Out for Blood

1 MEREDITH: Metastatic.
Advanced.
Progressed.
All words no one wants to hear from their doctor.
I can't see anything.
There's too many adhesions.
Retractor.
Retractor! That seems a little basic, don't we think? I swear, this place has gone down the pipes.
It means despite everything you've done, every rule you've followed, you may be near the end.
I still don't have visualization.
Maybe if I can mobilize the liver ELLIS: Maybe? That's what everyone wants in a surgeon.
They maybe know what they're doing.
Always have a plan I told you that.
- [MONITOR ALARM.]
- Suction, Meredith! It's the moment when fear sets in.
You panic as you realize you may not survive.
You're losing control.
I know what I'm doing.
If you did, you would have done it already.
- Give me that.
- [THUNDER CRASHES.]
It's why people turn to experimental treatments and last-ditch efforts.
Things haven't changed here.
I have to do everything myself.
Clamp.
If you knew you were dying [GASPS.]
what would you do? If someone gave you a lifeline, would you take it? [THUNDER CRASHING.]
If it weren't for the accreditation council, I'd say that we should call in sick.
- Stay in bed all day.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Mmm.
What are you thinking? I should go to Boston.
I've called Nana Ante and my cousins, the few people I know Wendell still talks to.
They all think that he's back in Boston.
Winston I'm gonna get your money back.
Maybe you don't.
Maybe you just let Wendell have it and let him get out of whatever trouble he's in and and and we just go back to our lives.
My brother stole from you.
[SIGHS.]
My wife.
It's wrong, and he knows it, and I-I want to fix it.
- I need to fix it.
- No, no.
It's fine.
Just let it go.
I don't want you involved in whatever he is mixed up in.
It's not fine, Maggie.
It's not fine.
[THUNDER RUMBLES.]
Please don't tell me how to handle my brother.
Alright? You have sisters, but they're not What? They're not actually my sisters? You didn't grow up with them.
So that makes them less my sisters? No, I [SIGHS.]
That's not what I meant.
♪ Bailey's gonna lose it if we're late today.
♪ ZOLA: Ooh, that one has a sauna.
When have you been in a sauna? I read that it's good for circulation.
It is.
So's biking.
When have you ridden a bike? - [DOOR CLOSES.]
- [LAUGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
Gotta say, I am not gonna miss this rain.
You've only been here 30 days.
Yeah, and it's rained for like 26 of them.
[LAUGHS.]
True.
If the accreditation council okays the residency program today, does that mean we're leaving? Soon.
AMELIA: It's out.
It's out.
It's here.
Look.
Oh, it's out.
NICK: The Parkinson's treatment article? - Wow.
Nice.
- [ZOLA CLAPS.]
♪ Wow.
[THUNDER RUMBLING.]
[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
You know, you don't have to walk us all the way to the door.
We can handle the rain.
Well, I'm a full-service guy.
As you know.
Last night was amazing.
It was.
So I'll see you tonight? Um, maybe.
It depends on work.
Alright.
- [LUNA CRYING.]
- [JO SIGHS.]
Aww, is she tired? Yeah, she, uh, didn't sleep well last night.
- Teething? - Todd.
Oh.
He's staying over now? First time.
Probably the last.
Things not going so well? Is he not so nice? Should I be worried? No.
He's nice, he's just We, uh We had sex for the first time and he told me he loved me.
Hmm.
Did you say it back? Love is a big word for me.
Right.
He also sings.
- Loudly.
- I sing.
Um, he sings when he's finished.
He woke up Luna.
O-Oh, oh! - Wow.
[CHUCKLES.]

Is it show tunes? Jazz? '90s Seattle grunge? No.
It's more like one long note.
So like Do, re, mi, fa, Jo ♪ [LAUGHS.]
Are you gonna break up with him at lunch - or after work? - [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
Just forget I even told you.
Goodby-y-y-ye ♪ KRISTEN: [LAUGHS.]
So you dropped your glasses in one patient and left a guide wire in the other one? Well, I have also had plenty of really great days, too, I swear.
- [LAUGHTER.]
- Yeah, they're just not as funny in the retelling.
[LAUGHTER.]
So, how are you feeling, Simon? Outstanding.
I might jump in that triathlon out in Bellingham this Saturday.
Unless my son shows up, but he's taking his sweet time.
Mm-hmm.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, listen up.
Check your e-mails.
Many elective surgeries were postponed due to the acute blood shortage.
We're setting up a donation center.
In the meantime, Jamarah Blake returns today.
And, God willing, today's the day we'll get our program back.
