Saving Hope

Mm.

Hey, I was just dreaming about you.

Mmm.

Was I wearing pants?

Are you wearing them now?

Hey, I need you to talk me out of something.

Charlie, what are you doing?

Charles Mingus live album.

Ultra-rare early pressing.

Auction ends in... Eight minutes,

and I'm about to make an outrageous bid.

Mm, of course you are. Listen, I had to... come in.

- Hey. - What's up?

Rare Mingus. This is an emergency.

Sorry, Alex. We need you now.

Okay, I've got an emergency of my own.

Gotta go. Love you.

B.P. Still falling fast.

He's day zero post-op. This isn't good.

He's in shock. Get Reycraft back here.

I called him twice already. He's not picking up.

- Try him again. - He's burning up.

Start antibiotics. Norepinephrine.

20 micrograms per minute.

Damn. We lost his pulse.

Get me a crash cart.

Come on, Travis. Stay with me here.

Still in v-fib. No pulse.

- Mel! - I'm here.

I could really use those paddles right now.

Here. Okay. Clear!

Again. Clear!

I gotta try.

Come on, Travis. One, two...

Saving Hope 02x06 All Things Must Pass

You do know that technically, I'm still your doctor, right?

Oh, mnh-mnh. You should check your e-mail,

because I fired your fine ass last night.

You did what?

Mm-hmm. Don't worry. I'm... I'm recommending you on yelp.

Okay. Well, I demand at least four stars, okay?

Mm. Um, I'll say that you have a good bedside manner.

And my feminine hands. Don't forget to mention those.

- Right. But firm when required. - Yeah.

You know, a girl could get used to playing doctor

with an actual doctor.

Mm.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- Fun time's over. - Duty calls.

Oh. It's gonna be one hell of a day.

I got subpoenaed to appear at a custody hearing,

and I inherited my co-worker's intake files

while she's on vacation, and...

And then Ryan's got a soccer game.

You know, you're welcome to come if you want.

You could meet me there.

Unless, of course, you've got better things to do.

Although, you know, I can't imagine what would be better.

Say what?

- Just Ryan's soccer game. - Oh.

Or will you be too busy, you know, saving the world?

No. I'm... I'm sorry.

I, uh, I'm stuck in a board meeting today.

I'm trying to talk medicine with a bunch of bean counters.

Mm. That's frustrating.

It is. And I've got M & M rounds today.

- It's, uh... - Okay.

I hate to miss it. Sorry.

But can I call you later?

Mm...

I might answer.

You might? If you're lucky.

Oh. If I'm extremely lucky.

Bye.

All right. We're talking about a man named Travis Bain,

31-year-old who presented with, um...

Actually, he didn't really present with anything at first.

As of yesterday, I would say

we all thought he was... healthy.

What's the big deal?

I used to do that back in high school phys ed.

Probably didn't look that good doing it.

No, you're right.

Of course, I had my hair pulled back in a ponytail,

smoking a joint, so... impressed?

Well, I'd buy that calendar, too.

Hey. I see Mr. April and I see Mr. June,

but I don't see Mr. May.

Oh, my.

It's always may in my house.

- Hey, guys. - Hey, lady.

No calendar?

Mm, my type's a little more camera-shy.

Whoa. May is hotter than I remember.

Mm-hmm. But a no-show, Alex.

Even my fantasies stand me up these days.

No. Today is your lucky day. There he is.

Mr. May! Over here!

Alex, what are you doing?

I'm getting you an autograph.

Did everyone give blood?

Not yet,

but my friend here would love an autograph.

Oh, sure. Uh, what's your name?

It's Dr. Hamza.

His name's Shahir.

Sure. Sure.

Uh, makes me kind of nervous, writing in front of doctors.

Don't want to come off dumb.

Here. Is that okay?

Yes. That is perfect. Thank you.

Great.

Uh, excuse me. I gotta go climb a rope.

Part of the whole embarrassing fireman thing.

When Travis Bain walked into our hospital

at 11:00 yesterday morning, he was a fit, healthy man.

Many of us treated him...

myself included.

By midnight, he was dead.

So the purpose of today's morbidity and mortality rounds

is to figure out how it happened.

How did we lose this patient?

So how go the M & Ms?

Well, no one's crying. Yet.

What have we got here?

Meet Allison Davis,

proof positive that yoga is dangerous.

I'm such a klutz.

I was at a sunrise class. We greet the day with yoga.

Trying to do one of those headstands

where you support yourself with your elbows.

Ah. The dreaded Salamba Sirsasana. Yeah.

What? I'm studying the tantra.

Learning to go beyond the valley of the twin water chestnuts.

Mm. And I can't un-know that.

So, Allison, you keeled over, and, uh...

Somehow landed with my ankle under my body.

Okay.

Um, how's your pain, from one to five?

Zero.

That's why I wanted you.

Isn't no pain a good thing?

Well, it can be.

Ooh.

Not in this case. Allison, you have a fracture dislocation.

Uh, skin is blanched around the ankle.

There's no pulse in the dorsalis pedis.

And none in the posterior tibial, either.

How long has she been waiting?

Um, between the ambulance and me, maybe two hours

okay.

Um, Allison, here's the thing...

You've kinked the blood vessels in your foot.

That's why it's numb?

That's why you're not feeling any pain.

Sounds more serious than a twisted ankle.

Yeah. Give her 75 milligrams of pethidine.

Um, we're gonna have to reduce that ankle back into place,

and I hate to say this, but it is going to hurt.

Is there anybody you would like us to call?

Husband? Boyfriend?

No.

Uh, sorry.

I didn't mean to jump down your throat.

It's a bit of a sensitive issue.

Breakups are the worst. I get it.

This is gonna pinch a little bit, okay?

Actually, I'm a novitiate at St. Anne's.

Oh. That's a... heck of a commitment.

Yeah.

I'm supposed to take my vows tomorrow.

Congratulations.

That's why you don't want anyone to know you're here?

Church is against yoga?

No, it's not the church. It's our bishop.

He's got a bug up his...

Well, he's pretty doctrinaire about it.

Wait, what's wrong with yoga?

It began as a hindu spiritual practice.

Okay.

Well, I like the sound of "Sister Allison"...

So I think we can keep your little secret.

Namaste, sister.

Travis Bain. 31-year-old man. Firefighter.

Loosen up.

What?

Loosen up, reid.

M & Ms are the only place that we have

to speak freely about the mistakes we make.

Mm-hmm. She's right.

We need to know what we did wrong

so we don't do it again.

So... what did you do wrong?

Okay.

The patient presented with severe abdominal pain

in the upper-right quadrant.

It started with a stomachache.

He looks great, doesn't he?

You a big fan?

Number one. He's my husband.
