Chicago Med (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - Inherent Bias - full transcript

Pack to you some of
the last night lasagna.

Mmh. Thank you babe.

- Okay.
- All right.

Yes.

Bye.

Wait. Almost forgot.

I bought you these.

Memory foam, on your feet all day.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Yeah.

Yes.



Yes...

what?

I'm sorry that it took so long,

but I do want to marry you.

I mean, if the offer still stands.

I've been sitting on this for months.

Just waiting.

- What?
- Yeah.

My God. It's beautiful.

Tate, yes!

Hey.

I thought you were
picking up an extra shift.

Yeah, I was hoping to, but Goodwin

put a moratorium on overtime.



I do not wanna go home right now

- and face Mandelbrot.
- What? Is your new roomie

still leaving toe nail
clippings on the couch?

Worse. Now he's doing
jumping jacks in the nude.

Okay, you really need a new roommate.

I can't make rent without him.

Well, hey, if worst comes to worst,

got plenty of beds down in the morgue.

Yeah.

Yeah, I bet you do.
I might take you up on that.

Have a good day.

Um, Dr. Halstead?

Yeah?

I, I don't mean to pry,

but it sounds to me like
you may be in need of

a little extra cash flow.

Now just hear me out for one sec.

I think I can help.

Dr. Manning, incoming, Trauma 3.

61 year-old male, BP 140/90, fever 101.

Called it in himself

but could hardly breathe
by the time we got there.

- Please...
- Sir, I need you to relax.

- Listen to me.
- Just try to relax, okay?

Listen to me!

All right, let's start a Neb treatment

and get 125 milligrams solumedrol IV.

Okay, got it.

And an ABG kit...

All right, let's transfer him.

On my count. Ready? One, two, three.

- Let's get it out.
- Let's get that Neb treatment.

Coming up.

Just try to relax, sir.

All right, I need you to take
a deep breath for me, okay?

There you go.

Do you have any family we should notify?

No... I need... I need
to speak to Sharon.

Deep breaths.

I need to speak to Sharon.

- Relax, relax.
- Sharon... Sharon...

- Take this in.
- McGee.

What did he say?

- Something about a Sharon.
- McGee. He said McGee.

That's Goodwin's maiden name.

Keep taking deep breaths, sir.

I had a fever and a
headache for the past week,

figured I had the flu.

Next thing I know, I
can't catch my breath.

- Any history of illness?
- Had a flare-up of colitis

a few months back.

Doctor put me on a course of steroids.

Reggie Dixon.

There she is.

Just like I remember.

It has been way too long.

It sure has.

Reggie and I grew up in
the same neighborhood.

Haven't seen each other since when?

The summer after my senior year

- in High School.
- That's right.

That's right. I'd just gotten back

- from Vietnam.
- That's right.

- You served?
- Sort of.

I... only thing I ever
shot was my Pentax 1000.

Aw. Reggie was a photographer with
"Stars and Stripes."

Now they said that you're having trouble

catching your breath?

Well, I can't say

you're making it any easier.

Stop it.

Mr. Dixon, um,
the doctor that put you on steroids...

Can you get us his information?

I can, but, he's in Paris.

- In Paris.
- Yeah, Reuters had me

stationed there,
and I transferred back here.

Time to start the next chapter.

And is there anyone we could call?

Are your folks still living?

How about a wife?

Never married. Never put down any roots.

Heard you were running
the show at this place,

so I told the dispatcher
to route me here.

Knew you'd have my back.

Yeah. You know that's right.

I'm glad you did.

Nurse Doris here's
gonna draw some blood

so we can order a few tests.

- I'll be right back.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

So what are we looking at here?

Well, he was on a course of steroids,

which could have weakened
his immune system.

We could be looking at
a respiratory infection.

We'll get a chest X-ray and start him on

broad spectrum antibiotics and
see what the labs say, Maggie.

Copy.

If you suspect anything,

run it down, and you let me
know the second you get results.

- Of course.
- Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

- Was it just me, or...
- No, she was

- definitely flirting.
- Yeah.

