Dr. Stanley Stohl 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.

Dr. Stanley Stohl

Wait a minute, she won't consent to being tested because she'd rather die than have her family find out she has AIDS, and you're saying she's capable of making rational decisions.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Just because you don't like the decision she's making doesn't mean she's incapable of making it.

Dr. Stanley Stohl

Dr. Rhodes, he's braindead.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Is he a donor?

Nurse Doris

[checking the patient's license] Yeah.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Okay... let's get an angio to confirm brain death, then get a cardiac echo. I've got a patient who needs a heart.

Dr. Stanley Stohl

You're wasting your time on this one, Dr. Rhodes. I heard significant mitral regurg on auscultation. There's no way that heart is viable.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Maybe not now, but that doesn't mean I can't fix it. Let's get him up to Radiology now.

Sharon Goodwin

Dr. Stohl, we've got incoming.

Dr. Stanley Stohl

How many?

Sharon Goodwin

25, at least ten critical.

Dr. Stanley Stohl

That's too many. We're already swamped. They need to be rerouted to East Mercy or Lakeshore Memorial.

Sharon Goodwin

They can't. They're choked up, too. They're trying to send patients to us. So let's get Maggie to double up patients into treatment rooms and trauma bays. Remove the dividing walls to make the space. April, with me. We need to help unload these ambos.

April Sexton

Two per room? That's not gonna do it.

Sharon Goodwin

No, not even close.
