"Nance, probie." " What's shakin', Tyler?" " Another day, another shift." "Fair enough." "What?" " Seriously, you didn't notice that?" " Notice what?" "Tyler just walked through covered in blood." "Looks like he's coming back from a slaughterhouse or something." "No, I didn't notice anything." "You people are weird." "You think us people are pretty messed up, huh?" "No, I didn't mean it like that." "I'm just saying, guy walks by covered in blood, and you don't even notice it..." "This is your expert opinion based on your observations?" "So if us people are so different from you, then tell me this, who is it standing here in front of me in a uniform about to drive the rig?" "Hey, Danny!" "Danny!" "What?" " Switch with me." " Nah." "I'm not dumb enough for that job." "Danny!" "What?" " Do you hear anything?" " No!" "Glenn, you get this guy." "He hit pretty hard." "Back up guys, huh?" "Is he conscious?" "Yeah." "Okay, sir, can you tell me where it hurts?" " Everywhere." " Where does it hurt most?" "Back." "Legs!" "Nance!" " I'm coming!" " I got you." "I got..." "I'll be there!" "Okay." "Okay, sir, you've broken your legs." "You fractured your back." "I'm gonna give you something for the pain." " Can you wiggle your toes?" " Nancy!" "Okay, guys!" "I need you to board him, load him." "He's fractured his back, he's broken his legs." " I need you to give him some morphine." " Okay, we got him." "His arm's off." "His arm's off." "Yeah, I noticed." "Oh, I know, I know, I know." "Okay, this is a load and go, Glenn." "I'm gonna need some more gauze." "Glenn, I need gauze." "Glenn?" "Oh, Glenn." "And you're okay to drive, or do I have to hit you with the smelling salts again?" "I'm good." "Hey, can you not tell anyone about this?" "Sure." "Promise." "But, you know, Glenn, it's not about whether the job gets to you." "It's about how you deal with it when it does." "Having fun?" "Yeah." "Winner picks dinner." "You ready?" "I'm Rabbit." "What's your name?" "Jessica." "I think my ankle is broken." "I think you're right." "All right, darlin', I'm taking you home." "I can't believe I have to be airlifted off a mountain." "You must think I'm such an idiot." "On the list of stupid things we see, you ain't even in the top 100." "Excuse me." "Thanks for coming to get me." "That's what I do." "What, did you fly there on a magic carpet?" "How about a little love for the pilot?" "Don't be needy." "So I bet you've seen a lot." "Oh, yeah." "And some." "You're doing the Clint Eastwood squint off into the distance, aren't you?" "So what's the most intense thing you ever did?" "Uh, it's hard to say." "Well, pick one." "Um, a minivan in the cal salmon river, upside down, wedged against a boulder, about a hundred feet from a class five rapid." "I'm inside on a line, trying to cut junior out of his car seat, and the van decides to go rafting." "Oh, my god." "What happened?" "You know, I grab junior under one arm, superman out the side window just as the van hits the white water." "Rocks tore it to pieces." "That's incredible." "You all right?" "Aw, don't worry about this." "It's just a little chunky air." "We'll be through it in a sec." "Hey, how we doing?" "There's only up and down, both are bad." "Okay, I don't..." "I don't like this." "It's okay." "You'll be fine." "Just look into my eyes." "Not gonna let anything bad happen to you." "All right?" "Doin' good." "Okay." "You're gonna be..." "Oh!" "How we doing?" "I..." "I'm okay." "Sexy." "Hey, Rabbit." "Rabbit." "What's up, man?" "You feeling all right?" "Yeah, groovy." "Hey, you got a transport to Stanford." "Severed arm." "All right." "All right, the docs at stanford hospital are gonna put your arm back together." "Cutting edge stuff." "Did you have to put it that way?" "Sorry." "You know you're screwed when your paramedic faints." "What, Glenn fainted?" "Drop it, Rabbit." "Wait a minute." "You fainted?" " Did something happen?" " No, nothing happened." "Why don't we just focus on fixing up phil's arm and stop gossiping?" "Can you do that, Rabbit?" "Okay, Nancy." "So tell me what happened." "Who was it?" "I don't know." "You, tell me." "Names, faces." "This is what my life has become." "I'm a Facebook whore." "I mean, I can't even help it." "I'll friend anybody, even if I don't know them." "It's like a thing with me now." "Well, you know, the first step is admitting that you have a problem." " The first step... good, I'm off to the right..." " Check this out." " Wha..." " Ava, she put that in my lunch." "She put this... it's very impressive for a six year old." "I love the anger in the grape's eyes as he stabs the guy." "Dude, that's me, giving