Chicago Med (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - Nothing to Fear - full transcript

Dr. Manning goes to extremely measures to help a fearful pregnant woman whose baby is severely underdeveloped. April is angered by Dr. Choi when he uses their personal relationship as ...

Damn it!

What's going on?

I put too much damn salt on the rub.

I got to get it out.

Honey, it's 4:30 in the morning.

Yeah, and if the meat loses its juices,

it's gonna be all dry and burnt.

Sweetie, I... I...

I feel like this might be one
of those anxiety attacks

that Dr. Reese said you might have.

It's not because of my condition.



It's because I put too
much damn salt...

Whoa! Okay, okay, okay.

Let me help you.

Why don't you start
measuring out another rub?

Excuse me. Yeah... whoa.

Excuse me.

Okay. Excuse me.

Dr. Rhodes, you're late.

I know. I am sorry.

I understand you're
under additional stress

at home lately, but please try
not to make this a habit.

I assure you I will not.

Dr. Rhodes, your CT patient's here.

You're going to 1.



Jerry Willis, 54, called 911

with shortness of
breath and tachycardia.

BP 110 over 60, rate 120,

satting at 89% on five liters 02.

Mr. Willis, what are you
doing back here so soon?

I've been having trouble breathing.

It started a few days after I left.

What trouble are we talking about?

Coughing. He's wheezing.
It's been getting worse.

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

All right.

And one, two, three.

I replaced his aortic
valve two weeks ago.

Any intraoperative difficulties?

- None.
- Cardiac comorbidities?

Nothing notable, no.

Austin Flint murmur.
The valve is leaking.

That's impossible.

Maybe you're hearing tricuspid stenosis

or a subclinical MI.

Is it possible you
misoriented the valve?

Obstructed one of the leaflets?

No. I remember it very clearly.

Surgery went off without a hitch.

- We should order an echo?
- What?

What's wrong? Aortic insufficiency.

The valve is definitely leaking.

But you just replaced it.
How could it leak?

I don't know. It doesn't
make any sense.

I...

Maybe Dr. Rhodes made a mistake.

- Morning.
- Good morning.

Hi.

Whoa. Is that what you're
planning on wearing tonight?

It's a brandnew Chiara Boni.

I mean... nah, I mean
it's probably fine.

I mean if you think it's fancy enough

for the corner table at Alinea.

Are you kidding?

That's like the toughest
reservation in town.

"GQ" says 97% of relationships

are decided on the first date.

Now you're getting your
dating advice from "GQ"?

Natalie, these are hard numbers.

I'm just citing the research.

I honestly don't know what happened.

Go back over your notes. Try
to learn from your error.

I will, and I'll get him
preop'd for a redo.

That will not be necessary.

Between the adhesions and
further procedural stress,

reopening his heart
is simply too risky.

We'll manage him with
medications instead.

But if we don't fix the valve,

his quality of life is gonna suffer.

I understand, but at this point,

it's our best option.

Any plans tonight?

Still got that chili.

- You want to join?
- No way.

Is the sushi place on
the corner still open?

Why can't you just be nice?

I can be nice.

Hold that thought.

Daniel. You're looking more rested.

Doing my best. What's the word?

The board is deciding whether
to put metal detectors

at all the hospital entrances.

So I have to go prepare
my recommendation.

Which way you leaning?

Toward yes.

Really?

Doesn't that kind of fly in the face

of being a trusted
community institution?

You know, putting up barriers
between us and the people

that we're trying to help?

One of those people shot
you in the gut, Daniel.

Yeah, outside the hospital.

What kind of detector's
gonna stop that?

- Dr. Reese.
- Dr. Charles.

So, Nurse Sexton,

- who do we got next?
- Henry Lee.

He's a sweetheart, comes in every month

for his heart failure meds.

Mr. Lee, I'm Dr. Choi.
How are you doing today?

A lot better now that my girl's here.

She does have that effect on people.

Any new complaints?

Nope. Just got to get my meds.

Take a deep breath.

One more.

How much Lasix does he usually get?

That sounds good.

But I'm also hearing some
dullness near your lung base.

I'd like to send you for an Xray.

Thanks, Doc, but if it's all the same,

I'd rather just get my meds and go.

Mr. Lee, I hear what you're saying,

but I prefer to be thorough.

Nah, let's just stick to the usual.

Hey, can you do the IV
in my left hand today?

I got a good puffy one.

- She never misses.
- You got it.

I really would like that Xray.

I bet he'd listen to you.

Why? You think there's
something else going on?

