- I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that.
- So I can compare prices on my Subaru and not on my wife's double bypass?

- No, no, just, uh, Dr.
Sharpe and I have a little thing.
Very, uh, informal.
- It's not informal.
It's quite serious.
- How serious?
- Not very.
I'm taking care of it.
- Are you?
- Mm-hmm.
- Have you eaten today?
- Does espresso count?
- Dora, would you mind getting him an apple?
- An apple?
- Mm.
He'll be in my office.
- Uh, can't.

- Your 2:00 p.m. just canceled.
- Thank you, Dora.

- One of the valves that controls the flow of blood through Jozette's heart is broken, and blood is backing up into her lungs, which is why she can't breathe.
- But how could this happen?
Jozette is strong.
She's an aid worker for the people of Haiti.
- I have to get to Jean-Rabel.
- This week, a mudslide hit our village.
So many people have d*ed.
- That might explain what happened.
- You thinking takotsubo syndrome?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- That sounds bad.
- Another name for it is, uh, broken heart syndrome.
The mudslide may have caused Jozette so much grief that it actually made her heart b*at so hard that it tore the muscles that hold it together.
- I hate to feel helpless.
- I'm sorry.
[cell phone buzzes]
- Well, the good news is, I can fix a broken heart.
Now, we're gonna get you prepped for surgery and get you home as fast as we can.
- First may we perform a Gad Ko?
- I'm sorry, a what?
- It's a protection ritual.
We make a cut in the skin, rub in herbs.
- Oh, no, that's out of the question.
Any cuts to the skin can introduce infection, so...
- Gad Ko attaches Lwa to me.
Protects me from accidents.
- Okay, look, Jozette, there won't be any accidents, all right?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to prep for surgery.
- It's true.
He used to be energetic.
Silly.
- Yeah.
- But you--you can't just take him off of all of his medications.
Doesn't he need them?
- Honestly, I don't know.
I don't know what he needs.
He's on so many counterintuitive dr*gs, I can't see the real issue.
I want to try behavioral therapy.
Talk therapy.
- He had, um...
outbursts at school-- physical.
And when the school psychiatrist started him on the zotepine, they completely stopped.
- That drug may have succeeded in curbing your son's behavior, but it did nothing to address the underlying issues.
- Zotepine also causes lethargy, apathy.
So when he was prescribed a stimulant, that led to his sleep issues.
- And accelerated his weight gain, which developed into Type 2 diabetes.
- That's why he's wetting the bed.
He has diabetes...
because of the dr*gs that he's on.
- My God, I didn't...
I didn't know.
I mean, they told me that he needed them.
I was just--I was trying to help him.
- Of course you were.
That's what we all would have done.
- Yes, absolutely.
I'm sorry, I just...
[clears throat]
Let me pull him off the meds.
You know, let me talk to him.
I really just want to talk to him.
When was the last time you saw your son smile?
- Dora, are you stalking me?
- It's definitely beginning to feel that way, isn't it?
Dr. Sharpe's office called.
- I got pulled into OB.
- Tell that to Dr. Sharpe.
I got you an apple.
- You know, I'm really more of a Golden Russet kind of guy.
- Maybe keep that to yourself.
- What do you have against Golden Russets?
- Nothing, my issue is with people who can identify Golden Russets.
- Dr. Reynolds.
- What up?
- Now eat the apple.
- Got you an apple.
Uh, also, I got a call from Jozette Pampil's family?
Apparently they're upset that you won't let them perform some kind of protection ritual?
- That's correct.
- Even though they believe it's gonna help keep your patient safe from harm?
- You fired the entire cardiac surgical department because of the high infection rates, and now you want me to let a family member cut open my patient and put dirt in her wound?
- Well, a superficial wound with a sterile blade under your supervision.
- Is this my call, or are you overstepping me?
- It's your call.
- Good.
Then no one's cutting open my patient but me, okay?
Hello.
- She's ready to go.
- All right.
Wow.

