All language subtitles for St Denis Medical s01e02 A Very Robust Personal Life.eng

- OK, folks,
say hello to Mr. Owens.

He is a father of three.

Had a little fender-bender
this morning,

so we'll be repairing
his right femur.

First,
let's take a deep breath in,

step into a space of gratitude,
and get in the zone.

[clears throat]

[Beastie Boys'
"Intergalactic" playing]

Mm-hmm.
That's it.

This feeling.

?

Come on.

There it is, for Mr. Owens.

Oh, yeah.
[chuckles]

- It's not that his moves
are bad.

It's just--
- Three surgeries.

I've done the math.

We could perform
three more surgeries a week

if he would just stop

doing whatever that is.

- ? I am known to do the Wop
- ? Wop!

? Also known
for the Flintstone Flop ?

? Flop!

- ? Tammy D gettin' biz
on the crop ?

- ? Crop!

? Beastie Boys know
to let the beat ?

? Mmm, drop

[upbeat energetic music]

?

- I know he seemed like a nice
young man, and that hurts.

- Hey, Alex,
I'm going to need you to--

- I'm so sorry.
It's my mother-in-law.

Can you give me
just one second?

Sorry.

Wait, you gave him your social?

Cindy, no.

- Oh, no.

Someone is on a
personal call at work.

You'd better wrap it up
right now.

[chuckles]

I'm kidding.
Take all the time you need.

Today, I have my big
quarterly call with the board,

and I want to run my spiel
past Alex.

But she is on
a personal call, so.

- You know, I'm going
to call you back.

- A big steel wall.

That is what you need to have

between your personal life
and your professional life.

Outside, go crazy.

I have a very robust
personal life.

I play the marimba,

which means weekly lessons
and recitals.

I've got my knots.

I love my knots.

I am a bone broth-er

and a mugger.

Meaning I make mugs.

I don't steal from people.

But there is personal life
and business life,

and never the two shall meet.

- No sign of fracture.

With some rest,

you should be back on your feet
in a few days.

- Great.

I'm a personal trainer,
so feet kind of help.

- Oh, I had a personal trainer
once.

- Hmm.

- I almost lasted
the full hour.

- Come on.
You look pretty fit to me.

- This happens sometimes.

The patient is vulnerable,

I start tossing around terms
like collateral ligaments,

and, boom,

they catch feelings.

Of course, I'd never act on it.

Wouldn't be right.

But it is nice.

- This all looks great.

Um, one thing
I do want to flag.

I noticed you used the word
"dynamism" like six times.

So--
- Cool, isn't it?

I got it from
"Dwell" magazine.

- Mm.
- Dynamism.

Oh, I love a good buzz word.

- [chuckling]
- I love it.

It just makes me feel so...
[notification chimes]

Uh.
- Sorry, this is just--

my mother-in-law
got scammed by this guy

who was claiming
to be an IRS agent,

but he wants the money
in all Home Depot gift cards.

So she's just,
like, this high-needs

person that I have to, like--
- OK, so I'm going to--

I'm going to stop you
right there

because that sounds like
a personal matter.

And we, Alex...

- Mm.
- Look at--look around.

We're at work.

Huh?
- Yeah, I know.

- Do not disturb.

- Well, it's on do not disturb.

But, you know,
sometimes life creeps in

no matter what, right?

So--
- Alex is busy.

[nails tapping]
Do not bother her at work.

- Now that I'm a supervisor,

I'm getting a lot more

one-on-one time with Joyce,

which, um,

rules, you know,
but it does mean that

we're having to establish
a new working relationship.

You know, like, as colleagues.

And that's--
that's taking some time.

- Hey, Val.

The patient in four
is hooked up to a respirator,

but he's got a sheet
over his head.

Is that, like,
a sleep hack or--

- Oh, he passed away
this morning.

The ultimate sleep hack.

- He's an organ donor,
so we have to

keep his heart beating until
the procurement crew comes.

- Organ donor?

