The Resident

Previously, on "The Resident"...

I think we should

dig into Dr. Bosley's patient outcomes and...

give Ms. Benesch a fair hearing.

Let's just simmer down.

Just watch

and learn how we operate.

I-I think I'm getting a pretty good sense of how you operate.

Are you looking for a financial settlement?

No. I'm looking for accountability.

I did not have to end up like this.

I don't want future patients of Dr. Bosley to, either.

I want the board to do something.

- Will they? - Honestly, probably not.

But I will do something.

So what's happening in the world?

I'm not reading the news.

I'm watching a video of a bulldog

failing to eat its kibble.

Okay.

Slow news day.

What's going on with your leg?

Oh, I guess it slept in.

Could be an MS flare-up.

I'll email Dr. Greer, see if she can fit you in today.

Yeah, well, early is better.

I have a 10:00 with Abernathy,

the head of the medical board,

'cause I found more complaints against Bosley,

the neurosurgeon who paralyzed Emily Benesch.

Do you think you have enough to convince the board

to look into Bosley now?

I'm not gonna give 'em any choice.

You know, this whole moral crusader thing

looks good on you.

It's very...

super hero-y.

You should see me in spandex.

Well, that's ruined it.

Can I help you?

You look familiar, but I can't place you.

Are you gonna harass me every time I have an ER shift?

Yes.

You know, please look into your abandonment issues.

You know my father left me at Yankee Stadium and got home

with my brother before he realized I was missing.

I'm sorry I triggered you, Irving.

You don't care. Where's Leela?

Sister day with Padma.

Bonding over the gifting of eggs.

Level-1 trauma coming in!

Bay 11's ready.

Eliza Brock ton. 32-year-old female.

Status post-fall from her sixth-floor apartment building.

BP 120/68, tachy to 100,

satting at 98%.

Trauma survey.

Pupils equal and reactive.

Airway's intact.

- Good breath sounds bilaterally. - Pulse strong.

Vitals stable. I'll get labs.

I'll do a FAST exam and put in for a chest X-ray.

Eliza,

how did you fall from your apartment building?

I-I was, um...

I was hanging a-an orchid on my balcony,

and I-I reached too far over the railing and I just...

lost my balance.

Thank God the entry awning broke my fall.

Well, we're gonna get that chest X-ray

and CT scan to check for head trauma.

We'll be back, okay?

- Uh, okay. - All right, hang tight.

You want to get her records and I'll arrange the CT?

Yeah.

What is it?

Eliza's attempted suicide three times

in the past six years.

Let's get a psych consult down here.

Eliza.

Hundley.

My patient eloped from 11. Call the code.

Excuse me.

Attention, staff. Code Green.

32-year-old Caucasian female.

Dark hair, blue eyes. Code Green.

Eliza!

Eliza!

Wait!

Eliza!

*THE RESIDENT* Season 05 Episode 16

Episode Title: "6 Volts" Aired on: March 29, 2022.

You all right?

I'm fine.

Eliza's stable.

Scans were negative. BP was borderline,

so we placed an A-line.

And Psych is en route.

That was a very brave thing you did, Dr. Pravesh.

I'm just glad we got to her in time.

Mm-hmm.

We're good.

So...

I guess the truth is out.

I don't want this anymore.

And I wish you would just mind your own business and let me go.

You know we can't do that.

This is Dr. Malco.

She's from the psychiatry department.

Hi, Eliza.

I'm guessing you know the drill here.

I'm gonna ask you a few questions.

You have my file.

So you could just read my old answers.

My new answers are all the same.

I'm out of words.

I imagine that must be very difficult for a writer.

To be out of words.

I'm out of everything.

I want you to know,

both of your books have informed the way I treat depression.

I'd like to return the favor.

Do you have a gun?

We're gonna keep you on a 36-hour hold.

Dear merciful Father,

we ask for Your blessings on Daisy.

She needs You.

We're asking that You grant her the patience to...

help her with her affliction

and the freedom from her pain.

And lead her out the shadow of the valley

so that we can heal her body and spirit.

Now let's go get you a damn kidney, huh?

- Amen. - Amen.

Ah...

Aaron, it is good to see you.

Yeah, it's been a minute.

You know we've had our own conversations about pain.

Mm.

How are you and Gigi holding up?

Yeah, really well.

Gigi's definitely my greatest achievement so far.

You got that right.

Yeah.

Speaking of our past conversations,

the last few days, I've...

been...

Back in the fresh grief of Nic's passing,

I-I guess. I don't...

Uh, I don't know what set it off.

Ah, well, if it isn't Pastor Aaron, my favorite clergyman.

AJ, my big bad Buddhist, you.

- Hey. - How are you?

How's your mother?

She is as well as she can be.

The cancer is progressing.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I-I'll definitely have to go see her.

Well, you see, her palliative care is top-tier, right?

But she's gonna need to transition

to hospice sooner rather than later,

and she is not keen on the idea.

So I was thinking maybe you can help me

have that conversation with her when it's time.

I'll be happy to.

Appreciate it, man.

I have a favor of my own to ask you two.

Yeah. Anything.

Recently, I had a heart stent placed a few months back.

A fit young dude like you?

They found some blockage. Now, the doctor told me

that I should be feeling better,

but I've been having a lot of chest pain lately.

Ah, say no more. AJ and I will take a look at you in the ER.

Better safe than sorry.

Let's go now.

Head scans are good.

- Nothing to worry about. - Great.

But the leg issue is a little MS flare-up.

No biggie. This will happen from time to time.

Well, I'm glad we checked, then.

We'll put you on a short course of steroids

that should improve your symptoms.

In the meantime, take the pressure

- off your leg with this. - Oh.

No. That is... uh, won't be necessary.

It's only for a few days.

The last thing we want is for you to stumble

- and hit your head. - Randolph,

- take the cane. - No, it's...

It starts with a cane, and then it goes

to adult diapers and a chairlift to get up the stairs.

It's a concession to the disease, and I won't make it.

Good Lord, Randolph. Typical man.

You can dress it as bravery, but it's just vanity.

Okay. Uh, I'd love to stick around

and talk about canes and men,

but... I have an important meeting to get to.

So, Meghan, thank you.

I remember
