ER
Previously on ER...
I'd invite you back to my place but...
...I fear I'd be taking advantage.
- I'm going to help.
- Help me!
I'm gonna help you. I'm gonna help you,
but you gotta stick with me!
But delaying the vote isn't an option.
I can't support something
I don't believe in.
When I was talking to Greg Powell,
it got intense.
And I kissed him.
"Carter's Choice"
- Touchdown!
- Nice catch.
Hey, Dr. C. How'd you get in?
I followed a snowplow in
from the Ryan.
- Only one patient?
- Bumsicle, defrosting.
Yo, Jer!
How long will Weaver
keep you on nights?
Her exact words were
"until hell freezes over. "
I've been meaning to talk to her
about it.
Would I look good in that cut?
Honestly? No.
What is the best approach with Weaver?
- Contrition, indignation...?
- Begging.
I think I would just appeal to
her innate sense of fairness.
She has a sense of fairness?
- Remind her you've been on nights for...
- Four months.
...and that you think
your exemplary work history...
...and your years of loyal service,
marred by only one incident...
Blowing up the ambulance bay.
...makes it incumbent upon her to bring
you back to the land of the living.
I still say beg.
Hey, Anna's on?
Yeah. She's in Exam , sleeping.
Yo, Carter.
Nice throw!
Carter?
Hi.
What time is it?
It's . I didn't mean to wake you.
I gotta get up anyway.
Catch a few more minutes.
I'll get breakfast.
You want a bagel, coffee?
- Is it still snowing?
- Yeah.
Yeah, they said we might get
more feet today.
Maybe more.
Here. I brought you a doughnut.
Oh, thanks.
How's Chase?
He's off the clonidine.
He's weak, but up and around.
Thanks for all your help.
I was happy to.
What?
Well, I'll go get us some breakfast.
Scrambled eggs.
What?
Scrambled eggs, please,
with wheat toast.
Couple of blueberry pancakes
and an orange juice.
Coming right up.
Paramedics have a GSW,
massive blood loss.
They're having a hell of a time.
Think they may lose him.
Rain check on breakfast.
- What do you got?
- Multiple GSWs...
...to chest, abdomen, thigh.
Blood loss is one liter.
Two liters saline in.
Abdomen is tense.
No bowel sounds.
Type and cross.
Get me six units O-neg down here.
- Are we still short?
- It's stuck at O'Hare.
We're low on blood.
With the storm, nobody's donating.
Let's spin a crit.
Get a portable chest and a blood gas.
Somebody use a machine g*n on him?
He's a security guard.
He interrupted a r*pe.
Eight ET tube.
How long ago was he sh*t?
At least minutes.
We had to dig the rig out in Halsted.
Hemopneumo. Chest tube tray.
r*pe victim's still on the scene.
Unit has her.
She must've been . Unbelievable.
- How's the old woman?
- She's in rough shape.
But it looks like he stopped her
from getting r*ped.
- Got the blood.
- They catch the r*pist?
No. But cops are looking.
This guy might've sh*t him.
Chest tube's in.
Okay, good. Call the O.R.
and tell them we're on our way.
- More blood?
- No. Save it.
Have Respiratory meet us with a vent.
- Maybe they'll catch him.
- It's about damn time.
Maybe we can stop
at the cafeteria after.
- Out of the way.
- What do you got?
Multiple GSW on his way to the O.R.
He saved an old woman
from being r*ped and got sh*t.
How'd you get in?
Oh, I took the El.
The car was stuck.
- No pulse.
- What?
- Idioventricular rhythm.
- Take him back.
Careful. Hey, out of the way!
Listen. Follow me.
We'll go around. Come on.
- Whose patient?
- Mine.
Thora-Seal's full.
Probably a lacerated artery.
Cynthia?
- He was stable.
- Well, he sure as hell isn't now.
Careful.
- Thoracotomy tray.
- Let's get more blood.
- How much?
- All of it.
- Should I order more?
- Yeah. At least four.
Somebody shut off that damn alarm.
Rib spreader.
Pericardium is tense.
Incise. Release the tamponade.
blade.
