Sharon Goodwin quotes from Chicago Med

Dr. Ethan Choi

[a patient has a gun up his rectum] He says he has no idea how the gun got up there.

Sharon Goodwin

All right, what are our options?

Dr. Ethan Choi

It's not gonna be easy getting it out. It's just past his sphincter.

Dr. Jeff Clarke

Plus, the hammer's cocked. So if there's a live round in there...

Sharon Goodwin

Seriously?

Dr. Stanley Stohl

Could do some real damage... 22 single-shot derringer. That's a big kick for a little gun.

Sharon Goodwin

So we work up a plan to get him to the O.R. Page the surgeon on call.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Ms. Goodwin, I think it'd be safer to do it here. Jeff and I both have weapons experience. We sedate him, try to slide it out. If we can't make it, then we call in surgery.

Dr. Jeff Clarke

I'm in.

Maggie Lockwood

Should we call CPD?

Sharon Goodwin

Yes. We'll need enough body armor and gear to protect whoever's in there with him. And let's keep this area clear.

Dr. Stanley Stohl

And I'll keep the cameraman away from all this. It's unsafe, and frankly, it's distasteful.

Sharon Goodwin

Because of emergency surgeries, and a pregnant mother's serious bleeding disorder, we have used almost all of our O-negative. We can either treat Benjamin or Josh, but not both.

Dr. Will Halstead

Benjamin needs an angio emolization more urgently than Josh needs surgery.

Dr. Natalie Manning

How can you say that? Josh isn't compensating for his blood loss as well. He's in worse shape.

Dr. Will Halstead

I understand you're trying to protect your patient, but you're being emotional.

Dr. Natalie Manning

[insulted] Emotional? And what are you being?

Sharon Goodwin

Our recommendation needs to be based solely on clinical criteria. So I'm handing it over to the triage team.

Dr. Isidore Latham

Dr. Rhodes, your opinion?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

I have to agree with Dr. Halstead that Benjamin needs angio embolization more urgently than Josh needs surgery.

Dr. Isidore Latham

Not the issue. We're here to decide who has the best chance of survival, so...

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Unfortunately, even if Benjamin gets the embolization, there's only a 15% chance that the bleeding in his pelvis will stop.

Dr. Isidore Latham

Exactly. Whereas with Dr. Manning's patient, as the pressure in his thighs builds, the bleeding will eventually slow. Worst case, Josh loses a leg, but there is no question he has the best chance of survival.

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.

Sharon Goodwin

In your daughter's condition, I have to tell you, taking this pregnancy to term would be extremely difficult.

Why? Her brain has been injured, but her body's healthy.

Dr. Natalie Manning

No. At five years in a persistent vegetative state, it's not. This is a high risk situation for pulmonary embolism, sepsis, colonic obstruction, respiratory failure.

But those are just risks, right? It could all work out.

Sharon Goodwin

They are extremely high risks.

Dr. Natalie Manning

If you have your daughter go through with this pregnancy, there is a chance that she will not survive.

She's hardly living as it is. If she dies giving birth, maybe that's a merciful outcome. Sometimes, I've wished for that.

Sharon Goodwin

There is another issue to consider. Given the abuse your daughter has undergone, do you believe that she would want to keep this pregnancy? In any case, you are Teresa's guardians, and therefore speak on her behalf. Your wishes will be honored.

Sharon Goodwin

When I took this job, Daniel, I wanted to create an environment where we would never lose someone. Everyone would look out for each other. I thought I did. But then today, I found out there was a very troubled young man in our midst, and not a single person knew him. I failed.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Sharon, come on.

Sharon Goodwin

No, no. You... you got wonder about all the ones who don't jump off the ledge; what's going through their heads, how this job is affecting them. I worry about these people, Daniel. I worry about them.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I know you do. I know you do.

Sharon Goodwin

I wish I could protect them.

April Sexton

What is all this about malware and decryption keys?

Sharon Goodwin

It's a ransom note. We've been hacked.

Sharon Goodwin

Our server has been corrupted and shut down, and until we can restore the system, we'll be operating under downtime procedure. That means paper charts.

Maggie Lockwood

Oh, and no tablets, people. Hand 'em over.

Dr. Sarah Reese

So we have no access to anyone's medical records? How... how do we do stuff?

Sharon Goodwin

Well, there was a time not so long ago when we actually treated patients without the aid of computers. Imagine that. Tell them, Dr. Charles.

Sharon Goodwin

[reluctant to hand over his tablet] Can I keep it if I promise not to use it?

Maggie Lockwood

Sorry, Dr. Charles, IT needs to check them all out.

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

[her ex-husband's new girlfriend is being treated at the hospital] So I hear they went zip-lining in Costa Rica.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I thought it was South America somewhere.

Sharon Goodwin

You knew about this? Daniel.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I went and had drinks with Bert about a month ago, and, you know, he let it slip.

Sharon Goodwin

A month ago? And you've just been sitting on this?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Well, I kinda thought it was more up to Bert to tell you, and I advised him to do exactly that.

