Chicago Med (2015) s11e04 Episode Script

I'm sick.
I may not die today,
but it's coming,
and there's nothing
I can do to stop it.
So how'd it feel staring
down the barrel of a gun?
I wish I could say
I'd gotten used to it.
And Lenox, on the other hand,
she didn't care
if she got shot or not.
You haven't really seemed
like yourself recently.
Is everything cool?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
It's not every day
you find out your colleague
was a teen heartthrob.
My parents stole
a lot of money from me.
I worked basically my entire childhood,
and I have nothing to show for it.
Oh, man, I'm I'm sorry.
[CELL PHONE BUZZING, RINGING]
[DOOR CLICKS]
- [GROANS]
- Oh, sorry, man.
I, uh I didn't realize
anyone was in here.
I just thought I left my phone
charger in here yesterday.
Oh, no, it's all good.
My shift starts in
a few minutes anyway, so.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Wait, did you
did you sleep here last night?
- What? No.
[CHUCKLES]
No, I caught all the lights
on the way in,
so I thought I'd get a few extra minutes
of shut-eye before my shift.
Man, I wish I could
fall asleep that fast.
What can I say?
We're not all born with the gift, right?
People lie.
They hide their true feelings,
and sometimes they don't even know
how to express those feelings.
As psychiatrists, we are relying
on our own personal assessments,
which are riddled
with mistakes and biases.
And unlike other medical disciplines,
we base our treatments on
conversation and observation.
Nothing more.
Oh, come on. That's a
that's a bit of a reductive assessment
- of what we do, isn't it?
- But is it?
What other tools do
most psychiatrists employ?
We use any number of
of clinical tools,
but as aids to our initial assessment.
I mean, it sounds like
you're proposing that we
that we lead with this stuff?
You want me to let a machine tell me
what's going on with my patient?
No, I am proposing that
we endeavor to give patients
effective and efficient care.
In a world where there's
constant pressure to increase
patient turnover rates,
where there's so little time,
we can rely on fMRI to help doctors
instantly diagnose bipolar disorder,
depression, schizophrenia,
and we could push psychiatry
into a true science,
where we replace
the guesswork with hard facts.
The guesswork.
I'm only referring
to certain types of
Right, okay, look, first of all,
from what I've read, fMRI,
diagnostically speaking, anyway,
according to the statistics,
it's just not there yet.
But even if it was,
a lot of the psych patients
coming into my ED
are experiencing their
their first episode, you know,
their initial set of symptoms.
And they're they're disoriented.
Sometimes they're terrified.
They don't even know
they're psych patients yet.
And what they need in
that moment more than anything
is human contact. Right?
Empathy? Compassion?
I am not trying to
challenge your methods.
Trust me when I tell you that
in addition to its efficiency,
there is a tremendous amount
of potential in this tech,
and I would love nothing more
than to continue
my research right here
at Gaffney with you.
How we doing, Cora?
Pretty good. [COUGHS]
She's coughing a lot.
I'll order another albuterol nebulizer.
That should help.
You doing okay?
I know the first few days
in the isolator
takes some getting used to.
I keep thinking about this
pet fish I had in kindergarten.
- Octavio.
- Yeah.
I used to stare at him
in his little fishbowl.
It seemed so cozy with his
castle and treasure chest.
It doesn't seem so cozy now.
Look, I know it's not ideal,
but this is the best way
to keep you safe.
Your immune deficiency disorder
means that your body
can't protect itself from infection.
But inside the fishbowl,
no germs can get in,
so all you have to worry about
is getting better.
Okay.
I mean, plus,
it doesn't feel cozy in there
'cause you haven't done
any decorating yet.
- Decorating?
- Yeah.
I mean, I'm thinking
some curtains in here,
maybe a few Blackpink posters, huh?
You're being sarcastic.
[CHUCKLES] Well, maybe a little.
But it doesn't mean we can't find ways
to make you feel more at home, okay?
So how about we both think on it?
Okay.
[COUGHING]
She's getting worse, isn't she?
Her blood pressure is dropping
and lactate is rising,
which are markers for sepsis.
But the only thing that's
going to make her better
in the long term
is a stem cell transplant.
Any word on the test results?
Nothing from the registry.
And your test results aren't back yet,
but I will let you know
as soon as I hear.
But if I am a match with Cora,
how soon can we do
the stem cell transplant?
Hopefully within hours.
[SIGHS]
I don't understand how
this happened so fast.
She was such a healthy girl,
and then suddenly,
these past few months
[SOMBER MUSIC]
When I decided to have her
on my own through IVF,
I was so scared.
But then she arrived,
and all the worry went away
because she was perfect.
And we were perfect.
- Just the two of us.
- [COUGHING]
Help! Someone!
- What's going on?
- They said to bring it.
I kept it cold.
Oh, my God!
What is it?
[ALARM BEEPS]
