New Amsterdam

Wow.

You guys all look how I feel.

Happens when your worst day is immortalized in print.

Bad karma.

Bad karma for what?

We were all just staring to groove, weren't we?

I should have never doubted myself.

I should have gotten there sooner.

My personal life affected my decision-making.

Guys, I should have made a diagnosis sooner.

But we can't just sit here beating ourselves up over it.

- Okay? - I feel like we can.

Or at least I can.

"Yesterday morning, at 7:38 a.m.,

a bullet ripped through New Amsterdam."

I got dinged for not changing my patient's TV channel

fast enough.

Apparently my name brings back bad memories.

I get it.

The customer satisfaction survey isn't good.

- So rewrite the survey. - What?

If you don't like the answers,

change the questions.

What should the patients focus on?

Nurses know better than anyone.

Harold. (CLEARS THROAT)

You're a long way from the morgue.

Oh, the ICU has the only decent coffee in the hospital.

You know, I may work with the dead,

but that doesn't mean I have their taste.

Well, I say equal coffee now, equal coffee forever.

It's a joke, Harold. We'll get you the same coffee.

Sharpe, why does nobody get my jokes?

You just missed me solve the hospital's most vexing problem.

That the ICU has the only decent coffee?

- So that is actually a thing? - (CHUCKLES)

- Are you heading out? - I was.

When did that happen to your voice?

On my day off. That'll teach me.

You don't think the, uh, "Nutella" is spreading, do you?

I hope you don't expect me to call it that.

Why? Everyone loves Nutella.

Let me do a laryngoscopy and see what's going on

with the, uh... Nutella.

See? It's catchy.

Dora.

Getting exceptionally good at finding me.

I've updated your tracking device.

Whatever it is that you wanna tell me or want me to do,

I can't do it 'cause I have a thing.

My thing trumps your thing.

- Find me later. - Okay.

Max, this is Louis Navarro from the "Standard."

Apparently HCC approved him to shadow you.

Right, yes. For the, um, profile.

Overlord told me.

- Overlord? - HCC.

Your supervisors.

Who doesn't like a fun nickname?

- (LAUGHS) - Probably HCC.

Do you have a contentious relationship

with the Health Care Commission?

Off to a great start.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go start

- posting my résumé. - (CHUCKLES)

Do you?

Why don't we start over?

Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Navarro.

No, Lou.

So intrigued to meet the 'Dam's newest medical director

turning this place upside-down.

Well, I'm an open book.

Hey, is, uh, your voice okay?

Karaoke. You know, one of these days, I have to accept that

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" just isn't in my range.

- Pan roasted whole branzino. - Mm-hmm.

Served with ramps and fiddleheads

steeped in an unctuous maitake jus.

- What are fiddleheads? - I have no idea.

But I'm gonna order them tonight.

- Mmm. - Maybe even twice.

Taking Martin to Verdugo for dinner.

No kids.

You know, I think once a year, it's important to go somewhere

that doesn't have a maze on the menu.

- You know what I mean? - Dr. Kapoor?

Am I needed?

There's somebody here to see you.

He said he's your son.

Who?

- Your son? - Wait, you have a son?

Hey, hey.

You have a son?

Vijay.

Vijay.

Hmm... not good.

You only have five eggs... oh, maybe six in play,

in your ovulation cycle.

Ten is considered normal.

There's a few weeks left in my cycle.

Others could still catch up.

Yes, in theory, they could, but...

I'm a late bloomer.

School, my chest, men.

- (CHUCKLES) - These eggs will come round.

Helen, you said you wanted to know where your fertility was.

Well, here it is.

Your FSH is high.

Your AMH is low because your ovaries are aging fast.

You have diminished ovarian reserves, which...

Hey.

Hey, it's just the genes you were dealt.

Yeah, right. (GRUNTS)

If you're interested in having your own

biological child, you're gonna have to work

on that now.

One option, we freeze embryos.

Or we could work to start getting you pregnant

as soon as your next cycle.

So, um...

You're going to have to make some decisions on this.

That piece that you wrote on the uh, uh,

corporatization of health care for the "Times" was great.

Oh, you remember that? That was a decade ago.

Yeah, but my favorite is the one you wrote on the, uh,

uh, inadequacies of... of maternal postpartum care.

Mm, also ten years ago.

Yeah, why aren't you writing pieces like that anymore?

Well, you know, the market now demands shorter,

buzzier topics.

But the health care system demands more.

Okay, yeah, let's... let's talk about you.

Your story. How you got here.

Lou, I'm flattered, but I'm not the story here.

New Amsterdam is.

Mm, the only thing new about New Amsterdam is you.

Now, HCC gave me full access to follow you around

- the entire hospital. - Full access?

Anywhere in the hospital is fair game.

Max.

Did you know that HCC gave Lou full access?

The Chief of Police just called.

It's... it's bad.

Malik Stokes, 14-year-old GSW to left and right.

It seems like a through and through. Scoop and go.

He's tachy at 120, 100 over 68,

respiration's at 16.

Jesus, he's just a kid.

Hey, Malik, I'm Dr. Bloom, okay?

We're here to help you.

- (GROANING) - Malik?

I'm here, baby.

Malik? Malik?

I'm right here, baby. I'm here, baby.

Ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

He can't die like this. You have to save him.

He can't die...

Escort her out of here, please.

Okay, transfer on my count. One, two, three.

Second ambulance coming in.

Type and cross two units and get a second IV.

- (DOOR OPENING) - Jalen Pagan.

17-year-old GSW with a bullet hole on the left side of his neck.

98, 145 over 85, 14.

He was on the same corner as the first victim.

According to NYPD, only one shot.

One bullet.

Must have been some bullet.

Okay, let's get him into bay 24.

Jalen, can you wiggle your toes for me?

Okay, that's great.

Malik's BP is dropping. Heart rate is rising.

Okay, hang two bags of normal saline.

Let's get a type and cross match.

On it.

Heart rate's climbing now to 154.

And BP's dropping. 80/40.

Muffled heart sounds.

Malik's got a pericardial effusion.

Fluid must be accumulating around his heart.

Heart rate's gone from 100 to 160.

Okay, if we don't do a pericardiocentesis soon,

his BP will bottom out. Where's cardiothoracic surgery?

- Reynolds is ten minutes out. - What about one of his new hires?

All three have been scrubbed for their own surgeries.

BP's dropping again.

Okay, I'll do it.

Uh, get me an 18-gauge spinal needle

and a 20-cc syringe. Go.

- It's against protocol. - What do you want me to do?

Wait until he's pulseless so I can call time of death?

Get me an 18-gauge spinal needle

and a 20-cc syringe. Now.

Heart rate's up to 180.

Get a second IV bag.

O2 sats are dropping.

Steady. Steady.

- BP's dropping. - I got it.
