Transplant

All I could hear was your voice in my head.

Telling you what?

That I'm focusing on all the wrong things.

You should have helped me when you had the chance!

- I've never punched back. - My claim for asylum was denied.

The police came to my house.

They were asking about you at the hospital as well

: Bash, come quick!

Cecil's dead!

- What happened? - I don't know.

He was on his wheel all night. My class is going to hate me!

We have a hamster?

Um, Amira had one just for the night,

a loan from her class.

She said she asked you.

I was going to.

- Ah! - Cecil!

We've got him back.

: He's pretty cute. (LAUGHS)

Can I get one?

Uh, maybe when we get our own place?

- But I like it here. - I know.

But Theo will be leaving before long.

He's moving back to Sudbury when his fellowship ends.

I thought you liked it here too.

I do, but my life is there.

Do you want to go?

I don't know.

I need to go.

Khaled.

Keep pressure on it. Let's get you to the hospital.

_

It's been two months since that police officer came by asking for you.

I haven't seen her since.

Your ribs might be broken. Let me look.

It's possible a section of your rib cage has detached.

How do I fix that?

You get imaging, you could need surgery.

If the sharp edges of your ribs puncture an organ,

it's life-threatening.

So is being sent back to Libya.

There's got to be something else you can do.

Shopping for anything in particular?

: Um...

A needle driver, toothed forceps,

4.0 sutures, antiseptic wipes, and gauze.

Okay, well, it's a disaster in here.

So tell me where you are, and I will bring it to you.

What's up?

I know we treat patients without insurance,

but what about patients without ID?

We treat whoever walks in that door and needs it.

So, if they don't have ID,

you get a billing address.

Beyond that, hm, well...

money's accounting's problem.

And the information that goes in the system,

that's protected?

Protected from who?

The police?

Our system is completely closed.

Law enforcement has no access,

unless, of course, they have a warrant.

Do you want to tell me what this is about?

Um, it's probably better if I don't.

Thank you.

Dislocated knee in two needs an X-ray and 5 milligrams of IV morphine.

Exam four is sleeping it off,

so page me when he wakes up or his IV runs out, whatever comes first

Did the ELISA go out for Alyssa?

The Lyme disease test on the tick bite.

Oh, yeah. Um, yes.

I sent it to Public Health.

Okay. Confirm with a Western blot

and tell her they'll follow up when her results come in.

Do you need me to take some?

Ah, you're juggling already with five patients.

And you must be tired from your night shift.

- I can ask someone else. - It's fine, it's fine.

- Are you sure? - Here, yeah.

- I need a word with Dr. Leblanc. - Yes, thank you.

I've been meeting my targets on every shift, like you asked.

Yes, you've been very efficient.

I've organized a locum on diagnosing subjective illness

and I've just had a presenter drop.

I was thinking about your amnesia case

from a couple of months ago.

Are you saying I can present?

Well, only if you have the time.

Yeah. Absolutely.

Thank you. When?

Tomorrow morning.

I can make that work.

I'll send you some sample slides

so you can get your visuals together.

It's a good opportunity for you.

Not many second-year residents get the chance.

Thank you.

: I wish you'd come in.

I would be your doctor. You know you can trust me.

But what about everyone else?

They have no reason to keep my secret.

Once you're a patient, there's a duty of confidentiality.

For the doctors and nurses.

What if they asked some security guard or janitor?

None of them will have any idea about who you are.

I live with roommates because I can't sign a lease.

I'm always looking over my shoulder.

As your doctor, I'm telling you, you need treatment.

And as your friend, I'm telling you it's going to be okay.

Alright, so give him 2 milligrams of lorazepam

and we'll take him upstairs in ten.

Rhoda? You with me? Do you know that guy?

Because he seems to know you.

Dr. Curtis? You handle the lorazepam,

I'll handle him.

- Hi, June. - Not here.

What are you doing here?

It's not like I have your home number.

Yeah, but there's a reason for that.

I know you don't want to see me.

But I've been making changes, taking steps.

Twelve of them.

- June... - I'm not interested.

I promised myself I wouldn't push,

I just want to give you my number.

A father has a right to hope his daughter will call.

In case you change your mind.

You're likely going to need a surgical procedure

called a chest wall stabilization.

It will anchor your broken ribs so that they heal properly.

How long will that take?

One step at a time.

This is Claire, she's the head nurse here.

I have brought you something for the pain.

- Any allergies to medication? - No.

Do you know if your tetanus is up to date?

We'll do the tetanus as well.

Oh, okay.

Now, if the pain gets any worse,

don't hesitate to let any one of us know.

Thank you.

I'll get back to you when we have

a time slot available for surgery, okay?

Until then, get some rest.

So I take it he's a friend?

And the reason you asked me about the police before?

He's... He's not a criminal.

He's just, uh...

he's undocumented.

We will take good care of him.

Hey, Laura. I'm Dr. Leblanc. You were in an accident?

Uh, yeah.

I think my wrist might be broken.

Okay. Let's see, over here...

This....

Okay... Let me know if this hurts.

- Mm. - Yeah?

Okay, we'll do an X-ray, and take care of those scrapes.

Look over here.

Okay, again. Is someone here with you?

Mm-mm.

Okay.

Do you want to tell me how you hurt yourself?

I, uh, I told the nurse.

A woman on a bike crashed into me.

I was crossing the street too quickly

and, uh... I thought

maybe I hurt her, but, uh...

Uh, she said that she was fine.

Is that man with you?

Laura, I'm here to help.

But I can only do that if you tell me what's happening.

Uh...

That man is going to tell you that he's my father.

But he is not my father.

Please, just don't let him near me.

Fifteen years old, pulled from a swimming pool.

Head trauma during a dive.

Lifeguards did CPR, got him breathing within 60 seconds,

but he hasn't regained consciousness.

Pulse ox 95. BP 130 over 90.

Heart rate's 90.

On three. One, two, three.

Keep him on the long board, C collar, and re-breather,

monitor O2, CO2, he'll need a CT.

Come on, buddy.

Try and wake up for me.

Localize his pain. Incomprehensible sounds.

No eye opening. GSC 8.

Trey lost control of his dive.

That never happens to him.

Caught a piece of the lower board on his way down.

He just folded into the water, he wasn't even moving.

- How high was that? - Seven-and-a-half metres.

After they pulled him out, his body was just limp.
