ER (1994–2009): Season 1, Episode 25 - Everything Old Is New Again - full transcript
It's Carter's last day in the ER and finally fed up with Dr. Benton's apparent indifference, rejoices when he learns that he gets to write an appraisal on him. He subsequently regrets his negative input when he gets offered the su...
Carter. Carter!
‐ Carter, wake up!
‐ Yeah.
GSW to the head,
coming in.
Benton's in surgery,
and Greene's got an MI.

‐ What?
Let's go!
Oh, god.
Ouch! Ow!
(male #1)
'Put a .357 in his mouth
and pulled the trigger.'
'It isn't pretty.'
Two large bore IVS,
15 liters O‐2.
‐ BP 80 over 50, pulse 56
‐ Ready? One, two, three!
‐ Blood loss?
‐ At least a liter.
Where is Benton?
Still up with that knife wound.
Hey we need a doctor
in here!
There's no gray matter
up here.
Pupils mid‐range and sluggish.
‐ Thought you were out of here.
‐ Gonna be my last day.
Oh! Where's his face?
Left it on the dining
room wall.
Oh, sweet Jesus!
Oh, god!
Ma'am? Ma'am, please.
I didn't think he knew
where I kept my gun.
Pulse ox 70. He's gonna need
an airway.
You've done it.
I've only watched.
Get somebody down here now.
If they've got on a white coat,
tackle them.
Oh, boy. I hope medical
malpractice covers this, huh?
Okay. 7.5 ET tube.
Suction.
No, no. Damn it,
I can't see a thing.
Bag him.
PCO‐2's 60.
PO‐2's 55.
PH is 7.20.
Wet rales.
Diminished breath sounds.
Where the hell
is everybody?
He's hypostatic as hell.
He needs a crike.
I can't do it.
Really, I can't.
Somebody do something.
[Carter groans]
Alright.
Get the crike tray.
Versed, norcuron?
No, no, no, no.
If I paralyze him, I don't get
the crike, then he dies.
Okay, drape.
Drape!
Could someone please hand
me a sterile drape!
'Is that the membrane?'
‐ Horizontal or vertical?
‐ Horizontal.
No, no, uh, vertical skin
incision first
then cut horizontally
through the membrane.
I'm sure.
(Carter)
'Thyroid's gotta
be in there somewhere.'
‐ Okay, horizontal.
‐ 'Alright, Carter.'
Give me the bullet.
14‐year‐old, uh, with a self
inflicted GSW to the mouth.
He's had four units.
BP 70/50.
Uh, pulse is 54.
Tried to intubate him,
but there was too much
blood and tissue
occluding his airway.
l was just about to start
a cricothyroidectomy.
Alright, alright, alright.
You paralyze him?
‐ No.
‐ Good boy, good boy.
'Alright.'
Skin hook.
Come on, come on.
6.0 trach tube.
Let's move.
'Call radiology, let him know
he's on his way with a CT.'
Bag him.
'Come on. Let's move.'
Alright, let's pack it.
Stop all this bleeding.
So, you were
gonna do the crike?
Yeah.
‐ Alright. Malik?
‐ 'Yo.'
Get head and neck
out of bed.
‐ This is their lucky day.
‐ 'Got it.'
‐ Wrong choice?
‐ Nope.
Alright, come on, people,
let's go let's get him up. Move.
[indistinct chattering]
Last day, right?
Alright, don't forget to turn
in your lab coat and your lD.
'You'll get your
deposit back.'
[theme music]
[music continues]
[thunder rumbling]
Lie down.
[thunder rumbling]
Chloe, you need
to do the laundry.
The detergent's
in the closet, okay?
Ah, Oh, my God.
Chloe, can you hear me? Please?
She's finally asleep.
‐ Were you up all night again?
‐ Sorry.
Oh, gosh, I hope it stops
raining before the wedding.
I don't think
I'm gonna make it.
Yes.
Chloe, yes, you are.
I'm not strong
enough, Suz.
Chloe, you're doing great.
Listen. I'm already
running late.
Please do the laundry.
The machines
are in the basement.
The wedding starts at 5:00
so, I have to be back
here by 3:00 and start
getting ready. Okay?
Bye, little one.
'3 o'clock.'
3:00, right?
[thunder rumbling]
Car TC,
no seat belt.
Complained of chest pain.
Well, go see her.
Tell her how you feel.
Well, I'd have
to know how I feel.
‐ Oh.
‐ Yeah. Oh.
Maybe it's for the best.
Except for Jake.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, except for Rachel.
Yes.
Who are they?
Ah, new meat,
medical students.
This way, children.
Follow me.
Mark, a drunk MVA
in trauma one.
Carter.
The attempted suicide's
mother's still down here.
Get her to the
OR waiting room.
How is he?
Tell her he's in surgery
and hand him off.
Peter, I'm sorry to hear
about your mother.
Yeah, thanks.
Carter, I need your course
evaluation by noon.
‐ My what?
‐ Course evaluation.
Your assessment of your
ER trauma rotation.
What, I get to grade you?
Just get a form from Rolando
and put it in Dr. Hicks' box.
‐ Is he joking?
‐ Nope.
Oh, there is a God.
Pulse is thready
at 120, resps 36.
She's shocky, 70/50.
Hit a parked car,
no seat belt.
Bent the steering
wheel of her Buick.
Name's Bonnie Curtis.
No sign of head trauma.
Pulse ox is only 85.
Blood glucose is normal at 110.
Bonnie? Bonnie, do you
know where you are?
Whew, God!
‐ Ooh, she's drunk.
‐ 'Oh, yeah.'
I need a cigarette.
Bonnie, do you know
where you are?
Somebody, get me
a damn cigarette!
CBC, chem 7,
cardiac enzymes, EKG.
‐ Blood alcohol?
‐ Sure.
Get a chest and a cross table
c‐spine going, now.
"The resident helped
you achieve
competency with procedures."
Yes, he did.
That's a four.
"The resident made himself
available to answer questions."
‐ No. Two?
‐ I'd go for a one.
One, really?
Seems kind of harsh.
We're talking
about Benton here.
[smacking lips]
One.
"The resident provided you
with constructive comments
and criticism
of your performance."
Constructive.
Do they have
negative numbers?
There's a zero.
‐ Hey, hey, hey.
‐ Zero it is.
‐ That's it.
‐ What's the total?
‐ Sixteen.
‐ Out of a possible..?
Forty.
Maybe I ought to go
a little easier on him.
He had to turn in his evaluation
of you last week.
16 it is.
Where's Dr. Hicks' box?
What have we got?
(Mark)
Single car accident.
No seat belt.
Hit the steering
wheel. Drunk, too shocky.
‐ But I'm not sure why.
‐ Internal bleeding?
(Mark)
Abdomen's soft, nontender.
No rebound or guarding.
Normal bowel sounds.
Pulse ox is 85,
but she's a smoker.
Po‐2's 70
on room air.
Resps are high.
No widened mediastinum
or apical cap.
Ruptured aorta is highly
unlikely.
Could be a mild
myocardial contusion or MI.
I'm thinking
pulmonary embolus.
Resps are high,
tacky, low PO‐2.
This woman is drunk
at 7:00 in the morning.
It's probably just
alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
‐ I'd like to get a VQ scan.
‐ You're grasping at straws.
(Swift)
'Give her thiamine,
folate, multi‐vits.'
Rehydrate her with D5 NS.
Support her pressure
with dopamine
and then admit her
to telemetry
for a serial EKGs
and enzymes.
Get her to radiology
and get a VQ scan.
Do swift's orders
and scan her anyway.
Hi, Caleb.
I'm Dr. Ross.
This is Dr. Carter..
...and you have a fever.
101. No cough.
‐ No abdominal pain.
‐ I feel okay.
He just finished
a round of chemo.
I'd look for a bacterial
focus of the infection.
Anything wrong, buddy?
You've been around
any sick people?
It's probably just the Hickman.
That's what happened last time.
Catheter? Is it sore?
Yeah. It's always sore.
It's no big deal.
‐ Sarah just freaks out.
‐ I was scared, Caleb.
Did you call your parents
and tell 'em you were here?
Now, Sarah did
the right thing, you know?
After chemo, your body
doesn't wanna fight infection.
CBC plus
differential
