Dr. Connor Rhodes quotes from Chicago Med

Dr. Connor Rhodes

I envied you today. Making those decisions clinically, not letting your emotions interfere.

Dr. Isidore Latham

Dr. Rhodes, are you saying you envy my autism?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

A little bit, yeah.

Sharon Goodwin

Case coming your way. Window washer fell thirty-three stories. Should be DOA, but still alive. Barely.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Thirty-three?

Sharon Goodwin

Press will be all over this. Hospital PR's gonna be involved. Get ready for your close-up.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Thirty-three stories. God. Massive subdural hemorrhage. Significant left shift. Big mass effect is crushing his brain inside of his skull.

Dr. Sam Abrams

Well, he did fall off a building.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Craniotomy, right?

Dr. Sam Abrams

To what end? He's coagulopathic. I go in and take out the clot, it'll just re-accumulate.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

No, I don't think so. I'm actively giving him plasma, platelets, and cryo.

Dr. Sam Abrams

Which improves his overall chances of survival from 1% to 2. I'm not opening up his skull. I question whether he's even strong enough for this CT, but that was your call.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

If the pressure on his brain isn't relieved, it's over. That's 100%. I got him this far. He'll get through surgery.

Dr. Sam Abrams

All the king's horses and all the king's men... guess they should've gone to you.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

You and Dr. Wheeler were friends?

Dr. Sarah Reese

No, I hardly knew him. He came to me - twice - asking about pills, about therapy. And that wasn't really what he was asking for. He was asking for help. I don't know why he came to me, but he did, and now he's dead. What kind of terrible psychiatrist am I gonna be?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

You can't jump in and save everyone, Reese. It's just not possible.

Dr. Sarah Reese

It's not that I didn't jump in to save him. I didn't even see that he was drowning.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

I'm sorry, but the note says that if we pay them thirty Bitcoins, they'll give us a decryption key, so...

Sharon Goodwin

It's hospital policy not to engage with extortionists.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

So we're going to fly blind with one arm tied behind our back? It seems a little shortsighted. I mean, it's what, thirty, forty thousand dollars? It seems like nothing.

Dr. Will Halstead

[quietly to Natalie] Says the guy with the trust fund.

Sharon Goodwin

Hey, Dr. Rhodes, I don't know if you heard, but somebody paid the ransom, an open violation of hospital policy.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

What, you think it was me? I'm sorry, Ms. Goodwin, but as much as I would like to take credit, I didn't do it.

Sharon Goodwin

Well somebody paid.

Sharon Goodwin

Was it you, Sam?

Dr. Sam Abrams

My kid starts Sarah Lawrence in the fall. Not a chance in hell I'm cutting a check that size to solve your problem.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Mr. Halstead, I'm seeing some things that tell me that your heart isn't working very well. Your fingertips are purple, you're having a hard time breathing, and your energy seems, uh... depleted.

Pat Halstead

Had this heart thing forever. It's... it's never been a problem.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

You mind if I have a listen?

Pat Halstead

If it'll get you two off my ass.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

[listening to Pat's heart] Apical holosystolic murmur and the lungs are wet.

Pat Halstead

In English?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

It means that your heart has been compensating for the faulty valve for a very long time, and now it can't keep up, so fluid is backing up into your lungs.

Dr. Will Halstead

It literally means you're drowning in your own blood. We need to get you to the hospital.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Don't worry, Mr. Halstead. We're gonna get that mitral valve fixed.

Pat Halstead

Damn. The kid was right. Not so much a kid anymore, is he?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

No.

Pat Halstead

Did you know he put himself through college? I told him... told him it was a waste of time and damned if I was gonna pay for it.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Well, I'm sure you're very proud of him.

Pat Halstead

That doesn't even begin to say it. He made something of his life. He's a better man than I am.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

I don't think he feels that way, sir. And I'm sure that he wouldn't want you to, either.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Sure you don't want me to wait with you?

Dr. Robin Charles

Connor, I'm fine.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

No, I'm not saying that you're not. I just know that waiting rooms can be awfully boring. You know, all those old issues of "People" magazine.

Dr. Robin Charles

Anyone gets a little anxiety, they get a massage. Daughter of a psychiatrist, full-blown psych eval.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

[cupping her face] Look, we both know that you haven't exactly been yourself lately. So let's just do this right. We'll get you back on your feet, okay?

Dr. Robin Charles

Fine.

Maggie Lockwood

Imagine that baby being responsible for keeping its sister alive. Serial bone marrow donation. Maybe a kidney one day. Part of its liver. Not gonna be easy.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Nope. But if your kid had advanced leukemia, what would you do?

Maggie Lockwood

Whatever it takes.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Mm-hmm.

Dr. Daniel Charles

[about his daughter Robin] I really appreciate your being here. Support from friends and family is crucial for the therapeutic process, so thank you.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Committed against her will? She can't even shower by herself. That is some theraputic process.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Oh, I think we all wish this could've happened differently, but, you know, at least she's getting the care that she needs, and she's safe and secure.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

No. She's locked up. In prison. It's not the same thing. This place is what is gonna drive her crazy. She needs to be out of here.

Dr. Daniel Charles

[Robin has been brought into Med after a psychotic break] So, you, um... you starting to figure out why I didn't want her leaving the hospital?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

She was rational. She was lucid.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I warned you.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Robin was fine, okay? Suddenly, she just...

Dr. Daniel Charles

Suddenly, look at her now! This is on you. You did this.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

I was wrong to take Robin out of the hospital. I'm sorry.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Well... I have certainly been wrong, too. Seeing the whole thing through the prism of my own fears.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Since I was a kid, I always wondered if there was something I could've done to stop my mom from killing herself. I obviously couldn't save my mom, but I was sure as hell gonna try and save Robin.

Dr. Daniel Charles

You know, at one point, I considered bringing that up. Decided it probably wouldn't have been helpful.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

[they share a snicker] Yeah, probably not.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Well, she's not gonna want to have anything to do with me after all this is over, that's for sure.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

You saw Mr. Crocker?

Dr. Ethan Choi

Yeah. Pretty young to have that kind of heart trouble.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Well, could be genetics or... he said he's alone, right? He's not married. No friends. No family.

Dr. Ethan Choi

None.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Loneliness puts you at risk for heart disease.

Dr. Ethan Choi

That for real?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Yeah. I think we all know that love can hurt, right? But loneliness, that'll kill you.

Dr. Robin Charles

A tumor?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Yeah. Reaction to your antibodies caused your psychiatric symptoms.

Dr. Robin Charles

So I was crazy, but I wasn't crazy?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Yeah, something like that.

Dr. Robin Charles

Okay.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

You should know something. It was your dad that came up with the diagnosis. Robin, he's hardly left your side. You should talk to him.
