VIVIAN:
The point of proctorship is to ensure

a surgeon's skills
have not diminished

during a leave of absence.

The guidelines are rigorous.

But then again,
so is heart surgery.

"A proctorship's
successful conclusion is a win

for the returning surgeon
and the patients in his care."

It's all there.Well, I want to start out

on the right foot,
and I want to make sure

that the terms are clear
and easy to follow.

I just don't know that
clarity is the issue, Sam.

I mean, we're talking about
your father.

We're talking about
my colleague.

I am in as a doctor.
Out as a daughter, remember?

Good. So you've drawn
your boundaries with your...

colleague, but, um...

What about Lex?

Hmm? Have you, uh,
have you talked to her?

Uh... [scoffs] About work, yes.

About having an affair
with my father, no, not so much.

But she's your best friend.

I appreciate your concern.

But right now,
this department head

needs her CMO more than
your daughter needs her mother.

I'm gonna get these guidelines
to Dr. Griffith right away.

Thank you.

Hey, um,
sorry to interrupt.

Uh, year-end projections
just came in.

Thank you, Malcolm.

I'd like to review those

Hi.

Hi. [clears throat]

I'll be, uh, in my office.

So, what's tomorrow?

He is the chairman of the board.So, tomorrow

improved patient satisfaction.

Weeks ago.

to calm the cough.

He's just been suffering
so much.

Let's also run
a 12-lead EKG

and do a bacterial culture.

Well, it's most likely viral,
so..,

in the X-ray,

I would like to be sure.

I trusted you.

I confided in you about him.

months before the shooting.

The fact that it started at all.

What is the drama

I don't know.
Ask Lex.

I did.

She told me to go back

What makes no sense?

Well, hobbits

Oh.

Uh, just... feet.

Wow.

I can't do this right now.

Is that how it's gonna be
from now on?

This is how it's gonna be today.

I've reviewed your chart,
Mr. Morris.

Ted's fine.
Okay.

How long have you had
the palpitations

and the dizziness?Um...

A couple weeks,
but it's-it's getting worse.

That is a rapid heart rate.

I'd like to revisit
the dosages of your medications.

I don't take them.

I don't like pills.

Besides, I, uh,

I pretty much felt fine
up until now, so...

a couple times.

That doesn't sound fine.

Well, I'm just,
I'm tired, you know.

I'm-I'm not

And-and stay here?

Yes.
Overnight?

Yes.

No way.

Mr. Morris, you may need
to have surgery.

Yeah, you know what?
I-It's fine.

I can always come back tomorrow.

I just, I just

Can't sleep at home,

How-how do you know I snore?

Have you lost vision
in an eye recently?

Just for a minute or two?

Yeah, yeah, but I thought
it was a migraine.

Hmm, well,
it wasn't a migraine.

It was a stroke.

a long time, Ted.

Guys like you--
young, don't smoke,

no diabetes, no hypertension,

for carotid artery disease--

you all snore,

Keeping that baby alive is,

And I'm happy to consult.

I'll be in touch.

[sighs] Okay.

Your proctorship requires that
you comply with my directives,

not question them. It's all in
the guidelines I sent to you.

Mm, about those guidelines...

Surgeon's knots?

Sim Lab?
Isn't that a little remedial?

They're standard benchmarks
for evaluation.

And we can't skip
the baby steps?

No, you can't skip
basic skill assessments.

I thought the goal was
to get me back into surgery.

It is, once you've proven
basic competency.

You're questioning
my basic competency?[groans]

I am saying that you have to

follow the rules
like everybody else.

Studies show that even
two weeks away from surgery

diminishes performance,
and that's for surgeons

who weren't in a coma
for six months.

Accelerating your time line is

just not in the patients'
best interest.

Which one of us just prevented
a patient from walking out?

You can't skip ahead

Blood pressure 184/124.

Heart rate in the 120s.

Hmm. Let's increase

There's the enlargement we saw
on the X-ray.

The muscle tissue in the left

A transplant is not his only option.

This is a genetic disorder.For which there is no cure.

A lot of major
academic institutions

are making huge achievements
in gene editing therapy.

Which holds a lot of promise
for the future, but not today.

Not for this patient.

Just because
something is new

and different does not
automatically disqualify it

as a valid--Huntington's. Sickle cell.

Hemophilia.
All caused by an alteration

to a single nucleotide.

Mm-hmm.How do we know which one?

Dr. Costa.

We mapped the genomes
of patients

with those diseases
and found the common mutations.

Which requires what?

Dr. Shah?

A big enough sample size

of affected patients
to draw comparisons.

There are over 50 genes
affecting heart development.

Even if we mapped
the baby's genome,

even if we found the mutations,

we would have no way of knowing
which one caused the disease.

it is precisely the time.

In your opinion.

In my experience,
which we both know

vastly outweighs yours.Yes, it does.

And in this case,
your approach is outdated.

Look, space medicine is not

Gene therapy has helped

a lot of people.

Look, Dad,

Dr. Tucker,
I need you to prepare

a surgical consent form

for putting a patient
on a Berlin Heart. Here.

For the pediatric case?

Is there another patient
in imminent need

of an assist device?

Is Dr. Griffith aware that
we're moving forward...

It's a timely request, Doctor.Right.

I'm on it.

What happened to
"follow Sam's lead"?[elevator bell dings]

What was I supposed to do?

Dr. Tucker, we have a problem.

No kidding.It's Ted.

Those were not

TED:
Somebody call 911!

What is going on?

I'm-I'm having a heart attack.He was eating candy,

Ah, rapid heart rate,

Yeah, very stoned.

How many of these

Dr. Trulie,
he ate them all.

I see that you got consent
for the Berlin device.

It was the right call.

I just hope
it doesn't come to that.

Griff had me do it.

Yeah, he can be very persuasive.
Just ask the board.

Have you tried talking to them

about his reinstatement?
Yeah.

I've tried, but
only department heads can call

a meeting with the board,
and apparently,

in light of yesterday's
decision, I'm interim head.

So...
Like I said,

he can be very persuasive.

Well, I-I, uh, did some research
into pediatric gene therapy.

So, Boston Children's
has multiple trials

trying to tackle
congenital cardiac disorders.

I sent them an email.

Really?

And if there are
other patients out there

Better than giving up.

It's a symptom.

Wait, of the same disease

Less severe, of course,

We can map the genomes.

Calling this meeting was the
least I could do to thank her.

I know that you don't think
the I'm right person

for the position of chief.

To be honest, neither did I.

I thought I was gonna

finish my fellowship
and move on.

I had an offer
from the Cleveland Clinic.

And then I thought,

"I am good at this."

Patients are thriving,

They are happier than they were
under my father,

which means they are
more effective.

They are more efficient.

They're more successful.

There's a baby alive today
to prove it.

to step in as chief.

And now my father is awake, and
you are asking me to step aside,

for this department's future,

which means yours is
not guaranteed.
