The Resident

- Previously on The Resident... - My father, he died alone

because his public hospital

in a poor brown neighborhood didn't

have enough resources to save him.

There's something I have to tell you.

I'm pregnant.

Oh, my God, you're gonna be the best mother ever.

Listen, I'm sorry you got the cold shoulder all day.

All will be forgiven if you answer one question.

Who's replacing Logan Kim as CEO?

Chastain isn't getting a new CEO.

I don't understand. Someone has to be in charge.

Who's gonna run the hospital?

Ben Mullins has

a clotting disorder that is threatening

his heart, lungs and now his brain.

This is your fault.

This is on you.

No, it's on the patient, who was advised

- of the risks. - Mm-hmm, deny it all you want.

But you will be held responsible for this.

His prognosis is good.

Dr. Cain said the same thing.

We are indebted to him.

Mrs. Mullins, there's something you should know.

What's up?

I have bad news.

The guy who got COVID in your OR is suing you.

Well, that's too bad... It's my word against his.

No, not this time.

One of your colleagues at Chastain

is testifying against you.

Find out who it is.

I'll see what I can do.

Just don't talk to anyone at the hospital about this.

There's an accident.

Help!

Help!

Help! Please open the door.

Oh, my God.

It'll be okay.

Get out of the road!

Get out...

Get out of the road!

Mr. Yorn?

Dr. Bell.

Thank you.

Dr. Bell, come on in.

Check this out.

EKO composite barrel.

Feel this thing.

- Wow. - Yeah.

It's for my son. That's him right here.

He's got a hell of a swing.

Little man's living his best life.

- You got any rug rats? - Uh, no.

Yeah, you don't know what you're missing.

So, listen, uh,

I caught your show.

Um, not for me.

Numbers are pretty good though.

Well, I'll get right to it.

I spoke to Dr. Voss and I know that you're...

I haven't hired a new CEO for Chastain.

You're here because you want the job back.

No...

No, not at all, but I do

want to see the chair filled with someone

who can put Chastain back on its feet

and overcome the losses we suffered during COVID,

so I'm offering to help you in that search.

I'm sorry you came all this way for nothing.

Excuse me?

We have no need for a new CEO.

Not now.

Not ever.

- You're selling the hospital? - Yeah, Red Rock

doesn't throw good money after bad.

Hey...

maybe someone else will.

Mina?

We need to talk.

You didn't seem to want to talk when we woke up this morning.

All right, listen.

We are both passionate

and opinionated people.

Inside and outside of the operating room.

- So we need ground rules. - Exactly.

Inside these walls, we keep it

strictly professional at all times.

Agreed, no physical contact of any kind.

Well, we can table that part of the discussion for later.

But for now, in general,

it's understood that we will not always agree.

Like your choice of OR music?

A bypass should never be performed to the blues.

Or your choice of furosemide drip over boluses.

It's the only way to diurese.

Why you choose interrupted suture

for skin closure is beyond me.

Or how you told Mrs. Mullins

that Cain lied to her.

Mina.

I'm giving Barrett a chance

to see if he can redeem himself.

I'm not gonna hold my breath for that.

I'm not asking you to.

But I am asking you to remember

that I am still your attending.

Well, there's just one more ground rule.

This lounge...

It is the residents' lounge.

Just because you are dating a resident

does not mean you have access.

Oh, really?

So it's like that, huh?

Yeah, it's like that.

I never really liked the coffee in here anyway.

Hey.

Paged to the ER?

Yeah.

Me, too.

You okay?

Yeah, just...

in my head.

Those home pregnancy tests

are 99% accurate.

I know, I just, I don't, I don't feel any different.

I'm not tired, I'm not nauseous.

You want to do a blood test so we're not guessing?

I want to know for sure.

Today.

Without anyone else finding out.

What's going on?

Incoming multi-vehicle accident.

A dozen cars, two dead on scene.

Let's get ready.

25-year-old male with blunt abdominal trauma.

BP 92/62, pulse 110.

Laceration of the left forearm, bleeding controlled.

- What's he have? - Two liters normal saline.

- Let's get him in Bay Three. - This is so intense.

67-year-old male with burns on his face,

arms, chest and legs. BP 100/60,

- pulse 120. - My car caught on fire.

- I tried to get out, but... - Easy, easy. Don't talk.

We're gonna take care of you.

That man saved my life.

It's Cain.

- Go, I got this. - Dr. Cain.

48-year-old male.

Ambulance versus pedestrian, with right shoulder pain.

BP 110/80.

Heart rate 120.

I hear you're a hero, saved one of the victims.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Just came out of nowhere. All right.

- On your count. - All right, we're good... one, two, three.

Aah!

Get the ultrasound.

Yeah, we know the protocol.

Clear breath sounds bilaterally.

My airways are fine.

See any free fluid?

Negative.

Pupils are equal, round and reactive to light.

Touch your fingers together.

Now grab my fingers.

Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.

Grip strength five out of five and symmetric bilaterally.

Does this feel the same as this?

Again.

This. This.

Cain?

Get me to CT.

Talk to me.

Not each other.

I'm the patient. I'm right here.

Dr. Cain,

put down the tablet.

You shouldn't move.

It could exacerbate your injuries.

Scapulothoracic dissociation.

My arm must've been yanked with significant force,

ripping the scapula from my thoracic cage.

Tearing the nerves in my brachial plexus.

Can't close my hand.

Can't touch my fingers together.

He's gonna need surgery if he ever wants to operate again.

That is a complex procedure,

even for the best orthopedic surgeon.

Page Dr. Voss.

Hey.

Well, that was certainly a hot mess.

- You heard about Cain? - Yeah.

How is he?

In imaging.

He may be seriously injured.

Well, nobody deserves that.

Listen.
