Yeah, 2.0, verify
venous air embolism, please.

Verified. There is a greater
than 75% chance of mortality

or catastrophic outcome.

Address immediately.

I don't know, maybe the damn
thing's hallucinating again.

Yeah.

BP's just a tad low. 85/49.

Hey, we need to finish this surgery.

- Get this kid off the table.
- No, hold on.

Lower his head. Place
a precordial doppler

and set up for a transesophageal echo.

Crockett.

An air embolism could kill him.

We have to know what we're dealing with.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[SOFT RUMBLING]

That sound from the doppler...

it's air bubbles.

Yeah, I think when we
drilled into the bone,

it got sucked into the vascular system

directly to the heart. [MACHINE BEEPING]

BP is dropping more now.

65/33.

And heart rate, too, at 36.

There it is.

Significant air bubbles.

Yeah, they're embolizing
into the pulmonary artery,

causing right heart strain.

Yeah, 2.0 was correct.

Marty, give the kid 100% O2
and bag him up.

Coming.

But I'm having trouble
ventilating and oxygenating.

- 80% sat.
- Confirmed.

Critically significant hypoxia
and poor systemic perfusion.

We're gonna have to suction
the air out of the kid's heart.

Give me the Swan-Ganz catheter.

Seeing ST segment changes on EKG.

Got about a minute before
complete cardiac collapse.

We're gonna float the existing cordis
right into the pulmonary artery.

Vitals are tanking.

- Systolics in the 40s.
- Get a crash cart.

In the right ventricle. Balloon up.

Balloon's up. Go ahead.

Okay, advancing.

Any day now, Crockett.

Almost.

Okay, I'm in the pulmonary artery.

Audrey?

- Thank you.

Poor Harris.

He works so hard to stay well.

It's a rough illness.

I wish more people saw it that way
and not as some kind of failing.

Your husband's one of the
rare ones who understands.

He was always so good to our son.

There was a time that Harris
had to be hospitalized.

Michael was so scared and upset,

and Mr. Ben really
helped him through it.

Made him see that people can
get sick in different ways.

And that his daddy was gonna be okay.

He will be, Audrey.

He will be.

That was nice...
what she said about Ben.

Yeah, to tell you the truth, Doris,

I really don't wanna hear about Ben.

Okay.

Hey, Doris, what's happening
with the hamster?

No one wants it.
I called animal control.

Dean, I saw tomorrow's
surgical schedule.

Looks like you're getting
that transplant.

Yeah.

Dr. Charles.

Judith's CT showed an acute
subdural hematoma.

Her doctor has her on blood thinners,
so it could get worse.

- So she needs surgery?
- Yeah.

Thing is, she's refusing treatment.

Says she wants to die.

She's suicidal.

We could hold her?

Uh, we could.

But let me, um,
let me have a chat first.

Yeah.

Judith, I'm Dr. Charles.

We, uh, we met earlier today.

I don't know if you remember that.

I am being told that you don't want us

to treat your hematoma.

It's just important for me
that I know that you understand

that, if left untreated,
that it could kill you.

I don't deserve to live.

[CRYING]

Okay.

Can I ask you a question?

If somebody that you knew
and that you cared about

were in exactly the same situation,

is that what you'd say to them?

Would you say that
they didn't deserve to live?

I mean, I... I don't think so.

I mean, you wouldn't, would you?

What you'd say to them, probably, is...

"It wasn't your fault."

But this was my fault.

I hit the brakes, and the car
just started spinning,

and I crashed first,

and then all of the other cars
started to crash behind me.

If it hadn't been for me,

none of this would have happened.

You hit some black ice.
It was an accident.

You didn't hurt all
those people on purpose.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]

One of the hardest moments in life

is when we figure out

how little control we actually have

over the things
that happen to us, right?

But... but what we can control
is how we respond to them.

And I just know that with a little time,

clarity will come, you know?

And maybe, just maybe, you might even

get around to doing
one of the hardest things

that a human being can learn
how to do, which is...

to forgive yourself.

But if you don't...

let us help you, there's just no chance
that that's gonna happen.

So would you let us help you?

Okay.

Okay, Brice, squeeze my hands for me.

Good. Good.

Can you wiggle your feet back and forth?

Okay, now stick your tongue

I think your son's gonna be fine.

- Thank you.

Oh?

Haldol, Zyprexa...

You know, we had to protect them.

Chemical restraints.

They worked.

Couldn't pee, either.