That's kinda...

gross.

- Is it?

I'm a donor.
- Pretty sure most people are.

- Most people?
Really?

- Yeah.
Kind of weird not to be one.

- Organ donation
is frowned upon where I'm from

but I think I need
to reconsider

because I have people here
thinking I'm weird.

And you don't want the girl
you like--

uh, you don't want a woman

who you work
with professionally

to think that you're weird.

Or Val.

- "Why do I do what I do"
is a question you might ask.

Well, it's not just about the
thousands of lives that I save.

It's about their families,
their friends.

You see, I heal them,

they heal the world.

So...

I don't know.
You do the math.

Come on, I'll show you
what I mean.

Hey.
This is Mr. Williams.

And we are going
to fix his pelvis,

get him back in action.

Get him back to, uh--
what do you do for a living?

- I foreclose on people who
can't pay their mortgages.

- Uh-huh. Oh.

But, you know, it's probably
a bunch of greedy investors

who got over their skis,
am I right?

- Oh, no.

Those guys have shell companies
and lawyers.

It's too messy.
I like couples and families.

It's a lot cleaner.

- Good.

We'll find a better one.

I don't think so.

- So remember how

we were talking about
organ donation earlier?

Well, did some research.

Turns out it's awesome.

I don't know why
it ever bothered me.

I guess it's four main things.

Obviously, the afterlife risks.

- The what?

- You know, like,
if I get into heaven,

I don't want to be
a giant Swiss cheese man.

All my favorite foods just
glooping out of me or whatever.

Sorry.

- So you're filled with holes.

SpongeBob is filled with holes.
You don't see him complaining.

- That's true. I did not
think about SpongeBob.

- You know, once I'm dead,
do whatever you want to me.

Make me into a scarecrow.

Use me as a sandbag
to stop floods.

I truly don't care.

- I do.

Someone better take my skin.

This is an investment
of time and money

that cannot go to waste.

- I call dibs.

Give me your skin!

That was a joke, obviously.

- Hey,

You know that sprained ankle
in 12?

I think somebody has
a crush on me.

- In 12?

- Hey, act like
you've been there.

- You think
she has a crush on you?

- In what world?

- Why not?
- No, no, no, no.

You're right.

Hot 20-somethings are
obsessed with old dudes

who love talking
about World War II.

- A, I'm more concerned

with the events leading up
to World War II.

And B, I know when someone
is flirting with me.

- She's probably just
trying to get opioids.

- That's what it is.

- Or maybe she just has
really low self-esteem.

Ever think of that?

- Thank you, Matthew.

- No problem.

- The entire board's
going to be on this call,

so please, let's triple-check
your intake numbers.

- Already done.

I love a quadruple check.
- Mm, same.

Harriet?

Joyce.

Henderson.

- Oh, Joyce.
[Joyce chuckles]

Right, you're one
of Alan's students.

- Yeah.

Harriet is married
to my marimba teacher, Alan.

- Nice to--marimba?

- Well, you wouldn't
know anything about that

because, you know, separation.

But Alan is a genius.

- Alan collapsed this morning.

He's gone.

I need to fill out some forms.

- Joyce, I'm so sorry.

Are you OK?

- Yeah.

Back to work.

Lot of stuff to do.

- Your immune system needs
those germs to practice on.

[both laugh]

- You're so funny!

- Full disclosure,

that was actually
George Carlin.

But I think I told it well.

- Is that a friend of yours?

- Yep.

Anyway, um, ibuprofen
for pain--

- I hope this doesn't

break doctor-patient
confidentiality or whatever,

but, um...

are you single?

- Hmm.

Am I single?
- Mm-hmm.

- Yes, I am.

But I make a policy of--

- Because I really want to set
you up with my grandmother.

- [stifled laughter]

- You guys would
be so cute together.

- OK, bring it on.

Let's do this.

Dr. Ron is old and delusional.

Come on, I can take it.

- I don't know what
you're talking about.

