ER (1994–2009): Season 2, Episode 15 - Baby Shower - full transcript

Mobilize with Kocher maneuver.

Divide at pylorus.

Transect stomach TA 90.

ID Ligament of treitz.

Come on.

My Billroth II's been canceled.

Good morning to you, too, Peter.

Is there a problem?

I believe your patient
developed a fever.

No, no, no. I mean,
is there a problem

with me in this department?



Ever since I left
Dr. Vucelich's study

I've been underutilized.

You were working
with Dr. Vucelich.

He monopolized
most of your time.

Now you're back
with the teaming masses

and there's lag time while
a schedule plays catch‐up

'to your change of fortune.'

I see.

What have we got?

Thirty year old male

had a bad Valentine's Day.

Threw himself on the L tracks

in front of an oncoming train.

'Did a good job on himself.
How are his vitals?'



Sinus tach at 150, BP's 50 palp.

Bilateral hemothorax,
rigid belly, head trauma

near amputation, right forearm.

Deformed fracture, left femur..

Open fracture, lower
right extremities.

Okay, you put in the other
chest tube. I'll do the DPL.

Oh, that's a deal. 36 French.

We need four units of o‐neg
on the rapid infuser.

Pupil are unequal
and sluggish.

We'll need a head CT
To rule out a bleed.

No time. Positive tap.
Do those burr holes blind.

No way. I need a CT first.

Alright, let's shock him.

I wish I would have
thought of that.

Two hundred!

‐ Clear!
‐ 'Clear.'

‐ Alright, we got a rhythm.
‐ Sinus tach at 160.

'Lidocaine a 100 IV, push.'

Dopamine 400 in 500,
start it at ten.

'Alright, we got a pulse.'

'Okay. I'll take him.'

You. Stick with me.
Do those burr holes in OR.

‐ If you don't, he's toast.
‐ He's not stable.

Yeah, well, he's as stable as
he's going to get. Let's move.

Uh, Peter? We have some
other sick people down here

if you want them, too.

Wow. What'd he
have for breakfast?

Something hard to digest.

Oh, Suz, did you forget?

I'm not on till 11:00.

We can sleep in.

Yeah..

Oh, you're soaked.

Yeah, okay.

Oh, boy.

Yeah.

‐ Yes?
‐ 'Good morning, Ms. Lewis.'

'It's Ms. Pearline
with social services.'

‐ Uh, who?
‐ 'Ms. Pearline.'

I'm here for your home visit,
for the adoption.

What?

Well, I, uh, I‐I worked
really late last night.

Well, you can reschedule

but it will take
another four to six weeks.

Uh, no, no, no. Come on up.

Just come up slowly, please.

‐ Mornin'.
‐ Actually, goodnight.

‐ 'Hey, Dr. Ross.'
‐ Hey.

Still got that extra ticket
to the Bulls‐Spurs game?

Well, Jerry, I do
have two tickets

but they're not extra.

The ones your dad gave you?

‐ Um‐hmm.
‐ I thought you threw those out.

Was going to, but they're
mid‐court about ten rows up.

Well, you guys heard about all
the excitement here yesterday.

‐ Right?
‐ What excitement?

‐ Scottie Pippen came in.
‐ Here?

He is not.

Yeah.

Actually, he did.
Brought in a kid

from his Cabrini‐Greens
Tutoring Program.

They'd had a basketball clinic.

Kid took a charge,
broke his collar bone.

Nice try, Jerry, lot of
details...almost believable.

It's the truth. Look.

Look. I got his autograph.

You know what that's worth?

It's "i‐n," not "e‐n."

‐ No, it's "e‐n." It was him.
‐ Who else was on?

Kid's mom showed up so
Scottie split pretty quick.

So nobody else saw him.

‐ I'm heading upstairs.
‐ Can we watch?

My God, Connie.
Haven't you had that baby yet?

Oh, you won't have me
to make fun of after today.

Thought you were working
up to your due date.

I have. And then some.

Doc's inducing if nothing
happens by Monday.

'I'm going up to OB
for a non‐stress test.'

Feel like a damn elephant.

Elephant's gestation
period is two years.

Oh, shut your mouth.

Okay, my interview
is not till 4 o'clock.

Benton will be done
with the Billroth by 10:30.

I'll find him. I won't beg.
I'll be dignified.

