Grey's Anatomy s22e10 Episode Script

1
[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING ♪]
Felt it from the start ♪
[GREY] Surgeons are
the biggest hypocrites.
We tell our patients to rest
as we work 100-hour weeks.
You don't wanna be late.
You're on my service today.
I think I've been servicing
you since last night.
You want me to stop?
Oh, oh, oh ♪
It's a state of mind ♪
We tell residents to have
good bedside manner
[KWAN] Oh.
then we yell at them
for the smallest mistakes.
You follow instructions well.
[SIGHS] Well, I aim to please.
And that's why breakfast is on me.
- I'm starving.
- [KAVITA CHUCKLES]
- This feels mildly transactional.
- [CHUCKLES]
But I'm not opposed.
Aren't you a vegetarian?
Vegan, actually. Why?
Oh, you just ordered, uh, carnitas.
That was for a coworker.
At 2:00 a.m.?
You're not the only one who
eats breakfast. [CHUCKLES]
Catch your breath. Like a lifeline ♪
[GREY] We tell our kids
to chase their dreams
as we constantly
question our life choices.
- [PHONE RINGS, BUZZES]
- [GASPS]
Hi. The answer is still no.
[MONTGOMERY] I consult on your patients.
When was the last time
I referred you a patient?
- What is a substitute for vanilla?
- Are you doing a crossword?
I'm baking.
Okay, you need to go back to work.
Patient's name is Emma.
She's five months pregnant
with severe headaches.
- Yeah, I read your emails.
- So, what do you think?
Well, it could be anything.
It could be migraines, CVST.
It's hard to say without imaging.
- Uh Do you think I could use honey?
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
One second, there's someone at the door.
What? [CHUCKLES]
So, will you do her scans?
I am on sabbatical.
[CHUCKLING] Why are you here?
Because you cannot say no to this face.
[SHEPHERD CHUCKLES]
Oh.
- No.
- Come on.
Emma's waiting for us at
Grey Sloan. Go. Get dressed.
[SHEPHERD CHUCKLING] God.
[GREY] We love fixing
everyone's problems.
[SONG ENDS]
But don't ask us to solve our own.
- Big night?
- And morning.
It was a very hot shower.
Well, our house is nailing it right now.
Gross. [GROANS]
Who knew Kwan with a girlfriend would
be more annoying than Kwan without one?
- She's not my girlfriend.
- Oh, Mohanty finally dump you?
No, but we are just not exclusive.
- You're both seeing other people?
- He's not.
You told me you weren't.
He thinks Mohanty might be.
Okay, you are not allowed to
ride in the car with me anymore.
Yeah, well, I'm
exclusively seeing patients.
You on cardio today?
Cardio wants nothing to
do with me, which is fine.
I'd invite you to Hunt's
ambulance ride-along,
but it is a party of one.
Which is also what it's like for you
when Mohanty's seeing other people.
[GRIFFITH] Oh. [CHUCKLES]
Hilarious.
Hey. Did you already tell her?
Uh, no, we waited for you.
We don't get to do this
nearly enough. Come on.
[KATIE] Okay. Stop questioning
it and take the job in Paris.
[STUTTERS] We'll talk Tuesday. Bye-bye.
Oh, my gosh, my client is
great, but very stubborn.
Yeah, I think I know the type.
[STUTTERS] Katie, this
is Dr. Warren. [CHUCKLES]
He and Dr. Adams will be taking
care of you while I'm out today.
But before I go, we have some news.
So, we got your scans.
Your primary tumor reduced by 30%.
Mmm.
- [STUTTERS] The treatment is working?
- It appears that way.
Your CEA and CA 19-9 have
decreased dramatically as well.
Oh, my God. I'm sorry [CHUCKLES]
I don't know what to say.
I mean, I know that you said
that you would find a way,
but I didn't know that you
actually could. [CHUCKLES]
- Never doubt her abilities.
- [BAILEY] Mmm.
- And you're the husband, aren't you?
- I am.
- [KATIE] Oh.
- Wh-What did she say about me?
[STUTTERS] She is a
professional couples therapist.
She gives good advice.
Yeah, but-but as a
pro, you know, just
[BAILEY] Mmm.
So, I need to head out [LAUGHS]
but you are in good hands.
I am glad you're feeling better.
Thank you.
[BAILEY] Mm-hmm.
[KATIE SIGHS]
[WARREN] Seriously, what
did she say about me?
