"Mr.Kingsley." "You were admittedjust yesterday for hypertrophiccardiomyopathy?" "Little stutter step with myticker,but I feel great now." "So they adjustedyour medications and stabilized you, but that doesn't mean you should leave." "Look,I know somepatients check out against medical advicefor financial reasons." "Luckily,my wifebought us good insurance." "Then use it.Stay." "You have a very seriousheart condition." "I also havea very serious work deadline." "If I don't make my deadline,I can't make a living, and then my wife can'tbuy us health insurance." "Ironic,huh?" "Almost poetic,but still not a good enough reasonto leave here." "Don't worry.My studio is lowstress." "Less stressfulthan this place." "I meditate,live organically,and the little ladydotes on me." "That's great.All great." "But you still needmedical supervision." "Are you a cardiologist?" "No,just a friendof the hospital." "I'm a private physician." "Private as in house calls?" "Problem solved.You're hiredand I'm out of here." "No,no,no.That's not what I meant." "Doc,I'm gonna walk out that door and go hometo my wife,no matter what." "If you come with me,at leastI have supervision,right?" " Yeah,but - mr.Kingsley?"

"These books,they are the only thing that worked out." "We get one good paycheck a year." "God knows we need it." "Still,this seems like a lot to illustrate in three days." "Which is why I called our publisher for an extension." "For someone who works in children's books,that lady knows a lot of very nasty words." "Hank,this is julie,the writer." "And my wife." "I just went to the hospital and all they'd tell me is that you checked out." "They sent me home,so I found a private doctor.Check him out." "Cut veggies,tea,and a hank are no substitute for a hospital." "The hank tried to tell him that." "Well,I'm feeling zen,which means it's time to get back to work." "Our little guys look bored."

"You're in,like,300 different magazine and billboard ads." "Shouldn't shoppingremind you of work too?" "I have selective memory." "Evan?" " Will you excuse us?" " Wait." "I spoke to you on the phone." "You said your businessis discreet?" "Oh,yeah.Hankmed inventeddiscretion,man." "We're just,you know,too discreet to publicize it." "Fine.My problem isn't allergies." "You're the doctor?" "Physician assistant." "And as a medical practitioner,I'm obligated to maintainconfidentiality." " What she said." " For some reason,I assumed "hankmed" meant a doctor named hank." "You see?" "I should get a branding awardfor coming up with that." "The doctor can come lateror I can help you now." "Okay." "Maybe you can help." "It started last night.Pain when I go." "Internet saida kidney stone.Right?" "It'll pass?" "The internet saysa lot of things." "Did it begin in your backand descend?" "No." "Should it have?" "Most kidney stones do." "Where does it hurt precisely?" "I doubt it's a kidney stone." "I'll have to take a lookat your genitals." "Wouldn't the physiciando that while you assist?" "Can't you just give me a pillI can take for now?" "I'm paying quite a bitfor you to not be a doctor." " I understand that - you know what?"

"I'm shutting you down,nurse guantanamo." "What are you doing?" "Have you ever heardof bedside manner?" "This isn'tabout bedside manner." "This is aboutdiagnosing a problem and helping a patient." "You don't need an M.D.At the end of your name to know what's going on here." "Well,duh.But the guy obviouslydoesn't want to tell a cfo and his P.A." "That his brandnew wife gave him an std." "Where's your trademarkhankmed tact?" "People pay to be treated,not coddled." "And I don't givea tinker's curse for your marketing drivel." "I can't debate youif you talk gibberish that soundskind of like something a chimney sweep from mary poppins would say, but you can't cure him unlessyou win his trust first." "So work with him."

"Mr.Ryder,I apologize." "I believe you mayhave an infection." "I'll need to take some bloodand urine samples... urine samples probably." "To confirm the diagnosis." "Meantime,I can prescribesome antibiotics and painkillers." "Will that be sufficient?" "Delightful." "On behalf of me and my genitals,thank you."