I'm not gonna have a fair shot
at this internship if I tell him

unless he rewrites
my letter of recommendation.

Ninety applicants for six slots!

How did you even see it, anyway?

It was on his desk. And oh..

"Has put forth
a consistent effort."

That's what he says about me.

"He has acquired
solid technical skills."

‐ I told you that part.
‐ Several times.

You know, I know he and
I have had our differences

but I've worked
my butt off for him.

Where the hell's our train?

John, how soon after intercourse

can you get a pregnancy
result by blood test?

Seven days. Did I tell you
about the other applicants?

Harvard, Yale,
Stanford, Hopkins..

I got the home court
advantage, but still..

Wait a second. Did you
just say pregnancy?

You think you're pregnant?

How's that possible?
We‐we've been really careful.

‐ I know
‐ Did‐did you miss your period?

No, not yet.

I'm just obsessing.
You don't need this today.

I know. This whole interview
thing is nerve‐racking enough.

I'm sorry. You want
to draw some blood?

It can wait.

I'm just being paranoid.

You worry about your interview.

Okay, okay. We need some help!

‐ What happened?
‐ We need some help!

Hey, we need some help here.

'Don't tell me
your water broke.'

Sprinkler system went berserk

on the fourth floor.

It's raining cats and dogs

and we can't shut it off!

Need a hand here, quick!

‐ Jerry.
‐ 'Yes, yes.'

The whole West wing
is getting soaked.

Labor, delivery
and the nursery?

‐ NICU, postpartum..
‐ Uh, Dr. Ross?

All of the high‐risk women

are going up to the sixth.
Everyone else is down here.

‐ How many? How many?
‐ Eight, I think.

‐ All in active labor.
‐ Oh, boy. Alright.

Chuny! Okay, we're going to need

some dry gowns,
some warming lamps

also, uh, you got to change..

Uh, blow dryers if you can
round any of them up.

‐ This is a new one.
‐ This really sucks.

‐ Uh, Dr. Ross..
‐ 'Yeah.'

‐ This one's pretty ripe.
‐ Okay..

Is there any time
between your contractions?

‐ No. None.
‐ Alright.

Uh, let's get a pelvic bed
set up in trauma one.

'Somebody call Mark.'

Watch backs, coming through!

Final ligature.
Spleen's out. Suction.

So I guess if you're
looking to kill yourselves

the L tracks
will do the job, uh‐huh.

Alright, we're dry.

‐ Send it to Pathology.
‐ What do you wanna tackle next?

Alright, let's run the small
bowel for perforations.

How's the arm look?

Bad as the rest of him.

Think you can save this guy?

We're chasing our tails here.

Damn!

'He's hemorrhaging.'

Uh, it looks arterial.

Alright, let's open him up.

It's your party, but this
is a teaching exercise now.

What do you mean
teaching exercise?

There's no life to save here.

You want to bet?

Sternal saw.

Take some galoshes and
an umbrella if you have to

but find me an extra stash of
preemie and term‐sized ambu bags

an infant ET tubes..

Make sure we have
some bulb syringes.

‐ You got it.
‐ Christy..

Your baby's head
is engaged in the canal

but the membrane
isn't ruptured yet

'so we're gonna have to do
an amniotomy to rupture it.'

What's the presentation?

Station two plus
fully effaced and dilated.

‐ I'll be right back.
‐ Yup.

'He went to buy film! He
won't even know where I am!'

We'll find him, just relax.

‐ Taking an incubator.
‐ Blankets!

'Chuny, you were on yesterday.'

Tell Dr. Ross
Scottie Pippen was in here.

Oh, yeah. And so were,
uh, Jordan and Rodman.

Jerry and Connie and I
beat them, three on three.

It's a monsoon up there. All
our fetal monitors are trashed..

How many do you have down here?

'A few. We'll rotate them.'

High risks went to six,
which is where I have be.

But I'll just send down
a couple of residents.

‐ We can handle it.
‐ Who's attending?

Good, push, push! That's it.

‐ You know Mark Greene?
‐ Oh, yes.

Membrane ruptured?

We had to do it for her.

‐ What, was the head engaged?
‐ Yes.

Don't want a cord prolapse.

Okay, now, when you get the urge

I want you to just
go ahead and push. Okay?

Okay, good.

Ooh, seeing a head here.

Alright, here it comes.
Now take a deep breath.

Deep breath.

'Push.'