- [SIGHS.]
Yes.
- Oh, thank God.
I'll donate.
Sign me up.
Oh, come on, I'm dying.
Someone laugh at my jokes.
[LAUGHS.]
- [CHUCKLES.]

[RESIDENTS CHUCKLE.]
[RADIO CHATTER.]
Can we mop up this area by the doors? Two kids have slipped already.
Hey, did the blood bank send out any more O-neg? They said there's no more left to send.
Oh.
[SIGHS.]
We're gonna have to consider closing to trauma unless something changes.
Can you bring the construction worker from trauma two upstairs, please? - Yep.
- WOMAN: Here you go, Doctor.
Thanks.
- JOHN: Dr.
Hunt? - Yeah? Dr.
Owen Hunt? Yes, can I help you? My wife.
She's a Marine, and she's really sick.
Heather Young said you could help us.
♪ Rosie did three tours in Iraq, and when she returned from the last one, she had this awful cough.
She did a couple rounds of steroids, but nothing really helped.
At first they diagnosed her with chronic bronchitis, but eventually - Pulmonary fibrosis.
- Yeah.
Well, Pirfenidone has been shown to slow down lung function decline.
Rosie couldn't tolerate the side effects.
Has she tried pulmonary rehab? We've tried everything.
I can tell you a little about the study that we're doing, but if Rosie would like to enroll, I'm gonna have to examine her in person.
I'm not here about the study.
♪ We live in Utah.
They don't have physician-assisted death, and my wife is in terrible pain.
She can't eat, she can't sleep.
She's dying.
She needs those medications you gave the other vets.
John, I don't know what Heather told you She doesn't want to feel like she's committing suicide.
She wants death with dignity.
She needs your help.
Please.
John I'm sorry, but I can't.
♪ If you don't give me the drugs for my wife, I'll report what you've done.
♪ BAILEY: Thank you for coming, everyone.
I'll get right to it.
So, you are all aware that blood has been in short supply since the pandemic.
With the weather being what it is and a few heavy traumas this past week, our supply has fallen to critical levels.
So I've asked the coordinators to reschedule all elective surgeries, and we've also called state blood banks and are working on getting an emergency delivery.
In the meantime, I want to see butts in seats, needles in arms.
Tell your friends.
Okay.
People's blood isn't gonna donate itself.
Ex Excuse me.
I'm the chief.
I'm first.
WOMAN: [OVER P.

Dr.
Bradford to labor and delivery.
Dr.
Bradford to labor and delivery.
I thought blood drives just give you one cookie, two tops.
- What's this? - Because I'm chief of general.
- It comes with perks.
- Ah.
Congrats on the article, Dr.
Grey.
Thank you, Karen.
Hey, take a look at this.
48-year-old female, CT shows a 12-centimeter pancreatic head tumor that involves the liver, the duodenum, and causing thrombosis of the portal vein.
- Wow.
- Yeah, the tumor's literally at the juncture of all her internal organs.
If it gets any larger, she'll be at risk for catastrophic bleeding, so it's bad.
Or obstruction.
Yeah, um, but you don't think a Whipple would work in this case, do you? Are you asking my opinion? Well, no.
I know you're famous and everything now, but I thought I might still have an in.
Well, you could try a traditional Whipple, but I don't even think you'd get clear margins.
Mm.
Can I meet her? Take a look? See? You fell right into my trap.
Lucky for you, it's my favorite trap.
♪ [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Try not to pass out this time.
Ha, ha, very funny.
- Crap.
- What is it? I can't donate.
What? Why? Men who are sexually active with other men in the last three months are prohibited.
And I wasn't active, uh, the last time I donated.
I wasn't even out.
- But what about gay women? - They don't care.
That is the most asinine thing I have ever heard.
Shh! Please, it's fine.
You and your blood are being excluded for being gay.
You should say something.
Can I just keep my job, please? Plus, it's almost been three months since Nico and I broke up, so I'll just I'll do it then.
[SIGHS.]
Go.
WOMAN: Know anything yet? MAN: The doctor's in with her now, so hopefully we'll have some information soon.
Who's this guy? Glen Sandstone.
High-powered attorney.
NICK: And he's married to the blonde one here? No, no.
Audrey, the Spanish woman that has the twin sister.
Ah, a twist.
Didn't see that coming.
CORA: She needs help remembering her own name, but she has the entire town of Gladwell's family tree committed to memory.
Cora, I agree with Dr.
Marsh.
Yeah, normally I love hearing that.