Go laterally. Watch out
for the coronary arteries.
Oh, suction!
Come on, suction!
Pickups.
You're in my light.
Four more O-neg are coming.
Damn it!
Left ventricle's shredded.
How many units in?
- Three, fourth one's up.
- It's not enough to sew.
We should still try.
Save the blood.
He stopped an old woman
from being r*ped.
No good deed goes unpunished.
- Time of death?
.
Son of a bitch!
Don.
- Good morning, Kerry.
- Morning.
You're in early.
I was anxious to hear the outcome
of last night's SPG vote.
After careful consideration
and due in no small part...
...to your glowing recommendation...
...the board will begin negotiations
with SPG...
...for an emergency department
management contract.
I'm sorry to hear that.
You have placed me
in a very awkward position, Kerry.
I went to the board at your urging.
Any misgivings you had about SPG
should've been aired weeks ago.
If we reverse our position now...
...we are going to look
very foolish indeed.
I take it you have misgivings.
Yes, I do.
The board was anxious to know
if the senior...
...ER staff was supportive of the idea.
You assured me they were.
If you were incorrect
in that assessment...
...and wish to admit that
before the board...
...that might carry some weight.
You want me to fall on my sword
in front of the board of directors.
It is your sword, Kerry.
So my lease is up February st-
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Thanks, Mark.
Jerry, get some mud mats here before
someone slips and kills themselves.
Anyway, they want me to move
or sign a new lease for six months.
I was month-to-month, but now they-
- Three patients?
- It'll pick up when it stops snowing.
Yeah, all those sick people
sitting at home...
...waiting to rush in and ruin
our perfectly good slow day.
's on their way
with the r*pe victim.
It seems silly for me
to be paying rent...
...especially when I'm spending
every night at your place.
Jerry, get mud mats down before
somebody slips and kills themselves.
- Can I talk to you a little later?
- Yeah, sure.
How much is your rent?
now. But they want to
raise it to $ .
I could probably help you out
with that.
Oh. No, that's not what-
You want to talk about this at dinner?
- I made you feel uncomfortable.
- You didn't.
- I have to get these up to the lab.
- Right.
- What?
- Nothing.
Randi called. She's snowed in.
Perfect.
Dr. Weaver, can I talk to you
for a minute?
I've been working nights
for months now.
And while I appreciate
that the accidental damage...
...that I inflicted on the ER
cannot be dismissed...
...as inconsequential
nor insignificant...
...I do, however, believe that
my eight years of loyal service...
...along with my sterling attendance
record and my seniority...
...all demand that I get
my old day shift back.
Is that it?
I'm also appealing to
your innate sense of fairness.
Can you work Randi's shift today?
Pull a double? I'd love to.
Fine. You're on days again.
Anybody see Carter?
- He went over to Doc's a while ago.
- God, I'm starving.
Anna, breakfast is served.
Oh, my God, John!
Are you okay? You okay?
Man, that smarts!
Damn it, Jerry,
get those mud mats out here now.
Ambulance is pulling up.
I'm never gonna get my breakfast,
am I?
Ready?
A -year-old woman,
respiratory distress.
Cyanotic. She's unresponsive.
BP / . Pulse .
- Resps . GCS .
- This one's mine.
The snow's too deep. We have to lift.
One, two, three.
Two large-bore IVs,
liters by mask.
Unable to intubate
due to laryngeal edema.
He tried to strangle her,
then pushed her down some stairs.
Head trauma. Multiple contusions.
We have a deformity of the left hip.
Distal pulse is weak but present.
Decreased air movement. Stridor on
respiration. Intercostal retraction.
- Pulse ox is .
- Let's tube her.
He caught her in her parking garage.
The guard make it?
- The guard d*ed on the table.
- Son of a bitch!
I can't see the cords. Suction.
WHORE
Gave up on the Magic Marker.
Used a Kn*fe on her stomach.
What do you want, doctor?
Blood gas, CBC, Chem- .
Type and cross for six.
Foley cath, dip a urine for blood.
Cross-table C-spine, chest,
pelvis and left hip.
- Let's do it.
- Another one?