‐ Patient in exam two is ready.
‐ I'm on my way.

Mrs. Wilson, you have
a beautiful baby boy.

Fundus is firm.
Placenta's coming.

Activity two,
pulse two...grimace two.

'One laceration.'

Dr. Greene,
will you suture?

I think I can handle that.

Apgar's nine. I'll
check again in five.

Use 2‐0 chromic.

Interrupted suture
for the muscularis layer

interlocking
for the mucosa.

Yeah, we‐we can manage
from here, Janet.

‐ You got other fish to fry.
‐ Just don't take any chances.

You run into any trouble,
run them straight to us.

Six east for all
C‐sections, understood?

Uh‐huh, uh, we're going
to need another bassinet.

‐ They'll be sending them down.
‐ No, we need another one now.

She's having contractions again.

‐ What!
‐ Why?

I hope you're ready
for an encore there

because you're
having another one.

Oh, my God. I don't believe it.

She came in just
before the sprinklers.

When nobody had
a chance to monitor her.

I had an ultrasound months ago.

I got a hold of the head.

No, no, no. Make that the tush.

This is a breech. I'll deliver.

No, no. I'm okay.

‐ I got a good hold here.
‐ What's wrong?

Well, it looks like your second
baby wants to be different

so he's going to
come out butt first.

'Now just push.'

Get the feet out.

Good, good, Christy.

Good, Christy. Good, good.

Push. Push. Alright, good.

Push. Alright. That's good.
That's really good, Christy.

Keep going,
keep going. Push, push.

Good.

Okay.

Those are the shoulders.
Just relax, okay?

'Cause I got to get
a good grip on the head.

Flex the head.

Alright, now push gentle for me.

'Nice and slow.
Good, good, good.'

Good! Excellent!

Nice, nice.

'Nice work, mom. Oh, there.'

Oh, my God. Two of them.

Smooth, Mark. You'd think you
delivered a breech every day.

Page me if you need me.

Okay.

Doug? You can suction.
Mom, relax.

The place...was a pigsty.

And Suzy has this
bruise over her eye

from pulling the
high chair over her.

The more I explained it,
the phonier it sounded.

I'm sure you were the best

adoption candidate
they've had all month.

I don't know. They're sending
this guy over this week.

For work side
interviews. Please lie.

Can you take
this girl in three?

We prefer to be
called "women" now.

Yeah, well, you judge
for yourself.

With my last two,
I had pitocin and an epidural

with no complications.

I'd love to pit you, hon, but‐‐

Well, with the shortage of
monitors, we can't be sure

if your baby's having distress.

I'm in distress.

If I wanted a natural childbirth
I'd have stayed home.

Pfft! What are they gonna come
up with next, natural dentistry?

Okay, Ms. Amayo...

'Uh..'

Tina.

How are you doing?

It hurts.

Okay, I'm going to put
these on you for a reading.

Did they tell you
about the monitor upstairs?

'I don't know.
There was a lot of stuff.'

Yeah.

Oh, good. A doctor's here.

Sorry, Tina.
They didn't have "X‐men."

I'm Dr. Lewis. I was just
explaining the monitor to Tina.

It's been a crazy day for her.

So your daughter's 13?

Uh, she's not our daughter.

We've only known Tina
for a few months.

We're adopting her baby.

She called us when
the contractions began.

Her mother was...out.

‐ Did you find my mama?
‐ Oh, she's still not home.

I'll try again
in a little while.

‐ And who examines that?
‐ Your urine specimen?

‐ Yeah.
‐ We send that to the lab.

And you'll alert them
about my abduction?

Not that I expect them to have
tests to identify alien life.

No, probably not.

But if they do find
something unusual

maybe the FBI or NASA
will listen to them.

They certainly don't take
phone calls from the victims

of extraterrestrial
insemination.

Pregnant by aliens?

‐ It was so humiliating.
‐ I bet.

Oh.

‐ Here's one more to go.
‐ Okay.

And...this goes with it.

For a pregnancy test.

You ready for another look?

Oh, could we do two more laps?

I want to be at least
four centimeters this time.

‐ She's very goal‐oriented.
‐ Walk on.

Oh, I hate men like that.
It gives you false hope.

It's safer to believe
that guys like that don't exist.

Oh, finally. Fresh recruits.

Thought this shift
would never end.

Carter, want to scrub in?

