Chicago Med (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Natural History - full transcript

[indistinct chatter]

[laughter]

[relaxed music]

[indistinct chatter]

[cheering]

Hey!

That's my uncle Miles on the grill.

- Uncle Miles?
- Is that gingerhead with you?

[laughing]

Oh, is that my baby girl Becca?

Can you believe how big she's gotten?



- Hey, Grandma.
- Hey, sweetie.

- This is Will.
- Hi, Will.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Why don't you go see your uncle Will?

Okay, hi.

- Stay with Will.
- Hi.

Okay.

Denise?

Hey, Mags.

I didn't think you were gonna come.

- Ah...
- Oh...

Just decided to fly
in at the last minute.

Well, I'm glad you did.

Will Halstead, come over here
and meet my sister, Denise.



- Okay, let me hand her over.
- I'll take her.

- Yeah, nice to meet you.
- Come on, sweetie.

[grunts]

Hi, Denise.

So are you to blame for
the big mouth on this one?

Please, Maggie's been sassy
ever since she could talk.

It's not my fault; I was born that way.

So what should we do?

I'm off on Monday and the
weather's supposed to be great.

I'm actually flying back
to Dallas in a few hours.

I got to be back at the
makeup counter tomorrow.

Well, let's make the most of it, then.

Okay.

Come on, let's go say hi to everybody.

Hey!

- Morning, Ms. Goodwin.
- Good morning.

What brings you in on a Saturday?

I could ask you the same thing.

I'm filling in as trauma attending.

We haven't had an elective
heart surgery in a week.

Yes, I know we've had some cancellations

since Dr. Downey died,

but we can't expect to rebuild
a destination program overnight.

We've got a great team.

Word will spread.

Connor! Incoming.

With you.

Patient name: Glenn Simon.

57-year-old male.

GSC 15, vitals stable.

Got knocked off his
horse at the polo ground.

Gross deformity to the right femur.

All right, let's go to T3.

Mr. Simon, can you
tell us what happened?

My buddy Harvey is a cheater.

That's what happened.

Tried to pull a 90-degree ride-off.

Knocked me clear off my pony.

All right,
let's get an X-ray and call Ortho.

Got it.

All right, let's move him on my count.

Ready?

- One, two, three.
- [moans]

- Mr. Simon, any pain?
- Not there.

- Okay.
- Ugh!

- Oh, ho, ho.
- Looks like we found it.

- Yep.
- Let's get him off the board.

All right, on my count: one, two, three.

- [moaning]
- Gently. There we go.

- Nice.
- [laughs nervously]

Get an IV started.

Hang a bolus of saline.

Five milligrams of
morphine for the pain.

We're gonna get you fixed up, Mr. Simon.

I never like to admit
that my wife was right,

but I'd be in a lot less pain
if I stuck to golf like...

[slurring] she asked me to...

Mr. Simon? Mr. Simon, can you hear me?

He's stroking.

All right, give 20
milligrams of labetalol.

Let's get him to CT and echo now.

Maybe I'll come and visit in Dallas.

I can use some primping.

You know,
I actually might be out of town a bit

over the next two months.

But after that, yeah.

Bye.

Bye.

So, uh,
how long's she been living in Dallas?

I don't know.

She moved maybe nine, ten years ago.

Let me guess... Because of a guy?

Something like that.

[tires screeching, crash]

Denise!

Whoa, easy, Denise.

- Denise? Okay.
- You're okay.

I'm right here. I'm right here.

- Are you okay?
- I can't see.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay.

- Okay, breathe. Breathe.
- I can't see.

Breathe.

[indistinct chatter, phones ringing]

What's gotten into you?

What? Nothing.

Okay, something's different.

- You look happy.
- [chuckles]

I'm just glad to have a weekend shift.

Looking forward to a quiet day.

- Hey, Nat.
- Yeah?

Will has the day off.

Thought Jeff could follow you.

Sure.

Okay.

- [alarm beeps]
- Announcer: All attending to...

[radio chatter]

- What've we got?
- Mid-20s male.

Found him down by the train station.

GCS 14.

Fever's 103. BP's 160 over 90.

Heart rate 110.

Sir, can you tell us what happened?

I don't think you'll get very far.

He doesn't speak a word of English.

No ID... this is
everything we found on him.

[speaking foreign language]

- It's a foreign currency.
- Let me see that.

Yeah, it's Thai.

If he just arrived to the U.S.,

he could have brought
whatever this is with him.

Let's track down a translator online.

Right. Let's get him to T2.

