
00:32:56,768 --> 00:32:58,895
and I was watching
514
00:32:58,937 --> 00:33:01,314
and you did
what you've shown me here,
515
00:33:01,356 --> 00:33:03,441
that would be the end
of your fellowship.
516
00:33:03,483 --> 00:33:05,068
- Any drugs?
517
00:33:05,110 --> 00:33:06,319
- I never saw anything
518
00:33:06,361 --> 00:33:07,862
that would lead me
to that conclusion.
519
00:33:07,904 --> 00:33:09,197
- Psychiatric issues?
520
00:33:09,239 --> 00:33:10,824
- He may have sought counseling.
521
00:33:10,865 --> 00:33:13,243
A lot of students do.
522
00:33:13,284 --> 00:33:16,246
I'm afraid that's really all
I can help you with.
523
00:33:16,287 --> 00:33:19,249
- With all due respect, I have
to disagree with you there.
524
00:33:19,290 --> 00:33:21,751
- His references are
the bedrock to his bullshit.
525
00:33:21,793 --> 00:33:23,294
He can get credentialed
anywhere.
526
00:33:23,336 --> 00:33:24,671
- You're in a unique position
527
00:33:24,713 --> 00:33:27,090
to tell them
what you know about Dallas.
528
00:33:27,132 --> 00:33:29,884
- I did,
on the form for Forest Park.
529
00:33:29,926 --> 00:33:31,928
I mentioned poor outcomes
at Baylor.
530
00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:34,055
- But not Dallas Medical?
- No, no.
531
00:33:34,097 --> 00:33:36,391
They wanted the form back
immediately.
532
00:33:36,433 --> 00:33:39,728
So I checked the boxes
as requested,
533
00:33:39,769 --> 00:33:42,063
stated that he was...
534
00:33:42,105 --> 00:33:45,066
satisfactory, which he was.
535
00:33:45,108 --> 00:33:47,152
- If it had been me,
536
00:33:47,193 --> 00:33:49,195
I would have done everything
in my power to say,
537
00:33:49,237 --> 00:33:50,655
"No, I cannot recommend him."
538
00:33:50,697 --> 00:33:52,907
- I can read you the form
for privileges,
539
00:33:52,949 --> 00:33:54,868
but it only relates
to his time here.
540
00:33:54,909 --> 00:33:58,121
You're only allowed to attest
to what you directly observe,
541
00:33:58,163 --> 00:34:00,707
that period of time
the observation is made,
542
00:34:00,749 --> 00:34:02,417
and your role as observer...
543
00:34:02,459 --> 00:34:04,669
what happened
during his training.
544
00:34:07,297 --> 00:34:10,759
- What about the images
we've provided you with?
545
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,470
Yeah.
546
00:34:13,511 --> 00:34:15,263
Yeah, I'm sorry.
547
00:34:15,305 --> 00:34:18,767
I-I'm afraid I'd have to throw
the ball back to Dallas.
548
00:34:18,808 --> 00:34:22,395
What happened, he did in Texas.
549
00:34:22,437 --> 00:34:24,105
Makes you think
the hospitals there
550
00:34:24,147 --> 00:34:25,732
will take any surgeon
with a pulse.
551
00:34:30,904 --> 00:34:33,114
I see why you're so upset...
552
00:34:33,156 --> 00:34:35,992
these hospitals
not reporting him,
553
00:34:36,034 --> 00:34:39,120
Not vetting him properly.
554
00:34:39,162 --> 00:34:42,916
But this is a Texas problem...
555
00:34:42,957 --> 00:34:45,627
not a Tennessee problem.
556
00:35:00,016 --> 00:35:02,477
Hi, it's Christopher Duntsch.
557
00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:04,521
Dr. Christopher Duntsch calling.
558
00:35:04,562 --> 00:35:07,107
Uh, just following up
on that exam you had
559
00:35:07,148 --> 00:35:08,650
a couple of months ago.
560
00:35:08,692 --> 00:35:10,961
I just wanted to see if you're
still interested in surgery
561
00:35:10,985 --> 00:35:12,529
to correct all that pain.
562
00:35:12,570 --> 00:35:14,614
I'm still working
out of Baylor-Plano,
563
00:35:14,656 --> 00:35:17,450
but I did actually start
working at another hospital.
564
00:35:19,536 --> 00:35:21,746
I'm just following up.
How's that neck pain?
565
00:35:21,788 --> 00:35:22,831
A tingling foot?
566
00:35:22,872 --> 00:35:24,958
The exam is free.
567
00:35:27,919 --> 00:35:30,005
You are interested.
