Previously on e.R.:

Any idea
When you're coming back?

No. The hearing's
In a couple weeks.

Our very own nurse hathaway

Is doing quite
Beautifully all
On her own.

Two women on the same night?

Scheduling mix-up.

We were having drinks.

Was that drinks before or
After the basketball game?

I took out
Your appendix.

What?

I'm afraid.

Of what?

Of liking you
Too much.

Intubate him.

He doesn't want
On to be a machine.

Intubate him.

( continuous clinking
And scraping )

Mom?

Oh, did I wake you?

What are you doing?

I'm making you breakfast.

Where's the coffee?

How are you feeling?

Sleeping okay?

Like a baby.

No nightmares?

No.

It would only be natural.

Mom... I see worse stuff
At work every day.

Today's the big day, right?

The test?

No. Find out about your job.

Mom, they suspended me.

I might not get
My job back.

Those eggs done?

No, still too runny.

I like them runny.

Another couple minutes.

What test?

Medical school admissions test,
Mom.

I thought you gave up on that.

No...

Hmm,
Big commitment.

Here we go.

Perfect.

Hmm. Doctor...
That would be something.

I could do it.

I know you could.

I could.

I said so.

Why do you always do that?

Do what?

Make me feel

Like I'm incapable, stupid.

I said I thought
You could do it.

I wish for once
You would believe in me.

I believe in you.

You're always making me feel

Like I can't do anything.

That's not true.

Why didn't you tell me

I could be a lawyer
Or an astronaut?!

You wanted to be an astronaut?

No, but I wanted you
To tell me I could.

Fine. Go be an astronaut.

I'm your mother.

I love you, whoever you are...

Doctor, nurse, housewife...

Oh, right. Housewife.

You hold you back, not me.

You're the one
That always

Quits everything

Frightened that you're
Not good enough.

I finish things.

Ballet, cheerleading,
Uh, the flute.

I was 13.

Business school

Your own
Wedding.

( sighing )

I finished nursing school,
Didn't I?

Right.

Exactly.

You've got a great job
You're good at

So why is the grass
Suddenly greener?

You have
A good life.

I'm proud of you.

Why aren't you
Proud of yourself?

( door shutting )

Carla!

Hey.

I was coming
To see you.

I didn't know you had
To be to work this early.

I don't.

Look, uh...

Carla, I'm sorry
I haven't called you.

I mean...

Uh-huh.

I had a lot of stuff
Going on, you know?

I had minor surgery,
And all this other...

Sorry to hear that.

Are you okay?

Yeah, it was just
My appendix.

I'm still a little
Sore, but I'm okay.

How about you? You okay?

Peter, what do you want?

We need to talk.

Uh-uh.

I told you that I was
Pregnant weeks ago, okay?

Then nothing--
No phone calls

No coming by to see
How I was doing.

Silence.

I got the point.

It's cool, I got it.

Look, I wasn't trying
To make a point.

Look...

Carla.

I realize there's going
To be a baby here.

He's going to me
As much my responsibility

As he is yours.

I needed some time
To think about this thing.

No, it's not the way
I would've planned it

But I'm not going
To let you

Go through this
By yourself.

You going to
Marry me, peter?

That's not
What I'm saying.

So what are you
Saying? What?

You're going to stop
By every so often

And change
A few diapers

Bounce our baby
On your knee

For a couple of
Kodak moments?

Child's going to need
A good school

A nice place to live.

And you're saying
I can't provide
Those things?

I'm saying
I can help, carla.

Money.

So that is what
This is all about.

Yeah, that,
Among other things.

A child's going to need
A man in his life.

Well, who says
That this baby

Will not have a man
In his life?

So, what are you saying?

You seeing somebody else?

( laughing )

Peter, you know,
You and I

We've known each other
For a very long time.

I never expected
You to marry me.

I never expected
A damn thing from you.

You care about you.

And that is the way
It has always been.

But you know, it's
Comforting, really.

It's one of the few
Constants in my life.

Don't worry about it.

This baby's going to be fine.

Plenty to eat, nice clothes,
Good man around to call daddy.

I'm going to take care
Of all those things.

You worry about yourself
Because that's what you do best.

Dr. Benton!

How's the incision healing?

You shouldn't
Be back on your feet

For extended periods
Of time yet.

