Code Black

This is Squad 15, time 0700, going off-shift.

Copy that, Squad 15. Have a good morning.

Frying pan? Frying pan.

Salt. Salt.

And... Pepper. I'm way ahead of you.

You're using the wrong knife.

And you know this how? Your days as a Ginsu sales rep?

I know this because everybody knows you use a serrated knife

to cut tomatoes.

Handle first.

Good morning. Morning.

Morning. Hey, I thought you were playing golf.

Not today. Just got off a shift.

You hungry? I'll take a chance.

How old is that bathrobe?

Older than you. Older than you.

Cute. How do you like your eggs?

Dealer's choice.

Dr. Rorish was looking for you.

What? I'm only, like, five minutes late.

I was looking at apartments.

Ah.

I know. I wasn't ready to move in with you,

and now I'm getting evicted by my friend

because her boyfriend's moving in with her.

Karma. That's what you're thinking, right?

Really wasn't thinking anything.

This is really good. You like it, Dad?

I finished it, didn't I?

I read a terrible thing on the Facebook last night.

I'm not on "the Facebook""

About Brooks. You remember him?

He's dead. He's dead?

No details except about the funeral

in some city called Chino.

When's the funeral? Today.

Oh, well, we have to go. I'm not.

Dad, he was in Robert's unit. We weren't invited.

Thank you for the breakfast. We are both military.

We will go and show our respects. I don't wanna get into this.

His family came to Robert's funeral. How would you even get us there?

We're going. We don't have a car.

I do.

I can drive.

So you are going to this dance?

Are you sure he's up to it?

Last week was a tough week for him.

Mom, Max has bronchospasms.

He's been dealing with it for years.

Okay. How'd you get him to change his mind?

I told him someone else asked me.

Doesn't matter how old you are, women got the same tricks.

Dr. Kean. Incoming, please. Let's go.

What do you got? 35-year-old male cycling accident.

Multiple injuries, vitals stable.

Okay, what do you got here?

30-year-old female, same cycling accident.

Obvious ankle deformities, stable vitals.

Hi, I'm Dr. Rorish.

This is Dr. Kean over here.

Can you tell us what happened? I-I got dizzy...

Okay. And I lost control of my bike

and swerved into my husband, Ed, and we both went down.

Ed, can you hear me? Dr. Rorish, he's altered.

Okay, center stage, please.

"Altered"? What does that mean? Hey, hey, listen, calm down, okay?

We're gonna take care of you guys. I'm such an idiot.

"Let's bike uphill in Griffith Park.

It'll be great exercise." Probably was.

Okay, let's get her to... Stay calm, Max.

Got another one over here. It's gonna be okay.

Do something, do something!

Leanne? Leanne!

Do something.

Leanne! Looks like he has a history of pulmonary...

Pulmonary adenocarcinoma in sit...

What happened, Owen?

We were watching TV, and he couldn't breathe.

O2 sat at 82 with a nonrebreather.

The oxygen. It wasn't working.

I'm right here, son. I'm right here. It's okay.

He's going in with us, Max, okay? We've got him.

Get him in, get him in. All right, incoming.

Everybody ready? On my count.

One, two, three. Watch his head. Got it?

We got you, Max. Okay.

We got you. Don't... no, no.

No, no, don't, don't. You don't need to do that.

I need to examine you thoroughly.

No one wants to see what's under there. Trust me.

They'll all go blind. Kathy, we're doctors.

Dr. Campbell?

Is he gonna be okay? What do we got?

He can't breathe. Severely dilated RV

with wall hypokinesis.

Massive pulmonary embolism. Fits the presentation.

Sudden onset shortness of breath,

tachycardia, hypoxia, and active cancer.

He's had clots in his legs before, but never in his lungs.

He needs TPA. How long has he been on the transplant list?

Over a year. Is he still on anticoagulation?

We just stopped three months ago.

The blood clot is causing massive strain to his heart

and to his lungs. We need to administer a clot buster...

