What happened back there... sometimes when people are grieving, they last out.

Yeah, no, that's... that's how my folks always are. Man, they-they-they think I'm, uh... I'm worthless. I don't know. May-maybe I am, but they think I want to be like this, and-and I really don't. Uh, you know, My-Myra, she was the only one who ever, like... like, really... like, like, saw me. You know?
Listen, Dr. Reese, if you're thinking that in some way this might've been your fault, it just wasn't. He was a very self-destructive guy, and there's just no guarantee the outcome would've been any different no matter where he ended up.
So, uh... yeah, things got a little... out of hand today, and, um... you know, if the offer's still good, I was thinking that... maybe I could use a few days off.
Wait a minute, she won't consent to being tested because she'd rather die than have her family find out she has AIDS, and you're saying she's capable of making rational decisions.
You know, Dr. Choi, there's a pretty important statute, known as the HIPPA privacy rule, that protects every patient's personal health information from being shared with anybody else.
[turning to leave, he stops at the door] With all due respect, if all we were gonna do is follow the rules, we should've done what Stohl wanted and turfed her back to East Mercy.
Sarah, I get it. You know, this can be a very chaotic, often downright scary work environment. And you know what? It's not necessarily for everybody. I... I chose emergency psychiatry 'cause it was the right thing for me at the time.
They were my patients, yes. They died in the '80s. I was their nurse. It was a terrifying time. Some days, we lost two, three patients. See, we barely understood what AIDS was back then, let alone how to treat it.
I know. It's hard, isn't it? I could only imagine who they might've been, what they might've done with their lives, if they had a chance. They had such promise.

These patients, how many of them died alone without their families?
And I'm sure they don't want to live without you. I can see it in your aunt's eyes. I know that look. She's terrified of losing you. You're so young, Abena. Don't rob yourself of a future that these young people could only dream about. I lost a lot of patients. I don't want to add you to this folder.
That's not the only thing that's off. [showing her an image on her tablet] Tubal ligation clips. She had her tubes tied. Why wouldn't she put that in her history?
