"Lots of people downtown wish it had been his head." "You haven't broken your knee." "Looks like you have blood in the joint." " Is that serious?" " No." "You'll feel better once we drain it." "That sounds unpleasant." "It sounds worse than it is." " Could you give us a minute?" " Oh, sure." "Espresso's calling." "Girl lives on caffeine and chocolate." "Alderman when Dr. Lewis examined you, she found a sore." "Yeah." "Is it what I think it is?" " We' re still waiting for the lab results." " But you have some idea." "It's probably syphilis." "That wasn't the diagnosis I was hoping for." " How many partners this year?" " Only one." "Okay." "We'll give you a shot of antibiotics and you'll be fine." "Good." "But we'll need to report it to the Health Department." "Any way we can keep it out of my medical record?" "It's automatic once the labs are done." "But there's no need to worry, your records are confidential." "No, your health records are confidential." "Every time there's an election, I have to release mine." "And syphilis is not a word the voters love to hear." " I understand your concerns." " We'll both get treatment." "You don't think everyone deserves some privacy?" " Her sats are still falling, down to 83." " Okay." "Call Lewis and put her on a mask." " Doug." " Hey, monkeys." " You came." " You making trouble?" " Nice to see you." " Hey, I'm Dr. Pratt."

" She's coming." "I told you not to call him." "I don't want you near my kids, Doug." "Make him leave." " What's up?" " Her sats are down to 83." " Doug, you' re high, aren't you?" " No." "Get the hell out of here." " Who's he?" " Her son." "Mom, please." "Let Doug stay." "So you can sit around and watch him get stoned?" "Come on." "They live with you, watch you sit around and get drunk." "Get the hell out of here." "Get out." "Take slow breaths." " Oh, God." " Mom?" " Sats are down to 78." " Up the 0-2." "Get them out." " Come on." "Come on." " She's not moving any air." "Bag her." "Get 20 of etomidate, 100 of sux, set up for an intubation." "You called him?" "Aunt's in Detroit." "He's here." "I tried to help." "You can help by learning to listen when the patient asks you not to do something." "Jerry, Dr. Lewis mislabeled a swab." "Can we pull it from the lab tray?" "Labs went out an hour ago." "I need you to call and cancel it." "It's under Bright." " The alderman?" " Yeah." "I can try." "She's oxygenating well." "Turn her down to 80 percent and check gas in half an hour." " ICU is full." " Call again." "She needs a bed." "Listen, sorry about that." "I was trying to do the right thing." "You exacerbated a terrible situation." "I told you to call the aunt." "I did." "She's 69 with MS. She can't take care of those kids." "Well, you think stoner boy's gonna do any better?" "Doug?" "Okay, guys." "I gotta talk to the doctors, all right?" "You okay?" "Yeah, I smoked a little this afternoon, you know, but I'm fine now, so..." " Hey, did I kill her?" " No." "We had to put a tube in her throat to help her breathe." " Why did she cough up all that blood?" " She has an infection in her lungs." "Hey, look, I'm sorry I said all that stuff." "It's just" " God, she just gets to me." "Your mom's in stable condition but she's gonna have to be in ICU for at least a week." "Rachel and Marten need a place to stay." "Tonight, at least." "Yeah, I guess." "It doesn't look like your mom's aunt will be able to help out." "Who?" "Aunt Sara?" "She can't even feed herself." "Is there anyone else who can take care of those kids?" "No." "There's nobody." "Packed cells are in." "Tom, listen to me." "You have to go to the O.R." "I won't leave her." " You could die too if you don't." " She's not dead." "Malik, can you see if the next two units are ready?" "Yeah." "Remember when we went up to Lake Louise biking that summer?" "Is that it?" "Yes." "She's gone." "Time of death: 1934." " Mr. Callahan?" " Thank you for letting me be with her." "Okay, let's move him." "I'll call Surgery and catch up to you at the elevators, Malik." "You got it." "Labs came back on your alderman." "Positive for syphilis." "I asked to pull the swab." "It was mislabeled." "You want labs, can't get them." "You don't want them, they get efficient." "Chuny, I need