"You believe in this treatment, right?" "I do." "Then it's gonna work." "Okay?" "Okay." "But in the meantime" "You can't keep visiting him every five seconds." "People are gonna wonder what's up."

"Her doctor prescribed her oxycontin." "She got addicted and then accidentally got pregnant." "She tried to get clean but then relapsed." "Couldn't get a prescription for oxy anymore," "So she turned to heroin." "She overdosed a week ago." "Was treated at county, but she's been unable" "To control her addiction." "How far along is she?" "30 weeks." "Using a drug implantable's very risky," "Especially on a pregnant woman." "As a pediatrician, I've seen this happen way too often." "If we don't get this woman clean" "There will be another tiny little baby born" "Completely screwed by the choices the mother made." "I can't not do something." "Hi, Skylar." "Good to see you again." "This is dr." "Wallace." "Thank you so much for taking me." "Of course." "Skylar, these are the drug implantables" "I was telling you about." "We want to implant four of these in your upper arm." "They would continuously release low doses of buprenorphine" "Over the next ten weeks." "That way, when your baby comes," "You will be drug-free and so will your baby." "Thank you." "I-I-I don't know" "How I got here." "When I got pregnant I thought, I want to keep this baby." "I would do anything for her." "I would get clean." "And I did..." "For a couple of months." "But it is so-so hard, you guys." "Before we agree to administer the implantable," "I need to know that you're absolutely committed" "To getting clean." "If we put the drug implantable in you," "And you continue to use heroin," "You'll overdose and you could die." "Dr. Wallace," "I'm having a baby girl in ten weeks." "I will do anything." "I have to get clean before she comes." "I promise you I'm ready." "Okay." "Let's schedule an appointment for the implant." "Thank you." "I'm injecting the gold nanoparticles." "They're attaching to the cancer cells." "What's up?" "The cancer's more invasive than we thought." "And it spread to her vocal cords." "Can you get it out safely?" "Believe so." "What's that gonna do to her voice?" "I don't know." "But it's her voice or her life." "Okay, let's do this." "What's going on?" "Just got an alarm." "Skylar's having severe stomach cramps" "And her heart rate's spiking." "It could be withdrawal." "And it could be pre-term labor." "Let's see what we've got..." "Skylar," "Tell me what you're feeling." "Cramps." "Really bad, dr." "Wallace." "Okay, let's check out that baby." "Fetal heart rate is dropping." "A prolonged decel." "This baby's in serious distress." "Oh, my god, oh, my god." "Okay, Skylar." "It looks to me like you're in premature labor." "The baby's ready to come out." "I can't have this baby." "I can't..."

"We didn't have a choice, okay?" "We saved her life." "What about a voice box transplant?" "Yeah." "We could do that." "You transplant the trachea, larynx, nerves," "And vocal cords from a donor..." "Who's the donor gonna be?" "Adele's not giving hers up." "Hey, james." "Unfortunately, we're not gonna be able" "To give georgia back her exact voice." "Unless we grow it." "Here we go." "What?" "We grow stuff all the time." "So you're saying artificial vocal cords?" "Yeah." "An exact replica of her original vocal cords." "We'd extract bone marrow..." "Isolate the stem cells..." "And grow them into cords." "Is she okay?" "You both made it through the C-section very well." "When can I see her?" "Well, she's in the NICU, but I can show her to you" "On the monitor right away." "That's her?" "She's so tiny." "Three pounds, eight ounces." "What is dr." "Brockett doing with that blindfold?" "Is everything okay?" "Adjusting to the harsh stimuli" "Of the outside world can be very uncomfortable" "For a baby detoxing from heroin."

"Let's get some oxygen," "Some suction." "Yes, doctor." "She's seizing." "I saw." "Skylar last used 12 hours ago." "We need to give her morphine." "Prepare two migs of morphine" "Right now." "And then what?" "It stops the seizing" "But causes respiratory depression." "She won't be able to withstand that ventilator for very long."