Mr. Simon,
we're taking you up to the surgical ICU.

You understand?

Glenn, honey.

I'm here.

Glenn?

Glenn!

Mrs. Simon?

Why isn't my husband saying anything?

Mrs. Simon, I'm Dr. Rhodes.

I'm taking care of your husband.

Why don't we find somewhere
where we can talk?

So your husband has what is
called a bifurcated vena cava.

It allowed the emboli
from his leg fracture

to bypass his lungs and go
straight into his brain.

With your consent, I
would like to operate.

I'd like to get a second opinion.

Glenn has a partner who's on
the board at the Mayo Clinic,

and I'm sure he could refer
us to a cardiologist there.

I understand.

As long as he has the fracture,

he's at risk of having another stroke.

And we can't fix his leg
until I fix his heart.

Waiting could put him
in even greater danger.

Fool still thinks he's 25 years old.

I came here to give
him a piece of my mind,

and now this.

Mrs. Simon.

We have a great team here at Gaffney.

I believe when your husband
comes out of surgery,

he's gonna be good and ready to
receive a piece of your mind.

Okay.

Will, uh... Dr. Halstead...

Gave her a dose of IV steroids.

Now her vision is starting to return.

Any idea what may have caused this?

- Not yet.
- Can we get you anything?

No, you both got enough on your plate.

And I'm fine... really.

Denise,
I would really encourage you to stay.

[stammering] I'm okay.

[chuckles]

Where you going?

If I leave now, I can
still catch my flight.

But a second ago, you
couldn't see your hand

in front of your face.

Yeah, and now I can.

Thanks for the great care.

Don't be stubborn, Denise.

You know I've always had migraines.

This is just another passing episode.

Transient blindness
can actually be caused

by a number of things.

- We should run some more tests.
- Exactly.

What happens next time that you have

one of your passing episodes,

and you're driving on the expressway?

Fine. Fine.

Can we make this quick?

Ah...
this is what I get for trying to take on

a 12-pound pot roast.

[laughs]

Good news is,
it's just a second-degree burn.

Might blister and swell a bit,

but you'll live to cook another day.

Okay, BP's 160 over 90.

Let's page OB... Have them take a look.

You're, uh, seven months along?

Yeah, why?

Honey, are you okay?

Everything's okay.

Your wife's blood pressure
is slightly elevated.

I'd like to get some
labs and an ultrasound

just as a precaution.

Is that necessary?

I've been seeing my doula regularly,

and she says everything's good.

I'm right on track for home birth.

I know you must think we're
some granola-fed hipsters,

but that's not it.

My sister miscarried after an amnio,

and I promised myself
I would do everything

as natural as possible.

That includes protecting my baby
from the harmful sound waves.

I understand completely.

But in some cases, high blood pressure

can affect fetal growth.

I just want to rule out
any possible complications.

Well, I guess it's good
to be on the safe side.

Right, honey?

[speaking foreign language]

The patient's not speaking Thai.

If I had to guess based
on his inflection,

it's an Indonesian dialect.

If you want, I'll contact
the network administrator...

See who they have in Jakarta.

Please. Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, so, Mr. Clarke...

Fever, chills, vomit, diarrhea.

Chikungunya, Dengue.

Yellow fever?

Maybe... that or one
of 100 other diseases.

Welcome to the future.

Migration, climate change...

The whole world is on our doorstep.

So what do you do when you
have an infectious disease

of an unknown origin?

I'd start with CBC, CMP,

blood, sputum, urine cultures...

uh, rapid mono and strep.

Good.

You start the H&P,

and I'll put in the order

and hang some IV metronidazole.

Will do.

Actually, totally my fault.

Overdid it on the PT...

Had to do that last leg lift,

and this is my reward.

[yawns]

- Am I boring you, Doctor?
- Oh, no, sorry.

I stayed up all night
attacking the library...

Got all the way to Bowlby.

- Bowlby? Great stuff.
- Mm-hmm.

Made Charles Darwin the fascination

of an entire generation of shrinks.

Bowlby said that Darwin
had a panic disorder.

Oh, yes, ma'am. Charlie had a dark side.

Wait till you get to Barloon and Noyes.

Dr. Charles, Dr. Reese,
thanks for coming down.

What's up, Ethan? What do you got?

Amanda Kendrick-Dobbs.

Seven months pregnant, gravid belly,

history of fetal movement and
Braxton Hicks contractions...

All signs of a normal pregnancy.

So what's the issue?

There's no baby.

Dr. Rhodes?