Damn it. I don't believe this.
- How's the hangover?
- Painful.
- No hard feelings, I hope.
- No, of course not.
I'm really sorry.
There's a novelty shop
down the street from my flat.
You know, magic tricks,
rubber bugs, black soap.
- I love that stuff, don't you?
- Not really.
Oh. Sorry.
Why are you so late?
It's not like you.
Carla wants to put Reece in daycare.
He's not even a year.
You won't get much sympathy from me.
My mom gave me to a nurse
after I was born and went...
...to Spain for three weeks.
It was nannies after that and
boarding school by the time I was .
Anytime, Dr. Benton. This colectomy's
not getting any younger.
Okay.
So, anyway, I'm on the phone
with this nanny service.
a week after taxes.
That's two-thirds of my take-home.
- Got any lunch plans?
- I doubt I'll have time.
I'm buying!
It's a mess out there.
- Schools are closed, but we still work.
- Honey, we always gotta work.
Pretty slim pickings. Any pedes?
Not a one.
Gives me time to work on my dictation.
What's going on over there?
Another elderly r*pe victim.
The cops might catch him this time.
They got him cornered
in an old warehouse.
I hope those dogs tear him up.
Yep. No kidding.
- You okay?
- Yes.
No.
I mean, he's your best friend, right?
Mark? Yeah. He's-
I don't understand.
We have great times together.
We laugh. We enjoy each other.
I sleep over there every single night.
I know that I make him happy.
I know I do. I can tell.
He just keeps giving me
these mixed signals.
Well, I mean- We have-
Have you-?
Have you talked to him?
Yeah, I talk about it to him
lots of times, but he just avoids it.
We usually end up having
sex instead, though.
Is it me?
Does he think that maybe I'm not
good enough for him? Is that it?
Or is he just...?
Is he just scared because
he cares so much?
Okay, let's bag her.
Babinski's down-going.
Pulse ox is coming up.
X- rays.
Excuse me.
It's getting crowded in here.
Wait outside and we'll let you know.
Hip's dislocated.
Pop it back in
before we take her to CT?
Yeah. We can get post-reduction film
after the non-contrast CT.
Thanks. Vitals?
BP's / . Pulse .
Ready?
Call CT. Tell them to set up a vent.
Okay, let's go.
Send a blood gas from CT.
And repeat a chest x-ray
when she gets back here.
How's she doing?
Well, her vitals are normal.
They put her hip back in.
I'll get our stuff back to the rig.
You okay?
Yeah.
Connie, what do you do for child-care?
I got a sitter. It was a nightmare.
Ran up my phone bill,
ate me out of house and home.
- Eight bucks an hour.
- Eight bucks?
My sister's paying .
I finally gave up. Put him
upstairs in daycare. They love it.
Aren't they sick being around
other kids?
- Sure.
- Builds their immune system.
A girl in my building babysits.
She's not that expensive.
Want me to call her?
Need a babysitter, Peter?
Carla wants to put Reece into daycare.
You' re uncomfortable with that?
Jerry, any more dictations for me?
My mother raised us at home.
You're a product of a bygone era.
Join the modern world.
I'm gonna do these in Sutures
if anybody needs me.
Dr. Ross?
Pedes is short-staffed.
Can you look at a newborn in OB?
- Yeah, fine.
- Thanks.
See you later.
Doug. Doug, come on.
Is that the guy?
We were talking. He was upset.
Another elderly r*pe victim came in.
I was trying to calm him down.
Was that the guy?
Yes. That's the guy.
But I'm not seeing him or anything.
You can't commit, fine.
You want to screw firemen, fine.
Don't humiliate me
in front of my friends.
Humiliate you?
What about the surgical tech
in the on-call room?
- The Pedes nurse?
- Ancient history.
How about the drug rep with
fake breasts and big hair?
- Ancient history.
- I'd have to do the entire Bulls lineup...
...before I equaled you.
Is this about getting even for things
I did a long time ago?
This is about me needing some time...
...and you being pissed that things
aren't working out as planned.
I have spent years,
years of my life...
...changing to fit your needs,
working around your schedules...
