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.
Nat, I've met combat vets who have been paralyzed. The feelings of inferiority can be overwhelming. If you told them a bottle of snake oil might help them walk again, they'd drink it every time.
Losing hope is a not a sign of mental illness. It's a sign of being human. I mean, the poor girl; she has a violent, unstable mother, and her fate is in the hands of this psychiatrist who doesn't believe a word she says. I mean, given these odds, I can absolutely understand why she'd fall into despair.
[performing an ultrasound on a patient] No kidney stones. Let's look at the bladder. [noticing something unusual] How long did you say she was in a vegetative state for?
We're looking into all of the employees at Teresa's facility. We're checking visitor logs, security footage. We'll find out who had access to her and to her floor.
No. At five years in a persistent vegetative state, it's not. This is a high risk situation for pulmonary embolism, sepsis, colonic obstruction, respiratory failure.

But those are just risks, right? It could all work out.
There is another issue to consider. Given the abuse your daughter has undergone, do you believe that she would want to keep this pregnancy? In any case, you are Teresa's guardians, and therefore speak on her behalf. Your wishes will be honored.
No, I hardly knew him. He came to me - twice - asking about pills, about therapy. And that wasn't really what he was asking for. He was asking for help. I don't know why he came to me, but he did, and now he's dead. What kind of terrible psychiatrist am I gonna be?