'blood cultures times three,
urine culture'
throat swab,
a chest film.
‐ What else, Dr. Carter?
‐ I'll do an L. P.
I don't want a spinal tap!
I just had one.
I don't need another one.
Why a tap,
Carter?
Irritability,
and or lethargy
are early signs
of meningitis.
Yes, see,
the deal is this, Caleb.
You're not lethargic,
but you are irritable.
Now, that could either
be a sign of meningitis
or just your personality.
'So, I'll tell
you what we're gonna do.'
'We're gonna wait
a couple of minutes'
'take a look
at some tests'
and if you're still
being a pain in the ass
then we're gonna give
you the tap, okay?
Broad‐spectrum antibiotics?
Mm‐hmm, yep.
Gentamicin, 80mgs
'oxacillin, one gram,
piperacillin'
'1.5 grams IV.'
'Find out who's on call
for oncology.'
Peter.
‐ Hey.
‐ Hi.
I called you.
You, uh, you get my messages?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
‐ I‐I've been working a lot.
‐ Yeah.
And you really
shouldn't call me at home.
‐ Uh..
‐ Okay.
We need to talk.
Alright.
Lunch?
Alright. We'll talk.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Okay. See you then.
You paged me, doctor.
Saddle embolus.
You ordered pulmonary
angiography.
Yes.
Before or after you went
ahead
and scanned her?
BP was falling,
increased respiratory rate
rising PCO‐2,
falling PO‐2 and PH.
S‐one, q‐three on the EKG.
Did you book an OR?
Well, what are
you waiting for?
Go ahead, move her!
Go! Go!
Good work.
Thanks.
We got served today
on your pre‐eclampsia.
Malpractice suit.
‐ Jody O'Brien?
‐ Yeah.
Wrongful death, pain
and suffering, the usual.
What, you didn't
think they would?
Wasn't sure.
Come see me later.
We'll talk it out.
[instrumental music]
[muttering]
(female #1)
'Get some blood culture
bottles.'
What medications
are you taking, Mr. Allison?
A DDC, bactrim, AZT,
fluconazole and rifabutin.
Let's start hydration
with D5 NS, 300cc's.
Susan, what do you got?
End‐stage
AIDS patient.
Multiple meds,
temp 101, tachy.
"History of GI Lymphoma,
PCP pneumonia, Kaposi's
AIDS dementia, oral thrush,
cryptococcal meningitis."
'He has high‐pitched
bowel sounds'
'tenderness, distention,
hepatosplenomegaly'
'positive guaiac,
no recent stool or gas.'
'He's vomiting
blood and bile.'
'Started a 300cc
fluid challenge.'
Okay, let's get a KUB,
lateral decubitus
chest films, blood cultures
times three
including microbacteria,
fungal, CMVC
'CBC, chem 24, urine'
'and let's get
an NG tube down now.'
‐ He's all yours.
‐ Alright.
Morphine 4, IV.
We suspect he has
a bowel obstruction
from enlarged lymph nodes
due to recurrent lymphoma.
This is Dr. Benton.
He's the surgical resident.
Oh, Is‐is he gonna need
surgery?
Maybe.
We'll try drugs
and hydration first.
Thanks.
Alright, let's get
some neupogen.
300 mikes to stimulate
neutrophil growth.
See if we can't get
some of those
good white blood cells
going again, huh?
I know what
neutrophils are.
Do I have to stay
in the hospital?
Well, it's
too early to say.
We are gonna have to wait
and see if you respond
to the antibiotics.
Let me know how he's doing
in a couple few hours.
Okay, Dr. Carter's gonna
keep an eye on you
and I'll be back,
alright?
Last time
I got a rash
from the antibiotics.
You need
anything?
You don't have
to leave too?
He's just trying
to be nice, Caleb.
Shut up, fat Sarah.
Hey.
No, actually, I don't have
to be anywhere.
Today is my last day.
I can be anywhere I want.
Okay. See you later.
I'm bored.
Well, I could get you
a VCR from pediatrics.
You could watch a video.
I don't wanna watch TV.
I'm sick of TV.
Last chance.
Suit yourself.
Temp's 102.
BP still 70/50.
We're not seeing
much progress, Mr. Warren.
Do you have
power of attorney
to make decisions
for Thomas
in situations
like this?
No, his mother does.
We should call her.
I already have.
What do you wanna do?
Well, if the bowel obstruction
doesn't clear
we're gonna have to resolve
it surgically.
A colostomy.
‐ Yes.
‐ Yeah.
We've had a lot of friends
go though this.
How soon
can his mother get here?
What? Uh, can it wait?
Not long, no.
I‐I'll go call her again.
[muttering]
Hey, thought you
were a bridesmaid.
Hmm, on my way out.
So, it's a late
afternoon wedding?
As if you didn't know.
Got an unconscious
geezer in two.
Four martini lunch
with a belly ache in five.
And them kids?
Carter, I got a drunk in five.
Whatever happened
to the practice
of pediatrics
around here?
(male #!)
'Carter..'
I turned in my course evaluation
this morning.
‐ It is in Dr. Hicks' box.
‐ Yeah, yeah, fine, look.
Uh, Wilkins decided to take
the orthopedic sub‐I
so the surgical sub‐I
is left open.
You left us hanging.
You want it or not?
In the ER?
Yeah. Look, I'm in a hurry.
Yes or no?
‐ I got in?
‐ Carter.
Yeah, yeah. I want it,
I want it, definitely want it.
Okay, okay, okay.
September 5, 5:00 a. m.
‐ Don't be late.
‐ Okay, thank you.
Oh, oh, oh...
Excuse me.
Get drunk
for me.
(Malik)
Free champagne, you can
count on it.
‐ Rolando!
‐ What?
What happened to all
the stuff that was
in Dr. Hicks' box?
My course evaluation
that I turned
in this morning is gone!
She cleaned out her box
a couple minutes ago.
‐ Did it finally stop raining?
‐ Hours ago.
‐ Have fun!
‐ You know we will, girl.
Is there anybody who isn't going
to this wedding?
Just us. The sick, the lame
and the uninvited.
Oh, I'm a dead man.
Uh, here it is.
Do I need
an attorney?
Hospital
will handle it.
My wife's
an attorney.
She may want someone
to take a look
at it independently.
It's your money.
Well, thanks.
‐ That it?
‐ No.
I've decided
to take a chance.
Sign off on you
as attending for next year.
Show of appreciation
is customary.
I have to talk to my wife.
Fair enough.
I'll need to know
by tomorrow.
Thank you.
I didn't get a chance
to say good‐bye.
She knew, Peter.
Yeah, but look, we..
Sorry.
I can't do this.
Do what?
I like you, Peter,
but I, I don't know..
I think this
is about your mother.
Hmm.
We'd like to think that, huh?
'Chloe, I am so late.'
Could you grab
a half‐slip and some
some hose out of, out of, uh..?
Gosh, I, uh...I think they're
in the second drawer.
Oh, Chloe, I asked
you to do the laundry.
[groans]
'I don't even have a dry towel.'
'Chloe.'
'Chloe?'
Chloe?
Of course. Perfect.
[baby crying]
Oh, my..
Oh, yeah. It's okay.
It's all right,
it's all right.
Shh.
[knock on door]
Yes?
Dr. Hicks?
Hi. I'm John carter.
I'm Dr. Benton's student.
‐ Come on in, Carter.
‐ Yeah.
I turned
in my course evaluation
from my trauma rotation
this morning
and I was wondering
if I...might get
it back
to make some revisions.
Yes. I've read it.
A 16.
Sounds like you had
a disappointing experience.
Uh...yeah..
Would you like to hear
what he said about you?
Sure.
Ah..."Carter John Truman..
"an exceptional student.
"well‐trained,
superior diagnostic skills
"fast learner,
dedicated, selfless.
"Excellent bedside manner
with patients.
"Far more successful at dealing
"with the patients' emotional
"needs than this instructor.
Highly intelligent."
Wanna hear more?
It concludes,
"one of the finest students
"I've ever had the opportunity
to work with.
Recommend high honors."
He gave me high honors?
