نخستین 200 خط.
Due to a systems failure, this department is closed.
You're going to take heat for closing those doors though.
I am aware.
Oh my God! It's Claire!
Out of the way, out of the way, out of the way!
I used to cut myself.
I used to think the problem was everyone else,
but the problem is me... Hating myself.
I'm still married, Theo.
I can't be the one who comes between that.
How do you feel going through all this trouble
trying to save me knowing I'm just gonna die?
Well, like you said, irrelevant.
The patient we should be discussing right now is you.
- In my capacity as your cardiologist. - Actually, you're not anymore.
I don't want a doctor who blames her patients
instead of listening to them.
You been in a camp like this before?
Yeah and practiced there.
So why'd you come back?
They held me for almost a year.
All because one of my best friends gave my name
as a doctor supporting the rebellion to save his own life.
- Hey! You want some? - Yeah.
Oh.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Don't do it.
Nothing good ever comes of that.
They're gonna try to sell you somethi...
Hey! Aw! You're early, Mom.
- Hey, sweetheart. - Hey, good to see you. Come on.
I'm sorry I completely forgot to tell you
that she's coming with me to meet what seems to be
the only cardiologist in Toronto who's taking on complex patients.
Oh, well, it's always good to have a buffer. Hi Ms. Leblanc.
Yeah, for the doctor too, knowing Magalie. Hello, June.
Oh, yeah, we've been dealing with hum, a few leaks.
More like not dealing with the leaks.
Okay, so why don't you both come stay in my hotel room tonight
and I'll call a professional to fix this.
Yeah, I'm sure Dad would love that, crowding your space.
- Do you want some coffee? - Maybe, he didn't come?
Uh... He's in the country.
He's been living there, actually.
I'm staying in the city.
Wha...
Is she trying to tell me that they split up?
- I'm trying to find coffee. - What happened? So suddenly?
Nothing happened, sweetheart, and it was not sudden,
it just took until now to admit it.
Okay so, un-suddenly, you just happened to walk away
from everything you've built in the past 30 years?
Magalie, my point is that neither of us were happy.
And now I get to try things I'd forgotten
even existed outside marriage.
- And so does your father. - Uh...
I'm sure eventually we'll all still have family dinners...
- Okay, no, Mom! - I should go.
- No! Why? - Why?
Sweetheart, I know it's a lot for you to take in,
but can you look at this?
Oh, my God, Mom, you are not buying a loft in the Mile End.
Your father's emotionally attached to the house,
I need something of my own.
And you're emotionally attached to nothing?
How did he take it? Dad.
- Not great. - Well, yeah.
It's nice being able to talk to you like this.
It's been over a week, but the IT department tracked the virus
to a malware email opened by an ED staffer
who obviously didn't take his cyber training very seriously.
Yeah, we've had several incidents of compromised care,
and we're fielding complaints as they come.
Frankly, it's a miracle that no one died.
Well, no one died inside the hospital,
but there's no way of knowing who didn't make it in
and what the consequences of that may be.
Well, we do know we've come under media fire
almost daily since then.
I think we can all agree the virus wreaked havoc.
But looking forward, we can't be one tipping point away
- from total collapse. - Yes,
we have systemic challenges to address,
but your most senior Nurse Manager
was attacked by an individual, not the institution.
And legal recommends avoiding any admission of fault
until we have more details about the incident.
Claire was brutally attacked after our department
was pushed to the brink and you're worried about a lawsuit?
How's she doing? Claire.
She's had a long week, multiple surgeries. Look...
I stand behind my decision to close the doors.
Do you stand behind me?
- Who's the suit? - Oh, hospital keeps sending them
to ask if I remember anything else.
- Starting or ending? - Ah, neither.
I just had some time to kill before an appointment nearby.
- Does this say your creatinine's up? - Mags.
Yeah, yeah. Sorry.
I'm guessing that you don't remember much still, do you?