Hey.
I've got good news and bad news.
Which would you like first?
- [WILSON] Bad.
- Good.
Patient wins.
So, the bad news is no more
hospital breakfast for you.
Because I'm being discharged?
- Yes.
- [GASPS]
Your EF is normalized,
- and your dyspnea has resolved
- [LINCOLN CHUCKLES]
so you'll continue PT and
surveillance echoes, but you're ready.
Oh. I get to sleep in a
normal bed and eat normal food.
- [LINCOLN CHUCKLES]
- Thank you.
[INHALES SHARPLY] For everything. Okay.
Oh, yeah. [CHUCKLES]
Happy to help. Nurse will
be in soon, all right?
- Okay.
- Come here.
[LINCOLN IMITATES CHEERING]
'Kay.
Mmm. [SMACKS LIPS]
Are you sure you're okay
with me seeing patients today?
Yeah, you've been w-waiting to
get back into the OR for months,
and I'm gonna spend the day with
the girls in the NICU anyway.
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
I get to come home.
[LINCOLN SIGHS]
You get to come home.
Good morning. Are you okay?
You have a headache or something?
It's preventative.
I get motion sickness.
- Oh, would it help if you sat up front?
- Uh-uh.
Nope, I want to experience the
ride-along like one of my residents,
so I can accurately assess its merits.
Oh, I thought you were optimistic
about the ride-along program
when I suggested it.
I kind of thought this
was just a formality.
Yeah, well, money's tight,
and everybody has ideas
for innovative rotations.
Is there something I can
do to move the needle,
send you some studies of
other hospital programs?
No, let's just see what the day brings.
Okay.
Welcome to Grey Sloan.
Thanks for having us.
We were just meeting Dr. Kwan.
I don't have any first
responder experience,
so this will be great.
Well, meet Jackie and Greg.
They will be showing us how to
triage and stabilize in the field
and how they transfer
patients to the hospital.
[GREG] For everyone's safety,
please wait for our instructions
and then follow them closely.
- After you.
- [BAILEY] Oh.
- [JACKIE] Watch your step.
- [KWAN GRUNTS]
There'll be no telling
what the day will bring.
Except waiting.
- There's always waiting.
- [CHUCKLES]
[GREG] Which brings us
to your first lesson,
arguably the most important.
Who knows how to play Speed?
[HUNT CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS] Off to a great start. [CHUCKLES]
Mrs. Tucker in bed five
has been discharged,
and I hear there's another
empty bed in the on-call room.
- How can you think about that right now?
- I think about it a lot.
You just changed a wound
vac on a 92-year-old man.
Yeah, and it reminded
me that life is short.
Okay, but we have to
keep it professional here.
We're dealing with people's lives.
It's serious.
[PATIENT 1 WHIMPERS, BREATHS HEAVILY]
- [BRYANT] Hey.
- [GRIFFITH] Hey, oh, what happened?
I slipped on baby oil.
I think I busted my hip.
Okay, let's get you to a bed.
[BRYANT] This way.
[CHUCKLES]
Yes, work is very, very serious.
You good?
Yeah, I thought I'd feel weirder
after being gone for so long,
but feels like I was just here.
Yeah, that never goes away.
Uh, Dr. Montgomery. Dr. Shepherd,
I didn't know you were back.
I'm not back.
Well, I'm on scut all day today, so
if either of you needs a resident
It's just a consult, Millin.
Emma, this is Dr. Shepherd, who
I've been wanting you to see.
Emma and I met on the road.
She's from Clark County, Idaho.
Dr. M's my birth control hookup, or was.
I finally gave in to my husband.
He's wanted a baby for years.
Well, it's very nice to meet you.
Tell me about your headaches.
[SIGHS] Uh, they've been
constant for two months.
My husband has had to take
care of all of our animals.
- Animals?
- Mm-hmm. We run an animal sanctuary.
Cows, horses, goats, alpacas.
[INHALES] I always thought
fur babies were enough,
but now that I'm pregnant
with a human baby,
- I'm pretty attached to her too
- [SHEPHERD] Mm-hmm.
and all the cute onesies
I can't stop buying. [CHUCKLES]
Any numbness, tingling, or weakness?
Squeeze my fingers.
Uh, no, but the pain's gotten worse.
Okay. Tell me when you see my fingers.
I've seen my OB and been to the ER.