- Yeah, you're being paranoid.

- Right, whatever.

- Well, don't look,

but there's a total smokeshow
checking you out right now.

Oh, here she comes.

You guys would
be so cute together.

[Val chuckles]

- So what's on
your mind, Matthew?

- Oh, just
a quick surgery question.

Um, if I were an organ donor,
would you, like,

kind of try less hard
to save me

so you could, you know,
use my organs?

- [chuckles]

That's--[clears throat]

That is a funny question.

Actually, a dumb one
because no, no, no, no,

that would be a huge violation
of the Hippocratic oath.

- Oh.
OK, cool.

Uh, I was just worried it'd
be too tempting to let me die.

- Tempting?
How?

- Well, I mean,
I'm just one little life

but if I died, you know,
somebody would get my lungs,

my kidneys, my heart.

I mean, you would save,
like, a dozen extra people.

- Yes--no.
No, no, no, no.

That's--it doesn't, uh--

I heal patients,
they heal the world.

End of story.

- Yeah,
but think about that times 12.

- Would you do me a favor
and get out of my office?

- Sure.
- Great.

- OK, on goes the day.

Whoo!
Stella!

Stella Bella!
Hey, girl.

[chuckles]

? I'm excited to be here

[tapping toes]
So is everybody else.

Raj!

Mm, mm, mm!

I'm going to beat
you senseless!

I got your start paperwork.
Thank you.

Boom!
[laughs]

Alex!

There she is,
giving it her all.

- It's like that thing
I was saying earlier, though,

you know?

Sometimes life
just kind of creeps in.

Not that I'm saying
I told you so.

I would never.
[chuckles]

I mean, I did say that earlier.
But, you know, who cares?

[chuckles]

- Dr. Leonard?

Hey, I want you
to meet my grandma.

- Oh, God.
- It's happening!

- Hello, Lisa's grandma.

- Nice meeting you.

And most people my age
just call me Barb.

- Well, what should
I call you then?

Kidding!

- Oh!
[chuckles]

- He's kidding.
He's your age.

- It's not about
how old you are.

It's about how old you feel.

I feel 30,
so if I date a woman who's 50,

then that's almost weird
on her end.

- And I heard
you're a big pickleballer.

I'm obsessed.
I play every day.

- You guys
should play sometime.

- Well, maybe.

But I'm more into
the extreme sports.

Muay Thai, base jumping,

and that, uh, thing
you do in the squirrel suit.

- Since when?

- A while now.

- Interesting.

- You know, if there were
one word to describe my life,

it would be adrenaline.

- Mm.

- That is hot.

Excuse me.

- Matt, what are you doing?

You just taking in the sights?
[chuckles]

- Sorry, I, uh,
I was just on break

and I went down to the OR

to watch them
take the organs out of that guy

who died here this morning.

And--
- Oh, yeah.

You mean Alan.

- I mean, I guess
he looked like an Alan.

Kind of hard to tell
without the eyes.

They were just scooping
out of this guy.

It was like one of
those "Saw" movies

I've accidentally
seen the posters for.

It was like he was
a used pi�ata,

but there was no candy.

- Shut up.

Shut up.

Just stop talking.

- Yeah.
- All right?

- Here's what it is.

Patients are like dandelions, yeah?

And surgeons, well,
we're the children who...

[blows air]

Send those seeds
back out into the world

so that new life can grow.

- Finally,
a white [bleep] doctor.

- OK, nope, nope.
Do not use that.

Uh-uh.
Go, go, go, go.

[mutters]

- Hey, Joyce.
[chuckles softly]

You want some
peanut butter crackers?

Grieving people always
seem to go for these, so.

- Oh.
No, thank you.

- Look,
I understand if you don't want

to open up with someone
at work.

But what I do when
I'm feeling overwhelmed

is I go into
the janitor's closet,

and I just cry for, like,
five minutes.

And I really think
you should try that.

- Not necessary,
and frankly, inappropriate.