I was upset because he didn't
give me the surgery sub‐I.
Did he tell you Wilkins dropped
out and you had
'the surgical sub‐I?'
So you came up here
to get this back.
This is what you really
thought
of Dr. Benton's supervision?
No, no, I mean, He was hard
on me and demanding.
But I learned a lot.
Why don't you take another
crack at this evaluation?
Yeah, thank you.
And Carter,
I don't want it back
at a 40.
Be honest, fair.
Right. Uh..
...38 okay?
Yeah, something like that.
♪ I'll give you ever so many ♪
♪ But baby do go to sleep ♪
♪ Bye bye my babykin bye ♪
♪ Why won't you shut your eyes ♪
♪ Bye bye my babykin bye ♪
♪ Why won't you shut your eyes ♪
Mrs. Allison?
Hi. I'm Dr. Benton.
We need your permission
to perform
an emergency colostomy.
The lymphoma?
This could be a difficult
and painful way
for him to die.
It can't be any worse
than what he's
already been through.
I won't put him
through it.
Okay.
Well, we'll try to make him
as comfortable as possible
and maybe the current treatment
will resolve the obstruction.
Four more morphine IV.
Marjorie decided against
the surgery, didn't she?
Yeah.
Yeah, I knew she would.
It's what Thomas
would have wanted.
That's why he chose
her instead of me.
He knew I wouldn't
have the strength.
Um...can I take him home?
I‐I wouldn't.
If he does regain
consciousness
it could be rough.
Here we can
manage his pain.
You know, we‐we've already
said our goodbyes.
But I‐I guess you're never
really ready.
Well..
...back to the deathwatch.
Yeah.
[instrumental music]
‐ Mr. Hahn, I'm Dr. Ross.
‐ Hey.
Hey, is Caleb gonna be okay?
‐ How's his temperature, Wendy?
‐ Down to 99.
It's not the chemo, Mr. Hahn.
His white blood cells
looks fine.
Caleb has a temperature,
we think from an infection.
The antibiotics
seem to be working.
But we gonna keep him around
for a few hours just to make
sure, if that's okay?
Mr. Hahn, there's a call from
a Dr. Bernstein. On line two.
‐ You can take it out here.
‐ Our oncologist.
Mm‐hm, okay. why don't
I check back in a little bit.
(Doug)
'Why don't you and your daughter
get something to eat'
'and bring it back for Caleb.'
'Cheeseburger and fries,
am I right?'
‐ Alright.
‐ Be right back.
Still bored?
What do you think?
"Mortal Kombat."
I stole it from
a hemophiliac in pediatrics.
You stole it?
Yeah, Rented it, really.
It cost me ten bucks.
But I'm pretty good.
It's got to be more fun
than sitting here
feeling sorry for yourself.
Come on. You can be
anybody you want.
‐ Johnny Cage.
‐ What?
I get to be Johnny Cage.
Okay, right.
I thought you said
you knew how to play.
I do, I do. I just, I just know
them more by their colors.
Dime a match.
How much is that
gonna cost me?
Depends on if you really know
how to play?
Alright. You're on.
[church organ music]
Mark.
Hi, everybody.
Uh, Mark, Jennifer. C‐could
you take the baby, please?
Don't ask.
The bottle's in the pouch
and I just changed her, okay.
Where's Chloe?
Who knows?
I got to go.
(Susan)
'I'm sorry.
Oh, thanks.'
Chloe stuck me
with the baby.
How do I look?
Like a big
peach snow cone.
[laughing]
Oh, oh, oh.
Here she comes.
‐ Aw.
‐ Ow.
‐ Pretty.
‐ Ow.
(all)
Ow.
(female #1)
'She looks beautiful.'
[instrumental music]
(female #2)
'Carol.'
(Susan)
Come on, girlfriend.
[laughing]
(female #3)
'I think this dress
cost more'
'than both of
my weddings.'
Oh, Carol.
[sighs]
So?
You look great.
Oh, God.
I'm really nervous.
(Wright)
'Time to seat
the bride's mother.'
‐ I'm not going to cry.
‐ Ow. Ha, ha.
Not now. Remember, not too
many petals at once, okay.
I know how to do it.
You all set, Carol?
Yup, Uncle Mikhel.
You're on.
[speaking Russian]
Oh!
Well, father,
we're all set.
‐ Let's go.
‐ 'Hey.'
Yep. All we need
now is the groom.
How's Thomas doing?
Temp's up to 103.
‐ BP's 65/50.
‐ Mm.
[sighs]
[instrumental music]
[birds chirping]
Tag, what are you doing?
It's beautiful here,
isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Tag, we've got
a whole church
full of our friends
and family waiting.
Are you scared?
[sighs]
A little.
Me too.
I was thinking that maybe
you don't love me enough.
Tag, I love you.
Do you really?
I was waiting
in the sacristy and..
...I was thinking that
you really don't love me
that I've known it all along
and...I've just
been kidding myself.
I wouldn't be marrying
you if I didn't love you.
I wake up every morning
and I thank God
for bringing
you into my life.
I wake up in the middle
of the night sometimes
just to watch you sleep.
When we're at the movies
and your hand
brushes against mine,
I can hardly breathe.
Do you love me
like that, Carol?
If you care at all about me
please tell me the truth.
No.
I don't.
But I do love you, Tag..
...and I want to be with you.
Thank you.
[instrumental music]
[mourning]
After six.
Should be Dr. And Mrs. Taglieri
by now.
Connie, did anyone
ever tell you
you're a truly
evil person?
Somebody's
waiting for you.
Hm, I can't. I've to go
look at a patient.
He's been
waiting awhile.
Was it something I did?
No, you didn't
do anything.
You were great.
This is all me.
Mm, maybe we can fix it.
I don't think so.
We can try.
Jake, look,
I did something bad.
And I hurt your mother, okay?
What did you do?
Come here. Sit down.
Sit down.
I know that you think
that I'm a...a good guy
but I'm not really.
I..
...don't know why I hurt
people sometimes, and..
I did something
with another woman
that I shouldn't have done
and your mother
found out about it
and now she doesn't want me
to come around anymore.
Oh.
You and I can't hang out.
I never meant to hurt,
uh...you.
You know, I mean, I..
The one with the nice clothes
and all the hair?
Yeah, um...the one
with all the hair.
I'm sorry, buddy.
I got to go.
My mom would be mad
if she knew I was here.
Okay, show me the thing, uh,
how you do the thing
where they rip
the guy's head off
and they set him on fire.
Up, right, kick,
kick, down, block.
Wait, up, up, up, show...
(Caleb)
'Up, right, down, down, kick.'
Die, you bastard!
Yes! Triple power move..
...and a fatality.
You're pretty rough
on your sister.
You've got
ALL, right?
My brother, Bobby
had leukemia.
‐ Yeah?
‐ Mm‐hmm.
He used to pick
on me all the time.
Come up and...hit me
when I wasn't expecting it
for no reason.
(Carter)
'Come on.'
Yeah, he hated my mom
for babying him.
He just wanted to be
a regular kid, so..
...so he took it out on me.
He was just,
um...pretending
he could still do everything
that he used to but..
...he couldn't.
Your turn.
Did he make it?
Um...no.
No, he died.
But he had AML.
Which is a lot
harder to beat.
It was a long time ago.
Medicines are
a lot better now
and the kids are a lot tougher.
[chuckles]
[birds chirping]
[band music]
Where's Carol?
Talking
to her mother.
How is she?
We confiscated
her shoelaces and belt.
Somebody ought
to shoot him.
Amen.
What do you think they're gonna
do with all that food?
Might, give it to a shelter
or something.
A shelter..
Alkies can barely keep down
a peanut butter sandwich.
How the hell they are gonna
to hold on to lobster Newburg?
They got lobster?
Big ones. Size of your head.
You guys are gonna eat?