Everyone says it's hormones.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS ♪]
I see them now. Is that good?
Millin, I need a stat MRI head
without contrast and a wheelchair.
What's happening?
- You've lost your peripheral vision.
- W-What does that mean?
It means we need imaging
to see what's going on.
[MILLIN] Okay.
- Speed.
- [GRUNTS] Yeah, you're kidding!
[JACKIE CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS] So, Jackie, on an average day,
how many calls for EM
services do you get?
There isn't a typical day.
Some days you're on the go, and others
you're clobbering your partner at cards.
- Oh, I'm winning this round.
- [JACKIE CHUCKLES]
But you do agree that ride-alongs help
educate hospital staff on
first responders' roles,
and the more they know, the
better the communication,
and that improves patient care.
Sure, if they're paying attention.
Go.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [BAILEY CLEARS THROAT]
I'm married to a former first responder.
I know there's a lot
of hurry up and wait.
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah.
- [ON RADIO] Dispatch to Ambulance 22.
Injuries after a fall
on the football field
at Seattle West Community
College, 425 Castle Rock Road.
- Right. Here we go.
- Finally.
- [SIREN WAILING]
- [HUNT CHUCKLES]
What do we got?
Uh. This is Jeff, 28, pain in
his right hip, can't bear weight.
Looks like a posterior hip
dislocation due to the place of
Man versus baby oil.
I fell off a pole. [GRUNTS]
Jeff is a male erotic
movement professional.
- Oh, no, s-stripper's fine.
- Okay. Mind if I take a look?
[LINCOLN] All right.
- [GRUNTS]
- So where do you strip?
Hot Temptations.
I started last month working
the early bird special.
Money's not great,
but it's good practice.
Hopefully soon [GROANS]
I'll get to be dancing
nights and weekends.
That's where you make it rain.
Well, we'll get you back
on that stage in no time.
Dr. Griffith and Dr. Bryant
will make you comfortable,
and we'll get that hip back in place.
Oh. Should I page Dr. Young?
No need. Altman cleared
me for surgery yesterday.
Oh, that's an impressive
dislocation for your first one back.
I can't believe he got that pole
dancing. This will mean nothing to you,
but that hip looks like Bo
Jackson in the '91 playoffs.
From the Bengals game?
Yeah, he was never the same after that.
- Could've been a league legend.
- Yeah, well, he is in my house.
My dad, ultimate Raiders fan.
Get Jeff sedated for the reduction.
And we'll page you when he's ready.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Why did you do that?
We were having a moment.
In the words of John Wooden,
"Nothing will work unless you do."
[SIGHS]
What's Little Natalia's?
Oh, it's the restaurant for Seattle's
top-ranked New York cheesecake.
I made a reservation for next month.
Am I being too hopeful?
Should I not celebrate?
I think you got scammed by advertising.
I know the restaurant
with the best cheesecake.
Oh, when's the last time
you went to a restaurant?
Yeah, right, you don't get to vote.
Well, I'm just saying if you're
gonna celebrate, you should go bigger.
Get the best New York
cheesecake in New York.
- Yeah? Well, let me go pack.
- All right.
The original Junior's in Brooklyn.
You know, for a doctor, you
have pretty bad judgment.
[CHUCKLES] I can't go to New York.
Why not?
Because I have my treatment.
Oh, it's just one weekend.
You'll be back in this room in no time.
Look, uh, what would you tell your
clients if they were
sitting in that chair?
[CHUCKLES] I can't believe I'm
actually considering this. Um
But shouldn't we ask Dr. Bailey first?
Ask after you book the
flight, then she can't say no.
Okay. Okay. [CHUCKLES]
[TYPING]
[SIREN WAILING]
- We got a call about a football injury.
- Cheerleading actually.
We usually practice in
the gym with padded mats,
but we gotta get out
in the field sometime.
That makes sense.
Okay. What happened?
We were practicing
back-flip rewinds and
And butterfingers dropped me.
You kicked your leg on the
toss, fricking knocked me out.
You were out for two seconds.
You've been a suck-ass
spotter all season.
- Should I do a primary survey on her?
- I'm a fly on the wall.
Wait for Jackie's instructions.
She's not doing anything.
Kwan, get over here and help me triage.
When you arrive, you first
assess for scene safety.
[JACKIE] All right, let me have a look.
- What's your name?
- Rosie.
[GRIFFITH] The drugs
should take effect soon.
