:13:03
Nobody knew what the patient looked like,
since he'd only been admitted that morning.
:13:09
- So she plugged an IV into him.
- Yes.
:13:12
- How much?
- A liter.
:13:16
Five percent glucose solution
won't kill anybody.
:13:21
Was he dehydrated?
Did he have any ancillary conditions?
:13:24
Didn't anybody bother to go check on him
during the night?
:13:27
Even under the impression
that he was merely a patient?
:13:30
Was he hyperosmolar?
Did he have a bad heart?
:13:32
He must have had some sort of thrombosis.
:13:37
I want the post done here, Mr. Hitchcock.
:13:41
You and I better have a chat
about your excessive use of float nurses.
:13:44
I've got nearly a thousand nurses
in this hospital...
:13:46
Every time one of them has her period,
she disappears for three days.
:13:50
Doctors complain they can't find
the same nurse on the same floor...
:13:54
two days in a row.
:13:55
What am I gonna tell Schaefer's parents?
:13:58
That a substitute nurse assassinated him...
:14:00
as she couldn't tell the doctors
from the patients on the floor?
:14:03
My God!
:14:05
The incompetence here
is absolutely radiant!
:14:11
Two nurses walk into a room
and stick needles in a man...
:14:14
and one of those is a Number 18 Jelco,
tourniquet the poor guy...
:14:18
anchor the poor guy's arm
with adhesive tape...
:14:20
and it's the wrong poor son of a bitch!
:14:25
Where do you train your nurses,
Mrs. Christie? Dachau?
:14:33
All right.
:14:36
Wrap him up
and get him down to Pathology.
:14:38
I'm especially interested in his blood sugar.
:14:41
A liter of glucose never killed anybody.
Your ladies must have done something else.
:14:46
- Will there be anything else?
- No.
:14:51
Before you call the family,
I wish you'd speak to Mr. Mead about this.
:14:55
We'd like, naturally, to avoid litigation.
