:31:01
Nobody else cares?
:31:02
Listen.
:31:04
There have been 1 0 cases
of unexplained coma...
:31:07
...in young, healthy patients
in the last year.
:31:10
Now, don't you find that surprising?
:31:15
You don't.
:31:17
Susan, this hospital does
30,000 operations a year.
:31:21
l'm not surprised a few turn out
with serious unexplained side effects.
:31:26
Medicine isn't perfect.
:31:28
We all accept that.
:31:30
Don't we?
:31:33
There's a crisis
in her personal life.
:31:35
-She's involved with a resident.
-l know.
:31:37
lt's led her to overreact
to this situation...
:31:39
...which she has not
consciously faced.
:31:42
She's under stress
and a little paranoid.
:31:45
Think we'll have
any more trouble with her?
:31:48
l don't think so.
:31:49
l hope you're right.
:31:51
l hate to admit it. l think l was
really upset about Nancy.
:31:56
You on call tonight?
:31:57
So am l.
:31:59
Why don't we have
a terrific dinner...
:32:01
...just the two of us
in the hospital cafeteria?
:32:03
-Sounds great!
-About 1 1 ?
:32:05
You got a date.
:32:06
Maybe afterwards, we can go to
our favorite room on the eighth floor.
:32:10
Nobody will be there after midnight.
:32:12
l think we're looking
at cortical anoxia.
:32:15
-l'll check the Babinski.
-How old is he?
:32:17
Thirty-five.
:32:18
When did you administer
the additional dosage?
:32:21
At the onset of cardiac irritability.
The surgeon said he was light.
:32:24
Surgeons know nothing about anesthesia.
What'd you give?
:32:27
Two cc's push.
:32:29
There was no reason
there'd be a problem.
:32:31
Just seemed a little light.
:32:33
Some PVC in runs,
transient hypotension...
:32:35
...but no sign of hypoxia.
:32:37
Skin color and blood
were all red and fully oxygenated.
:32:41
The pupils are fixed and dilated,
l must presume brain death.
:32:44
Any relation to your other case?
:32:46
Completely different.
:32:47
Different staffs,
different anesthetic agents.
:32:50
-He better be trached.
-Do we need a pulmonary consult?
:32:53
Request the consult...
:32:55
...but go ahead with the tracheotomy.
:32:57
This is a long-term
management problem.
:32:59
-Come on.
-lt happened again.