'I would, but they
asked me to give a tour'

to the visiting
candidates of the hospital.

‐ Stiff competition.
‐ Um‐hmm.

I had a couple hours
to kill before my interview.

You know, at four?
So I thought I'd come by.

Hey! I was hoping that you
managed to get a final draft

of my letter of rec out.

One draft. Sent it last week.

Great, great, great.

Great. Thanks.

Nice work.

Peter, word's gotten around this
is where the resurrection is.

I have some students who want
to watch you raise the dead.

They'll have a good
view from there.

Yeah, they'll benefit
from learning how and why

you decided to pursue
this hopeless case.

"How and why."

I saw this guy.
I knew I could fix him.

I went to work.

So she's 110 over 70..

Good call, Kerry.
She's abrupted.

Any time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever.

You know, he said he was
going to send some tickets.

Jerry, are you still telling
that Scottie Pippen story?

It's not a story.

Shh! Here she comes.

Hey, Connie.

‐ The beet soup, huh?
‐ That's what they say.

I don't know. Crazy.

It's put a lot
of women in labor.

Was on the newspaper.

What has?

The beet soup over
at Doc Magoo's.

‐ Induces labor.
‐ Oh, come on.

‐ 'Yeah, I read that.'
‐ It's not that farfetched.

A lot of plants have
ergot alkaloid derivatives.

And what do those do?

They make the uterus contract.

Susan..

Yeah?

I've been monitoring
Leah Russell.

A few things don't add up.

She hasn't been able
to give us a urine sample.

Her chart shows she's had
two previous births.

She told me she lives alone.

She's nervous, underweight..

You're thinking drugs?

I checked a few hospitals.
And as a teen

she gave birth
to two crack babies.

One she lost at six months,
one was taken away at birth.

Lead the way.

Ooh, boy. Here we go again.

Hi, dad.

I hate this part!

Try to save your breath, Monica.

If you don't get
a vasectomy, I swear

'you're having the next one.'

'Oh! How big is this kid?'

Alright, alright.
Ease up on the pushing, okay?

There's the head..

Would you please shut up?

Well, she has to go through
this herself soon.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

That's it.

Look at that one!
She's a ten‐pounder.

‐ I take it back.
‐ Hon, you scream all you want.

Suction?

Baby's lethargic. Apgar three.

Hold on. Hold on. Okay.

No. Okay. Alright.

‐ Let's bag her.
‐ Is something wrong?

'Ma'am, did you test
positive for diabetes'

'during your prenatal care?'

What‐what‐what's wrong?

CPR Right now. I'll intubate.

Prep an umbilical line,
and heel‐stick a glucose.

‐ 'Please.'
‐ What is it?

This never happened
with my other kids.

You may have developed
gestational diabetes

'during your pregnancy.'

'Bolus her with 2cc's per kilo.'

‐ Was she breathing?
‐ Weak respiratory effort.

Give her a 10cc
infusion of d‐10

and stick her
for another glucose.

Why isn't she crying?

Your baby's been intubated.
Okay, just try and lie back.

Try and lie back, Monica. Relax.

Jeanie tells me
you're having trouble

giving us a urine sample.

Yeah, I tried.

Well, I suggest you try again

because if you
can't produce a sample

we're gonna have to put a
catheter in you to get one.

Why do you even need it?

So we can do a tox screen.

You do those
on white women, too?

We do it on everyone
who has a history

of drug or alcohol abuse.

So I suggest you cooperate.
Let me know the results.

‐ You looked me up.
‐ Shall we?

‐ You had to tell her?
‐ She's the doctor.

Well, I was just trippin'
because I was busted before.

I was a kid then,
but now, I'm clean.

Let's find out.

‐ Pulse ox 98.
‐ Yeah.

Now, that's what I want to hear.

Come here, you. Look at that.

Oh, Dr. Greene,
thank you. Thank you.

Wait. I didn't get it.
Do that again.

Oh, thank you!

‐ Dr. Ross?
‐ Yeah, yeah.

‐ Get over here.
‐ No, no, no, no.

Oh, come on. Come on, come on.

Nurses, too. This is the doctor
that saved our little Renee.

I love you.

‐ Here. Me, too, doc.
‐ Okay.

I love you.

You know what?
I love that doctor, too.

Alright. I want
a copy of that one.

Okay, I'm gonna take
little Renee up to NICU.

