- I believe it was cicero who said:

"in nothing do men more nearly approach the gods

than in giving health to men."

it's so humbling, the responsibility.

What's with the camera?

- They're shooting... Both: The promo today.

Yup.

A star is born.

- Maggie? - Yeah.

This is jason dodd. 26.

Heart's racing pretty good.

- Dr. Halstead, you're up. April!

- He was lugging the crib out of ikea and he just collapsed.

- All right, you'll go to treatment 2.

- Hi, jason. I'm dr. Halstead.

How are you feeling?

Kind of freaked out.

- All right, we're gonna take good care of you.

He's really tachy. Might be svt.

Copy.

- Okay, we're gonna have you lie down, okay?

- Ready six milligrams of adenosine

and get him up on the monitors.

Got it.

Jason, you on any medications?

- No. - Any history

we should be aware of? - No.

- All right, jason. I don't need to tell you

that your heart is racing.

What we're gonna do is give you a drug

to reset your rhythm.

Reset?

- Your heart, it's gonna pause for a few seconds.

Wait a minute, what?

It'll be all right.

- Let's give the doctors some room.

Get a flush, 10ccs.

- uh, hold up. What's with the monitors, April?

It's upside down. Leads must be reversed.

No...

They're fine.

Just breathe, jason.

This is strange.

It's like everything's on the wrong side.

Let's get a chest x-ray.

- What appears to be the problem here?

- There appears to be some irregularities

with the patient's heart.

What kind of irregularities?

- It's not where it's supposed to be.

- Basic anatomy is usually covered

in the first year of med school, dr. Halstead.

- I think he might be dextrocardic.

I'm about to get a chest x-ray.

Let's wait on that.

Push the meds.

- Mm-hmm. - Uh, listen up, people.

We're tight on space, so...

If you're not doing anything useful,

just take a giant step back.

heart rate's 120.

Bp's ticking up... 100 over 87.

What just happened?

We just saved your life.

Let's get that picture now.

And, uh, page ct.

I guess cicero knew what he was talking about after all.

Why's this backwards?

It's not.

He's got situs inversus totalis.

All his major visceral organs...

- are reversed from their normal position inside of his body.

- More like a mirror image, but yeah.

So wild.

How often do you see someone with this?

Both: Never.

- Jason, becca... This is dr. Rhodes.

- Hi, I'm down from cardiothoracic surgery.

I'm gonna accompany you over to run some tests.

See if we can't figure out what caused your heart rate to spike.

Okay.

- Shame he wouldn't sign the release.

I wanted to shoot the scan room in action.

- That's the thing about the e.D.

Another story's just a heartbeat away.

- Can you say that again on camera?

Yes, that'll be better.

- Ms. Goodwin, if you have a second...

- you know, dr. Halstead, there was a meeting last week,

uh, open to anyone who had concerns about the video.

I don't recall seeing you there.

I was not there, but...

dr. Stohl has assured me

that the camera won't get in the way

of us treating our patients,

if that's your worry.

That's one of them, yeah.

- I'm gonna tell you, I'm proud of this e.D.

I've assembled the finest staff in the city,

and if even one patient decides to come here

because they saw this video on our website,

then I think it's well worth it.

Don't you?

Dr. Halstead?

Come round with me.

Carry on.

- Not the most cooperative intake ever.

The woman in treatment 6?

Yeah, laura green.

Age 39.

Mvc.

5 cm laceration on her left upper forehead.

Gs 15, no loc. Vitals stable.

Um... Blood and personality,

both type a.

I'll take it from here.

Thank you, jeff. - Sure.

- So it's really over between you two?

Uh-huh, why?

Just impressed.

Personally, I could never work alongside an ex.

Too much boil and bubble.

Jeff and I were good friends

before anything happened between us.

Guess it makes it easier to find that equilibrium again.

Good for you.

no, no, no.

We're not waiving the contingencies, no.

Oh... let me call you right back.

I got another doctor in here.

- Hi, ms. Green. I'm dr. Manning.

Can you tell me what happened?

I hit a patch of black ice.

Driving too fast.

My daughter had another meltdown at school.

Got pulled out of a meeting to go pick her up...

Again.

Hello, what's your name?

- Ariel. A girl who has zero appreciation

for what it's like to be in her mother's shoes.

No wonder I have an ulcer. - An ulcer?

Nothing tums can't manage.

Look, can we make this quick?

I am super deep in the weeds today.

- Sure. Let me take a look.

Sorry.

Ow.

Okay.

You okay, ariel?

Did you get hurt in the crash, too?

- She's been complaining like this for months.

I've taken her to every gi specialist in the city

at considerable expense.

No one could find anything wrong with her.

- It's not my stomach this time, mom,

it's my head. It's throbbing.

And now she's got a headache.

I think she's trying to imitate me.

Some juvenile attempt to mock her mother.

Okay, uh, laura.

I would like plastics to come down and sew you up

so you get the best cosmetic result, okay?

- But I-I really do have to get back to work.

- I will try my best to expedite things,

but since you're already here,

perhaps I can take a look at your daughter?

- Yeah... Yeah, that's fine.

Okay.

- C.J.? Sorry. Where were we?

I'm not just making this up.

Oh, I get it.

You're creating a vacuum.

I... I read about this somewhere. I, uh...

I don't know, I'm...

I really felt compelled to say something.

- Remind me again why you're here, sarah.

- Uh, dr. Charles said undergoing therapy

would help me become a better psychiatrist.

And thus far, I'd have to say he's right.

I'm learning so much.

- I hate to break this to you, sarah,

but what you're doing here now

is not undergoing therapy.

It's not?

- It feels more like you're auditing a class.

Come here.

Come on.

Look.

What do you see?

Um...

- Do you feel self-conscious?

- A little. - Good.

Self-conscious is what we're going for.

You know what makes you better at this job?

Being present.

Being honest.

Especially with yourself.

Try it.

First thought, best thought.

Um...
