Grey's Anatomy

If you think choosing a college major is hard,

wait until you have to choose your medical specialty.

How late were you up researching treatments for that patient?

- Late. -You need sleep.

I'll get right on that.

You have no idea how many emails you get

until you come back from a three-month sabbatical.

Delete all.

Wait. What if some of those are important?

I'm practicing healthy boundaries.

If they need me, they can pick up the phone.

It's not just what medicine you'll practice,

it's your whole life.

Hey, should I pull the drains on Mr. Sherwood before we round?

Uh, no, Adams can do that.

Um, Toni Wright is down a resident,

so I took the liberty of moving you to her service.

I hope that's okay.

-Dr. Toni Wright? -Yeah.

NIH grant recipient for research on myofibroblasts for wound healing,

-pioneer in lymphedema, Dr. Toni Wright? - Oh.

Yes.

-Okay, yeah. I may have read up on her. -

-Play it cool. -Yeah, I gotta go prep.

- Ben Warren? -Hey, hey, hey. Come on. I...

Look, I was born cool.

Uh, okay.

Oh, my God.

-I'm playing. I'm playing. -

Who you'll work with,

whether you'll be home in time for dinner or never see your kids.

I love how they think we have time to go to the doctor.

Last year, I had a dental student pull one of my teeth in the cath lab.

Have you considered egg freezing?

Have I considered giving myself a series of shots and screwing up my hormones

and then going through an uncomfortable procedure

and then paying forever to store my eggs in a freezer

on the chance that I might want kids?

You could have just said, "No."

I might do it. I wanna keep my options open.

Why do they need to know when your mom had her first period?

Oh. I hope they don't,

-'cause I have no idea and no way to ask. - Oh, smoothies.

The choice is yours, and so are the consequences.

-Hey. -Hey.

Hey, so my lawyer wanted to check in.

I still haven't received any papers to sign.

Yeah, I still have them.

Your lawyer mentioned wanting to file before the end of the month.

I-I just... I-I've been slammed with work.

If we don't do it soon, they're gonna make us pay additional retainers.

- -I am aware. I'm... I'm sorry.

I-I have a consult, but I will... I will get to them as soon as I can.

Okay.

Dr. Morales to the ICU. Dr. Martha Morales to the ICU.

-Dr. Wright, Ben Warren. -Hey.

-Thrilled to be on your service. -Nice to meet you.

Benson, back on my service again?

Yeah, I can't get enough, and people call me Blue.

-After the Joni Mitchell album? -No.

Oh. Well, that's too bad. It's one of the all-time greats.

I applied to three colleges in California solely because I thought it'd be cool

to sing that line about coming home there and literally mean it.

Do either of you play guitar?

-Um, not really. -A little.

-Well... -Um...

Uh, listen, um, feel free to push me. You know, I like to work hard,

and I'm actually applying for a plastics fellowship.

Good for you.

You should have told her you play guitar.

Five minutes to answer a page? Patient could have died in that time.

-Did somebody die? -That's irrelevant.

-What do we got? -Randall Lutton, 62.

He has scrotal swelling and severe pain after blunt trauma.

BP is slightly elevated. Gave two of morphine en route.

Oh, God, it hurts like hell.

Yeah, we're gonna get you more inside, okay?

I got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night

and walked right into the dresser.

I'm gonna need an ultrasound and some gel.

Are you a doctor?

Urologist.

No need to comment on the irony.

-Okay. Let's get him to trauma one. -

Hey, Corban, just double-checking you're getting your IV antibiotics

before rounds with Dr. Altman.

Um, do you think you could slip me the staff Wi-Fi password?

I know the guest Wi-Fi is spotty,

but ours is used for things like imaging and staff messaging,

so they're pretty strict about it.

Well, could you make an exception?

I just... I really want to see my cousin get married in Big Sur today.

Second cousin, second marriage, and he's not that great.

You didn't get it from me.

Thank you.

Somehow, I am always in the hospital for my friends' and family's big life events.

This is his second aortic graft to get infected in a year.

