So the baby's a girl today.
You turned me in?
There's a guy from the medical board
here, questioning my competency.
Minority kids don't have the same
access to academic opportunities.
You want to address that...
...by advancing underqualified applicants
at the expense of our integrity and theirs?
I want him to have an interview.
Everyone deserves to be comforted
in their darkest hour.
Too bad you weren't there to comfort
the little girl he k*lled.
I didn't need to be. God was there.
Was he?
Bishop Stewart, can you hear me?
Call .
Again.
It hurts when I breathe.
Could it be my heart?
Something wrong?
- Hey.
- What?
- Is there something wrong with my heart?
- Probably a bruise to your chest wall.
We'll get an x-ray to make sure.
You were lucky.
We'll probably be sifting through
the walking wounded until morning...
...but I think we're over the hump.
Carter brought up the last critical.
- How many came in?
- Thirty-seven. Five in surgery.
Only two ER deaths.
That's not too bad, considering.
If you don't count the DOAs.
You did a great job. You should
go home. We got it from here.
- The board's backing up.
- We're fine. Go home.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Hey. You leaving?
No, I thought I'd check on the bishop.
- Another critical come in?
- No. That's it.
Is she stable?
- Yeah. After three rounds of terbutaline.
- Good.
- It was scary, though.
- Yeah.
So are you heading home soon?
I don't know.
You okay?
Yeah.
- Any change?
- He didn't want the breathing mask.
- Has he been awake?
- Napping on and off.
What time is it?
: .
You're here late.
You'll have to be intubated soon.
On a ventilator?
Your oxygen level is down to
on % oxygen-
I've seen what happens
after a ventilator.
- If it drops below ...
- Thanks. But no thanks.
Anyway, my bags are packed.
E.R.
SEVEN HOURS EARLIER
Water! I need water.
- Mr. Martin!
- It stings!
Mr. Martin, just give it a few seconds.
No, it stings.
- A few seconds and the pain will fade.
- Need some help?
No. I just put in a drop of Alcaine.
Mr. Martin fell asleep
under a tanning lamp.
I wasn't tanning. I was depressed
due to lack of sunlight.
Tell me about it.
Got back from lunch and it was dark.
UTI in is gone.
- Groundhog see its shadow this year?
- Seeing his shadow...
...has nothing to do
with how much sunlight we get.
Yes, it does.
Six more weeks of winter.
Seven-year-old with diarrhea
and wheezing.
Ordered Solu-Medrol
and breathing treatments.
- Any history of asthma?
- Nope.
- Fever or cough?
- Nothing.
- Carter, want to figure this one out?
- Bring it on.
Okay, that's it. Weaver's on at : .
Could you tell her I'm finished testing
tonight so she can stop avoiding me?
How'd your personality test go?
I scored somewhere between
serial k*ller and talk-show host.
- I thought they were memory tests.
- That was Monday.
What's next, Rorschach? Spelling bee?
Swimwear competition,
sudden-death Twister.
Who knows? Maybe a chili cook-off.
The needle goes in, but you can
squeeze on the owie ball. See that?
- What's up?
- Hold that for me?
Kid freaked out when
I tried to start an IV.
- Who's...?
- She's a new intern for Pedes.
- to give you medicine. And then
it won't hurt anymore, okay?
Hey, Jason. I'm Dr. Carter. I understand
you're having some trouble breathing.
- You mom?
- Yes.
- Any history of asthma here?
- No.
Mrs. Fabrone works as a
cleaning lady at a church.
She found a bottle of holy water
in the sanctuary and thought...
- ... it might help with Jason's diarrhea.
- Holy water?
Only it tasted funny. When Jason started
coughing, she checked. It was lamp oil.
- He aspirated holy oil?
- I guess so.
That's the common duct.
We don't cut that. What time is it?
- : .
- No, no, no. Your interview tomorrow.
- Oh. : a. m.
- Get there by : .
Right.
- So why do you want to be a doctor?
- What?
- It's a common question in the interview.
- Oh, yeah.
Clips. So, what's the answer?
I wanna help people?
No?
All right. Now we dissect
the gallbladder from the liver.
