Nurse, Drew and others in “Unfinished Business”

The doctor will be right in.

Thanks.

Drew.

Hey. Hey. Wow!

That's not your chart.

No, I know. I know. I was just concerned for Mrs. Yang.

So, how's it going? Any more luck with the peeing?

No. No luck. I stand. I sit. I can't even do it in the shower.

All right. Let's take a look at your blood work. Oh.

Oh. What is "oh"?

Your creatinine level is through the roof.

And that's not good?

Rule of thumb, nothing in your body should ever be through the roof. Drew, I'm afraid you're in renal failure.

"Renal" as in "kidney"?

Yes.

Okay. Well, any chance there could be a mistake? I mean, that girl who took my blood, you know, with the piercings and the tattoos.

My daughter.

Very pretty. Cool style. So, what are we talking here? Medication? Diet? All fat? No fat? Should I be catching my own fish?

It's a little more serious than that. Uh, I'm gonna give you the name of an excellent nephrologist.

Good. Good. Good. Good. Yeah, I don't want a strip mall nephrologist. Excuse me, I'm a little dry.

You know, when I did pee, it made that sound.

Look, I know it's a lot to process, but you really need to start thinking about potential kidney donors.

Whoa. Uh, hang on. You're saying, uh... You're saying I need a new kidney?

I'd start with family. They're usually the best match.

Oh, great, a Republican kidney.

It'll just help you pee. It won't tell you which bathroom to pee in. Well, how about friends?

I don't really have kidney friends. I mean, I have friends, don't get me wrong. Just not the kind that, you know, care about me.

Well, meanwhile, you just gotta try to stay positive.

Yeah. How do I do that?

I drink, but you have to make your own choices.
