How are you doing? Susan told me that she talked to you about my becoming chief resident.

No mayo.
What do you want, Carter? Can I get a Polish dog with extra onions, extra peppers, and cheese.
A lot of cheese.

- Carter, you shouldn't have.
- It's Wondoa, the god of fertility.
- Just what you need, Doug.
- Come on, Mark.
I'll walk with you.
- To the staff meeting? Yeah, I'm nurse manager.
I always go.
Nice hat.
- See you.
- Yeah, see you.
Carter, O.
R.
Let's go.
- You should put some ice on that.
- I'm fine.
I think I got the neck arteries down.
The common carotid, superior thyroid Thyroidectomy is called off.
We're doing a hernia.
I hope you know your way around Hesselbach's triangle.
Folks, can we get started? Please, can we start on time? Mark Greene is joining us as an Attending now that he has completed his residency.
Mark, any thought as to who should succeed you as chief resident? I was thinking Jane Pratt would be an excellent choice.
Is she that blond who always wears sweaters? No.
Brunette, tall.
She's very smart.
Well-liked.
Easy to get along with.
Very competent.
That's how I would describe you.
You might want someone who'd complement your weaknesses.
- Which are? - Discipline, paperwork, administration.
- Any other candidates? - She'd be my first choice.
Carol, any thoughts? Pratt's the best of this year's crop.
She'd take the least babysitting.
Do you know Kerry Weaver over at Mount Sinai? - Only by reputation.
- I'd like you to meet her.
Okay.
Can we get this Ross thing finally resolved today? Nobody thinks this is important, but why is my Pediatric budget carrying the cost of an ER fellowship for Doug Ross? It's an ER Pediatrics fellowship, Neal.
Then put him under my supervision.
I'll keep him in the clinic where I'm severely understaffed.
When there's a real pediatrics emergency, you can call him down.
- They need him in the ER full-time.
- Then let them pay! They're severely under-budgeted, and you know it.
- I like him, but he's a bit of a cowboy.
- A bit?! David, he's arrogant and dismissive of my authority.
Now, I'm warning you right now.
When his fellowship comes up for renewal in November I'm not gonna sign off on it.
You want him, you find the money for him.
Let's jump off that bridge when we get to it.
Mark, we need to talk about who gets to cover the Attending swing shifts.
It's a nice piece of change.
Any thoughts? No.
I'II I'll get you some names later.
Next on the agenda, we've got a JCAH inspection coming up.
Come on, people.
This is what allows us to call ourselves a hospital.
Help me! Please, somebody help me! It's my brother! Please! He fell off the boat! Grab the gurney on the side.
- Come on, man.
Please.
- No spontaneous resps.
Get an ambu-bag and set up suction.
- Jerry, Trauma 1 open? - No, air conditioning guys are there.

Get these air conditioning guys out of here now! Anybody get a blood gas? Please, please - Tracy, come here where you can see.
- Oh, God.
Don't do this, man.
- Core temp's at 82.
- CBC, Chem-7, coag panel.
Don't die.
Please.
- Are those meetings always that fun? - Kind of boring this week.
Nobody took a swing at anybody.
Do they always talk about residents like that? - Wanna hear what they said about you? - That drunk with the kid he's trying to check himself out AMA.
It's none of my business, but Jane Pratt? I think Morgenstern has a point.
I didn't get a chance to thank you for the Attending shifts.
I'm kind of behind on my car payments, you know? - You've worked with Kerry Weaver? - Yeah, we've crossed paths.
Morgenstern wants me to consider her for chief.
- Really? - That bad? Did you ever see Cuckoo's Nest? - I hear you're going someplace.
- Yeah.
Where's my kid? - Noah's in the lounge watching cartoons.
- Well, get him.
We're going home.
You're suffering from severe electrolyte imbalance.
Your white blood count is high, and you probably have pneumonia.
I just need to sleep it off.
You need to be admitted for fluids and IV antibiotics.
So you can charge me 5000 bucks like last time? Let's talk about last time.
You were drowning in your own vomit.
Your son called it in.
Just like today.
- Where's my damn shirt? - We had to cut it off you.
I paid 30 bucks for that shirt! Who's gonna pay me? You?! Somebody I swear to God, somebody's gonna pay for that if I don't find that shirt.
Where the hell? You're not going anyplace.
I don't know why, but for some reason that boy cares about you.
Stay and get straightened out.
Give Noah something to be proud of.
- He's not warming up fast enough.

Poupon.

Poupart's ligament and the rectus sheath.

- Good night.
- My rule-out MI is still not in CCU.
- I can't miss the train.
What's the point of having a CCU if you can never get anyone into it? If I don't make it to Union Station in 25 minutes I'm gonna be walking to Milwaukee.
- Mark, you need to do something.
- I will.
I promise, first thing Monday.
Hey, I heard you hired Kerry Weaver as chief.
That's definitely a move in the right direction.
- You didn't hire Jane? - No, I didn't.
Were you planning on letting me read it off the board? It was my decision.
I made it.
I gotta pick Susie up from daycare.
Hey, Dr.
Greene Those medical students are still in Exam 3.
Want me to send them home? Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Yes, yes, you're the young lady who helped me earlier today, aren't you? Mrs.
Constantine, are you feeling better? Well, I'm a bit tired.
Did I tell you that I play the cello? - Once or twice.
- Sorry.
Well, I would like to play something for you as a kind of thank-you.
I don't think that's necessary.
My son brought my cello to me.
It helps me pass the time until I get better.
Really.
You don't have to do this.
I mean, maybe you shouldn't do this.
Hey, are you okay? Yeah.
No, I'm fine.
- Tough first day back, huh? - Yeah.
Some days, like today, I have to forget or I'd never come back.
- So did you have a good summer? - Yeah, it was great.
Really.
I did a pedes rotation over at Children's and spent about five weeks kicking around St.
Bart's.
Really? I always wanted to go.
Was it nice? Yeah.
Hey, Doc! Doc! Can you give us a hand? Kid on a bike got hit by a car.
Full arrest.
- I'll see you tomorrow, okay? - Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Okay, give me the bullet! Sorry.
Hold on! No, hold it.
Thanks.
Chloe? Is dinner almost ready? I am starving.
Yeah, all we gotta do is drop in the pasta and we're all set.
Hello, my beautiful girl.
Hi.
Hi, prettiest girl.
- How was school today? - Great.
They're teaching us how to use Word and the spreadsheets.
Honey, you wanna come up and say hi to Mommy? Okay, here we go.
Let me get your head there.
There we go.
Oh, no.
Whoops.
There we go, there we go.
That's good.
Yes, you're okay.
Yes.
Oh, no, no.
It's okay.
Okay.
It's okay.
I missed you.
Yeah.
Oh, God What time is it? Oh, God.
Oh, man.
Peter? - Peter, hey, wake up.
- What? We fell asleep.
It's almost midnight.
Oh, man What time does he get off work? In 10 minutes.
Hey Why don't you stay? You know I can't.
I love you.
I'll see you tomorrow.