‐ Mommy, I'm hungry.

Come on, Rach.

‐ She's hungry.
‐ Anybody want a drink?
‐ Uh‐huh.
Gin and tonic.
Chivas straight up.
[all giggling]

You in one piece?
Yeah, never been better.
[sighs]
So I thought I was
having a bad day.
[people cheering]
What's that?
Oh, they went ahead
with the reception.
You know my family.
What's a little
humiliation
when there's
free food and drink?
What's wrong with me?
Why can't I fall in love
with a nice guy?
Someone who loves me,
who wants to be with me
who's honest and decent?
Hm..
...and boring.
God, he was dull.
[laughing]
All that talk about
fly fishing and bowling
and his glory days
playing football in college.
‐ Bowling?
‐ Yeah.
[laughs]
[sighs]
I just want to be happy
and I'm so afraid
I never will be.
You will.
[sighs]
Hey..
...you will.
Dr. Benton?
I just want to say
thank you for everything.
I learned a lot.
Have a good summer.
You too.
Carter..
...you're gonna
make a good doctor.
Thanks.

Alright.
I'll see you then.
ER.
(female #1)
'Okay, what do we got?'
(female #2)
'15‐year‐old
GSW. To the head.'
'Tried to hold up
a 7‐11.'
Ten liters 0‐2, BP's 90/60
pulse 120.
We started
two large bore IVS.
[theme music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
‐ Carter, wake up!
‐ Yeah.
GSW to the head,
coming in.
Benton's in surgery,
and Greene's got an MI.
‐ Carter!
‐ What?
Let's go!
Oh, god.
Ouch! Ow!
(male #1)
'Put a .357 in his mouth
and pulled the trigger.'
'It isn't pretty.'
Two large bore IVS,
15 liters O‐2.
‐ BP 80 over 50, pulse 56
‐ Ready? One, two, three!
‐ Blood loss?
‐ At least a liter.
Where is Benton?
Still up with that knife wound.
Hey we need a doctor
in here!
There's no gray matter
up here.
Pupils mid‐range and sluggish.
‐ Thought you were out of here.
‐ Gonna be my last day.
Oh! Where's his face?
Left it on the dining
room wall.
Oh, sweet Jesus!
Oh, god!
Ma'am? Ma'am, please.
I didn't think he knew
where I kept my gun.
Pulse ox 70. He's gonna need
an airway.
You've done it.
I've only watched.
Get somebody down here now.
If they've got on a white coat,
tackle them.
Oh, boy. I hope medical
malpractice covers this, huh?
Okay. 7.5 ET tube.
Suction.
No, no. Damn it,
I can't see a thing.
Bag him.
PCO‐2's 60.
PO‐2's 55.
PH is 7.20.
Wet rales.
Diminished breath sounds.
Where the hell
is everybody?
He's hypostatic as hell.
He needs a crike.
I can't do it.
Really, I can't.
Somebody do something.
[Carter groans]
Alright.
Get the crike tray.
Versed, norcuron?
No, no, no, no.
If I paralyze him, I don't get
the crike, then he dies.
Okay, drape.
Drape!
Could someone please hand
me a sterile drape!
'Is that the membrane?'
‐ Horizontal or vertical?
‐ Horizontal.
No, no, uh, vertical skin
incision first
then cut horizontally
through the membrane.
I'm sure.
(Carter)
'Thyroid's gotta
be in there somewhere.'
‐ Okay, horizontal.
‐ 'Alright, Carter.'
Give me the bullet.
14‐year‐old, uh, with a self
inflicted GSW to the mouth.
He's had four units.
BP 70/50.
Uh, pulse is 54.
Tried to intubate him,
but there was too much
blood and tissue
occluding his airway.
l was just about to start
a cricothyroidectomy.
Alright, alright, alright.
You paralyze him?
‐ No.
‐ Good boy, good boy.
'Alright.'
Skin hook.
Come on, come on.
6.0 trach tube.
Let's move.
'Call radiology, let him know
he's on his way with a CT.'
Bag him.
'Come on. Let's move.'
Alright, let's pack it.
Stop all this bleeding.
So, you were
gonna do the crike?
Yeah.
‐ Alright. Malik?
‐ 'Yo.'
Get head and neck
out of bed.
‐ This is their lucky day.
‐ 'Got it.'
‐ Wrong choice?
‐ Nope.
Alright, come on, people,
let's go let's get him up. Move.