I don't know. Probably not,

but it's impossible to say.

Okay, I'll try.

Thank you.

So I've got a 43yearold
woman who passed out

at a Starbucks from hypoglycemia.

Now, that's normal, right?

But then her blood came
back showing insulin

with a high Cpeptide count.

So she gave herself too much insulin.

Right, but here's the thing:

She is not diabetic.

Wait... so wait a minute.

She somehow got her hands on insulin,

then injected it into herself?

Why would she do that?

I don't know. That's why I called you.

- Okay, I'll try to find out.
- All right, cool, thank you.

Actually, um...

Okay, so you know how
I've been hounding you

about getting a drink
one night after work?

- I'm familiar with it, yes.
- Okay, well, I promise

it's all going to stop.

Right after you get a
drink with me tonight.

Come on, Noah,
couldn't we just stick

to being colleagues?

Sure.

A drink as colleagues.

Okay.

Ms. Lake, I'm Dr. Reese
from Psychiatry.

Of course you are.

- It's nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

I understand that you may
have injected yourself

with insulin today.

I did.

Can you tell me why?

Today's the court hearing.

For my divorce.

It just snuck up on me.

I mean, I've been dreading
it for months, but

when I woke up today and
realized that this is it...

Did you try to harm yourself?

No, no, no.

I don't want to die.

I just couldn't face the day.

So let me understand.

You made yourself pass out on purpose?

I panicked.

I did something stupid.

And now I'm wasting your time.

I'm sorry.

Speaking of which, could you
write a note for the judge?

Just something saying I
had a medical emergency.

I am sorry, but I can't do that.

It doesn't have to be anything big.

Handwritten on a letterhead is fine.

The thing is, you didn't
have an emergency.

You caused it.

So it would be disingenuous
for me to say otherwise.

I'd like to speak with your supervisor.

Excuse me?

I'm seeing a doctor, now
I need a doctor's note.

And if you can't do that,
then get me your supervisor.

Um. Okay.

You look like you need
this more than I do.

I'm fine.

Sure.

Hair's a mess, bags under your eyes.

You look great.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You work our schedule then go home

to a girlfriend who's
basically your patient too.

Something like this
was bound to happen.

Really? Is that so?

At least it hasn't affected
your sunny disposition.

Keep up the good work.

Dr. Halstead,

You're going to 3. Doris.

Talk to me, Chout.

Julie Dutra, 34, pregnant,

para one gravita zero,
fainted in a yoga class,

in Afib at 150, BP 90 over 60.

Hi, Julie, I'm Dr. Manning.
This is Dr. Halstead.

I told them I don't want to be here.

Hopefully this won't take long.

On my count. One, two, three.

Julie. Are you okay?

- I'm fine, just call Mira.
- Our midwife.

I think Julie would be more
comfortable at home with her.

Sir, your wife's in
a dangerous arrhythmia.

We can't let her go until
we get it under control.

Do you have any history
of heart disease?

No, I don't eat red meat, and I keep

a high antioxidant profile
to minimize inflammation.

Okay, good.

Let's get an EKG,
cardiac labs, CBC, CMP,

coags and a U/A, and let's
start 5 of verapamil IV, okay?

No, no medications.

This one's safe for pregnancy.

If we don't control your
arrhythmia it could

- put the baby in danger.
- Is that true?

- Scott.
- What?

We don't want anything bad to happen.

Okay, fine, but then we're leaving.

Thank you. All right.

Let me ask you a few more questions.

- Wait, what are you doing?
- Just a quick fetal

- ultrasound.
- No, get that thing off me.

Acoustic radiation impairs
neurodevelopment.

That's not actually true.

Note that the fetus measures

normal size and weight for five months.

Wait, what did you say?

That this looks like a
normal fivemonth pregnancy.

Measure it again.

I'm sure of the numbers.

Well, you're wrong. Measure it again.

See?

Totally normal for five months.

Except I'm not five months pregnant.

I'm eight.

Julie's labs.

Anemia, vitamin deficiencies,

all the signs of early kidney failure.

And no family history
of troubled pregnancies

or genetic conditions.

Maybe a malabsorption syndrome?

Ms. Dutra.

Have you ever had any
gastrointestinal issues?

Crohn's, ulcerative colitis?

I used to have leaky gut.

At first we thought
it was just lactose,

but of course it was more
complicated than that.

I see, and were you
seeing someone for this?

My nutritionist.

She got me off lecithin
and phytic acid.

It helped some,

but then once I got pregnant
I had to give up all GMOs

and anything that wasn't
locally sourced, too.