- What's the right answer?
- You tell me.
The money?
I wanna be a role model.
- If you're not gonna take this seriously-
- I am. I just don't know.
- I guess I always thought it'd be cool.
- Well, at least that's honest.
- So I should say that?
- Of course not.
Dr. Benton, how much
longer do you have?
Are you timing me?
Mass-cas called in.
They need you downstairs.
- What happened?
- They didn't give details.
All right. Let me get some more suction.
I'll be maybe minutes.
You should hang out.
You never know what you'll see.
Great job, Jason. I'll stop by and see
you later, okay? You're admitting him?
Yeah, just for a day. Keep him on
continuous nebs and monitor his sats.
- Where's mom?
- She went to go talk to her priest.
Could've used you, actually.
She got a little upset after you left.
About her kid or because
she stole from the church?
My friend used to lift communion wine
for us. He just went to confession.
- What about you?
- Me? I just got sick.
- So you're a heathen.
- Protestant.
Is there a difference?
- Will you sign this for me?
- What is it?
It's for my supervisor. If you think
I did a good job with the kid.
"Child Life Specialist."
Intern. First day.
Oh, yeah? Hey, welcome. John Carter.

Or maybe we should try magnesium.
We will if we have to. Okay?
Let's just wait and see.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
- Irrigate.
- More Ativan?
No. Stopped seizing once he relieved

- That man.
They cut open his chest,
but he d*ed.
- Yes. He had a fatal injury.
- What about the boy?
He went up to surgery.
- Is he going to die?
- I don't know.
Is there someone we can call for you?
Your mom or dad?
They won't understand.
Won't understand what?
I thought it would be painless.
The train would hit my car...
...I'd just be gone.
Yeah, don't talk to me about saturated.
You haven't seen saturated.
Chuny, I need a trauma panel.
What's open?
I don't care. I'm admitting them!
- Carter, they're holding O.R. -
- I was just there. No surgeon.
- Is he stable?
- Yeah...
...but I had to sedate him
with of Valium.
- Carter, are you deaf?
- What?
I keep shouting, you keep
getting on the elevator?
- Is this the pre-op amputation?
- This is the post-op amputation.
What, in the field?
What did they use, a chain saw?
- Dr. Benton talked me through-
- You did this?
There was nobody else-
Well, by all means, let's get whoever's
available. You ought to try it next time.
- Maybe if you'd respond to your page-
- I can't wear my pager in the dojo.
Brenda knew where I was.
Should have called her. Let's go.
Dr. Weaver, flail chest in just
dropped his pulse ox down to .
Carter, can you take this?
- Yeah, give him another one. I'll clean up.
- Maybe I should have just let him die.
- Good work, Carter.
- I know.
Really. He was lucky
that you were out there.
- Thank you. I'm coming!
- Carter!
- Kerry?
- Yeah.
- You have a suicidal ideation?
- Young girl in Trauma .
- Does she have a plan?
- Parked her car in front of a train.
- I suppose that qualifies.
- She's also in a major depression.
- Flat affect?
- No real remorse.
- About the su1c1de attempt?
- For the train wreck.
Oh, my.
- Think you're gonna get off before ?
- Probably not.
Okay.
- I'll try to be quiet.
- No. Wake me.
Something wrong?
Hey.
- What?
- There something wrong with my heart?
Probably a bruise to your chest wall.
We'll get an x-ray to make sure.
- You were lucky.
- We're still sifting through...
...the walking wounded,
but we're over the hump.
- Carter just took the last critical.
- How many came in?
Thirty-seven. Five up in surgery.
Only two ER deaths.
- That's not bad, considering.
- If you don't count the DOAs.
You did great work today.
You should go home. We got it.
- Board's backing up.
- That's all right. Go home.
- Shirley called for you.
- What?
O.R. nurse. You asked her to call when
the mom and son came out of surgery.
- Did they?
- Yeah. They're in Recovery.
Mom's got sensation in her legs,
and the kid's neurologically intact.
- That's good, right?
- Yeah. That's good.
You still here?
The nurses put me to work,
thought I was a volunteer or something.
