SkyMed

Winnipeg centre, this is Skymed 911 medevac

Requesting priority.

- I didn't know it was this bad. - Wheezer's lucky

- he only broke his back. - Wheezer?

That's chief pilot wheezer sir, to you.

I love you, milosz.

Kocham cie too, tristan.

Hey, nurse tristan. I didn't get to see you

after everything that happened.

You were so cool under pressure.

It was, uh, pretty hot, actually.

When any of us puts on our gold bars,

it doesn't just mean we know how to fly a plane,

it means we will put the safety of everyone in the plane first.

This is the north. We make do with what we have

or people die.

When I told you I got into med school,

I was kind of hoping you'd tell me not to go.

I can't be the reason you don't go after this.

- I love you. - Yeah, I know, Flip.

I'm gonna go on the lam for a while. I think I need it.

Damn it, chopper, go fast but easy!

This shit ain't paid, Crys!

My ex didn't want me to be a pilot.

- Do you know what you do what? - Same thing I've wanted

Since I was ten, to be an astronaut.

I'd be thrilled to attend selection camp

- with space program Canada. - You came back!

- Sorry? - You're Jolene's son.

My dad was Jamaican. My mom was Deep Lake.

That's all I know about my birth parents.

I believe that you want this baby.

I don't believe that you want me.

You're Hayley Roberts, right? The new nurse?

When I first came up here, I was running.

I was trying to pretend like everything was okay.

But it's not. My mom died of cancer.

I have the BRCA-1 gene.

They found precancerous shadows on my MRI.

My oncologist suggested

a preventative double mastectomy.

You'll be here when I wake up?

We take care of our own.

Winnipeg centre, Skymed 911 requesting

deviations for weather.

I can't.

Just do it!

You know how dangerous this is?

Even in a hospital, with proper equipment...

This is family, Crys!

You know I love me a new plane. The question is,

is this gonna mean more hours, or layoffs?

It's never a good thing when small airlines over-expand.

And if they go belly up, we're all out of a job.

Your Polish is showing, Nowak. Doesn't skymed expanding

mean it's doing well?

Not for long. Not in aviation.

Just focus on the job, Lexi.

Keep your head down, and your nose up.

You know, people always say that pilots are all cool

and cocky, but all the ones I know are skinny and anxious.

Aren't you worried, Tristan?

Ontario medevacs fly with paramedics.

Won't that mean less calls for you, too?

Eh, Manitoba, Ontario. People always get sick.

And they're always coming up with new ways

to hurt themselves. Especially around here.

You fix it yet?

Guy was practically givin' her away.

Hundred bucks, can you believe this?

Yeah, that thing's scrap, dude.

Hey, 50 bucks of parts, she's better than new.

Shouldn't we move off the trail?

Just a couple more minutes.

hey, heated vest.

Neighbor said it was busted,

but a couple of tweaks, it's better than new.

That's close, Brett.

Just a couple more minutes.

Okay, Brett, let's have a look.

He's always doing this, finding random junk.

Chest hurts.

Yeah bud, you got hit by a snowmobile.

Uh, why don't you come over here and help me

with some of this gear, huh, Mal?

I'm gonna listen to your chest, okay, Brett?

Check for internal injuries.

Ahh!

Ahh! Ahh!

Whoa.

- You okay, Trist? - Uh, I'm okay.

Dude. You souped up a heated vest with two 12-volts?

Worked... Better than new...

See?

My job is bulletproof.

Double mastectomy, reconstruction...

There's a lot of trauma to the body.

I know.

Six months of physio, Crys, and I still don't have

all my strength back.

How's the pain?

Not enough to keep me out of a plane.

It's a physical job, Hayley.

You can't help anyone if you do too much too soon

- and hurt yourself. - Okay.

Coming from the person who thinks she's gonna do

her clinical full time and work as a flight nurse?

Just try and take it easy, alright?

And don't be afraid to take your pain meds if you need them.

It can't all be kidney function and cranial nerves.

It's mostly cranial nerves,

but sometimes I just need ten minutes

with words that aren't Latin.

It's sweet, how much you miss him.

It's been six months.

You still haven't heard anything?

Jer's in the bush, he can't exactly call.

He needed some time to clear his head,

and that takes as long as it takes.

You know, I only ever wear flight suits or scrubs.

Does this say "med student" or "court date"?

The white coat sells it.

I just, I really want to get this right, you know?

I'm the first person from north house

- to go to medical school. - Hey.

You're gonna crush it, Dr. Highway.

Oh, I gotta go.

I'm glad to have you back.

Don't hurt your patients, and don't hurt yourself.

Yes, ma'am.

Welcome back, baby!

Not to throw you into the deep end,

but Bodie's doing a line indoc with a new FO

- and I could use some backup. - Another one?

It's hard to fill chopper's shoes.

Well, he is chopper. And an astronaut.

Almost astronaut.

The pilots are calling this new guy "Skippy"

so I am not optimistic.

Hey, nurse Tristan!

Skippy, right? I'm Hayley.

It's Reese, actually.

Wait, I thought your last name was Hassan?

Well, you know pilots. I got Reese's pieces

in flight school, then it became peanut butter...

And then my jackass flight partner

went to Skippy and it stuck.

Anyway, uh, I got the gear loaded,

I grabbed us all some coffee.

Uh, I got the heads-up. Bodie can be bought.

Nice.

Turboprops make more of a hum, bud.

We'll work on it. Alright?

Hi! Sorry I'm late, Bodie. Did you have a good night?

Eh, I got four hours of sleep, he got a little more.

Well, I had to hit the store while Joel's cereal's on sale.

It's so expensive,

and he's going through it like water.

Hi! Ready to go?

Oh, I have to send some when he starts daycare next week.

You brought them the check, right?

If we lose this spot, it'll be months

before another one opens up.

Yeah, Madison.

Dropped it off yesterday.

We're good for when your classes start.

Okay. Oh, I have mail for you.

I had to update your contact info.

Donor screening called on the home phone.

- I gave them your cell. - Oh, um...

Right, I got screened when Joel was in the NICU

In case he needed anything. Uh... I'll give them a call,

tell them to take me off their list.

- Okay. - Alright.

Wheels up in ten. Be good for mom, okay, buddy?

Bye.

Yeah, the other students warned me.

I heard she's a total hardass.

The word is, "perfect" isn't good enough for Yana.

I go with an under-serviced backwater

for the brownie points, and get stuck

with a self-important bitch.

Or Dr. Noah's one of the most respected

emergency medicine doctors in the province,

and she expects everyone to come up to her level?

You don't last in an "under-serviced backwater"

if you don't know your shit and everyone else's.

63-year-old male with history of COPD,

complains of three days of shortness of breath.

Mr. Rodman. First steps?

- Chest exam. - If you will.

anterior-posterior diameter,

or "barrel chest" in a classic COPD presentation.

Whoa!

Watch his airway.

Light taps,

fingers in the intercostal spaces, like this.

Or however Dr. Noah prefers.

You must be Ms. Highway. Our infamous flight nurse.

I've heard about your exploits with duct tape.
