"I cut you some slack." "You agreed to monitor his food and exercise." " You know how kids are." " That's why they have parents." "We have complete insurance now." "At what expense?" "His life?" "He almost died today." "You never said it could get this bad." "He was fine until this morning." "Oh, great." "You're not culpable at all?" "Is that right?" "You're his doctor." "You said he'd be fine for a few months." "If you didn't know this could happen, how could I?" "It's not an emergency, but the child needs IV access." "We know she's often hospitalized, but that has nothing to do with this." "Her veins are sclerosed." "I can't get a thing." "Neither can I. This is ridiculous." "Give me the phone." "Come on." "This is Kerry Weaver, chief of emergency medicine." "Angie's PICC line is infected" "A guardian should know what a PICC line is." "I know her disease is incurable." "But she is treatable now" "It's not a matter of life or death yet, but it could be" "Have you ever seen Angie?" "I'm looking at her now." "I see an eminently treatable girl who" "Thank you." "Thank you for nothing." "He said no." "Give her pain meds and make her comfortable." "There it is." "A heartbeat." "You're definitely pregnant." "You're about eight weeks along."

"We have uncontrolled movements, loss of balance, personality change." " Family history?" " His mom's living." "He doesn't know much about his dad, he died when Waters was 14." " Makes him early- mid-40s?" " Probably." " What did he die of?" " Suicide." "We need to talk to him." "I wish you'd talk some sense into Mark." " He's worried about you." " I know he is." "He also thinks that he can control what's happening to me." "Hell!" "I wish he could, but we all know he can't." "It's a cliché to say you don't wanna be a burden to your children but at my age, I'll be a cliché." "He shouldn't have to deal with everything." "He will, one way or another." "Would your mother let you take care of her?" "She'd sooner go to sea in a canoe." "I don't need to go to that extreme." "I want to check out- What do you call it?" "Not quite a nursing home." " A hospice?" " That's it." "A hospice." "If I stay in Chicago, at least that'll make Mark happy." "Nothing about this will make Mark happy." " Huntington's Disease?" " We think so." " I never heard of it." " A progressive neurological disorder." "It causes loss of balance, mood changes and jerking movements of the body." "And progressive dementia." " Like Alzheimer's?" " There are similarities." "Okay." "We know what it is." "What do I do?" "I'm afraid there's no cure." " How bad will it get?" " A geneticist will tell you." "You're telling me I'll lose control of everything physically and mentally and I can't do anything about it?" "They're developing new treatments." "But at the moment, no." "I'm 46 years old." " How could I get such a thing?" " It's genetic." "You inherited it." "It generally manifests in your early 40s." "It may be why your dad committed suicide." " I could've passed this on to Jo?" " There is a 50-50 chance." "Hyperosmolar coma, no evidence of DKA." "Type Two diabetes." " I'd say." "His blood glucose was 980." " How far did you get?" "Two liters saline, two units IV insulin." "He's still in the PICU." " He was seen here five months ago?" " Apparently." " If it's 980, it was high five months ago." " You'd think so." " Why wasn't it picked up?" " I couldn't say." "Excuse me." " Could you look at this elbow film?" " What's the problem?" "Big anterior fat pad but no fracture." "You the Attending?" "I'm admitting Eddie Bernero." "The diabetic coma?" "Yeah." "He was here in November." "No one picked up on his diabetes." " Do you have the old chart?" " Here's a copy." " Cleo, what was the glucose?" "980." " Not today." "In November." " Should be in the chart." " No urine dip?" " Not that I saw." " I'll look into this." "I'll call you." " Thanks." "Dr. Finch." " An anterior fat pad can be normal." " Thanks." "Something you didn't wanna say in front of him?" " About what?" " The diabetic kid." " He was Carter's." " You're not in surgery?" "We still have the kidney." "We go through recipients like" " Crap through a goose?" " Yeah." "That works." "The Morgan Center will call you." " Hospice?" "Rehab?" " Hospice." " What patient?" " Your father asked me about it." " He may choose palliative care." " You called?" " He asked me to." " What are you doing?" " He asked." "What would you have me do?" " Have him talk to me." " He's a grown man." " A stubborn one." " The other option is your apartment" " I know my options." " You'll look after him?" " With a daytime nurse." "I'll do the rest." " You talked to him?" " I'm handling it, okay?" "Or I was." " I didn't mean to interfere." " Then don't." " Is this what's best for him, or you?" " Stay out of it, please." "Fine." "I can send her up now." "Good." "Thanks." " They can squeeze you in." " I can't see my own ob-gyn?" "No." "Too many potential complications with your renal failure." " Dr. Kovac?" " Yeah?" "This is Steve Maldonado." " The transplant candidate." " Right." " You the surgeon?" " No, but we'll get you started here." "I went out and left my pager at home." "I went home to get it and it went off." "I had it on for 30 seconds." "Yeah." "The nurses need to draw your labs." " This way." " Okay." " Good luck." " Yeah, thanks." "You all right?" "If I could have both, I would be." "But I