Chicago Med

This is the main entrance, though it's not really private.

So this is where he's-- you can take a look.

Hi. Oh, my god.

Is that really you?

Aww.

And look at you,

Like you were never even pregnant.

How are your boobs feeling?

Besieged.

That'll happen. Mm-hmm.

Cover this side.

What's with all the suits?

Some mucky-muck flying into town

For heart surgery.

This is what they call an advance team.

And here i thought you were rolling out

The red carpet for me.

Sorry.

But i'm glad to see you.

I'm surprised you didn't ask for a couple more weeks.

Well, it's been a month.

I was just joking.

You mean you don't think i'm a bad mom?

Juvie. Respiratory distress.

All right.

Welcome back, dr. Manning.

Thank you.

Trauma 2.

I'll get your stuff. Thanks.

All tenens to the ed.

13-year-old female, michelle.

Worsened on the ride. This is her father.

Michelle, i'm dr. Manning. I'm gonna take care of you.

When did this start? 20 minutes ago.

Is she asthmatic? No.

Bee sting? Something she ate?

Definitely not something she ate.

How can you be sure?

Because she never eats anything

I don't prepare for her.

All right, we're gonna move her on my count.

One, two, three.

Call respiratory for a vent, stat,

And get a crash cart in here.

Yes, dr. Manning. She's in bronchospasm.

Breathe, breathe.

Draw up .3 milligrams of epi, 1/1000, and give it im.

Got it. I'm not sure that's safe.

She's on other medications. What medications?

Metoprolol, and tegretol for her seizures,

Methadone for her pain-- methadone?

She has mitochondrial disease.

It affects her body's ability to produce--

I'm familiar with mito. Stats are dropping.

All right, we can't wait for respiratory.

We need to intubate.

Get me 20 of etomidate, 80 of sux.

She's spasmed down. Where are the drugs?

I lost the iv. I'm trying again on this side.

We don't have time. We need to crich her.

Get me a 10cc syringe and a 16-gauge needle, now.

What is happening? Sir, i need you to step out.

Don't tell me what to do.

My daughter is dying and you're letting her.

Now! Sir, step back.

No, look-- it's all right, kiddo.

Needle, now. Here, doctor.

Go ahead and hang another liter.

Stand by.

I'm okay.

I'm okay!

Hold off.

I'm okay.

Sats are improving.

Let's get a face mask on her. Yes, doctor.

Oh, thank god you pulled out of it.

Sorry i scared you, dad.

Are you okay?

Am i okay?

Listen to you.

Oh, you silly girl.

Deep breaths, deep breaths.

I've never seen someone improve like that so quick.

You?

No.

Sync & Corrected by -= samir133 =-

You had a g-tube implanted?

Helps with her nutrition.

She's not the greatest eater.

We iv her supplements and vitamins.

My smoothie.

And the, uh...

Central line catheter?

It's for all her meds.

Mm.

She's good to go.

You are a very brave girl.

Got that from her mother.

My wife died four years ago.

Breast cancer.

I'm sorry.

Not long after that's when kiddo here

Started getting sick.

Migraines, fatigue, ibs.

For a while, i figured

It was just part of the mourning process,

But it kept happening.

I got that.

I took her to-- i don't know how many doctors,

But nobody knew what was wrong,

So i went online

And found out about mito.

You went online for that?

For the first time,

What michelle was going through finally made sense.

Good news, we know what it is.

Bad news, there's no cure.

So we manage.

Okay.

Well, i'd like to do a full workup

Before discharging her.

See if we can find what caused those spasms.

Could take a couple of hours.

You guys okay with that?

Do what you do.

We're old pros.

Never leave home unprepared,

Just in case we end up in the hospital.

This way.

Well, it looks like royalty's arrived.

You're referring to him...

Or him?

Princes come and go,

But there's only one king downey.

Ah, yes, your highness.

Welcome.

Guy's a surgical rock star.

This prince flies halfway around the world

To have him replace his valve.

This is the place we want to be.

Come on, your room's ready.

Downey, number one with a bullet.

Although, i suppose if that were true,

You'd be yanking it out of him, wouldn't you?

Doctor rhodes,

They're ready for you in or 2.

Thank you, maggie.

This woman stabbed her husband in the right flank

With a pair of scissors.

Sounds like they could use a marriage counselor.

Mr. Mason,

I'm dr. Halstead.

So, tell me, when did this pain start?

Who let this man in the hospital?

Who let this man become a doctor?

Whoa, gentlemen.

I take it you two kids know each other?

I had the pleasure

Of serving time on a carrier with this man,

Chief petty officer mason.

Choi.

Great to see you, chief.

What are you doing in chicago?

I retired two years ago, and, uh...

Let's catch up after we let the doc here do his thing.

Nothing doing.

You come to chicago med, you get me.

Chart, please.

You're in good hands.

Honor to meet you.

So...

What brings you in here?

I feel like i swallowed a fishhook.

Well, let's take a look.

There you are.

Heard you were back. Hey.

Hey.

How's owen?

He liking that mobile thing i hung up?

Mesmerized. He can't stop staring at it.

Success.

Wasn't the same without you.

I'm glad to be back.

I just hope my son forgives me.

Of course he will.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I'm not that absent.

Oh, no, i didn't--

I didn't mean any--

I'm sorry; i'm exhausted.

I--it's just-- it's our first day apart.

Absolutely. First day.

What's all this?

My 13-year-old's medical history.

Dad keeps a copy of everything in the car just in case.

This is all for a 13-year-old?

Girl presents with bronchospasm.

I get this close to criching her.

The moment her father leaves her side...

she catches her breath.
