1
00:00:24,649 --> 00:00:29,529
<i>Alright, let me get
Liver Transplant on the line for you.</i>

2
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:32,365
<i>Hello, doctor.
Why don't you tell us about the patient?</i>

3
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:34,659
<i>She comes
for fatigue and jaundice.</i>

4
00:00:34,659 --> 00:00:37,245
<i>She turned yellow</i>,
<i>and she came into the hospital.</i>

5
00:00:37,787 --> 00:00:39,831
<i>You're thinking autoimmune here?</i>

6
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:43,376
<i>Yeah, I think it's autoimmune.
And now she's doing worse.</i>

7
00:00:43,376 --> 00:00:47,547
Guys, this is an emergency meeting
of the transplant listing group

8
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:51,009
{\an8}because this young lady
is getting much sicker.

9
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:53,553
{\an8}She has acute liver failure, autoimmune.

10
00:00:53,553 --> 00:00:57,265
Is everyone in favor
of making this patient a status one?

11
00:00:57,265 --> 00:00:58,266
<i>Absolutely.</i>

12
00:00:58,266 --> 00:01:02,145
<i>So the patient is now status one,
that's the highest status in the country.</i>

13
00:01:02,145 --> 00:01:05,857
<i>Starting from right now,
we're going to be looking for a liver.</i>

14
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:09,652
<i>And what happens to someone
who suddenly gets a hit to the liver,</i>

15
00:01:09,652 --> 00:01:11,738
<i>there's no means of compensating.</i>

16
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:13,990
<i>They begin to get confused.</i>

17
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:16,993
<i>She will eventually not know her name.</i>

18
00:01:16,993 --> 00:01:20,413
<i>She's a fourth grade teacher,
and she has two young kids.</i>

19
00:01:20,997 --> 00:01:23,583
-  What are your kids' names?
- Mia and Taylor.

20
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:25,001
{\an8} How old are they?

21
00:01:25,001 --> 00:01:28,421
{\an8}Uh... seven and...

22
00:01:30,507 --> 00:01:32,425
Okay. That's okay.

23
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:36,471
<i>Soon she won't be able to speak,
and then she'll need to get intubated.</i>

24
00:01:36,471 --> 00:01:40,058
<i>This is the natural course
of liver failure.</i>

25
00:01:40,058 --> 00:01:41,559
<i>It's a rush, it's a race.</i>

26
00:01:41,559 --> 00:01:44,312
<i>If there's no organ available
in the next 48-72 hours,</i>

27
00:01:44,312 --> 00:01:46,356
<i>she will lose and she'll go to God.</i>

28
00:01:46,356 --> 00:01:48,691
- We're going to find you a good liver.
- Thank you.

29
00:01:48,691 --> 00:01:52,278
- First one to pop up will be hers.
-  Let's just find an organ.

30
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:18,179
{\an8}Button your jacket. Fix your collar.

31
00:02:20,723 --> 00:02:21,558
Okay.

32
00:02:21,558 --> 00:02:24,185
- Thank you.
-  Alright, you're fine. Let's go.

33
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:29,232
Beautiful day.

34
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:33,319
Subway's packed, restaurants are busy.

35
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:34,821
Things are looking up.

36
00:02:35,738 --> 00:02:36,990
Finally.

37
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:40,493
- Oh, there he is.
-  How are you?

38
00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:43,788
-  Thank you so much.
- My pleasure, good to see both of you.

39
00:02:43,788 --> 00:02:45,290
And how was the drive up?

40
00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:48,001
It was good, very nice.
They wouldn't let me drive.

41
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:50,003
- I drive too fast.

42
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:52,589
We're really blessed to be back here.
I'm really lucky.

43
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:55,592
-  I want to show you some pictures.
- Okay.

44
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:59,262
{\an8}So, obviously, when I'm looking
at you from the side here.

45
00:02:59,262 --> 00:03:02,599
Dad, you can see that
this is the side view.

46
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:03,516
Mm-hmm.

47
00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:06,352
-  And this is the growth.
- Wow.

48
00:03:06,352 --> 00:03:08,021
-  Can I touch?
-  Of course.

49
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:09,939
It's this right here.

50
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,486
You see in the middle here where it's red,
worn down, and starting to get infected?

51
00:03:15,486 --> 00:03:16,821
That's the issue.

52
00:03:16,821 --> 00:03:19,866
<i>This became really an emergency.</i>

53
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:24,871
{\an8}<i>The mass is growing so quickly</i>,
<i>it's starting to erode through his scalp,</i>

54
00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:27,540
{\an8}<i>so I made him drive up from Kentucky
over the weekend.</i>

55
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:29,375
{\an8}<i>This is all cancer.</i>

56
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:32,587
{\an8}<i>What's fascinating
and difficult about his case</i>

57
00:03:32,587 --> 00:03:34,923
{\an8}<i>is that it's actually
metastasized to the lung.</i>

58
00:03:34,923 --> 00:03:36,591
<i>That is a reportable event,</i>

59
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:39,636
<i>meaning that it happens so infrequently
where it leaves the brain.</i>

60
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,347
So, we're going to take all this,

61
00:03:42,347 --> 00:03:45,308
and then we're going to go in
and take out the tumor in the brain.