So what do you eat?

Certain strains of
Swiss chard, broccoli.

Sometimes I'll have a
cup of adzuki beans.

But she supplements a lot.

Selenium, coenzyme Q.

You eat three meals a day? More? Less?

I do portion control to
manage the baby's glucose.

700 to 800 calories a day. Why?

We suspect the difficulties
with this pregnancy

are being caused by your diet.

That can't be. I only eat organic.

But you're not getting
enough protein or iron.

And we're seeing the effects
it's having on your baby.

We need to start aggressive
IV nutrition to help it grow

as much as possible before you deliver.

If we admit you to Obstetrics now we...

No.

I understand that you
don't want to be here,

but at this point it is... No.

You're not giving me IV food.

Your baby is severely malnourished.

No, my baby is getting

healthy farmtotable nutrients.

You're not gonna pump him
full of toxins and chemicals.

- Ms. Dutra...
- I said no.

Your arrhythmia hasn't resolved yet.

We'll be back in a
minute to check on you.

She's starving that baby to death.

We need to talk to Goodwin.

Mr. Lee, we got your
Xray results back.

Great. So I can get out of here?

Actually, they show bilateral
pleural effusions,

fluid surrounding your lungs.

- Is that bad?
- It's hard to say.

It could just be from
your heart failure.

Either way, it's not making
your breathing any easier.

I'd like to have Radiology remove it

with a needle aspiration.

You want to stick a needle in my lung?

- Yes.
- But I'm breathing fine now.

- I'd rather just go.
- I understand, but doing this

will let you go longer
between treatments.

I think it's a good idea.

Don't you agree?

I don't know. Um...

The effusions are pretty small.

True, but it also wouldn't
hurt to send the fluid

out for analysis, just
to be sure, right?

I suppose.

So, Henry, what do you say?

You really think this is a good idea?

Okay.

We'll get you over there right away.

Are you sure you want
to be this aggressive?

I want to cover all the bases, yeah.

Henry's not a very healthy man.

He doesn't do so well with procedures.

I hear you, but medically, it's
the best course of action.

I don't think it is.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

What you should be sorry
about is thinking

that I would agree with you in there

just because we're sleeping together.

That has nothing to do with it.

I thought you'd agree because
that's my medical opinion.

Well, you were wrong.

The next time you want to put me

on the spot in front of
my patient, think again.

Hey.

April.

You want to feed a patient
against her will.

A pregnant mother who's
killing her baby.

We believe she has something
called orthorexia,

an obsession with healthy
living that has limited

her diet so severely that
it's become dangerous.

And has led to a pathologic distrust

of the entire medical system.
She won't let us do anything.

Well, is she delusional?

Can she make decisions on her own?

No, she's very clear about

what she wants and what
she does not want.

Well, then we can't prove incompetence,

and we can't force her to do anything

to her body she doesn't want.

The law sides with her.

But there are two patients here.

Yeah, one of whom has no control

over what's being done to it.

This is child abuse.

Well, I can convene an
emergency ethics committee.

It's possible they may find grounds

to override her decision.

And in the meantime?

See if you can find a way
to help her trust us.

Dr. Latham. We should do the surgery.

- Dr. Rhodes...
- No, I... I

looked over all my notes.

Okay? Mr. Willis' anatomy is good.

We owe him a chance to get this right.

We owe him our best clinical judgement.

Yes, I was inside of his heart.

He's got more than enough
healthy muscle and vasculature.

I'm telling you he can handle it.

Have you had more than
four hours' sleep

this last several weeks?

I am a cardiothoracic fellow.

Sleep deprivation is part of the job.

I understand that.

But you have a lot on your plate.

Dr. Bekker and I will
take the case from here.

No, Dr. Latham, that's not necessary...

Dr. Rhodes, you have a phone call.

Tell them I'll call them back.

I'm sorry. It's your landlord.

He says it's an emergency.

Excuse me. Hey. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Robin. Robin.

Hey, are you okay?

I forgot the brisket in
the oven when I went

to the store, and then
all the alarms went off.

- I'm just such an idiot.
- Come here, come here.

- Come here.
- Hey, Otis, when are we

gonna get that thing shut down?

- She okay?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Don't worry. It could
happen to anybody.

Shouldn't be more than a half hour.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

- No need to be sorry.
- You know what I mean.

The more time you spend with her,

the less we have to see people
who actually need our help.

I don't know.

I'm not quite sure we're...

We're done with Ms. Lake yet.

