- Thanks for taking her on. - You can do it with me.
- What if instead of looking for a job, I open a clinic.
- Cleveland?
- I figured Mark Novak could easily step in...
- That's not an option. - You're too damaged
to be a mother, June.
- I just know that you're resisting us.
- I've lost sight of all of it, Liz.
- I can't keep waiting.
- To go through all this just to be here, it's...
I believe in you. And you can do whatever you want.
- I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am.
- Why was she working? You should've stopped her.
- Don't blame yourself. - I didn't deserve her.
I'm just here to clear up my locker.
- What if you didn't?
- It was basically like any other big loud city.
The dorm they put us in was super cramped,
and the girl I was sharing a room with snored all night.
- You don't have to make it seem like you didn't have any fun
in London for my sake, Amira.
Must have been exciting, the adventure.
I'm sorry it got cut shorter.
It's part of the reason I waited to tell you.
- Don't be sorry. I wanted to come home.
I miss her, too.
- Um, this open house with your school?
- Tomorrow. Are you coming?
- No, I'm working, but...
- You don't have to if you can't.
- If you want me to, I will.
- Bashir...
- Ten micrograms per kilo per hour.
Use a calculator if you're not 100 on the math.
- Guess I'm gonna have to get used to feeling
like a first year all over again.
Just finished my last shift.
- Ah.
Have you looked up who else is on your surgical team?
- Yeah, mostly dudes. Uh, a lot of pictures of hiking.
So, I mean, I'm not doing this to make friends.
- My first surgical attending
thought my name was Ajax for two years.
- And you didn't correct him? - If I could go back,
I'd do it on rounds in front of everyone.
Prove I had the stones. - So you're suggesting
I pick a fight with the biggest bully in the prison yard.
- Hey, if you don't want my wisdom, that's on you.
Okay, go,
before my resident comes back and thinks I'm a softie.
- It's a letter of intent saying you'll take over
in good faith and purchase my practice when you're ready.
- Right, and time wise, you were thinking?
- Six weeks. Enough time to make sure
your CPSO licence covers independent family medicine.
While we're waiting for paperwork,
we can inform patients and staff and make a handover plan.
- You wanna start that already?
- Well, if we're expecting people to make this major change in their lives,
it's a message we have to project soon and with confidence.
- Okay, but I was thinking maybe three months.
- Theo, if you're having second thoughts, tell me now.
Before my wife starts pricing cruises.
- No, that's not what, um... Just give me one second.
Barry.
Why aren't you in your room? - Hey, Theo.
I think it's out again. - Barry, I reduced
your kneecap 20 minutes ago.
How could you already be imaged and discharged?
- Well, it felt so much better once it popped in.
I decided not to wait. - So you walked on it.
Barry, we talked about this. - I know.
But it hurts, man, so much worse than the last time.
- Look, I have a patella to reset.
I'll give you a call later, okay, Mac?
We're gonna get you back in your room, okay?
- Hi, Muriel.
- The things of hers that you sent...
Thank you.
I finally started to, um, sift through.
It's not easy, but it's necessary.
I don't know if this helps.
- No, no, it does.
I wanted to see how you were.
- I'm, uh...
You know?
- I do.
- Thank you for calling.
- Okay, next week.
Oh, Neeta, did you have the room booked?
Because we're just finishing up here.
- I just heard through the grapevine
that Mark Novak is back in emerg as co-chief.
Tell me that isn't true, Neil,
because I know how false rumours can spread.
- He came to me last week after your overture.
It took a few days to negotiate, but...
- My overture. I didn't offer him co-chief.
- Well, those were his terms and we need him in Trauma OR.
- And you agreed to that without even talking to me?
- Well, with Curtis leaving so suddenly,
I just solved a problem you couldn't.
- We both know Mark lacks patience required for management.
Well, maybe he wants to learn.
So did you when you took this job.
- Is this constructive dismissal?
- Are you suggesting that I want you to quit?
