"Who is that guy?" "That is Dr. Luc Bovell." "He and I studied under her dad." "He's one of the reasons" "Dr. Jordan went to the Medtech Conference." "He's on the cutting edge of cardiothoracic medicine." "So, he's a heart guy?" "The best." "So scarred we couldn't even see the liver." "It was like trying to look through a wall of dirty ice."

"Andrew was assisting me-- he was doing an admirable job, but neither one of us could get to the organ." "Then, William comes in." "Oh, that would be Dr. Foster to the rest of us." "Yes." "Right." "So, anyway, he comes in, takes one look at the body, grabs four clamps, reaches in with his bare hands, and a second later, extracts the liver, tosses it in a pan and leaves." "Never said a word."

"This one's gonna heal with ice and anti-inflammatories." "Hey, let me ask you something." "Mm-hmm." "I met this new doctor working here." "He mentioned bypass grafting surgery." "Really?" "Did I say something wrong?" "No, Lester, not at all." "At the moment, I don't think bypass is the right way to go, but let me consult with Dr. Bovell." "I'll get back to you." "Okay." "Oh, God, I could use a drink." "Or ten." "Look, there's got to be an upside to not being pregnant anymore, right?" "Oh, yeah, you're right, 'cause that's the only reason why ten drinks would be bad for you." "You're a real ray of sunshine, you know that?" "Yeah, I get that a lot, thanks." "Me, too." "I..."

"Did you talk to Lester Dimes?" "Who's that?" "He's my patient with coronary artery disease, who, now, apparently, wants to explore the possibilities of bypass grafting surgery." "It's a perfect opportunity for him." "No." "It's a perfect opportunity for you, Luc, to use the Raposo... hey, hey." "Hey!" "Oh, sorry." "Oh, this is something new for you, Luc, creating problems." "I'm just used to cleaning your messes up after the fact." "I don't create messes." "Really?" "What about the Skidman transplant?" "Who went to tell her family that she died?" "You're good at that kind of thing." "Nobody is good at that kind of thing, Luc, but it's a part of the job that you don't want to do." "You're right." "And why should I?" "People die, Andrew." "Start attaching emotions to it, and you lose the bigger picture." "It's like Dr. Foster said." ""Death is a learning experience""" "you use it to move the medicine forward." "Okay, so is that how you see Lester?" "As a possible learning experience?" "Oh, I'm sorry if it bothers you, but there it is." "Unbelievable." "Dr. Jordan?" "Sneaking a peek?" "You know, I don't think I officially said welcome back." "Welcome back." "When is Luc leaving?" "This is about Lester Dimes, isn't it?" "You knew about this?" "I considered bypass grafting surgery and decided against it." "When it was an open heart procedure that Lester might not have survived." "Luc should never have talked to my patient." "You are absolutely right, but Luc is not wrong in his assessment." "Oh, come on, Andy." "The Raposo has tangible, immediate uses." "S-so what you're saying is..." "It's Lester's choice now." "How's she doing?" "Well, her pressure dropped due to the blood loss earlier this morning." "However, we supported her blood pressure while we replaced her vascular volume, so..." "I think she's out of the woods now." "And the, um..." "The results on the fluid in her stomach?" "We're still waiting." "Do you know anything about her family history that could help?" "Oh, you mean like diseases and stuff?" "Yeah." "Look, all I know is they mentally messed her up." "Dad took off, her mom was always in some kind of trouble." "When I met her, she was crashing at the bar she worked at." "Sleeping on a cot in the keg room." "You believe that?" "Yeah, I do." "Try and be there for her, you know." "I mean, I love her." "That's why this-this baby..." "We were gonna be really good to that kid." "How are you doing?" "I don't know." "She pretty much just dumped me in there, so..." "Look, sometimes people push you away just to see if you'll actually go." "Trust me, whether she meant it or not, she meant it." "Just, uh, give these to her, will you?" "Let her know" "I'm at Mitch's..." "If she cares." "Okay, here's the thing, Lester." "The bypass surgery Dr. Bovell told you about-- it pushes transplant down the road, but eventually, you will need a new heart." "And if you wait for transplant, you'll have one surgery instead of two." "Let's say I get a heart tomorrow." "Mm-hmm." "Won't it eventually wear out?" "Yeah, well, that..." "That may take up to 25 years." "Or my body could reject it." "The statistics are in your favor, and the anti-rejection medications are..." "They're very effective." "With the Raposo thing, I don't need any meds." "Sure." "But bypass buys you ten years, maximum." "That's it." "Which sounds like a lot of time." "You're also gonna be ten years older." "It's gonna be harder to get you re-listed." "Yeah." "What would you do?" "I would wait for transplant." "But if you're going to have bypass," "Dr. Bovell and the Raposo are the only way to go." "Aah!" "Either way, I'm gonna have one kind of surgery or another." "Mm." "But I like my heart." "Let's do the bypass." "Okay, let's do it." "Of course." "Hi." "So, look, we got the results back from your fluid tests, and the ascites is being caused by your liver." "Figures." "I quit drinking for five months and it gets pissed off." "Yeah, well, it's a little bit more than pissed off." "The results from your function studies show end-stage liver disease, which means you will need a transplant very soon." "You've got to be kidding." "I'm not." "So what now?" "We get you listed with UNOS." "It's an organization that governs transplants." "But I can't pay for this." "I can't even afford baby clothes, remember?" "I know, I know, I know, I know," "Jill, but I've already processed the forms with Medicaid." "A social worker is going to come and talk to you, and she's going to evaluate your fitness for the transplant." "I have to pass a mental test?" "You just have to be honest." "It's important." "Hey." "Hey." "Some science fiction happening here, Dr. Yablonski." "This machine go to med school?" "Yeah, MIT." "It graduated with honors." "You ready?" "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah, I am." "Okay." "I'll see you back in your room." "Okay." "All right, Mr. Dimes, just breathe normally." "These are my hands, those are my eyes, amplified 20 times." "It's the kind of precision we dreamed of as students." "Now what?" "My assistants are going to place some transducers, and..." "Then we'll be ready to go." "Okay, let's get this show on the road."

