- She's out.
- I'll take it from here.

- Dr. Blake.
You're a transplant surgeon.

I got this.
- She tried to scrub in.

- How'd you guess?
- I know my mom.

- You need a roof over
your head, heat, running water.

- You just wanna
call the shots.

You owe me $1,200.

- Do what you want
with it, Mom.

- I screwed up everything
today.

- I know how tough
internship can be.

- Boards aren't gonna study
for themselves.

- You pulled my patient's
Vas-COM?

- I just think we should err
on the side of safety.

- It did seem medically
warranted to get her

on better monitoring.

So I just put in
another Vas-COM.

- Is something going on?

- Dr. Halstead tells me
you're progressing well.

- I have excellent doctors
to thank for that.

- And we're very impressed
with your staff.

- Well, Dr. Halstead
is one of our finest.

- Don't forget Dr. Cooper.
- Hey, there, what'd I miss?

- We were just discussing
Eleanor's marked improvement.

How she looks much
less edematous.

- Yeah, right, it's terrific.

I've been able to strategically
manage her fluids

using the Vas-COM.

Sorry, I didn't mean
to interrupt.

I just came in to take a quick
peak at her cardiac output.

- It's all right.
I have to go anyway.

I have a meeting.

- I'll walk you out,
Miss Goodwin.

- You two take care.

- Still can't believe
Cooper put in another Vas-COM.

- I thought it was confirmed
that Vas-COM

didn't contribute
to her embolic events.

- It didn't, but with Eleanor's
clotting issues, it's risky.

- I heard you were here
late last night.

- I had
a difficult septic patient.

I didn't wanna just leave him
for the night shift.

- They can handle
a septic patient.

- I wanted to see it through.

- Did you get any sleep?

- Didn't we just have
this conversation a week ago?

- And I'm allowed to ask you if
you're taking care of yourself.

- Mom, you know
you're parked in a red zone.

- Oh, no one cares.

You wanna see what I've done?

- Sure.

- I found those pillows
off a couch

someone left on the sidewalk.

And look what I pulled
out of a dumpster

behind Merchandise Mart.

It's silk. Feel it.

- Wow.

- And back--back there,
I--I hung up a prism.

Remember that one
when you were little?

All the Rainbows?

- Yeah, I remember.

And I see you have a cooler.

I brought some groceries
with me,

some fresh fruits
and vegetables.

What's with your arm?

- Oh--oh no, it's not--
it's not a big deal.

- Mom, let me see.

Oh, what did you do?

- I was working on the van
and I--I knocked aside

that stick thingy
that holds the hood up.

It got me pretty good.

- Oh, you're burning up.

- I'm wearing layers.

- Oh, mom. Oh, man.
This is infected.

- No, I washed--I washed it.

- No, we gotta get you
to the hospital.

- No, no, no, no, it's fine.
I can take care of myself.

- Mom--Mom? Mom, Mom.
No, I'm calling an ambulance.

Mom?

- I don't care
if it's your hospital.

I don't wanna be here.

- I can hear you fine, Mom.

- But you won't listen to me.

- The IV's for fluids.
You're dehydrated, Mom.

- Not at all what I imagined.

In med school, Stevie was the
one who had it all together.

Head of the class,
full scholarship.

I just figured she was raised
by some genius scientists

who made her in a lab.

- Huh.

I thought scholarships
are usually for students

in need of financial aid.

- Your bilirubin levels
are high

but they seem to have plateaued
at the moment.

How are you feeling, Sheldon?

- Like every second
could be my last.

A real thrill.

- I know how difficult
this has been.

I want you to meet Dr. Marcel.

He's taken an interest
in transplant surgery,

and he's been shadowing me.

- Hey, Sheldon.

- Dr. Marcel, are you going
to get me a liver?

- Oh, well, uh,
we're working on it.

- You're at the top
of the transplant list.

So there's a good chance
that the next one

that matches
has your name on it.

- Okay, I'll try not to die
in the meantime.

- You do that.

- Bye.

He got his humor.
That's a good sign.

- I'm not sure
if it's really humor

or his hepatic encephalopathy.

- How long has he been waiting?

- Eight months.

- Wow.