do want the baby." "Ask for Christine Collins." "Suite 4020." "Okay." "Bye." "Bye." "Okay, Mr. Waters." "The geneticist is Dr. Kevin Casey." "I made an appointment for you on Friday at 11 to go over the results." "I've been ordered to appear in court Friday afternoon." "The incident." "I can make a day out of it." "Uncontrolled temper is a symptom of Huntington's." " They may not hold you responsible." " That's a lousy excuse." " How is Jo doing?" " She's meeting Glen in the lobby now." " That's her fiancé." " Does she want to have the test?" " I didn't tell her." " Mr. Waters, you have to." "If she has the gene, she will get the disease." "My father didn't tell me and I'm glad he didn't." "She has a right to know." "If there's nothing she can do, what's the good in her knowing?" "But if she knows, she can make different choices." "She might not want to work or have kids." "She might not get married." "Might not have a life." "She has to know that she can pass this disease on to her kids." "Why?" "So she won't have any?" "I love my daughter." "And I can't imagine my life without her." "She's had a good life up until now." "A happy life." "I'm gonna keep it that way as long as I can." "If you sign an emergency consent, I can overturn the decision." " Doesn't DCFS have to appoint me?" " I cleared it." "I don't know." "This girl's gonna die of pneumonia." " Her mother wants it." " Her foster mother." "She's had her for four years." "She's her mother." "She just can't afford the medical bills." "But the state can?" "How much has been spent so far?" " Mark." " All right, all right, I'll sign." " Thanks." " Let me know how she responds." "I will." "Can I help you, Robert?" "My niece watched Sesame Street, until she was 8." "Those are the Muppets." "You need something?" "I came for supplies." "We need to discuss your supply management." "And I find this girl's foster parent is conspiring with DCFS and you to circumvent authority and perform a procedure on a gork." "She has no chance of recovery." "Is this correct?" " You' re overstating it." " Am I?" "She has a potentially life-threatening infection, all she needs is a central line." "And her so-called guardian has never seen her." "Well, I've seen her." "We have to give appropriate care." "All I'm doing is exercising a safeguard that's built into the system." "Your sympathy for her mother overrides your clinical judgment." "I disagree." "But thank you for your input." " She's not getting a central line." " She's my patient." " Feel free to hydrate her." " I have a second opinion." "I'm the final opinion." "I'm not competing with the State Welfare Department!" " It's one bureaucrat!" " He's right!" "It's hopeless and expensive!" "Stop flogging her!" "Frankly, I expect more professionalism from you!" "I'm supporting a parental decision!" "Angie is her daughter!" "She's her pet!" "Look at her." "What quality of life do you think she has?" " Robert" " Kerry, I'm serious." "No central line." " Has he always had asthma?" " Since he was 3." " I'm okay, Mom." " You are not okay, Troy." "I saw his wheezing getting worse from the audience." "Breathe." "She came and pulled me off the stage." " That's no fun, is it?" " I don't ever wanna go back to school." "We got a bounce-back." "Collapsed at home." "Loss of consciousness." " Who?" " Grunwald." "Grunwald?" "He was constipated." "Excuse me." " Pulse is down to 50!" " He's unresponsive." "Put in a liter of saline." "See if you can get a BP." " What happened?" " He just fell over." " Get labs, cardiac enzymes." " Pressure's 60 palp." " Mix the dopamine." "He was your patient?" " Yes, abdominal pain." " ST elevations in the leads." " History of heart disease?" " No cardiac problems, right?" " His heart is fine!" " He on medication?" " Codeine and what she gave him." " What was that?" " A laxative." " Bisopro." "Bisoprol" " Bisoprolol?" " Yes." " No, no." "We gave him bisacodyl." " Which one was it?" " Bisoprolol." "But it's not what we gave." " Hal, wake up!" " Can she wait outside, please?" " Come with me." " No, I should stay!" "We need to work on your husband." "Call the cath lab." "Bolus heparin." "What are doing?" "You gave him a beta blocker?" "You dropped his heart rate, pulse, and gave him an Ml." " BP's improving!" " Stand by with a nitro drip." " I didn't write the prescription." " You said you did." " Handed it to him." "I didn't write it." " Who wrote it?" "The labs are back on the transplant recipient." " Good." "Get ready to move him." " You should see this." " You're kidding?" " Nope." "What should I say?" "You think it's okay to tell her?" " It's debatable." " His choice is, not your obligation." "This information affects her life." "I feel I have an obligation to her." "Right, but she isn't your patient." "You can try to convince him." " I did try." " Then you can't tell the daughter." "Your renal failure was caused by rhabdomyolysis." " Yeah." "From muscle breakdown." " And what caused that?" " I don't know." " I think you do." "I was in a car accident." "That could've done it." " Not using drugs?" " No." "You tested positive for cocaine." "Sorry." "I didn't know I was this high on the list." "I hardly ever do it." "I went to a party." "I was depressed." " Damn dialysis." " Get used to it." "I can't have the transplant?" "Cocaine destroyed your kidneys." "You're still using." "Why should you?" " I won't do it after