"I prefer the hospital food.Now,if we're done,I'll get to work." "Hey,you know what?" "Tell me aboutall these characters." "I mean,where do you guysget your ideas?" "My wife gets them... from me." "Life experience,I guess." "Zoomer's always beenthe mischievous one." "The little white one?" "No,that's jewel,the good girl." "She's harder to illustratethan he is." "It's all aboutshading the white." "Speaking of shading... your wife shouldknow the truth about how you leftthe hospital." "A year ago I found outl had this thing." "And I know julie is justtrying to protect me,but... you know,I like illustrating for kids,not being treated like one." "This isn't just a thing.Part of your heart is too big." "It's crucial that you monitorand medicate it so you don't developcomplications." "I do.Look at my numbers." "And we should talkabout longterm options." "I mean,there are surgeries youmight be a candidate for." "Longterm?" "You sound like the hospitalI just left." "Let's talk longterm later." "I hired you to get methrough the next three days." "Come in." "Oh,uh,I'm just gonna come on in." "I'm glad you came by.You got my message?" "I did and I decidedto respond in person." "Look,I reallyam sorry about what happened todaywith zack." "Zack?" "Oh,you mean mr.Kingsley." "How is my patient,anyway?" "He's doing well." "Jill,look,he was alreadyleaving hamptons heritage before I even got there." "At least now hehas medical supervision." "What you did,hank,is the definition of "not fair game." "" What do I tell my board membersif they ask me why my boyfriendI'm sorry, exboyfriend poached a seriouscardio case from me?" "Tell them this was unintendedand in no way personal." "And that they're givingtheir hospital a little too much credit." "What the helldoes that mean?" "Let's face it." "Zack wasn't reallygonna undergo his cardiac surgeryat hamptons heritage anyway." "Really?" "And why not?" "Look,it's a great hospitalfor some things." "But,jill,if you hadhis condition,I'd want you at a largerspecialized facility." "My tiny unspecializedfacility is full of dedicated people who save lives every day,just like you used to." "It just so happens,hank,you don't have to get firedto be a good doctor." "come on,please?" "Dude,I didn't evenuse it yet." "Sorry,mr.Lawson.It is a 24hour rental." "I know,but can a brotherget a grace period?" "I mean" "Okay." "All right,thank you,stu." "Now allow meto walk you through the financial benchmarks that wedid not get through yesterday." "Actually,medical updatestake priority." "I know,butokay,but we find... divya,what's the statusof our fake allergy patient?" "He wasn't cooperative,but it's most likelya simple std." "He probably won'tthink it's simple." "When are lab resultsexpected?" "They'll be emailedany time now." "Meanwhile,I started ceftriaxoneand doxycyxline and oxycodone for the pain." "All right,well,widespectrum antibiotics was a good call." "Speaking of good calls,did you make yours?" "No,I haven't called her yet." "You should send flowers.I recommend peonies." "Thank you." " Again with this?" " Not again.Still." "Wife's about to kill me.We just had a baby boy and I'mkee I'm kee" "I'm keeping him up at night." "All right,come here.Let me take a look." "Look,you only delayedthe inevitable yesterday." "When the std resultscome back positive, someone's going to haveto discuss it with them." "Well,that'll bea real dr.Phil moment." "Here is theircontract and invoice." "You take care of thatand I'll take care of him." "Okay,this is tetracaine.It's a mild anesthetic." "It'll relax the larynxand end the spasm." "Thanks." " Thank you!" "Thank you." " No sweat.You got it." "I'm giving you guysan extension." "Dude!" "Dude." "All right,guys,is the case handled?" "I really thinkshe needs backup,doctor." "I've got it.I'm going back there today." "Alone." "Oh,and I read zack's file." "His noncompliance soundslike a liability." "Yeah,you want divya shouldrough him up?" "No,I'm good.I'm going over thereright now." " I got a plan." " Plan?" "Plans are good." "Contracts are better.You don't have onewith him yet,do