Kinda makes you feel helpless.

- It's definitely not the ED.

Someone lands here, and you
can't just get right to work

resetting a bone.

In transplant surgery,
unfortunately,

it's all about waiting.

- Dr. Scott, you're up.

You're going to treatment 4.

And by the way,
we're short-staffed today,

so I'm gonna be assisting you.
- Oh, let's do it.

Who's the patient?
- 9-year-old Siobhan Murphy.

She fell down
a flight of stairs.

- Those her parents?

- Yeah, Kate and Brandon.
- That guy looks familiar.

Mr. and Mrs. Murphy.
I'm Dr. Scott.

This is our charge nurse,
Maggie,

and you must be Siobhan.

Uh-oh, I know that look.

- We're pretty sure
Siobhan broke her arm.

- She fell down the stairs
of our apartment complex.

Do I know you?

- Oh, I don't think so.

All right, Siobhan,
what happened?

- I guess I tripped.

- She's never been the world's
most coordinated person.

- So just a normal
run-of-the-mill trip?

Nothing in front of you
but you're own two feet?

- I don't really remember much.
When I fell, I hit my head.

Since then,
it's all been a little foggy.

- So we need to get a head CT

to check
on that brain fog, yeah?

- Okay.
- May I look at your arm?

Let me see.

Get an X-ray on the arm.

- Uh-huh.

- Okay, Siobhan, so we are
gonna take a few pictures

of your arm
and the inside of your head.

Sound like a plan?

Okay.

- I will be right back
with an X-ray technician.

Hey, what was that
between you and the dad?

- I realized how I know him.

I arrested him for assault
and battery 10 years ago.

- Really?
Hey, is that gonna be an issue?

Are you sure you should be
on this case?

I can call peds
and get somebody else.

- Oh, no, no, no. It's fine.
I'm good.

You need to re-do this.
Okay, I'm sorry.

- Dr. Marcel, you made it.

with a patient in the ICU.

- Remember, there's a reason
why it's called

the Emergency Department, yeah?

- Dr. Archer, Dr. Marcel,
we have trauma incoming.

Nancy, you're good?
Lacey, talk to me.

- John Doe, age unknown,

most likely
a long-distance swimmer.

Crew team found him floating
in Lake Michigan,

fished him out
and performed CPR.

CFD defibrillated him once,

got a rhythm,
and intubated in the field.

- Why are you still doing
compressing him?

- I lost pulse
about 30 secs ago.

Gave him a milligram of epi.

Nice and easy, okay?

Maybe they can identify him.

- Hey.

I just wanted to say
I'm sorry about your mom.

- You're surprised.
- Surprised?

- She looks like
a street person, right?

You weren't expecting that.

- If you need any help...

- Thank you.

It's nice of you,

but I've been dealing
with this a long time.

- Just forwarded
your mom's labs.

- Yeah, it's about
what I expected.

- Are you sure you don't want
an attending instead of me?

- This way I can stay
on top of her case.

- Okay, well,
how do you wanna handle this?

- You take the lead.

She's more likely
to listen to you anyway.

- Terri, you definitely have
an infection in your arm

that has spread
to your bloodstream.

We have to treat it like MRSA
until your cultures come back.

- We already knew
it was infected.

- Yes, Mom,
but this particular type

of infection is resistant
to most forms of antibiotics.

- I thought she was my doctor.

- We can still treat it, Terri.

We'd like
to put in a PICC line.

- It's a catheter
we'll leave in your arm.

- Because if you do have MRSA--

- It's a minimum of six weeks
of intravenous antibiotics.

- Out of the question.
- It's not really optional.

- You can't force me to take
some medicine I don't want.

- We have no intention
of forcing anything.

- But if the infection goes
untreated, then it could spread

to your heart valves
and turn into endocarditis.

Which could kill you.

- Six weeks I have to keep
coming back to the hospital?

No.

- We could also make
arrangements

for a home health nurse
to come to your house.

- Or wherever you're staying.

- She's ashamed of me
because I live in a van.

- Once the infection
is cleared, then we can--

- No, no, I'm not letting you
put some thing in my arm

so you can reel me back
like a fish whenever you want.