And have them check her out.
Congratulations.

I got it on tape.

Oh.

Pleased to meet you.

John carter.
Pleased to meet you.

Ken Matsumitsu. You're from..

I'm the local guy. You're..

From Boston.

Ken's the Howard Hughes
fellow at Harvard this year.

Oh. Congratulations.

John Carter.
Pleased to meet you.

Andrea Zucker. Stanford.

Ah, California.
Explains the tan.

No. actually, I just
got back from Senegal.

Did ten months
in a clinic there.

‐ Oh.
‐ Oh, this is Martin Fisher.

‐ How are you?
‐ Martin Fisher.

Published in "Nature"
last month.

That's me.

Okay, guys. We can all go home.

'Did you read it?'

He cloned tyrosine
kinase receptors.

Wow. Well, shall we,
with the...tour? Hmm?

La espalda!

Es la espalda!

Her back is killing her.
What can I do?

Oh, okay. Tina,
roll on your side.

When the contraction start,
you press down on her back.

Give her some relief.

‐ Like this?
‐ Yeah. Good, good.

Esta bien,
mi vida tu a haber.

Tu a haber, mi vida
que todo sera poner bien.

Esta bien.

Is she doing okay?

Yeah, thanks to
the two of you.

I just hope she's not
depending on us too much.

What do you mean?

She needs a mother herself.
We‐we can only adopt a baby.

We can't take her, too.

‐ Give me the bullet.
‐ Allow me.

I'm Dr. Anna Castiglioni,
internal medicine

in my 34th week.

I have a scheduled
induction for Monday.

My membrane ruptured 40 minutes
ago. I'm fully dilated.

I'll take the express elevator
to labor and delivery.

I'm sorry,
Dr. Castiglioni

but L&D has
maintenance problems.

So we're taking
all admits in here today.

You have your hands full?

Yeah, but I think
we can handle one more.

Alright, on my count.
One, two, three.

Sorry. I think
you left this behind.

Stage three carcinoma
of the breast.

I had a mastectomy
six years ago.

Cancer flared up
again last spring.

I was started on
a CMF chemo regimen

and slated for radiation
when I found out I was pregnant.

Are there any
implications for the fetus?

The ultrasounds look
fine, but methotrexate

is contraindicated
in the first trimester.

So I won't rest easy
till I see this baby.

Well, it shouldn't be long.

The angels were
watching over her.

If I'd had the radiation

she would have gotten
a toxic dose.

You suspended
your own treatment?

For the first trimester.

I've been on a modified
regimen since then.

'It wasn't
a hard choice.'

I've got a matter
of months left.

My baby has
her whole life ahead.

You're right, doctor.
You are fully dilated.

Alright, let's call
Coburn and tell her

we got one on
the way up.

Dr. Coburn?
Oh, no. Please.

I have worked too hard
for this delivery

to have Janet Coburn
anywhere near it.

You're old friends, huh?

Still, all the high risks
have to go up.

I'm not considered
high risk.

Dr. Lopez was going
to induce me

in the birthing center.

Is Ferdie there?

I hope you're calling
your husband

'cause this baby is on her way.

My husband's
already driving in.

Fernando!

You'll never guess
where I am.

Let me hand you over
to Dr. Mark Greene.

It's my OB.
Now, break it to him gently.

He's gonna be jealous.

Man, look at this.

Standing room only.

So you got Humpty Dumpty
back together again, huh?

Getting there.

Marathon surgery.

You run the 20k too?

Not since med school.
How's it look?

Massive crush injury.
We should amputate.

This guy's gonna live.
He might as well keep his arm.

It's longer than a long shot.

Look, it won't hurt to try.

Well, she'll thank you.

Patient's mom.
She works over in recovery.

Said to tell you
"God bless."

Okay, spectators.

No intermission. We're going
straight into the next act.

I owe you an apology.

Your tox screen
came back negative.

I told you
I kicked it.

People don't think
you can, but I did.

You must be a strong lady.

Not strong enough to
take much more of this.

There she is!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my, my.

Oh, Look at me,
I'm on a rip.

Oh, look like
this baby's giving you

a real workout,
girlfriend.

That's for sure.

I brought you some candy.

We're pretty crowded.
We have to limit visitors.

‐ But I'm her sister.
‐ Birthing coach.

And sister.

Okay. Just don't
stay too long.