568
00:35:30,046 --> 00:35:32,257
Oh, you moved.
569
00:35:32,298 --> 00:35:34,259
Out of state.
570
00:35:35,552 --> 00:35:38,805
You know, January is
Spinal Health Awareness Month.
571
00:35:38,847 --> 00:35:40,557
Hello?
572
00:35:41,808 --> 00:35:43,852
Mrs. Bloom?
573
00:35:43,893 --> 00:35:45,645
He passed.
574
00:35:49,274 --> 00:35:51,276
I will say hi to Jerry for you.
575
00:35:51,317 --> 00:35:53,028
Kim is great.
576
00:35:53,069 --> 00:35:54,487
Yeah.
577
00:35:54,529 --> 00:35:57,240
No, she's great.
578
00:35:57,282 --> 00:36:00,452
Well, Jerry...
579
00:36:00,493 --> 00:36:02,787
moved on.
580
00:36:04,789 --> 00:36:06,124
That's a hairline fracture.
581
00:36:06,166 --> 00:36:08,286
You... you could be paralyzed
if you don't correct it.
582
00:36:12,339 --> 00:36:14,549
Kim is great.
583
00:36:18,887 --> 00:36:20,555
Yes.
584
00:36:20,597 --> 00:36:22,015
Yes, yes.
585
00:36:22,057 --> 00:36:25,810
I promise I'll never call back.
586
00:37:15,402 --> 00:37:17,362
- Dr. Duntsch?
587
00:37:22,075 --> 00:37:23,618
The Dr. Duntsch?
588
00:37:23,660 --> 00:37:25,388
- Can I help you?
- We're kind of closing up.
589
00:37:25,412 --> 00:37:27,455
- Uh, I'm Stan Novak.
590
00:37:27,497 --> 00:37:29,290
I, uh, found 'em in your door.
591
00:37:29,332 --> 00:37:31,751
- Oh, it's that
damn office manager...
592
00:37:31,793 --> 00:37:33,670
so scatterbrained.
593
00:37:37,507 --> 00:37:40,510
When did you hurt your neck?
594
00:37:40,552 --> 00:37:42,470
- Motorcycle crash
six years ago.
595
00:37:42,512 --> 00:37:45,640
I've had five back surgeries.
596
00:37:45,682 --> 00:37:48,309
How'd you know it was my neck?
597
00:37:48,351 --> 00:37:51,730
It's kind of what I do
for a living.
598
00:37:51,771 --> 00:37:53,982
Let me guess...
599
00:37:54,024 --> 00:37:55,316
when the spasms happen,
600
00:37:55,358 --> 00:37:56,901
it feels like an electric shock?
601
00:37:56,943 --> 00:37:58,486
- Oh, any little thing
sets 'em off.
602
00:37:58,528 --> 00:38:00,822
Sometimes hits me
when I'm driving.
603
00:38:00,864 --> 00:38:02,323
I almost go off the road.
604
00:38:02,365 --> 00:38:04,784
- Yeah, that's Lhermitte's sign.
605
00:38:04,826 --> 00:38:07,328
We're looking
at a cervical fusion.
606
00:38:07,370 --> 00:38:09,539
You got severe compression
of the spinal cord,
607
00:38:09,581 --> 00:38:12,334
but if we decompress that,
you'll have a full recovery.
608
00:38:14,586 --> 00:38:17,339
I've seen so many doctors,
but I wanted you.
609
00:38:17,380 --> 00:38:20,050
Saw your award video.
610
00:38:20,091 --> 00:38:23,219
Best Docs.
611
00:38:28,725 --> 00:38:31,102
- Two reasons why patients
normally present
612
00:38:31,144 --> 00:38:33,605
to their doctors for pain
related to the spine...
613
00:38:33,646 --> 00:38:36,691
the first is related to
the peripheral nervous system.
614
00:38:36,733 --> 00:38:38,193
That's called radiculopathy.
615
00:38:38,234 --> 00:38:40,904
Now, that's normally
associated with compression
616
00:38:40,945 --> 00:38:42,530
or degenerative changes
617
00:38:42,572 --> 00:38:44,949
to the spinal structure
irritating the nerve, or...
618
00:38:44,991 --> 00:38:48,036
- Award for best doctor
in Texas, huh?
619
00:38:51,748 --> 00:38:53,392
You caught me in the middle
of an expansion.
620
00:38:53,416 --> 00:38:56,169
I'm a little short-staffed
right now.
621
00:38:56,211 --> 00:38:58,838
- You can still do it, right?