"Uh, mom, this is dr." "Strauss." "He's a..." "He's a friend of mine who works here." "Hello, dr." "Strauss." "Angie, if you'll excuse us," "I'm gonna take your mom for a quick exam." "Wait, now?" "If that's okay with you." "wait, what was that?" "Nothing." "She was just kidding." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey, Louis." "How are you doing?" "It's good to see you." "What are you doing?" "I'm stretching out his muscles." "He's been bedridden for a couple weeks, so..." "This'll help his mobility when he starts walking again." "Otherwise, it'll be tough" "On you, Louis." "What's the...?" "It's a feeding tube." "He's having trouble eating." "Swallowing, actually." "It's okay." "It's not as bad as it looks." "It kind of sucks putting it in, but..." "Then it's fine." "I tried it once, 'cause I didn't believe a doctor." "You tried it once?" "On yourself?" "Yeah." "I want to know what my patients are feeling." "He's very lucky to have you." "It's okay." "Okay." "If anything changes, I'll find you." "Okay." "Bye, Louis." "The good news is we were able to remove 100% of the cancer." "I don't understand." "You should probably rest your voice as much as possible." "You said it was stage I. Now you're saying I could've died?" "As I said before, we wouldn't know for certain" "Until we got in." "Unfortunately, there was" "More cancer than we had anticipated." "But you got it all." "Yes." "And what about" "My vocal cords?" "We did have to remove" "A small part of your left vocal cord." "You removed p-part of my vocal cord." "That's my voice." "This is cancer, ms." "Ray." "I had to save your life." "Oh, my god." "Ms. Ray," "We have a solution." "We'll rebuild your vocal cords in our lab" "Using your stem cells and transplant them back in." "And we hope they'll help restore your voice." "You hope?" "We can't give you 100% assurance, but we're pretty optimistic." "Why should I believe anything you have to say?" "Everything okay in here?" "No, it is not." "It has not been okay since your doctors made" "The decision to hack up my vocal cords without asking me." "Georgia, dr." "Channarayapatra is one" "Of our very best." "She's dedicated her life to medicine." "You're very lucky to have her." "If this job" "Is your life, you should probably be better at it." "Georgia, I promise you, if you let us do this procedure..." "No, this is not what you promised." "You promised me that this was the best hospital in the world" "And that you performed miracles here." "This is not a miracle." "This is a freaking nightmare." "Your doctors are incompetent!" "Th-this room has terrible feng shui." "These are grocery store lilies." "Can I have a second with ms." "Ray?" "James, it's okay..." "Please." "All yours." "First off," "I had these lilies flown in from macedonia." "They're not grocery store lilies." "Second," "This room has excellent feng shui." "I studied the san yuan method in china." "Finally, those two doctors that you just called incompetent" "Are two of the most innovative and brave physicians" "And human beings" " I have ever come into contact with." "And they just saved your life." "And you didn't even thank them." "There are people dying in this hospital, georgia." "There's someone dying in the room next door to you." "And they're good people." "So, if you can't be grateful for what we've done for you," "Maybe you shouldn't be here." "In fact, could you please just get the hell out?" "You are not seriously kicking me out of your hospital." "I seriously am." "I'll be sure to refer you to an excellent" "Hospital for your follow-up." "...Within a few hours." "It won't take long at all." "Sound good?" "Okay, great." "Right now, we're fighting time." "She needs the morphine to control her seizures" "Or she'll have permanent brain damage." "But, of course, the morphine suppresses her breathing." "She needs to be on a ventilator," "Which her lungs won't tolerate for long." "So it's a catch-22." "We got to choose between" "Destroying the baby's lungs or brain?" "This baby's not ready to be out of the womb." "So let's put her back in." "The womb simulator?" "You think that could work?" "Even 24 hours would give us time to wean" "The baby down from the morphine" "And load her system" "With a milder opioid, methadone, for a safer withdrawal." "Wait, hold on." "The simulator's nowhere even close" "To being ready." "Okay." "What are the problems?" "Okay, we can give the baby nutrition" "Through the umbilical cord, but if we use it" "To oxygenate the blood, it'll cause blood clots." "What about liquid ventilation?" "It's-it's basically an artificial womb." "What if we made synthetic amniotic fluid" "With oxygen-carrying capacity?" "That could actually work." "It sounds sci-fi, but it's liquid" "You can actually breathe oxygen in." "Liquid would exert less tension on the lungs" "Than the air, so they won't rupture." "Will take a little bit of time to configure" "The machine to infuse liquid oxygen." "Okay, let's go." "We only have a few hours to figure this out," "Or we will lose that baby." "We're planning on putting her in an artificial womb" "Filled with an oxygen-rich fluid that the baby breathes." "This lets us protect her brain" "While we slowly wean her off morphine and..." "She can go through the withdrawal without" "Having to breathe on her own." "She'll only need to be on it" "For approximately 24 hours." "And that really works?" "We're gonna monitor her very closely." "If anything goes wrong, we'll remove her immediately." "And