Let's not overreact here.
- All you've done is set me up to fail.
- You have had one chance after another to prove yourself.
- I'm not quitting.
If you want me out, you'll have to fire me.
- Did one of you text me, "911"?
- Emergency farewell session.
- There's only a few people I'm not ghosting, so.
- Well, what is this? Like a group hug situation or?
- No. - Well, are you excited, June?
- Have you ever known me to be excited about anything, Theo?
- Okay, so we're gonna be caustically mean to each other right to the bitter end.
- Okay, it's just that the ceiling at this hospital in Cleveland is high.
You know, it's gonna feel good
to be challenged, but I'm nervous.
- It's not too late to change your mind.
- I signed a contract. - Well, you're going bigger,
I'm going smaller. - That family practice
you're taking over, is that still happening?
- And before one of you can caustically make the point,
I realize that I am right back where I started
taking over for a retiring pediatrician.
This just isn't the right place for me.
And I'm good at that kind of work.
- Are you trying to convince us or yourself?
- After everything that happened,
I'm trying to just trust that I'm making
the right call this time.
- So I finally get offered a permanent position,
and you two can't leave fast enough.
- Did you tell Devi that you're officially taking it?
- Not yet, but she'll want an answer soon.
- Makes sense. You're feeling weird?
Taking her job?
- If she was here, she...
I mean, she'd want you to do it. - We don't know what she'd say.
- The map always takes you to Niagra Falls,
but it's easier to cross the border in Buffalo.
- And Erie, Pennsylvania is half way between here and Cleveland.
- I got Henry on weekends. - Right.
- We'll make it work.
- What happened? - I don't know.
He was wide awake a minute ago. Mr. Evans?
- Responding to stimuli but he's out.
Did you give him anything? - Just fluids.
- Bashir?
- Claire, are you, uh...
- He's stable, I'm gonna call cardiology.
- Madiha? Madiha?
- Hamed?
Is that the fire alarm?
- No, um, it's gas.
We need to get everyone out of curtains right now.
- You think the hospital gas is leaking?
- Get everyone to triage until we can confirm.
- Yeah, there's only one of me, Mark.
- Okay, relax, we'll rally. Hamed, you okay?
- Yeah, I need help here.
Four cases of sudden loss of consciousness in five minutes.
- Have you ever seen a hospital leak anesthetic gas?
- The pressure on our delivery system is haywire.
It's probably a hairline fracture in a pipe somewhere.
Emerg has isolated ventilation so hopefully, it's contained.
- To which part of ED? Do they know where it's leaking?
- Definitely the curtain rooms.
I started feeling something there.
- I was 10 feet away, and I didn't.
- We had a patient affected near Trauma, too.
Maybe it's seeping. - We're gonna have to evacuate
the entire department. We're gonna get everyone upstairs
until we can figure out where the risk is.
- How? Bed spacing is a huge issue.
Even if we twist every arm.
- Why don't you just let me handle that, Neeta,
and you can go do other things. - Actually, Mark, why don't you
just worry about Trauma OR?
- I can set up a temporary unit outside.
We'll use portable monitors and trauma bags.
It's something I'm trained to do.
- Do you want to say yes to that, Dr. Devi? Or should I?
Tell us what you need, Bashir.
- Admit anyone unstable, the rest stay on gurneys near the tents.
If they're ambulatory, divert them to walk-in clinics or urgent care.
This patient needs a monitor and high flow of O2.
Arnold has a list, communicate your supply needs now
and not when they're running low.
Come find me if you have any questions.
- Everyone will be accommodated outside.
- My knee dislocation, do we know if he ever made his imaging?
- Uh, last I saw, he was refusing a wheelchair saying he could walk.
Haven't seen him since. - We lost Barry?
- shoving a pen at me, but I'm not signing that consent form.
- Ma'am, I know it's an unpleasant topic,
but you need to understand the risks.