...your insecurities,
your inabilities to commit.
Well, you know what?
It's not all about you.
I know that may come as a shock.
But a relationship is give and take.
Two people as equals,
and right now I need something.
So you can grow up and accept it,
or you can go on being the same...
...self-centered bastard
you've always been...
...and refuse to give me
the one thing I've ever asked you for.
Mark, we're precariously short
of blood.
I'm gonna ask the staff to volunteer,
rotate our people upstairs to donate.
- We don't have many patients anyway.
- Sounds smart.
The board voted yesterday to begin
negotiations with Synergix...
...to take over management of the ER.
Congratulations.
It's what you wanted, right?
Yes and no. I've had disturbing
reports from other hospitals...
...about their
cross-control techniques.
Did you talk to Anspaugh?
He felt that if all the ER
Attendings opposed the decision...
...that would help scuttle the deal.
But won't that make us look
ridiculous? We recommended it.
But the heat doesn't fall
on any one person...
...if we all go to the board together.
I've started contacting
the other Attendings.
And I was hoping that I could
count on your support.
Show me the statistics
and I'll let you know.
Great, thanks.
Mark, cops caught that r*pist.
GSW to the chest.
Paramedics are bringing him.
- Here?
- That's what they said.
- Tell them we don't want him.
- Let Mercy take him. Or Rush.
Malik, prep Trauma
and alert Surgery.
Come on, people.
There's no evidence of penetration.
Thank God for small favors.
Who does something like this?
I don't know. I hope they find
the guy that did this.
They should sh**t him and toss
his body in the dumpster.
How's it going?
Great.
Really?
Cynthia cried on my shoulder for
an hour. What's that all about?
- Her lease is up.
- You want my opinion?
- Not particularly.
- Fine.
- How's Carol?
- She talk to you about it?
- About what?
- Nothing.
We have a nasty MVA on the Kennedy.
And a family in a minivan
hit an overpass.
And that r*pist is here.
You should talk.
Two IVs in...
...no pulse, large-caliber GSW
to the chest.
Multiple contusions, canine bites
and open fracture to the left femur.
Damn! He's just a kid.
Nineteen. Name is Jack Miller.
We'll leave him on
the paramedic gurney. Who's up?
Carter.
No breath sounds.
- The r*pist?
- One of you get him?
He was hiding. The dogs found him.
Too bad they called the dogs off.
Another minutes would've
saved us the trouble.
Got a rhythm.
- Should I set up another drip?
- Nope.
- What's going on, Dr. Carter?
- PEA.
Yeah. What's the differential?
Hypovolemia, hypoxia,
tension pneumo...
...pulmonary embolism,
pericardial effusion, tamponade.
- How's the old lady?
- She's gonna be fine.
- Chuny?
- Bradycardic, .
- What do you want to do?
- Let the bastard die.
Like every other patient,
he gets our best effort.
Dr. Carter?
Amp of epi, IV push
and a milligram of atropine.
You heard him. Let's go.
- What about an airway?
- Yeah. He needs one.
Let's put one in.
Mark, that MVA is here.
The mother's in trouble.
I'll be right there.
- Malik, you're with me.
- Thank God!
Call me if you need anything.
She threw up last night.
No. Only a little bit.
I ate some Saltines like my sister
told me to. That usually works.
Do you throw up often?
I always eat the Saltines
and then it goes away.
Last night she ate a whole thing
of Cherry Garcia.
Cherry Garcia is my favorite too.
Are you having them again?
Have you had these pains before?
Sometimes I hurt a little bit,
but it goes away.
They just keep coming back.
Coming back how often?
When? How many? Eight?
During Kathie Lee
about eight or nine times.
Okay. I want you to just lie back
and I'm gonna take a quick look.
- Am I okay?
- You just relax.
Legs apart. Good.
Okay. All right.
- She's seven centimeters.
- I'll get the fetal monitor.
Just keep breathing.
- Weak pulse.
- No breath sounds on the left.
Neck veins are dilated.
- Tension pneumo?
- Sounds about right.
French.
- What are you doing?
- Central line. He'll need volume.
The victim's coming to.
