"No." "But Dr. Benton" " Save it for the disciplinary hearing." "Let's get him to O.R. before you use the rest of our blood supply." "You got to admit, that was pretty cool." " Can I go home now?" " Not just yet." " I want you to try something first." " What?" " Computer." " I've seen one or two." "Maybe the MD's affecting your motor skills and causing trouble at school." " Wrong." " You can keep up with other kids." "The school is full of losers." "Oh, well." "Come on, just give it a try." "Oops!" " Feel better?" " A little." " Want to smash something else?" " Maybe."

"I'll be right back." "Good boy." "Good boy." "Yeah." "Good boy, honey." "I tried contacting his pediatrician." "He doesn't have one, which seemed weird to me for a kid this sick." "I called Northwestern, Rush, Mercy." "He's been admitted to all three ers." " Several times, multiple admissions." " I know." "I've seen the scars." "He needed surgery once for his fundoplication." "All the rest were exploratory procedures." "He has a metabolic disorder and is at high risk for obstruction." "Nobody has documented anything." "I know." "But something's making him sick." " You thought about the mother?" " What about her?" "Maybe she's inducing his symptoms." "She wants to find out what's wrong with him." " Maybe she likes the attention." " She'd hurt her child?" " I've seen parents do it before." " Okay." "How?" " I don't know." " You can't say this without proof." "What if his upper GI is negative?" "CT shows nothing?" "Are you gonna admit him for surgery?" "I just started the work-up." "Let me figure it out." " Would you just consider it?" " Yeah." "Okay." " He's fine." " He's being abused by his classmates." " He has to fight back." " That's not a solution." "Look, Dr. Finch, my son's short." "So what?" "I'm short." "And, yeah, I got picked on." "I dealt with it." "So will he." "By injecting himself with God knows what?" "That won't happen again." "I can assure you." "Dr. Finch, Marty spiked a fever of 103." " How are you feeling?" " Crummy." "What do you expect?" " Have you had a fever recently?" " He had the flu."