So how did you get into stripping?
It was my college major.
[CHUCKLES]
- I'm kidding.
- [GRIFFITH CHUCKLES]
[JEFF] I was bagging groceries,
and I started stripping on the
side to pay for my student loans.
Turns out it was everything
I ever wanted in a job.
Flexible hours, I was on my feet, and
I get to make a lot of people happy.
Aside from the flexible hours,
it doesn't sound all that
different from surgery.
How do you do surgery?
- How we doing over here?
- Good.
Hey, when do the drugs start to kick in?
- He's ready.
- [LINCOLN CHUCKLES]
Okay, Jeff, I'm gonna pull
your hip back into its socket.
You shouldn't feel any
pain, just some pressure.
- Bryant, will you secure his hips?
- [BRYANT] Yep.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Hey, you've got a deep squat.
You could be a stripper.
Thank you, I will consider it.
All right.
[BRYANT] There's so much baby oil.
[GRUNTS] I can't get a grip.
He's like an eel.
- Griffith, some towels, please.
- Okay.
Okay.
- [BRYANT] All right.
- You ready, Jeff?
- One, two, three.
- Yep.
[LINCOLN, STRIPPER GROAN]
You said there'd be no pain. [GROANING]
Yeah, I'm sorry. I think it's
pinching your sciatic nerve.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
Let's, uh Let's get a CT so
we can find out what's wrong.
- I'll go grab it.
- [GRIFFITH] Thank you.
[GRUNTING]
[EMMA] It's like a coffin in here.
Wait, where are the headphones?
S-She doesn't have headphones?
- The music will distract her.
- Well, the scan's almost over.
- I'll go and get her some headphones.
- [MONTGOMERY SIGHS]
You're doing great, Emma.
You know, close your eyes. It helps.
Did not expect either of you in here.
- This Montgomery's doing?
- I may have called in a favor.
Just for today.
Okay, well, nice work. I hope it sticks.
It's good to see you both.
[MILLIN] Um
The scans scans are already up.
[MILLIN] Is that a pituitary adenoma?
She must've had this tumor for a while
and then she got pregnant and
the hormones made the tumor grow.
Dr. Montgomery. I opened my eyes.
Uh, that's okay. We're gonna
get you out of the coffin soon.
[EMMA] That's not the problem.
I can't see anything.
My vision [WHIMPERS]
I think it's all gone.
Okay, the tumor just ruptured.
Let's get her out of there.
- I will page Roberts.
- Roberts?
You're gonna make me spend four
hours in an OR with that old blowhard?
Well, I agreed to
consult, not to operate.
Well, that was before I
knew Emma needed surgery.
- I am on sabbatical.
- Jake
Jake's leaving me.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I don't want you to ask
any questions about it.
All I want is for Emma to
get the best care possible,
and that's you.
I will get my privileges reinstated.
Oh. Can you see what's
blocking the reduction?
That bone fragment.
Posterior wall acetabular fracture.
Any nerve or vascular damage?
Not yet, but the longer we wait,
the higher his risk. Book an OR.
- [GRIFFITH] Okay.
- I checked the OR board on my way here.
There's a wait list, but I'm
tight with the front desk,
so we'll get him in today.
- Do what you gotta do.
- All right.
What?
Just surprised you could see the board
with your head so far up Lincoln's
Like you never tried to get in good
with attendings while
you were an intern?
I didn't have to.
My skills spoke for themselves.
What kind of skills
are we talking about?
Is your brain just alternating
between sex and surgery all day?
I think it's a healthy balance.
- Go sweet-talk the front desk.
- Okay.
I don't have five to ten business days.
I need the glider today.
- [LINE DISCONNECTS]
- [GASPS] He just hung up on me.
What's going on?
[SIGHS] Okay, Dr. Kasliwal just told
me that the girls are doing really well.
They haven't needed the bili
lights or supplemental oxygen.
Peyton's ASD is closing.
And that's a problem because?
[SIGHS] They're being discharged today.
Our whole family's officially
out of the hospital.
Yes, but we haven't finished the nursery.
I haven't hired a night nurse, and
I'm-I'm scheduled to be
done painting this weekend.
I thought we liked Samantha.
Well, she kept referencing
true crime documentaries.
We like true crime documentaries.
Didn't seem like she was
sympathizing with the victims.
- I see your point. Um
- [PHONE BEEPS]
I have to get to surgery,
but hey, it is gonna be okay.