Oh! Look at you!

‐ Jeanie, have you seen Harper?
‐ Not recently.

She sent out blood tests
for the woman in exam two.

Ah, the alien abduction.

Yeah. This is so odd.

I want my mama!

We're here
with you, Tina!

Blow! Blow, go on!

It hurts!

Yes, that's because
your baby's coming.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Next door.

Got it, got it.
Blow, okay?

Doing great, doctor.
Doing great.

There's meconium
in the fluid.

Amnioinfuse,
500cc's normal saline.

Look, you push,
I'll run the procedure.

Do exactly what she said.

Since then, I've had
the most awful nosebleeds.

‐ Harper. There you are.
‐ Dr. Weaver.

Whatever possessed you
to run a pregnancy test

on this visibly
gestational woman?

I‐I...had a lapse.

I don't know
what I was thinking.

Until the hypnosis, I thought
I was absent‐minded.

Maybe they got into you, too.

Maybe they beamed up
the entire lab.

Because Ms. Clark's pregnancy
test came back negative.

Oh, yes!

I told you this was
no ordinary conception.

It was not. It's pseudocyesis,
and a classic case of it.

Ms. Clarke's pelvic exam
confirms the labs.

She's not pregnant.

But look at her.

Distended abdomen from
hyperventilation

due to contractions.

She's got a colon
full of gas.

'That's what
they always say.'

Those creatures blew
their interstellar filth

into all my cavities,
and it's hibernating there.

Yeah. Good choice.

The whole father‐in‐waiting
thing has changed

since the Ricky Ricardo days.

It's nice to preserve
some traditions.

‐ Excuse me.
‐ Just a sec.

‐ I mean, I know how you feel‐‐
‐ Excuse me.

Hey, can't you see we're..

Hey, Jerry, right?

Uh‐huh.

I just want to thank you again.

You're welcome.

Uh...can you stay here
for just one minute?

One minute.
One minute.

How is the fetal heart rate?

One forty, good variability.

I'm not progressing!

You can do it.

‐ Dr. Ross.
‐ I'm busy in here.

Right, he's here.
Scottie Pippen.

Jerry.

Okay. Okay.
I'll bring him here.

Where did he go?
Where did he go?

'Who?'

Scottie Pippen.

Is he kind of
a tall guy?

Yeah, you could say that.

He said to tell
everyone thanks.

Ah, like they're
gonna believe that!

I can't.
I can't.

Yes, you can.
You are.

Hold your breath.
Use it to push the baby out.

I'm gonna die.

No, no, you're not.
You're doing beautifully.

Okay, Tina. One more time,
and then you're there.

You said that before.

I know you are doing
such a hard thing

and you're doing a great job.

I've seen grown women who

can't hang in there like that.

Really?

Really, I'm so proud of you.

Okay, come on.
Bare down. Bare down!

'Bare down.
Come on, bare down!'

Shouldn't be long now.
Did your friend leave?

Yeah.

Can I go to the bathroom?

Sure.

Wait, lemme help you.

I can do it.

What's wrong?

Get this damn stuff
away from me.

Your friend bring this?

Damn! Am I ever
going to kick this stuff?

I been clean
for two months.

But you did use crack
during your pregnancy.

Yeah.

I mean, not too much
after the beginning.

I have to let
the doctors know.

He‐help my partner!
He was electrocuted.

Grab that gurney!

Come on!

Here. Lie him here.

He's soaking wet.
What happened?

We were up in OP
working in standing water.

A 220 line fell.
It must have been hot.

Yeah. Here's the entrance
wound, right palm.

Exit wound on the foot.

Let's try trauma two.

Need a room!

‐ Yeah. We'll move next door.
‐ In here.

Careful of the baby.
Can we crowd in?

Fifteen liters O2,
by mask.

Start him on an IV
Saline, TKO.

Pulse ox.

Get him on a cardiac monitor.

‐ Got a good vein here.
‐ Lidocaine 100.

I.V. push.

What about you?
How are you doing, sir?

Oh, when I knocked him
away from the ladder

I guess I got
a little jolt.

Sit down here, sir.
We're gonna take care of you.

Here you go.

She is perfect.

Look at that.

Picture of health.

Hello, beautiful.

Hello.

I didn't think
it would be so hard.

That's why
they call it labor.

I mean...I didn't think
it would be so hard

to see her, when I know..