" We don't have any." "With this flu epidemic, this place is a big petri dish." " Take a deep breath?" " What if somebody comes in with TB?" " What's the problem?" " My pulse is thready." " Really?" " My chest feels tight." "I'm fatigued." "My head's pounding and I can barely hear anything." " Do your stools glow in the dark?" " What?" " Your ears are full of wax." " Oh, man!" "You can get that from food additives or toxins." " I can clean them out." " How?" " I never put anything in my ears." " We use a drill." " A drill?" " I'm kidding." "I use peroxide." " Mrs. Brant?" "Radiology is ready." " Okay." "Okay." "Here we go, sweetie." " I think I need an EKG." " Carol, where's the EKG machine?" "Try Trauma." "Need me to draw labs?" "No." "I got it." " We can wheel him out." " I'd rather carry him." "Okay." "Sure." "I'm still on shift downstairs." "Should've considered that before turning the ER into O.R." " I'm not doing" " It won't kill you to observe!" "You still need to learn." "Somebody turn down the heat!" " It's 68 degrees." " Maybe it's the flu." " I don't get sick." " Is it the change?" " DeBakey clamp." " I can finish up." "I would like you to shut up while I save this man's life." "Suction." "What did you find?" " The study was negative." " So, what do we do now?" " We should do a CT scan." " What about endoscopy?" "I don't want to put your son through an unnecessary invasive procedure." "I feel we're wasting time." "Shouldn't a surgeon see him?" "After the scan." " Sat's down to 78." " Put him on 100% nonrebreather mask." "Anything else I can do to make you more comfortable?" "My lunch box." "This?" "There's $118 in there." " Give it to my friends." " Do you want it to go to a shelter?" "No." "Just throw it off the roof." " Throw the money off the roof?" " Yeah." "They'll find it." " Conner's GI series was negative." " You seem surprised." "I was hoping to find something wrong with him." "She wants an endoscopy." "She was disappointed when I wanted to wait." "And I think you might be right." " Is this gonna hurt?" " No." "It's just peroxide." " You might feel a few bubbles." " Bubbles?" " What if they get into my blood?" " That won't happen." "I'll be back." " What about my chest?" " EKG was normal." "Maybe I should have a stress echo." "That's not necessary." "What is the sense of sophisticated technology if you die before you get a chance to use it?" "Hey!" " Sorry about that." " That's okay." " How's he doing?" " Well, not so good." "Lots of tests and they don't know what's wrong." " I'm sure Dr. Kovac is being" " Did he call for a surgical consult?" " I don't know." "I could check." " Would you?" "Sure." "Another 30 Prolene." "Get that rake out of my way, please." "Oh, man!" " Sure you're okay?" " Yes." "You're over-sewing the duodenal defect." "There's no substitute for precision." "Lizzie, joining the party?" " Mr. Barnes eroded his aortic graft." " Is he a friend?" "I thought he had gastroenteritis." "Peter didn't mention that." "How valiant of you to not rat Lizzie out on her gross oversight." " How's he doing?" " Fine." "Now that he's been diagnosed." "Lizzie, scrub in." " I'm off." " You're not anymore." "I'm gonna dissect the small bowel off the aorta now." " You should use a Metz." " I'd quit while" " Damn it!" " Robert?" "I'm fine..." "Robert?" "He's burning up!" "Let's get Metz and pick-up." "Get a gurney!" "He's got a weak pulse!" "Suction. 30 Prolene." "Let's get ready." "Not afraid you'll catch cold?" "No." "They're not stacking up again, are they?" "It's over." "Figure out what was wrong with that kid?" "Got tired of being short." "Injected himself with hormones." " Why didn't I think of that?" " Vegetations on his valve." "Endocarditis?" "He used Grandma's insulin needles." " What did Cardiology say?" " They put him on antibiotics." "Hopefully, he won't need surgery." " All of that for a couple of inches." " Yep." " You're releasing too early." " Why don't you show me?" " You don't want any of this." " I don't?" "Okay." "Show me what you got." " What is it?" " His stomach is distended!" " Get me a syringe." " I told you to call a surgeon!" " What?" "What are you doing?" " Hold on." "What's that?" "Is he bleeding?" "No." "Indicator mixed with saline." "Turns red in the stomach acid." "What are you talking about?" "That's not mine." "That belongs to the doctor or nurse, she left it here." "Actually, we had her leave it." "It's not peroxide." "It's saline." " What are you talking about?" " You know." "You've been poisoning him." "Security" "Stop!" "I didn't give you permission." "We are leaving!" "I'm afraid you are not." "I can't allow this." "I love Conner." "I would never hurt him." "Mrs. Brant, you need help." "Sweetie, it's okay." "It's okay, sweetie." "They're not gonna hurt you." "Mommy has you." "Mommy has you." "It's okay."

" Thought you were sick." " You could nurse me..." "Whoa!" "Wow!" "You look" "Wow!" "You know" " Did you have a hot date?" " Maybe." " You're drooling on my chart." " Sorry." "So, yeah." "How about that drink?" "You're kidding, right?" " How's he doing?" " He has a kidney stone." " You're kidding." " Not big enough." "He won't need surgery." "That can't be a lot of fun." "Thanks for covering for me." "I appreciate it." " Anybody could've missed it." " My mind was elsewhere." " So, you're going in to gloat?" " Oh, yeah." "I wouldn't take glee in this." "I just came to tell you that Mr. Barnes is stable in Recovery." "Good thing I was observing." "This means I owe you something." " I'll settle for a thank you." " How very gracious." "Thank you." "And the O.R. time for the girl's surgery." "You finished and closed for me." "Big deal." "How can you be against this?" "This is my job." "If I do favors for you, I have to do them for everybody." "Which is why we never had this conversation." " That means I can have the O.R.?" " I don't want to know about it." " Good luck with that." "Thank you." " You're welcome, Peter." "Abby, thanks for helping back there." " She poured it down his G-tube?" " Yeah." " Ever part of a sting operation?" " No." "Welcome to the ER." "Is Spencer your patient?" " Yeah."