"Per my interview with her, she's an admitted drinker who just terminated the only long-term relationship she's had, leaving her with no means of support." "Additionally, she had a false pregnancy that she carried into its sixth month without any regard for medical care." "No, no, no, no, no, there was no baby." "She didn't know that." "Well, you're right, but because she believed she was pregnant, she gave up every bad habit she had, which I think shows an ability to be a good steward for the liver." "The fact remains, though," "Jill Hollis needs a liver transplant because she drank this one into disuse." "No, she didn't." "I ran a liver biopsy, and all the symptoms that made Jill believe she was pregnant-- the fatigue, the nausea, the belly distension, even the loss of her periods-- are all indicative of autoimmune hepatitis, which is a congenital condition." "So her liver was going to fail regardless." "Exactly." "Look, we can't just overlook her personal instability." "And we also can't overlook all the efforts she's made." "I believe she can do this." "I do, too." "So let's put it to a vote." "Hi." "We got you listed." "And now what?" "We go the distance-- keep you clean, keep you healthy, wait for a good liver." "And then I just walk off into the sunset?" "Pretty much, with some very strong antirejection meds, yeah." "And what about drinking, smoking, you know, living?" "No, those are things that you're past now." "No, they aren't." "Well..." "They're going to have to be." "Otherwise I will take you off that list." "Then take me off." "Jill..." "Do you want me to lie to you, tell you that I'll be clean and sober and love this liver like a baby?" "Is that what you want?" "No, I want you to get counseling." "I want you to go to meetings." "I want you to see this as a thing that you can handle, something you've been handling." "That's when I thought I was pregnant." "What's the point now?" "The point now is that you get to live." "I'm not going to do it, no way." "How's she doing?" "Already gave her the local." "Okay." "Okay." "Hand me the trephine." "You're still a resident, right?" "Yeah." "Mm-hmm." "Large forceps." "So where do you plan to end up?" "Well, I'm still exploring my options." "You should think about coming over here." "Yeah, why is that?" "Well, first of all, nobody dies over here."