I will work
until the day is done,

and then I will go home
and cry in my own closet.

- You probably don't need
the closet if you're at home.

But, you know,
message received.

Uh, do you want these?

- Those crackers are
for the sad.

Throw them out.

- I mean, I'll just eat them.
I don't think--

- In the trash.

[Alex sighs]

[indistinct PA announcement]

[sighs]

[groans softly]

[whimpers softly]

[sobbing]

- The skin on your arms
needs to heal, all right?

So I wouldn't longboard
for a couple weeks.

I mean,
I wouldn't longboard ever.

But that's more

my own personal judgments
coming into it.

- Nurse Alex Mazurkian,
report to my office now.

This is Joyce.

- Hey.

- You said cry
for five minutes, and I did.

And now it is so much worse.

- Oh--
- It is so much worse.

My call is now

and all I can think of
is Alan, Alan, Alan,

dead, dead, dead.

- OK, OK.

Well, that's--
that's normal, all right?

Just--just get on there

and tell them
that your friend died, OK?

They're going to understand if
you're having a personal issue.

- Uh, no.

I am the leader.

If I seem weak, those jackals
will just rip me apart.

They will literally
bite into my flesh.

No.

- Joyce, did you eat those
out of the trash?

- Different ones.

Those are from somewhere else.

- You're seriously not
going to ask the lady out?

She's cute.

- Sure, a lot of ancient stuff
is cute.

Stonehenge,
the Dead Sea scrolls.

I don't want
to date them either.

- I'm sorry, isn't
she almost exactly your age?

- You know, I dated
an older woman once.

Online.

Well, she said she was
an older woman,

but turned out
to be a much older man.

- Why is it still a thing that
men can date women way younger,

but dating a slightly
older woman is, like, gross?

- No, I didn't say
it was gross.

It's just not my thing.

- Because
you won't give it a chance.

- We didn't, uh,
do anything, by the way.

I mean, I didn't.

I don't know what happened
on his end.

- Serena, leave Ron alone.

- Thank you.

- It's too late
for him to evolve.

He's brainwashed because

he grew up in a time
before modern ideas.

- Can we not?

- I'm defending you!

- I'm not just going
to ask some woman out

to prove that I've evolved.

- You know what?

You're the one who's
going to miss out, so.

- Hey!
Here they are.

[sighs]
So, question.

Do you guys ever wonder why
the hell we even do this job?

- I'm not missing out
on anyone.

I date plenty.

My last girlfriend was 42,
and she and I got along great.

But then she wanted
to go back to grad school

and get her masters.

And before that
was a 39-year-old.

But she wanted to have kids
and been there, done that.

[clears throat]

Then it was a 35-year-old.

And she was...

just loud.

She was too loud.

Hmm.

- OK, Medicare revenue is up.

Legal claims are down.

Tchaikovsky is playing
on the hold music.

And that was Alan's favorite.

- Joyce, just tell them, OK?

Let the wall down.
It'll be fine, I promise.

- That is the worst idea
I've ever heard.

Stop it!

[phone beeps]
- OK, we're all here.

Joyce, how are you doing?

- I'm good.

I'm great.

How are you doing?

[chuckling]
Are you OK? You good?

Because we've got some
exciting projections here.

Really good ideas, and, um--

- [softly] Tell them.

- All right. Um, let me
circle back to something.

No, I am not OK.

I'm, uh--

I'm a little upset.

Someone very close to me
passed away this morning.

- I'm so sorry.

- Oh, Joyce,
that's really hard.

- He was my mentor
and my friend and my teacher.

And...

hey, was I a little bit
in love with him?

Yeah.
Yeah, I was.

I was.

- Lisa will be just a minute.

She's picking up
her prescription.

- Sounds good.

- John Grisham?
Now we're talking.

- My kids tease me, but the man
just knows what he's doing.

- Can I admit something to you?

I prefer Grisham's later work.

- Thank you.

- And I think
my boyfriend Sanderson

kind of felt that connection.

