"Did you get any sleep?" "Maybe three hours." "'Yeah, well, go to bed early,' and give Alex a big hug and kiss from me." "Hey, Alex, your mom says good night." "Night."

"Your intern Dr Wade tried to bring it up, but you told him to "stick to the thyroid."" "Do you recall that?" "The patient was here for routine elective surgery." "But didn't Dr Wade have important information to share?" "In retrospect, yes." "Is it your standard practice to cut off an intern's presentation?" "It is when you have an hour to round on 50 patients." "So you're saying being busy is an excuse for negligence?" "Objection." "Lacks foundation." "Doctor, did you know that your intern went to the family and admitted fault?" "Assumes facts not in evidence." "Dr Wade had the moral fortitude to be honest with the family." "Why can't you?"

"Gotta remember that." "You OK?" "Mm." "Want to take a little rest?" "Mm." "Let me know when you're ready." "Sorry." "You know, my dad was born in Lincoln, not too far from here." "When I was little, he used to drive us to my grandma's house." "I remember the ride took forever." "He'd, he'd yell at me for kicking the back of his seat, or getting crumbs on the floor, or breathing too loud." "That was my dad." "Yeah." "You know, he, uh, he died last year." "We hadn't spoken in years." "He's got this storage locker in Indiana." "They can either trash it or I can go deal with his stuff." "It could be a complete waste of time." "Or maybe I'd learn something about a father I didn't really know." "Ortho can take Alex in an hour." "No problem." "His vitals are stable." "Dr Brenner, Leo's positive on opiates, benzos and marijuana." "OK." "How about, um, aspirin and Tylenol?" "We sent them." "None detected." "See that?" "I get attitude from all the interns." "Well, maybe they don't like you picking on one of them." "You mean Andrew?" "We've worked through that." "When I was an intern, I was friends with all my residents." "Well, you're more like an attending." "I don't feel that way." "Well, you make them nervous." "You showed them some teeth." "Man, no-one's delivering pizza in this snow." "How can you be hungry at a time like this?" "You still got to eat?" "I may have to nuke the pigs' feet." "Has anyone seen trauma two's chart?" "Right here, Dr Rasgotra." "Oh, Brenner, I got family in here from Gilda..." "I need some help here!" "Wait a minute, Chaz." "Weren't you with that Ashley girl?" "Yeah." "Somebody has to talk to her brother." "No, I'm supposed to observe." "Mm-mnh." "I've been stalling for an hour." "You're all I've got." "This is Chaz Pratt, he's one of our student doctors." "Where's Ashley?" "You two are the brothers?" "No, just Tyler." "And you are...?" "The baby-sitter, I guess." "Tyler's supposed to hang out at my place till midnight." "That was two hours ago." "Picked up the message and the little guy was freaking out, so I brought him in." "Can I see my sister?" "Her doctors are working on her." "Where are their parents?" "In Europe for a couple of weeks." "You got it from here?" "I gotta get my truck towed or dug out or something." "Satting well at 50%." "Less than a 100 cc's from the chest." "Sam, I let them go to the party as a reward because they busted their ass on their homework." "We all agreed no party tonight." "I quizzed him, he knew it all." "Great." "I tried to call you." "They walked to the party." "I don't know what to do." "I'm trying to be his friend, I'm trying to be a good father." "Tony?" "Did Ashley really die?" "Yeah." "I can't believe it." "That is awful." "It is." "I'm sorry." "Alex, is doing better." "Come on, let's go get you some Kleenex." "Head CT was negative?" "No fracture, no bleed." "Is that Leo?" "Leo the kid that calls you every night?" "What's going on?" "Looks like a bad drug OD." "He's had eight of Ativan." "I told him not to take that crap." "What crap?" "It's called trail mix." "Kids steal prescription pills from their parents, and everyone throws it into a big bowl." "Sat's are down, intubation tray." "You know what?" "It could be antidepressants." "Push bicarb." "OK, 100 milli-equivalents over two minutes." "Come on." "Nothing but news and infomercials." "When can I see Ashley?" "In a little bit." "We've got some magazines." "Eh, I know where they have some video games." "I want to see my sister." "OK." "I'll go check with her doctors." "Hey, Frank, I need Brenner to talk to the little brother." "He's all tied up." "Well, how about a social worker?" "At 3:00 in the morning?" "Is there an on-call chaplain or something?" "Trauma two's open." "Grab a cut down tray, he's in tamponade." "Chaz, find me an ultrasound." "Table for two?" "Some, uh, coffee for you folks?" "Definitely." "I'll have some hot tea." "We've got a couple of night owl specials." "A, um, apple pancakes and a spicy breakfast burrito." "Ooh, what's