:11:02
One of the night nurses
thought he was a patient...
:11:04
and plugged an IV into him.
He was a diabetic.
:11:07
What do you mean
she plugged an IV into him?
:11:09
It's a really screwed-up story.
:11:11
We had an old man in there
who died last night.
:11:14
So the bed was available.
You know Schaefer. He's Sammy Stud.
:11:17
He talked a nurse
into zapping him on the bed?
:11:20
A girl from Hematology
he's been running around with.
:11:22
- God, it's a Roman farce!
- I thought I heard you out here.
:11:28
I suggest you do that right now.
:11:31
I'm so terribly sorry.
:11:38
As I understand it...
:11:40
a nurse inadvertently administered an IV
to Schaefer. How could that happen?
:11:44
- We ought to straighten this out elsewhere.
- Very good idea.
:11:50
Oh, God, what a mess!
:12:02
- These things happen.
- I'd better call the Medical Examiner.
:12:06
- I still don't understand what happened.
- It took us an hour to get it sorted out.
:12:11
A patient named Guernsey
died last night, in 806.
:12:14
That information wasn't given
to the night nurses. These things happen.
:12:19
At any rate, according to the cardex...
:12:21
the patient, Guernsey, was down
for 25 mg of Sparine at q. 6h.
:12:25
Mrs. Reardon sent Nurse Perez
to give him his 12:00 shot.
:12:28
In the meantime, Dr. Schaefer
usurped that particular bed...
:12:32
for his own purposes.
:12:34
Dr. Brubaker suggests
it was for a love tryst...
:12:36
and some weight is given that hypothesis...
:12:38
- by the fact that Dr. Schaefer was naked.
- I get the drift.
:12:41
Nurse Perez went in
and sedated Dr. Schaefer...
:12:44
thinking it was the patient Guernsey.
What I don't understand...
:12:47
May I finish, please?
:12:49
After Perez gave him his shot, she noticed
the IV was pinched off on the bed.
:12:54
She reported this to Mrs. Reardon...
:12:56
who then assigned Nurse Rivers
to restart the IV.
:12:59
Rivers was a float. She didn't even know
the staff people on the floor.