Lionel Blake, 37-year-old male,
left hand severed off
in a circular saw accident at a shop.
The heart rate's 126, BP's 95/54.
Coworker found him,
used his belt as a tourniquet
- till we got there.
- Complete amputation?
How much blood was there at the scene?
- A lot.
- And we got the hand.
All right, well, get it
in a sterile bag.
- Okay, I'm on it.
- All right, on my count.
Ready, one, two, three.
[GROANS] Oh, it hurts.
Hundred mics of fentanyl.
Uh, let's get
a cardio monitor and oxygen.
And let's get another IV
and hang a unit of
O-negative. Got it.
All right, you are going to
surgery, Mr. Blake.
Page Hand and Vascular, please.
We're gonna need help getting
this hand reattached.
- Wait.
- No, no, no.
Lie back down, sir. Lie back down.
- Please me go.
- Blake, come on now.
You don't understand.
What don't I understand, sir?
I don't want it reattached.
Excuse me?
I cut it off on purpose.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
♪
So it's a "no" on the reattachment.
Yeah, a hard no.
He won't engage much beyond that.
Some kind of woodworker?
Makes high-end furniture.
Guy that brought him in
said that they were
working together. He heard a shriek.
He ran in, found him in a pool of blood.
Any mental illness in here?
No, no, nothing in his chart.
Could this be oh, what's that called?
You know, when a person wants
to remove their healthy limbs.
What is that?
Oh, body integrity identity disorder?
I mean, it could be.
Hard to say without talking to him.
Well, you got less than
an hour before the hand
dies from lack of circulation.
Oh, man. Okay.
Just squeeze my hand if it hurts.
- It's not too bad.
- Okay.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Oh, I'm I'm fine.
Just do her first.
I'd really like to take
a look at the arm, Mr. Carter.
Yeah, when the kettle
exploded in the kitchen,
we both thought a bomb went off.
I guess the
the water was too hot or
No, it wasn't the water.
It was just a cheap-ass wedding
gift from my Uncle Benny.
Everything the dude buys
is a knockoff of a knockoff.
Of a knockoff.
These look like superficial
partial thickness burns.
Let's do a gentle irrigation
with some cool water,
and then we'll need to
apply some Silvadene.
And a suture kit for that lac.
- [GROANS]
- You okay? What's hurting?
- Hey, babe, you all right?
- Yeah. I'm sorry.
I think the the skin's
just a little bit tender.
Okay, well, let's get you gowned
and sutured and bandaged.
I want to do an X-ray to make sure
there's no glass that we missed
and some basic blood and urine tests.
Can I have a nurse help you
in the bathroom?
Oh, no, I'm okay. I can do it.
Okay.
And, uh, no more gifts from Uncle Benny.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
I was doing a little, uh,
internet snooping on your shop.
That's some beautiful
furniture you make.
No wonder demand is so high right now.
I mean, those those
Windsor chairs with the, uh
with the blond sugar maple,
the mortise and tenon joints,
that's impressive.
- Like a magic trick.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
But I tell you, one thing
that I can't really figure out
is why a guy who is
as talented as you are
would wanna get rid of one
of your most important tools.
It's better for everyone.
For everyone?
What do you mean when you say everyone?
I'm a bad person.
I'm gonna hurt someone.
Have you hurt somebody before?
No.
Well, what makes you think
you would now?
I could control it before.
Control what?
I keep picturing the same thing
over and over.
Okay, well, what is it that
you keep on picturing?
Wrapping my hand around
someone's throat, killing them.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
And I was gonna do it.
I was gonna hurt someone.
Now I can't.
Hey, crazy question.
Do we have any glitter glue?
Why, you going to a slumber
party we don't know about?
[CHUCKLES] No, I'm, uh, just getting
some supplies for Cora so she can spruce
the place up a little bit.
- Aw.
- How are you still single?
- Commitment issues.
- Oh.
Excited to unpack that
tomorrow night at your place.
I'm sorry, what?
She means poker night. It's tomorrow.
You're hosting.
Yeah, sorry, I can't do that.
Actually, I'm gonna have to rain check.
- Why?
- Something came up.
You can't bail on us.
Your bad decisions at poker night paid
- for my manicures last month.
- I just can't. okay?
Okay. Okay.
Dr. Frost, this just came up
from Pathology for Cora Cooper.
Thank you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
this is for Cora Cooper.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
That's what they said.
She's not my daughter?
How is this possible?
You mentioned to Dr. Frost that you
conceived Cora through IVF?
You think there was
a mix-up at the clinic?
Well, it's possible.
We've been in touch with them.
It looks like 10 years ago,
on the day Cora's embryo
was transferred,
there was one other woman
who received an embryo,
though hers didn't take.
Are you saying that Cora
is her biological child?
We just don't know yet.
These answers will take time.
But if this woman
is Cora's genetic parent,
then there is a 25% chance she is
