John did you discharge Ravis?
Who?
22-year-old woman, she was taking birth control pills.
Yeah, why?
Weaver took her from me!
Oh.
She gave her to you.
Maybe she thought you were swamped?
Yeah, more like incompetent.
She made you Chief Resident, you know, you're the chosen one.
By default.
Doctors are human. We make mistakes.
If this guy had been properly diagnosed and sent straight to the OR without TNK he'd still be flipping burgers at McDonald's.
Marfan's is difficult to detect. The residents have never heard of it.
Which is why we have attendings.
I can't be everywhere at every moment.
Wrong answer. As we speak, "The Trib" is writing a feature story on this screw-up and the rise in preventable deaths. So you either come up with a better excuse than "doctors are human" or find yourself a good old-fashioned scapegoat.
Hey, this isn't about my performance, is it? Or my rotations. You just don't like me.
You're right. I don't like you. You have no respect for me, your colleagues, this hospital, anything. You like to think you have this whole cowboy approach to medicine, but you don't have the goods to back it up, so you make mistakes. Mistakes that kill people.
I need this job. You can't fire me. I have a kid to support.
Since when? You never said anything about being a father.
Did you ever ask? You don't know a damn thing about me.
I know you're fired.
You're a sad, cold-hearted bitch, you know that?
Someone call Security.
You may not like me, lady, but nobody here likes you.
Get out.
You wanna know why this damn ER is so important to you, huh? Because it's the only thing you've got in your life. [he takes off his ID badge and throws it at Weaver] Nazi dyke.
[after Weaver fires Malucci] You can't get rid of him just because the two of you don't get along. Hell, if that were the case, you'd have to fire all of us.
You know what? I'm not gonna justify my point of view to you!
I know growing up can be tough. You can call me anytime.
Yeah, until Mom takes away my phone privileges again.
It'll be okay.
No, it won't.
Rachel, what do you want me to do?
You could let me stay here.
You can't.
Why not?
Your mom would miss you.
Right.
You'd miss your friends.
They're only a phone call away. I'll make new ones.
What about school?
They have schools in Chicago. I just want to spend more time with you and Ella. I've got a baby sister who doesn't even know me, and Elizabeth is totally smart and cool. I mean, she's a great role model.
Are you serious about this?
Yes.
It's a big move.
I miss you, Dad.
I'll talk to your mother.
