The Good Doctor

Martin.

Come on, we're on.

How do you get by with so little sleep?

I don't know. Ambition, good diet.

Constant self-medication.

Time you got a new bag?

I got this from a friend of the family.

- It used to be his. - Oh, well, in that case...

I kinda like it.

You going to that thing for the new residents?

I don't know.

Carson's daughter's gonna be there.

- Who's Carson? - Radiology.

Supposedly his daughter's a real peach.

Come on, Martin,

time to start looking for that trophy wife.

Bring the bag.

Woman on P.A.: Dr. Levy, 4152.

Dr. Levy, 4152.

How are you, Mr...

Sanchez?

No hablo ingles.

Oh.

- No hablo espanol. - Doctor.

Excuse me one... one moment.

Por favor, Doctor.

Dr. Page? Do you speak Spanish?

No.

Can you cough?

- ( coughs ) - Thank you.

Okay, you need a lot of rest.

Rest. Sleep.

- You need to rest. - ( speaks Spanish )

Yes, that's what you need, okay?

The barium pictures were negative.

Why the D-xylose absorption series?

I felt I should rule out Zollinger-Ellison syndrome,

Whipple's disease, and celiac.

I say mild peptic ulcer.

I mean, possible chronic reflux.

Look, smokes, drinks,

filed for divorce.

I didn't know about the divorce.

Did you talk to her?

Not about stuff like that.

We're not fishing for syndromes here, folks.

Communication is key.

- Dr. Waylans. - Yes?

Ah, Martin Blake.

Things going okay?

Yeah. I was wondering,

you did the infectious diseases fellowship?

Yeah.

Well, I'm applying. Do you have any advice?

You're only six days into residency.

You can't even apply till next year.

I just want to be prepared.

Oh. Well, it's not much.

You know, a good candidate is just a good doctor.

Right.

You do know the secret to being a good doctor,

don't you, Martin?

You act like one.

I do, I think.

Well, then, you're fine.

- Dr. Waylans? - Yes, Martin?

Is it possible to get our lD picture retaken?

I have no idea.

Excuse me, what does that say?

Penicillin.

Excuse me, when will the doctor be here?

I am the doctor.

Okay, that's it for now.

Nurse? I'll need labs drawn.

You're gonna have to do it yourself. We're swamped.

You know how, right?

Yes. Of course. Thank you.

Is that okay?

Sorry. A phlebotomist is supposed to do this.

- A what? - It's who draws the blood.

Doctors aren't supposed to have to do this.

There you go.

Okay.

- ( jazz music playing ) - ( people chatting )

There you are.

I'm so sorry, I thought you were someone else.

Who did you think I was?

I see you've met my esteemed colleague.

I did.

For a minute, I thought he was you.

There's only one of me. That's the rule.

This is Martin. Martin, this is Christine.

- Hello. - Dr. Carson's daughter.

So back to you being such a big nerd in high school.

- The biggest. - Really?

Yup. And then one day I realized

I was gonna die a virgin.

That thought can come as quite a shock to a young man.

Nurse: Don't you have some other rooms to attend to?

Man: Let's just be a couple dirty Mexicans and make it happen.

Make what happen?

How 'bout I just talk to you?

Let's make ourselves useful.

- Jimmy, come on. - Yo.

- Morning, Doc. - ( taps )

Hi. How you feeling?

Bad.

What's wrong with me again?

Pyelonephritis.

It's a UTl of the upper tract and kidney.

Pie-lo-na-fry-tis.

Like that?

Pyelonephritis. Mm-hmm.

Sit up.

Okay.

- Are you sore there? - Yeah.

- Here? - Yeah.

Pyelonephritis.

Can you die from that?

Maybe, if you never took care of it.

But that's what us doctors are here for.

I thought you guys just played golf.

I don't know how to play golf.

I thought all doctors played golf.

I'm gonna learn.

Oh, hello, doctor.

Doctor, nice to see you again.

Mrs. Nixon: How's she doing?

Good. Responding to antibiotics.

I could've died, right?

I was just saying it can be serious.

But it's completely under control.

So you mean, like, if this were before hospitals, she'd be dead?

I didn't say that.

Val: It's amazing knowing how to save people like that.

I bet you even know the name of this.

Philtrum.

See? I told you he'd know it.

Hi.

- Oh, hi, Rich. - Hey, Mrs. Nixon. Val.

This is my doctor. He said I could have died.

- Dr. Blake. - Hey.

So how's it going?

Okay.

Rich: You able to walk or...

I'll look in again later on.

Rich: You got, like, some kind of infection?

This says penicillin, right?

- Yeah. - Come with me, please.

Mr. Sanchez is allergic to penicillin.

Well, it didn't say so on the...

This isn't the original admit sheet. Where's the original?

I don't know what you're talking about.

On the original sheet, it said NKA, no known allergies.

- Well, did you ask him? - He doesn't speak English.

If you knew he was allergic, why'd you give him penicillin?

Because you're the doctor. I only do what you say.

Okay, let's get a Benadryl line...

Already took care of it. Thank you.

- Where are you going? - To file an incident report.

A what? Why?

This is an incident. It's procedure.

And can you rewrite this legibly?

What are you doing?

I'm looking for the original admit sheet.

I'm sorry, Doctor, but whatever it is you're looking for,

you're not gonna find it there.

Here you go, T. Little present for you.

Marty!

This seat taken?

Look, right, right, right. Right here, look, look, look, look.

Hey, Nancy, you want to sit down, right here?

So that's a no?

Have a good weekend.

Excuse me.

- Excuse me a second. - Yeah, no problem.

Dr. Waylans, could I talk to you for a second?

Sure.

I just wanted to ask you about incident reports.

Is this about the Sanchez thing?

I wouldn't worry about it.

But does it go on my record? I mean, is it bad?

I don't think so. I mean, it's not good.

Will it affect my application

for the infectious diseases fellowship?

I can't undo it, if that's what you mean.

Diane: I haven't heard that before.

No, that's fine. Perfect.

While you're at it, why don't you just go screw her

and get it over with?

No. Because I'm sick, and I'm in the hospital,

if you haven't noticed.

Oh, please. You're such an asshole!

Go to hell.

I'm getting better.

It looks that way.

Everything okay?

Do you remember Rich?