Please help.

April, what is wrong?

Please, my arm. It's killing me...

- What?
- From the weight of this.

What?

Look at the sparkle on that thing.

You are gonna need some sunglasses.

Congratulations, April.

- Congratulations.
- That is so pretty.

Thank you.

Hey, Mags, you see this thing?

It's hard to miss.

- Reese.
- So beautiful.

Treatment 2. Tried to assign him

to someone else,
but he said he would only talk to you.

Okay.

This is big.

Danny, what's wrong?

My stomach, it's tied up in knots.

Well, let's take a look.

Don't they have a clinic at the shelter?

I'm not at the shelter anymore.

What?

A woman came in with her newborn.

They said they needed the bed.

Told me I had to leave.

They kicked you out?

I spend the night on the street.

I barely slept.

Hey, can you close the curtain?

What's going on?

I don't want them to find me, I...

We took your tracking chip out.

They know that I was here.

Don't worry.

I'm gonna keep you safe.

Double iced latte with one
pump of sugar free vanilla.

For Robin.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, you just ordered
the exact same drink as me.

Vanilla?

A little dainty for a surgeon.

What are the odds?

Well, if you limit the
data set to just lattes,

you've got iced or no
iced, caff or decaf...

Don't forget the vanilla.

I'd say the odds of any
two random people ordering

the same thing are about 1 in 36.

Good with numbers.

Of course. Epidemiology.

Wait are you... Are you that Charles?

I'll see you later.

Okay, designed it
myself. With one swipe,

you get a board-certified
physician on your doorstep

within the hour.

- A house call app?
- I prefer medicinal concierge.

Look, I just launched the
beta and I already got

a write-up in TechCrunch.

Subscriber base is set to
explode within the next quarter.

And I've got a few residents on board,

but with an attending,
we can make a killing.

A killing making house calls.

How does $200 a call sound?

This is the future of
medicine. All right?

And you have the option to
get in on the ground floor,

without that annoying roommate.

Here's one right now.

A 23-year-old male with
a persistent nosebleed.

So what do you say?

Chicago P.D. dropped
her off this morning.

They found her loitering
outside of a convenience store,

jabbering to herself, disoriented,

no idea where she'd come
from or how she got there.

Pamela?

I'm Dr. Charles.

- You're not Bob.
- No.

But you can call me Daniel.

Um, do you mind if we ask
you a couple of questions?

Dr. Wheeler was thinking
that maybe you're feeling

a bit out of sorts.

Do you know why you're here?

I just wanted some ice cream, and...

You know what? I think I might be able

to help you out with that.

What flavor were you thinking?

- Cookie dough.
- Dang.

That's my favorite. Um...

You mind if I... If I look at your hand?

Boy.

You have really beautiful nails.

You know what, Pamela?

I'm gonna see what I can do
about that cookie dough, okay?

Okay.

Thanks.

I need a CBC,
CMP and you better page cardiology.

Why? I called you in
for a psych consult.

She's not psychotic,
she has endocarditis.

You didn't notice the fever?

The splinter hemorrhages
under her nails?

The cops said that she was
having a psychotic episode,

- so I just assumed that...
- An infection is attacking

her heart and sending
micro-strokes to her brain.

Okay, so we should
page cardiology, right?

You know what, Jason? I think I'm gonna

take this myself, but good work, really.

I mean it.

- Maggie?
- Already on it.

You know,
I was thinking it might be a good idea

to loop in epidemiology, you know?

Maybe Dr. Robin Charles?

Just to be safe.

Help, help, my bel... my belly!

My belly is on fire! It's on fire!

- Okay, okay.
- Help!

- God...
- He's got a rash.

It feels... It
feels like something's

alive in there.

It's not a rash.

Those are worms.

How the hell did I get worms?

Have you traveled recently to
any underdeveloped countries?

Anywhere tropical?

The south of France is as tropical

as I've gotten in the past 20 years.

What about before that?

You said you served with
"Stars and Stripes."

Did you do any time in country?