you?" "Well,I okay,you know what?" "This handshake hank thingis really cute,but now I'm tagging alongwith you." " Fine." " And,by the way,next time we havea staff meeting, we're gonna usethat multimedia station,'cause I slaved overthat powerpoint and I also really wantto use this laser pointer." "Stop it." "Getstop it!" "zack?" "Take a break,picasso." "Zack?" "Step down,please." "I'm okay." "You stopped taking yourcalcium channel blockers." "They wore you out,so you compensated with too many diuretics and now you're dehydratedand cramping." "That's why you fell." "I need a bananafor some potassium." "Zack,we are waypast bananas and tea." "All those diureticsmade you ototoxic." "Temporarily deaf.You can barelyhear me,right?" "Those blockersmake me feel like crap." "I take them,I miss deadlines,and eventually our publisher'sgonna drop us." "I can't affordto play russian roulette with our livelihood." "Well,you're playing russianroulette with your life." "I got to make a living,hank." "Look,I get it.I do." "But if you don'ttake your meds,you could developa severe arrhythmia." "I'm your doctor.You need to listen to me." "What?" "You need to listen to me." "Don't you guys havea triplea discount?" "Coupon in the paper?" "Twoforone special?" "Anything?" "We're here to keep yourhusband alive,ma'am,not steam clean your carpets." "Fine." "Here's a check for half." "I'll give you collateralfor the rest." "What kind of collateral?" "Because I'd really rathernot have to store any valuables,ma'am." "All right." "I don't even haveto ring a bell with a sledgehammer or letyou guess my weight first." "The book is a first edition." "It's worth something." "And be carefulwith the stuffed animals." "Some of them were determinedto be highly flammable." "Kids weresetting these on fire?" "One kid.He was fine,but his parents were lawyers." "Okay." "Forget the collateral.Just... indulge me by completinga survey,okay?" "On a scale of one to ten,how satisfied are you with yourdecision to hire hankmed?" "I didn't want to hire youin the first place." "We tradedan entire cardiac ward for a guy with a duffel bag." "My husband belongsin the hospital." "So can I say,like,9.5?" "I'll just say nine." "I've been avoidingrachel all day." "This allergy rusewon't last long." "Then let's getthis diagnosed and treated,so the two of youcan move on... if you'd let medo the exam now." "The tests showedthat it's not a urinary tract infectionor syphilis." "Why'd you test for syphilis?" "I retired my player's jerseywhen I met rachel." "Although the wild storiesabout mutual fund software entrepreneursare everything you've heard and then some." "Wait." "You thought my wifewas cheating on me right before our wedding?" "Not necessarily." "But given your restrictions,that's all I could test for." "She was on a threeweekphoto shoot." "She flew in for the wedding." "So we haven't been intimatefor a month." "I certainly didn't meanto cast aspersions." "If you let me conducta quick exam ... so far your medical huncheshaven't been that..." ""hunchy." "" So what are yougonna check for now?" "Epididymitisor testicular orchitis." "Uh,neither of thosesounds any good." "I don't name them.I just treat them." "Uh,hey,for the record..." "I don't have a problemwith you being a woman." "Good." "Neither do I." "My problem is you'rean assistant." "Mr.Ryder,if you wouldworry less about my title and focus moreon what I can do, hopefully I can get you backon your honeymoon." "Now... drop 'em." "Yeah,just fax it.That's cool." "Mrs.Kinglsey,we need to talk." "Of course we do." "And you can call ita consultation and charge us for it." "No,no,no.This isn't about the money." "Evan,they can pay what theywant,when they want." "That's actually exactly what iwas about to tell mrs.Kinglsey." "But in exchange,I expect thatsurvey to be filled out,okay?" "Optional commentsection included." "I'll see you at home." "So you've finally realizedyou bit off more than you can chewwith my loving,stubbornashell husband." "No,I realize that youand I want the same thing and we can help each other." "And how's that?" "By