a guy an I.V." "I don't think so." "Looks like a pissed-off grape." "Dude, you should never have kids, man." "Are you kidding?" "I'll be like the cool dad." "They'll come to my house, like, the cool house." " It's good, yeah. " " All right." "Hey, C, check it out." "They're turning it around." "I saw it five times already, dad." "When are we gonna get on?" "We're definitely on the next car." "Hey, man, what are you doing?" "There's a line." "I was in line." "I had to use the can." "Relax." "Hey, you need to relax and get behind me." "All right, come on, man." "What?" " Hey, call P.D." " You got it." "Medic 78, show us on scene, hyde/beach turnaround." "Fight in progress, send P.D. Code 3." "Sir, how you doing?" "I'm Boone." "What's your name?" " John." " John?" " This is Caleb." "It's okay, buddy." "Don't be scared." " What's up, Caleb?" "Hey, Caleb." "Hey, I'm Tyler, man." "Can I show you something?" "Check this out." "Now, do you like Teddy bears?" "No tingling?" "All right, let me take a look." "Sir, do you know a piece of your tongue is missing?" "I spit it out somewhere over there." "All right, all right." "Hold on." "Hey, man." "Can you help me find this guy's tongue?" "Why... why... why do I have to find the tongue?" "Because EMTs find the tongue." "You're not a paramedic." "You gotta study harder, bro." "You went right to it, didn't you?" "No hesitation, all right." "Why do I always gotta find the tongue?" "Can't ever be a fingertip or a piece of an ear." "'Scuse me, people, looking for a tongue." "Why can't it be a kidney?" "A kidney I could find." "Anybody see a tongue?" "Just..." "Hey, buddy." "What's that?" "Found it!" "You know, I was a smoke jumper up in Oregon." "Grant's pass." "That was intense." "You love that word, huh?" " Which word?" " Intense." "Okay, so I'm dragging this brush, and this baby raccoon, he waddles right up to me, and he's all wobbly from dehydration, and I take out my canteen, and I let him drink right from it." "That story gets you laid a lot, huh?" "Yeah." "Sometimes." "Yeah, 'cause girls dig intensity, mixed with a little sensitivity..." "Toward raccoons." "Come on." "Let me take you out for a drink sometime after work." "I don't know anything about you." "You know what?" "You really remind me of this guy I met on a call." "He kept asking me out over and over." "Did you go out with him?" "No, he died." "He kept asking me out because he had a closed head injury." "Yeah?" "Hey, aren't you gonna open your present?" "Your own personal barf bag." "Welcome to the club, Rabbit." "It's about time." "I launched my second week on the job over the doctors' parking lot at city." "Amateur." "Try yakking into a bag while you're trying to pull a guy off a mountain in 20-knot crosswinds." "You having fun?" "Oh, come on, so you puked." "Big deal." "I mean, yeah, you could have aimed a little better, but whatever." "It happens to everybody." "Doesn't happen to me." "You know, a lot of the other kids in his class already have a cell phone." " But I'm afraid we're gonna get him one, he's gonna lose it." " Right." "And then again, I don't want him to be the only one in his class without one." "Would you two like to be alone?" "Do you smell smoke?" "Don't try and change the subject." " The wall's on fire." " What?" "We gotta get out of here!" "Come on!" "Oh, thank god, you're here!" "I got a callus on my finger I could use a band-aid for!" "You can get back to your xbox in no time, vic." "You want to do some real work?" "Grab a hose." "Why are you guys always trying to get me to touch your hose?" " Hey, get a room, you two!" " Hey, ray!" "Hey, bob, what's up?" "So anybody still inside?" "Uh, owner says no, but until they clear the smoke, we have no idea." "Okay, so what do we have?" "Uh, I could really use you on that guy over there." "All right." "Please, you have to help my husband." "He's really hurt." "All right." "All right, sir." "Look, I'm Boone, that's Tyler." "What's your name, sir?" " Doug." " All right, Doug." "Are you having any trouble breathing?" "You let me know if you do, all right?" "You know what?" "We got first and second-degree burns on the back." "We have partial thickness on his arm." " Okay, sorry." " This is all my fault." "He got burned because he was trying to save me." "You know what, ma'am?" "I know this is scary." "The best thing that you can do right now for your husband is to just go ahead and let us and do our jobs." "Why don't you go ahead and have a seat right here?" "Have a seat and relax, all right?" "He's gonna be fine, okay?" "Okay, here we go." "Wendy thinks I shielded her." "I just tripped." "Yeah, well, uh, you