- How long has this been
going on, Gordon?

- Just a few days--
- A week.

- Marielle's been nagging me
to get this looked at,

but sure it's just a cold.

- What kind of cold
makes it hard to breathe?

- It's called a chest cold,
hon.

- COVID PCR test
came back negative.

- Let's get a CBC, BMP, ABG,

blood and sputum cultures
and chest X-ray.

- You got it.

- We're gonna get to the bottom
of this, Gordon.

You sit tight.

- Don't worry.
I won't let him go anywhere.

- She's a tyrant, doc.

Wouldn't even let me
get a motorcycle.

- 30 years,
he still talks about that.

- Just my two cents.

But you should keep
listening to her.

-
- Thank you.

- And here is
your large green tea

with extra honey, Dr. Charles.

- Thank you, Olivia.

- Dr. Charles,
do you have a minute?

- Yeah, of course.
What's going on?

- Uh, my, uh,
my mom came in earlier.

I think you saw.
- Yeah, I did.

- Yeah, I was hoping
that you might talk to her.

She has a MRSA infection,

but she won't get
treatment for it.

- Oh, boy.

- Yeah, she's always
been this way.

I can't even get her to commit

to taking her
blood pressure medication,

much less
intravenous antibiotics.

- Frustrating, right?

- Yeah.

She and I kinda speak
a different language.

It's kinda why I was hoping
that you might have

a better chance
of changing her mind.

- Happy to give it a shot.

Anything else you think
that I should know?

- You'll see pretty quickly
what you're up against.

- Okay, it's just, you know,

don't wanna be flying blind,
that's all.

- It's complicated,
my mom and I.

My dad left before
I could even remember.

We spent my childhood bouncing
from apartment to apartment.

Sometimes leaving
in the middle of the night

to avoid paying
the last month's rent.

- Pretty chaotic.

- Yeah, at the time
I thought it was normal.

It was all I knew.

And she wanted
to make a home for us.

She really tried.

She just couldn't
get out of her own way.

- How--how do you mean?

- She couldn't hold down a job.

She'd mouth off to a boss,
get fired.

- Right.
- She started drinking.

Started using.

We wound up on the street.
- Oh, man.

- I'm pretty sure she has some
undiagnosed mental illness.

- Right.
- Yeah, you'll see.

- I thoroughly appreciate
how absolutely brutal

this must be for you.

And I also get how it might
really simplify your ability

to treat your mom if I were
to declare her incompetent.

- If that's what it takes.

- But you also know
that in order for me

to take away a patient's
decisional capabilities,

it's--they just have to meet

a very specific
set of criteria.

I just--I just don't want you
to get your hopes up, okay?

But I'm only too happy
to speak to your mom,

and I--I really appreciate all
the detail you give me, okay?

- Thank you.
- You bet.

- It's an isolated fracture
of the ulna,

but it should heal up
just fine after

about a month and a half

So there's no problem there.
- Thank God.

- I did wanna ask
about Siobhan's history.

I saw in the electronic
medical records that she landed

at East Mercy's emergency room
about a year ago.

- That was another
terrible accident.

- Siobhan just doesn't
pay attention sometimes.

Her head's in the clouds.

- We'd come inside
from the grocery store.

It had been raining, and I was
unloading the groceries,

and I--I left my umbrella
on the kitchen tile.

And when I finally went
to pick it back up again,

there was this puddle
of water underneath and--

- That's all we can think of.

- I--I thought
that I cleaned it up,

but I guess
I must have missed some and--

- Yeah, she had
a head CT then too.

- Yeah, she--she fell
and hit--hit the back

of her head
on the kitchen counter.

It took four staples to...

- But like we said, Siobhan's
always been kind of clumsy.

- And what do you think,
Siobhan?

Are you clumsy?

- I guess I do fall down a lot.

- We'll have an orthopedic
resident coming soon

and cast Siobhan's arm.

- And we'll go make sure he
brings his purple casting tape.

- Call DCFS.

- Wait,
what are you talking about?

- There's a pattern
of suspicious injuries.

- Yes, but they explained
what happened

and--and Siobhan confirmed it.

- What do you think
she's gonna say, huh?