Did you finish that whole course
Of antibiotics?

You don't want
To develop resistance.

Peter,
How's the scar?

Is it itching yet?

I made
A rocky-davis incision

Running stitch,
Mcburney's point.

When the hair
Starts to grow back

That's when the itching
Gets worse.

You going to show us
Your scar, peter?

Come on,
Let's see.

Yeah, come on,
Let's take a look.

I did it one-handed,
You know.

Carter, what
Are you doing?

Come on,
Carter, stop.

You know, that's
Really a shame

'cause it's a great job.

Good thing I took pictures, eh?

( chuckling )

What is that,
A mole?

Yeah, a big one too.

Good morning,
Everybody.

What are you doing?

Ooh, yikes,
What is that?!

That's benton's appendix
In a jar on my mantel.

Wow, they really
Shaved him good.

Somebody
Got carried away.

Dr. Carter,
You're still backed up.

Okay, on my way.

Carter looks beat.

Yeah, he was on
Again last night.

Surgical interns
Are still covering

All dr. Gant's shifts.

What is that,
Like, a 90-hour week?

More like 95.

Thank god for pediatrics.

( heated conversation )

Jerry, what is
That all about?

Oh, nurses and management
Are still at the table.

Their contract expires
At midnight.

Mark, paramedics are pulling up
With a 35-year-old female--

Respiratory failure.

Duty calls.

Hey, lunch?

Only if you're buying.

Carol finds out today,
Right?

Yeah. The investigation
Is done

And nursing
Has the report.

You've seen it?

No. They haven't
Heard anything

On the grapevine either.

How's she doing?

She claims
She's fine.

Nothing yet.

They're still at it.

I do not want
To walk a picket line.

Not in february,
That's for sure.

Hey, we stand firm.

That's easy
For you to say.

You've got a husband
With a job.

Believe me,
They'll settle.

They can't run this place
Without us.

That's what the air
Traffic controllers said

Before they started
Parking cars for a living.

Paramedic:
One, two, three.

37-year-old
Downs patient.

Her mother found her in bed
In respiratory distress.

Resps shallow at 30.

B.P.'s 100/50.

She had
A respiratory infection

A couple weeks ago.

Where's the mother now?

Gathering some stuff.
Said she'd follow in her car.

Two-plus pitting edema.

Hi, louise.

I'm dr. Greene.

You having
A little trouble breathing?

Mm-hmm.

We'll make you
Feel better.

She's sweet.

Scared. Held my hand

All the way over.

Louise, can you tell me
What day it is?

No, you can't
Tell me?

No. Okay.

Dr. Doyle, take a listen

Tell me what you hear.

Chuny, come hold
Louise's hand.

You bet.

C.B.C. Lytes,
E.K.G., chest film

O2, six liters
By mask.

Hi, louise.

My name's chuny.

S3 gallop
And mitral regurg.

Indicating?

Possible cardiomyopathy.

Hey, mark, I think she's
Trying to say something.

Hey, louise.

Louise,
You need something?

Huh?

Louise,
What's wrong?

Where's my mom?

Your mom?

Y-your mom

Is coming real soon, okay?

Don't you worry.

So, you
Can just relax.

You're doing great.

Okay?

Human resources, carol,
Reviewed your incident report

In the e.R. Procedures

And they passed
Their recommendations

Along with mine,
Onto the safety committee.

And?

And they agreed with us
That your mistake

Was a result
Of systems problems

And not
Of negligence.

There will be
A written warning

Placed in your file
For one year

And the three weeks you missed
Due to your suspension

Will be deducted
From your vacation time.

And that's it?

You preferred a public flogging?

You can start
Back today.

You don't have
To start back today.

No, thanks, I'm okay.

I, uh,
I'd better get back to work.

La boheme?
Don't say it

Like it's a new
Strain of bacteria.

What is it,
Five hours long?

I wouldn't take you
Now if you begged me.

I've never been much
Of an opera fan.

Now, if you had
Marcus roberts tickets

I would be there
In a flash.

I got it, greg.

You don't want
To go. Fine.

Is la boheme the one
Where they, like

Lop off all the nuns'
Heads at the end?

It's set in paris.

They're star-crossed
Lovers and artists.

Look, I'm sorry.

If you really
Want to go...