convincing zackthat he needs to be your husband first and your illustrator second." "Zack?" "He locked it again." "He gets like this beforeevery deadline." "Zack,open up,buddy." "Even I don't get a key." "The good news is the kitchenand the bathrooms are all on this sideof the door, so eventually he hasto come out." "Zack!" "Zack!" "Open the door,zack!" "What's happening?" "It's calleda flash pulmonary edema." "This fluid's comingfrom his lungs." "Uh,grab that bag,please." "Oh,please." "Don't leave me,sweetie." "Please." "I need you." "It's gonna be okay." "Stay with me,zack." "Please.Please.Please." "Just stay calm and breathe,zack." "This is a bipap machine." "There's fluidbacked up into your lungs." "The bipap will helpyour oxygenation and improve the functionof your heart." "Julie,come here.Can you hold him?" "Keep him sitting upwhile the machine does its work." "You'll feel better soon." "I have you,zack." "I have you." "I'm not putting a gown on." "You wanted a look.I gave you a look." "I eliminated epididymitisand orchitis,but I did see a mildulceration down there." "In order to diagnose it,I'll need to examine your pulse, your temperature,your nose,your ears." "I told you where it hurts." "You're not even lookingon the right end." "This is partof the diagnostic process." "I need to doa full examination and get a scrapingfrom the ulcer to put under a microscope." "The software I inventedsold millions because it gives peoplean answer." "No offense,I just think a doctor would have given me one by nowor at least had a theory." "It could beany number of things." "It would be irresponsibleto speculate out loud at this point." ""Any number of things"?" "Like what?" "Please,be irresponsible." "Granuloma inguinale,chancroid,balanitis,fungal infection, psychosomatic dermatitis,herpes zoster,tuberculosis,hpv,squamous cell carcinoma." "Carcinoma?" "On my honeymoon?" "On my that?" "Oh,god." "I knew somethinghad to happen." "Good.So those are zack's options." "Yep.Do it my way,the right way,or it's back to heritage." "It sounds likea nolose situation for me." "Either way,I get to keepyou alive,zoomer." "All right,fluid's dissipated.How do you feel?" "Lucky,I guess.And cold." "I'll go get your tea." "All right,you ready for the blockers?" "Actually,first I'd like to finish rhetorical question." "Before you do anything else,I need to give youthe medication that'll keep you alive." "Look,the good news isthe iv catheter's already in,so I just haveto switch bags." "And the bad newsis now I'll be lame." "Kids hate lame,hank." "So you'd let your courseof treatment be dictated by peoplewho are threefeet tall and eat paste for fun?" "Why not?" "They dictatethe course of my career." "Don't give up on me." "Get your health back,then you can work ongetting your mojo back." "Hey,maybe you could puta little doctor character in one of your books." "Hey,do I tell youhow to practice medicine?" "Actually,that's exactlywhat you've been doing." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I'm just sayingI never heard of the job." "So how could I knowif a socalled P.A." "Knows a kidney stonefrom a kidney bean?" "Because she works for me,and we ask that question on the hankmedjob application." "You're the doctor?" "Great.Glad to finallyhave you involved." "I've been involved.Divya's kept me informedevery step of the way." "Mr.Ryder,I am happyto check you out,but you were in great hands before I got here." "How far along were you?" "He wouldn't let me give hima full exam." "I gave her a peek." "I thought he didn'thave allergies." "I don'T.I didn'T." "Minor lesionsin the nasal membrane." "In combination withthe other ulceration." "I've seen this overseas." "I don't go overseas." "Were you inthe greenhouse much?" "Only for the wedding." "Did you spendany additional time there?" "Not in your tuxedo perhaps?" "Well... yes." "Rachel came to my doorthe morning of the wedding and made me go skinnydippingwith her through the trees." "I told her it wasbad luck to see each other, but she can be very persuasivewhen she's naked." "I'm sure.I think when you broughtthe