When I think about who else he might be out there hurting
because I, 'cause I can't.
Except that's not on you and they shouldn't be bugging you about it.
- You okay? - Ugh.
Yeah, just some mild spasm,
my doctor said it's normal after what happened.
Your doctor didn't note spasms in your chart.
Brevity seems to be his main skill.
Hey, you're awake! Morning provisions.
Aw, you guys don't need to keep doing that.
Is that baby food?
Fibre's good for the kidney and since you're down one...
Hey, your temp's up.
I thought you had a problem with ceftriaxone?
Did you say that to Doctor Brevity?
A doctor deferring to a nurse?
What are you new here, Mags?
Okay. Think I'll just...
Ah, I didn't get it.
- The second in command job. - Meaning Liz got it?
- I'm sorry Theo. - Honestly, it's fine.
I mean who'd want that job now, anyway?
- You're just trying to make me feel better. - No, I'm not. I'm not.
Mags, you have been in this funk for days.
- Is it because of... - Yeah, it's because of everything.
Okay, well, I mean, at least he's vaccinated.
- And, anyway, I know he's gonna be home soon... - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- What are you talking about? - Bash.
Vaccinated for what?
He didn't tell you.
He didn't tell me what, Theo?
There is a cholera outbreak at that camp.
But, I'm sure he's fine.
Oh my God, I could remove a gallbladder
in the time it takes you to bet.
And yet you're back every day for more. All in.
See, this is why I only play for real money.
It just doesn't cost enough to make stupid calls.
Then let's raise the stakes.
If I win, you stick around for Olsen's check-in
and let me do my thing.
Dude we've already gone over this,
I can't lie to the CMO about getting a competing offer.
Doctor Curtis. Didn't know that you were...
- working, this morning. - Yeah, I was uh, just...
Picking my brain about Western.
We're looking to open up our own Trauma OR and could use her.
Well, as for you, William,
the swelling from your pelvic fracture is down,
but unfortunately is not healing as well as we had hoped.
Yes. Well, my immune system's been otherwise engaged.
About that. The neutropenia from your cancer
is presenting some challenges keeping infection at bay.
Now, normally,
I'd want to go back in and realign but in your case...
Then, you would agree that both Curtis and I
should carefully consider our options.
Hi, I'm Theo. And I hear you're having some pain?
Food poisoning, I think. My husband cooked last night.
Any vomiting, diarrhea?
Bad cramps in the middle of the night.
- Threw up a couple times. - And your husband, is he sick too?
He has an iron stomach.
And for once I'm relieved the kids refuse to eat
anything but mac and cheese.
Yeah, my oldest just outgrew that phase.
So you're telling me there's hope?
- We have four under eight. - Wow!
Why don't you sit back for me.
- Right. Any pain there, no? - No.
Okay.
All right, I'm going to give you a solution called the Pink Lady.
It'll help with the indigestion.
And if you're keeping your fluids down,
it should run its course in about 24 hours.
Do you think you could give us a urine sample, just to be safe?
- Okay. - Perfect. Come with me.
- Oh my God! - Uh, is it time for your period?
I'm on birth control, I don't get my period.
Ah, Rhoda?
We are going to run some bloods and do an ultrasound,
- see what's going on. Okay? - Okay.
- Thank you. - It's gonna be all right.
Relax.
Nothing gives you leverage like a real threat of leaving.
You're in the power seat now.
And you're welcome, by the way.
You know, if he calls to check your story...
I'll admit to being the prick that I am.
Believe me, it's a freeing concept to just accept.
And messed up.
Speaking of things that can't be fixed,
I'd like you to help me die.
I've seen my case a thousand times as an oncologist.
Infection keeps getting worse. Pain increases.
I lose any shred of autonomy.
Why are you asking me?
In case you haven't noticed,
I'm not exactly drowning in loved ones.
And I don't want a big production. Quick and clean.
Okay.