Don't do me
Any favors, greg.

I-I'd love to go.

What time's it start?

I just thought
We could do something

Spontaneous,
Romantic, fun.

Opera?

I have to get back
To my patient.

Let's hang out
Anyway, okay?

Look, we'll
Order take-out.

The bulls/warriors
Game is on...

You think you're charming,
But you aren't.

Good-bye, greg.

Lunch then?

At least let me
Buy you lunch.

Hey, jeanie?!

Greene:
That's one big, boggy heart.

It's taking up
Most of her chest.

E.K.G. Shows s.T. And t wave
Changes and p.V.C.S.

What do you want to do?

Get an echo
And page cardiology.

Okay.

Mark,
Louise's mother's here.

Hi, mrs. Cupertino.

I'm dr. Mark greene.

How's louise?

Not good.

Her heart isn't
Pumping well

And her lungs are
Filling with fluid.

Can I say hello?

Yeah, sure.

Hello, louise.

It's mommy.

Hi, mommy.

You okay, baby?

You're not scared,
Are you?

Oh, baby...

I, uh, I brought
Some of her things

Uh, just to make her
Feel more at home.

I'll just put
This quilt on her.

Make sure
She's good and warm.

Mrs. Cupertino

Can I speak to you for a minute?

She had trouble
Understanding me earlier.

Can she communicate?

Oh, yes.

She likes to talk.

Is she suffering from
Any dementia or alzheimer's?

No, no, she's
A good girl.

Okay.

Echo's on its way.

Is she competent to make
Her own medical decisions?

No. I'm her guardian.

Louise can't make decisions
On her own.

You are aware
That louise's condition

Is very serious.

I'm worried that louise

May need a heart transplant.

Is she already on
The unos waiting list?

The list? No.

She's not?

They wouldn't do it.

Wouldn't do what?

Put her on
The list.

They wouldn't
Put louise

On the heart
Transplant list?

No.
Why not?

My daughter
Is mentally retarded, doctor.

Peter, sorry
To keep you waiting.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

We've missed you.

I was surprised
Not to see my name

On today's schedule
Anywhere.

How are you feeling?

Well rested?

Yeah.

And mentally?

Feeling sharp?

No post-operative
Depression?

No.

No depression of any kind?

Dr. Hicks, if you're asking

If I can perform my duties
Adequately, I can.

I'm asking how you are, peter.

( chuckles )

I'm fine.

Okay, then.

Let's see what we've got.

There's two portacaths,
A circumcision

And a nevus removal.

A mole?

Unos can't refuse to
Put her on the list

Just because
She has downs.

I'm sure there are other
Mitigating circumstances.

She's a retard, so
Why bother, right?

Dr. Kayson,
Do you know dr. Doyle?

Kayson:
Echo shows left
Ventricular dilatation

With an ejection fraction
Of 18%.

There are also signs of
Wall motion abnormality.

I'm worried
About her breathing.

We've given her 40 lasix,
And she's still struggling.

I'd like to try
A vasodilator.

Do whatever you can
To make her comfortable

Before you release her.

Release her?

Louise will be
Much happier

At home with
Her mother.

She needs
A heart transplant, right?

That would be the standard
Operative course, yes.

Louise's mother told us

That she's not on
The transplant list.

Unos can't refuse to put
A dying patient

On the list
Because of a defect.

Unos didn't refuse

To put her on the list.

We did.

Greene:
Cardiology?

Hospital transplant
Committee.

She was evaluated

And we chose not
To submit her name.

That's a death sentence.

She's a 37-year-old
Downs patient.

She's lucky to have lived

This long.

Downs patients can live
Into their 60s easy.

That's extremely rare.

What are you, an intern?

First-year resident, yes.

Why don't we
Just step in here?

Dr. Kayson

Dr. Doyle, I think

Is just expressing a frustration
That we probably all feel.

It seems that louise
Would be an obvious candidate

For the unos transplant list.

I'm a cardiologist.

I'd like nothing better
Than to give her a new heart.

If you have a problem
With the decision

Take it up with the rest
Of the committee.

Short of that...

Send her home.

Nice guy.

Yeah.

Carol? You back?

Yeah.

Thank you, jesus.

( chuckling )

Hey, y'all, carol's back.

Carol...!

You're back.