tropics to you, you may have gottenmore than you bargained for." " Divya,I'm gonna needa microscope and - a giemsa stain." "I think you have a caseof leishmaniasis." "It's caused by the biteof tropical sand flies." "One of them probablyhitched a ride to america on a tree." "Then bit youupstairs and downstairs while you rompedand frolicked." "Luckily,it's treatable,and you're gonna be okay." "Thank god." "I'll go tell my wifeshe still has a honeymoon to look forward to." "What are you doing here?" "My nephews are big fans." "They're over there waitingfor the reading to start." "Can I ask,do you does this cutoutlook funny to you?" "They're children's bookcharacters." "Yeah,but not "ha ha" funny,like off." "Looks likezoomer and jewel to me." "Okay." "Is that super stan weisman,the cardiologistfrom manhattan?" "What's he doing here?" "Dr.Weisman has a housein the hamptons,and he has kids." "Oh,yeah.No,that makes sense." "And I recruited himto work at hamptons heritage two days a weekevery summer." "That's quite a coup." "I guess sometimesus little people want it more." "Okay,I see whatyou're doing there." "Look,I shouldhave spoken to you before agreeingto treat zack." "I owed you that,and I am sorry." "Yeah,well,he was leaving anyway." "So apology acceptedand we're good?" "I don't thinkit's that simple." "What do you mean?" "This is exactly what happenedwith me and charlie." " Charlie." " Yeah.Charlie,my ex." "You know,once itstopped working personally, we thought we could stillmake it work professionally, but it turns out it's reallyan allornothing deal." "Anything in betweenis just too hard." "So what are you saying?" "I want nothing morethan to see you,hank,but I don't thinkI know how." "I guess nothing's fair game." "It's the only waythat I can move on.I'mI'm sorry." "Hello." "Hank,come quick.Zack collapsed." "He collapsed?" "The cutout." "Jewel's all yellow." "What?" "What does that mean?" "It means that zackis toxic.I'm on my way." "Stand back,ma'am.We've got it." "We were on our way,and he just bp's droppedto 60 over 30." "Heart rate 150 per minute." "I've got a line injust in case." "Stop.I'm his doctor." "He's afib with R.V.R.He needs to be defibbed now." "Yeah,that could kill him.He has digitalis toxicity." "What does that all mean?" "Julie,the teahe always drinks.Do you have the box somewhere?" "There is no box.It's herbal." "He grows it himselfin our garden." "I'm betting that teawas foxglove.It grows wild hereand it makes the digoxin,which slows downthe heart." "He was selfmedicating." "Look,state protocol mandates that we stickto standard treatment." "Yeah,well,we don't have time.I'll take full responsibility." "That's not my call,doc.It's hers." "Julie,did you seethe cutouts he painted?" " No." " Okay." "They showed signsthat his vision had yellowed." "That happens withexcessive digitalis." "Look,I'm on your side,julie." "Hank is his doctor." "Okay,get my bag,please." "I need youto flatten him out." "Clear." "With digitalis toxicity,you push lidocaine,100 milligrams." "Herbal teacan really do this?" "The kind zack drinks can.It's powerful." "So with his heart condition,overdosing is easy." "Heart's still racingat 150." " Are you sure?" " Yes,it'll drop." "Heart rate's really dropping." "Too low,it's in the 30s." "He could flatline." " How's his pressure?" " 100 over 50." "Set upthe external pacemaker just in case his pressuredrops too low before this kicks in." "Welcome back,buddy." "He's gonna be okay." "So we'll give youiv pentavalent antimony with allopurinol." "And I'll cut backon my naked frolicking in the elements too." "You'll be all betterby month's end." "This survey evan gave me.Two questions." "Can I rate youhigher than a ten?" "And for "condition treated" it doesn't seemto have a box for flies inside my fly." "Just check "other"." "Check." "I owe you a thanksand an apology." "I was uncooperative." "I put too much valueon perception sometimes." "But sometimes the best stocks are the gemsnobody's heard of yet." "Hi,baby." "How's my super fly guy?" "The P.A.ThinksI'll be better by?" "Oh,right here."