- Joyce--

- He's my ex,
but we're talking again.

- It's really--
- Meaning I'm doing

all the talking,
and he's doing what he does,

which is shut me out.

- OK, why don't we just--

- So after
a very dynamic quarter,

our revenue for Medicare
patients is up 2.9%.

- Great.
- Great.

- That is great.

- Yes, I'd also like to say,
my relationship with Alan

never crossed any lines.
- [sighing] OK.

- I feel like I've painted
a really sordid picture here.

But it was never sexual.

Never sexual.
- Oh, OK.

- Yes!

- Oh, but if and when
you get to Santorini,

you have to try
the grilled octopus.

- Oh, wait, I thought it wasn't
cool to eat octopus anymore.

Wasn't there that documentary?

- Oh, isn't there
always a documentary?

- I said that.
- [chuckles]

- I mean, if it's dumb enough
to wind up on my plate,

I'm going to eat it.
[laughter]

So...

do you think you'd like
to go out sometime?

- Absolutely.

I just didn't know
if you were interested

since I don't
jump off of cliffs and--

- Oh, sometimes you've just got
to say what the hell, right?

- What does that mean?

- Well, I just--

I'm saying that I'm usually--

uh, I usually don't date

a--a woman who is as mature--

that's a bad word, no.

Um...

as seasoned.

That's a better word, right?

- Are you sure?

- Yeah. I mean, yeah.

I'm not saying you're worn.

I--I look at you as vibrant.

Considering.

So Barb was a bust.

Way too sensitive.

If you're gonna
clutch the pearls

every time
I say the wrong thing,

it's going to be a long life.

But Santorini with
a woman of a certain age?

That could be nice.

Dinner at 5:00,
in bed by 8:00.

I think it's time
I expand my horizons.

It's called growth.

- Was that bad?

I feel like
that was really bad.

- You know,
the beginning was strong.

And...

that's what people remember.

- I just don't know where
all of that came from.

I try so hard
to keep things separate.

- Yeah, but no one expects that
of you, Joyce.

No one expects that of anyone.

We all process
personal stuff here.

We kind of have to.

- Yeah, I guess I could
use some practice with that.

- Exactly.

- So...

let's get to it.

- OK.

Sorry,
how are we getting to it?

- I've long believed

that people should
maintain a steel wall

between work life
and home life.

But a special colleague--

well, friend--

actually, I'm going
to stick with colleague--

taught me that
if a fire burns bright enough,

even steel can melt.

We should all feel comfortable
sharing personal stuff at work.

- [chuckling] Yeah.

I'm going to be
an organ donor.

- You weren't an organ donor?

- Yeah, I mean, we talked
about it this morning.

- OK, well...
[plays notes on marimba]

Maybe we can stick
with my thing, please.

- Yes.

I lost someone special today.

Alan, my marimba teacher.

He taught me to play.

And today, I play for him.

[marimba playing]

[Bill Withers'
"Lean on Me" playing]

?

- So I'm 16 years old

and I'm at the high school
science bowl final.

I guess I was
pretty bright back then.

And, uh...

but I'm off my game this time
because my dad,

who's always front row, center,

I don't see him.

Anyway, we come in third.

And then I find out that he had
a brain aneurysm at work,

and the hospital
couldn't stabilize him.

He's gone.

[sighs]

Yeah.

Anyway, sometimes I think
that, you know,

with an especially tough case,

what if this is that day
and this isn't just some guy,

this is someone's dad?

[sighs]

You know,

maybe that makes me try
just that little bit harder.

to stop a kid from growing up
without a dad.

I don't know.

I mean, does that answer the--

what was the question again?

Why did I become a surgeon?

- We hadn't asked a question.

- You hadn't asked a question.

That's right.
Yes, yes, yes.

[chuckling]
That's right.

[marimba playing]

[applause]

- Thank you.

And now an original composition

I like to call
"Smitten with Kittens."

?

- Oh, man.
I love music.