Chloe, you need

The detergent's

Ah, Oh, my God.
Chloe, can you hear me? Please?
She's finally asleep.
‐ Were you up all night again?
‐ Sorry.
Oh, gosh, I hope it stops
raining before the wedding.
I don't think
I'm gonna make it.
Yes.
Chloe, yes, you are.
I'm not strong
enough, Suz.
Chloe, you're doing great.
Listen. I'm already
running late.
Please do the laundry.
The machines
are in the basement.
The wedding starts at 5:00
so, I have to be back
here by 3:00 and start
getting ready. Okay?
Bye, little one.
'3 o'clock.'
3:00, right?
[thunder rumbling]
Car TC,
no seat belt.
Complained of chest pain.
Well, go see her.
Tell her how you feel.
Well, I'd have
to know how I feel.
‐ Oh.
‐ Yeah. Oh.
Maybe it's for the best.
Except for Jake.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, except for Rachel.
Yes.
Who are they?
Ah, new meat,
medical students.
This way, children.
Follow me.
Mark, a drunk MVA
in trauma one.
Carter.
The attempted suicide's
mother's still down here.
Get her to the
OR waiting room.
How is he?
Tell her he's in surgery
and hand him off.
Peter, I'm sorry to hear
about your mother.
Yeah, thanks.
Carter, I need your course
evaluation by noon.
‐ My what?
‐ Course evaluation.
Your assessment of your
ER trauma rotation.
What, I get to grade you?
Just get a form from Rolando
and put it in Dr. Hicks' box.
‐ Is he joking?
‐ Nope.
Oh, there is a God.
Pulse is thready
at 120, resps 36.
She's shocky, 70/50.
Hit a parked car,
no seat belt.
Bent the steering
wheel of her Buick.
Name's Bonnie Curtis.
No sign of head trauma.
Pulse ox is only 85.
Blood glucose is normal at 110.
Bonnie? Bonnie, do you
know where you are?
Whew, God!
‐ Ooh, she's drunk.
‐ 'Oh, yeah.'
I need a cigarette.
Bonnie, do you know
where you are?
Somebody, get me
a damn cigarette!
CBC, chem 7,
cardiac enzymes, EKG.
‐ Blood alcohol?
‐ Sure.
Get a chest and a cross table
c‐spine going, now.
"The resident helped
you achieve
competency with procedures."
Yes, he did.
That's a four.
"The resident made himself
available to answer questions."
‐ No. Two?
‐ I'd go for a one.
One, really?
Seems kind of harsh.
We're talking
about Benton here.
[smacking lips]
One.
"The resident provided you
with constructive comments
and criticism
of your performance."
Constructive.
Do they have
negative numbers?
There's a zero.
‐ Hey, hey, hey.
‐ Zero it is.
‐ That's it.
‐ What's the total?
‐ Sixteen.
‐ Out of a possible..?
Forty.
Maybe I ought to go
a little easier on him.
He had to turn in his evaluation
of you last week.
16 it is.
Where's Dr. Hicks' box?
What have we got?
(Mark)
Single car accident.
No seat belt.
Hit the steering
wheel. Drunk, too shocky.
‐ But I'm not sure why.
‐ Internal bleeding?
(Mark)
Abdomen's soft, nontender.
No rebound or guarding.
Normal bowel sounds.
Pulse ox is 85,
but she's a smoker.
Po‐2's 70
on room air.
Resps are high.
No widened mediastinum
or apical cap.
Ruptured aorta is highly
unlikely.
Could be a mild
myocardial contusion or MI.
I'm thinking
pulmonary embolus.
Resps are high,
tacky, low PO‐2.
This woman is drunk
at 7:00 in the morning.
It's probably just
alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
‐ I'd like to get a VQ scan.
‐ You're grasping at straws.
(Swift)
'Give her thiamine,
folate, multi‐vits.'
Rehydrate her with D5 NS.
Support her pressure
with dopamine
and then admit her
to telemetry
for a serial EKGs
and enzymes.
Get her to radiology
and get a VQ scan.
Do swift's orders
and scan her anyway.
Hi, Caleb.
I'm Dr. Ross.
This is Dr. Carter..
...and you have a fever.
101. No cough.
‐ No abdominal pain.
‐ I feel okay.
He just finished
a round of chemo.
I'd look for a bacterial
focus of the infection.
Anything wrong, buddy?
You've been around
any sick people?
It's probably just the Hickman.
That's what happened last time.
Catheter? Is it sore?
Yeah. It's always sore.
It's no big deal.
‐ Sarah just freaks out.
‐ I was scared, Caleb.
Did you call your parents
and tell 'em you were here?
Now, Sarah did
the right thing, you know?
After chemo, your body
doesn't wanna fight infection.
CBC plus
differential
'blood cultures times three,
urine culture'
throat swab,
a chest film.
‐ What else, Dr. Carter?
‐ I'll do an L. P.
I don't want a spinal tap!
I just had one.
I don't need another one.
Why a tap,
Carter?
Irritability,
and or lethargy
are early signs
of meningitis.
Yes, see,
the deal is this, Caleb.
You're not lethargic,
but you are irritable.
Now, that could either
be a sign of meningitis
or just your personality.
'So, I'll tell
you what we're gonna do.'
'We're gonna wait
a couple of minutes'
'take a look
at some tests'
and if you're still
being a pain in the ass
then we're gonna give
you the tap, okay?
Broad‐spectrum antibiotics?
Mm‐hmm, yep.
Gentamicin, 80mgs
'oxacillin, one gram,
piperacillin'
'1.5 grams IV.'
'Find out who's on call
for oncology.'
Peter.
‐ Hey.
‐ Hi.
I called you.
You, uh, you get my messages?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
‐ I‐I've been working a lot.
‐ Yeah.
And you really
shouldn't call me at home.
‐ Uh..
‐ Okay.
We need to talk.
Alright.
Lunch?
Alright. We'll talk.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Okay. See you then.
You paged me, doctor.
Saddle embolus.
You ordered pulmonary
angiography.
Yes.
Before or after you went
ahead
and scanned her?
BP was falling,
increased respiratory rate
rising PCO‐2,
falling PO‐2 and PH.
S‐one, q‐three on the EKG.
Did you book an OR?
Well, what are
you waiting for?
Go ahead, move her!
Go! Go!
Good work.
Thanks.
We got served today
on your pre‐eclampsia.
Malpractice suit.
‐ Jody O'Brien?
‐ Yeah.
Wrongful death, pain
and suffering, the usual.
What, you didn't
think they would?
Wasn't sure.
Come see me later.
We'll talk it out.
[instrumental music]
[muttering]
(female #1)
'Get some blood culture