You guys want to talk to her?
Damn it!
He's losing a lot of blood here.
- You want me to go get Mark?
- Nope.
He's bleeding out. He's already
lost a liter. He needs blood.
- How many units O-neg do we have?
- This is it. Four units.
- Let's autotransfuse him.
- You're kidding.
- Use his own blood?
- Hook up the cell saver.
- He needs a transfusion.
- He'll get one.
There's not enough.
It's all over the floor.
This'll be fine.
- He needs blood.
- And he'll get it!
Hook it up to the central line.
Wide open.
sh**ting.
AP pelvis next. Call me when
you're ready. I'll be next door.
How's he doing?
He has a massive hemothorax
from the g*nsh*t wound.
Possibly to the pulmonary artery.
We autotransfused him from
the Thora-Seal. BP's at palp.
No kidding, you autotransfused?
Alerted the O.R.
I think he's stable enough to travel.
Then let's send him up.
- Anna, you coming?
- No. Thanks. Carter's got it.
Overweight -year-old
shoveling feet of wet snow.
I wonder why he's having an Ml.
Word is you're mustering opposition
to SPG among the ER Attendings.
I have to do what is right.
- The board approved the deal.
- Maybe they can be dissuaded.
Come back here.
Come here. Come here.
Now, I've put months of work
into this already.
You should've addressed
concerns weeks ago.
You should've been more forthcoming...
...about your cost-containment
strategies.
We're a public company.
Whatever we do is spelled out in
our literature. Did you read that?
I couldn't find it
in all the rosy profit predictions...
...and glossy photos
of satisfied patients.
You're the one that wants to turn this
ER into a cost-effective operation.
You couldn't anticipate what
would be needed to make it profitable?
I'm willing to make hard choices,
Ellis.
I'm not willing to endanger patients.
You're questioning my ethics
as a physician?
I'm not sure. Maybe.
Hang on, Carol.
You used me.
That's what we've been about.
You used me to get this deal.
I don't like being used!
You underestimated me once.
And you were right to.
But don't underestimate me again.
I'll see you at the board.
Are you okay?
The patient, Carol.
-year-old woman, weeks.
Seven centimeters dilated.
Fully effaced.
Get her up to OB.
She won't go. She's scared
they'll take her baby away.
What?
She's Ret*rded. She wants to leave.
I treated her at the clinic.
I think she'll stay
if we keep her down here.
I'm going home.
You can't go home.
You're having a baby.
Robert, where are my shoes?
Mary, hi. I'm Dr. Weaver.
Where are you going?
Mary, sit down here and let
Dr. Weaver examine you, okay?
If you go home it could be
very bad for your baby.
You love your baby and you don't want
anything bad to happen, right?
So let me look, and we can
talk about what we should do.
Please? For your baby?
Good. Jeanie, let's- Here we go.
- get her on a fetal monitor.
And that's so we can check
your baby's heart.
- Is it a boy or a girl?
- A girl.
How exciting.
And why are you afraid to go upstairs
to have your baby?
They'll take her.
Why will they take her?
That's what Judy said.
- Who's Judy?
- Her sister.
Nine centimeters.
- Do you live with your sister?
- No. We live at East Chestnut.
We don't take babies with
such nice parents.
So why don't you stay here with us?
And we'll make sure
everything's going okay.
When did it stop snowing?
I didn't know that it had.
Only the finest culinary offerings
from the rd floor vending machine.
Tuna or cheese?
I didn't know if you were
a truly fanatical vegan...
...or whether seafood's allowed to
pass your lips every so often.
Cheese, please.
A true believer.
I must say I do enjoy a good hunk
of rare meat every so often.
How long's it been since you've had
something really juicy?
I don't know. Six years.
I thought as much.
- Egg?
- No.
- Pity.
- No. I eat eggs. I just...
I just...
I've had a thought.
I have no family here. No ties.
No time.
You have the baby, but not much else.
And with our schedules,
it makes it almost impossible to...
...date or even really meet someone...
...much less anything approaching
a real relationship.
So I was thinking.
We're both adults...
...attractive...
...we enjoy each other.
Why not?