- And you need to understand that I don't want you
swiftly disposing of my uterus as you put it.
- That was a poor choice of words,
and it would only be if necessary.
But you do need surgery. Trust me.
- Ma'am.
Come with me.
- Hemorrhaging uterine fibroid.
- Is Trauma OR even safe? - No, I booked an OR upstairs.
But as soon as I flagged hysterectomy as a risk, she flipped.
- Well, yeah, she's, what, mid-30s max.
You can't just drop a bomb like that.
- Okay, so, you don't even work here anymore,
so let's mark this as the last time
you get to tell me how wrong I am, okay?
Bye, June.
- Keep me posted if anything changes.
Madiha.
- Hello?
- Hey, hey!
That's mine.
- Actually, it's mine.
I have patients who need that to survive.
- I need it to survive. I live here.
And you people are in my way.
- Look, I'm sorry about that.
I'm Bashir. What's your name?
Luke.
- You have emphysema, Luke? Or COPD?
- I always go inside that hospital to charge my phone at this time.
And today, they say I can't.
- Well, if there's somebody
that you need to contact then, please.
- It wants you to watch this.
- Is it on?
- Yeah, why am I filming this again?
- Because I want this one on record.
Well, okay...
- Okay, uh, she is a dancer
who quit performing to teach,
and he curates a fancy cheese shop.
- Okay.
So does that mean they settled
or are they living their best life?
- Well, we're about to find out because I'm gonna ask them.
- Yeah, right. - Why not?
Don't you wanna know how good we are?
- Well, asking would be ridiculous.
- What are you afraid of?
- You need help breathing. I'll be right back.
- Ruth.
Hi, Dr. Curtis.
June.
Look, I know when Dr. Novak had to explain
why they have to do open surgery,
he handled it like an idiot.
- And sent you to apologize for him?
- No, I wanna make sure that you're not making
a bad decision because he said something stupid.
- Was he right? The surgery means I could lose my uterus?
- Some of the fibroids are too connected to other tissues to remove independently.
Yeah, so, it's possible. - Then, no.
Is this thing done? I wanna go.
- Hey, listen, look, I know this is a lot to take in, okay?
But if you keep bleeding inside,
you're gonna go into shock and die.
- I've wanted to get pregnant and be a mom my whole life.
- There are other ways to do that.
- I know that. And I get how this sounds, trust me, I do.
But if I can't...
- I understand.
But you need to let them help you.
- If you're a doctor here, too, June,
why do you keep saying "them"?
- Barry?
Barry, are you back here?
- Oh, Theo. Thank God. - You're awake.
What the hell, man? I've been looking everywhere.
- Five steps in and it gave out again.
I know, I'm an idiot, okay?
- Help me understand why you'd walk on it
after it already popped out twice.
- Oh, more like ten times over the last year, maybe.
- Ten and you didn't do anything about it?
Okay, stay here and hold this, okay?
I'm gonna lift you into this, okay?
- I don't think I can, Theo, it hurts.
- Put your arm around me, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
- Did I hit you?
- No, my... my shoulder popped out.
- Out? What, as in dislocated?
Like my knee? What are the odds?
Ah, it's too painful to stand.
I'm gonna try and text for help.
- You know, the first time it happened,
they referred me to a surgeon.
Lots of pain, and a long recovery
with no guarantee it would even work.
Look, I freaked out.
Are we gonna die from this leak?
The fact you're still awake,
that means it probably isn't circulating back here.
- Okay.
Well, then this could be worse.
- Barry, this is gonna keep happening until you wise up.
- How long do I got to do this?
- The O2 therapy will make a big difference.
After that, we should go to the hospital
and get a chest X-ray just to see the extent of the damage on your lungs.
- Well, at two, there's a drop-in lunch
at St-James that I go to every day.
And then, I have to buy enough cigarettes
to last me through the night.
- We can find you food at the hospital
and you shouldn't smoke.
- At 3:30, I call my brother, and then I have work.