a match for the stem cell transplant
needed to save Cora's life.
So do we have your permission
to contact her
to see if she'll come in to get tested?
♪
So you're saying that he's got OCD?
Most people think
that OCD is just about,
you know, repetitive hand washing,
uh, light switch behavior.
But at its heart
are these intrusive thoughts,
right, that compel people
to behave a certain way.
In Lionel's case, they revolve
around hurting people.
It's actually a very specific subset,
which is harm OCD.
Trust me, he's got all the hallmarks.
That explains why he's
not mentioned it to anybody.
Well, it's a tough thing
to admit to, right?
Yeah.
But, I mean,
the lengths that he went to,
cutting off his own hand?
I mean, the guy
didn't want hurt anybody.
- Yeah.
- Right?
We all have violent impulses, right?
But we have the ability
to filter them out.
Poor guy thinks he's a killer,
and really he's just got a leaky valve.
I mean, if only we could just
show him the valve, right?
Yeah.
No, you know, I would just
show him the busted part,
just like we do with broken bones.
You get him to understand that
that's not who he really is.
Right?
Any way you could keep this hand alive
- for a little bit longer?
- Yeah.
I'll consult Lenox.
I'd appreciate it, buddy.
Just, uh, need to run something down.
Of course.
How much time you think this will buy?
Well, in a lab setting,
a perfusion system
has kept a limb viable
for up to 24 hours.
But given that this isn't a lab setting
and we're doing most of this on the fly,
I'd say considerably less than that.
You ever reattach any limbs
while you were in Afghanistan?
I mostly cut them off.
It's hard to imagine anybody doing this
to themselves on purpose.
Maybe.
But I can understand wanting
to deny your own impulses.
I spent most of my life doing that.
And why do you think that is?
I guess I didn't really
understand the world
or how I was supposed to act
or what was acceptable or cool or kind.
And to avoid making a mistake,
I just didn't take any chances.
And I'm starting to think
that that stopped me
from experiencing life fully.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Well, if I had had better self-control,
I wouldn't be having
a baby right now, so
maybe losing control occasionally
isn't the worst thing in the world.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Sorry, Dr. Lenox, I wanted to
I was in the bathroom
collecting the urine sample
from the woman
who had the kettle accident,
- Mrs. Carter.
- Yes.
Well, she'd asked
for a second cup to use,
and I didn't think anything
of it until I went in there
and I found the original cup
in the trash.
Had this on it.
You all right?
Yeah, just this is so weird.
Uh, Ms. Patrick, this is Vivian Cooper
and Dr. Frost, who's
running point on Cora's care.
It's nice to meet you.
Thank you so much for
coming down here so quickly.
- It's a lot.
- No, of course.
I, um
sorry, what happens now?
Well, the first thing we need to do
is a blood draw,
which is right down the hall.
Okay.
And we should be able
to get back the results
within a couple hours.
Is that her?
Yes.
Can I meet her?
Oh, well, I haven't told Cora
about all this yet.
I didn't want to upset her
until we knew for sure.
Oh.
Why don't we do the blood test to start?
Right, of course.
It's just afterward, I really
I would love to meet her.
We don't even have to tell her who I am.
I don't know. Uh
I'm sorry, but that might be
my biological child in there,
and she's sick.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Please?
♪
[INDISTINCT]
It will be.
Dr. Ripley, you have a second?
Uh, not exactly.
Well, I was wondering if you've noticed
anything off with Dr. Frost.
What do you mean?
Like, he's acting kind of weird.
You know, cagey.
He totally bailed
on hosting poker night,
and he's, like,
dropping out of stuff randomly.
[WHISPERS] I think it might be meth.
- Meth?
- Yeah.
I've seen it before. Mm-hmm.
Kacy, um, Dr. Frost does not have
a methamphetamine addiction.
- But he is acting weird.
- Yeah, maybe.
But, um, I need to go
deal with something.
Let's talk later.
Hey, man.
Can I, uh can I grab you for a sec?
Yeah. What's up?
Oh, admin.
They can't seem to find
your insurance info.
Just need you to fill out a few forms.
- It's a pain, I know, but
- No, it's fine.
We're just waiting around.
Faye, can we talk?
Sure. Everything okay?
Uh, just waiting on your lab results.
But that's not why I came by.
You got married recently, right?
Almost seven months ago, but yeah.
How's it going?
Good.
What do you mean?
I guess I mean, um,
how are you guys getting along?
Sorry, why are you asking this?
We found this in the trash.
The red sticker on it.
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
What's that supposed to mean?
We have signs up
in the bathroom that say
if you're experiencing partner abuse
or domestic violence,
that you can place a sticker
on your cup to notify us.
But I didn't turn that one in.
I understand.
I'm wondering if you were
considering asking us for help.
I wanna make sure everything's okay.
And nothing you say to me
is gonna leave this room.

