00:34Come on.
00:41Call me if there's a resurrection.
00:45Hey, Perla.
00:47Doctor?
00:48Your kids have any pets?
00:50Oh, my house is like a zoo.
00:52You have a dog?
00:53Oh, no dogs, no cats.
00:55I followed my mother's rule.
00:56No pets that can't be buried at sea.
00:59I'm not sure I follow.
01:00You ever try to flush a guinea pig?
01:03Try explaining that to your plumber.
01:06Good to know.
01:13Hey, what's up with your asthma guy?
01:15Responding to albuterol.
01:16Hey, one more nabble discharge on prednisone.
01:18How's it going out in chairs?
01:20That's fine, I guess.
01:20Dr. McKay seems nice.
01:24Cassie?
01:24Oh, yeah, she's great.
01:26She been here long?
01:27A little while.
01:27Why?
01:28I'm just curious.
01:29Do you know what she did before she came here?
01:31What she did?
01:32What do you mean?
01:32Like school?
01:34Oh, like school.
01:35Work.
01:35Um, personal life.
01:39I'm just trying to get to know her better.
01:41Um, yeah, I don't, uh, I don't know.
01:43I don't know that much about her.
01:44She has a son.
01:45I know that.
01:45She's a, she's a pretty private person.
01:49Anything else?
01:50No.
01:50Sorry, I'm good.
01:55Hey, where are we at with opening up some beds?
01:57Our Nepali lady with the crushed foot, Manu, she's still in line for the oar?
02:02Yeah, she got bumped by your Lefort III fracture, Ben Kemper.
02:05He just went up.
02:06Still waiting for him to take the electrocution fasciotomy.
02:09What about our OD in Central 7?
02:11Robbie wants a few more tests.
02:12He's stable and on a vent.
02:14Is he a candidate for organ donation?
02:16Not sure.
02:17Then why is Robbie keeping him here?
02:19I don't know.
02:19Maybe he sees something we don't.
02:21Or maybe he's hoping for something that isn't there.
02:23What's there is an 18-year-old kid named Nick Bradley.
02:26Yeah, is he, though?
02:27I don't mean to be a dick, but...
02:28You just can't help it?
02:29No, as sad as it is, that kid is gone, and if we get him upstairs to ICU,
02:32we're going to use that bed to actually help somebody.
02:34Robbie is helping somebody.
02:36He's helping two people, in fact.
02:38They're in there right now, praying over their dead son.
02:41They just haven't let their hearts accept it yet.
02:43Jesus, 9 o'clock.
02:44You're already bumming me out.

02:56Don't make me tell Robbie you're cherry-picking.
02:58I'll take, uh, projectile vomiting in North 5 for 200, Alex.

10:22i'd be more than happy just doing one but hey if you wanted to give me more i'd be fine with that too
10:27but
10:27that's up to you i'm down for anything
10:29confidence and ambition are great attributes
10:32especially when paired with respect and humility
10:36okay what else
10:38what uh what else went well
10:40we checked for reversible causes of cardiac arrest on ultrasound
10:45okay
10:46good
10:46does anybody have anything that they wish had gone differently
10:49in the hall
10:49you should have been on a cardiac monitor
10:51we would have caught the arrest right away
10:53that's true
10:53but there was no indication for monitoring
10:56and we now know that his abdominal pain was not from his gallstones
10:59but from unstable angina due to coronary artery disease
11:02then we should have admitted to cardiology
11:04we did an ekg
11:06we did a troponin
11:07he had a heart score of three
11:08who can tell me what that means
11:10one percent chance of an adverse cardiac event in the next 30 days
11:14standard of care is to discharge without patient follow-up

21:53no it's not very good we're gonna send you up to the cath lab
21:56a cardiologist is gonna unblock that with balloon
21:58and leave it open with a stent
21:59but i'm still having a heart attack
22:01if everything goes as planned i'd be like you never had a heart attack
22:03we're gonna put a catheter in this artery right here
22:05we're gonna shave the hair with a clipper
22:06as long as you stop short of a brazilian
22:08it's an option we offer
22:09costs a little bit more
22:11a lot of people's insurance won't cover
22:12don't make me laugh
22:13it hurts
22:14deal