a repeat potassium on Mrs. Callahan." " I'll get it." " What is she still doing here?" " She's an MVA." " Kovac pronounced her an hour ago." "She's in and out of V-tach." "But she's got a pulse." "Jerry, I thought I asked you to pull the alderman's labs." " I called them." "I'll call them again." " It's all right." "I'll take care of it." "Paramedics are pulling up with a kid." "Took a fall." "Don't they call ahead anymore?" "Jerry, make sure those TV news vans are out of the ambulance bay." "Hey, Luka." "Why is Jessie Callahan still in Trauma 1?" "Because she died an hour ago." "Her husband wouldn't go to the O.R. until she passed." "So I unhooked her leads and pronounced her." "Good God." "What happens when he gets back from surgery and finds out his wife is alive?" " I'll tell him it was a miracle." " We need a doctor over here." "This isn't funny, Luka." "You unhooked the monitors of a critically injured woman." "Hardly in the best interest of your patient." "She wasn't my patient, he was." "David Scott, 9 years old." "Altered after a fall from the top bunk of a bunk bed." "Neighbor was babysitting, heard a crash, called 911." "GCS 235." " The real one will be bigger." " I hope so." " Quiche?" " Thank you." "Have you tried these?" " They' re like perfect little salty things." " Don't fill up on those." "With any luck, we may get out early enough to get some real food." " How much are they trying to raise?" " Fifty-eight, I think." "We' re throwing in 10." " Thousand?" " Million." "Right." "So I guess that means you get great seats forever?" "Gamma will." "What do you do with $58 million?" "You get architectural significance." "What's the point of building a cultural edifice if you' re not gonna prove your civic superiority?" "Well, that's a lot of civic superiority." "McNulty's clinic's not far from here." "What do you think he'd do with $58 million?" " Hot hors d'oeuvres in his waiting room?" " Hello, John." "Hello, Gamma." " Hi, Steve." " John." "I'm Millicent Carter, John's grandmother." " Hi." "Abby Lockhart." " Gamma, you've met Abby before." "Oh, I'm sorry." "So many people in John's life." "Don't you look beautiful." "What exactly are canapés?" "I mean, are they different from appetizers?" "I'm not sure, dear." "There's a foundation board meeting on Thursday, John." " Can you come?" " No." "Thank you." "I'd appreciate it." "We' re electing new officers." "Oh, well..." "I thought that was a whoever's-in- the-bathroom-is-president kind of thing." "I'm stepping down." "I'd like you to take your father's place as treasurer." "How did Dad get off so easy?" "I've asked your father to take my place as president." "Don't you think you' re getting a bit long in the tooth for the disaffected youth role, John?" "Gamma, thank you." "But, no, thank you." "I already have a day job." " David, can you open your eyes?" " Looks like a Colles' fracture." " I'm assessing his mental status." " He responds to painful stimuli." " David, do you know where you are?" " I don't know." " All right." "Let's get a head CT." " Lots of old bruises." " Active kid." "Hockey, maybe?" " We should do a long-bone survey." " We have to rule out intracranial bleed." " You guys seen Pratt?" "Mrs. Callahan's potassium's 3. 2." " Okay." "Add 20 of KCL to her next liter." " She's a DNR." "And if she arrests we'll let her go, until then we treat her." "She's dead, Kerry." "Oh, great." "Just what I need." " This is a decision for her husband." " He's had surgery." "If you'd told him the truth he could have given us instructions on his wife's care." "Now we have to decide." "Give her the K." "What can I do for you?" "I'm finished for the day and I come down to say good night and who should I find still sitting in the middle of the ER?" " We' re waiting on tests for the alderman." " Alderman Bright, that's right." "Five hours later." "Did I not tell you to find him a private room?" " He didn't want a private room." " You should've given him one anyway." "He should have had two doctors and five nurses over him every minute." "" Can I get you anything?" "More ice for your knee? "" " We only have five nurse" " I don't give a damn." "Whatever he needs, whatever he wants, you do it and you do it now." "Here