We can try a Whipple procedure, but we won't be able to get 100% of the tumor.
But, i-it will help with your pain and maybe even give you some more time with your aunt.
Hopefully.
[CHATTER ON TELEVISION CONTINUES.]
I take care of her now, but Sally raised me.
My mom wanted to be a good mother, in theory.
But she had other priorities.
So when she would disappear for days on end with a new guy, Sally would come, make sure I was eating dinner, taking a bath, tuck me in at night, and tell me my mom had just called.
I'd just missed her.
But she called to tell me she loves me.
And it wasn't till my 20s that I realized that Sally was making it up.
And thank God she did, you know? Because it's better to miss your mom than to hate her.
And now she needs me.
She needs me to feed her and bathe her tell her someone loves her.
So I need something better than hopefully and maybe.
♪ So Heather is just walking around, advertising that that you're the military's concierge death doctor? Of course not.
I tried calling her, but she didn't answer.
Until then, I don't know what to do with this guy.
What do you mean, what to do? You tell him no.
[WHISPERING.]
Well, then then he reports me, and I go to jail.
Owen, we don't even know who this guy is.
He could be lying about his wife.
I saw medical records.
He could have fabricated them! He could be a drug-seeker, appealing specifically to you 'cause he heard what you did.
Listen, he called her on video-chat.
- We spoke.
- [SIGHS.]
Rosie's real, Teddy.
She's really sick and she just wants my help.
[SIGHS.]
Listen, I I can check the VA database, confirm that she is military.
- That make you feel better? - Yes.
And if he's telling the truth? We find another way to help.
♪ KRISTEN: Help! Help! - Dr.
Lincoln, hurry! - LINK: What happened?! Please, it's Simon.
He can't - He's not breathing! - Winston! I'm scared that he's dying! [MONITOR ALARM.]
[GASPING.]
♪ Sats are plummeting, despite his high-flow.
BP's dropping, too.
We're gonna have to intubate you, Simon.
No, I'm okay, just just keep the air coming.
Don't intubate.
Don't talk, babe.
Save your energy.
If they put in the tube, I may never wake up.
Our son - [COUGHS.]
- [MONITOR BEEPS.]
LEVI: Sats are in the 80s.
His O2's maxed out.
What do you want to do? Kristen.
Intubate him.
Get the intubation tray.
WOMAN: Coming through.
We need a size 8 ET tube.
Get suction ready.
♪ Give me some cricoid pressure.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
Maybe if we close our eyes, it'll feel like we're at the spa.
Mm.
Spas smell like lavender and eucalyptus, not rubbing alcohol and plastic.
Also, people bring you things to put over your eyes.
This is not a spa.
- How are you? - Today should be one of the biggest celebratory days of my career.
Our article was published.
I might have gotten one step closer to surgically curing Parkinson's disease.
And all you can think about is Kai.
Have you heard from them? They texted, "Thinking of you.
" Which is sweet, but does nothing to soothe the intense ache that is consuming my body.
Breakups are hard.
Give it time.
Has Winston heard from his brother? No.
And, uh, he's mildly obsessing.
No not mildly.
He is obsessing.
And this morning I tried to get him to let it go, and he responded by telling me I don't know what it's like - to have siblings.
- Mm.
What? You agree with him? It's just No, it's just, it's different.
I mean, you and I are sisters in like the best and most adult ways, and I love you.
But my Shepherd sisters? When they get under my skin, I cannot get them out, and I love them, but I'm not sure that I like them.
And that is just based in, like, childhood stuff.
So you agree with him.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'm saying, don't try to help him stop obsessing.
It is only gonna make him obsess more.
Here I thought I knew my husband inside and out, and there's just a lo I mean Deep things, like this thing with his brother.
[SIGHS.]
A lot of stuff I didn't anticipate, a lot of stuff that I-I don't know.
[WHIRRING.]
Hey.
I, uh I heard about Simon.
You okay? [SIGHS.]
I'm just trying to distract myself from thinking about all the terrible things that are gonna appear on this screen in two minutes.
[SIGHS.]
You break up with Pavarotti? Really? You're thinking about Todd right now? No, I'm thinking about how I wish we had gone to karaoke the night the three of us went out drinking.
[LAUGHS.]
I hate you.
He's nice.
He's kind.
But he is also obsessed with his own PhD, and he narrates his life out loud.
Like, "And now, I'm making the coffee.
I'm putting the beans in the filter.
Now, I'm putting the water in the pot.
" [LAUGHS.]
That is Enraging.
Yeah, it is.
That plus the singing orgasm - It's a lot.