love your wife, doug?" "Yes." "Just shut up and be a hero." "We have one down in here!" "Boone, Tyler, take it!" "We'll cover you!" "Guys, where we at?" "Watch out." "All right." "Let's roll him over." "Set him up." "All right, he's not breathing." "Airway clear." "Patching and beginning compression." "All right, one second." "Hold CPR." "All right, this dude is flatlined." "Continue CPR." "Epi, one milligram." " Hold CPR." " Holding." "Come on, big man, work with me just a little bit." "I think we should be off." " I'm gonna call it." " Yeah?" "What?" "Yep, okay." "Dude got a condom on." "I love chinese food, but not like that." "What was he doing in the back?" "Everybody else went out of the front." "Tyler!" "Tyler, come here!" "Move back from the door, okay?" " On three, okay?" " All right." "One, two, three." " Come on!" " It's okay!" "They're probably illegals." "Now the guy with the condom makes sense." "They're running a brothel upstairs." "She's a real piece of work, saying the building's empty, knowing they're locked upstairs." "Hey, do you... do you understand english?" "Okay, the smoke can cause your throat to close, so I need to look inside your mouth and nose." "All right?" "Hey, stop!" "Let go!" "Whoa, come on!" "Calm down!" "Pull them!" "Pull!" "They're strong!" "Relax." "I'm gonna let you go, okay?" "I let you go." "It's okay." "Hey, I could..." "I could use a hand over here." "You stay here." "It looks like she could lose that eye." "Hey, Ray." "Why aren't you throwing her in jail for pandering?" "I'd love to." "Give me a witness." "The John is dead, and none of these girls will talk." "You see what I'm saying?" "She's scared." "You blame her?" "Believe it or not, they're usually more afraid of being deported than they are of the pimps." "As long as we're good with 16 and we're open, what you said is fine." "Keep that." " I must be hallucinating." " Hey, Will." "Can it be that the contractor I'm paying thousands of dollars to is actually here at my house?" "What can I do for you today?" "What the hell is that?" "I wanted a bay window for the window seat." "It is a bay window." "No, it's a box window." "It's a bay box." "I'm not gonna pay for a bay box." "You already did." "You have no respect for me, do you?" "You just think I'm just some clueless nebbish that you can take advantage of and lie to, is that it?" " Well, I'm sick of it." "We're gonna talk right now!" " We'll talk when you're calmer." "Where do you think you're going?" "Unit dispatch medic, penetrating trauma, to 144201 Washington Street." "He's back here." "His name's Will." "Yow." "Hi, Will." "How are you doing, Will?" "Oh, I'm doing fantastic." "Good." "Funny." "I like that." "I'm hilarious when I don't have a metal pole through my stomach." " Are you on any medications?" " No." "Pulse is 120 and strong." "Okay, stomach's soft, perfusing well." "Give me a 14." "Yeah." "Yeah, wow." "Will, you are one very lucky guy." "I am?" "You have two arteries here, right?" "The internal and the external iliac." "They're like a wishbone." "This bar went straight between them." "And that's good, right?" "Put it this way." "If it had hit one, you would be marching towards the light right now." "If I didn't know you better, I'd think you weren't hating this." "I just pretend they're all patients in a psych ward." "It works." " Hey, Nancy, what's going on?" " I know it's your day off, but, um..." "I got a guy with rebar stuck in him." " Ouch." " Yeah, and that's not the best of it." "It's gone straight between his internal and external iliac." " Any internal bleeding?" " No, none." "It sounds like a miracle." "Well, it is, except he's gonna need a really great surgeon when he gets to city, and" "I'm talking your kind of great." "I'm not home." "I'm at a fundraiser at the conservatory." "Don't say it." "We'll come get you." "Unit dispatch Angel Rescue zero-two, contact medic 214 regarding transport." "Angel Rescue zero-Two, contact medic 214 regarding transport." " Do you want to trade jobs for a week?" " Sure." " Do I get your paycheck?" " Absolutely." "You can have my mortgage too." "How you doing?" "Fine." "Why?" "Just a question." " Oh, come on, just tell him." " Tell me what?" " I have no idea." " He puked." "Once." "Once, okay, and suddenly she thinks I've got P.T.S.D. Come on." " Do you?" " No... no!" "I don't know." "Why?" "What are the symptoms?" "Off the top of my head, emotional numbing, irritability, hypersexuality, aggressive behavior, insomnia, substance abuse." "Okay, all right, look, you just described the last 22 years of my life." "Come on." " Got any flashbacks?" " No." "No