you go." " That was a little rude." " Stay out of it." " Excuse me, could I have your attention?" " So was that." "With 200 fewer seats, larger rehearsal hall and dressing rooms, world-class..." "My grandmother doesn't want me to be treasurer of the foundation." " She wants me to quit working." " She's old." "She's probably looking to you to take some of her load." "Embrace my familial responsibilities?" "Join the family business?" "Which is what exactly?" "It's this." "It's giving away money." "It's cutting ribbons." "It's waving to the common man." "It's Prince Charles without the castle." "Don't know about no castle." "Seen your grandmother's house." "Abby, I know that you mean well but don't try to tell me what to do with my life, okay?" " Okay." " John Carter." "CT's ready and he's waking up." " Where's my dad?" " We called him." "How did you get hurt, David?" " I fell off the top bunk." " Okay, we' re gonna take care of you." "This is Chuny." "She's taking you up to get a few more tests, okay?" " You'll find my dad?" " We've already called him, honey." " He should be here any minute." " Dr. Kovac, kid's x-rays are back." "Finally." "I thought Tuesday nights were not busy, huh?" "Who told you that?" " Oh, damn it." " What?" " Is DCFS still around?" " Excuse me." "They told me my son was back here." "David Scott." "Ambulance brought him in a few minutes ago." "He fell out of bed." " Mr. Scott?" " Yeah." "Where is he?" "Is he okay?" "Your son has a broken wrist and he hit his head." "He gets hurt all the time." "More since his mom left." " His exams showed some old injuries." " Yeah." "You see, he doesn't pay attention." "The injuries are suspicious." "What?" "Are you suggesting that I hurt my own son?" " Do you?" " No." "No, of course not." "We' re giving her all the right antibiotics, but her sepsis is very advanced." "So, what are her chances?" "I'm afraid they' re not very good." "I just need to determine what is the best living situation for your brother and sister." "Yeah." "Do you think living with you is the best thing for them?" "Probably not." "So I should find someplace else for them to stay?" "Wait a minute." "You' re not trying to keep them together?" " Is this coming from you?" " I think Doug agrees that foster care is the best option for his brother and sister." "Doug, do you know what foster care is like?" " Most likely, they won't even be together." " We'll do our best to keep them together." " But that doesn't always happen, right?" " We do our best." "Do you know what that means?" "That means they' re gonna get split up." "Their mom's dying, and they' re gonna be separated." "Living with strangers, is that what you want?" " Hey, Doug." "Doug." " Oh, she's right." "Listen, your mom might die." "You need to stay together." "They love you, man." "Right, right." "The dumb stoner who makes them laugh." " You care about them." "That matters." " Hey, I can't take care of two kids." "You'd be surprised at what you can do." "No." "Hey, trust me." "I know." "You just need to step up." "You never should have called me." "All right?" "My mom's right." "They' re all right."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think you have any right to lecture me about my family." "Was that an apology?" " I don't owe you an apology." " Ticket, sir?" "Look, you want me to end up like my father?" "At Gamma's beck and call, handing out checks so the Art Institute gets a de Kooning or the symphony can have travertine" "Why don't you just get involved with the foundation and change the priorities?" "Give the money to health care, education." "Anything you feel passionate about." "I feel passionate about what I do." "I feel passionate about County." " Who says you can't do both?" " I do." "Okay, look, you were born really, really rich." " So what?" "It's nothing to be ashamed of." " I'm not ashamed of who I am." "No?" "You drive a Jeep." "You wear a cheap watch." "You rent a two-bedroom apartment." " What do you want?" "Me to drive a BMW?" " No." "I don't care." "I couldn't care less." "But you care a lot." "You want everybody to think that you' re just like them and you' re not." "You just signed a check for $10 million in there." "You didn't even blink."