No offense to Dr. Altman,

but if this one doesn't take, we need a second opinion.

Well, Dr. Altman's extremely skilled.

She's even kind of famous now. She invented a new surgery.

Yeah, but like a difficult one?

Don't look at me like that.

I already know I'm becoming Mom.

- -Surgery's incredibly complicated.

She's on a podcast. You can look it up.

Told you. I just have bad luck.

Well, hopefully the new TEVAR gives your aorta a break

so the antibiotics can do their job.

That's what you said last time.

I'll be back soon.

Dr. Miley Tokugawa to the ER.

Welcome back, Dr. Shepherd.

Have you met our new plastics attending, Dr. Toni Wright?

Relatively new. Nice to meet you.

We should get started. It's a LeFort fracture.

I'm sure there will be questions.

-Did you see that? -Uh, yes. Um, yeah, I don't know.

I don't think she remembers me.

Should she?

We went to med school together. We were in the same study group.

She hated me.

Oh, well, maybe it's better she doesn't remember.

Teresa Daniels, 49, post-op day five from a hemicraniectomy for subdural hematoma

after auto versus pedestrian.

Concomitant LeFort I fractures.

Please say you're fixing my mom's face today.

Well, that's up to Dr. Shepherd.

She'll tell us if your mom's head bleed has healed enough for us to proceed.

I'll do a neuro exam on her now and make sure the EVD's working.

So, uh, what are you studying?

Uh, data science.

I was going to major in it, but the intro course is hard.

- -I'm a freshman at UC Davis.

Do you have a study group?

-I haven't found the right people. -Oh.

-Does make a big difference. - My mom says to stick with it.

I was complaining to her about it on the phone

when she got hit by that idiot driver.

That's awful. I'm so sorry.

She'll be happy to see you when she wakes up.

ICP is 12 and subdural is stable.

Great. So we're good to go.

Let's order a CT max/face before bringing her to the OR.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

How was Cousin Frank's wedding? Were you able to stream it?

Still no contractions?

- Don't jinx it. -

-Okay. -Uh, Dr. Meade.

Corban Gregory, 28-year-old male.

Status, post-coarctation repair when he was two.

He subsequently had two graft repairs, both became infected.

Has now developed a pseudoaneurysm

and is here today for his second TEVAR.

-You made somebody a new aorta? -

He's stalking you online. I told him it was weird.

And it said that the patient had two repeat graft infections too.

-Can I get this? -A TEVAR is still a solution for you.

It's less invasive and less risky.

For me or for you?

Corban, the patient that you're reading about was much sicker.

I don't want another Band-Aid if there's a permanent fix.

I don't want to diminish what you're going through, but--

You think you know what I'm going through?

My favorite thing is running,

but I can't remember the last time I had a runner's high.

I won't be able to lift my baby nephew.

I can't travel. I can't visit my friends.

I have spent more time in the CCU than my own house in the last year.

Is that not sick enough for you?

What, you just don't care?

That's not true.

Then why won't you fix me?

I wish there was an easy fix.

Just get out.

Get out!

Okay.

It's a larger patient load than usual,

but with two of you...

Adams, please tell me that you were at the benefits fair

or rounding or anything but late.

Sorry, I was on the phone with Boise General.

They don't have Katie Rogers's immunotherapy either.

Well, the government cut off funding. You're not going to find it.

Okay, what about cytoreduction surgery with HIPEC?

What about it?

Well, could Katie be a candidate for it?

-I-I emailed you the case report. -

Okay, no. I appreciate your initiative, and I will look at it.

But right now, I need you to focus on patients

-that are currently admitted to the hospital. -Okay.

We're down two residents due to illness and a family wedding,

so I need you and Spencer to get started on the floor, okay?

Ms. Hayes needs a Dobhoff tube for tube feeds.

Ooh. Well, I've never inserted an NG tube on a real person

o-or a fake one, so...

Well, um, Adams will help you.

-Don't forget to check your email. -I...

Just keep taking deep breaths.

New pain medication should kick in any second.
