"The bullet passed through her heart." "She lost so much blood that her heart stopped beating." "We opened up her chest for an emergency surgery." "We gave her blood transfusions." "The best surgeon in the hospital did it." "She wasn't in any pain." "She didn't suffer." "We worked on her for a long time." "We couldn't stop the bleeding." "And we couldn't get her heart to beat again." "Ted, your mother died." "I'm sorry." "Here." "You need to take these now." " Shouldn't we draw baseline labs first?" " No." "Now." "The sooner the better." "Peter, two units are in." "I can't get his pressure above 80." " All right." "Hold on." " He's already drug-resistant." " You don't have a large viral load." " He does." "Cleo, listen to me." "The conversion rate with meds is less than 3 in 1000." "Peter." "Crit is 14." "If he's going, he has to go now." "Okay?" "All right." "Get another two units." "I'll meet you at the elevator." "Call Infectious Disease." "See if they need to modify the post-exposure regimen." "I'm surprised my code still works." " It's not gonna happen, Kim." " What isn't?" " They can't let you go, not legally." " No." "They always intended to fire me." "They would have done it sooner, but they needed a thick Human Resource file first." "Which is bogus." "They'll never get away with it." " They already have." " Only if you let them." "It's not worth the effort." "I'm not interested in working for a place that doesn't want me." "You have the right to due process." "We can find a civil-rights attorney." "We?" "It's not right, Kim." "You know why they're firing you." "You have to fight it." "You have to fight this." "I'm supposed to fight?" "You're hiding but I'm supposed to fight." "Well, I'm sorry." "But I don't want to fight." "I just want to move on." "So should you." "Chris and Hillary." "It's Mark Greene." "I'm looking for Elizabeth." "If you see her, could you ask her to give me a call?" " Thanks." " Dr. Greene, we got him." "He opened fire in Lincoln Park." "Shot three people before being taken down by a civilian packing a 9mm." " Is he still alive?" " So far." " What's he had?" " Two amps of epi and atropine." "Is this the cabby?" "Shot at the base of his skull." " Cleo, jump in on this?" " High cervical injury." "Blew out his brains." " Cleo!" " Any vitals in the field?" " No." "Just lots of brain matter." " Any witnesses?" " No." "But we think it was Fossen." " Well, why?" "1211 Dupont was the last entry on the driver's log at 1: 14 p. m." " What?" " The house you had searched." "Fossen must have been on his way over there." "Cabby probably heard his description on the radio." " Dr. Greene?" " Bang." "Fossen blew his brains out." " Dr. Greene?" " Don't worry, doc." " That means he never got there." " Dr. Greene!" "He's coming in." "Was that a record number of gunshot wounds for one shift?" "By the same guy?" "Absolutely." "He has a good chance." "Like you said, you found it early." "It's more that he has to go through it alone, you know?" "As if having cancer as a kid wasn't bad enough." "He could get passed over for Chief Resident." "Or he could get kicked out of med school and be forced to work as an ER nurse." " I was not kicked out." " What would you call it?" "Suspended for being a deadbeat." "Do you know he offered to pay my tuition?" " Who?" " Luka." "And I know he means well." "It's just frustrating for me sometimes because I have to explain my every feeling." "And normally when you're with someone for a while, they learn your moods." " But he doesn't do that." " You know what?" " Stop it." " What?" "Don't talk to me about Luka." "I'm not your girlfriend." " And I shouldn't even be here with you." " Why not?" "Because I don't want to wish bad things for you and Luka." "And I don't want to sit on the sidelines waiting for you two to break up." "And I don't want to be your friend." "It might be convenient for you, but it's not doing much for me." "What are you talking about?" "Where did you put him?" "Where did you put my son?" " How much O-neg do you want?" " Four units." " You can't take me from him!" " Quiet!" "So we can listen!" " Two entrance wounds on the right." " One on the left." "Another two in the belly." "A total of five." "You." "You did this." "Set up for bilateral chest tubes and a central line." " Systolic's low at 80." " I'll intubate." " This is your fault!" " Ready for the chest tubes." "Now." "Paralyze." "One of Pavulon, 100 of sux." "You stole my son." "You destroyed my family." "Ambu-bag." "He's my son!" "What gives you the right to...?" "You can't take my son away!" "It starts with one bad cell that multiplies." "And then it grows out of control." "You usually don't know it's there until it is big enough that it causes pain." "We're very lucky that we found it today." "So you're saying I'm lucky I got shot." "In a way, yeah." "It's