Yeah, starting now.

Man, did we miss you.

We didn't think we were
Going to make it.

Hi.

They dock your pay?

No, just some vacation time.

It's been a disaster
Around here without you.

A complete zoo.

Hey, I didn't do
That bad a job.

Oh, no, girlfriend,
You did worse than bad.

If you need to call
A union meeting

Do it after work.

No union--
Carol's back.

Oh, thank god.

We'll talk to you
At lunch.

We'll catch up later.

See you.

We're glad to
Have you back.

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah, you know

I'm sorry to disappoint
Everyone's expectations

But I'm fine.

Oh, it started a few hours ago
After breakfast.

It's a sharp pain?

No.

Sort of all over.

I just started
My morning walk.

Any recent illness?

I take digoxin
For atrial fibril...

I can never say that word.

Fibrillation?

Anything else?

No.

What did you have
For breakfast this morning?

Oh, the usual.

Three fried eggs, bacon,
Glass of buttermilk

Toast and jam.

Oh, the american heart
Association breakfast.

Don't lecture me, doctor.

My mother had the
Same breakfast

Every day
Of her life.

Died last year at 96.

Car accident.

Vitals?

130/90.

Heart rate 110,
Resps 24.

Did dr. Weaver get a c.B.C.?

Yep, crit's 53,
White count's 12.2.

You drinking enough fluids,
Mrs. Jarnowski?

Is that what's wrong?

( yawning )

It's too early to tell.

Um... Chest film?

Not back yet.

Okay, I'm going to call
For another surgical colleague

To come down and take a look.

Her breathing's improved.

Hi, louise.

You feeling better?

For you.

Oh...

She likes to share.

Malibu barbie was
My favorite, too.

I was kind of partial
To ken.

Ken?

You don't like ken?

Too pretty.

I'm with you, louise,
Ken's trouble.

Louise, can you hold on
To her for me

While I do my work?

Okay.

Thanks.

She misses her friends.

Since she got sick

And had to move
Back into the house

It's been hard
For her.

She had
Her own place?

Mm-hmm, an apartment
Above the garage

And she had a job
At the jewel

Helping people
With their groceries.

Father even let her

Be an altar girl
At the church.

Everybody loves louise.

Excuse me,
Dr. Greene?

Got that list from upstairs.

Thanks.

Transplant committee?

Yeah.

Who are the
Bastards?

Excuse us.

Doctor, your attitude
Can get in the way

Of achieving your goals.

What? You're not
Going to vote for me

For homecoming
Queen this year?

Like that,
You mean?

Recognize any names?

One.

Hey.

The vanquished
Return victorious.

Hi, doug.
You miss me?

You have no idea.

I hear they clipped you
For some vacation time.

I never take it anyway.

I have a couple
Of years saved up.

This place is a mess.

How you doing?

No complaints.

Today's the 20th,
Isn't it?

I think so.

Mcats are this afternoon,
Aren't they?

You going?

Got to work.

With all that saved-up
Vacation time?

You know, it was
A stupid idea.

I mean, four years
Of med school

If I ever get in.

All that debt.

I'd be about 50 by
The time I got out.

What's the point?

Well, I could
Bring you coffee

In the middle of the night
To the med library

And I could teach you
How to cheat

On the biochem exams.

Doug, they need you
Upstairs in pedes.

Mm-hmm, okay.

Think about it.

Where you been?

Getting some food.

Do you have a spoon?

Anspaugh's
With your patient.

Anspaugh? Why?

You paged him.

I paged dr. Hicks.

You got anspaugh

And he dragged down
The surgical res...

What do you hear?

Rales at the base
Of the lungs.

I'm sorry to have
Dragged you down here.

I actually
Called dr. Hicks

Just for a consult.

Dr. Hicks
Is in surgery

And we were prowling
For a teaching case.

Heard that you had
A surgical abdomen.

Yes, at least
That's my suspicion.

Pain vague and diffuse

Very little tenderness
To palpation.

The, uh, chest films
Show bi-basilar effusions.

Rales heard on auscultation.

Would you
Consider this

A surgical patient,
Dr. Edson?

No, I'd bet on c.H.F.

Yeah, yeah,
But, uh...

I was more concerned with...
With the c.B.C.

Previously diagnosed

Atrial fibrillation?