I love you.

I will always love you.

Shh..

The easiest birth
I've ever seen.

We don't usually give
extra credit on the Apgar

but when they come out
reciting Shakespeare..

Well, he takes
after his mom.

Couldn't have done it
without you.

Yeah, we're still trying
to figure out

how to clone
your husband.

Could happen.

Little Thomas here is
a chemistry experiment.

In‐vitro fertilization.

Miracle baby.

‐ Dr. Ross?
‐ Hmm?

We set up a full OB on six.

We're gonna start transporting
the postpartum women

and their newborns.

We've got one more
close to delivery.

Okay, so that's
eight mothers to transport

and nine healthy newborns.

That's a nice ratio,
Dr. Greene.

Moms did all the work.

Dr. Ross,
this is Mr. Wilson.

His wife had the twins.

Oh, hey, hi.

Dispatch called.
I was on the Berkeley run.

It was snowed in out there.

It took them three hours
to get a relief driver.

Almost three more
to get me back in.

You wanna see your kids?

‐ I sure would.
‐ Come on.

Here you go.

Boys, I'd like you
to meet your father.

I'm sorry I wasn't here
for you guys.

That's not how it's gonna be.

I'm gonna always
be here for you

whenever you need me.

And sometimes
when you think you don't.

'I'm your dad.'

And that's my job.

To be there.

You'll be
a great father.

They say it's all about
the kind of start you get.

She's crowning,
Dr. Ross.

‐ The crack baby?
‐ Mm‐hmm.

Okay.
Excuse me.

Push. Push. Push. Good.

Good. Yes.

You have a
little girl.

‐ Is she okay?
‐ She's beautiful.

Is she breathing?

Oh, yes, she is.

'Apgar seven.'

Head circumference may
be on the smaller side.

What does that mean?

It means, ma'am,
that your daughter

for the moment seems fine.

But you were doing crack
while you were pregnant

which can cause
developmental problems.

Learning problems that
we may not know about

for months, maybe even years.

I'm gonna take her
up to NICU.

But you're bringing
her back though, right?

You're giving her back to me?

'I'll get to have her?'

Yes, you probably will.

So even though my family
was predisposed to law

I was the black sheep
and decided to go into medicine.

Shoot. Can I try again?

The point, Mr. Carter,
is to tie the knot

without pulling the clip
away from the magnet.

I know.

Mr. Carter, can you run through
the steps of an adrenalectomy?

Uh...sure.

Identify the mass by, uh, CT.

Make a Kocher incision.

I almost had it.

What if that had been a patient?

And your inept technique caused

'uncontrolled arterial
hemorrhage?'

I, uh..

I‐I would repair the damage..

...and..

...proceed.

Good answer, Mr. Carter.

It may not be possible
to tie that knot

without dropping the magnet.

But you didn't
lose your cool

and that matters.

That, and your
academic record.

Your board scores,
and your letters of rec.

Quite frankly, um‐‐

Carl Vucelich sent
his standard glowing report.

Still didn't fix the typo
in the second paragraph.

But it's Dr. Benton's letter,
that gives us the most..

'...pause.'

I am at a loss to explain..

You're one of the first
students to survive Dr. Benton.

But to have him use words
like "solid" in connection

'with surgical technique..'

'High praise from Benton.'

Not to mention full knowledge

of anatomy and diagnostic tools.

'That's tantamount to gushing.'

Are you sure he wrote this?

He did.

Well, you're the most
impressive candidate

'but we have many
impressive candidates.'

'One last thing.'

Tell us why
you wanna be a surgeon?

It's not a trick question.

Hmm. No. Um, hmm.

I, uh, I see people
with injury or disease..

...and I know that
I can fix them.

So that's what I want to do.

Oh, excuse me, nurse.
How soon before they move her?

Oh, it shouldn't
be too long.

Oh, you probably have time,
I'm starving.

I'm just gonna
to run to that diner

across the street
and get her something to eat.

I loved that beet soup
I had there last night.

Do you know what that lady
in curtain one just said?

‐ What?
‐ I'm out of here.

You're not gonna, uh,
join us?

No. Sorry, gotta see someone.

Join who?

Leslie! Leslie!

Oh!

He's beautiful.

You two finally
have your family.

'I'm so sorry
that I missed it.'

'Thank you, Harris,
for everything.'

We're making you two
the godfathers.