in the burrito?" "Uh, eggs, onions, bell peppers, uh, chorizo, jalapeno jack cheese and chunky salsa." "One of those and a large OJ." "I'll have some dry toast." "And some napkins when you get a chance." "Oh, you need silverware." "I completely forgot to set your table." "Pregnancy brain." "I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on." "It's called a pericardial window." "They're removing blood clots from around Leo's heart so it can beat stronger." "I can't watch this." "All right." "Dawn." "No problem." "Come on, Sarah." "I'll let you know how it's goes." "Heart rate's up to 120." "Run another litre of saline." "What for?" "In case we're behind on fluids." "What if he's bleeding in the belly?" "CT was negative." "Yeah, well, things change." "I want to get Neela in here." "All right, let's run another crit and Fast exam." "That's what she would do." "Maybe Grady can break out and reassess him." "Blood loss is unlikely." "I think it's hypoxia, dehydration, pain." "What do you know?" "I want a surgeon in here." "How's he doing?" "OK." "Good." "Have you guys seen a little boy?" "I left him in the break room." "He's not in here." "All right." "Why won't she wake up?" "Why won't she wake up?" "Pressure's up to 110." "That's a hell of a lot better than 60." "Cardiac team's waiting in the OR." "Let's go." "Nice work, doctor." "He's in sinus tach." "His crit went from 41 to 38." "Could be just dilutional from all the fluids." "That's what I said." "Or it could be pain." "We could dial up the sedation." "You'd miss an abdominal bleed." "Ultrasound's still negative." "He's not bleeding in the belly." "Or the chest." "Well, you can't be sure of that without a repeat CT." "You know what?" "I really think that my kid deserves a surgical attending." "Where's Dubenko?" "Or where's Crenshaw?" "Not available." "What?" "Dawn's here." "Alex is in good hands." "Let's take a break." "I don't need a break!" "You want a cup of coffee or something to eat?" "You never listen to me." "I'm checking for blood loss, I ordered a third CBC." "Neela and Brenner agree with my plan." "You've got to trust us, Sam." "Trust you?" "why would I trust you?" "I wanted Alex to stay home and study." "You knew that!" "Sam..." "What?" "!" "You'd rather be his friend than an adult." "Come here." "I know how to be a parent." "Oh, really?" "Mm-hmm." "Why would I believe that?" "You don't know anything about their friends, you let them do whatever they want." "You've made mistake after mistake with your kid, and now you want to do the same with mine." "Yeah, right!" "Go ahead and keep screwing up Sarah, but I am sure as hell not going to let you near Alex again." "I know you're upset and I know you don't mean that." "Don't!" "OK." "It's OK." "I need to be with him." "I saw my classmates were doing it in our med school and during residency, but I wasn't going there, you know." "I mean, every other night on call." "That's no way to raise a kid." "You know, so..." "I put it off." "Oh, nothing wrong with that." "I mean, by the time I was pregnant," "I had a good salary, a good schedule." "I was secure." "I was older." "A lot of people prefer it that way." "Hmm." "When we lost Daryl, I was 40." "But we tried, you know." "You know, eventually it worked out." "I mean, everything looked pretty great." "The baby looked perfect on the ultrasound." "And then at three months..." "You had a miscarriage?" "I'm sorry." "I just took it as a sign it wasn't supposed to be." "Look, I made a choice." "I devoted myself to my training, to my profession." "And now, I'm Chief of an academic department." "Yeah." "That is a huge accomplishment." "I invested in my career," "I've been a great success." "You can't have everything." "I thought you were sleeping." "Leo's surgery went well." "They fixed his heart." "Good." "And, uh, Alex is going up for shoulder surgery." "Want to go see him?" "I hate that room." "OK." "Later, then, huh?" "Yeah." "You OK in here?" "OK." "Why don't you lie down and get some sleep?" "I heard Sam yelling." "Yeah, she's mad at me." "She's right to be." "It'll be OK." "His third crit went up." "That's good." "How's he doing?" "Better with fluids and versed." "Brought you a water." "Would you just put that on the desk, please?" "Heart rate's 160." "Pressure's down to 80 systolic." "Get Neela back in here." "He needs blood." "Sam, you don't know that." "Yeah, well, it's my best guess, OK?" "There are two units in the cooler." "Where do you think he's bleeding?" "It doesn't matter where." "We need to transfuse." "Give me the ultrasound." "Stat portable chest." "Repeat the hemocue." "Simon, you see any P waves?" "What?" "They're there." "You just can't see them." "Excuse me." "Hey, I can't get to the subclavian." "Breath sounds a bit down here." "All right." "Place another chest tube." "Tony, I