62
00:03:45,308 --> 00:03:46,226
Awesome.

63
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:48,394
I know you're going to ask,
what about the lung?

64
00:03:48,394 --> 00:03:50,772
We're going to deal with that
after we get a PET scan.

65
00:03:50,772 --> 00:03:52,899
- Remember we talked about that?
-  Yeah.

66
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:55,485
I feel really confident
to be here with you guys.

67
00:03:55,485 --> 00:03:57,195
I'm so glad we made this decision.

68
00:03:57,195 --> 00:04:00,198
We appreciate your trust,
and we treat 'em like our own.

69
00:04:00,198 --> 00:04:03,201
-  Exactly.
- We'll keep him out of harm's way.

70
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:07,413
What a spirit. His whole family,
to have that kind of optimism.

71
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:09,624
I told him to come,
he's like, "We're on our way."

72
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:15,421
I mean, incredible courage, and hopefully
he's got a life in front of him.

73
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:17,298
And you're really nervous.

74
00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:19,676
Thank you so much for being here.

75
00:04:19,676 --> 00:04:22,595
I wouldn't have it any other way.

76
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:33,564
-  What are you doing this weekend?
- Sleeping.

77
00:04:33,564 --> 00:04:35,441
I told you.

78
00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:38,403
{\an8}- I'm taking a mental health day.
- Because of the vaccine?

79
00:04:38,403 --> 00:04:41,155
{\an8}- Yeah, my body needs to recuperate.
- I can't with you.

80
00:04:41,155 --> 00:04:43,825
My biggest thing is sleep.
I don't sleep enough.

81
00:04:43,825 --> 00:04:48,663
What I try to do is no matter what,
no matter what,

82
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:53,209
I'm going home, take a shower,
and get in my pajamas, and get in bed.

83
00:04:53,209 --> 00:04:54,168
Mm-hmm.

84
00:04:54,168 --> 00:04:57,005
If you wanna talk,
come talk to me in my bed.

85
00:04:57,922 --> 00:05:00,675
If you want an excuse to be out--
and look...

86
00:05:00,675 --> 00:05:03,845
-  <i>Can you respond to emergency--</i>
- Head injury.

87
00:05:06,889 --> 00:05:08,433
A couple of blocks down, right?

88
00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:24,324
Over there.

89
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:31,789
Where's the kid? Damn.

90
00:05:31,789 --> 00:05:36,002
- Oh, he's crying.
- Oh no, there's another kid, Kristina.

91
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:39,130
He has a big hematoma
on his head.

92
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:42,008
Are you good? Be careful getting out.
Put your mask on, okay?

93
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:43,092
Yeah.

94
00:05:45,094 --> 00:05:48,056
No, you don't move.
I want you to sit. Look at me.

95
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:51,642
I want you to sit and don't move, okay?
You're doing a great job.

96
00:05:52,435 --> 00:05:54,645
Okay, what school do you go to?

97
00:05:54,645 --> 00:05:57,315
They're having symptoms?
Call another bus then.

98
00:05:57,315 --> 00:05:58,691
We need three busses.

99
00:05:58,691 --> 00:06:02,904
Requesting two additional busses,
BLS to location. Two additional patients.

100
00:06:02,904 --> 00:06:06,115
-  They're here, Kris. They're here.
-  Alright, sit down.

101
00:06:06,115 --> 00:06:08,201
Try to calm down, okay?

102
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,620
Don't worry, we got you.

103
00:06:13,122 --> 00:06:14,832
Can you call the parent?

104
00:06:14,832 --> 00:06:16,209
I got you.

105
00:06:17,502 --> 00:06:19,545
Vicky, I need the blood pressure.

106
00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:23,091
-  Okay.
-  We gotta go.

107
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:27,178
He has to go to the trauma center now.
Now. We gotta get off the scene.

108
00:06:28,846 --> 00:06:30,431
Yeah, can we check out right away?

109
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:36,896
Squeeze my hand, sweetie,
can you squeeze?

110
00:06:37,563 --> 00:06:41,567
You okay? Does this hurt right here?
Does this hurt down here?

111
00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:51,119
{\an8}Every day, I've started my life before
5:30 in the morning for 20 years almost.

112
00:06:51,119 --> 00:06:53,621
And when I was in training,
it was 4:00 in the morning.

113
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:56,290
But I drink my, uh, Cuban coffee,

114
00:06:57,792 --> 00:06:59,252
and I get going.

115
00:07:05,675 --> 00:07:08,136
I can't remember.
What name did you give her?

116
00:07:08,136 --> 00:07:10,179
- Did you guys pick a name for her?
- Elliana.

117
00:07:10,179 --> 00:07:12,056
Elliana? Okay.

