Why are you negotiating? Dangerously low albumin, renal insufficiency. 5'6" and less than 70 pounds. Dr. Charles, I carried her in, she was nothing. She needs high-calorie, long-term nutrition.
Anorexia is actually the most deadly mental illness that there is. Every instinct she has is telling her to resist this, and I don't want to push her any harder than she'll let us.
I did my two-week suspension. I am in therapy. I am not supposed to be afraid anymore. I am a psychiatrist. Rule number one is to connect with your patients, and I could not even look her in the eye.
Look, the good news is that you recognize the problem. Right? Sarah, nobody learns how to master their fears in two weeks, trust me. It just doesn't happen. Not even somebody as determined as you are.
Okay. You know, when, um... when Allison died today, I saw myself, because she could not change. But I have to. I have to. I just don't know how. You have to help me. Dr. Charles.
What, are you kidding me? Guy like Hector, not gonna let you in. A shrink? He's utterly terrified of what you might find; you know, what he might have to face, you know, so he does the jailhouse thing.
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.
The last few months, you've been preaching to me that I can either see my patients as a threat or as an opportunity. Was I afraid in there? Yes. But my fear no longer controls me. I control it, and now Ben controls his, too.
You are missing the point! I appreciate that exposure therapy has given you a newfound sense of confidence, but it does not make you all-knowing and invincible. What you just did in there was unbelievably stupid.
Oh, you think you're protecting him? Do you have any idea how dangerous an ED is for a child without immunity? Do not assume that there aren't more idiots like you out there.
And who knows what these kids might have. Measles, mumps, polio. Get your son out of here. [he doesn't move] I'm serious. Get your son out of here now.
Look... we're all taught to see things a certain way, and most of the time, that works, just... not all the time. It is a very, very hard thing to see past our assumptions. Believe me, I'm still learning.