I was with the 7th Cav

when they took Quang Tri.

What, does that have
something to do with this?

What aren't they telling me?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I wanna get a stool sample.

- See what the labs say.
- Yeah.

Just try to rest, Mr. Dixon.

We'll be back soon.

So what were you driving at in there?

I think we're looking
at a parasitic roundworm

called strongyloides.

Seen a bunch of cases at the VA.

I'm guessing he picked it up in Vietnam.

But that was over 40 years ago.

The worms embed themselves
in the intestinal wall

and can remain dormant for decades.

The steroids he was on
to treat his colitis

must have suppressed his immune system,

allowing the larvae to proliferate.

So we put him on an anti-parasitic.

That should clear him up, right?

The worms have reached
the surface of his skin.

I'd say he's in a hyperinfective state.

Ms. Goodwin,

I'm sorry,
but most patients don't survive this.

I don't want you two
throwing in the towel

before we've even started.

Ms. Goodwin, we're just
presenting our medical opinion.

I don't want your opinion.
I want you to keep him alive.

So, what'd you find?

MRSA's definitely a possibility.

But it's hard to confirm
without a detailed history.

Is there any family we can talk to?

You know, so far, nobody that seems

to be in the picture,
but we're still trying.

Then I'll grow some cultures
and fill in the rest

of the puzzle myself.

Look, before you go, um,

your mom told me you just
broke up with your boyfriend.

- Wow.
- I'm sorry.

You keep canceling
coffee. We'll get to it.

- We'll get to it.
- Okay.

Look, it's so not a big deal,

but I got this thing in my office,

it's a pashmina scarf, you know?

It's been up there for a while.
We could go up and get it.

Thank you, Dad. But I really...

- I gotta get cracking on this.
- Of course you do.

Maybe later.

Kids.

People say the hardest
part is when they decide

they don't need you anymore.

- Yeah.
- Daniel? Daniel, Daniel.

Where... where are they taking me?

My friend, Dr. Berger... Alvin...

Is taking you upstairs for a quick test.

- Gonna take about five minutes.
- No, please,

please don't leave me, Daniel.

Please don't leave me.

Okay. All right.

Listen, Pamela, Dr. Berger... Alvin...

Really knows what he's doing.

And this is gonna literally
take about five minutes, okay?

Why don't I take you upstairs
and get you settled, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay, here we go.

So when did the bleeding start?

This morning.

Couldn't have come at a worse time.

I don't get 10,000 lines of code

written by the end of the week,

my VC's gonna pull our series B round.

Series B?

That's pre-IPO.

Besides the bleed,
anything else bothering you?

I've got this headache,

but that's probably
from staring at a screen

for the last 48 hours.

Any history of autoimmune disorders

- or cancer in the family?
- Nada.

Any past addiction, drug use?

Only thing I'm addicted to is my work.

Seen hundreds of bleeds in my day,

most of them from far
worse places than a nose.

Just try to relax, Eliot.

We're gonna get you all fixed up.

Protective custody?

We don't have a suspect,
much less an open investigation.

We legally can't protect
Danny unless he gives us

information about the
people who held him captive.

- So talk to him.
- I did. I tried.

I went to the shelter and
he wouldn't talk to me.

Well now he's gonna have to
sleep on the street tonight.

Are you okay with that?

- No, of course not.
- So...

Can we talk to him together?

'Cause maybe he'll
open up with me there.

- Let's give it a shot.
- Okay.

Did you ever hear any of them
call each other by a name?

Or a nickname?

Look, you don't have
to be afraid anymore.

You can help us catch them.

Detective Lindsay's our friend.

If you answer her questions,
she can keep you safe.

It might be a small detail you remember.

About the place that they kept you.

A landmark or any unusual sounds.

My stomach hurts.

I'm gonna let you rest, okay?

You can call me anytime.

I'll be right back, Danny.

He's not ready.

He's obviously terrified.

And I wish that I could help,

but my hands are tied here.

Let me know if he changes his mind.