need to prep." "What are you doing?" "Everybody back off." "I'm gonna run the EKG at twice the speed." "It'll spread out the complexes." "I need to ultrasound." "There might be hemothorax." "All right." "Shut up and look." "No P waves." "It's not sinus tack." "It's SVT." "We need to cardiovert." "He's not bleeding." "He's got an arrhythmia from a bruised heart." "Let's get them on there, Sam." "Hold on." "Clear." "Heart rate's 82." "Looks like normal sinus." "BP's 110/74." "Thank you." "Dr Brenner?" "Yeah?" "You got a minute?" "Looks like I do now." "Let's run a 12 lead." "CK, troponin and cardiac echo." "The girl who died... her little brother's here by himself." "What about the parents?" "They're out of town, and he saw her body." "I don't really think he gets it, but I don't know what to do." "OK." "OK, well, come on." "I'll talk to him." "More coffee?" "No." "Just the check, please." "Okey dokey." "I'll be right back." "Hello." "Yes." "Oh." "Oh." "Hold on." "Just a minute." "A room just opened up at the hotel." "Great." "Just one room." "Oh." "Yeah, go ahead." "Hmm..." "Go ahead." "No." "I can hang out here." "You sure?" "Yeah." "All right, I'll take it." "OK." "Thank you." "Uh, here you go." "You folks have a..." "Oh." "I think my baby just kicked first time." "Hmm." "That's wonderful." "Uh, can you feel it?" "It's like popcorn popping." "Yes, it is." "Congratulations." "I got to go call my husband." "Whoosh!" "Hey, Tyler." "Hi." "This is Dr Brenner." "Nice to meet you, Tyler." "Is Ashley awake yet?" "Tyler..." "Your sister was in a car crash." "She flew out the window." "Right." "And she hit the ground very hard." "And it made her stop breathing, and...and then, her heart stopped beating." "We did everything we could for her, and we we gave her medicine and oxygen and blood." "But sometimes..." "Sometimes people are injured so bad that we can't save them." "And that's what happened to your sister." "We did everything we could for her but we couldn't help her." "And she died." "Maybe you can try some more." "Maybe she needs another operation." "That wouldn't work." "Are you sure?" "I'm sorry." "Your mom and dad are going to come back to town tomorrow." "In the meantime, we're gonna keep an eye on you." "Can you stay with me now?" "I'm not going anywhere." "Hey, Dr Brenner," "Alex is going up to surgery." "Everyone else is tucked in." "OK if we send the interns home a little early?" "Fine by me." "Cool." "I was going to catch some z's up in the call room." "But I think I'll go home, see my kids." "Hmm." "I thought this shift would never end." "Yeah." "Uh-huh." "You know... when I was an intern, after a rough night, my resident would take us all out for breakfast." "It's my treat." "What do you say?" "I'm pretty sure everything's closed." "Right." "But thank you, Dr Rasgotra." "Maybe next time." "Yeah." "They all hate me." "You're just their boss." "It's not fun hanging out with the boss." "Well, if I hurry, I can pre-round before I sign out." "You did a fantastic job on the traumas." "Everyone pitched in." "Incredible saves." "I wouldn't want to be stuck in here all night with anyone but you." "Oh, that's enough." "No, I'm serious." "And forget about the deposition." "If the case goes to court, I'll testify on your behalf." "You'll be golden." "And for what it's worth, you can ask me out to breakfast any morning." "Except this morning." "I've got to cover for Banfield." "Oh!" "Good night, Dr Banfield." "Good night, Dr Morris." "Just for the record, tonight never happened." "Since Sarah finally fell asleep, when Alex goes to surgery, I'm gonna take her home." "You want me to pick you up a change of clothes?" "Yeah, sure." "OK." "Uh, sorry about your son." "I was out at the investigation." "He swerved to avoid a minivan that skidded through a red light." "Missed 'em completely." "Could have been a lot worse." "Yeah." "Ortho wants a couple more films before they take him up." "Alex, your mom's back." "Did he just open his eyes?" "I think so." "Alex?" "Hey, over here." "Hi." "Hi." "It's OK." "It's OK to sleep." "I'm right here, OK?" "I got to take these to the lab." "I was really mad." "I am..." "Those things that I said, Tony..." "I..." "What I said about Sarah..." "I didn't mean that." "OK." "I know you try, and that we all make mistakes." "It's just... this is a pretty big mistake." "Cos he's everything to me." "And I'm still just trying to deal with it." "What the hell?" "Oh, God!" "Pressure's down." "Lost the pulse." "We got to open up his chest." "Oh, God." "PEA arrest!" "I'll bag him." "Four units packed cells, four FFP." "Tony..." "Two litres gushed out." "Delayed aortic rupture." "We need to get a side clamp on it." "I've got it." "Hold CPR." "Get ready for internal compressions." "Two units hanging." "Chest incision right now." "Rib spreader, please."