the operation." " You wasted my time." "Please, come on!" "I'm not an addict." "I need this kidney!" "It's viable for only a limited time." "I have an hour to get a real candidate." " You mean someone who deserves it." " Yes." "Dr. Chen?" " Yes?" " This is my fiancé." " How are you?" " Good." "Glen thinks Dad might be suffering from depression." "The mood swings and stuff." "It might be the wedding." "I know he wanted to pay for it." " But it costs a lot of money." " That would be tough." "And Jo is his only daughter." "I'll get the car." "Nice to meet you, Dr. Chen." "So you think it's depression?" "Well, it's hard to say." " Ready to go, Dad?" " Yeah, I am." "Thank you, Dr. Chen." "Thanks for everything." "You're welcome." "Kerry?" "I thought Romano said no to a central line." "He did." "You're doing it anyway?" "I have emergency consent from another physician." "That's all I need." " I've got this." " You need Opsite." "I've got it." " But Kerry" " It's my decision." "It doesn't involve you." "Okay." " Looks like a "P" to me." "Bisoprolol." " It's a "C." Why would I order that?" "What's that say, Carter?" "I can see how the pharmacy could have read it wrong." " They should've called." " Sure." " Blame them." " It can be read both ways." "You, come here." "I need an impartial observer." " That's a faxed copy" " Quiet!" " "C" or a "P"?" " It looks like a "Q."" "Someone else who can't read it." "I prescribed bisacodyl." "That's what I ordered and wrote." "Then why is this patient having an angioplasty for an infarction?" " You heard me say bisacodyl?" " Yeah." "Did you read the label before you handed it out?" " There was a trauma coming in." " Oh, a trauma came in!" "When traumas come in, we can hand out any meds that are around." " Dr. Romano" " Carter, shut up!" " Can I go?" " The incompetence here is scary." " Amazing we're not shut down." " It was an honest mistake." "No, it was tag-team negligence!" "You are both prohibited from writing prescriptions." " How are we going to treat patients?" " Others will write them for you." " How long?" " Until you can write and you can read." " I know how to read." " Then do it!" "Thank you, Carter." "Thank you, Carter." "You gave him the pills without looking at it?" " What you wrote was illegible." " I shouldn't write your scrips anyway." " I didn't ask you" " He's your patient." "You always check the label." "They teach you that on the first day." " You called UNOS?" " I had to get the next patient." "Mrs. Nussbaum is coming from upstate Indiana in 40 minutes." "That's too late." "The new kidney might fail." " I thought we were at 10 hours." " We need to do a workup." "We may need to wait to anesthetize." "We'll assess her." "She's already on her way." " You should've talked to me." " We were in a hurry, we had to move on." "You may not like this guy, but we have a match who's ready for surgery." "You can't be serious." "I'd rather put a healthy kidney in someone than not at all." "The guy knows he's on the UNOS list and can be called at any moment and he's snorting cocaine?" "He's not going to stop using." "He'll burn another organ." "Your Mrs. Nussbaum might not get here in time." "She might not qualify." "It'll go to waste!" "Let it!" "I'd rather take the risk than give it to him." " It's not your risk to take!" " He made his choice." "Give the next person a chance." "Thirty minutes." "Then I'm taking up Mr. Maldonado." " I'm not releasing him." " I don't need you to." " She likes this one, huh?" " It's her favorite." "Most doctors think she's just responding to the light changes." "But I notice a difference." "At least I think I do." " Dr. Weaver put in a central line?" " I know you think it's too much." "But I'm not ready to give her up yet." "I understand." "Excuse me." "Thank you." "You're welcome." " Strep throat ready for discharge." " Penicillin?" "Yep." "Curtain 3..." "Were my instructions in any way unclear?" " No, you made your position known." " And you ignored it?" " I took it under advisement." " Then you're suspended." " Sign out and go home." " Robert, let's" "Right now, Kerry." "Right now." " Suspended?" " Effective now, until further notice." " Carter, you going home?" " Yeah." "I wish I weren't." "My grandparents are throwing a dinner party." " You have to go?" " Attendance is compulsory." " I have a question." " Shoot." "A 12-year-old has abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, no ill contacts." " What do you do?" " Any vomiting?" " No." " Probably gastroenteritis." "Sounds like a trick question." "So I'd probably order a CBC and dip a urine to rule out a UTI." " Thought so." " Do I pick up anything abnormal?" "Nothing on the CBC." "And I don't know about the urine because you didn't order one." "You saw him last fall." "Came back today" "Type Two diabetes." "Hyperosmolar coma." "Cleo told me." " Is he gonna be okay?" " Should be." "Been nice if we caught it earlier." "Yeah, kid must not have looked that sick." " What did I say?" "Stomach flu?" " Yep." "I wish I could remember him." "I feel bad." "Must've misdiagnosed." " He didn't have any insurance." " Really?" "What are they gonna do?" " They're okay." "They have it now." " Oh, good." "Anything else you wanna tell me?" "No." "I made a mistake." "I'm sorry." "Have a nice party." "Thanks." " Hey." " Yes, Peter?" "I didn't like how we left things." "You mean, you screaming at me?"
