Transplant

- I wanna scrub in. - We don't need you up here.

- You're a trauma surgeon, June. - Without an effective treatment,

he'll die before she gets to know him.

You're solving a problem, Dr. Leblanc,

that he may not want you to solve.

I don't understand. I caught up with rent last month

- I'm sorry, Bashir. - I have two bedrooms.

It's a lot.

I want to help, I want this to work.

I know he's excited about retiring.

I want to help him get ready for that, I do.

But I'm still working here now, alright?

For a few more months, anyways. So...

Can you just talk to him for me?

Yeah.

Amira?

Everything alright?

My brother's not back?

No. He's still at work.

Is it okay if I wait for him?

Yeah. Of course.

How was Amira this morning?

Tired. Sorry if she worried you last night.

Grace wakes up like that sometimes after a nightmare.

She's been displaced so many times.

You're there for her, that's all that matters.

I had to leave Lenny on the side of the road.

- Who's Lenny? - That's her car.

You have a car named Lenny?

Yes. And he's got, like, a cracked engine block,

and he needs a new transmission

That's probably more than the car costs.

I bought that car when I was 17 years old with my own money.

He's got me through university, med school,

and an entire leg of Sleater-Kinney's reunion tour

Hey. Excuse me.

- Are you a doctor? - Yeah, how can I help?

You should've helped me when you had the chance!

- Security! - Back off!

- Get off me! - Hey, hey, hey!

- We got this. We got this. - Get off me!

Are you okay?

Here. Take this.

I know I'm late, sir. Won't happen again.

Actually, you're right on time.

No, it's just Theo this morning, I was...

Why did you choose emergency medicine, Dr. Leblanc?

I know for a fact you could've had your pick of residencies.

- Why this one? - Uh...

Because in Emerg, you can't just be good at one thing.

You gotta be the best at everything.

And are you?

Well, I...

I definitely have things to work on. But...

Do you know what the minimum expectation

of patients treated per shift is?

- Twenty. - And...

What do you think your average is?

- Less. - Fifteen.

You're saying I need to move faster. I can do that.

I'm saying there's a reason you don't.

You spend too much time per case.

Your patient histories are more comprehensive

than any other resident.

Well, isn't that why I catch as much as I do?

You catch too much.

You actively look for problems to solve.

What we do here is present tense.

The drive-through instead of fine dining.

We treat what they came for. We admit them if they need it,

cut them loose if they don't.

You've never raised this before

Well, now that you're reaching the end of your second year,

it's a good time to correct any bad habits

before they become a pattern.

Which is why you're going to be evaluated today, by me.

Who do we have waiting this morning, Claire?

Uh, we gotta head lac,

we've got an ankle sprain, and a senior with a fever.

I'll start with the fever.

Here you go!

Mm. What I wouldn't give for a large cup of coffee.

Uh, Doctor? Uh, doctor...?

- Hamed. - Hamed. Javier.

Um... My wife Maria, she's got this flu.

Javy, mi amor.

I know, I'm just explaining. Um, and...

We just wanted to make sure there isn't anything we should be doing.

We're headed up to OB, so no need to bother the doctor.

No, it's not a problem,

They'll listen to the baby

and probably ask you to take it easy for a couple of days.

- Okay. Thank you. - You're welcome.

And ask to check out that rash.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's broken.

Hey, thanks for coming to my rescue.

Did they find out who the guy was?

Supposedly he was waiting for a doctor,

and I guess he got tired of waiting.

And just needed someone to take it out on?

The way you jumped in, uh...

Guessing you've had to do that kind of thing before?

Doesn't mean you get used to it.

Well, I've never been in a fight.

I wouldn't exactly call that a fight.

A stranger came out of nowhere and punched you in the face.

- That's... - Twice.

And I didn't do anything to try to stop him.

I just... froze.

Hey, I can... I can cover your patients if you want to go home.

I don't have to leave.

Well, if you just want to take a break for an hour.

No, I'm good. Thanks, Bash.

Thanks for the coffee.

Your surgical attending has you transwriting charts?

Sutures, cyst drainage,

foreign body removal, more sutures.

If he's in a really good mood, I get to suction.

They call it paying your dues.

So I've been told.

I know Singh's work takes precedence

over anything you pick up down here, but...

if you get a second,

I have a woman in curtain four with a runny nose.

Don't tell me she needs suction

Actually, it's a bit of a mystery.

Been going on three years.

No signs of infection.

Okay, Mrs. Willis.

Well, based on what I can see here, I think it's just a flu.

So, I'm gonna put you in an IV

to rehydrate you, and give you acetaminophen for the fever.

I worried when the dizzy spells got worse.

The dizzy spells, you didn't, you didn't mention that to triage.

Oh, that nurse was so busy, I didn't want to bother.

No, that's no bother.

How long has that been going on?

A few weeks.

My doctor says it's a neural thing?

Mm... And are you diabetic?

- Mm-hmm. - Okay.

Is it possible he called it peripheral neuropathy?

Um... That sounds right.

I... I wrote the name down.

- But I... - Well, if it's neuropathy,

an inhibitor may not be the best course of action

I'm gonna do some tests, okay?

Okay, thank you.

Of course.

Excuse me, are you a doctor?

- Back off! - We got this! We got this!

Are you okay?

Mrs. Rawana? Hi, I'm Dr. Curtis.

I hear you have quite the runny nose.

I didn't want to come in,

but my daughter made me after it started getting worse.

Take a breath.

Sit up.

It's getting worse?

I'm used to getting up with a wet pillow.

The last few days it's been more like a pond than a puddle.

Mm.

Okay, and you've spoken to your family doctor about this?

She says I have bad allergies,

and sent me to an ear, nose and throat doctor who said the same thing.

They put me on this medication.

Diphenhydramine.

It makes me drowsy.

What's the point in feeling that way if it's not even helping?

Well, I'm gonna have a look, okay?

Can you open your mouth?

Is your family from the Caribbean?

Jamaica, but my parents met here.

I was born in Trinidad.

My husband, too.

Your parents must be so proud of you.

Beautiful black woman.

Big city doctor.

No pain?

Anyway...

I'm sure you tell them the same thing our daughter tells us.

Be proud, be supportive,

but do it from the sidelines.

How long have you had that bump on your collarbone?

Is it something I should be concerned about?

Not necessarily, but I'll...

I'll have a closer look.

Can I get a CT and labs on Mrs. Willis?

Mrs. Willis, that's the elderly lady with the flu?

Yeah, she's having dizzy spells.

We need to call her GP for a history.

I won't let it slow me down.

How's doctor Hunter today?

He's had better mornings.

Doctor Hamed?

Hey, is everything okay?

OB is very busy today.

They said they could see us, but not for a while.