I'm Leah Bardovi.

I'm starting my surgical residency here.

Welcome to Chicago Med.

So clinically speaking,
the patient will be dead?

Just long enough for me to
do the repair on his aorta.

And then we will warm him up

and restart the heart.

Hm.

Did a lot of these under Dr. Downey?

A few.

You know, he's the
reason I applied here.

When I got my match, I told my dad

that I'm going to be training
under the greatest surgeon

in the world.

And now...

I'm just honored to be
learning from his prot?g?.

[exhales]

Cooling jackets prepped?

Standing by.

Then let's do this. Scalpel.

Appreciate the visit,

but we just want to make
sure the baby's okay.

Why are you here again?

Oh, we try and look in on
all our expectant mothers

as part of a routine
wellness assessment.

It was actually Dr. Reese who

flagged your high blood pressure.

Have you been under any stress lately?

Maybe something at work?

Oh, I'm not working.

Uh, I haven't been since
we moved here last year.

Yeah,
when my firm transferred me from Denver,

we thought it'd be a good time

for Amanda to stay at home

and focus on the baby.

Where did you say Dr. Choi was again?

Pretty sure he's just waiting
for the rest of your blood work.

We will go check in with him right now.

Thanks both for your time.

- Good luck to you.
- Thank you.

Notice how she didn't ask

about any test results or anything?

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

That's 'cause on some level,
she knows the truth.

So what are we looking at?

I don't know, Reese,
what are we looking at?

Uh, well, no grandiose delusions

or other signs of underlying
psychiatric illness,

so I think we can rule out psychosis.

Then how is this even possible?

Well, in a lot of cases,

the anxiety produces a
hormonal reaction...

Causes all of the physical
signs of pregnancy

without a growing fetus.

We need to figure out
why having a baby's

so important to her.

Or more specifically,

why being pregnant is
so important to her.

Right.

So what do we do now?

I see no value in withholding
this from them any longer.

So what do you say, Doctor?

You want m... Me to break the news?

No, don't worry, Grandma.

No, I'll let you know as
soon as the tests come back.

Me too.

Bye.

Hey.

- Hi.
- How's your sister?

Stubborn as ever.

I am here for you if you need anything.

Okay?

Thank you.

Dr. Manning?

Hey, Mags.

Uh, the translator in
Jakarta struck out.

Apparently there are over
700 languages in Indonesia.

- What about his fever?
- He's up to 104.

Let's get him into a
negative pressure room.

Hang some IV Tylenol,
and let's see if there's any way

we could put a rush on those labs.

- Okay.
- Okay.

What was that?

What was what?

You, Jeff, the body language,

the touching on the shoulder.

Something is definitely up.

Hm?

You mean I'm right?

[gasps]

Do you think it's weird?

What, you hooking up with your
late husband's best friend?

- Not "hooking up."
- Whatever you want to call it.

- You're asking me if it's weird.
- Yeah.

Eh, a little.

[sighs]

Don't stress out about it.

I learned a long time
ago that you have to do

what makes you happy,

even if some people think it's strange.

Dr. Manning.

- Okay.
- [alarm blaring]

[wheezing]

What's happening?

He's in bronchospasm.

Let's bag him and get some racemic epi

and 125 milligrams of solumedrol IV.

Sats are still dropping.

I need a better airway.

Let's tube him. 20 of
etomidate, 100 of sux.

- You're gonna intubate?
- Here you go.

He won't be able to speak to
a translator if we do that.

We don't have to worry
about a translator

if he stops breathing.

[wheezing]

Dr. Manning.

I'm in.

Start a Neb treatment. I got it.

Sats are coming up.

There's got to be someone
somewhere in this city

who can communicate with this guy.

All right, I'm on it.

Placement's good.

Sorry.

It felt like I second-guessed you there.

- Let's get him moved, okay?
- Yes, Doctor.

Call upstairs.

All right, go on bypass.

Cool to 20, but do not crash cool.

Find me when he gets to 32 degrees,

and we'll arrest the heart.

Yes, Dr. Rhodes.

So far, so good.

He's taken well to the anesthetic.

We should be able to start
the repair in an hour or so.

Thank you, Dr. Rhodes.

Mrs. Simon was just telling me

how impressed she was
with your confidence.

[chuckles]

Could you excuse us, please?

I need a quick word
with Dr. Rhodes here.

Where's Dr. Latham?

I was just about to page him.

You signed up for a high-risk surgery

without consulting an attending?

All I did was open him up and cannulate.