If there's one thing I learned
from my days at CPD,

is that the more convoluted
the story sounds,

the more likely it is not true.

- Yes, but to call DCFS on that
with what little we saw?

Do you know what it could do
to those parents?

- If you won't call them,
I will.

- No, I--

- So your mom is--
she's depressed.

She--she's definitely anxious.

I wouldn't be surprised
if a proper clinical evaluation

would yield
a bipolar diagnosis.

But right now she has capacity.

- Even if she refuses
to take care of herself?

- It doesn't disqualify her

from making
her own medical decisions.

- What if it kills her
this time?

- She seems to be aware
of the risk.

- I didn't wanna suggest this
before running it by you first,

but there is
a pill form of antibiotics

that's had
some success with MRSA.

- Linezolid, I know, but she'll
never stick to the regimen.

- You know, could be
different this time.

- Why?

- Well, for instance, with her
blood pressure medication,

right, that she won't take,

we don't experience
high blood pressure physically.

But your mom,
she has a high fever.

Her arm is swollen.
She's in a lot of pain.

It's possible
that her physical symptoms

could compel her to act.

- And if they don't?

- Unfortunately,
it's her decision to make.

- I'll talk to her.
I'll see what I can do.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

- Gordon is all I have, please.

- Vanessa, come here.

You remember how I said
my mom won't take her pills?

- Mm-hmm.
- Check this out.

- What am I looking at?

- New technology
called a nanodrug.

It's a smart drug that works

with the digital
feedback system.

- I don't understand.

- It's for patients that forget
to take their medicine.

Their caregivers can track
the exact date and time

that a patient ingest
their pills on a phone app.

- How?
- Watch.

Each pill is embedded
with a microscopic nanosensor.

When it dissolves
in the stomach acid,

the sensor then sends a signal

to a patch
on the patient's body.

And that patch
tells the phone app.

I could track whether
my mom's taking them or not.

- But her antibiotics
don't have nanosensors.

- Well, researchers at Med
are working

on their version of this.

They said they can
add nanosensors to any pills.

So when my mom's are ready
at the pharmacy,

let me know, okay?

- It's--it's cool, I admit it.

But how are you gonna
get her to sign off on this?

does she have to know?

- I'm having trouble
oxygenating him.

- Hi, there. I'm Dr. Cooper.

- Matt, there must've
been a mistake.

I asked for the pulmonologist
on call.

- Your request came to my unit,

and as the critical care doctor
on call, you got me.

Excuse me.
Are you the patient's wife?

- Marielle.

- Marielle, this is what I do.
Okay.

I'm--I'm confident I can
address your husband's issues.

All right.

- Gordon came in
with a bad case of pneumonia.

I had to intubate him.

But I'm having difficulty
achieving

adequate gas exchange.

I thought he was fighting
the ventilator,

so I sedated him with propofol

but his airway pressures
are still up.

Not--not exactly sure
what the problem is.

I think an early ARDS.

Already started him
on the ARDs net protocol.

- ARDS?

- Acute Respiratory
Distress Syndrome.

There are tiny elastic sacs
at the base of the lungs.

It seems Gordon's are not
properly exchanging oxygen.

- So to improve his gas
exchange, we need

to sedate him more deeply
and then paralyze him.

- Paralyze him?

- Yeah, I know
that sounds extreme.

In this case, it's necessary

to reduce the pressures
inside his chest.

- And to do that,
you need to paralyze him?

- Hey, can I talk to you
outside for a second?

- Sure, yeah.

- Marielle, we'll--we'll be
right back

- Paralyzing people in this
context often leads

to increased morbidity
and mortality.

I mean, there must be
something else we can do.

- Believe me, Will,
I wish there were another way.

But unless we paralyze him and
get him oxygenated, he'll die.

Put him on an atracurium drip.

Use dexmedetomidine
instead of propofol

and, uh, I'll be back
in a little bit, okay?

lungs like two balloons,

I'm going to blow them up so
they can take in more oxygen.

- Is that safe?

- You know, it's not
a procedure I've done before.

is an excellent doctor,

but he's not a lung specialist.

He doesn't have experience
using the ventilator

in this manner.