flashbacks." "No flashbacks!" "No flashbacks doesn't mean no P.T.S.D." "Well, you know, it's probably one of those inner ear things." "A year ago, you were in a coma." "Oh, here we go." "You watched your best friend die." "Look, Rabbit, you've come back physically from the crash, but that's only part of the process." "You hear me?" "Did you ever see that therapist I recommended?" "Sure, yeah." "Uh, Dr. Denise Frederickson." "What happened?" "Well, we both decided I wasn't ready." "Then we slept together." "Okay, will, we're just gonna try and lift you a little at a time, so we can get to that rebar and begin to cut you off." " Okay." " You want me to call your wife?" "Uh, no." " No, we're kind of taking a little break right now." " Okay." "She's... she's kind of taking a break from me right now." " Sure, get your heads clear, huh, Will?" " Yeah." "Sometimes all you need is a couple weeks." "Yeah." "It's... it's been six months." "You know, she used to... she used to love sitting at that table," " looking out at the view." " Yeah?" "That's why I'm building her this room with a window seat." "You are a romantic guy, Will." " Do you need some more morphine?" " No." "Okay, are we ready?" "On my count." "One... two... three." "God!" "Doing great, Will." "You're doing great." "We're so nearly there." "Hold this." "Stop for a second." "Okay, I need some large trauma dressings now." "What's happening?" "It's okay." "You're just bleeding a little." "We're just gonna take care of it." "Can you come here and hold this?" "Can you just put on pressure here?" "A lot of pressure right there." "Medic 114 to Angel Rescue two-Zero." "What's your 20?" "My 20's that these headwinds are kicking our ass." "En route to City Hospital." " I need Dr. Joe here now." " What happened?" "We nicked him on the way up." "He started to bleed." "I can't be hands on for at least ten minutes." "You're gonna have to handle it till we get there, Nancy." "Get in and shut down the bleeder." "I am not a vascular surgeon, Joe." "You have the training, and right now, we have no choice." "I'll talk you through it." "I can't do this." "If that artery is ruptured and you don't, he'll die." "How we doing, Will?" "Oh, great." "Have you ever done this before?" "No, but I am an M.D." "But you're not a doctor?" "No, but, uh... it's complicated, and you're bleeding." "Okay." "Medic 114 to Angel Rescue two-zero." "Let's do this." "Okay, you're gonna need to open up the site around the impalement to get to the bleeder." "Okay, scalpel." "Suction." "Come on, suction." "All right." "Okay, retract that." "Got it." " Are we done yet?" " Yeah, Will, we're nearly done." " Okay." " Just, uh, hang on in there." "You're doing great, Will." " Can you see the bleeder?" " Uh, yeah." "I see the bleeder." "Hemostatic dressing." "Hold this." " Okay." "Damn it!" " Talk to me." "Yeah, there are two bleeders, both the internal and the external iliac." "They're both leaking." "One at a time." "Elevate the common and external lilacs, so you can get a better visual on the internal." "Uh, you're doing great, Will." "Can you clamp it?" "Yeah." "Hemostat." "Okay, internal iliac clamped." "You can drop in anytime, Joe." "There are too many power lines." "We're gonna have to land farther off." "I got O2 sat 94, heart rate 130." "Okay, he's crashing, Joe." "You're gonna need to do a ligation." "Sutures." "Okay, keep this clamped." "You got it?" "Got it, got it." "Okay, I got one." "It doesn't have to be pretty, just tight." "Hang in there, will." "Hang in there, buddy." "Okay, hold this." "Okay, I think I've got two." "Are they holding?" "Yeah." "Yeah, they're holding, Joe." "What the... what's this?" "Hey, Tyler." " Kim!" " Hey, come on, man." " Get in the rig." " What?" "We're leaving." "Get inside." "You go with him, you're gonna be right back where you started." "Please." " Just when I thought you couldn't do any more to impress me..." " Thanks." " And I miss out on all the fun." " Yeah, yeah." " How you doing, will?" " I'm okay." "Okay." "All right, people, let's get a move on." "On one, two, three, up." " And you have a great story to tell." " So do you." "No, but impaled ones are always awesome." " The ones that live?" " Yeah, sure." "Them too." "Hey, crazy day out there, huh, guys?" "Most of them are, Glenn." "I mean, I faint, you puke." "Must be something in the air." "What you talking about?" "I heard you got sick... in the copter." " Happens to the best of us." " Are you comparing us?" " No." "I was just saying..." " I didn't get sick, okay?" "I don't know what you heard, and I don't know what goes on inside your head, apart from