bottles.'
What medications
are you taking, Mr. Allison?
A DDC, bactrim, AZT,
fluconazole and rifabutin.
Let's start hydration
with D5 NS, 300cc's.
Susan, what do you got?
End‐stage
AIDS patient.
Multiple meds,
temp 101, tachy.
"History of GI Lymphoma,
PCP pneumonia, Kaposi's
AIDS dementia, oral thrush,
cryptococcal meningitis."
'He has high‐pitched
bowel sounds'
'tenderness, distention,
hepatosplenomegaly'
'positive guaiac,
no recent stool or gas.'
'He's vomiting
blood and bile.'
'Started a 300cc
fluid challenge.'
Okay, let's get a KUB,
lateral decubitus
chest films, blood cultures
times three
including microbacteria,
fungal, CMVC
'CBC, chem 24, urine'
'and let's get
an NG tube down now.'
‐ He's all yours.
‐ Alright.
Morphine 4, IV.
We suspect he has
a bowel obstruction
from enlarged lymph nodes
due to recurrent lymphoma.
This is Dr. Benton.
He's the surgical resident.
Oh, Is‐is he gonna need
surgery?
Maybe.
We'll try drugs
and hydration first.
Thanks.
Alright, let's get
some neupogen.
300 mikes to stimulate
neutrophil growth.
See if we can't get
some of those
good white blood cells
going again, huh?
I know what
neutrophils are.
Do I have to stay
in the hospital?
Well, it's
too early to say.
We are gonna have to wait
and see if you respond
to the antibiotics.
Let me know how he's doing
in a couple few hours.
Okay, Dr. Carter's gonna
keep an eye on you
and I'll be back,
alright?
Last time
I got a rash
from the antibiotics.
You need
anything?
You don't have
to leave too?
He's just trying
to be nice, Caleb.
Shut up, fat Sarah.
Hey.
No, actually, I don't have
to be anywhere.
Today is my last day.
I can be anywhere I want.
Okay. See you later.
I'm bored.
Well, I could get you
a VCR from pediatrics.
You could watch a video.
I don't wanna watch TV.
I'm sick of TV.
Last chance.
Suit yourself.
Temp's 102.
BP still 70/50.
We're not seeing
much progress, Mr. Warren.
Do you have
power of attorney
to make decisions
for Thomas
in situations
like this?
No, his mother does.
We should call her.
I already have.
What do you wanna do?
Well, if the bowel obstruction
doesn't clear
we're gonna have to resolve
it surgically.
A colostomy.
‐ Yes.
‐ Yeah.
We've had a lot of friends
go though this.
How soon
can his mother get here?
What? Uh, can it wait?
Not long, no.
I‐I'll go call her again.
[muttering]
Hey, thought you
were a bridesmaid.
Hmm, on my way out.
So, it's a late
afternoon wedding?
As if you didn't know.
Got an unconscious
geezer in two.
Four martini lunch
with a belly ache in five.
And them kids?
Carter, I got a drunk in five.
Whatever happened
to the practice
of pediatrics
around here?
(male #!)
'Carter..'
I turned in my course evaluation
this morning.
‐ It is in Dr. Hicks' box.
‐ Yeah, yeah, fine, look.
Uh, Wilkins decided to take
the orthopedic sub‐I
so the surgical sub‐I
is left open.
You left us hanging.
You want it or not?
In the ER?
Yeah. Look, I'm in a hurry.
Yes or no?
‐ I got in?
‐ Carter.
Yeah, yeah. I want it,
I want it, definitely want it.
Okay, okay, okay.
September 5, 5:00 a. m.
‐ Don't be late.
‐ Okay, thank you.
Oh, oh, oh...
Excuse me.
Get drunk
for me.
(Malik)
Free champagne, you can
count on it.
‐ Rolando!
‐ What?
What happened to all
the stuff that was
in Dr. Hicks' box?
My course evaluation
that I turned
in this morning is gone!
She cleaned out her box
a couple minutes ago.
‐ Did it finally stop raining?
‐ Hours ago.
‐ Have fun!
‐ You know we will, girl.
Is there anybody who isn't going
to this wedding?
Just us. The sick, the lame
and the uninvited.
Oh, I'm a dead man.
Uh, here it is.
Do I need
an attorney?
Hospital
will handle it.
My wife's
an attorney.
She may want someone
to take a look
at it independently.
It's your money.
Well, thanks.
‐ That it?
‐ No.
I've decided
to take a chance.
Sign off on you
as attending for next year.
Show of appreciation
is customary.
I have to talk to my wife.
Fair enough.
I'll need to know
by tomorrow.
Thank you.
I didn't get a chance
to say good‐bye.
She knew, Peter.
Yeah, but look, we..
Sorry.
I can't do this.
Do what?
I like you, Peter,
but I, I don't know..
I think this
is about your mother.
Hmm.
We'd like to think that, huh?
'Chloe, I am so late.'
Could you grab
a half‐slip and some
some hose out of, out of, uh..?
Gosh, I, uh...I think they're
in the second drawer.
Oh, Chloe, I asked
you to do the laundry.
[groans]
'I don't even have a dry towel.'
'Chloe.'
'Chloe?'
Chloe?
Of course. Perfect.
[baby crying]
Oh, my..
Oh, yeah. It's okay.
It's all right,
it's all right.
Shh.
[knock on door]
Yes?
Dr. Hicks?
Hi. I'm John carter.
I'm Dr. Benton's student.
‐ Come on in, Carter.
‐ Yeah.
I turned
in my course evaluation
from my trauma rotation
this morning
and I was wondering
if I...might get
it back
to make some revisions.
Yes. I've read it.
A 16.
Sounds like you had
a disappointing experience.
Uh...yeah..
Would you like to hear
what he said about you?
Sure.
Ah..."Carter John Truman..
"an exceptional student.
"well‐trained,
superior diagnostic skills
"fast learner,
dedicated, selfless.
"Excellent bedside manner
with patients.
"Far more successful at dealing
"with the patients' emotional
"needs than this instructor.
Highly intelligent."
Wanna hear more?
It concludes,
"one of the finest students
"I've ever had the opportunity
to work with.
Recommend high honors."
He gave me high honors?
I was upset because he didn't
give me the surgery sub‐I.
Did he tell you Wilkins dropped
out and you had
'the surgical sub‐I?'
So you came up here
to get this back.
This is what you really
thought
of Dr. Benton's supervision?
No, no, I mean, He was hard
on me and demanding.
But I learned a lot.
Why don't you take another
crack at this evaluation?
Yeah, thank you.
And Carter,
I don't want it back
at a 40.
Be honest, fair.
Right. Uh..
...38 okay?
Yeah, something like that.