- Okay.
- Good luck.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So Tate stepped up.

What made you finally
accept the man's proposal?

He's been so great through everything.

And now that it seems like

the TB's gonna remain inactive, I...

So you two resolved
all the other issues?

Issues?

You told me that he didn't
want you working anymore.

That... that was just one time.

You didn't discuss it?

How about his ex-wife?
Or you becoming a stepmom?

We talk about everything.

And I love him. I mean, you don't...

This is the happiest day of my life,

and you're pissing on it.

That's not what I'm doing.

You know what? Next time you feel

the need to weight in, don't.

What?

I thought I made it out of 'Nam alive.

I didn't know there was a
40-year delay on that grenade.

Don't talk like that, Reggie.

I'm a newsman.

Mordant humor comes with the job.

Do you remember that time
we watched the sun rise

- at Rainbow Beach?
- Yeah.

- Stayed up all night.
- All night.

It was good you brought
that flask of Hennessey

- to keep us warm.
- Corrupting a minor.

Indeed.

Listen, about when you left...

Shh.

We were just in different
places in our lives.

Chalk it up to bad timing.

I heard through the grapevine

that you got married.

I did. We had a good run.

But now we're separated.

I'm really sorry about that.

Maybe...

Maybe our timing

will be better this go-round.

Sharon.

Reggie?

Reggie?

I can't...

I need some help in here!

BP's diving. What happened?

Gastric hemorrhage.

Let's get him on the rapid transfuser.

Two of red cells, two of plasma

- and a five pack of platelets.
- I need an NG tube.

Got it.

Here, Nat.

Excuse me.

- I need cold saline.
- Yes, Doctor.

Reggie?

Reggie, stay with me, I'm here.

- It's not clearing.
- Start a PPI drip,

vasopressin and page GI.

We need to get control of this bleed.

On it.

GI's got his bleeding When
push comesunder control,

but his sats are down to 88.

His lungs are deteriorating.

- So what now?
- We'll see how he responds

to the inhaled nitric oxide.

He's on a PEEP of 10.
There's still room to increase.

If his sats don't improve,

we might consider a paralytic drip.

So we do still have some options.

Why don't we put him on ECMO?

I don't...
I don't want to speak for Dr. Choi,

but while putting him on
ECMO might protect his lungs,

it wouldn't be addressing
the inflammation

affecting the rest of his organs.

I agree. ECMO might
buy us a little time,

but it won't help him fight
off the hyperinfection.

So you're against it. Both of you.

- Yeah.
- That's right.

See what else you can come up with.

It'd be nice to get ahead of this thing

instead of always playing from behind.

Hey Dr. Charles,

I just got off the
phone with cardiology.

Your patient, Pamela,
they just confirmed,

- endocarditis.
- Hey, um,

they putting her on antibiotics?

No, the plan is to
remove the vegetations,

and reconstruct her aorta.

She's going into surgery now.

Surgery? Who authorized that?

Hey, Dr. Vanilla Latte.

I need to collect another
blood sample from Pamela.

I can't grow a decent culture.

I can do you one better. I can get you

- the infected valve itself.
- Great. I'm scrubbing in.

Once again we're in the same place

at the same time,
wanting the same thing.

Would you care to run that
through your calculator?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's going on here?

Evidently there's an issue with consent.

- Surgery's been cancelled.
- Cancelled by who?

By me.

Hey, Pamela.

Now I laid out everything for her.

I explained the risks, her alternative.

I have her signature right here.

- That scrawl?
- It doesn't matter if you

approve of her penmanship,
I have her consent.

Not her informed consent.

She's way too impaired to make
that kind of decision right now.

So you're gonna make
the decision for her?

We can't get the consent
that you're insisting on

without first performing surgery.

Sounds like a catch-22.

She needs the surgery.
It's urgent and necessary.

Of course you think
that, you're a surgeon.

- Your inherent bias is to cut.
- What about you, the shrink?

You don't have a bias?

Well I'm not afraid to
admit that I'm biased.

