Dr. Ava Bekker quotes from Chicago Med

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Can you cover for me tomorrow?

Dr. Ava Bekker

Sure. Are you getting sick?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

No, I'm headed to Minneapolis.

Dr. Ava Bekker

That sounds even worse. Why are going there? [realizing] Oh, is that where Robin moved to?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Yeah, it is.

Dr. Ava Bekker

So this is, what, a misguided attempt to win her back?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Forget I asked.

Dr. Ava Bekker

No, I'm happy to do it. Mostly because I find your gift for self-flagellation fascinating.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

What is that supposed to mean?

Dr. Ava Bekker

Just that, from what I've gathered, this sounds like a fool's errand.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

[sarcastic] CT's own Dr. Phil? Thank you.

Dr. Ava Bekker

Doctor who?

Dr. Ava Bekker

It must be hard remembering all their names. Now, I read that Derek Jeter used to send his conquests home with a gift basket, but a full cardio workup is-is much classier.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Jeter, huh? You-you're... you're a baseball fan?

Dr. Ava Bekker

No. It's too boring. But I love gossip.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

[about a juvenile transplant patient] We have to put him on ECMO.

Dr. Ava Bekker

What?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

He's satting in the 80s and wearing down. His respiratory muscles are going to give out.

Dr. Ava Bekker

But ECMO could introduce an infection. It's a partial contraindication of surgery.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

And Kansas is a two-hour flight. We have to keep him oxygenated 'till the lungs get here.

Dr. Ava Bekker

Those lungs only last four hours. If anything goes wrong before they get here, and he's stuck on ECMO, we may not be able to get him off. He could die.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Then we make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Dr. Ava Bekker

A transfusion is going to increase his antibody county. His PRA's already at 50. If it hits 80, we can't use those lungs.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

You think I don't know that? We don't have a choice.

Dr. Ava Bekker

We wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't insisted on ECMO in the first place.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

You keep pointing out problems. What I need are solutions, so if you don't have any, just... just get out of my way, okay?
