The first 200 lines.
When I was your age, I had to spend the night in a hospital too.
Lots of times, actually.
: It's difficult when you come home for such a short time.
I know it's hard. But we're here now.
You should make the most of it.
I can't accept this.
It's a gift for Eid, tradition.
Okay? How's the place?
It's fine.
I don't have much privacy, but it's a bed.
You haven't heard from the police again I hope?
No. You?
Nothing.
Hopefully they've forgotten me now.
And what about work? Have you been able to find any?
I did. I did.
English, Amira.
If he needs money,
maybe he needs food?
Amira, you know I'm working, huh?
What's the story they told?
So many people came for Mama's Maqlubeh
that we finished it all? Baba had to bring more lamb?
You remember that? You were so young.
We should be celebrating.
What? We went to prayers. I got you new clothes.
I wish they were still here.
I know.
I want to come to the hospital with you.
- Amira. - It's Saturday.
I will be quiet. I won't move. I'll do my homework.
I have a lot of homework, Bash.
Amira, it's not the kind of place people go for no reason, okay?
I have a reason. I want to be with you today.
Okay.
Hello, Dr. Leblanc.
Force of habit. I'm sorry.
I know I've missed a few appointments. I know.
All you're supposed to do is see me twice a year.
Yeah, I know.
You're avoiding me, Magalie.
No, I'm... I'm busy.
Your rhythm's normal now,
but there was a flag on your remote monitoring.
- Arrhythmia? - Mm.
- More than one flag? - Three. You didn't feel them?
We replace a pacemaker every six years.
I've had this one almost that long.
It's probably just a glitch.
Humour me. How've you been feeling?
Totally at odds with whatever report that thing sent you.
I'm fine. If there was anything wrong,
I'd be feeling dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain.
Yeah, yeah, you're a doctor, I get it.
I'd still like to do a stress test to be sure.
Half an hour. That's all I need.
I've got to go to work. Next week?
What do I have to do here, Mags?
Get Bishop to make you my cardiology fellow?
I'll be back, I promise.
Do you ever not start early?
Oh! Ah! You need to tell me if you see
the girl with snakes in her veins.
Hey Charlie. Did you come for a needle exchange?
He was polling all of triage, asking about snakes.
Scared a couple people so they said to put him in Exam 4.
Okay. I'll get a nurse to start fluids.
He seems a bit off his baseline.
Good morning, Dr. Curtis.
Lou? Are you two a thing? Like a secret work thing?
Please learn boundaries.
Fast start today, we have a GSW coming in,
33-year-old male, ETA 8 minutes.
I need blood. I need bodies.
There's a found down on the way in too.
Dr. Hamed takes the found down. Dr. Curtis, Dr. Leblanc with the GSW.
Any info on the patient?
Elderly woman in cardiac arrest. That's all I've got.
Oh and good news. I'll be your attending today.
What? It was a scheduling mess up.
Meaning you went in and messed it up?
Lena Joseph, 85 years old,
VF arrest. Mailman saw her in the living room floor and
broke through the front window.
She's obviously been down for some time, she looks dehydrated.
12 minutes CPR. Defib'd twice and two doses of epi.
No pulse. She's still in VFIB.
Okay, charging the defibrillator, 200J,
unsynchronized. Everybody clear.
: Shock advised.
Start compressions right away.
Do we know how long she was lying here before anybody found her?
Could've been days. The mailman said she lives alone.
There's a daughter, but she wasn't around.
Two minutes of CPR and then a pulse check.
Will Marsh, BP 80 over 60, heart rate 110.
They were held up at gunpoint outside a bank.
Will pushed me out of the way.
I was handing over my purse and the guy shot anyway!
Okay, stay here, alright? Stay right here.
- One, two, three. - (MAN GROANING)
Will, can you feel your arms and legs?
What do we have?
Single penetrating bullet wound to the abdomen.
Husband and wife report hearing one shot fired.
Has he been persistently hypotensive?
80's four over 62.
Let's log roll him to check for other wounds.
On three. One, two, three.
- (GROANING) - Stop! Please
: Will, let me know where it hurts!
- No exit wound. - One, two, three.
The bullet is still inside, sir.
What does the bullet rule say, Dr. Leblanc?
The bullet wound seen on imaging should always be an even number.
LOC decreasing. Get him some blood and TXA.
- FAST positive. - Let's get an AP,
abdomen and chest,
see if we can find the bullet or fragments.
Let's roll him, on three. One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Give me a sec.
Will?
Ma'am, you can't be in here right now.
Lucy, Will's a fighter! Okay?
We need to figure out the path
the bullet took when it went through his body
Dr. Bishop? Looks like the bullet is lodged against his pancreas.
The best thing you can do for Will is to give us space to work.
I'll come and explain everything after.
Find out how long OR needs for an emergency lap.
On it.
While you're filling the wife in,
- get a full medical history. - Copy.
Recharging defib.
Stop compressions. Everybody clear.
: Shock advised.
Okay, I've got a pulse.
She's waking up!
Mrs. Joseph?
It's good to have you back with us.
This isn't right.
It's okay. You were under cardiac arrest,
but we were able to revive you.
You were supposed to let me die.
Well, that's a new one.
Charlie's in the vents? Going where?
Pharmacy, maybe.
He's out of luck, all the narcotics are locked up.
Should I call the cops, Dr. Bishop?
Or the fire department?
Not much point until we can find him.
We've known Charlie for years. He's harmless.
Best to try and coax him down
before we have to take more drastic action.
I connected with Lena Joseph's daughter, Erin.
She's on her way.
How did she react?
Like she found out her mother almost died.
Not sure there's a standard response.
I don't know how you'd be able to forgive yourself
for something like that.
We don't know the whole story.
Well, we know she wasn't there, and her mother was alone.
I've learned to not let what happens here affect me personally.
Or maybe it's what makes you a good doctor.
Miles, this is Doctor Hunter.
You can call me Theo.
What seems to be the problem, pal?
Persistent erection.
That can happen.
You here by yourself?
He didn't wanna give us his mom's number.
Okay.
How long it's been going on?
Could you give us a minute? Thank you.
Four hours.
It hurts.
Okay, Miles, you're going to be fine, but...
four hours is a long time. You wanna tell me what's going on?
I was supposed to meet this girl after school.
So you took something.
I found some of my dad's old pills.
And that's why you didn't want us to call your mom.
She'd freak! We don't talk about this kind of stuff.
It might resolve with ice and pseudoephedrine.
If plan A works, we don't have to call your mom.
What's plan B?
Let's cross that bridge if we come to it. Okay?
Are you my mother's doctor?
- Yes. Bashir Hamed. - Hi.
They said that you were out of town?
At a month-long training program for work.
But I drove straight back here as soon as they called.
I saw her just before I left.
How could I have missed her being so ill?
She was extremely dehydrated when she was brought in.
Malnourished.
She hadn't had any food or water for days.
I stocked her fridge.
