Chicago Med Season 1 quotes

Sharon Goodwin

Our server has been corrupted and shut down, and until we can restore the system, we'll be operating under downtime procedure. That means paper charts.

Maggie Lockwood

Oh, and no tablets, people. Hand 'em over.

Dr. Sarah Reese

So we have no access to anyone's medical records? How... how do we do stuff?

Sharon Goodwin

Well, there was a time not so long ago when we actually treated patients without the aid of computers. Imagine that. Tell them, Dr. Charles.

Sharon Goodwin

[reluctant to hand over his tablet] Can I keep it if I promise not to use it?

Maggie Lockwood

Sorry, Dr. Charles, IT needs to check them all out.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

I'm sorry, but the note says that if we pay them thirty Bitcoins, they'll give us a decryption key, so...

Sharon Goodwin

It's hospital policy not to engage with extortionists.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

So we're going to fly blind with one arm tied behind our back? It seems a little shortsighted. I mean, it's what, thirty, forty thousand dollars? It seems like nothing.

Dr. Will Halstead

[quietly to Natalie] Says the guy with the trust fund.

Sharon Goodwin

[her ex-husband's new girlfriend is being treated at the hospital] So I hear they went zip-lining in Costa Rica.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I thought it was South America somewhere.

Sharon Goodwin

You knew about this? Daniel.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I went and had drinks with Bert about a month ago, and, you know, he let it slip.

Sharon Goodwin

A month ago? And you've just been sitting on this?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Well, I kinda thought it was more up to Bert to tell you, and I advised him to do exactly that.

Sharon Goodwin

Yeah, well, he didn't.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I'm sorry. You know, it's not so easy staying neutral throughout all this, you know. You want me to choose sides, I'll pledge my loyalty to you right now.

Sharon Goodwin

Not necessary. I gotta get back to work.

Sharon Goodwin

Hey, Dr. Rhodes, I don't know if you heard, but somebody paid the ransom, an open violation of hospital policy.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

What, you think it was me? I'm sorry, Ms. Goodwin, but as much as I would like to take credit, I didn't do it.

Sharon Goodwin

Well somebody paid.

Sharon Goodwin

Was it you, Sam?

Dr. Sam Abrams

My kid starts Sarah Lawrence in the fall. Not a chance in hell I'm cutting a check that size to solve your problem.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Elliot is very troubled. The poor kid is just consumed with sexual thoughts.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Aren't most kids his age?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Yeah, but he's been raised to believe that sex is wrong unless it's for procreation. And repressing his natural urges is triggering aggressive impulses, which he's struggling to control.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Aggressive?

Dr. Daniel Charles

He fetishizes blondes. Stalks them.

Dr. Ethan Choi

We're talking about a sexual predator?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Not a psychopath. I mean, he has a conscience. I mean, I think he could definitely benefit from therapy, but I'm not ruling out those meds.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Chemical castration, really?

Dr. Daniel Charles

It's temporary, Ethan. Raping somebody isn't.

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.

So a kid got beat up. What does he need a psychiatrist for?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Well, Elliot was caught peeping on girls in the shower at school.

Oh, my god.

Wait 'till I get him home.

Dr. Daniel Charles

But much more troubling are some violent impulses that, so far, he hasn't acted upon.

Dr. Ethan Choi

And there is something we can do.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Elliot wants us to give him a medication that would turn off his testosterone. This would significantly decrease his sex drive and make it much easier for him to control these impulses, but we do need your permission to do it.

"Turn off his testosterone"? What exactly are you talking about?

Dr. Daniel Charles

The medical term is chemical castration.

What?

Dr. Daniel Charles

It's completely reversible. The idea would be to combine it with traditional therapy with the hope of ultimately weaning him off the medication.

No. No way.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Elliot could very well be on the verge of acting out on some very disturbing impulses, including rape.

He would never do anything like that.

You people are sick.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Again, this was your son's idea.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Elliot is torn up about this. He's scared he may not be able to stop himself.

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.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Sure you don't want me to wait with you?

Dr. Robin Charles

Connor, I'm fine.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

No, I'm not saying that you're not. I just know that waiting rooms can be awfully boring. You know, all those old issues of "People" magazine.

Dr. Robin Charles

Anyone gets a little anxiety, they get a massage. Daughter of a psychiatrist, full-blown psych eval.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

[cupping her face] Look, we both know that you haven't exactly been yourself lately. So let's just do this right. We'll get you back on your feet, okay?

Dr. Robin Charles

Fine.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Dr. Kwon just told me Robin's coming in to be evaluated. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Yeah, thanks. Just, um, I'm hoping for the best.

Dr. Sarah Reese

He chose me as the resident to do her initial evaluation.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Really?

Dr. Sarah Reese

Yeah, he said you spoke very highly of me. Thank you.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Well, I didn't tell him anything that wasn't true.

Dr. Sarah Reese

I imagine it must be hard to have to stay at arm's length from your daughter's treatment, but - and this goes without saying, but I just want to say it anyway - Dr. Kwon and I will do everything we can to make sure Robin gets the best possible care.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Dr. Reese, I have complete confidence in you. And there's anything I can do to help, you just let me know.

Dr. Sarah Reese

I will.

Dr. Sarah Reese

How dare you admit Robin behind my back? She is my patient. You didn't examine her. You didn't treat her.

Dr. Daniel Charles

You didn't see her apartment.

Dr. Sarah Reese

I don't care what you saw! You should've come to me first.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I didn't have time, Dr. Reese. She was leaving the hospital.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Yes, because I gave her the night to think about it. I know she needs to be admitted!

Dr. Daniel Charles

I thought... I thought that she was masking it from you.

Dr. Sarah Reese

No! We were making progress. I was trying to get her to admit herself voluntarily. To take ownership of the idea so she'd be in the best state of mind to accept treatment. I needed to earn her trust for that, and now that chance is gone. You had to run around sticking your nose in everything instead of letting me do my job.

Maggie Lockwood

Imagine that baby being responsible for keeping its sister alive. Serial bone marrow donation. Maybe a kidney one day. Part of its liver. Not gonna be easy.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Nope. But if your kid had advanced leukemia, what would you do?

Maggie Lockwood

Whatever it takes.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Mm-hmm.

Dr. Natalie Manning

Mr. Walker didn't die of an MI.

Dr. Will Halstead

[reading the autopsy report] Massive pulmonary embolism.

Dr. Natalie Manning

I can't believe it. I totally missed it.

Dr. Will Halstead

Oh, come on. Even if we knew, there's nothing we could have done differently. It happened so fast. We didn't have time to get heparin on board, let alone send him upstairs.

Dr. Natalie Manning

No, I know, but still... I... I...

Dr. Will Halstead

Wait. How did you get this so fast? These reports usually take at least three to four hours.

Dr. Natalie Manning

Nina brought it up to me.

Dr. Will Halstead

She came upstairs and gave it to you?

Dr. Natalie Manning

Yeah. You know, I... I... I'm gonna go back over the chart. See if there were some clues.

Dr. Will Halstead

Nat, listen. You did everything you could for that man, so don't get down on yourself over it. Hey, you're too good a doctor.

Dr. Daniel Charles

[about his daughter Robin] I really appreciate your being here. Support from friends and family is crucial for the therapeutic process, so thank you.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Committed against her will? She can't even shower by herself. That is some theraputic process.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Oh, I think we all wish this could've happened differently, but, you know, at least she's getting the care that she needs, and she's safe and secure.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

No. She's locked up. In prison. It's not the same thing. This place is what is gonna drive her crazy. She needs to be out of here.