- You don't want me asking you what you do for work.
Look, the BIPAP machine is good for now,
but long-term we should...
- I can do this breathing thing until one and that's it.
- A potential stroke went to imaging, and, uh,
we diverted three more ambulatory patients to St-Agnes.
- Where are we on blood work?
- Well, your call to Public Health helped.
Um, access to their lab has cleared our bottleneck.
Madiha Wasef, I heard stridor.
- BP is 140 over 110, SpO2 90% and falling.
- She's cyanotic and hypoxic. We need to intubate.
- There's, uh, propofol and rocuronium in the trauma bag.
- CT shows a 14 by 19 by 10 centimetre uterine fibroid.
I'm gonna make a four-inch transverse incision.
We're gonna do everything we can to protect her uterus.
- Dr. June Curtis, as I live and breathe,
what are you doing operating on my patient?
- Protecting her from you, apparently.
- Transverse incision?
Vertical minimizes risk if there's a history of adhesions.
- Well, if you had taken the time to review her chart,
you'd know that she's never had surgery.
So there's no risk of adhesions.
- Who is gonna do my homework for me when you're gonna, June?
- Did you want me to retract?
- This is Becky, she's a resident from OB.
- Good for Becky. - Go ahead, Becky, retract.
You know, I'm pretty sure homework doesn't include
triaging the emotional damage you inflict on people.
- Give me the retractor, Becky.
- That doesn't seem like it's infiltrated the uterine wall. Tenaculum?
Man, this thing's gargantuan.
You know, I'm gonna expand the incision.
- Aren't you worried about the blood?
- You know these gestures are less selfless
when you throw them in my face?
- Well, maybe if you acknowledged them
even one time, I wouldn't have to.
- I think you're jealous
because I went after the job I wanted,
and you downgraded to middling shift surgeon.
- Don't tell me how I feel.
- Okay, June and I want the room.
Everybody out. - Everybody stays.
We need the support. - Fine then.
I'll bring them up to speed so they can follow.
- I recruited June for Trauma OR,
and then I got myself summarily dismissed
for yelling at a resident. Do you know Ryan, by the way?
An incompetent little troll.
But anyway, now that I'm back,
June is acting like her thousands of emotional pleas
to me that our work together were meaningful
and important never happened.
- That's because you only came back
after I decided that I was leaving.
So it's too late, Mark, it's too late.
She's hypovolemic.
I told you she's lost too much blood.
- What Becky is saying is that my patient is unstable
and a reproductive fire sale is her only option.
- We're gonna do everything we can to avoid hysterectomy.
- It's her life we're talking about here, June.
- And she doesn't wanna live it feeling damaged.
- I should've never have said that you were too damaged to be a mother, June.
- Guys, her pressure is still dropping.
Shut up, Becky.
- It was never just about motherhood,
it was about feeling like I don't deserve anything.
What?
- Get Dr. Curtis her surgical loops.
- We're gonna go in there
and help her find where it's attached.
We'll do it her way.
- Becky, take this over. - Yeah, got it.
- Okay...
Do you see it?
- Yeah, I see it.
Clamping now.
- Luke.
Luke?
And you took the BIPAP.
- Thank you.
- Just got out of surgery. - Corroded valve located.
They shut off a gas line and diverted,
so we are clear to go back in. Spread word?
- Looks like we weathered the storm.
- Until today's stats explode our weekly wait time averages...
Not your problem.
- Let me know if you get any pushback from Dr. Olsen.
- I'll handle it if I do.
- I could back you up, Neeta.
- How could you possibly expect me to trust you, Mark?
- Just call me finally motivated to find some common ground.
- Bashir.
Hey, I got your text.
- Yeah, that patient I was asking about.
Um, he took off.
I think with a very expensive piece of equipment.
- You said maybe he was unregistered and needed a consul?
- I mean, he's had COPD that's been ignored for years.