Why? She just wants to use
us to game the system.

Well, so do a lot of patients.

We're not gonna let her.

But the question is,
why is she doing it?

Wait, you still think
this is a psych case?

Why wouldn't I?

I mean, she exhibited some
pretty extreme behavior

- this morning, didn't she?
- To get out of a court date.

Well, perhaps, but until we figure out

what's behind the behavior,

we haven't really done
our job, have we?

- I guess.
- Good.

Keep me in the loop.

Your heart isn't
responding to the meds.

If things keep going in this direction,

we may need to consider
an emergency Csection

to take the extra load off your heart.

Drug me up then cut me open? No way.

That's not what we want either,

but we do need to protect
you and your baby.

That's why in the meantime,
if you allow us to give you

- some IV nutrition...
- No way.

Those bags offgas BPAs.

Look, you don't get it.

This baby is being formed
from every single molecule

that enters my body.

It is my job to keep
it absolutely pure.

That is how I'm protecting it.

- They understand that.
- No, they don't.

Excuse us.

Please tell me you have some good news.

I'm afraid not.

The committee ruled
that we can't intervene

against her wishes, not even
for the sake of the baby.

So that's it?

We just have to watch as
she lets the baby die?

If that's what she chooses to do.

But that's not what she wants.

She wants to help her baby.

She's just confused about how to do it.

I'm sorry. Our hands are tied.

What happened?

Satts are at 78 and dropping.

He's in pulmonary edema.

Get him on BiPAP and 40 of Lasix.

He's my patient.

Sublingual nitro, IV nitroprusside

and ready an intraaortic balloon pump.

- What's happening?
- The leak in your valve

is causing fluid to back
up into your lungs.

BiPAP's at 100%. Balloon pump is here.

What's that?

It's a pump that we
can implant directly

into his aorta to take the
strain off of his heart.

Meds are in. Still satting at 78.

So, then he's hooked up
to a machine forever?

Possibly if his heart doesn't
respond to the medications.

- My God.
- Betadine.

- Hold on.
- Dr. Rhodes...

Give the meds a minute to work.

We may not have a minute.

Look.

Your sats are coming up.

We'll hold off for now.

Give him 1.25 of enalapril
IV and another 40 of Lasix.

Mr. Dutra. Hi.

I need you to talk to your wife.

She won't listen to me.

But you do understand this
has gotten out of hand.

Of course I do.

I mean, all she thinks about is how

uric acid and compromised soil

are infecting everything we eat.

What do I say to that?

Well, how did you
handle it in the past?

It wasn't this bad before.

I mean, she's always struggled

with anxiety and control issues.

Even when she got pregnant,

it's like she turned the
dial straight to 11.

Nothing's pure enough anymore.

Everything looks like baby poison.

But there has to be
something you can say

to get her to let us help.

I am so scared my wife and
my baby are gonna die.

Can't you do something?

So you think I avoid
conflict to protect myself?

I think it is a possibility.

And you think that's a pattern.

Yes, a destructive one
from the sounds of it.

I can't believe I didn't see it.

I will get your discharge
paperwork started.

Looks like you had a
little breakthrough.

I... I think she sees
that she has some issues

and that it will be worthwhile

for her to seek some longterm therapy.

Sounds like a good start.

I, um... I was wrong about her, Dr.
Charles.

Thank you for making me stick with her.

Dr. Choi.

Pulse ox is down to 82.

No breath sounds on the left.

He's got pneumothorax.

Get a chest tube, 26 French.

I can't breathe.

I'm afraid your lung's collapsed.

Radiology must've nicked
it during the tap.

You're kidding me.

I'm so sorry, Henry.

I need to insert a
tube between your ribs

to reinflate your lung.

Do you understand, Mr. Lee?

Lidocaine.

Henry, I'm just gonna lift your arm.

You're gonna feel a sting.

Just breathe.

It's okay. We're gonna
get you through this.

All I wanted was my damn medicine.

I know.

Then why'd you let him do this to me?

I was fine.

God.

It feels like your
stabbing me with a knife.

Breathe.

Put him on suction, get
a portable chest Xray,

gram of cefazolin, a
milligram of morphine

and dress it with xeroform.

At this point I'm gonna
have to admit you, Mr. Lee.

Probably for several days.
I'm very sorry.

I'll check back on him soon.

I'm sorry.

What the hell are you trying to do me?

Please, Ms. Dutra, let me explai...

- I told you no food!
- Just one second.