My job gets a lot easier
if I can get my hands

- on that infected valve.
- You know what?

Unfortunately, not
really open for debate.

Performing surgery without
actual informed consent

is by law, assault.

I mean, you should thank me, Doctor.

I'm trying to save you
a lot of legal bills.

Well, Dr. Charles,
I hope that when you're done

trying to prove a point,
I still have time to save her.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

I'm gonna need to remove that, okay?

All right. Do your thing, Doc.

Looks like
the bleeding subsided.

Hey, what do you call that thing again?

- A Rhino Rocket.
- Cool.

All right, what do I owe you?

- $350, flat rate.
- Sounds fair to me.

- You got a Square?
- Sure do.

Now before we finish up,
have you gone swimming lately?

Specifically in fresh water?

Yeah, I got a couple acres
lakeside up in Lake Geneva.

- Why?
- Yeah, I'd like to bring you

back to the ED with us for more tests.

Wait, the hospital?

Guys, I'm kinda busy here.

I thought we got this all fixed up.

We did, probably,
and I'm 95% sure it isn't serious.

- What isn't serious?
- Well there's an infection

I'd like to rule out, naeglariasis.

And that's extremely unlikely.

Excuse me, Dr. Halstead,
can I speak with you for a moment?

Excuse us.

Really,
you think he caught a warm water amoeba

in a Wisconsin lake in October?

Tell me it hasn't been
unseasonably hot lately.

And it would explain the
persistent nose bleeds.

But this app is about convenience.

Dragging our customers into the E.D.

cuts against the value
proposition, okay?

First rule of customer service:

a satisfied customer tells two people.

A dissatisfied one tells 2,000.

I minored in econ, Noah, I get it.

But surely what our customers
want above anything else

is to get better, no?

- Of course, but...
- Not to mention

if we suspect something
and don't test for it.

Talk about liability.

A brain-eating amoeba?

You really think I might have this?

You didn't find me

a place to stay.

No. Not yet.

I'm gonna recommend
admitting you for the night

if the pain in your
stomach doesn't subside.

My stomach's actually
feeling a little better.

If anyone asks,
just keep saying that it hurts.

...are you angry with me?

What?
No... no, I just want you to stay safe.

I'll, I'll check
back in with you soon.

I have... I have an idea.

I could stay at your place tonight.

If... if you're worried about me using,
then don't be.

I'm totally clean.

I... I could sleep on the couch.
Or the floor, even.

You'd hardly even know I was there.

Danny, I don't...

I get it.

- Never mind.
- No, no, no.

You just, you caught me off guard.

No, please, I've seen that look before.

You don't want someone like
me staying at your place.

- I'm trash.
- No.

The hospital has strict policies

about doctor-patient relationships,

and I'm just a first-year resident.

I will figure something out, okay?

Okay.

There you go.

Okay.

Okay, let's lift. Yep.

Hey, don't move him like that.

If you want him more upright,
adjust the bed.

- I'm sorry, Ms. Goodwin.
- I'll do it myself.

I'm gonna go check on
the latest blood gas.

I've never seen Goodwin
like this before.

Nat, all I know is that
when Sharon was graduating

from high school,
Reggie came back from 'Nam.

They practically spent the
entire summer together.

It was her first real love.

So why didn't it work out?

Well, Reggie wanted her to
travel the world with him.

But... but Sharon was going
to college in the fall.

And then Bert came
along and it was just...

If you had listened to me earlier,

we wouldn't be out of options.

- I'm sorry, Ms. Goodwin.
- What's going on?

The infiltrate's in Reggie's lungs.

- Complete white out.
- They're barely functioning.

- So what do we do now?
- Ms. Goodwin,

the condition his lungs are in,

there's very little hope for recovery.

We should try to make him comfortable.

- What about ECMO?
- I'm afraid all ECMO will do

is delay the inevitable.

I have been listening
to your advice all day,

and look where we are.

Ms. Goodwin,

all due respect, both Dr. Manning and I

are telling you that
it isn't gonna help.

Your concerns are noted, Dr. Choi.