I won't disappoint.
I've made you blush.
I don't think I'd be
comfortable with that.
That's a pity.
I heard the r*pist made it.
Good job, Carter.
Anybody seen Doug? I'll need a
pediatrician to check out a newborn.
He's up at Pedes.
I'll page him.
- I'm around if you can't find him.
- Thanks.
- You ever get anything to eat?
- I lost my appetite, thanks.
I'm looking for my sister,
Mary Cochran. She's having a baby.
Hi. Yes, she sure is.
I'm Carol Hathaway. Come with me.
- Is she all right?
- She's doing great. Not long now.
Can I see her?
Sure. I have to ask her first.
Hi, Mary. How you doing?
I'm back.
- She's crowning.
- Keep pushing.
- Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, .
- Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
Good. Good. Now don't push.
- This is hard.
- You're doing great.
She's ROA. How you doing, Robert?
You're not gonna faint, are you?
I'm okay.
Somebody get Robert a chair just
in case he feels like sitting down.
- Your sister's outside, Mary.
- Judy?
- She wants to know if she can come in.
- Yes.
- Carol, can you give me a hand?
- Yep.
All right, Mary.
- Just one more time.
- I'm here, honey.
All right. Let's give it
everything you got, okay?
One, two, three, four, five...
...six, seven, eight, nine-
- There she is!
- I see the head! Look at that hair!
Oh, wow!
Looks like you need someone
with pediatric experience.
Oh, look. She's beautiful.
Okay, Mary, this is just
the last little bit.
She's out!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Welcome to the world, Madison.
Is she okay?
Yeah, fingers and toes.
Okay, Dad, get in here
and cut the cord.
Come on, Robert, you can do it.
- There?
- That's the spot there.
Good.
Good.
She's so small.
Hello, baby.
Hello, little baby.
Ten units Pitocin IV.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Is the baby okay mentally?
Well, it's too soon to tell.
But she seems fine, alert.
There's no reason to think
she won't be perfectly normal.
When do the social workers come?
They don't.
We don't call Social Services when
there are two loving adult parents.
You seem nice, so I hope
you won't think me rude.
Do you have the training
to assess that?
They're doing fine with the baby.
They have their own apartment.
Robert works.
Robert is the janitor at
his uncle's muffler repair shop.
They don't drive because they don't
read well enough to pass the test.
They have a place, but I do their bills
and remind them to do their laundry.
They are sweet, loving people,
but they can't care for an infant.
Do you think you're qualified
to make that assessment?
You know, I wish that I weren't.
I can't tell you how much
I wish that I weren't.
Did you get a chance to look over
those Synergix reports?
- Not very encouraging.
- You're with me?
Whatever you think's best.
Would somebody
please answer the phone?
- ER.
- The board meets next Tuesday.
Can I count on you to be there?
If I don't have to speak.
Why isn't anybody answering the phone?
Where is Cynthia?
Cynthia left hours ago.
She seemed upset.
- She left?
- Yeah.
Jerry? Jerry? Jerry!
- What?
- Answer the damn phone!
The blood's here from O'Hare.
The blood bank's restocked.
I was looking for you upstairs.
I had a hot appendix turn out to be
unrefrigerated -day-old pizza.
- Do you have the forms?
- Hold on. Where's Reece?
- In the car.
- You left him in the car?
He's with a friend.
Dafina? Carla, she better
not be smoking.
Peter, did you sign the forms?
I'm sorry. I've been working all day.
I need those forms so Reece
can start on Monday.
- Monday?
- Yes!
Are you gonna sign them?
I don't know. I was
checking out other alternatives.
- Forget it. Just forget it.
- What?
Look, I'm not convinced this is
the best thing for the baby.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I deserve more than one day
to decide.
Fine. Take a week, a month.
Hell, take six.
Just tell me what's right for my life.
It's not just your decision to make.
Peter.
Wait! Where do you think
you're going?
To see my son. He's in the car.
Peter, get back inside.
What? Is Dafina in here
smoking again?
Come by later. You can see him then.
Peter Benton, Roger McGrath.
Roger McGrath, Peter Benton.