It is the Sabbath.

I didn't want to bother
Dr. Latham until I had to.

Glenn Simon is a man
with lots of connections.

You were worried before about
the state of the department.

You'll have even more to worry about

if you don't pull this off.

Page Dr. Latham now.

[sighs]

These machines are the worst. [chuckles]

You obviously haven't seen
the ones down in pathology.

I'd kill for a bag of Vitner's.

Don't overthink it.

Go for the next best thing.

Hey, Will, you got a
second for a curbside?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Rapid strep and mono were negative,
LP normal.

I'm afraid it's something exotic,

but we won't have the cultures
back for another couple of days.

And now with the bronchospasm...

Yeah, it could be almost anything.

Exactly.

I gotta confess, I am
at a complete loss.

Oh.

Well, whenever I find
myself in the weeds,

I go back to something

one of my clinical
attendings used to say...

The answer is always in the history.

That's your pearl of wisdom?

We can't get a history.

We're lost in a maze.

- Then retrace your steps.
- [sighs]

Every decision you made,
each path you took or didn't take.

Examine it all.

Sorry, Nat.

Will, what do the presence of
retinal autoantibodies indicate?

What?

This mean what I think it means?

Right?

I have cancer?

- Possibly.
- Possibly?

We don't know for sure.

There's a chance that
your loss of vision

was caused by your body
fighting some kind of tumor.

Is there any history of
cancer in your family?

I don't know.

Uncle Paul.
He's fighting bladder cancer right now.

Really?

Any other medical history I should know?

Any injuries or any
illnesses or surgeries?

- No.
- Denise?

No.

I'm gonna send you over for a CT scan.

In the meantime,

let's take a quick look.

[knock on door]

Enter.

[door opens]

If you require lights,
you'll have to turn them on yourself.

Sabbath rules.

Dr. Latham,
I understand I should have consulted you

before recommending surgery,

but I'd developed a
rapport with Mrs. Simon,

and I thought since you
observe the Sabbath...

Pikuach nefesh.

A man's life always takes precedence.

So you plan on opening up the heart,

tying off the bifurcated branch,

and closing everything
back up in 30 minutes?

Mm-hmm.

Any longer and there could be
significant cognitive deficits.

I understand.

If you don't over-sew the connection,

he could develop a
deadly pseudoaneurysm.

That might take an even
experienced surgeon an hour.

Pardon me, Dr. Rhodes.

The patient's temp is
down to 32 degrees.

Thank you, Leah.

You realize that by waiting
as long as you did to call me,

you've given us no
other surgical option.

I thought this was our best course.

30 minutes.

I can make it in time.

I've done surgeries equally
as challenging before.

While assisting Dr. Downey.

Yes.

In the cockpit, a copilot's seat

is right next to the captain's,

but the view out of the window
is surprisingly different.

Our... our bodies are complicated.

Sometimes signals get crossed,

and our... our brains say one thing

and our bodies hear something else.

I don't understand.

Is there something wrong with the baby?

Yes. Well...

not exactly.

It's complicated.

What exactly are you saying?

[exhales sharply]

Um...

Well, is there someone here
who can actually explain to us

what's going on, please?

If you give Dr. Reese a minute,

I think that you'll find that
she has an excellent grasp of...

So go ahead.

Explain, Dr. Reese.

I am sorry,

but there is no baby.

We lost the baby?

No. You never had one.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

No, see, the...
the evidence is actually right here.

You have a condition
called pseudocyesis.

You may have heard it referred
to as a hysterical pregnancy.

Are you saying my wife is crazy?

No, she's not. She's
not saying that at all.

She's saying that sometimes
the mind has the ability

to play tricks on the body.

I can feel my baby.
I don't care what this ultrasound shows.

It... Your machine must be broken.

I can assure you it's not.

Your blood test confirms it.

Well, then your lab's broken, too.

I'm pregnant. I am!

Honey. Hey, hey, hey.

- No! No.
- Back off.

- No! No!
- Honey, honey.

- No! Get away from her!
- Get me out of here!

We need some help in here!

[screams and cries]

Shh. It's okay. It's okay.

- No!
- Hey, hey, hey!

No! [crying]

Where are we?

Body temperature's at
20 degrees Celsius.

Flow down.

- Clamp.
- Clamp.

Clamp is on. Give cardioplegia.

Plegia's on.

Heart's arrested.

Start the clock. Stage
is yours, Dr. Rhodes.

- Metz and DeBakey.
- Here you go, Doctor.

Okay.