23:02you're welcome
23:02two saves
23:07totally awesome
23:09i just held a beating human heart in my hands
23:12we should celebrate
23:14we should clean these rooms and bring some more patients back
23:17sounds like a plan
23:18rest for the wicked
23:19coach stemmy was fast
23:21time is myocardium
23:23and our statistics for door to balloon time get reviewed critiqued and published online
23:27door to balloon time
23:28that's the time from when they hit our door to when the angioplasty balloon gets inflated in the cath lab
23:33if we keep it to under 51 minutes we can reverse a heart attack and save a life
23:36i kind of wish mr milton had a stemmy
23:39thank you for letting me go the distance on him
23:42i really thought we'd get him back you know
23:44yeah well you know even though you do everything right you don't always get what you hope for
23:48uh my parents both had sickle cell trait and i was screened as a newborn with the hemoglobin fs pattern
23:57did you take penicillin
23:58mm-hmm until i was five and the vaccines kicked in
24:01she has her entire medical history on her phone
24:04it's extremely long
24:05dr mohan do you have a minute
24:07yep
24:08excuse me
24:09is there a problem over there no her pain's well controlled you understand that's my polite way of asking why are you spending so much time with one patient
24:21you're an r3 as an r3 you should be seeing at least two patients an hour
24:25i have two joyce and mr wallace are good to matter
24:27who's comatose and stable you should have four by now
24:30i have the highest patient satisfaction of anyone
24:33i don't doubt it but we just had this conversation a couple hours ago
24:36i know people call me slow mo
24:37you don't have to confirm or deny it used to hurt my feelings
24:41a lot but i can't help it
24:43i work at the speed i'm comfortable at
24:45because
24:46you're afraid of making a mistake
24:49i'm always afraid of making a mistake aren't you
24:51yeah of course i am but you know what i mean
24:53you make a mistake once and somebody dies
24:55and you feel so badly about it you'll never let it happen
24:57how is that wrong
24:58because you waste time and money on unnecessary tests
25:02you keep sick patients waiting too long
25:05you miss out on cases you could be learning from
25:07you shortchange your own education
25:08i'm not saying this to be a hard ass
25:10i'm saying this because i know you can do this
25:12but you need to do it at a level i also know you're capable of
25:15and what if i'm not
25:16then you should look into a specialty that better suits you
25:19have you thought about psychiatry
25:20i don't want to go into psychiatry i want to be here
25:23being here means no matter how good you are
25:26or how hard you try you're going to make another mistake
25:28and someone else might even die
25:30that's called being an emergency medicine doctor
25:32and if you can't accept that then maybe this isn't the place for you
25:37i can accept that
25:38you sure
25:39yes
25:40okay
25:40good
25:41go save some lives
25:43clear some beds while you're at it
25:46i would fancy a spot of tea at some point
25:52you want some tea darling
25:53i'll get you some tea
25:54oh thank you sweetheart
25:56is dr robbie available
25:58he's with the patient can i help
25:59my father's starting to move
26:01okay i'll let him know
26:02thanks
26:03yeah
26:03is it good or bad
26:06if there's no spontaneous breathing
26:08then carbon dioxide levels rise above 60
26:11so 82
26:12definitely means that nick's brainstem is not triggering him to breathe
26:16well how can you fix that
26:17we can't
26:18i'm sorry
26:19but with rest and time
26:22this is not something that heals on its own
26:24there's got to be something else uh that we can do
26:27nick is our only child
26:28is that test 100 accurate
26:31it is
26:32isn't there anything else
26:34we can do an imaging test called a cerebral perfusion study
26:38then let's do it
26:39but you have to understand that would be the last test what we would do
26:41if it comes back that there's no blood flow to nick's brain
26:45it would confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt
26:49that there's been brain death
26:51which would mean that he's gone
26:55uh then then we wait and see
27:00call nuclear medicine see how soon they can take him
27:05you got it
27:06i'll be back in a few minutes
27:08ah thank you