Sharon Goodwin

Yeah, well, he didn't.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I'm sorry. You know, it's not so easy staying neutral throughout all this, you know. You want me to choose sides, I'll pledge my loyalty to you right now.

Sharon Goodwin

Not necessary. I gotta get back to work.

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.

Sharon Goodwin

Making a break for it, Keoni? Really?

Seemed like a good idea at the time. Figured Maggie was sending over a shrink.

Sharon Goodwin

Oh, no. You get me.

I appreciate the red carpet, but there's nothing you can do. In the back of my mind, I knew it was diabetes. I should've never come to the hospital.

Sharon Goodwin

Because what, denial is a good solution?

You don't understand, Sharon. My family, diabetes kills. Now it's my turn.

Sharon Goodwin

Your genetics don't doom you, Keoni.

No? I eat healthy. I don't drink the coladas or the daiquiris that I make at the bar. I exercise. Yet here I am. I did what I was supposed to do.

Sharon Goodwin

Yeah, and unfortunately, people like you and I have to do that and more to break the cycle. Yes, I have diabetes, too. And I've lost family also.

I didn't know.

Sharon Goodwin

Many don't. And it's not because I'm hiding it, but because I've got it under control. And I have for the last fourteen years. There are people in this hospital who have to surrender. You have an opportunity. [handing him a pamphlet] You better take it.

Dr. Sarah Reese

I have been reviewing Robin's history just to make sure we haven't missed anything, and... well, uh, some of her symptoms, they're not consistent with a psychiatric disorder.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Dr. Reese...

Sharon Goodwin

Let her finish.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Two days ago when Robin came to the hospital, she was running a mild fever, 100.2, and her BP was elevated. Now, at the time, we didn't think anything of it...

Dr. Daniel Charles

That's cause it's a very mild fever. And of course her BP was elevated. She was on a forced hold. She was agitated.

Dr. Sarah Reese

But when Robin was brought in today, it seemed she was experiencing visual hallucinations. Now, auditory hallucinations indicate a mental disorder, but visual hallucinations should be considered organic until proven otherwise.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I think we all wish that Robin had a treatable physical condition rather than...

Dr. Sarah Reese

I want to check her ceruloplasmin levels and run an FTA-ABS, as well as an MRI and EEG to rule out scelerosis and epilepsy.

Sharon Goodwin

Of course. Do it.

Sharon Goodwin

What's the matter with you?

Dr. Daniel Charles

She's trying to make me feel better. And bless her, but she's grasping at straws. Come on.

Sharon Goodwin

Are you so blinded by your fear that Robin inherited her problems from you that you won't even entertain an alternative?

Dr. Daniel Charles

False hope, Sharon. Come on. I don't need any.

Sharon Goodwin

You don't know that. Where's the Daniel who leaves no stone unturned when diagnosing a patient? Where's the Daniel who never gives up? Don't you think your own daughter deserves that much?

Dr. Sarah Reese

Were you aware that Dr. Charles was testifying in Kellogg's defense?

Sharon Goodwin

I found out today. Dr. Charles wants him remanded to a psychiatric facility.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Which means he won't go to jail. That's absurd. The man came here and tried to kill a medical health professional because he wanted attention.

Sharon Goodwin

Well, I'm as upset as you are. I'm the one who found him bleeding on the sidewalk.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Jack Kellogg is a devious sociopath. He'll con his way out of mental institution and be back on the streets. We have a responsibility, a public responsibility, to make sure that doesn't happen.

Sharon Goodwin

Unfortunately, Dr. Reese, there's nothing you or I can do. It's up to the jury.

Sharon Goodwin

You want to feed a patient against her will.

Dr. Will Halstead

A pregnant mother who's killing her baby.

Dr. Natalie Manning

We believe she has something called orthorexia, an obsession with healthy living that has limited her diet so severly that it's become dangerous.

Dr. Will Halstead

And has led to a pathologic distrust of the entire medical system. She won't let us do anything.

Sharon Goodwin

Well, is she delusional? Can she make decisions on her own?

Dr. Natalie Manning

No, she is very clear about what she wants and what she does not want.

Sharon Goodwin

Well, then we can't prove incompetence, and we can't force her to do anything to her body she doesn't want. The law sides with her.

Dr. Will Halstead

But there are two patients here.

Dr. Natalie Manning

Yeah, one of whom has no control over what's being done to it.

Dr. Will Halstead

This is child abuse.

Sharon Goodwin

Well, I can convene an emergency ethics committee. It's possible they may find grounds to override her decision.

Dr. Natalie Manning

And in the meantime?

Sharon Goodwin

See if you can find a way to help her trust us.

Dr. Daniel Charles

How'd that metal detector thing turn out?

Sharon Goodwin

I changed my mind.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Really?

Sharon Goodwin

Yeah. I saw a woman today who almost killed her baby because she didn't trust us. And I thought "How can we encourage people to trust us more if we don't show them trust first?".

Dr. Daniel Charles

Couldn't agree more.