Put him on ECMO.

I can assign this case
to another doctor,

- if you prefer.
- Sharon.

- We'll do it.
- What?

We will put Reggie on ECMO.

Call up to the ICU.

I'll take care of the
arrangements myself.

- Thank you, April.
- Yeah.

Hey, what did Dr.
Halstead order in there?

CBC, metabolic panel, a urinalysis,

- sed rate and a head CT.
- Man.

Can we scale that back?

Or is there some kind
of employee discount

I'm eligible for?

It's not coming out
of your pocket, is it?

It's gonna come out of somebody's.

Well, talk to Will about it.

I already tried.

You know, why'd I think
it'd be a good idea

to hire my attending, you know?

How am I gonna be his boss

when he knows more about
medicine than I do?

It looks like he's getting
along with your client

- really well.
- We'll see.

I've gotta work on my managerial skills.

Wait a second. Is that...

- Yeah.
- Yeah!

This is... this is huge.

No, what is he up to now?

Um, let's celebrate later, okay?

- Okay.
- All right.

- Ooh!
- Excuse me, sorry.

April, listen. About earlier, sorry.

- Don't worry about it.
- Okay.

No, really.

It's not the first time my
mouth's gotten me into trouble.

I shouldn't have said anything.

I was just trying to protect you.

I've had so long to think about this,

and what Tate and I have is real.

Well, okay. In that
case, if you need anyone

to go dress shopping
with, I'm available.

Danny wants to stay at your place.

- Yeah.
- Well, I mean,

makes perfect sense, right?

I mean,
now that he's free of the traffickers,

there's this big void in his life,

which he wants to fill with you.

Obviously, it can't be entertained.

Then again, rejecting him
now could just be reinforcing

the abandonment issues
he's already feeling.

Wait.

Did you come here to ask my permission?

The system's incapable of
keeping a roof over his head.

We can't let him sleep on the streets,
it's too dangerous.

- It'd be just for the one night.
- Dr. Reese,

having a patient stay in your home?

Maintaining professional boundaries

is a fundamental part of our work.

Again, to protect both our patients...

I'm sorry,
but I don't see any other options.

Sarah.

Sarah!

- Sarah.
- Hey, does this look like

- it'll fit Danny?
- I guess... listen, about Danny...

Could you do me a favor?
See if they have any

extra blankets in the store room,
I wanna take some home.

- Where is he?
- I'm sorry,

I tried to stop him,
but he was so desperate

to get out of here.

Did he say where he was going?

Just said that he was going
back where he belongs.

He's gone.

I never should have hesitated.

I knew it wouldn't help and so did you.

I figured we had safety in numbers.

I know.

But if we'd had an alternative
plan to save his life,

yeah, I would've held firm with you.

But we didn't.

So we tried the Hail Mary.

And Goodwin knows that we did
everything we could for her.

For her?

Goodwin's not our patient, Reggie is.

Right now, he's suffering.

Best thing we could've done for him

is to let him die with dignity.

Ms. Goodwin?

You here to tell me my options?

I just wanted to know
if you needed anything.

No. I'm fine.

Okay.

What is about

first love that just...

Sticks with you?

It's like... it's like

those last 40 years

don't even exist.

One day he's saying goodbye to me,
and the next,

he's showing up here on a gurney.

Reggie Dixon.

These machines aren't gonna save him.

- No.
- No.

Yeah.

Excuse me, Ms. Goodwin?

I've collected two signatures.

One from my attending, Dr. Latham.

The other from Dr. Walters,
Director of Cardiology.

I don't care if you have 200 signatures,

it doesn't change the fact
the patient is too impaired

to consent to a high-risk surgery.

They were both willing
to sign their names

to the opinion that
Pamela's surgery is indeed

both urgent and necessary.

This is a blatant end around.

It's just legal cover to keep
us all from getting sued.

Am I actually the only
person who's got this girl's

- best interests at heart?
- Are you sure the surgery

- is the best course of action?
- Yes.

And you're confident you can fix it?