Upper abdomen looks clear.

Wait a minute. What's this?

I think this thing is acting up again.

Maggie, do me a favor and reboot it.

I had it serviced last week.
It should be fine.

Yeah, but right here.

[breathes heavily]

It's my prostate gland.

My doctor recommended
not removing the prostate

'cause the surgery would
be too complicated.

Well, it's definitely enlarged.

Before I send you over to the scan,

I'm gonna need to order another panel.

Maggie, run down to phlebotomy

and have them draw up a CMP
and check her PSA levels?

Tina can do that for you.
I'm a civilian today.

But you have much more
sway with the lab.

I'll be right back, okay?

If you want me out of
the room, just say so.

Well, excuse me.

Why didn't you tell me your
sister used to be a man?

It's not my place.
It's up to the patient.

Then you should've
gotten her to tell me.

This is crucial medical history.

[sighs]

How long ago did she transition?

About nine years ago.

[sighs]

- Was it hard for you?
- Harder for her.

Hmm.

If it were my family...

she would have been disowned.

Well, it's taken time.

We had a lot to learn.

[cries]

Mr. Dobbs, please calm down.
We just want to help you.

You've done enough.

The second she wakes
up, we're outta here.

I think that would be a mistake,

but I'm not gonna stand in your way.

We're done.

So?

He's taking her home as soon
as the sedative wears off.

We're gonna let them leave?

Yep.

We can't put her on a psych hold?

Doesn't meet the criteria.

I mean,
is she a danger to herself or others?

Is she unable to take
care of her basic needs?

I've been doing some reading.

There was this one case
where they put a woman

under anesthesia and her belly deflated

and...
and she thought she had a miscarriage.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are... are you actually
suggesting that we do that?

I'll go get her discharge started.

So we're giving up?

When's the last time you had some sleep?

Are you sending me home?

No, I just think it might be
a good idea to get some rest.

You know? You've been up all night.

Come back tomorrow, start fresh.

Yeah, you're...

You're... you're right.

I should get out of here.

Do you know how many cases
we're looking at yet?

- Natalie.
- One second.

Okay.

Yes, I will test him right
now and send over the results

as soon as we get them.

Thank you.

Who was that?

Health department.

Looks like our John Doe
might have the measles.

Measles?
But he doesn't have any Koplik's spots.

Doesn't always present that way.

Well, then how did you figure...

Ah.

It's a belt buckle.

Flip it over.

"I survived the Stampede"?

It's a roller coaster.

That amusement park down in Champaign,

they just confirmed that they
had an outbreak of the measles.

Five cases, kids who
were never vaccinated.

This whole time we were
assuming that he brought

this exotic disease into
the country with him.

And now, it actually looks
like he caught it here.

The labs will confirm it.

What?

No, I've known you all these years

and I never realized how genius you are.

I'm serious.

How did you even think to
look at the belt buckle?

When you're in the weeds,
always go back to the history.

No, no, wait! Wait for me!

[sighs]

Perfect.

My husband just went to go get the car,
so...

I'm really sorry.

I wish I had done a better
job explaining things.

Explain what?

That I'm hysterical?

That I'm not carrying a baby?

I'm sure my boss is regretting
ever offering me this position,

and I really wanted to be good at it,
and now,

well, again, I'm...

I'm really sorry.

You're lucky.

What? I'm lucky?

You care about what you do.

You know what I did before I moved here?

I was a skier, an extreme skier.

Wow, sounds like quite
an adrenaline rush.

Yeah, but it was more than that.

It wasn't just something that I did.

But it was who you were.

Yeah.

What you said about my baby,

is it true?

Yeah.

- Maggie?
- What happened?

She wouldn't let me examine her.

- She's leaving.
- What?

Did you know it was offensive

to use the word "transgender" as a noun?

[sighs]

I-I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Okay.

Yeah.

What happened?

Exactly what I should have expected

from a dude from Canaryville.

Oh, come on, Denise,
he's a little awkward and all,

but he's good people.

- And a great doctor.
- You know what?

I'll have my prostate
checked when I get back.

No! You're not leaving,

not without a definitive diagnosis.

You need to have all this
checked out annually, Denise.

You want to know why I
don't come back that much?

I don't always need everybody
judging my choices, okay?

Please, the family? They embrace you.

I'm not talking about the family.

I'm talking about you.

The second I see you at the
family reunion, you're...

You're throwing shade about
how you were born this way.

I was mocking myself.

Just admit it.

You hate what I've done to myself.

I miss my brother. Is
that such a bad thing?