- What's going on?
- I need you to calm down,

- okay? Please.
- She put this in my IV

- behind my back.
- Ms. Dutra, wait.

Glucose, amino acids.

You did this?

- Ms. Dutra.
- Julie.

- Ms. Dutra, just relax.
- Julie!

Ms. Dutra, we need to
get you back into bed.

Get her away from me.

Get her away from me!

I need some help here.

All right, easy.

Relax, I have her.

Let's get her back up.

Dr. Reese.

Your patient in 1's waiting
for his prescription.

Okay.

Hey, have you seen my pad?

Have you seen my prescription pad?

- No.
- No?

I couldn't have lost it.

I always put it back in
my pocket, always...

Hey, do you still need
that note for the judge?

No, it's fine, my lawyer
actually took care of it.

Good. Could you
please open your purse?

- I'm sorry?
- I can't find

my prescription pad. I
want to check your purse.

I don't know why you
think it'd be in there.

Because you decided to
forge the judge a note

and you took it from my
pocket when you hugged me.

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Hey! Give me that!

So what's this?

You have no right. You're
gonna pay for this!

- Ma'am!
- I am gonna make you pay!

- Hey! Hey.
- Ma'am, step away now!

She assaulted me. She...
she put that in my purse.

Okay, everybody calm down.

Dr. Reese.

What happened in there?

She stole my pad.

That's a felony.

She has been lying to
us from the start.

Of course she has.

Lying, manipulating.

Behaving recklessly with no
regard for herself or others.

- Exactly.
- No.

Not exactly.

Look, off the top of my head,

probably a sociopath,

but that makes your job exploring that

and trying to help her.

Not punishing her.

But all she did from the
moment she got here

was try to manipulate
us and waste our time.

Because she's mentally ill.

No. No, it's because
people like you let her.

- People like me?
- Yes.

Yes, you enable and you make excuses

and you give out psychiatric diagnoses

so that no one has to be held
accountable for their actions

just like you did with
the guy that shot you.

You feeling any better?

A little bit.

Good.

If there's anything that you need,

Dr. Latham and Dr. Bekker are
gonna be taking care of you

from here on out, okay?

Dr. Rhodes.

Am I gonna be like this forever?

Things will get better once
they optimize your meds.

But I'll always be coming back
here for something, right?

There's no way to go back to how I was?

It is possible to redo
your valve surgery.

It comes with significant risks.

You could end up with an
even worse leak than before.

You could even die.

But it could work.

I could go back to normal?

Dr. Latham is the best
this hospital's got.

I promise he's gonna
take great care of you.

This is why I didn't want
to do the lung test.

- Still the right call.
- No, you don't know that.

- You don't know him...
- But I know

what heart failure looks
like, and this just

- seems like something else.
- I've been treating

Henry for years. This
is what he looks like.

I'm not asking for a second opinion.

You don't want my opinion.

Just because I don't
have an MD after my name

doesn't mean I don't know
what's best for my patient.

April, as the doctor, I'm responsible.

I have to do what I think is right.

Both of you, in there. Now.

This has to stop.

Do you need another nurse
on your case, Dr. Choi?

- No.
- Excuse me.

Why didn't you ask me
if I need a new doctor?

- April.
- He's just as much

my patient as he is Dr. Choi's.

I don't know what's going
on between the two of you,

but if you don't stop
disturbing my E.D.,

I'm gonna separate you for good.

Do you understand?

Clear.

Good.

Carry on.

You're very lucky her
husband convinced her

not to pursue action against
you or the hospital.

Ms. Goodwin, I'm sorry.

I expect better from you, Dr. Manning.

Nat, wait.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

I'm really not interested.

I understand.

You didn't trust us before.

You certainly have no
reason to trust us now.

Then we finally agree on something.

Julie.

Fearing for your baby's safety

is the most natural thing in the world.

When I was pregnant,

I lost my husband.

I was afraid of a lot of things.

And then one day, after I had my son,

I was up in a highrise
building on the balcony

and suddenly had this
vivid image of myself

falling over the railing.

And my first thought was,
what would happen to my son

if I wasn't here for him?

And the craziest part is, my
favorite thing in the world

had always been Ferris
wheels and roller coasters

and being up in the air.

But from that day on,

I had this totally
irrational fear of heights.

It is really scary being
solely responsible

for that tiny, defenseless
person inside of you.

But you are letting your fear win.

And it's gonna end badly.

Anyway...

I am sorry.

I just got the analysis
of Henry's lung tap.

Nonsmallcell lung cancer?

You were right to do the tap.

That's not important.

