Private Practice

And, uh, good luck with your arm.

Ah. (groans)

you okay? No, something-

Oh, it burns. Help him, or he's gonna pull out the neuro connectors.

Mm. Ah.

Ah.

You implanted a bolt in his arm? Osseous integration.

It's the only way to carry the weight. I know what it is. It's also illegal.

In this country. I sent him to sweden. Ah!

Ah! Mm. Okay, it's infected. He's burning up.

We've gotta get him to the hospital.

okay, well, maya's in your office.

She wouldn't even look a in the car on the way over here,

And now you got sam and naomi in the conference room.

Do you want to tell me what's going on? No, I can't, dell. I wish I could, but I can't.

Guys, um, very pregnant woman

Squatting up and down in the hallway? Not mine.

Shs mine. Lynn mcdonald. She's committed to natural childbirth.

She's been in labor for two days.

Her water finally broke last night. Ooh. This isn't working.

Do you have anything spicy in the fridge?

Like maybe-maybe a chimichanga, huh?

That'll speed up the labor, right? Yeah, I'll order you something.

Yeah. Okay, baby, come out.

and come out.

and... Come out.

Well, let's go check out your progress. And come out.

Okay, addison. What's this important case that, uh...

Hey, maya girl. Hey.

What's up? Wait. Did you have a half a day today? No, no, no.

Was I supposed to- no, no, no. I always keep the half days in my calendar.

I keep 'em in my calendar, too. It's not a half day.

Maya has something that she needs to tell you.

I...

Um...

I...

Maya's pregnant.

No, she's not.

How?

When did you start having s-

Wait. No. No, okay. This is-this isn't possible.

We dis dssed this. Discussed birth control.

Your-two doctors.

Both your parents are doctors. How could you be pregnant?

How could this be happening?

What were- what were you thinking?

Hey, where you going? Our daughter just told us

That-that-that she is pregnant.

We need to talk about this. I can't.

Mom- naomi, we are her parents.

I can't.

Naomi walked away.

Our daughter is pregnant, and naomi walked away. I know.

She's in shock. She's dealing with it.I'm suppot

Until she decides that she's ready?

We need to talk to our daughter now.

Sam, this isn't the first time

I've delivered this kind of news.

People need time. Give... Give naomi some time.

Colin, you have a severe infection.

How long has it been hurting?

A month. I thought it was normal pain.

And I was afraid that if it was the bolt,

Then I couldn't keep the arm. Well, dr. Wilder feels the bolt should come out.

No. Can't we do more antibiotics or something? Well, what do you say, dr. Wilder?

You specialize in infectious disease.

You know alternative treatments. What are his options?

There has to be something up your sleeve

Since you have two of them. There are experimental protocols,

But the f.D.A. Hasn't completed safety studies,

And there are reports of severe side effects.

I'm sorry. The bolt is the source of the infection,

And the safest thing to do is remove it

Before the infection spreads.

Before I deployed, I got engaged.

We wrote letters, we planned the whole thing,

Right down to the dance,

Which requires me to dip her to the floor.

Now I'm living up to my part of this.

I'm going to hold her in my arms-both arms-

And I'm going to dance with her the way I promised.

You came back alive. You're healthy and alive.

I know you planned for more, but I cannot treat you

In a way that will jeopardize your health. Dr. Wilder-

Colin, this infection could kill you.

I know that's not what your fiancée wants.

why do they do this?

Why does the hospital keep sending me samples?

It's like "gaslight," but with baby stuff.

"gaslight"? Famous movie?

Never saw it. Ingrid bergman.

Her husband tries to drive her crazy. Uh, when the petermans get here,

Will you put them in exam room three? I'm using exam room three.

Oh, actually room three is for pediatrics.

And I have a 7 year old with a urinary tract infection.

It's-it's about a marriage that ends badly.

"gaslight."

Marsha. Hi. Violet turner.

Uh, here's the situation-

I don't want any more baby stuff.

So no diaper cream samples.

I've-I've called, I've e-mailed,

I've mail-mailed for the past six months,

But the hospital just keeps sending it. Most new mothers appreciate our little freebies.

Well, I am not a new mother. How old is your baby?

That's not what I meant.

I am not a new or an old or any kind of mother.

I don't have a baby anymore.

Oh. Oh, my god.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

They're god's littlest angels,

The ones we lose.

Could you just get the form?

Of course.

I'm sorry, too, for your loss.

Oh, no, no. It's just- I- I was just-

No, no, no. You don't have to explain. I-I get it.

I- I- I lost my wife today.

Oh, my god.

A sentence you never think you're gonna have to say,

You know, "I lost- I lost my wife."

And, uh, every time you say it,

You think you're not gonna be able to breathe,

And it's like-it's like somebody shot you or something.

And then I-and then I hear

That you lost your child- your baby-and it's-

It, like, gives it perspective, you know?

It-it's-it's-it helps me to know you lost your child.

And I know that's a horrible thing to say to you.

Um... My wife's dead, and I've offended you,

And I'm sorry...

For your loss.

No, no. I'm-I'm sorry for your loss.

They gave me this bag with her... Belongings.

It's...

it's funny.

I thought there'd be more to take home.

Do you need...

Can I help you? Is there anything I can do?

Uh, no. No, no. I- I'm just waiting.

A friend's picking me up, so...

Okay.

Well...

It was nice to meet you.

I'm nathan pilsman.

Violet turner.

It's nice to meet you, violet turner.

Well, not nice, but... It's nice.

You can't walk.

You're black. What game are we playing?

The day that you found out...

When they told you that, uh, your legs-

That you would-you would never walk again,

That must have been the worst day of your life.

How did you deal with it?

Why would you assume thateen that was my worst day?Our life.

Losing my legs changed my life,

But, uh, it certainlythateen didn't ruin it.

There's a period of adjustment,

But... You deal with it.

You're full of crap.

Naomi, what-what are you doing here?

Mom, what are you doing?

What's going on?

Naomi, what is going on?

I need you to give maya an abortion. What?

Nai. Mom, no. I don't want an abortion.

I don't care what you want. But, mom-

Give her an abortion.

I can't believe I slapped her.

I hit my child.

You were upset, clearly.

It's not an easy thing to deal with.

I know, I know, but I... Well, I can't-I lost it.

But c-can you believe her?

Can you believe her saying no to me?

What?

You ordered her to have an abortion.

So putting aside the fact that you are personally against it-

You can't make someone have an abortion, nai.

No, no, no. This is-this-this is not up for discussion.

I think it needs to be. Well, you know what? If you're not gonna do it, that's fine.

I will find another doctor who will. Okay, I don't even know who I'm talking to right now.

This is not you. It's the opposite of you.

You-you give people babies,

And whether or not I agree with your stand on this issue,

This isn't you. Don't do something now that you will he yourself for later.

Do you hate yourself for your abortions?

Either of you?

No, I don't hate myself. But I do think about it.

It stays with you even if you do it for the right reasons,

And it is not a casual decision that you can make for maya.

This-this is my family. You do not judge my family!

We're not judging. You know that. Look, this has hit you hard,

And that can make you change what you believe- stop it. Stop it.

stop acting like you understand,

Because you don't.

You don't. This is my child.

This is my child we are talking about, my child...

Who I've done everything in my power to raise and protect.
