Good Sam

Previously, on "Good Sam"...

You're supervising these doctors.

You're above them in knowledge,

rank and skill. Act like it.

I'm second in command here, and he shows me no respect.

I think I'm gonna take the Cleveland offer, Caleb.

It's not about me.

Yeah.

Dad!

My father can never be replaced,

but I vow to carry on

his legacy to the best of my ability.

You've earned this.

And I say that as your chief medical officer,

not your mother.

I'm Sam, by the way.

I'm Malcolm. Kingsley.

I'm the new director of finance.

Sam!

- Mom. - It's your father.

He's waking up.

You were shot six months ago.

How long...

till I can work again?

You have to be proctored.

I'll do it.

I'll supervise him.

What, do you have company?

And since you brought up Lex,

the next time you want to help me, don't screw my best friend!

My dad is here.

- With my dad. - The chairman of the board.

He's trying to go over my head,

skip to the end of his proctorship.

You all asked me to step in as chief.

And now my father is awake and you are asking me to step aside.

And I can't do that. Because I am

a better chief.

May the best Dr. Griffith win.

"Nowhere to Run" by Martha Reeves & the Vandellas playing...

This man's appendix lasted 75 years before it blew.

We should all be so lucky.

Look at that ascending colon,

Dr. Tucker.Beautiful.

Thank you to Elaine Hart

for her generous gift.

Now, it can only be one of you.

The other gets

to head down to the lobby at the donor event.

Who wants the appendectomy honors?

I want it. I want it. You got to clip that aneurysm

- in neuro yesterday. - While you assisted on a triple bypass.

Also, Sam's at that donor event.

Low blow.

Still true. You better go.

I'll do the appy. Fine by me.

Better hurry before Malcolm beats you to it.

You look...

Like I'd rather be wearing scrubs?

Not what I was gonna say.

Please welcome

Chairman of the Board

Byron Kingsley.

Please, applaud yourselves.

Each of you make Lakeshore what it is.

This is my first big schmooze event

since I've been competing with my dad for the chief position.

I have to impress the board.

Well, just be yourself and pretend you're wearing scrubs.

That's terrible advice.

I don't get to cut any of these people open.

Do you have a vision for the department?

Do you believe that you are the best person to run it?

I do.

Then tell them why.

Thank you for your generous gifts.

All right, you ready?

What? No.

I was gonna work my way up to your dad.

No, no, trust me... Now's the time.

He's always in a good mood

after he gives a speech. Come on.

Would you stop?

You look like a lion hunting a gazelle.

I can't believe that Sam's still going through with this.

There's no way

the board's gonna choose her for chief over me.

She's starting a war she can't win.

I know I can't talk either of you out of this competition,

but she's my daughter.

Don't hurt her.

Hey.

She's my daughter, too.

It's the last thing I want.

Not with your cholesterol.

Oh. Your new husband know

you've still got a thing about my cholesterol?

Go eat a vegetable.

All right, Dr. Shah,

we'll have this guy back on the tennis court in no time.

Here I go.

Slow and steady.

What the hell?

I can't see anything. He's hemorrhaging.

What did you do? Uh, I don't know.

There was some resistance. Maybe adhesions.

How can...

What can I do?

Converting to open. 10 blade.

Yes, Doctor.

Suction, Dr. Shah.

Large bore suction here.Yeah.

Set up another cell saver.

Over here.

There's no visualization.

It's coming too fast.

Over here. Over here.

Give me that clamp.

Activate massive transfusion protocol.

I-I can't get source control. The tissue's falling apart.

Move! Move!

We're losing him.

We're losing him.

Call it.

*GOOD SAM Season 01 Episode 03

Episode Title: " Butt of the Joke" Aired on: January 19, 2022.

Great speech, Dad.

Thank you, son. You remember Dr. Griffith.

Thank you again for considering me for the position.

I'm eager to see how it all plays out.

I'm eager to tell you about the innovations

I have planned for my department.

Virtual and augmented reality

training tools enhance performance and lower...

Put me back in a coma. Thought this was a party.

Hey.

How you doing? Big man.

I got a tee time with Waxie on Saturday.

You in? Waxman.

He may own two planes,

but his backswing has seven.

Well, if you're around tomorrow,

I would love to tell you about my plans.

Oh, hey! You say hi to Gina?

No, I haven't. I need to.

Mm...

Outwitted by a golf joke.

Mm, a golf joke about Waxman.

Our biggest donor.Yeah.

What is that?

Hmm? Oh.

That thing you're doing with your fingers.

It's the, um, chromatic scale.

I just need something to do with my hands when I'm stressed.

What if you try this?

That help?

It does, actually.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Uh...

We lost the patient.

In a routine lap appy?

Isan's taking it pretty hard.

His hands were in the body.

Please record your message.

Isan, it's me.

Caleb told me what happened. I'm so sorry. I...

If you need to talk, I'm here, okay? Call me anytime.

You were always so competitive.

When we played Candy Land,

you were out for blood.

But...

you weren't great at losing.

The board sees me as a contender, even if you don't.

I'm talking to you as your father.

I'm trying to spare you the humiliation.

What you should do is back out gracefully,

before you get hurt.

I don't want to see you lose the respect

of your colleagues and the board.

No, you just want your job back without having to fight for it.

If I have to... fight you,

I will, but...

Sam, it's gonna end badly for you.

I disagree.

And I am not backing down.

Okay. So be it.

Consider yourself...

warned.

This is Tracy Reynolds. 40 years old.

Chest pain, headache.

No family history of heart disease.

It's not a heart attack.

I really don't have to be here.

Tracy, honey, if it hurts there,

you come here. Right, Doctors?

That is right. Tracy, hi, I'm Dr. Griffith.

We're gonna start you with an EKG.

Thank you.

Maybe-maybe one of my implants ruptured?

Those aren't real?