- I am.
- Then go do it.

Thank you, Ms. Goodwin.

Wait, wait, wait.
Are you kidding me, Sharon?

You're gonna let a couple of surgeons

tell you who's mentally competent?

I'm the Chief Psychiatrist
in the building.

It's a double doc.
That overrides you, Daniel.

So we're just running this
hospital by majority rule, now?

No, no, no. But after the day I've had,

I'm wary of challenging
the collective wisdom

- of our doctors.
- Okay, okay.

So let's just set the
law aside, for now.

Are we abandoning the ethical
argument altogether as well?

It's done, Daniel.

If you want to file a complaint,
be my guest.

Kaplan, Eliot, good news.

Test came back negative.
You don't have naeglariasis.

My brain's not being eaten by an amoeba.

I guess that's a good thing.

Yeah.

We're all about customer satisfaction.

Okay, so all in, it comes to comes to

$2,134.68.

You told me it would be $350.

Well, there was the,
um, the blood panel.

Urinalysis, CT Scan.

It's all in our terms and conditions.

No, wait a minute. You're upcharging me

for something I don't even have.

Well it's a good thing
we ran those tests.

We did find your liver function
markers slightly elevated.

Now a good excuse to cut
back on your alcohol intake.

Now you're telling me I'm an alcoholic.

Just get me out of here. Okay?

Okay, um.

Would you like me to
email you the receipt?

See that?

Congratulations. You
just went anti-viral.

I didn't expect that.

I thought he'd be relieved.

Yeah, it's...it's hard.

Concierge patients.

You know,
you were just trying to be thorough.

Yeah, thanks. Listen, Noah,
I appreciate the opportunity,

but maybe this just isn't for me.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that.

I... if I'm leaving you in a tight spot,

I can stay on until you find someone...

No, no.

I appreciate it, but I...
I think I can handle it.

Pamela?

Pamela Blake. How you doing?

I just came to

see how everything was going.

- Much better, thank you.
- Great.

I'm really glad to hear it.

I'm sorry, you are?

I'm Dr. Charles. Daniel.

We, um, we met earlier today
when you got to the hospital.

You remember?

Yeah. Right, yeah.

Yeah. Okay, well,
I'm happy to see you're doing so well.

Glad to see she's finally coming around.

Yeah.

We're gonna have to agree
to disagree on this one,

- aren't we?
- Yeah, we can just

disagree, too, that'd be all right.

Hey Connor, the lab ID'd the bacteria

from her infected valve.

Q fever?

She works on a dairy farm
down-state on weekends.

I'm heading down to the
cafeteria to write up my report

for the health department.

If you're free, I was hoping you might

help me fill in a few details.

Yeah,
I just have to sign over a few patients.

I'll, um,

- meet you down there in ten?
- Great.

You wanted to know why I
broke up with my boyfriend.

He was too soft. He rolled
over every time we had a fight.

But that guy, though. Oof.

Anyway, I better get downstairs.

See you later?

Are you ready?

Time of death, 20:53.

Hey, hear anything
from Detective Lindsay?

- Not yet.
- Hang in there.

The kid's a survivor. PD will find him.

I'm not just gonna sit
around and do nothing.

Well you're gonna go
out looking for him?

Come on, Sarah, it's a big city.

Sarah.

Give me a minute.

I'll come with you.

- He offered me stock options.
- Stock options?

- And you turned him down?
- Yeah, I know.

I'm kind of kicking myself a little,

but it's not for me.

I'll figure out another
way to make some cash.

Well, or just save some.

- How about you move in with me?
- Lena, come on.

I appreciate the offer, but if I'm gonna

move in with you,
I don't want it to be because of money.

It's not about the money.

It's because I really think

this has a chance to work.

So what do you say?

I am so happy for you guys.

- It's $8.50.
- Thanks.

- Thank you.
- Let me give you a hand.

All right.

Hey, April, you okay?

You sure?

Hey, hey, hey.

April, you're burning up.

- Sorry.
- All right, thank you.

Thank you.