Well, he's gone, damn it!

Not to me!

Not totally!

Look, I'm sorry that I hurt you,

but I'm not gonna lose you.

So if I have to drag you
kicking and screaming

into that CT scanner,
that's what I'm gonna do.

I'm scared.

We'll get through this.

Time?

Six minutes.

Precisely.

6 minutes, 11 seconds.

You still have another layer to go.

Damn it. More suction.

You have a clear line to the vessel.

Suction is not your problem.

You're not gonna make it.

- I have plenty of time.
- Not at the pace you're going.

You've done 57% of the work
in 81% of your allotted time.

You are not gonna get there.

Your nonstop number
crunching isn't helping.

30 minutes. That's what we agreed.

That's what you promised.

[scoffs]

I'm taking over. Step aside, Dr. Rhodes.

- I can do this.
- Step aside!

Dr. Downey may have been
quick to put his faith in you,

but my faith takes longer to earn.

I've spent nearly my entire life

feeling at war with my gender.

It figures,
the one piece I didn't get rid of

is what's gonna kill me.

[knock on door]

Your biopsy came back.

Pretty much what we suspected.

You have prostate cancer.

With treatment,
I am hopeful it can be cured.

But you'll need to see a urologist

as soon as you get home.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

There is a second option.

You could stay in Chicago

and let us take care of you.

I'd like that.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, you tracked down a translator?

No. That's his cousin, Farah.

Turns out his name is Pitopang.

He speaks Mamuju.

Came here from West Sulawesi a month ago

to work in his uncle's restaurant.

Always wanted to ride a roller coaster.

Wow. Nice, April.

Okay.

Hi, I'm Doctor Manning.

Your cousin has the measles,

but he should make a full recovery.

[speaking Mamuju]

[speaking Mamuju]

My cousin said thank you,

and he thinks you two
make a great couple.

And yes, ladies, he
is fluent in Spanish.

[speaking Spanish]

You think he hired a publicist?

Doesn't need to. He's a Rhodes.

Plus, he looks like that.

Hey!

There's our rising star.

Yes!

What are you talking about?

"40 Rising Stars Under 40"?

Yeah, you're number 11.

Hey, don't feel bad.
There's always next year.

Or maybe the cover of "People."

[laughs sarcastically]

I swear, I knew nothing about this.

If you say so.

Sure.

By the way, how'd the surgery go?

Yeah, it was... It was good.

Thought you were going home.

I was just going back over Darwin.

According to Hayman,

Darwin's issues might have
been entirely physiological.

Perhaps some kind of
mitochondrial disorder.

- Huh.
- Mm-hmm.

- You don't say.
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I ran into Amanda on my way out,

and I found out that she
used to be an extreme skier.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

I don't know, maybe being pregnant

was her way of replacing
what she had left behind.

Nature abhors a vacuum, I guess.

Speaking of which...

you mind?

[knock on door]

Ms. Goodwin?

Dr. Rhodes.

I don't know if you've seen this,

but there's a new issue out.

Yeah.

I had no idea that I was gonna
be a part of this article.

No one called or contacted me,

and...
and if they had, I never would have...

I approved it.

You did?

It's good publicity.

Yes, but did you actually read this?

I mean, "Dashing young surgeon"

is poised to lead Chicago
Med into the future."

No, I have no problem with that.

Ms. Goodwin,

look, the surgery today...

Dr. Latham was right,
I wasn't gonna make it.

I thought I was more ready than I am.

So if you're looking to
promote the department,

you should look to him.

I mean, he is a great surgeon.

Latham is a great surgeon,

but they wanted someone under 40.

Stay humble, Dr. Rhodes.

Your time will come.

Huh? What do you think?

Too big?

No, you'll grow into it.

You are now an honorary
member of the Lockwood tribe.

Thank you.

I will wear it with pride.

Who are you looking at?

No one.

Oh. That cute pathologist, Dr. Shore.

- Nina.
- Nina?

- Yeah.
- Oh.

Well, don't feel like you have
to stay here and entertain me.

I've seen enough of you for one day.

Okay.

How do I look?

Mm.

You know, when I think about Malcolm,

it's times like these
that I miss the most.

Malcolm?

Oh.

Go on.

Hey.

Hey.

You ever figure out what you wanted?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I did.

At Johns Hopkins they
have a Shabbat elevator.

It stops on every floor.

No need to press a button.

What can you do?

Down?

Good Shabbos, Dr. Latham.

Shabbat shalom, Dr. Rhodes.
