"No." "Don't touch me." "Try not to move." "I'm a doctor." "You may have broken your ankle." "If you're a doctor, I want a second opinion." "Okay." "Dr. Lockhart, would you care to give a second opinion?" "Sure." "Your ankle may be broken, and you're a bitch." "All three of them are a liability." "Look at them." "Huddled together like prairie dogs." "This is the best we have to work with?" "Should've made me chief long ago." "And why's that?" "For one, I'd be a little pickier in choosing our residents."

"You want me to call your husband?" "No, there's no such creature." "But you could call Toni Stillman." "She's my friend." "She needs to be here." "Ray?" "Twenty-four-year-old."

"... andpatientsdon'twannaseeyou scratching your head." "So in the meantime, can you go get me some Nitrazine paper?" "Come on." "Go, go." "Excuse me." "Dr. Barnett wanted me to get some Nitrazine paper." "But I don't know what it is." "You didn't ask?" "He said if I didn't know something" "Listen, number one rule of the ER is if you don't know something, ask." "Okay?" "You're not gonna learn this stuff by yourself and that's why we're here." "What do I do with the--?" "Dr. Rasgotra, can you tell me how to use a Nitrazine paper?" "Not until I finish suturing a very fidgety 6-year-old." "You're an intern now." "If you don't know something- l know, fake it." "What?" "No, of course not." "l already asked" "Look things up yourself." "When someone gives you the answer, you forget five minutes later."

"No." "He can wait." "This is Dr. Pratt." "I need this Trauma Room in a couple minutes." "How are we doing in here?" "I don't know about you, but I'm having contractions." "Nitrazine is positive." "Which means your water did break." "Follow it caudad." "Okay." "is everything okay?" "Looks like a breech presentation." "Dr. Barnett, can I get your advice on something?" "This doesn't feel any different from my last pregnancy." "The baby's been active." "You're doing good, Claire." "The baby's heart rate is right on target." "Dr. Pratt, could you come and take look at this, please?" "Doctor Pratt." "What is it?" "It looks like you've delivered the feet." "But that's okay, right?"

"What were you looking for when you came to find me?" "I guess I just had to see for myself." "And now I have." "charlie:" "So how do we do this?" "We don't. I'm sorry I bothered you." "I had no idea you were in Chicago." "l heard you were still in Detroit." "l'm not in Detroit no more." "I can imagine what you think about me." "There's a lot of things that you probably need me to explain." "No." "I don't need anything from you." "I never have." "I made a mistake going to see you that night, so forget I came by."

"Wait a minute." "Are you sure?" "I thought benzos could cloud the neurological picture." "Yeah." "Fine." "Soft restraints then." "MALlK:" "Narcan's in." "Come on." "Talk to us, doctor." "White count is 1 2.3... ." "You guys still in here?" "I got a GSW to the chest." "I need you out of here now." "This kid's ready to go to PlCU." "He's not." "He's getting worse."

"What happens if I don't have surgery?" "We allow the baby to be delivered up to the umbilicus  togivethecervixtime todilate." "Then use maneuvers to deliver head and shoulders." "Then let's do that." "That's not a good idea." "Right, with a footling breech, there's a 25 percent chance of major complications." "It's less than 2 percent with a C-section." "That's a 75 percent chance that the baby will be born..." "... withoutanyproblems." "Okay." "We can wait while the labor proceeds." "But if the baby's heart rate gets too low, you may still need a C-section." "I don't want surgery." "I'll send somebody down as soon as we have a room ready." "Can you please find Toni for me?"

"l'm lost." "We need to get this guy upstairs, Abby." "No, what we need is an ammonia level." "Go get some ice." "Ammonia has to go to the lab cold." "Run." "That's my frappuccino." "They could do this upstairs, Abby." "Yeah." "After they do their assessment, review labs and repeat x-rays." "Meanwhile, his brain is being pickled by whatever metabolite is going in there." "Okay." "Get that to the lab." "Go." "Hang in there, Liam." "Good signal." "Fetal heart rate 1 58." "Well, that's still good, right?" "For the time being."

"The kid has a metabolic disorder, some protein intolerance." "Okay." "Run to the pharmacy, see if the sodium phenylbutyrate is ready." "Sodium what?" "lt's a nitrogen scavenger." "It'll help bring down ammonia, reverse encephalopathy." "Got it." "The kid's family are strict vegetarians." "His friends told me today he had two cheeseburgers..." "... becausehewasdepressed." "Because his parents are getting a divorce." "So it was probably some sort of fast-food rebellion." "Only he can't handle protein." "Any family members to confirm this?" "Chuny's still trying to track them down." "Can you switch him to D1 0 half at 1 50 an hour?" "You got it." "Luka?" "We got a hot Ml on its way in." "Be right there." "So lower the ammonia..."