I promise.
[KISSES]
Is it?
[SHEPHERD] Millin, before you scrub,
would you go in and help
them set up the scope?
- [MILLIN] Absolutely.
- [SHEPHERD] Mm-hmm.
[SHEPHERD] What happened with Jake?
[MONTGOMERY] Emma's in
her second trimester,
so her physiology is
different than most patients.
[SHEPHERD] Yeah, I'm not a resident.
What about Henry? Is he okay?
[MONTGOMERY] And anesthesia
can be challenging.
We need to make sure both
the mother and baby are safe.
[SHEPHERD] All right, you
used your personal life
to manipulate me into doing a surgery.
You gonna tell me what
the hell is going on?
[MONTGOMERY] Jake's done
supporting my work on the PR
and wants me to come home. Happy?
- [SHEPHERD] Addison.
- [MONTGOMERY] Emma's waiting.
Kwan, say your findings out loud
like you would in a trauma room.
Okay, neck is nontender.
Ow. My rib's gotta be broken.
Should I be headed to a hospital?
Let us finish triaging, okay?
I feel okay. Help Rosie.
We took her vitals. She's stable.
We need to finish your neuro exam.
Pupils are equal and reactive.
[ROSIE GRUNTS] My side, I can't breathe.
If she's talking, she's breathing.
If she dies, she will
haunt me from the grave.
[ROSIE] I heard that.
Rosie, another team's here.
They'll take you to the hospital.
- Kwan, grab that backboard.
- Okay.
- Whoa.
- He's seizing.
Okay, let's get him on his side.
Okay. [EXHALES]
- [GRUNTS]
- [BAILEY] Okay, okay.
[JACKIE] You're okay. You're all right.
Hey, so if one of Bailey's
patients wanted to take a trip
during her immunotherapy regimen
I may have convinced Katie
to book a flight to New York.
How much crap will I be in?
Come look at this email.
[SIGHS]
"We write to inform you that
we have made the decision
to discontinue the IM90 protocol."
Wait, wait, wait, this is Katie's trial.
She's literally getting
an infusion right now.
It might be the last one.
Okay, well, what are we gonna do?
[SIGHS] Nothing until
we talk to Dr. Bailey.
[JACKIE] Give him five mgs of midazolam.
Does anyone know if he
has a history of seizures?
I've never heard anything, and
I've known him since kindergarten.
- Is he okay?
- Uh, we're figuring it out.
Okay, yes, bring the board.
Kwan, you call it.
Yeah, okay. Here
we go. One, two, three.
Left pupil's blown.
Looks like a brain bleed. Kwan?
In the hospital, I would
page a neurosurgeon.
- In the field?
- We could drill a burr hole
to relieve the pressure.
I saw an IO gun in the ambulance.
We're not drilling into his brain
if we can get him to a hospital.
We'll send him with them and follow
up when we get back to Grey Sloan.
- Not to make this about me, but
- We'll take you ourselves.
One, two, three.
[PARAMEDIC 1] Okay. Keep it steady.
H-Hey, you paged?
Yeah, Midtown or West Village?
Oh, uh, you're already
looking at hotels.
I got my flight. [CHUCKLES]
Wait, did Dr. Bailey find out?
No. Uh. No, no, I just
[CHUCKLES]
Wow, you, uh you move quickly.
[CHUCKLES] I haven't let myself
look forward to anything in so long.
I forgot how good it feels.
I even emailed my boss to discuss
seeing clients in person again.
Hey, look, y-you should
probably not rush
Relax. I'm not gonna
start tomorrow. [CHUCKLES]
Don't be sad.
I'll come and visit
when I'm feeling better.
[PHONE BEEPS]
- [STUTTERS] They need me for a consult.
- Wait.
- Midtown or West Village?
- Uh The Village.
[SHEPHERD] Approaching the skull base.
[MONTGOMERY] I bet Emma's husband's
feeling real guilty right about now.
- [MILLIN] What'd he do?
- [MONTGOMERY] She didn't want a baby.
This was all him.
[MILLIN] My dad didn't want kids.
That didn't work out so great for him.
[MONTGOMERY] Yeah, well,
Emma's on an operating table
with a camera and a curette up her nose,
so I don't think it worked
out very great for her either.
[SHEPHERD] Um
Your mom changed your dad's mind?