I offered him long-term help, and he just seemed fixated
on getting through today.
I recognized the look on his face,
he's stuck in survival mode.
- Well, if he comes back, I'm happy to talk.
- Great.
- This whole setup, it's impressive.
- What if it's just my own version of getting through the day?
You know, another sinkhole to distract me.
- Well, it makes sense to think that.
What happened to Mags is awful.
And so unfair.
- To her.
- And also to you.
After everything that you've been through.
But you're doing the work, you're not stuck anywhere.
- Every time I try to think about my future
or what I want, it just seems wrong.
- It isn't.
- You know, it could be so easy
to just disappear into myself again.
- You're not gonna do that.
You will get through this, Bashir.
- How, Karim?
- You know what to do.
What are you afraid of?
It should be you, not them.
It should be you, not her.
The past is best left where it was.
I just need to get her somewhere safe.
Every time I think I built something, that feeling fades.
Don't look away.
- Okay, Liz, your angle feels off.
- You're too tense, just try and relax.
- I am trying. It hurts.
- Okay, remind me how much hydromorphone he's had?
- Two mgs, and one of ativan.
- I think you should let us use ketamine.
We can wait for ortho and RT if you're nervous.
- No, don't wait. Just ketamine, propofol if you need it.
Rhoda can watch my breathing, I just want it back in.
Okay, push 50 ketamine, Rhoda.
Okay, it's gonna come on fast.
Are you there, Theo? Can you hear me?
Okay, ready when you are, Liz.
- Okay.
He's moving a little bit easier now.
- Ow. - I hate it
when they're still in pain, though.
- Yeah, at least he doesn't know where he is.
Okay, Theo, you're still resisting.
I just need you to let go, why can't you do that?
- Because I'm scared.
- Should we keep... - Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think if I just...
Got it.
Okay, I'll put him in a stabilizer.
- Hi.
- Welcome back.
- What is this? - Aren't you gone?
- Yet, you're still texting me on our group thread.
- You texted "911" again, but I wasn't sure whether it was real this time.
June. - Why is your arm in a sling?
- I thought I was just texting Theo.
Did you come back because of me? - Yes.
I turned around on the highway, ran back here,
changed into my scrubs. I was in surgery.
- Why were you in surgery when you no longer work here, June?
- What happened to your arm, Theo?
- Look, not to diminish, whatever's going on with you,
but I need help. This is Madiha.
Crohn's, mid-flare.
- Why would Chron's lead to intubation?
Was she here during the anesthetic leak?
- Yes. It sent her into rest distress,
but she was already struggling to breathe.
Imaging showed pulmonary edema, but no underlying causes.
When did her symptoms present?
- A few days ago when she got here from Turkey.
I did a screening for possible infections she could've picked up,
but nothing. There must be a complication that I'm missing.
- Blood clot maybe?
IBD inflammation and VTE aren't uncommon.
- Except there's no clot. We did a CT to make sure.
- Nothing cardiogenic underlying?
- EKG, bloods, echo.
- And you're treating the fluid in her lungs?
- Obviously, diuretics.
- Okay, so why did you call us here?
Just treat the edema, send her home,
and follow-up with primary care. - No, I am her primary care.
- And it's not us you wanted to ask.
You're right, we don't know what she'd say.
But we do know we pale in comparison.
- Madiha just got to Canada with her family.
She's shaken from her journey
and this huge change in her life, and...
Look, if I'm honest, she's me.
She's me seven years ago, and she's me right now,
wondering if everything I went through was for nothing.
And...
Um, I'm sorry.
That was, uh...
I have to account for a missing BIPAP machine now.
- You're not alone with any of what you just said, Bash.
- Why do you keep brining her up?
He clearly doesn't want to talk about this.
- Well, I think he does.
I can feel him trying to make sense of it.
- What does it even mean, Theo?
- I don't know.
Someone we loved died.
We have to make sense of it, too.
- When you say you lost it, that machine is worth
more than you make in a year.