[alarms continue beeping]
Okay, I got her back.
What the hell?
[monitor beeping steadily]
- She's too unstable for transport.
- Maybe you should do the ritual.
- Because Leo is on multiple medications, we must devise a regimented detox program.
- Mm-hmm.
- The stimulant should leave his system overnight, but the psychoactive medication will require gradual tapering.
What, you don't agree?
- No, no, I do.
I do.
Just, um, for whatever it's worth, I think you would have made a really good dad.
- No, I wouldn't have.
- Why do you say these crazy things?
- A word, you two?
- Let me ask you something.
Don't you think Kapoor would have made, like, a totally rad dad?
- Uh, Dr. Villarreal, this is-- - Look at this dad face.
- This--hey!
This is Dr. Kapoor, head of our neurology department, and this is Dr. Frome, head of our psych department.
Gentlemen, this is Dr. Villarreal.
She's the psychiatrist for all the public schools in Queens.
- Including Leo Chen's.
His mother alerted me to the changes you're making to his treatment.
- Yes, we were just discussing his detox schedule.
- Well, you should know that if Leo Chen stops taking his medication, he'll no longer be admitted back into his school or, for that matter, any New York public school.
- I'm sorry, how can you force a child to take medication?
- Easy, it's the law.
- Prohibition on Mandatory Medication Amendment.
It passed in 2004.
It is illegal for public schools to force a student to take a controlled substance to attend class.
- Unless the mother signed an Individualized Education Plan agreeing to the medication.
- She did?
- It's right there.
- Not only are these medications causing Leo physical harm, but nobody has studied their long-term side effects, also.
- Well, the school board doesn't seem to agree with you.
- Max, I can get through to this kid, just not with all the dr*gs in the way.
- Okay, okay.
You really feel that you can help this kid?
- I do.
- And you think you can wean him off the dr*gs safely?
- He does.
What?
You gotta talk faster.
- I do.
- Then present your evidence to a judge.
If you believe this is the best thing for your patient, prove it.
Take the New York public school system to court.
- This pacing wire should get her stable long enough to get her to the OR.
- Or you could do the ritual.
- If I believed in rituals, I would have become a shaman, not a surgeon.
- You're about to fix her heart valve.
If I were you, I'd take all the help I could get.
- You know, if a patient feels like they've got to chant or knock on wood or get their prayer warrior to lay hands on them before I operate, then that means they don't trust me, you know?
They don't have faith in my abilities.
[monitors beeping steadily]
- Normal paced rhythm with capture.
- See?
Pacing wire is all the faith I need.
[alarms beeping]
- [gasps]
- O2 sats are falling!
- Jozette, I'm gonna sit you up so you can breathe.
- [gasping]
I hear rales.
- Edema?
- Backing up in her lungs because of that valve.
Here, toss me the furosemide.
- I'm already on it.
[alarms continue beeping]
You know, that's gonna take a while to dry out her lungs.
- Well, I can't operate until I get this under control.
- So then maybe you do the ritual.
- Don't.
Don't even say it.
[monitor beeping steadily]
- Okay, look, uh, the ritual isn't even about you or what you believe or your abilities.
It's about her.
It's about what she believes, what she needs.
I mean...
why can't you just give her that?
- So, Millie, I've read your file.

Not so good, huh?
- Well, your chemotherapy hasn't been as effective as everyone hoped.
Starting tomorrow, I'd like to put you on a different regimen.

You know what?
New Amsterdam was actually the first hospital to put a courtroom in the building so we could, um, advocate for our patients in real time, which is pretty neat.
Leo, come on through here.
You know, in the, uh, 1940s, uh, New York was having a bit of a mental health moment, if you will, and, um, this psych department was completely overworked and underfunded and...
uh, exactly like it is today, come to think of it.
- [clears throat]
- Oh, right, sorry.
Time to shut up now.
- Mr. Bishop, as Dr. Frome already knows, I like to keep my court informal, so we're just going to jump in unless you have any objections.
- None, Your Honor.
- Dr Kapoor, we'll start with you.
I've read the file.
You have a course of treatment you want me to rule on.
I get that.
Tell me why all this is necessary.
- Good morning, Your Honor.
Leo Chen is only ten years old, and he's on four different medications, many with very damaging side effects.
But none of the medications are actually treating his root problem.
- Which is what?
- Uh, we don't know.
I mean...
we won't until Dr. Frome can provide the therapy Leo needs.
- And you don't think that's possible while he's medicated?
- Overmedicated.
I don't envy Dr. Villarreal's position.
She's responsible for the mental health of more than 3,000 students.
Prescribing medication is faster than painstakingly evaluating each individual student's needs.
- That's quite an indictment.
- It's not meant to be.
It's simply the reality of the situation.
There are too many children in the public school system in need of psychological help and not enough mental health professionals to help them.
- But you think you and Dr. Frome can.
- Yes.
In a way that won't further endanger Leo's physical health.
We shouldn't have to choose between the physical and mental well-being of our children.
Thank you.

Georgia couldn't go through that again.
And I promised that...
she wouldn't have to.

So we could start a family.
So I asked Georgia if she would slow down with me, to stop dancing, a career that she loved, that she's really, really good at.
She did...
for me...
to be a mom, you know.
So we got pregnant, and then I got the call about New Amsterdam.

And who can resist climbing Everest?