[MILLIN] Oh, no, she secretly
stopped taking her birth control
and then hid the pregnancy until
she was too far along to terminate.
And my dad got over it after
he smoked a couple of joints.
Then they went on to have my
brother, and they do regret that one.
[SHEPHERD] Hmm.
Emma said she's happy
about the baby now.
[MONTGOMERY] What else is she gonna say?
She's five months pregnant.
[SHEPHERD] Seemed genuine.
All right, I'm removing the bone.
I'm in the sella now.
Keep the camera close.
[MONTGOMERY] Successful marriages
thrive on compromises, not demands.
[BEEPING]
- [MILLIN] She's hypotensive.
- [SHEPHERD] Push fluids.
[LINCOLN] More traction, please.
- [GRIFFITH] On it.
- [BRYANT] Got it.
[LINCOLN GRUNTS] You know, I never
really thought of stripping as a sport,
but I guess it ticks all the boxes.
[GRIFFITH] It's definitely
athletic and, apparently, dangerous?
[LINCOLN GRUNTS]
Either of you play any sports?
[BRYANT] Oh, yeah, basketball, football,
baseball, a little bit of tennis.
[GRIFFITH] I was a
competitive figure skater.
[BRYANT] Seriously?
Like, with the jumps and stuff?
Were you any good?
[GRIFFITH] My last competition,
I won silver in the free skate.
[LINCOLN] Yeah, skating is intense.
[GRUNTS] Some of the worst
injuries I've ever seen.
[GRUNTS] It's not gonna budge.
Let's, uh Let's stop, and we'll put
in a distractor and we'll try again.
[SIREN WAILING]
O2's a little low.
Take a couple of deep breaths.
[ROSIE BREATHES DEEPLY]
I hope Tim's okay.
I know he's a decent spotter.
- I was just scared of Cammy.
- Is that some kind of a stunt?
Cammy Lim. She's been on
the squad for two months.
She's my backup and throws roundoff
double backs like they're nothing.
Well, there's got to be more to being
on the squad than that roundoff thing.
Roundoff double back. Do
you know how hard that is?
Now I'm out, and they're gonna
realize she's ten times better.
Oh, I-I get it. Yeah.
You're worried that
they'll want her instead.
But you're there for a reason,
and when you come out of this,
you'll remind everyone
why that spot is yours.
- You're right. I'm a flyer.
- [KWAN] Hmm.
Yeah, I'm in the ambulance. What's up?
Canceled? Wha Did it say why?
- [ROSIE BREATHES HEAVILY]
- [MONITOR BEEPING]
- I I can't breathe.
- Okay, she's desatting.
Uh. I gotta call you back.
Okay, yeah. Decreased
breath sounds on the left.
She needs a needle decompression.
- Yeah.
- Wait, here? In a moving rig?
We do it all the time.
- Me?
- It's your ride-along.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
- [KWAN] Whoa!
- [GREG] Sorry about that.
No more turns for a while.
Let's make this quick.
- Okay, her sats aren't improving.
- Let me try.
[HUNT] Okay.
The needle decompression is not working.
She's still retaining air in there.
- [HUNT] Yeah.
- Should I put in a chest tube?
Do that at the hospital.
W-We're at least ten minutes out.
This is field medicine.
The priority is to buy her
time and get her to Grey Sloan.
- No.
- What do you mean, "no"?
No. The longer we wait,
the more oxygen she loses,
the greater the chance of her
developing a-a tension pneumo
and rapidly decompensating.
No, I-I don't wanna take that chance
with this young woman, not today.
- Uh, give me a scalpel.
- Bailey, what are you doing?
I will do a finger thoracostomy.
Awesome.
That is not a priority.
This is a rig, not a trauma room.

I understand that she's your

- Then do something!
[MILLIN] Could it be from the bleeding?
[SHEPHERD] She has not lost enough blood
to cause this big of a
hemodynamic change.
But the hematoma was pressing
against her pituitary.
It's disrupting the ACTH pathway.

Kicked you out? Wh-Why?
I may have raised my voice in a
surgery that I pressured her to do.
I mean, it's not as bad as it sounds.
Did you apologize?
[SCOFFS] No, there's
nothing to apologize for.
[SMACKS LIPS] Look, in AA, we say
the first step is often the hardest.
It's when we admit how powerless we are.
The same applies to relationships.
The first step is
letting go of your pride
and then reaching
out to the other person.
And then the rest will fall into place.