"Perfect-- his renal function's good." "Lester, are you allergic to any shellfish or dye?" "What?" "No." "Okay, let's inject him." "Lester, this is going to be difficult, but you have to remain still." "Okay?" "You understand?" "Uh-huh." "Okay." "Don't usually see you prepping the ct." "If this morning's procedure caused a pulmonary embolism, mea culpa." "Let's just give it a moment and see." "Oh, my God." "That's not from the surgery." "He's got a fusiform clot in his inferior vena cava." "Look at the size of that thing." "It begins at his hepatic vein insertion, reaches to the right atrium, and is migrating through his patent foramen ovale." "That clot bursts, he'll stroke out and die." "I'm gonna have to crack his chest to retrieve the clot out of his heart, but there's no way I can get to the infra-diaphragmatic portion." "It's bisecting his liver." "You think you can get in there?" "I could, but..." "I don't know if Lester can survive the trauma." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "Yeah." "Call Dr. Bovell." "Okay, so we're clear," "I'll manually do the sternotomy and put him on cardiac bypass." "By the time I've stopped the heart and gotten to the embolism..." "I'll have used the Raposo to incise the inferior vena cava and flank this bitch." "Beats the hell out of the Skidman transplant." "This time, the patient survives." "How you doing, Luc?" "Still trying to locate the obstruction." "Just step on it." "Hook him up to bypass, please." "It's got nothing on it." "It's going to be..." "Okay, I've located the interior portion of the embolism." "Great!" "He's on bypass." "I'm cooling him down now." "Chilled cardioplegia." "Okay, his heart stopped." "I'm about to incise the superior vena cava dissected the inferior." "Ready to snare the clot." "Okay." "Incising." "Almost there." "Got it." "On your word, Andrew." "Okay, Luc, I'm dividing it." "Retracting my end on the count of three..." "Two..." "One." "Now." "We did it." "Ready to close?" "Like a bank vault, my friend." "And I thank you." "Very happy to be seeing." "I'm feeling a lot better about my language skills right now." "Got dicey there, Lester." "What... what happened exactly?" "An embolism traveled up from your leg." "You really weren't kidding about all that sitting." "No, it almost killed you." "Once I'm out of here, I swear to God," "I am burning the couch." "I'm taking up running." "Start with a good walk, okay?" "And my heart?" "It's better than it was before." "Thank you, Dr. Yablonski." "You're very welcome, Lester." "Hey, you okay?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "Did you hear what, uh, Andy and Luc pulled off today?" "First cyborg surgery at Three Rivers." "I'm so sick of hearing about Luc." "What's your beef with him?" "He didn't tell you?" "Hmm-mm." "That's shocking." "All right, when I was in med school," "I came here to visit my father." "And Luc and I went out, and we had a few too many and..." "Really?" "Doesn't matter." "Kind of seems like it did." "No, it didn't matter then." "And now to see him wandering around here just..." "Reminds me of a time in my life I'd much rather forget." "Well, maybe you should embrace your past." "And maybe you should embrace yours." "Wait, hang on." "Luc!" "Hey." "Hell of a homecoming, huh?" "Yeah, well, the equipment functioned just as it should, by the way." "His embolism's completely unrelated." "I know that." "Did you go and check on Lester?" "No." "Well, you should go and check on him." "I'm sure Andrew's already done it." "Well, now I'm asking you to go." "With all due respect, Sophia." "I don't answer to you." "You most certainly do when you are seeing patients on my wing." "Unfortunately, there is no machine that administers patient care, Luc." "It's why Andy's so good at what he does." "Why he will eventually run this place." "I understand." "I don't think you do." "You are going to go and check on Lester." "It could be the start of a lifelong habit." "I know what you're doing." "Yeah, I'm leaving." "Jill, your condition can be reversed." "Let us help you." "Sorry, I like my margaritas." "That's not the real reason." "You know what?" "You don't know me." "I read the police report." "I know you just didn't steal baby clothes, there were toys and bibs." "You even took a little pink hat with matching mittens, didn't you?" "Okay, so what?" "So, I think you wanted that baby." "I think for the first time, you saw some real possibilities." "And then it got taken away from you." "And now you're scared to hope for anything." "You're so young." "And you can have whatever you want, you just have to take the first step forward." "Id already named the baby." "Veronica." "After the band." "It's a good band."
