The Resident

Previously o n, "The Resident"...

You want Conrad to go down.

Whistleblowers like Hawkins cost hospitals millions.

It's him or you.

If it were easy, everyone would be a doctor

because this is the best job in the world,

despite everything, because of everything.

Cardiac issues can escalate quickly for pregnant women.

Worsening heart failure could kill both you and the baby.

So, guys, hey. These are the doctors

that are gonna be helping Dr. Cain save Mom.

There is only a slim hope

this will buy you more time.

I will do anything to stay with my kids

- as long as I can. - When is she gonna wake up?

Dawn has endured 17 hours of surgery.

Her body is struggling to recover.

She hasn't regained consciousness and as yet,

isn't able to breathe on her own.

- What? - Mina, I think it's happening.

What do you mean it's happening?

- The baby. - It's five weeks early.

- How far apart are your contractions? - Hang on a sec.

20 minutes maybe.

I think some are coming sooner.

I think they're getting stronger.

Use the app. It's important to log each one.

- Did your water break? - N-No.

- Where are you? -I'm at Peachtree and 4th.

It's a big sale. First come, first serve. I need a crib.

- I'm in line. -Sit down immediately.

- Yes, Doctor. - Okay, I'm on my way.

I'm taking you to Chastain.

Okay. Okay.

- Hey, what's up? - Adaku is in labor,

and in line at a box store, if you can believe it.

- I'm gonna get her right now. -She's five weeks early.

Yeah. So to be safe, I'm taking her to the ER.

Well, of course. With her heart condition, she needs

- to be monitored. - Obviously, I will not make lunch today.

- What was that? - Um,

I, uh, almost hit a car. All good.

Okay. I'm coming to meet you both at the ER.

- Uh, no. - It's your day off. Enjoy your...

yoga.

On a scale from one to ten, your stress level

sounds like a 12. Emotional support is required,

and that happens to be my superpower,

so I will see you at the hospital.

Now turn off your phone and slow down.

I will. I promise.

And we're done here.

Dr. Voss, the hip is all yours.

He's bradying down.

Coleman, push two grams of mannitol and open up the drain.

His brain is swelling again.

What's your issue, Dr. Voss?

He had advanced dementia even before he fell.

Uh, he's 89.

Yes, I've had the pleasure of reading his chart.

Your point?

His ICP's increasing. He's gonna herniate.

There's no way this is gonna end well.

Given his physical and mental status

before surgery and this complication,

he'll have zero quality of life, if you could even call it life.

Are you suggesting we let him die?

He'll be a body in a bed. A vegetable.

It's the compassionate choice at this point.

I'm gonna say this once and never again.

Nobody...

and I mean nobody... Dies in my OR!

Coleman, proceed.

Pushing two grams of mannitol and opening the drain.

So, the son is expecting an update.

Why don't you go out there and talk to him,

tell him the surgery went well.

Tell him his father is stable and in the ICU.

Remember to smile.

It shows you take pleasure when delivering good news.

Understood?

Last day as an intern for Dr. Devon Pravesh.

Yeah!

- My, how time flies. - Seriously?

Thank you.

That felt like the longest year in history.

12 more hours, you'll be free of me.

I will never escape you

since you're going to be chief resident.

Oh, yeah.

- Good point. - As a second-year resident

with interns of your own, you'll need to up your wardrobe game.

I could definitely see him in a bow tie.

Oh, yeah, I've already got three picked out for him.

- What? No. No. - Nic leans towards laid,

but I think he's more

- of a polka dot kind of guy. - Oh... Uh...

Batman, Robin, you're needed in Bay Two.

Hello. I'm Dr. Hawkins, Dr. Pravesh.

- Hi. - Now, can you tell us what happened?

Uh, I, um, I think Tyler took a bunch of these...

I'm not sure how many... And a few sleeping pills.

Okay. Sleeping pills.

I... it-it's not what you think.

H-He's been having trouble sleeping

and lots of pain from sports injuries.

I think he took too much acetaminophen by mistake.

Okay. Thank you.

We will let you know as soon as we have an update,

- okay? - Nurse Hundley?

Would you mind taking Tyler's mom outside

- where she can wait, please? - Sure.

- Excuse me. - Come on.

Vitals are stable.

Pulse 80s, BP 120/70.

- Satting 100% on room air. - Tyler.

Tyler, can you hear me?

- Where's my mom at? - She's here. We got you.

I'll order a set of labs with an acetaminophen and aspirin level.

- Don't forget... - Coags.

- I know. - We'll add a liter of saline.

Labs could be hours and we have a high index of suspicion.

- Let's start him on NAC. - Hmm. Hey.

I think it, he says it.

It's like I taught him everything he knows.

Hey. I was also involved.

- Eh. - Okay, guys.

Chill out.

Katie and I cooked dinner yesterday.

Tim cleaned. Well...

He sort of cleaned.

We always have to wash his dishes twice.

I miss you.

I bet your mother loves hearing about your day.

Do you really think so, Dr. Cain?

She never squeezes my hand or makes any sign

that she even knows I'm here.

Well, I have some good news.

Your mother is ready to leave the ICU

and go to a great rehab facility.

Rehab? She, she doesn't even move.

Hmm? Give her some time. Don't count her out.

Your mother is a fighter.

She survived the Mother of All Surgeries.

She's being transferred today.

Just let her settle into her new home

and then you can go visit her.

And, Malia, don't give up before the miracle.

Okay?

Where are you taking this patient?

Long-term acute care facility.

- On whose orders? - Dr. Cain, at the family's request.

Adaku?

So, this is your baby's birthday.

So excited. Scared and excited.

Where is her OB?

I texted her to meet us half an hour ago.

Dr. Lin has a patient but will be here soon.

Put her in Trauma Bay 11.

How is that good enough?

I'm going to call the OB chief and complain.

Dr. Lin is the OB chief, Mina.

That's why you chose her. Remember?

Breathe.

I'm not having a contraction.

He means me.

- Mina, darling. One minute. - What? Do you have pain?

- Is your heart racing? - I'm fine.

Soon we will meet my baby, the child I've wanted my whole life.

And you'll be her godmother.

You are my dearest friend.

I've known you half my life.

It's time for us to be happy. Together.

Okay.

Got a new one for the vent farm.

- From Chastain. Dr. Cain's patient. - Another?

We won't have a room ready for her

- until later today. - Got to put her somewhere.

She can't go back to the hospital. Doctor's orders.

Okay. Stash her there with the others who are waiting.

How you doing, Tyler?

Uh, I'm-I'm better. Thanks.

Do you want to tell us what happened?

Sophomore year, I was tackling a fullback.

He was a big guy and I... dislocated my elbow.

Painful.

Yeah, and... junior year, I lost sight of the quarterback.

- Got blindsided. - Did you get this bruise

playing football?

Uh, that one, I don't know.

I'm not sure.

When's your next game?

For me?

Never, 'cause I got cut.

And then Tilly, my girlfriend,

she broke up with me the next day, so...

Did that happen today?

Tilly was yesterday and...

team was the day before.

Um...