What matters now is that
he needs to be told,

and I think it would be best
if he hears it from you.

You've treated him
longer than anyone here.

You know him better than anyone here.

Why is Mr. Willis insisting on surgery?

Despite my explicit recommendations

- to the contrary?
- Dr. Latham, I...

Did you go behind my back?

No, he asked if he had options.

So I told him. I, in
no way, suggested...

You've shown extremely poor
decisionmaking today.

From this point on, you are
not to step foot in the O.R.

until I deem you ready to return.

- Do you understand?
- You're benching me?

For the foreseeable future. Yes.

Dr. Halstead.

Her heart rate's too high and
her pressure's dropping.

Baby's heart rate's down to 90.

My chest hurts.

Your arrhythmia is
escalating out of control.

Push 10 milligrams of diltiazem stat

and up her 02 to 6 liters.

We need to do a Csection.
We have to get the baby out.

No.

Julie, I know you don't trust me,

but your baby is in real danger.

- 84.
- Julie, let them do it.

I can't.

Julie, if you don't let us do this,

your baby is going to die.

- Okay, do it.
- Thank you.

Call O.B. and tell them we're coming up

for a crash Csection, now!

You heard her. Let's move.

I'm not seeing any cause for the leak.

- Pickups.
- Pickups.

Are any of the leaflets
impinged in the ventricle?

No, they're opening freely, and
the orientation is correct.

- So what do we do?
- Resuture the valve.

Won't give us much room to work,

but I don't see where we have a choice.

It's the valve.

It's the valve.

Dr. Rhodes, no one asked
for your opinion.

It's a brandnew valve.
That's ridiculous.

The leaflets must be asymmetrical.

That would cause a large
enough opening for the blood

to keep leaking back through.

It does seem that they're
not closing properly.

Really? They gave us a bad valve?

It appears so.

Dr. Rhodes, go change your clothes.

I'd like you to scrub in for
the remainder of the surgery.

- How are you feeling?
- I'm okay.

What are they putting in him?

Proteins, carbohydrates, fats.

He needs them to grow.

You paged about a consult?

Yeah. Yeah.

Um...

50something guy, postop after
getting shot by a patient.

Is this a joke?

No. I'm serious.

Give me your clinical
evaluation of my recovery.

No residual anger or fear.

Normal intellectual and
emotional functioning.

You seem like you have moved on.

Yeah.

And you should too.

Excuse me?

I'm just wondering if today
was less about your patient

and more about lingering
fears for our safety.

It is certainly true

that a very few patients
can be dangerous.

But the overwhelming majority are...

harmless and in fact very
grateful for our help.

Only they can't get that help
if you come to work scared.

I'm not scared.

This is not an accusation, Doctor.

I just want you to know
that every psychiatrist

goes through this at
some point or another.

And then it passes.

And it'll pass for you, too.

Seems the hospital changed
valve manufacturers

several weeks ago.

This particular company didn't bother

to conduct any human testing.

And they can do that?

All they have to do is prove

that it performs the same
function as a previous device.

Unbelievable.

Well...

Good night, Dr. Latham.

When surgeons burn out, it
always starts with stress.

Then a call goes the wrong
way, an unlucky result.

And they get in their own heads,

and that's when the hesitation starts,

the unsteady hands.

And once you're there,

it's a very hard road back.

Are you okay, Dr. Rhodes?

Yes. I am.

Then you continue to
have my full confidence.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

This isn't gonna be easy, is it?

No, it's not.

Though, you know what would help?

- Big pot of chili.
- Sushi?

- I'll see you later.
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How'd that metal
detector thing turn out?

I changed my mind.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I saw a woman today who
almost killed her baby

because she didn't trust us.

And I thought,

"How can we encourage
people to trust us more

if we don't show them trust first?"

Couldn't agree more.

- Well, good night.
- All right, see you tomorrow.

Dr. Reese, Dr. Sexton.

Check it out.

Someone slashed her tires.

You still think patients are harmless?

She did this.

Yes, I'm still here.

I'm sorry you don't
even get a real meal

after the day you have had.

A little vegetarian
living never hurt anybody.

Well, I'm sorry that you
have to put up with...

all of this.

I promise it will be better soon.

I know.

It's almost 9:00.

Aren't we gonna miss our reservation?

Maybe.

So then what are we doing here?

What?

No. No, no, no. No way..

Hey, you're not gonna
let fear win, are you?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Aw, come on.

Just one ride.

Will, no.

Natalie, I'm gonna be next
to you the whole time.

Trust me.