bad medicine, but you and I got nothing in common." "We clear?" "Yeah, sorry." "All right." "Do your job." "Dude." "You know, now that he mentions it, you two are kind of similar." "It'd be cool if you stopped spreading that around, all right?" "I would never." "Man, looks like we got paranoia andaggressive behavior." "Hey, will you just back off the whole post-traumatic stress thing?" "It's really starting to bug me out." "Why don't you back off?" "I just need to keep her here for a few hours." "Then what?" "I'm working on something." " Okay." " Thanks." "Okay, Kim, you can stay here in America, but you're gonna have to tell the police the truth about Mrs. Li, about that man, and what they made you do." "No, I know you're scared, but this is the only way out of this I can see." "What?" "Kim, you don't have to go with him." "You cannot help me." "Stay here." "Okay?" "Two minutes." "Hey, get out!" "It's a free country." "Trust me, I know." "She's not going with you." "I'd like to hear that from her." "It's not gonna happen, man." " Kim!" " Hey!" "Shut up." "Hey, would you get him out of here?" "Hey!" "Get out of here!" "Get out of here!" "Look, Kim..." "He's wrong." "I wasn't born to be a whore." "I know." "I testify." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "So what did I miss?" "What are you talking about?" "The surgery." "I obviously did something wrong." "You were pissed." "Yeah, I was pissed, but not because you did anything wrong." "It was 'cause you did everything right." "You're welcome." "I'm not gonna pat you on the head like a little kid." "There are maybe five doctors on the west coast who could have pulled off that surgery in those conditions." "You have a gift, and I am getting tired watching you dance around it." "You do us all a disservice, especially yourself." "Hey, Teddy." "I want to go up." "I'm not a tour guide, and we're wind-cautioned." "Well, between your child support and your online poker," "You're in the hole every month." "500 bucks, 10 minutes." "What do you say?" "Between you and me." "All right!" "I can't do this!" "I'm landing!" " A thousand!" " No!" " 2, 000!" " No!" "I can't spend it if I'm dead!" "You want to go for a drink?" "Yeah." "Yeah, sure." "Yeah." "I would not be surprised if Teddy reports you." "He thinks you're insane." "Teddy just took me up in a windstorm for 500 bucks." "He ain't saying a thing." "Every time I come to terms with how crazy you are, you get crazier." "It sounds like the problem is your inability to gauge my level of craziness." "Rabbit, if you're losing your mind, because you refuse to deal with your past, then just tell me, and I'll request another medic." "But I am dealing with it... in my own way." "Yeah." "What is so scary about talking to somebody, Rabbit?" "What happened to you is not gonna go away, okay?" "So why don't you just... just get it all out and deal with it?" "So what if you get it all out, and then you can't, you know, get it all back in?" "Yeah, that's what I thought." " Wait." " Hey." "You're a good man." "Wow." "She doesn't know you at all." "I'll be out..." "I'll be out there." "Hey, listen, you know, I've seen a lot of bad things happen to people, and few of them get a chance to change that." "Now, you do." "You're lucky." "I don't feel lucky." "Well, hopefully, someday you do." "Goodbye, Kim." "Goodbye." "All right." "Another smart comment, I'm gonna make you clean this rig for a month." "I already clean this rig." "One, two, three, four..." " You guys good?" " Oh, yes, Frankie, we are great." "In fact, we are outstanding." "I'm glad to hear that, young lady." "Seriously, Nancy what you did today, that was amazing." "You know, that is the second guy that I have seen with a spike of rebar in him." "Maybe even the third." "You know this... this whole conflicted, complicated thing you have going on is kind of a turn-on." "And here I was thinking it was my intensity." "Okay." "No, no, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, okay?" "Keep going, keep going, keep going." "I like the way your mouth moves when you talk." "So why aren't you a doctor?" "I mean, come on." "There's got to be a story behind that." "Yep, but not for tonight." " Two more, Frankie." " Coming right up, dear." "I just..." "I just..." "I..." "I just think you're this fascinating character." "I want to get it right." "Here you go." "Get it right?" "Get what right?" " The book." " The book?" "I'm writing a book about, like, street medicine, the things I see, like, what I experience." "I'm..." "I'm... that's my thing." "Oh, Glenn." "You were 15 minutes away from getting laid." "trauma S01E04"