then what?" "Let's take this one step at a time." "Just tell me straight." "Please." "Honestly, we don't know." "The reason we had to put your baby on morphine was because" "The drug withdrawal was causing seizures." "And it took such a high dose of morphine to stop the seizures" "That it basically stopped her breathing, too." "Which is why she's on the ventilator," "But her tiny lungs aren't tolerating it." "We're gonna do the best we can," "But heroin-induced seizures are very hard to control." "Okay." "Can you take me back to my room, please?" "Can you hand me that coupling valve?" "Okay." "Thanks." "Okay." "Lay it on me." "It was the ginseng, right?" "Angie..." "Did you tell her that dr." "Zheng is not a real doctor?" "'cause she won't listen to me." "Angie, your mom is my patient now." "I can't tell you how it went." "But I was the one who asked you to see her." "Yeah, and me talking about how it went" "Would be an invasion of her privacy." "If she wants to tell you" "Uh, no, no, no, no." "You-you don't know my mom." "She has a very skewed view of the truth." "One time she told me dr." "Zheng cured her pneumonia" "By humming to her." "I mean, come on." "No." "How's the mom doing?" "Not great." "She's about to hit some pretty serious withdrawal of her own." "And she's punishing herself" "By refusing any kind of medication." "You okay, james?" "Hmm?" "Yeah." "No, I'm fine." "Why would I not be okay?" "I'm peachy." "'cause you're acting weird." "Distracted." "Is something going on?" "Not that I know of." "This about that nurse?" "Yeah, okay, it is." "I haven't asked her out." "I'm still waiting to find the right time." "Don't get in your head about it." "There's too much important stuff going on here." "Her lung pressure's critical." "Soon as we get the word from angie," "We need to get her umbilicus cannulated" "And get her off that machine as quickly as possible." "I'm ready." "Yeah, I just need to remind you" "If something goes wrong," "She may be your patient, but I make the call." "I understand." "This baby's mother may be addicted to drugs" "But she's our patient too," "And she's working as hard" "As humanly possible to get healthy." "She asked us to give it to her straight." "Yeah, and I wanted to slow that information down," "For the sake of the mother, and you did not follow my lead." "I know." "You're right." "I'm sorry." "Zoe, I know how much you care about this baby, and you should." "And I'm not gonna tell you to not get" "Emotionally invested in your patients," "But you can't let it cloud your judgment." "The baby's cannulated." "You guys ready?" "Yeah." "Here we go." "Heart rate is consistent." "Come on, baby, breathe." "Holy crap, it's working." "Oh, my god." "Okay." "24 hours." "I have an update for you." "Your daughter's doing well in the womb simulator." "We should be able to bring her out by this evening." "I..." "I feel like I'm gonna die." "You're in your first 48 hours, so I..." "I promise you this is" "As hard as it gets." "I can't do it." "I think you can." "No." "I can't be her mother." "I was saving this" "In case I needed it." "See?" "You still think I can be a mom?" "Yes, I do." "Two days ago you would've taken this." "Today you handed it to me." "I'm terrified I'm gonna mess her up." "I mean, of course I'm gonna mess her up." "That's not being a drug addict, that's being a parent." "Listen, I did an atrial septal defect closure" "On a four-pound baby." "But when my own daughter was born I was..." "Terrified." "I was so scared I was gonna drop her." "Your love for your child..." "Hits you so hard." "But it also makes you stronger." "Yeah, but..." "You had a wife." "And a family." "It's just gonna be me." "You can call me." "I'll be here." "The love you have for your daughter is stronger than this." "You've proven it already." "James." "Since when do you come in this late?" "Since when do you keep track of when I come and go?" "Georgia ray checked out of the hospital this morning." "I know." "You're welcome." "What?" "You asked her to leave?" "She's a truly terrible human being." "james, do you know how many patients I've had" "That are truly terrible?" "Sick people aren't all rainbows and sunshine," "But you don't just kick them out." "I'm not gonna let her talk to my staff like that." "She's acting this way because she is scared, james." "That is what people do when they are scared-- they lash out." "Well, she's already flown back to l.A., so it's too late." "Hey." "Then you go and you get her." "Okay?" "We will do the surgery tomorrow morning." "We will build her vocal cords." "You bring her back here." "James, I have never seen you pass up an opportunity" "To fly your private jet." "Go." "Okay." "Hey, how's it going?" "Well, we've used the growth hormones" "To multiply the fibroblast and epithelial" "Vocal cord cells." "Now we're hoping" "They'll take to the protein scaffolding and grow naturally." "Uh, can I ask you a question?" "Yeah." "What kind of test is this?" "Uh, that's an std panel." "Wait, what?" "Is it yours?" "No, it's my mom's." "Wait, scott ran an std panel on my mom?" "I mean, what kind of woman does he think she is?" "I mean, just 'cause he's this high holy priest doesn't..." "Wait, I'm sorry." "How did you get that?" "I hacked into the system." "Look, I-I really don't need your judgment right now, malik, okay?" "Scott thinks my mom is some kind of floozy." "Wait, what if he's right?" "What if my mom is having sex?" "Hey, scott." "Judge any patients lately?" "Excuse me?" "Just