it was an accident.
Just exploded.

It was an argument.
We're both hot-tempered.
I just don't want to get him in trouble.
This isn't about
getting anybody in trouble.
This is about making sure you're safe.
Please don't.
We have resources we can provide.
We have a social worker who can
connect to safe housing.

- with something.
- Sure.
What do you got?

Vitals are stable.
Tell Transpo she's ready to move to IR.
Hey, her husband's in the waiting room.
I've been holding him off,
but he wants to know what's going on.
He knows exactly what's going on.
He beat the hell out of her.
He may be next of kin, but the fact
that we have to treat this prick
like he's any other
family member is absurd.
I get that,
but if we let on what we know,
we put Faye in even more danger.
Yeah, I get that.
Is Faye okay?
Your wife suffered
a laceration to her spleen,
causing her to, uh, hemorrhage
slowly into her abdomen.
We are doing something called
a splenic artery embolization
to stop the bleeding.
But she's gonna be okay?
We hope so, yes.
Okay. Thank God.
I'm sorry, I'm
I'm a little confused, though.
She was fine when I left. What happened?
Well, that's what we were hoping
that you could help us with.
Generally, it's the kind
of injury that only occurs
with blunt trauma,
but Faye didn't mention
anything like that.
Any idea what might have happened?
I mean, when the kettle
exploded, she did fall,
hit the counter.
In the chaos, we must have
forgot to mention it.
She fell. Right.
So that's all?
- Can't think of anything else?
- No.
We're asking 'cause
we just wanna make sure,
you know, we have a clear picture
and there's nothing we're missing.
Right. Of course.
Uh, yeah, nothing else that I know of.