30:04just talking about
30:06oh

30:21friends
30:22is there anything i can assist you with dr ravi
30:34i think we're best on our own right now thank you
30:36he keeps trying to pull away
30:37we're giving him some more sedation
30:39why is he so agitated
30:41he could have some awareness of the tube in his throat
30:43or that he's in a strange place
30:45or it could be lack of oxygen to his brain
30:48does he need more oxygen
30:49he's on a hundred percent
30:51that's as high as it goes
30:52that is his blood pressure dropping
30:55oh
30:56is that even fixable
30:57normally yes
30:59with iv fluids
31:00but we now know that that will just fill up his lungs
31:02drop his oxygen even more
31:04wasn't there something else we can do
31:06we can place a
31:08long
31:09large ivy catheter in his jugular vein
31:11down into his heart
31:12and administer levophed
31:14which is a very powerful medicine
31:16constrict his arteries
31:17raise his blood pressure
31:18but
31:19that could cause
31:21other organ damage
31:23organ failure
31:23i'm really sorry
31:26but
31:26each new step
31:28is even more invasive
31:29could cause more suffering
31:31with minimal benefit
31:33uh

38:09she's worried sick about her son
38:11what are you going to do
38:13i thought he would come back after mom called him
38:15hey what are the ethics about me reaching out to him
38:18under the guise of a medical emergency with mom
38:19if he's a danger to himself or others
38:22i'd argue you have a professional responsibility to do whatever's necessary
38:26right
38:27okay
38:29hey can you come talk to the parents of the od kit that we brought in earlier
38:3218 year old brain dead from a fentanyl overdose

39:07i forgot about your phobia with rats
39:10it is not a phobia nobody likes rats
39:13some people keep them as pets
39:14if you are purposely keeping a rat in your house that is not a pet
39:19that is a sign of an underlying mental health problem
39:22okay if it makes you feel any better just think of them as cute little disney mice with a pituitary condition
39:26joke all you want
39:28but if one of those disgusting things bites a patient and we get a case of hantavirus
39:33guess who's going to have to answer for that one chief

44:46i'm sorry i could not save ray's life
44:53we worked on him for several hours but his injuries were too severe

46:09oh did i hurt your feelings
46:12cocksucker
46:13that said it has a certain whimsical quality to it
46:17that i could probably learn to live with
46:19whatever you say fruitcake
46:21excuse me doctor
46:22my father's starting to struggle again
46:24okay
46:24did you know those things will kill you?
46:32not that lucky
46:33what the fuck
46:36hey they're stealing our rig
46:39did you leave the keys in it?
46:43always in case somebody needs to move it
46:45yeah you probably shouldn't have done that
46:46why don't you come on inside ziggler we'll look you over
46:48i'm fine fuck that
46:50you leave that shit
46:52what happens
46:54what can you do to make him more comfortable?
47:00we can take the tube out
47:01but he needs that to breathe
47:03if we extubate
47:05we would keep him on oxygen for comfort
47:07it would decrease his sedation
47:10he might regain consciousness
47:12he could recognize you
47:13maybe even speak
47:14well i don't want to do anything to jeopardize him getting better
47:17that's just the point helen
47:19he's never getting better
47:21you don't know that
47:22you don't know that
47:23i do know that
47:24okay he knows that
47:25and dad probably even knows it
47:28it's time to let him go
47:31i'm sorry if you've had your fill of dad but i haven't
47:34and i am not giving up on him
47:36even if it's hurting him
47:40i'm sorry but if there was anything i could do to heal your father i would do it
47:46but the most humane thing that i can do for him
47:49is to allow him a painless peaceful passing
47:52and that requires removing the breathing tube
47:55fuck
47:57how long um will it take once the tube's out
48:01from minutes to hours
48:03but we would ensure that he'd be in no physical discomfort
48:06okay
48:33so
48:35so