Her diet?

I'd assume that she, uh...

Went into fib,
Or ate a salty meal

And that was enough

To push her into
Congestive heart failure

As demonstrated by the rales
And chest effusions.

The diffuse abdominal pain
Is probably due to congestion

In the liver,
Secondary to c.H.F.

In other words,
Boys and girls

Congestive heart failure,
Secondary to a-fib.

Wouldn't you agree,
Dr. Carter?

Yeah, yeah,
That sounds about right.

Is dr. Pomerantz
Available?

And you are?

Mark greene
From the e.R.

She knows you?

Yeah, steph, I do.

It's okay. Hi.

Hi. You got a minute?

Just move those.

Put them anywhere.

What can I
Do for you?

You're on the committee

That evaluates prospective
Transplant patients.

Yeah.

I have a patient dying--
Louise cupertino.

Dr. Kayson tells me

She was denied access
To the unos list.

Kayson says he wanted to do it

So it doesn't sound
Like she was excluded

For medical reasons.

What do you want, mark?

There are five people
On the committee.

Kayson's a "Yes."

If I can get you
And one other to sign on

Louise can get a new heart.

Our decisions must
Be unanimous.

But I'm the one that
Turned louise down.

Why?

Do you know how many
People die each year

Because an organ doesn't
Become available?

3,500.

She had a job, an apartment,
A mother who loves her.

Is her life somehow
Less valuable

Than a businessman
With a wife and kids

And a two-pack-a-day
Cigarette habit?

Don't patronize me.

I agonized over this.

Louise has an I.Q. Of 40.

She can't comprehend
The surgical risks.

Yeah, she had a job, sure,
But she was always late.

Do you know why?

She doesn't know
How to tell time.

How will she adhere
To the rigors

Of the post-transplant regime?

Her mother
Will make sure

She gets her meds

Get her where
She needs to go.

She's a 120-pound
Eight-year-old.

We do the operation, and
Assuming she doesn't die

For lack of
Post-operative care

She's in a state home
In two years

And her mother is adamant
She not end up in a home.

( exhaling )

Those are all bureaucratic
Perfectly logical reasons

We give ourselves so that
We can sleep at night.

Louise can make
People smile.

She can laugh, cry,
Touch or hold someone.

I have an eight-year-old

And if she never grew
A day older

I would still cherish
Every moment we spent together.

It's not our place to decide
Whether louise lives or dies.

She has as much right to be here
As you do or I do.

Nina, don't let her die.

I thought
You liked picnics?

I not used to breathing
On my sandwich

To thaw it out
So I can eat it.

Where's your sense
Of spontaneity?

This isn't what I meant.

Your sense of romance?

The dip is frozen.

It's pate.

It's a brick.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

You're very romantic.

You're very spontaneous

And you're very crazy.

So put your parka on
Before you freeze to death.

I'm fine.

You can't be fine.
It's ten degrees.

I think we should
Start sleeping together.

What?

Sex.

I think we
Should have some.

In fact, I think
We should have a lot.

Are you sure?

Hell, yeah, I'm sure.

This isn't a joke, greg.

No, it isn't.

Jeanie boulet...

Would you please sleep with me?

Hi. How's she doing?

Her breathing's worse.

The resps up to 36.

How's the pain?

It hurts.

Bad.

Hi. Who are you?

Her daughter, yolanda.

She's so stoic

If she says it hurts,
It must be awful.

Okay, let's take a look.

Oh, god!

Ooh.

Uh... Okay.

I need to order a repeat c.B.C.
And a blood gas.

Should we page
Dr. Anspaugh?

No. God, no.

Uh, call dr. Hicks.

Don't page her;
Call her

And when you get her
On the phone

Tell her that I need her
Down here right away.

My fiance's been begging me
For years

To get this thing taken off.

Betadine.

I'm not very religious,
But her family...

Oh, boy

They wouldn't even consider
Letting us get married

If I didn't convert.

Whoa!

Whoa.

Stuff's cold.

I probably wouldn't
Have started dating her

If I'd known this would
Be part of the deal.

Lidocaine. You'll
Feel a small prick

In the area
I'm going to anesthetize.

Please, do not move.

Hicks:
Good, you haven't
Started yet.

I have three
Eager students

Visiting today
From evanston.