Yeah, and your your research
is centered on this?

in a given patient to a healthy brain,

tell us what we're dealing with.
Okay, but Dr. Charles has
already diagnosed Mr. Blake.

an experimenting in, um,
repurposing the technology

your brain would not look
like this after confronted

I get that you might
feel upset right now
and that you might feel cheated,
but that little girl in there is dying,
and she is not going to spend
whatever time she has left
terrified that the only family she knows
is about to get torn apart.
You don't get it.
- I don't?
- No.
I did IVF for years.
[SOFT MUSIC]
So many times I got pregnant.
But the embryo
my body couldn't keep it alive.
But then this happens?
That this little girl is mine?
I've already missed so much.
So I can't just walk away.
Look, infertility is cruel.
We never get to know why
one person gets lucky
while the other one doesn't.
I can imagine that,
in a situation like this,
it is easy to feel like you've
been robbed of something.
And maybe you have. But
What?
I don't know, maybe this is the only way
this could have happened.
You having a kid.
Maybe Cora wouldn't even be here
if it weren't for the both of you.
Okay, but either way,
Cora is in a crisis right now.
And I know that the only way
to get through a crisis
is to find a way to work together.

Nothing's wrong, baby.
It's good news.
You and Ms. Patrick,
you're a stem cell match.
- Really?

You're gonna be feeling
a lot better very soon.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
You're gonna be okay, sweetie.
You're gonna be okay.
So that woman, she's

Well, Ms. Patrick

[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Yeah?
Hey.
I'm headed out.
I wanted to check on Lionel.
How's he doing?
Uh, you know,
Dean's just finishing up now.
Come in. Have a seat.
He was able to keep the hand viable,
so it looked like the reattachment's
gonna be a success, you know,
so thank you.
I'm glad to hear it.
It's cool what you did back there.
I haven't used fMRI like that.
Hey, look, I am not
anti-innovation, okay?
Far from it, trust me.
But it just seems like every day
we get hit with another
technological advancement
that further obliterates
our need to connect as humans.
You know, we might have
gotten off on the wrong foot,
but I enjoyed working with you today.
Right back at you. Really.
Theo, um, I've been thinking.
You cannot deny the potential
of this technology, right?
I mean, look what happened today.
And
look, if you were willing to put people
before technology, maybe there is
a place for you and your research
- here at Gaffney.
- Hmm.
What do you think?
Yeah.
It's this way.
They'll just need you
to change into a gown,
and then we'll get you to pre-op.
And how long does the procedure take?
- Usually one or two hours.
- Okay.
Billie, I just wanted to
say thank you in-person.
It means it's everything.
Of course.
Um, I tried to get a zebra
from the gift shop for Cora.
All they had was a bear.
It's probably stupid.
I don't even know if 10-year-olds
like stuffed animals.
I guess I don't really know
that much about kids.
She'll love it.
[SOFT MUSIC]
I'm sorry about earlier.
It wasn't my best moment.
No, it wasn't.
You know, Cora asked about you.
She has questions I can't answer.
Maybe we can have another conversation
with the three of us later?
Under better circumstances.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Bubble's looking pretty good.
It's too bad we're gonna have

I made you something.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
That's me.
That's you.
And you put me in the fishbowl?
You said that we were in it together.
Thought maybe you could
hang it up in your house.

Do you like it?
Yeah.
I love it.
So Faye got moved to the ICU?
Mm-hmm.
Look, you did everything you could.
Right.
Oh.
What?
I left my iPad in post-op.
You want me to hold the elevator?
I'll get the next one.

Kacy thinks you're on meth.
- What?
- Nurse Kacy.
She thinks you're acting weird
'cause you're on meth.
Oh. I'm I'm not on meth.
I know.
But you are acting weird.
I'm not trying to.
I'm just I'm tired, I guess.
Okay.
I got kicked out of my sublet.
What's that?
My apartment.
I sublet it, and two days ago,
the guy that I sublet it from
decided to move back, kicked me out.
So you were right.
I did sleep here last night because
I don't have a place to live.
[CHUCKLES]
That sucks, but can't you
just get another apartment?
No, it's not that simple.
If you need cash,
I'm more than happy to
It's not a money thing.
Really, it's a credit thing.
I had to file bankruptcy to get out
from under all the debts
my parents racked up,
so that's why I always sublet.
It's just hard to find one
on short notice, so
Well, why don't you just
come stay with me, then?
Just until you find a place of your own.
I appreciate it, all right?
I am fine though.
I'm at Sadie's half the time anyway.
Okay, then.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
All right.
Just no meth in the apartment.
I'll just keep doing it in the hospital.
- Right.
- It'll be all right. Yeah.

I was looking for you actually.
I just wanted to say thank you

I really appreciate it.
I know how much attention
you paid to her.