- I lent it to an unregistered patient who took it.
He needed help breathing, and at least now,
we know he'll make it through the day.
- Well, that's a good way to get yourself fired.
- Hey. - Hey.
Is that the family?
- Husband and two boys from Aleppo.
- The husband should know there's nothing to worry about.
- Except, is that even true? - Doctors, where we're from,
we don't give bad news the same way you do here.
- Right, I always forget that. It's impolite to tell the truth.
- When I'd watch my parents talk to patients or loved ones,
it just made so much sense.
- Yeah, so there's nothing they can do but worry.
What's the point? - Exactly, yeah.
I'll go talk to them. - Let me.
We agreed to take Madiha on together anyway.
Oh, ah, by the way, I checked out that office space.
You're right, it can work.
But, hey, if the timing's wrong,
staying at Memorial is a good option for you, Bash.
- I just stared at those pills.
- Okay.
The tension of this huge evac,
and, I mean, how we're only ever one hairline fracture
from collapse, and...
You don't need to hear this. - Yes, I do, Claire.
Because I can't imagine this was easy for you.
- I'll admit for a minute,
taking them and numbing myself
felt like the only way to deal with it.
That doesn't mean though the next time I won't stumble.
- But it does mean that this time, you didn't.
So what if small wins are all we get.
- Neeta.
I wanted to thank you for fighting for this place.
And for not giving up on me.
- What if it wasn't too late?
- I'm too tired to keep doing this with you.
- What if Devi could get the hospital lawyers
to get you out of your contract in Cleveland?
And eat whatever penalty you might be on the hook for?
- Why would she do that? - Because I asked her to.
- She rightfully loathes you, Mark.
- Ergo we made a trade.
I agreed to relinquish co-chief.
- So you give up your power for me.
- She'd rather I be your problems than hers.
And let's face it, I'm not interested
in the soul-crushing mundanity of her job.
- What is it that you are proposing?
- That we go back to running Traum OR together.
- Mark... - You'd have to take a pay cut.
There's no way we can mash the money you'd be making
in the US, but if you wanted to, to try for a kid again.
Or whatever else it is that you might end up wanting,
you'd have stability at work.
And I'd have a partner who makes me... better.
Anyway, think about it. While you're thinking about it,
would you please tell Ruth that she won the uterus lottery?
I don't think she's gonna want to hear it from me.
- You didn't have to leave work to come to this, you know?
- No, it's okay. I had help there.
- Um, that's Mrs. Butterfield.
I don't think she likes me, so let's not talk to her.
- Amira, I'm sure that's not true.
She only had the nicest things to say about you
on your report card. - Whatever.
They have to say that. - No, they actually don't.
- Fine, but this isn't parent-teacher interviews.
Let's not talk about Amira in front of her
because that makes her uncomfortable.
- Okay.
- This is social studies.
- You want to show me some of your work?
- There's just this one thing, but it's embarrassing.
- Only if you want to, huh?
- Just, here.
- What is it? - It's a mind map.
You define yourselves with the words that are important to you.
Mine is kind of messy.
You don't have to stare at it for hours.
- It's just...
You know, you fought so hard
to come here for the theatre program.
But looking at this, math and science are just as important to you.
- I like them, too. I don't know, Bashir.
Maybe I'd make a better doctor than singer.
It does run in the family.
My teachers think if my grades stay high enough,
I could get into McGill, or Queens, or UofT.
- Look, you don't have to follow anyone's path.
Amira, you can be whatever you want.
- It's true, you know?
- I know. And maybe I'll change my mind again.
But I like knowing that I was going one way,
and now I can go another.
- I'm trying not to embarrass you by crying.
Hey, um...
I think I have to go back to work.
- You said you were done.
- And you said we could change our minds.
- We'll be okay.
- I know we will.
- Haven't I done the last 10 of those in a row?
- Well, we want to make sure that you don't lose
your sense of humility, future Dr. Wong.
