Chicago Med

.

We found a mass.

It's a cancer of the soft tissue

called a synovial sarcoma.

Carmen and I used to go together.

- You cheated on her. - It's gonna be okay.

I can't--

Terrell, Terrell, Terrell!

- I booked a flight to Detroit tonight

to go finalize my divorce.

Wish me luck.

- Who's hitting you up at this hour?

It's your mom, actually.

- Dinner, then my place? - Not tonight.

- Picking up a vibe of not any night.

- Could I ask you to take me home?

Absolutely.

- Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up.

Hey.

Okay, I did, actually.

Here.

Oh, thank you.

- You know, you really didn't need to sleep over.

- Oh, well, I don't know if this rings a bell,

but you were poisoned with carfentanil yesterday.

Yeah, your sats could have dipped overnight, so cheers.

- You made me wear a pulse ox to bed.

I'm pretty the alarms would have woken me up.

- Yeah, well, people have been known to sleep through alarms.

Oh. Okay.

- So what's on tap today? Taking it easy, I hope.

- Yeah, I'm catching up on some journal articles

that I agreed to peer review ages ago,

and prepping my expert testimony for a med mal case.

Ah.

Hard being a luminary in the field, huh?

- Well, stick with me, maybe you'll find out.

- Lonnie! - Daniel.

Sorry, do we have a session this morning?

- No, no, no, I'm just here for a cleaning with Dr. Dennis,

you know, and my semi-annual flossing lecture.

Yeah. I know.

I see Dr. Dennis too, so I am familiar.

Better get inside. It's cold.

- You know what, I'm actually really glad I ran into you.

I've left a couple messages on your answering service.

You know, I'd love to get back on the schedule.

Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

My assistant is out on maternity leave,

and I've been struggling to keep up.

I totally get it.

Anyway, if you're doing in-person again,

I mean, is my 5:30 Thursday-- is that still available?

- Um, right. Well, here's the thing.

I'm cutting back on my hours as I look towards retirement,

and I'm trying to lighten my patient load, you know, so.

But I've already got several excellent referrals

lined up for you.

Wait, what?

- You know, working with a new therapist

can be a really good thing.

Shake things up a bit.

- So you do think that-- that I've been--

I've been treading water?

- No, no, no, not at all. Look, I have an 8:00.

I'm gonna email you those referrals.

And you have my number.

You can call me if you need anything.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Oh, I appreciate you staying with him.

I always like somebody there when he wakes up, you know?

- Oh, yeah, yeah, of course. - Yeah.

Get your errands done?

Yeah. Yeah.

Any word from Terrell?

No.

- I'm really sorry, Carmen. You don't deserve this.

- You really want to speak on what I deserve from my man?

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

It's not my place.

- Yeah. - Mom?

Yes. Uh-huh?

Can I have some water?

- Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there, baby, okay?

I gotta--I should--I should--

- Of course. - Okay, thank you, though.

All right.

Somebody's thirsty? Huh?

Here you go.

Need some help over here!

- Thanks, Leah. We got it. Doris?

Uh, take Baghdad.

- All right, follow me. We're going in here.

- What happened, bud? - Right here.

- I looked over and I saw Pete here was having, like,

some kind of, like, spasm?

He was jerking all around.

He was holding his circular saw,

and he-he sliced his thigh.

There you go, nice and easy.

All right, let's get a line. Get 4 of morphine.

Also, draw a lab, CBC and BMP to start, please.

- Normal breath sounds. - Good.

- Do you have a history of seizures?

- You, uh, you mind stepping out to the waiting area?

These rooms get crowded pretty fast.

- Yeah, yeah. No, no, no problem.

- We'll come by shortly with an update.

- Sure. Thanks, doc. - Yeah, you got it.

Okay, go ahead, bud.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy about three years ago.

Nobody at my work knows.

Okay.

- Are you on any anti-epileptic drugs?

Yes, the generic stuff,

but the side effects are a bitch.

Pardon my French, but I just don't think

they're doing anything for me. I keep having the seizures.

- Well, we definitely want to figure out

why your meds aren't working.

But first, why don't we get this leg cleaned out

and stitched up. Sound like the right order?

Yeah.

Can I get somebody tell my buddy I'm gonna be awhile?

Tell him to get back to the job site.

My boss will blow a gasket he's down two guys all day.

Yeah. Sure thing.

.

- Hey. - Hey.

- So, uh, how'd it go within your ex?

- Oh, uh, yeah, it went well, actually.

- Well, guess you were right. Face-to-face was the way to go.

Yeah. Definitely.

- It feels like we should mark the occasion.

Let me take you to Molly's for a drink tonight.

Listen, last night,

things didn't go exactly as I anticipated.

Is that your wedding ring?

So you went to Grosse Pointe to end your marriage,

and you came back with your wedding ring on.

- Andrew and I talked all night.

It was the most honest conversation we've had.

He brought up the idea of giving it one last try.

Mm.

You think I'm being naive.

- I've just never seen the whole

breakup-to-makeup thing work.

But hey, what do I know?

- Good point. Serial monogamist, pushing 40.

Ouch.

Okay, I'm still several degrees south of 40,

thank you very much.

You know, good luck with the long distance.

It's famously known to go well.

- Well, it may only be temporary.

The chief of ED at Andrews Hospital,

my old hospital, is retiring next month.

Andrew wants to put me up for the job.

Wow.

When in the evening did the job offer come up?

- It's not an offer. He just wants to recommend me.

- Prospect of a job. Did it happen before

or after you agreed to give the marriage another go?

- Feels like you're suggesting I was manipulated,

bought in some way.

- I'm not. - Good.

- Going to Treatment 5. What do we got?

- Emily Torres, 31-year-old female, 37 weeks pregnant.

Spilled boiling water on her abdomen

while removing a pot from the stove.

- Please tell me the baby's gonna be okay,

that I didn't hurt her. - Honey, you didn't.

I googled it. This happens more than you think.

I'm not usually such a klutz.

You know, I've just been in this fog lately,

and I got this cold I can't shake.

- She is running a slight fever, 100.5.

Okay. On me.

One, two, three.

All right. Let's see.

Ooh.

Think I'm gonna have to agree with Dr. Google on this one.

But I'll bring in our resident burn expert

to take a look, okay?

Trini, can you see if Dr. Arch is available, please?

You got it.

Okay.

Lean up a little bit for me, okay?

Careful.

Okay. Lungs are clear.

How long have you had this cold?

- Couple of weeks, I think. - Yeah, she woke up, like,

two weeks ago with a sore throat.

- Hello, there. I'm Dr. Archer. Let's see what we got.

Okay.

Okay, about 4% TBSA.

Superficial, partial thickness. Wash and dress.

Okay.

All right, you've got skin-level burns.

No associated blunt force trauma.