Roger, will you put Reece
in the car seat, please?
Peter, I've been meaning to
talk to you about this.
He works with Chandra over at the CTA.
He's steady. I mean, he's smart...
...and Reece loves him.
All in. You take care now.
If you want to talk about this later,
give me a call, okay?
Hey, Scoot.
Hey, Chase.
You asked me to drop by today.
Oh, right. Right. Right.
How are you feeling?
I've been better.
Nothing some crank and a half gallon
of Stoli's wouldn't fix.
- It was a joke.
- That's not very funny.
Hang out for a sec.
There's a patient I don't want to miss.
- Hey, Anna.
- Hi there, Chase. How are you?
Oh, great.
Never better, thanks to you.
Your cousin did all the work.
When do you get off work?
I could take you and Anna to dinner.
Actually, I've gotta run.
Maybe some other time. Take care.
Trouble in paradise?
Something like that.
Are you gonna go after her?
If you don't, I will.
- Have you seen Carol?
- She's down the hall.
A Ret*rded couple had a baby
this afternoon.
She's teaching them
how to change diapers.
No kidding?
A little girl.
Six pounds, seven ounces.
Name's Madison. Seems fine.
Good for her.
Listen, Cynthia left early.
Chuny said she was upset.
I'm going to talk to her.
- I know what I'm doing, Doug.
- If you say so.
We saved that r*pist today.
Hell of a world, huh?
Yeah. I'll see you later.
Anna. Anna!
What the hell's the matter with you?
Go back inside.
You'll freeze your ass off out here.
I don't understand.
This morning everything was great.
I'm tired. I was on all night.
Let's just call it a day, okay?
- Is this about that r*pist?
- You know what this is about.
No, I don't.
Why didn't you use the blood on hand?
- It's all we had.
- So?!
We used six units on that guard.
We were short
and you didn't even blink.
Why not use the blood on the kid?
Autotransfusion was
the best course of action.
Oh, please!
We could've done a thoracotomy.
We could've pumped in blood
on the rapid infuser.
Yeah. Well, he lived.
He's in Recovery.
Dumb luck!
You are one of the most aggressive
physicians I have ever seen in Trauma.
And you autotransfuse him?
You didn't want to waste the blood.
You didn't care if he lived or d*ed.
It's my trauma. It's my call.
Would you do it differently
if he wasn't a r*pist?
Come on. Every case is different.
Did you withhold treatment
from that kid?
No.
John, did you withhold treatment?
No.
Fancy meeting you here.
Listen...
...you feel like hitting darts?
Just darts?
Yeah. Just darts.
I mean, if that's okay.
Don't know what you're missing.
I've got a pretty good idea.
As long as I'm not being
unappreciated.
You know, darts usually
involves wagering...
...of a rather substantial nature.
All right. A penny a point.
I'm withdrawing the contract.
I told Anspaugh that Synergix is
no longer interested...
...in managing County's ER.
Why'd you do that?
I only wanted the contract if it meant
working closely with you, Kerry.
Apparently, that's not
possible anymore.
You are a smart...
...beautiful, sexy woman.
I don't want you believing
that I used you, because I didn't.
And I never underestimated you.
Never once.
You underestimate yourself.
Take care.
So you fold under...
...you fold up...
...and you fold over...
...just like that, okay?
Now you try.
Fold up.
Fold over.
That's good. Try it again.
Looks like they're doing great.
Yeah. So why is it so hard for us?
I don't know.
I didn't mean to push.
Take as much time as you need.
I'll wait.
How long you been sitting here?
About an hour...
...give or take.
I wanted him to die.
I saw what he did to that old lady...
...and the others before,
and I wanted him to die.
I didn't think he should
have that blood.
I mean, if somebody'd come in
and they really needed it...
If some little kid had been
hit by a car...
...or some guy had been sh*t...
...if someone like that had d*ed...
...because we wasted
the blood on that guy...
I don't know.
It was my decision.
And I made it.
If he'd d*ed, I don't know
how I'd feel.
But I can't say that I'm sorry.
I mean, was it wrong?
Anna, are you sure?
No.
I'm not sure.