Mrs. Allison?
Hi. I'm Dr. Benton.
We need your permission
to perform
an emergency colostomy.
The lymphoma?
This could be a difficult
and painful way
for him to die.
It can't be any worse
than what he's
already been through.
I won't put him
through it.
Okay.
Well, we'll try to make him
as comfortable as possible
and maybe the current treatment
will resolve the obstruction.
Four more morphine IV.
Marjorie decided against
the surgery, didn't she?
Yeah.
Yeah, I knew she would.
It's what Thomas
would have wanted.
That's why he chose
her instead of me.
He knew I wouldn't
have the strength.
Um...can I take him home?
I‐I wouldn't.
If he does regain
consciousness
it could be rough.
Here we can
manage his pain.
You know, we‐we've already
said our goodbyes.
But I‐I guess you're never
really ready.
Well..
...back to the deathwatch.
Yeah.
[instrumental music]
‐ Mr. Hahn, I'm Dr. Ross.
‐ Hey.
Hey, is Caleb gonna be okay?
‐ How's his temperature, Wendy?
‐ Down to 99.
It's not the chemo, Mr. Hahn.
His white blood cells
looks fine.
Caleb has a temperature,
we think from an infection.
The antibiotics
seem to be working.
But we gonna keep him around
for a few hours just to make
sure, if that's okay?
Mr. Hahn, there's a call from
a Dr. Bernstein. On line two.
‐ You can take it out here.
‐ Our oncologist.
Mm‐hm, okay. why don't
I check back in a little bit.
(Doug)
'Why don't you and your daughter
get something to eat'
'and bring it back for Caleb.'
'Cheeseburger and fries,
am I right?'
‐ Alright.
‐ Be right back.
Still bored?
What do you think?
"Mortal Kombat."
I stole it from
a hemophiliac in pediatrics.
You stole it?
Yeah, Rented it, really.
It cost me ten bucks.
But I'm pretty good.
It's got to be more fun
than sitting here
feeling sorry for yourself.
Come on. You can be
anybody you want.
‐ Johnny Cage.
‐ What?
I get to be Johnny Cage.
Okay, right.
I thought you said
you knew how to play.
I do, I do. I just, I just know
them more by their colors.
Dime a match.
How much is that
gonna cost me?
Depends on if you really know
how to play?
Alright. You're on.
[church organ music]
Mark.
Hi, everybody.
Uh, Mark, Jennifer. C‐could
you take the baby, please?
Don't ask.
The bottle's in the pouch
and I just changed her, okay.
Where's Chloe?
Who knows?
I got to go.
(Susan)
'I'm sorry.
Oh, thanks.'
Chloe stuck me
with the baby.
How do I look?
Like a big
peach snow cone.
[laughing]
Oh, oh, oh.
Here she comes.
‐ Aw.
‐ Ow.
‐ Pretty.
‐ Ow.