I was gonna tell you I got in,
I was just worried that you'd think I was abandoning you.
- An old friend who teaches at the medical school, he let it slip.
- I'm proud of you, kid.
- Anyone know if ortho has seen
my knee dislocation patient, yet?
- Are you even supposed to be working?
- I just wanna make sure he knows I didn't bail on him.
- Challenging circumstances today.
But you people killed yourselves.
- Some of us killed each other.
Rhoda, don't think I'll forget you wrenching at me like that.
- The pleasure was all mine.
- And some of us lost some very expensive hospital equipment.
Dr. Hamed, you want to rip off the bandage as it would?
- Um, an unregistered patient
with untreated COPD needed O2 treatment so...
- So Bashir and I lent him a portable BIPAP machine
which he may have purloined.
- Did you get a phone number or a health card?
- No, but it's possible he comes back.
- But that's what insurance is for, right?
- We'll see, but it's not lost on me how far you're willing to go.
All of you.
And since wait times are skyrocketing again,
let's get back to work. Shall we?
Bashir, did you need something?
- Liz, um...
You were right about me resisting who I am.
So I'm taking over Max's practice.
- Good.
- When I came out of sedation,
I was just happy to see your face.
I wanna trust that feeling, Liz.
And if you still feel the same way about me,
I wanna trust it.
Well, we're about to .
Why not?
Don't you want to know how good we are at this?
Asking would be ridiculous.
- What are you afraid of?
Let me show you how it's done.
- Mags, wait.
Thank you.
Um, well...
- So were we close? - Nope.
So she's an HR, and he just lost his restaurant job.
- And he admitted that to a stranger?
- Uh-huh, yeah.
He also said he wanted to go back to school
and try something new. - And what did you tell him?
- Uh, that it's never too late to start again.
ly text us "911" for the third time today?
- Is this about the pulmonary edema patient?
- Thanks for watching her. She's responding well to meds.
But still no answer as to why?
- And sometimes, there isn't one, you know?
You just gotta live with it. It's hard, but...
- No, we work our way through the differentials slowly
and get it wrong until we get it right.
But thank you for, uh... Thank you.
- You are welcome.
But why'd you pick this room, it's the site of my trauma?
- You gonna tell us what happened to your arm, Theo?
- My reward for trying to help a patient
who very much did not want to be helped.
- Did he assault you? - Not quite.
Tried to get him into a wheelchair
and my shoulder popped out.
Ah, so is that better or worse
than the guy who punched you in the face a couple of years ago?
- Well, your turn, June, what are you still doing here?
- I am staying to partner with Novak in Trauma OR.
- Can you trust him?
- No, but I do love the work we're doing together so,
I don't know, I guess I was just running.
- You know, after I got punched in the face,
I think that's when I lost faith in who I was.
- You were the guy who took in me and my sister
when you barely knew who we were because we needed help, Theo.
- Oh, you know, I once had a patient who got punched in the face.
Left AMA. Comes back three years later
with a brain bleed, dies on the table.
Okay.
- You good?
- Yeah, I can dress myself, thanks.
- What do you think you were running from?
- Oh, um...
you know, there are people here
who I care about and who also care about me.
And I think I deserve that.
- You do.
- Yeah, I can't do this without help so...
- I turned down the job.
- What? Why?
Bash, if you're doing this because you feel guilty.
I'm starting my own clinic.
She knew, actually. She wanted me to do it.
That's what she would have said.
- What kind of clinic?
- Community medicine and public health.
It's what my parents did.
The doctor who sponsored me to Canada,
he'll bring some patients.
I'm actually seeing a place later tonight.
I'll get a business loan, a grant maybe.
I know it's a huge risk, but it's what I want.
- Get it wrong until we get it right.
- Rulebreaker makes his own rule.
Let me know how I can help. - Yeah, same.
- Go if you need to.
- Uh, I'll see you guys soon.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Okay.