Too good to be true.

You check his crit
in 30 minutes.

Don't forget, 15 mics
per kilogram per minute.

Page me stat if
his systolic BP.

drops under 100, huh?

Carter, what are you
doing here?

Brought you dinner.

Tofu, brown rice,
veggies on the side.

Thanks.

I know it's been hard lately.

I just want to thank you..

...for setting the bar high,
for everything.

For being
a good example.

The interview
went okay, huh?

It's hard to say.
I think so.

Is that guy
gonna live?

Yeah, I think so.

It's just..

...now that I've seen her..

...she's so pretty.

Yes, she is, but it's also
a huge responsibility.

Not that much.

I have a baby and
it is an impossible job.

You never think
you're doing well enough.

My mom will help.

I'd pay you guys back someday
for the pre‐natal stuff.

We don't want
the money, Tina.

You shouldn't change
your mind right now

where everything
is so emotional.

'Tina!'

My baby!
Oh, look at this!

‐ We tried to find you, mama.
‐ Oh, it's a boy or a girl?

‐ A girl.
‐ Oh, that's lucky!

She's just like you
with lots of hair.

I think she knows me.

She's got your eyes, huh?

Oh, yes. Yes.

'Oh, look at that.'

I wanna keep her.

Well, of course,
you do, baby.

'Mira, look at that
witty bitty face.'

Yes, mi pobrecita.

Excuse me. Is there another
Hotel Dupree around this area?

No. It's the only one.
Problem?

No, no. It's just, uh, it's
not quite the dive I expected.

Uh, I'm here to see a guest.

Ray Ross?

Oh, no, Mr. Ross
is in the bar.

‐ Why am I not surprised?
‐ But he isn't a guest.

Mr. Ross owns this hotel.

Hey.

Doug.

Oh, surprise.

‐ You found me.
‐ You left your number, Ray.

Oh, yeah.

C'mon, have a drink.

Listen, Ray, I just wanted
to, wanted to, give you these.

You know, I was going
to play along, Ray, you know

like mom and I always did.

You know, Take your...your
gifts that drop out of the blue.

But I decided, uh, no.

I can't let you
get away with it.

Not this time. So..

Y‐you're not my father.

A father is someone
who was there

and you never were.

I know, I'm sorry.

You and your mother
deserved better.

‐ Well, she did.
‐ No, you did, too.

‐ Hey, Jimmy.
‐ Yeah.

‐ I'll have a bottle of Maker's.
‐ Right away.

Hey, look, I'm beat. I delivered
eight babies today, so..

Oh, yeah, sure.
I‐I understand.

Boy, the night
you were born..

...I swore I was
a changed man.

Your mother must have told you
how you came into this world?

Well, it's a
hell of a story.

She must have told you
about the skates, huh?

She did love skates.

We were up at the cabin,
and the lake was‐‐

Cabin, the one that
the‐the bank took back?

Yeah, well, that was,
uh, that was a mix‐up.

Anyway, you weren't due
for another two weeks

and there your mother was.

‐ She went into labor.
‐ Right.

Then the lake was frozen over.

The doctor was, uh‐uh,
afraid to drive across the ice.

So there's your mother, huh?

Strapping on skates
between contractions.

I‐I swear, I thought I was
gonna have deliver you myself.

Where is everybody?

You're the last
one to clock out.

Well, it's my last day
for a while.

Good luck.

Excuse me.

Do you have any
beet soup tonight?

‐ Oh, you want the...beet soup?
‐ Yeah.

Surprise!

Oh, they got you good!

I hate you guys.
I hate you.

‐ Congratulations. Any day now.
‐ Aww!

We are so happy for you.

And happy it's not us.

Well put.

Here you go. Little Suzy
liked it. I hope you do.

One order of beet soup
and we can rush back

for Connie's delivery.

I wish! I wish. Oh!

That's a good shot.

Are you out of breath?

No. No, no.
Get out of there.

Come on.

You're getting slow
in your old age.

Come on, give me a break.
Give me a break!

No! You can't spin it.

Alright, Watch this one.

You better guard.

'Ah!'

Okay, rematch. Two out of three.

Uh, what do you want
to play for?

Uh...tickets to the Bulls game.

One for each of us,
alright?

You're on.
Let's go.

Alright.

Okay, are you out of breath yet?
You need to sit down?

'That's a score, champ.'
