Pat Halstead quotes from Chicago Med

Dr. Will Halstead

Hey, pop.

Pat Halstead

What are you doing here?

Jay Halstead

I called him.

Pat Halstead

Wasted trip. I don't need you.

Jay Halstead

Are you kidding me? You missed two days of work, and you never miss work.

Dr. Will Halstead

Pops, this is Connor Rhodes. He's another doc at Med.

Pat Halstead

[glares at Will] Told you I don't need this.

Dr. Will Halstead

Come on, you can barely talk.

Pat Halstead

I'm gonna take advice from someone who wet the bed till he was nine?

Jay Halstead

Never changes. [gets up to leave] I gotta get back to the district.

Dr. Will Halstead

Thanks, Jay.

Pat Halstead

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

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.

Jay Halstead

[his Dad is hospitalized at Chicago Med] Pop tried to play hero. He forgot he was in his 60s with a bum ticker.

Pat Halstead

Yeah, well, this is your fault to begin with.

Jay Halstead

Me?

Pat Halstead

Yeah. Stick me in that fire trap.

Dr. Will Halstead

Pop, stop talking.

Jay Halstead

You said you liked the place.

Dr. Will Halstead

You close on the EKG?

Just about.

Pat Halstead

What's the point of this?

Dr. Will Halstead

Easy. Paramedics said you were complaining of chest pain. Did you forget you had a quadruple bypass a few weeks ago? Come on, stay still.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

[enters] Hey, if it isn't my favorite patient. How you doing, Mr. Halstead?

Pat Halstead

Fine.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

So you felt some tightness in your chest, huh?

Pat Halstead

It's nothing.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Well, you might be right. I don't see any ST elevation or depression. No left access deviation. Looks like a strong and healthy heart to me.

Pat Halstead

Yeah, good. We done?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Nope, not yet. You still have a pretty nasty inhalation injury.

Dr. Will Halstead

Can I get a CBC, CMP, and carboxyhemoglobin?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

And add a full cardiac workup.

Maggie Lockwood

Dr. Rhodes? Dr. Choi needs a consult.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Yeah. Mr. Halstead, a pleasure as always.

Dr. Will Halstead

Thank you, Connor.

Pat Halstead

I don't need all this.

Jay Halstead

Calm down, you're getting yourself worked up.

Pat Halstead

What do you know? You're no doctor.

Will Halstead

Pop.

Jay Halstead

Forget it.

Pat Halstead

You had no right to sell my house.

Jay Halstead

You want to talk about this again? It was a wreck. You couldn't take care of the place.

Pat Halstead

You just wanted my money.

Jay Halstead

Hey. You don't have any money, you thankless old prick! Whatever.

Dr. Will Halstead

Jay.