just gonna take longer to die." "No." "That's what I'm telling you." "Since we caught it early, there's a good chance that you're not gonna die." "What's a good chance?" "Seventy percent." " You know what 70 percent is?" " Yeah." "It leaves 30." "Well, let's concentrate on the 70, okay?" " Dr. Carter, GSW's rolling in." " Okay." "Be right there." "So, what happens to me now?" "Now I'm gonna have a cancer doctor, an oncologist, come and take a look at you." "No." "I mean, where do I live?" "I don't know." "I'll find out." "When was your last tetanus booster?" "I don't know." "Do I need an x-ray?" " It looks like just a graze." " Is that the guy?" "Yes." "Multiple GSWs to the chest and abdomen." "At the range, they teach you to shoot for the center mass." "It's not always fatal but it takes him down." " You shot him?" " I got mugged last year." "Same park." "I don't go there now without protection." "He started shooting people!" "Someone had to do something!" "We should arm the whole city." "Hey, I stopped him." "He would have kept going." " You're lucky." " Lucky I was packing." " Carter, you free?" " Sort of." "GSW to the right flank." "Vitals are stable, but I need you to check for gross hematuria." "Okay." "I'll be right there." " I handed it in to her." " What?" "Your reference." "Should put you over the top." "All fives." " Wow!" "Thanks." " I had to lie." " Now, Carter." " Coming." "First two are in." "Another subclavian." "Put the next two on the infuser." " How's the chest tube output?" " Couple hundred cc's." " Only 50 on my side." " Is he gonna make it?" "Probably." "Didn't hit any vital structures." " After five shots?" " Some guys get lucky." "19 shot." "Eight, maybe nine dead." "He's lucky we didn't take him down." " Dr. Greene, Dr. Corday's on line four." " Could you get it for me?" " Pressure's up to 85." "3-0 nylon." "What's in the Foley?" "Seventy cc's." "Dips are negative for heme." "Can you cut this?" "Elizabeth?" " Mark, what's going on?" " Where were you?" "I was at the Farmer's Market." "There were police in the house and the front door's been kicked in." " I told them to." " Why?" "Long story." "Vaseline gauze." "You're not gonna tell me what happened?" "Nothing." "It's just a bit of a scare." " You' re all right?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "Call you later?" " I told the police to stay until I called you." " Yeah." "Yeah, he can go now." "You' re not gonna tell me what's going on?" "Not right now." "Everything's okay." "Okay, then." " Will you be off at 7?" " Yes." "I will be there." "Okay." " I love you." " Me too." "Elastoplast." "Get ready for a portable chest." "Keep the dopamine at 10 mics." "Neuro checks, 30 minutes." "A CBC in an hour." " Any cord contusion?" " No, extrinsic hematoma." " Did they find Elizabeth?" " She's fine." " Good." " What about her paralysis?" " Ask me in 24 hours." "What's this?" " GSW to the renal parenchyma." "Marge, clear OR 2." "We got another customer." "I'll be right back." " Robert, I need to talk to you." " Yeah, sure." "Anything but Legaspi." "You're making a mistake." "My main mistake was not firing her three months ago when I first found out." " What?" " That she is incompetent." " That's not what you were gonna say." " Really?" "In addition to your diagnostic skills, you're a mind reader." " It's because she's gay." " Of course I'm not." "That would be politically incorrect." "She's a pain in the ass." "Like Maggie Doyle was?" " Let's stop right there." " And avoid your history of discrimination?" "If you don't rethink this, there's a good chance you'll be out of a job." "Dr. Legaspi has demonstrated not only poor judgment but a reckless attitude towards patients and a blatant disregard for authority." "She's out." "She's fired." "End of discussion." " If she goes, I go." " What?" "You heard me." " Are you giving me an ultimatum?" " I swear to God." " I will walk out if you don't back off." " I do not respond well to ultimatums!" "You had better choose your battles very carefully!" "You're the Chief of Emergency Medicine, not the county's lesbian advocate." "That's where you're wrong." "Because I am both." "I am the Chief of Emergency Medicine, and I am a lesbian." "If you pursue this matter, I will take it to the County Board of Supervisors the ACLU, the press, and anyone else who will listen!" "So I suggest you choose your battles very carefully!" " BP's 100/60." " Going in the right direction." " Last HemoCue?" "9.5." "You want me to bring him up?" " Mark?" " What?" " You want me to bring him up?" " No, no." "I got it." "They are sending cross-matched blood to the OR." "Good." "Could you bring the chart back down so I can write my note?" "Sure." "He's gonna need some more Pavulon." "Damn it!" "I forgot the drug box." "Be right back." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"