so you know, my mom is a conservative woman." "She goes to church." "And the only man she ever sees" "Is her herbalist." "Oh, my god, she's sleeping with her herbalist." "Angie, did you talk to your mom?" "She won't talk to me." "Nobody will." "She hacked." "I was forced to use alternative methods to gain information." "You know what, I'm glad I did." "Because you're painting" "A scarlet letter all over my mom's sweater set." "Angie, I understand how you're feeling, but... no, you don't." "You seem worried, all right?" "And maybe your mom is, too." "But the best thing that you can do right now" "Is to let her know that you're there for her, 'cause she will talk to you when she's ready, okay?" "She's never going to be ready." "She still sees me like a 12-year-old." "And now you're treating me like a 12-year-old." "Guess I know why you two get along." "All right, she's made it 24 hours." "It's time to take her off." "I've delivered a lot of babies." "But I've never delivered a baby who's already been born." "She'll be okay." "This little girl's a fighter." "Yeah, so's her mom." "Ready?" "Oh, thank god." "Look at that, she's hungry." "Now we just need to get her to eat." "I'll do it." "Shh, shh, shh." "Come on." "Babies can feel your stress." "She's not gonna take it if she feels anxiety from you." "Come on, baby." "Right this way, mr." "Bell." "I'm okay." "How'd you get here?" "Private jet." "I love private jets." "Me, too." "Come back to Bunker Hill." "Let us do the surgery." "I know I got frustrated." "You kicked me out." "Well, you were a lot nicer in saint-tropez." "Well, so were you." "Well, I don't like it when people yell at my doctors." "They're kind of like my family." "I shouldn't have shouted at you." "I can only imagine what it must feel like" "To face losing your gift." "The very thing that makes you special." "Oh, it's not just my gift." "It's..." "It's everything." "Without it, I'm..." "Not anybody." "It's okay to be scared." "I'd be scared, too." "When I built the hospital," "I truly thought we could do anything." "And usually, we can." "I mean, we really go to the ends of the earth" "For our patients, all of them, but..." "Some of them we still can't save, and it's very, very hard." "But I really think that we can help you, georgia." "Please let us try." "Good morning." "How are you feeling?" "I'm realizing now" "It's not a great idea to yell at the person" "Who's about to take a knife to your throat." "Well, luckily for you," "I have a very steady hand and nerves of steel." "I'll see you in there." "Good morning." "How is she doing?" "She took a bottle." "She took three bottles." "How'd you get her to do it?" "I forgot the first thing we tell our patients." "Skin to skin." "She just needed to feel safe." "Well, Skylar's feeling better now." "She's ready to see the baby." "Are you ready?" "You trust her?" "How do you know?" "How do you know she's not gonna harm this baby?" "Sometimes you just have to have faith." "Did it work?" "The surgery was very successful." "Those cords fit in beautifully." "When can I sing again?" "It'll take some work to train your voice" "To get to where it was," "But you can try it out whenever you are ready." "Thank you." "I'm sorry." "I know I was kind of, like..." "A massive bitch." "I've had worse." "I really should thank you." "I am a huge fan of your music." "Oh." "Your song" ""I got this"" "I mean, it got me through a really tough time." "Breakup?" "Oh, no, no, no." "Doctor." "No social life." "When I moved here for my residency..." "My family-- they weren't supportive." "I didn't know a soul here." "And there were moments when I really wondered" "If I'd made a huge mistake." "So I played your song when" "I was driving, when I was walking, when I was in" "My tiny apartment." "And it made me feel like I could do it." "Like I made the right choice." "So," "Everyone-- they say your song is about some underwear model." "But I know it's not about some stupid guy," "Because it is so much deeper than that." "No, hang on." "It's totally about a stupid guy." "Yeah." "I mean, I like your interpretation better," "But don't give up on finding some stupid guy, either." "You never know." "There's always a chance" "He ends up being some great love." "She's doing great." "Is it okay that she's so small?" "Well, dr." "Brockett says she's eating like a champ." "She'll put that weight on fast." "You want to try?" "Okay." "I-I don't even..." "I-I don't think I even know how to hold her." "Shh." "I've been using the football hold" "So it'll be easier on you with your stitches." "shh." "It's okay." "Shh, shh, shh, shh." "Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh." "Like this?" "Seriously like..." "Just like a football." "shh." "Shh." "Shh." "Shh." "Okay." "She doesn't want it." "Well, it might take" "A minute, but you'll get it." "No, I-I don't think she wants me." "It's okay." "Just rock her." "Babies can feel your stress," "So just-- I know it's hard." "Just try to stay calm." "Don't worry too much." "I really suck at being calm." "Yeah, there you go." "Oh, my god." "There you go." "You did it." "Oh, my god." "She's looking at me." "Yeah, she is." "Shh, shh." "Hi." "Hi." "I'm your mom." "I've been thinking about What I want to call you." "I wanted to name you adelaide." "That was my grandma's name." "Your great-grandma." "She was like..." "The strongest, most bad-ass lady I've ever met." "Is that okay, addy?" "Can I call you addy?" "Hi." "Know what you're gonna say." "Got too attached."