I thought they might
Enjoy watching you

Perform a circumcision.

Don't mind us, sir.

I'm converting to judaism
For my fiance.

She must be quite a girl.

You got a call from the e.R.

Peter, make them

Feel welcome.

You're in very
Capable hands.

( sighs )

Number 15 blade.

I'm dr. Ross from the e.R.

Someone page me?

I paged you.

Hi. Samantha ewing.

I got a c.F.
Kid up here.

Jad heuston. Know him?

Yeah.

He's been on respirator

Last couple of weeks
At his mother's request.

I know. I'm the one
Who put him on it.

Yeah, well, today's
His 18th birthday

And he wants off.

So why page me?

He wants you to be
The one to do it.

Hello.

Hi, norma.
Hi, katy.

Happy birthday, jad.

Ewing:
Jad's first act
As an adult

Was to sign a d.N.R.

And demand we remove him
From the respirator.

I've explained
The dangers

But he's insistent.

You still sure?

I've explained to him

That with the advanced nature
Of his disease

And the time
He's been on the machine

He's unlikely to live
More than a couple minutes.

I hope you might
Talk him out of it.

What's his tidal volume?

350. Pco2 38

Po2 120.

This is what
You really want?

Okay, then.

You said your good-byes?

Yes.

Okay.

All right, buddy.

You know the
Drill, right?

I'm going to count to three.

And you're going to take
A deep breath

And blow out while I pull.

Can you give me a hand

With this, please?

I love you.

All right, here we go, buddy.

Okay, on three.

Ready?

One, two

Three... Blow!

Blow, blow, blow.

Okay.

( coughing and gagging )

Ewing:
Jad, you okay?

He's breathing.

Is he going to be okay?

Does that mean
He's going

To be all right?

Hicks:
Good afternoon, doctor.

What could be
So important

To call me off
The surgical floor?

64-year-old woman

Onset of abdominal pain
Five hours ago.

Pain was vague and diffuse.

Belly wasn't too tender.

She takes digoxin

For a previously diagnosed
Atrial-fib.

Rales, chest x ray

Show basilar infiltrates
Bilaterally.

Dr. Anspaugh came down
For a consult

And he diagnosed
Congestive heart failure

With diffuse
Abdominal pain

Due to congestion
Of the liver

Secondary to the c.H.F.

We gave her 40 of lasix.

That's a good story.

What's the problem?

I think dr. Anspaugh's wrong.

Page dr. Anspaugh,
Please.

He's still eating
Lunch in the lounge.

Get him. Quickly.

You have
A better story?

Mm-hmm. Her abdominal pain
Is worsening.

Her resps are up to 39
And she's acidotic.

On arrival,
She was dehydrated.

So why fluid on her lungs?

The pain isn't explained
By congestive heart failure.

Doesn't add up.

Hicks:
And what is
Your thinking?

I'm thinking
That she's suffering

From atrial fibrillation

Which puts her at risk
For clots.

And she threw an embolus

And it's blocking
Her small valve.

What the hell
Is going on?

Dr. Carter believes
You misdiagnosed this patient.

He what?

Her pain is worsening

Her resps are up to 39
And she's acidotic.

C.H.F. Made sense
At the time

But I believe she has

Ischemic
Small bowel disease

Secondary to an embolism
In the mesenteric artery.

Good story,
Don't you think?

Damn it!

I diuresed her.

Normal saline,
200cc's.

Call the o.R., book a room.

We're moving her right now.

What's happening?

She needs
Surgical attention.

An operation?

Yes, but she's going

To be just fine.

Dr. Anspaugh,
Can I assist?

Assist? You're
Going to do it.

Perform an embolectomy?

You're damn right.

You're the only one
Around here today

That seems to know
What the hell they're doing.

It's going to fall.

It's not.

Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

Hmm.

She looks like
She's feeling better.

Yeah. She ate
A little bit.

Seems to be
Breathing okay.

Who's her friend?

That's my brother.

I had my mom
Bring him down.

I figured louise
Could use some company.

Hey, jimmy.

Say hi to dr. Greene.

Hey, dr. Greene.

Hi, jimmy.
How are you?

What'd they say?

Good.

Come here.

Psych feels that
She's incapable

Of handling a
Post-op regime

And they don't think

The mother's going to
Be around long enough

To get her through it.