622
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,840
- I'm all booked up at Baylor,
623
00:39:00,882 --> 00:39:02,967
but I did just start
at University General.
624
00:39:03,009 --> 00:39:05,845
I can squeeze you in there.
625
00:39:20,402 --> 00:39:21,653
- We get the process, Duntsch.
626
00:39:21,695 --> 00:39:23,863
- And we do
like disruptive tech.
627
00:39:23,905 --> 00:39:25,532
- Then you're gonna
love DiscGenics.
628
00:39:25,573 --> 00:39:27,009
- Oh, it's just that
I was forced to take
629
00:39:27,033 --> 00:39:28,803
the "D to a C" program,
in high-school biology, so...
630
00:39:28,827 --> 00:39:30,412
- I put the fucking
A in AP chem,
631
00:39:30,453 --> 00:39:31,871
and I still don't get
what it does.
632
00:39:31,913 --> 00:39:33,289
- Okay, brass tacks...
633
00:39:33,331 --> 00:39:34,708
I'm inventing
634
00:39:34,749 --> 00:39:37,043
an injectable fountain
of youth for the spine.
635
00:39:37,085 --> 00:39:40,046
- Work for his wanker?
- That's phase two.
636
00:39:40,088 --> 00:39:41,589
- Hey, there's hope.
637
00:39:41,631 --> 00:39:44,384
- Look, simply put, stem cells
take over diseased cells
638
00:39:44,426 --> 00:39:46,219
in spinal discs and repair them.
639
00:39:46,261 --> 00:39:48,972
- How far along is it?
640
00:39:49,014 --> 00:39:51,766
- We're looking for partners
right now to raise capital
641
00:39:51,808 --> 00:39:54,811
based on lead assets
that we've already generated.
642
00:39:54,853 --> 00:39:56,563
I mean, look, I am developing
a key process
643
00:39:56,604 --> 00:39:58,356
in the manipulation
of stem cells,
644
00:39:58,398 --> 00:39:59,899
but, equally important,
645
00:39:59,941 --> 00:40:02,610
our competitors are going
to need to use this step
646
00:40:02,652 --> 00:40:04,404
if they want to play
in our space.
647
00:40:04,446 --> 00:40:07,032
We'll own it,
and they'll have to pay.
648
00:40:07,073 --> 00:40:09,617
- And how'd you come up
with the concept?
649
00:40:09,659 --> 00:40:12,620
LSD.
650
00:40:12,662 --> 00:40:14,289
- I knew it.
- I knew it.
651
00:40:14,330 --> 00:40:17,167
- ♪ Bass down low,

Yo, what the fuck's a MISI?
656
00:40:27,469 --> 00:40:29,846
- Minimally Invasive
Spine Institute...
657
00:40:29,888 --> 00:40:31,139
M-I-S-I, MISI.
658
00:40:31,181 --> 00:40:34,017
- Minimally invasive spines
are your jam, man.
659
00:40:34,059 --> 00:40:37,270
Too many choices.
What are you gonna do?
660
00:40:37,312 --> 00:40:38,855
- What are we gonna do?
661
00:40:40,648 --> 00:40:42,168
I don't think you should
sell anymore, you know?
662
00:40:42,192 --> 00:40:43,193
- Come on, man.
663
00:40:43,234 --> 00:40:45,236
- It's no big deal.
- No, no.
664
00:40:45,278 --> 00:40:47,072
Come with me.
665
00:40:48,907 --> 00:40:50,283
- Where?
666
00:40:50,325 --> 00:40:53,661
- I got job offers in Dallas,
California, wherever.
667
00:40:53,703 --> 00:40:56,039
- What am I gonna do?
- You already live with me.
668
00:40:56,081 --> 00:40:57,415
You drive me.
669
00:40:57,457 --> 00:40:59,125
We're best friends, right?
670
00:40:59,167 --> 00:41:01,294
- Goddamn right we are.
671
00:41:01,336 --> 00:41:03,880
Wherever you go,
I'll work for you.
672
00:41:03,922 --> 00:41:08,468
Hey, how about director
of marketing?
673
00:41:08,510 --> 00:41:10,845
Preach the empire of Duntsch.

00:41:34,703 --> 00:41:36,579
Just wanted to introduce myself.
684
00:41:36,621 --> 00:41:38,373
- Get out of here.
- My name's Chris.
685
00:41:38,415 --> 00:41:40,208
- What's yours?
- I paid for this, Chris.
686
00:41:40,250 --> 00:41:41,668
Back the fuck off.
687
00:41:41,710 --> 00:41:43,396
- Touch my friend again,
I'll break your spine,
688
00:41:43,420 --> 00:41:45,797
and you'll have to pay him
to fix it.