- Yeah.
But he's Oh, he's so nice.
Figaro ♪ Figaro ♪ Figaro, Figaro No! ♪ [LAUGHS.]
[COMPUTER CHIRPS.]
Oh, damn it.
♪ NICK: Okay, how about this? What if we resect her entire pancreas, extract the islet cells, and insert them into her liver so she can still make insulin? Well, we said bold swings.
That's a bold swing.
I have done an islet cell transplant before.
Of course you have.
Of course.
- Are you impressed? - I mean, impressed.
I'm turned on.
I'm impressed, I'm turned on [LAUGHS.]
I just wish there were a way to just get in there and cut around the tumor a little bit at a time, piece by piece.
But how do we do that during a critical blood shortage? Wait, she would lose a lot less blood if we didn't do the surgery inside the body.
You want to do an ex-vivo surgery? You've done one of those, too, haven't you? - [LAUGHS.]
- Right.
Well, if we were going to go that route, it would be helpful to have an extra set of hands.
So, basically, you want to do a Whipple, but outside the body on the back O.
R.
table? Exactly.
Remove everything involved the liver, the pancreatic head with the tumor, the intestines.
Remove it all en bloc, excise the tumor, and then transplant everything back into Cora's body.
And whose idea was this? Does it matter? No, it doesn't, because it's a bad idea.
I mean, it's too risky, and, frankly, today, it's irresponsible.
I mean, a surgery like this would take over 20 hours.
So we should, what, send her home to die? Jamarah Blake is on her way to decide whether or not this hospital can continue its training program, because I was too confident and tried to reinvent the wheel.
Today is not the day to go rogue.
[SIGHS.]
Maybe it isn't rogue, maybe it's cutting edge.
And maybe cutting edge is exactly what we need to do to save the program.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm not gonna do it.
♪ Okay, um well, we can keep her admitted.
I mean, we could do it in a few days.
Just because he screwed up doesn't mean Cora has to die.
I'm booking the O.
R.
Okay.
Not only did the existing lung mets grow, Simon now has more.
So can we resect them? Unfortunately, no.
Um, he already has too much tumor burden.
There won't be enough pulmonary reserve.
What about a bronchial stent? Well, it's not a problem of getting air into his lungs.
It's a problem of getting them to work at all.
His wife is 36 weeks pregnant.
We just need him to hold on long enough that she can have a safe C-section.
I told him he'd meet his kid.
Which, I know, I know, it was stupid.
[SIGHS.]
What about ECMO? ECMO's not medically indicated in this situation.
Would it work? Well, come on.
Would it buy him some time? There are protocols that we could follow in order to reduce the amount of blood products.
No, because what if he bleeds out? Just come meet Kristen.
Meet his wife.
We can go over these options together.
[SIGHS.]
Please.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
Uh, Ms.
Blake, as, uh, director of the residency program, I want you to know that we have followed your recommendations very seriously.
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
[CHUCKLES.]
Just in the past three weeks, we've hired six new attendings, and teaching cases have risen 40%.
That's very impressive.
I also read the Parkinson's research of Doctors Grey and Shepherd.
It sounds like you've done some groundbreaking work.
Well, they have indeed.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, this follow-up visit, it shouldn't take long.
I'll mostly be looking to confirm that the issues that I flagged have been addressed.
Which it seems that many of them have.
- You're almost done.
- Thank you.
Are these your residents? Hi.
Ms.
Blake, I am sure you are aware that the state the entire country, for that matter has been experiencing a serious blood shortage.
So we d-decided to take matters into our own hands.
By making your residents donate blood during a shift? It This is entirely voluntary.
Well, are you gonna shut us down for a nation-wide problem? [SCOFFS.]
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
So it moves the blood out of his body and oxygenates it so he doesn't have to use his lungs? That's right, it bypasses his heart and lungs.
Okay.
Um, let's do that, then.
Kristen, ECMO comes with its own complications.
Particularly, it comes with the risk of blood clots.
So, he could die more quickly.
Kristen, we usually use ECMO on patients so that their heart and lungs can rest and recover.
And Simon's lungs are not going to recover.
So what worries me about using ECMO in this case is that at some point We would have to unplug him.
At some point, yes.
And that might be harder than you It won't be.
It won't be harder.
I mean, honestly, it's all hard.
It's more than hard.

I know this surgery sounds really risky.
But in my professional opinion, it is your only chance of survival.
Worst-case scenario? You could have organ damage.
You could bleed too much.
- You could die.
- And soon.
Cora, you've put off your own health for a really long time.
