Oh, god. I can't imagine how hard this has been for her. I took her to every specialist. I... I did what the doctors told me to. I thought she was faking.
Well, he can't decide. He is eight years old, okay? His brain is literally not developed enough to process this. Life and death and forever are concepts that he cannot fully understand yet.
[after "meeting" a patient's alternate personality] Obviously, she is profoundly disturbed, which we should have known when she first said "tulpa". Why are we treating her like she is sane when she isn't?
Wouldn't that be a little too easy, though? I mean, sure, we could, you know, slap a label on her, put her in some diagnostic box, pour some medicine on top; but sometimes it's a little more complicated than that.
Well, I don't see the science or the art. You know, everybody was so surprised when I went into this; me, the lab geek. Well, they were right. I don't belong here.
Like it or not, the line between psychological illness and a coping mechanism is a blurry one. I mean, just 'cause we don't give them names and voices doesn't mean we don't all have different sides. I mean, our personalities change based on... how much sleep we get, how hungry we are. Hell, intestinal bacteria could be the determining factor in our emotions. Look... I know you think of yourself as an analytical thinker and a scientist, and that you're wondering if you have a place in psychiatry right now. But I also see this other Sarah in there, and she's filled with intuition and compassion, humanity. And when you put 'em both together, like during Grace's panic attack today, then I see a sensational psychiatrist.
All right, likely an amniotic fluid embolism. Impact from the accident forced amniotic fluid into her bloodstream, disrupted her clotting factors. Trigger the MTP. We need to get this baby out now.
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.
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.
As you well know, he's not in pain because his cutaneous nerves have been destroyed by the burn. Very soon, his organs will begin to shut down. He is going to die. And treating him will only take resources away from patients who have a chance of survival.
Yeah. It really doesn't work that way. You see, your behavior indicates a pretty profound personality disorder. Off the cuff, among other things, I'd say you're probably a malignant narcissist with over sadistic impulses.
Which improves his overall chances of survival from 1% to 2. I'm not opening up his skull. I question whether he's even strong enough for this CT, but that was your call.
Yes, and the suit was how Edward dealt with his wife's death. See, I'm concerned that if he leaves, he's just gonna go get another one, and that will lead him right back here. Some knucklehead will see him in that costume and pick a fight. "Let's see how tough you are, Super-guy."
And he's certainly not a danger to others. He literally presented saving a woman's life. I mean, he just doesn't meet the criteria for a psychiatric hold.