'than both of

Oh, Carol.
[sighs]
So?
You look great.
Oh, God.
I'm really nervous.
(Wright)
'Time to seat
the bride's mother.'
‐ I'm not going to cry.
‐ Ow. Ha, ha.
Not now. Remember, not too
many petals at once, okay.
I know how to do it.
You all set, Carol?
Yup, Uncle Mikhel.
You're on.
[speaking Russian]
Oh!
Well, father,
we're all set.
‐ Let's go.
‐ 'Hey.'
Yep. All we need
now is the groom.
How's Thomas doing?
Temp's up to 103.
‐ BP's 65/50.
‐ Mm.
[sighs]
[instrumental music]
[birds chirping]
Tag, what are you doing?
It's beautiful here,
isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Tag, we've got
a whole church
full of our friends
and family waiting.
Are you scared?
[sighs]
A little.
Me too.
I was thinking that maybe
you don't love me enough.
Tag, I love you.
Do you really?
I was waiting
in the sacristy and..
...I was thinking that
you really don't love me
that I've known it all along
and...I've just
been kidding myself.
I wouldn't be marrying
you if I didn't love you.
I wake up every morning
and I thank God
for bringing
you into my life.
I wake up in the middle
of the night sometimes
just to watch you sleep.
When we're at the movies
and your hand
brushes against mine,
I can hardly breathe.
Do you love me
like that, Carol?
If you care at all about me
please tell me the truth.
No.
I don't.
But I do love you, Tag..
...and I want to be with you.
Thank you.
[instrumental music]
[mourning]
After six.
Should be Dr. And Mrs. Taglieri
by now.
Connie, did anyone
ever tell you
you're a truly
evil person?
Somebody's
waiting for you.
Hm, I can't. I've to go
look at a patient.
He's been
waiting awhile.
Was it something I did?
No, you didn't
do anything.
You were great.
This is all me.
Mm, maybe we can fix it.
I don't think so.
We can try.
Jake, look,
I did something bad.
And I hurt your mother, okay?
What did you do?
Come here. Sit down.
Sit down.
I know that you think
that I'm a...a good guy
but I'm not really.
I..
...don't know why I hurt
people sometimes, and..
I did something
with another woman
that I shouldn't have done
and your mother
found out about it
and now she doesn't want me
to come around anymore.
Oh.
You and I can't hang out.
I never meant to hurt,
uh...you.
You know, I mean, I..
The one with the nice clothes
and all the hair?
Yeah, um...the one
with all the hair.
I'm sorry, buddy.
I got to go.
My mom would be mad
if she knew I was here.
Okay, show me the thing, uh,
how you do the thing
where they rip
the guy's head off
and they set him on fire.
Up, right, kick,
kick, down, block.
Wait, up, up, up, show...
(Caleb)
'Up, right, down, down, kick.'
Die, you bastard!
Yes! Triple power move..
...and a fatality.
You're pretty rough
on your sister.
You've got
ALL, right?
My brother, Bobby
had leukemia.
‐ Yeah?
‐ Mm‐hmm.
He used to pick
on me all the time.
Come up and...hit me
when I wasn't expecting it
for no reason.
(Carter)
'Come on.'
Yeah, he hated my mom
for babying him.
He just wanted to be
a regular kid, so..
...so he took it out on me.
He was just,
um...pretending
he could still do everything
that he used to but..
...he couldn't.
Your turn.
Did he make it?
Um...no.
No, he died.
But he had AML.
Which is a lot
harder to beat.
It was a long time ago.
Medicines are
a lot better now
and the kids are a lot tougher.
[chuckles]
[birds chirping]
[band music]
Where's Carol?
Talking
to her mother.
How is she?
We confiscated
her shoelaces and belt.
Somebody ought
to shoot him.
Amen.
What do you think they're gonna
do with all that food?
Might, give it to a shelter
or something.
A shelter..
Alkies can barely keep down
a peanut butter sandwich.
How the hell they are gonna
to hold on to lobster Newburg?
They got lobster?
Big ones. Size of your head.
You guys are gonna eat?
They not gonna miss
a couple of plates' worth.
‐ Mommy, I'm hungry.
‐ Oh.
Come on, Rach.
‐ Mark?
‐ She's hungry.
‐ Anybody want a drink?
‐ Uh‐huh.
Gin and tonic.
Chivas straight up.
[all giggling]
[sobbing]
You in one piece?
Yeah, never been better.
[sighs]
So I thought I was
having a bad day.
[people cheering]
What's that?
Oh, they went ahead
with the reception.
You know my family.
What's a little
humiliation
when there's
free food and drink?
What's wrong with me?
Why can't I fall in love
with a nice guy?
Someone who loves me,
who wants to be with me
who's honest and decent?
Hm..
...and boring.
God, he was dull.
[laughing]
All that talk about
fly fishing and bowling
and his glory days
playing football in college.
‐ Bowling?
‐ Yeah.
[laughs]
[sighs]
I just want to be happy
and I'm so afraid
I never will be.
You will.
[sighs]
Hey..
...you will.
Dr. Benton?
I just want to say
thank you for everything.
I learned a lot.
Have a good summer.
You too.
Carter..
...you're gonna
make a good doctor.
Thanks.

I don't know

It's been

'Dr. Carter?'
Hey, Sarah.
I thought you guys left.
What you did
for my brother today..
...I hope that,
just once in my life.
I can make a difference
like that..

Thanks.
No, Sarah, thank you.