That's a lot of crap.

She could go
To a group home.

Jimmy takes classes

And they have
A great program.

Mom doesn't want her
In a home

And she has
Guardianship.

I've called loyola and rush.

They both have

Transplant centers.

Maybe we could get them
To get her on the list.

( knocking )

Mark?

Dr. Doyle, this is
Dr. Pomerantz from psych.

She's the one who
Evaluated louise.

Hi, louise.

How are you doing?

Mrs. Cupertino.

She's doing better.

She's out of
Heart failure.

You need to fill
This out.

What is it?

Transplant candidate
Registration.

I can't get her
On the network without it.

Kayson filled out
Most of it

But I need today's history
So I can rank her.

So you have to get this
Back to me

As soon as you can, okay?

Nice meeting you,
Doctor.

Nina?

Thank you.

Jad... Why don't you
Come and go?

You take off during the day.

You do whatever you want to do
And you come back at night.

We hook you up
With I.V. Antibiotics.

We get p.T. To
Pound your chest
In the morning.

No, thanks.

You'd be a lot more comfortable.

You might even...
You know, squeak out

A couple extra weeks
Out of this thing.

I said, no, thanks.

All right.

This is my beeper number.

That is my
Home number.

You call me anytime

Day or night,
All right?

Let's go.

Thanks.

Where are you going?

Anywhere but here.

Whoa!

Sorry, dr. Ross.

I raided the cafeteria.

Bought every piece
Of cake they had.

Ladies, here's your cake!

( women yelling )

What's going on?

The nurses got
Their new contracts.

Did they get everything
They asked for?

Current employees
Are protected

But the hospital won the right
To replace existing r.N.S

With unlicensed technicians
Through attrition.

Technicians?

It's the wave
Of the future.

Come on,
Doctor, dance.

No. No, thank you.

I'll get the next song.
I'll get the next song.

Have you seen carol?

Hathaway?

She changed her mind
About working today.

Went home before lunch.

Want a piece of cake?

No, thanks.

I just dropped off
All the paperwork

With nina pomerantz.

Louise will be
On the list tomorrow.

All we have to do
Is wait and hope.

Where's your brother?

In the lounge,
Watching tv.

She won't sign
The release.

Louise's mother--

She won't sign
The surgical release.

Kayson was just down here.

She doesn't want her
To have the transplant.

Kayson explained to her

She'll die
Without the operation?

Twice. Then I tried.

She wants
To take her home.

Ms. Cupertino...

You don't want louise
To have the operation?

Cupertino:
I was, uh, 41

When louise was born

And I knew right away
That something was wrong.

I couldn't see louise,
But I could see the doctor.

He was frowning and
Snapping his fingers

Over the little bassinet.

And, uh, they took her away

Before I ever got
A chance to see her

And I thought
Maybe she'd died.

Maybe that umbilical
Cord had gotten wrapped

Around her neck.

Nobody told me
Anything, and then...

Then they put me
In another room

With mothers
With their babies

And I waited
There for hours...

Until the doctor
Finally came back and...

He looked very sad.

And he told me
Louise was mongoloid.

And he said
That I should put her

In a state hospital
And never, ever see her again.

She will die

If she doesn't have
This operation.

We all die, doctor.

Louise has been

The light of my life
For 37 years.

God blessed me
With this... This wonderful girl

And I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm not going to be here
Much longer, and...

I'm her whole life, just
As she's always been mine.

There are group homes--

Places where she can
Make friends

Enjoy life, even if it's only
For a few more years.

I went to a home 20 years ago.

When my husband died

And I was afraid
That if something happened to me

Who would, who would
Take care of louise?

And there were women there
Like her with downs...

Wandering around half-naked.

They didn't even know
Their own names.

I couldn't put louise
In a place like that.

You want to save
People, doctor?

If my daughter dies, you lose.

But I'm not afraid of death.

Jesus is there waiting for us

To hold us and bring us
Into the light

To show us
The kingdom of heaven.

And if louise
Dies before I do

I know where I'll see her next,
With angels where she belongs

Because she's an angel...

My angel.

Something new?

Mesenteric embolectomy.

Who's doing it?

Dr. Carter.

Dr. Carter?

Just rolled the woman
Into three.