689
00:41:45,839 --> 00:41:48,508
- So, what's your name?
- Crystale.
690
00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:50,510
It's a little early
for Halloween.
691
00:41:52,053 --> 00:41:54,681
- I like your costume better.
- You gonna pay for it?
692
00:41:54,723 --> 00:41:57,183
- No, 'cause you are priceless.
693
00:41:57,225 --> 00:42:01,563
- Oh, if only I hadn't heard
that line seven times tonight.
694
00:42:01,604 --> 00:42:03,940
- I bet you break a heart
every time you say that.
695
00:42:05,692 --> 00:42:08,695
- If you're really a doctor,
what kind are you.
696
00:42:08,737 --> 00:42:11,406
Aside from being
a cheap-ass one?
697
00:42:11,448 --> 00:42:14,617
Well, Crystale,
unless you're board certified
698
00:42:14,659 --> 00:42:16,411
in neurosurgery
and molecular biology,
699
00:42:16,453 --> 00:42:19,247
I don't think I could
explain it to you.
700
00:42:19,289 --> 00:42:21,958
- I'm board certified
in knowing you're an asshole.
701
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,084
- Hey!
702
00:42:23,126 --> 00:42:24,252
- My name's not "hey."
703
00:42:24,294 --> 00:42:26,838
- Well, it's not
Crystale either.
704
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,965
Look, I've had a crazy day.
705
00:42:29,007 --> 00:42:32,218
A bunch of dreams
just came true all at once.
706
00:42:32,260 --> 00:42:34,054
Has that ever happened to you?
707
00:42:34,095 --> 00:42:36,848
- Dancing here is my trifecta
of dreams come true.
708
00:42:40,602 --> 00:42:41,978
- Okay, so I'm an asshole,
709
00:42:42,020 --> 00:42:44,189
and I'm sorry
for what I said earlier.
710
00:42:44,230 --> 00:42:45,732
- Pardon the interruption.
711
00:42:45,774 --> 00:42:48,526
Listen, bro, I don't need
to be marketing director.
712
00:42:48,568 --> 00:42:50,695
Only title I want in your life
is friend,
713
00:42:50,737 --> 00:42:52,655
and you can never fire me.
714
00:42:52,697 --> 00:42:54,449
I go where you go,
715
00:42:54,491 --> 00:42:56,409
but you do need
a slogan for DiscGenics.
716
00:42:56,451 --> 00:42:58,787
- A slogan?
- I'll give it a whirl.
717
00:42:58,828 --> 00:43:01,748
- You don't know what it is.
- Do you know what it is?
718
00:43:01,790 --> 00:43:03,875
- I don't need to. I'm good.
719
00:43:06,419 --> 00:43:08,922
- Holy shit. Done fucking deal.
720
00:43:08,963 --> 00:43:11,257
Fuck, yeah.
Chris, you got to hear it.
721
00:43:11,299 --> 00:43:13,218
She's rock and roll.
722
00:43:13,259 --> 00:43:16,471
- ♪ La, la, la, la-la, la-la ♪
723
00:43:16,513 --> 00:43:18,223

Bob!
734
00:44:51,733 --> 00:44:53,276
Hey! Come on!
735
00:44:53,318 --> 00:44:55,487
- No, no, no... oh.
736
00:44:55,528 --> 00:44:57,364
I came at a bad time, I'm sorry.
737
00:44:57,405 --> 00:44:59,824
- No, no, no! Come on.
- It's opera night, come on in.
738
00:44:59,866 --> 00:45:01,066
- Come on.
- Hey, look at this.
739
00:45:03,161 --> 00:45:05,705
He got another job.
740
00:45:05,747 --> 00:45:07,916
University General Hospital.
741
00:45:07,957 --> 00:45:09,268
You know what?
I went to med school
742
00:45:09,292 --> 00:45:10,853
with the owner
of this place... Dr. Sasani.
743
00:45:10,877 --> 00:45:12,045
We should go there.
744
00:45:12,087 --> 00:45:13,838
- And do what exactly?
- I don't know.
745
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:14,881
We'll figure it out.
746
00:45:14,923 --> 00:45:17,342
We'll, uh, denounce him
publicly.
747
00:45:17,384 --> 00:45:20,011
No more half measures, right?
748
00:45:20,053 --> 00:45:22,263
- Okay.
- Come on.
749
00:45:22,305 --> 00:45:24,808
Jacqueline, look who's here!
750
00:45:24,849 --> 00:45:28,103
This is Dr. Bob Henderson.
