PROBABLY AN MI.

NO SNAKE BITE?

NO, NO SNAKE BITE.

DR. BRACKETT I WASTED A LOT OF TIME LOOKING FOR A SNAKEBITE.

IF I'D STARTED CPR, HE MIGHT'VE HAD A CHANCE.

GIL, UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES,

I'D HAVE PROBABLY MADE THE SAME ASSUMPTION YOU DID.

AT ANY RATE, THOSE FEW SECONDS YOU LOST

COULDN'T HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE.

IT'S HARD TO SAY.

IT'S HARD TO SAY I MIGHT HAVE KILLED A MAN.

GIL, LOOK, HE JUST SAID YOU DIDN'T KILL HIM.

I'M GOING OUT TO THE SQUAD.

[ sighs ]

GO CHECK ON ROY.

ALL RIGHT. SEE YOU, JOHNNY.

WELL, THERE'S NO DAMAGE TO THE TISSUE.

IT'S A GOOD THING YOU GOT TO THAT WATER

AS QUICKLY AS YOU DID.

OH, GIL DIDN'T WASTE ANY TIME.

THAT WAS GOOD THINKING ON HIS PART.YEAH.

LOOK, I'LL SEE YOU GUYS, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT. THANKS A LOT, DOC.

OKAY. CATCH YOU LATER, DOC.

HOW ARE THE OTHERS DOING?

WELL, THE GUY WITH THE SNAKEBITE,

LOOKS LIKE HE'S GONNA BE OKAY.

THE OTHER GUY DIDN'T MAKE IT.

HEART ATTACK?

YEAH.

GIL IS BLAMING HIMSELF.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

WELL, HE'S WAITING FOR US IN THE SQUAD.

HEY, READY FOR YOUR SECOND BIG SHIFT, HUH, GIL?

YEAH.

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE KEEPING YOU PRETTY BUSY.

YEAH.

HEY, LISTEN, WHAT DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE KID

WITH THE KIDNEY TRANSPLANT?

HE'S GOING HOME TODAY.

GREAT.

WELL, I GUESS I BETTER GO BEFORE YOU TALK MY EAR OFF.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH GIL, TODAY?

HE'S STILL UPSET ABOUT LOSING THAT MAN LAST SHIFT.

HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF, DOES HE?

MAYBE HE JUST DOESN'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A PARAMEDIC.

NO.

LISTEN, I SAW THAT GUY IN HIGH SCHOOL

EXCEL IN EVERYTHING HE DID.

DID YOU TRY TALKING TO HIM?

YEAH, I TRIED THIS MORNING.

HE JUST GOT DEFENSIVE.

I KNOW HE CAN DO IT.

I DON'T THINK HE DOES, THOUGH.

WELL, SOMETIMES IT'S HARDER TO TALK TO PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW.

BE RIGHT BACK.

WELL, DON'T JUST STAND THERE, HELP ME.

GIL?YEAH.

ALL RIGHT IF I TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

SURE.

LOOK, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT

YOU'RE GONNA MAKE A REAL GOOD PARAMEDIC,

BUT JOHNNY SEEMS TO THINK AN AWFUL LOT OF YOU.

MAYBE HE MADE A MISTAKE.

THAT'S POSSIBLE. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS WE LEARN SOMETHING FROM THEM.

JUST KEEP PLUGGING ALONG.

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING, ROY.

I REALLY WANTED TO BE A PARAMEDIC.

EVER SINCE I HEARD ABOUT THE PROGRAM,

IT WAS ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT.

BUT NOW

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HACK IT.

IT'S TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY.

WHEN I LOST MY FIRST MY VICTIM, I WAS GONNA QUIT.

WHAT HAPPENED?

BRACKETT TALKED ME OUT OF IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID? HE SAID,

"SOMEBODY REALLY NEEDS HELP,

YOU LOOK AROUND AND YOU SAY,

'ARE YOU THE BEST AVAILABLE MAN FOR THE JOB?'

AND IF YOU ARE, THEN YOU DO YOUR BEST."

WHAT IF YOUR BEST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH?

YOU HAVEN'T REALLY GIVEN YOURSELF A CHANCE NOW, HAVE YOU?

LOOK,

IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT IT, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.

LOWER AWAY!

A LITTLE MORE.

CAP, WE'VE GOT NO PULSE.

WE NEED A PARAMEDIC DOWN HERE!

THE MAN'S GONE INTO ARREST!

SECURE THE LINE. WE'LL REPEL DOWN.

SWING THE LINE TO ME.

I'LL GET THE DEFIBRILLATOR.

THERE YOU GO.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, LADIES, I WANT YOU TO STAY INSIDE,

AND WE'LL HAVE YOU DOWN IN JUST A SECOND, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, CHET, I'LL TAKE OVER. GET THE BIOPHONE.

CLEAR.

V-FIB.

RAMPART, THIS IS SQUAD 51.

WE HAVE A MALE, APPROXIMATELY 60 YEARS OLD.

HE'S IN V-FIB.

WE'VE DEFIBRILLATED ONCE, UNSUCCESSFULLY.

REQUEST PERMISSION TO START BICARB,

IV AND ESOPHAGEAL AIRWAY.

51, HE'S STILL IN V-FIB.

DEFIBRILLATE AGAIN, START AN IV WITH D5W,

ADMINISTER ONE AMP SODIUM BICARB.

10-4, RAMPART.

Johnny: CLEAR.

ALL RIGHT, 51, HE'S IN SINUS RHYTHM.

ADMINISTER A LIDOCAINE DRIP

AND TRANSPORT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

10-4, RAMPART.

WELL, I THINK HE'S GONNA BE OKAY.

WELL, GUYS, I THINK HE'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, WE WERE PRETTY GOOD TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT.

BOY, WHEN THAT GUY STARTED BREATHING AGAIN,

I THINK THAT WAS ABOUT THE MOST EXCITING THING

THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS,

IT'S GONNA FEEL JUST AS GOOD.

WELL, I'M NOT USED TO MAKING SPEECHES...

GOOD, THEN DON'T,

BECAUSE THERE'S SOMEBODY HERE WHO WANTS TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU.

HEY, LARRY.

HOW YOU DOING OLD BUDDY?

HEY, GIL, GUESS WHAT?WHAT?

I GOT A NEW CHANCE TO LIVE, JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

ISN'T THAT SOMETHING, GIL?

THAT'S REALLY SOMETHING, LARRY.