I know what TPA is. Do whatever it takes.

Okay, all right. Let's go. Just relax, Max. We got you. Going in.

All right, Max.

Give it a few more minutes for the medicine to work, okay?

Intubation kit just in case. There you go.

Obvious knee deformity. What do I got here?

Trace pericardial effusion and otherwise negative FAST.

Hey, we gotta get him upstairs for a CT right now.

What's going on? My leg hurts. Ed?

Aah! I'm so sorry. I...

You dislocated your knee, Ed.

We can give you pain meds and wait for them to kick in,

or I can just snap it back in place and the pain will go away.

Great. Just do it.

Okay. One, two...

Aah! Okay. Let's get 'em both upstairs.

All right, let's go. We're waiting on that BiPap.

Hey, Jesse, you guys need a hand?

No, we got it covered. O2 sats still 82. No change.

Okay. Okay, BiPap's on your left. Come on.

We're gonna put a mask on you, all right, buddy?

Ready?

Max, calm down. I'm right here. Dad!

Let's get him to breathe. Respiratory's at 44.

What's going on? Where is my BiPap?

Oh, my God. He's maxed out all of his oxygen.

BiPap's on your left.

Daddy?

Ariel? Ariel, get outta here now!

I want you to leave now!

BP's dropping, guys. Come on.

Give me the BiPap. Daddy?

Come over here. Hold his hand. Breathe, Max, breathe.

It's okay. It's okay.

Sats at 70. Come on, Max.

It's okay.

I need you to breathe. Easy, easy. Take it easy.

Come on, Max. Going to respiratory failure.

Just relax, Max. Just relax.

Big breath. Okay. Let's try one more time. Ready?

One, two, three. Come on, come on, come on.

There we go. Thattaboy.

Oh, boy. Okay. One more time. All right, he's holding it.

Breathe, son. Breathe. And...

That's it. Thattaboy.

90% saturation's improving. Good job, Max. Good job.

Let's get your son to sides. Good job, Max.

Is he gonna be okay?

Your son is in critical condition, but he's stable.

We have to see if the TPA mitigates the blood clot.

There you go. Good news is, if he survives this,

he'll be bumped to the top of the transplant list.

Ariel.

I am so sorry I yelled at you.

Okay? I just didn't want you to see Max like that.

It's cool.

Oh, honey. Do you want to talk about it?

No, it's fine. I mean, truth is, I barely even know him so...

Ariel...

I have to work right now. Okay?

Okay.

Not great news.

X-ray shows your ankle's broken. Broken, broken?

Like I'm gonna need a cast?

Yes, like a cast and crutches and no strenuous activity.

Oh, God. Really? What am I gonna do now?

You're gonna relax is what you're gonna do.

Yeah, that's easy for you to say.

I mean, look at him. He looks amazing, right?

She's been working out a lot. She's trying to lose...

Yeah, I already lost 6 pounds. I'm on a meal plan.

1,800 calories a day. Keep doing that, but you need to heal.

Then you can start thinking about exercise.

CT just opened up. I need to take you upstairs.

Why? What's wrong with him? Did he break something, too?

Just to be safe. He had a bad fall.

I'm gonna be fine, Kathy. Stay positive.

I'm just trying to make him happy.

He's not anymore.

I mean, he married a size 6. Now look at me.

And what's the standard of care for suspicion

of significant head trauma in an emergent setting?

Vital signs, a physical exam, and a CT scan.

But for Detective Gomez,

no such scan was ordered until it was too late, right?

The patient declined treatment.

Detective Gomez wasn't of sound mind.

Well, by my estimation, he was.

By your estimation. Yes.

Have you ever made a mistake, Dr. Dixon,

in a professional setting?

A mistake?

Yeah, of course I've made a mistake. I'm human.

Haven't you? I'm not being deposed, Dr. Dixon. You are.

Tell us about all the mistakes you've made.

Don't spare any details.