Sweet god in heaven

I hope somebody's helping him.

Benton:
We're putting in a portacath,
A catheter used

To deliver chemotherapy.

Should you pursue
A career in surgery

You'll perform this procedure
Dozens of times

In your first year
Of residency.

And this can be done
In the patient's room

But you need to check
The position of the catheter

With the fluoroscope.

Does everyone know

What a fluoroscope is?

This is a fluoroscope.

Can I steal debbie?

We can use her in o.R. Three.

What's going on?

Dr. Carter's performing
A mesenteric embolectomy.

By himself?

Anspaugh and hicks
Are supervising.

What's the score?

Bulls are down by one.

Oh, that was a nice shot.

So, I let a kid

With c.F.
Leave the hospital today.

He's 18 years old.

Went off to die
With his girlfriend.

Didn't want
Any of my help.

Is there anything you
Could have done for him?

No. Not really.

I spent the day

Trying to get
A c.H.F. Patient

With downs on
The unos list

For heart transplant.

Any luck?

Mother wouldn't sign
The surgical release.

Fine couple of doctors
We are, huh?

Remember when we were going
To change the world?

No. I was always in it
For the money.

( both chuckle )

All right.

I'll see you later.

You want to grab a pizza?

No. I can't.

I got to be someplace.

Anybody I know?

No. Just helping out
An old friend.

See ya.

Are you ready to go?

Go where?

Dinner at morton's
And then la boheme.

I already told kerry

That we couldn't use
The tickets.

I told her
You were wrong.

But I'm not dressed.

We'll stop by
Your place.

We'll be late.

You can tell me
What happened.

What about
The basketball game?

Taping it.

You know, greg

You don't have
To prove anything.

I don't?

I mean, this has all
Been pretty fast.

You know, we can slow it down,
Make sure it's right.

So, this means we
Don't have to go

To the opera.

No. Seriously.

Can we just slow it down?

Sure.

Okay.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Waiting for you.

You been waiting long?

Ah, a while.

Ah...

So you took it,
Didn't you?

Ha-ha, yeah, I did.

And?

( sighs )

Well, I knew a lot more
Than I thought I would.

There were a lot of people
Taking it-- kids.

I felt about
A hundred years old.

( chuckles )

They all seemed
So confident and smart.

I guessed a lot.

I bet you did great.

Thanks.

Was your day okay?

Ah, you know...

Just saving lives,
As usual.

Have you seen my mom
Lurking around here at all?

No. I banged
On the door

And nobody
Answered, so...

Well, you want to come in?

I'll make you some coffee,
Burn some eggs.

No. I can't.

I'm up early.
I'm going to go home.

Okay.

See you tomorrow, then.

Yeah.

Doug?

Mm-hmm?

I know everyone's
Worried about me

But I'm fine.

I mean, I was scared
In that store

But I'm okay now.

So why'd you go ahead
And take it?

The mcats?

Mm-hmm.

For me.

Just wanted to see
If I was good enough.

You are.

( snickers )

I love this place.

You should.

You're a wonderful
Surgeon.

You belong here.

You know, you were right
This morning.

I haven't slept much
The last few months

Since gant's dying.

And before that,
Me almost killing that baby

And then keaton
Not recommending me, and...

( scoffs )

Six months ago
I thought I was invincible.

And now I don't even...

I don't even know.

I guess life isn't working out
The way I thought it would, huh?

You're not responsible

For dr. Gant's
Death, peter.

Yeah, but I could have
Stopped it, maybe.

You know, told him
He was doing well--

Encouraged him.

You know, dr. Hicks

I wish I could tell you
That it was all intentional--

That it was a part
Of some master plan

That I had going on, but...

Truthfully, I never even
Thought about gant.

I mean, he was just
An intern

And I was more involved
With my career, my... Ambitions.

We all have to find
Our own way, peter.

You're not invincible.

You're a young doctor,
Learning, making mistakes

Saving lives.

It takes a lifetime.

You just have
To have faith.

Go home.

You got a busy
Day tomorrow.

( snorts )

More circumcisions
And portacaths?

No. I've signed you up
For a lap-chole at 6:00

And I'd appreciate it

If you'd assist me
On a splenectomy

At 11:00.

Thank you, dr. Hicks.

You're welcome, peter.

See you in the morning.