Good. Now you've got an experience
to talk about in your interview.
- I don't know.
- It's yours. You might as well use it.
- I mean, I don't know if I want to.
- Want to what?
What I saw tonight...
Most people go their whole lives
without seeing stuff like that.
Drilling into a little boy's head.
Guys having their legs cut off.
- People dying right in front of you.
- You get used to it.
Yeah. That's what I'm afraid of.
- But thanks for helping me find out early.
- Go to the interview.
- Dr. Benton-
- You may feel differently in a few days.
- I know, but-
- Hey, give yourself options.
Anything?
No contractions since the third round.
Fetal heart rate looks good.
- So it's over.
- Aside from bed rest.
How long do you think?
You can catch me up on my soaps.
It'll be okay.
When I felt the baby move before,
obviously I knew it was in there, but...
- Suddenly this feels real, you know?
- Yes, Mom.
OB's waiting, and Transpo promises
they'll be down soon to take you up.
- Thanks, Abby.
- The monitor stays on...
- ...for at least hours.
- I'll keep it on until I give birth.
You just have to slow down.
No more helicopters.
Right.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You leaving?
- No. I thought I'd check on the bishop.
- Another critical come in?
- No. That's it.
Is she stable?
- Yeah. After three rounds of terbutaline.
- Good.
- Yeah. It was scary, though.
- Yeah.
You heading home soon?
I don't know.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Any change?
- He didn't want the breathing mask.
- Has he been awake?
- Napping on and off.
What time is it?
- : .
- You're here late.
- You'll have to be intubated soon.
- On a ventilator?
Your oxygen level is down to
on % oxygen.
I've seen what happens
after the ventilator.
- If it drops below -
- Thanks, but no thanks.
Anyway...
...my bags are packed.
How long do I have?
Maybe hours.
- Then I'd better hear it now.
- Hear what?
- Your confession.
- Bishop, I don't think...
That's what you came up here for,
isn't it?
- I wanted to check on you.
- You're searching for your faith.
You think you lost it,
but you only buried it.
It's never left you.
In the name of the Father, of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
May God, who enlightens
every heart...
...help you to know your sins
and trust in his mercy.
- Father, I can't...
- Luka.
Your heart is burdened, Luka.
Talk to me.
Let me take that burden with me.
I don't know. I...
Lost my family.
Danijela, my wife, she wanted
to move out of Vukovar.
But I had to finish my internship.
And soon it was too late.
It wasn't safe to move.
I was gonna get some supplies...
...and I made them stay behind.
I was just crossing the street when...
...the mortar shell hit
the apartment building.
Go on.
I ran inside.
There were my neighbors. Hurt.
Bleeding. Dying. But I passed them by.
I had to get to my family.
Danijela!
Danijela!
Luka.
Luka...
Marko...
A piece of shrapnel had torn
into Danijela's spleen...
...and she was bleeding to death.
When I turned back to my daughter,
she wasn't breathing.
I lost her pulse. But as long as
I kept doing CPR and breathing...
...for my daughter,
I thought she had a chance.
I could only pray that someone
would get there to help.
If I had picked up Danijela at that
moment and gotten her to the hospital...
...she could have had surgery.
You know, she could have lived.
But I couldn't leave my little girl.
I waited and prayed.
I prayed someone would come.
And no one came.
No one came.
Jasna. Jasna.
I called out for hours
as I stayed there...
...breathing for her, doing CPR.
I finally had to stop from exhaustion.
I lost them all.
You couldn't sacrifice the one
to save the other.
Even if you had,
you'd still blame yourself.
These things can't be explained.
Why it happens.
The providence of God
and the mysteries of life and death...
...are the very fiber of our faith.
They were gifts of love and life.
You are a gift of love and life.
Don't turn your back on them.
God, father of all mercies,
through the death and resurrection...
...of your only begotten Son...
...was reconciled himself to the world...
...and sent the Holy Spirit among us
for the forgiveness of sins.
Through the ministry of Holy Church...
...may God give you pardon and peace.
And I absolve you of all your sins...
...in the name of the Father
and of the Son...
...and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