We're all going

All of us, okay?

- Say you--you've essentially
been parenting your mother

for most of your life, right?

- I never thought of it
like that, but yes.

- It's hard work.

- And for what?

So stupid to think that
I could ever get her to change.

Obviously,
that's not gonna happen.

- Okay, now that you're not
asking me for my advice--

- No, I am.

- Okay, well then maybe it's
time for a different approach.

Something perhaps
less parental?

- Like what?

Let her just do
whatever she wants?

Just walk away?

- Well, you see the thing about
taking a step back, though,

is that it might benefit
the both of you.

- Well, it seems
pretty optimistic.

I mean, at the very least,

you would be getting

this is Marc Sussman.

- That's him.

That's my cousin, Ricky.

Oh, man.

- We'll give you guys
some space.

- How?

- Did you see the scar
along Ricky Sussman's hip?

- Yeah, I thought it might've
been from a hip replacement.

- Yeah, it was.

When I looked back at the CT

I saw his prosthesis
had an identification chip.

So I had it scanned,

called around
several device manufacturers

until one claimed
the chip's serial number.

- That got you to his name.

- From there, tracking down
his cousin was pretty easy.

- I suppose
if his cousin decides

to withdraw life support
and donate his organs,

then you and Dr. Blake might
just get

what you've been hoping for.

- Now, hold on.

We had a moral
obligation for Ricky's sake

- Hey, Maggie,
can you get Brandon Murphy

and bring him
into the consultation room?

I think I might've figured out
what's been happening here,

and it's not child abuse.

- Uh, should I step out?

- Actually, if you don't mind,

I'd like Ms. Gastern
to hear this,

as I believe Siobhan's medical
status might clear things up.

I went back
and took a look at her scans.

This is Siobhan's head CT
from East Mercy last year.

And this is the one
we took this morning.

- They look exactly
the same to me.

- That's what I initially
thought too.

But then I noticed this.

Siobhan's cerebellum has shown
some signs of atrophy

in this last year.

- Atrophy?

- Meaning there's been
a loss of brain cells.

It's subtle, but if you look
really close,

you can see
that this part of the brain

is somewhat smaller
in appearance.

Might explain why she's
always been a little clumsy.

Has that gotten worse
this year?

- I--I suppose so.

- I believe that
that is a result

of these changes
in her cerebellum,

which is the part of the brain
that controls coordination.

- Are you saying Siobhan
has a brain disorder?

- Not exactly.

I believe she has an illness
which causes her

to not produce an important
enzyme called HEXA.

The name of the disease
is Tay-Sachs.

- Tay--Tay-Sachs?
I think I've heard of that.

- With your permission,

I would like to test
Siobhan to see if she has it.

- Of course.

Anything to figure out
what's causing this.

- I'm gonna help you
figure this out.

- I hated having to put
my faith in Cooper,

but he did everything right.

And without him,
I would have lost my patient.

What if he's not the guy
we think he is?

What if all our suspicions
around dubious consulting fees,

kickbacks, malpractice,
what if it's just projection?

- Well, that's why we have
to be absolutely positive

before we make
any public accusations.

- I just hope we're doing
the right thing, that's all.

- I hear the relative met
with Organ Donors of America.

- Since the patient suffered
an irreversible brain injury,

cousin wants us
to withdraw support

and pursue DCD organ donation.

- All fingers crossed his liver
is a match for Sheldon's.

- Mm-mm.
- It's not?

- Nope, Organ Donors of America
will be transporting

the patient's liver
to a recipient in Milwaukee.

- Well, I guess we'll just have
to keep on waiting.

- You know, I have to say,

I'm not exactly comfortable
with what I did today.

- Your patient had
no chance of recovery.

And now thanks to his cousin,
both you and the hospital

are relieved
of any ethical concerns

regarding his end-of-life
decision-making.

More importantly,
someone in Milwaukee gets

a chance to extend their life.

What's the problem?

- Just not sure whose interests
I had at heart today.

- Crockett, it's a sad fact,
but in this business,

only 7% of transplants
come from living donors.

For someone to live,
someone else has to die.

If you can't handle that,
then maybe you weren't cut out

for transplant surgery
after all.