118
00:07:12,056 --> 00:07:14,183
So, I'm going to talk to the team,

119
00:07:14,183 --> 00:07:17,270
and we are going to look over
her medical information,

120
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:19,522
and then we will be
heading out to the OR, okay?

121
00:07:19,522 --> 00:07:21,732
So, we're gonna make
a final decision,

122
00:07:21,732 --> 00:07:24,735
but I think we're gonna go
with the right thoracotomy, and then...

123
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:28,781
There's a good chance we'll use a patch,
depending on the size of the defect.

124
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:30,616
And we're not gonna use the scope.

125
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:33,286
We're gonna do it straight open,
based on the size of the baby.

126
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:34,412
Okay.

127
00:07:37,498 --> 00:07:39,459
We're gonna fix a diaphragmatic hernia

128
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:42,753
in a tiny preemie baby
that weighs four pounds,

129
00:07:43,337 --> 00:07:45,256
who is less than a week old.

130
00:07:45,965 --> 00:07:49,427
It was not clear it was going to survive,
uh, when this was found.

131
00:07:49,427 --> 00:07:52,263
The baby was found to have
a hole in the diaphragm,

132
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:54,474
before being born, in an ultrasound.

133
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:57,810
I'm seeing quite a bit of the liver
here in the chest,

134
00:07:57,810 --> 00:08:01,814
and all of the intestines
here in these gray holes.

135
00:08:01,814 --> 00:08:06,068
And the heart has been pushed completely
out of the chest to the other side.

136
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:11,199
So our job today is going to be
to push all of this back into the belly

137
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:15,703
and give the heart and the lungs the room
they need to live and function,

138
00:08:15,703 --> 00:08:19,081
so that we can get to some day
seeing her at her wedding.

139
00:08:19,957 --> 00:08:23,002
Say, "Bye, Mommy, Daddy. Be back soon."

140
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:26,839
See you soon, okay?

141
00:08:35,765 --> 00:08:40,645
Medic 99. Trauma notification TBD,
ETA is eight minutes.

142
00:08:40,645 --> 00:08:45,107
I have an 11-year-old male
with a head injury, secondary to an MVA.

143
00:08:45,107 --> 00:08:49,362
He has a large frontal lobe hematoma.

144
00:08:49,362 --> 00:08:52,698
He appears lethargic
but is alert and oriented.

145
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:54,700
Let me see your bump.

146
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,577
You gotta keep your eyes open.

147
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,000
He's... He's not, like, alert.

148
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,502
Like...

149
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:09,131
We think that, you know,
he needs immediate care.

150
00:09:16,597 --> 00:09:22,853
It's a kid, and you want to make them
feel safe, and it's scary for them.

151
00:09:22,853 --> 00:09:26,107
All this is like chaos in their head,

152
00:09:26,107 --> 00:09:29,819
so we always, you know,
try to keep them calm,

153
00:09:29,819 --> 00:09:33,573
but it doesn't matter how much
you explain the situation to them,

154
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:37,952
they're not going to be okay with
all the sirens and police and people,

155
00:09:37,952 --> 00:09:39,453
strangers coming up to them.

156
00:09:40,705 --> 00:09:43,165
I'm trying to get there safe,

157
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:46,544
and hopefully, you know,
he's going to be okay.

158
00:09:50,172 --> 00:09:53,551
You gotta try to stay awake because
you might have a concussion, okay?

159
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:55,928
You gotta keep your eyes open.

160
00:09:57,179 --> 00:09:58,889
You're doing good, you're alright.

161
00:10:10,151 --> 00:10:13,904
{\an8} Jennifer went into coma
as a result of fulminant liver failure,

162
00:10:13,904 --> 00:10:16,574
{\an8}where your liver
just shuts off and stops working.

163
00:10:16,574 --> 00:10:19,535
She's on the operating room table
right now.

164
00:10:19,535 --> 00:10:25,875
{\an8}If you cannot transplant her fast enough,
then pressure will build up in her head,

165
00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:28,878
and her brain can herniate
out of her skull,

166
00:10:28,878 --> 00:10:30,921
and patients don't recover from that.

167
00:10:30,921 --> 00:10:35,051
They either have lifelong brain damage,
or more likely they just die.

168
00:10:38,596 --> 00:10:40,139
Luckily, we found a liver.

169
00:10:40,765 --> 00:10:45,394
And the clock has really already started,
and it's a race against time.

170
00:10:47,688 --> 00:10:49,357
- Have a good day.
- Thank you.

171
00:10:52,526 --> 00:10:56,030
We're going to another state
to bring an organ back.

172
00:10:56,781 --> 00:10:59,241
{\an8}There's never a good donor story.

173
00:10:59,241 --> 00:11:02,578
{\an8}It's always somebody
that unfortunately, in this case,

174
00:11:02,578 --> 00:11:05,998
it's somebody that, unfortunately,
that-- that is brain dead.

175
00:11:05,998 --> 00:11:09,502
And the family was courageous

176
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:13,839
and caring enough to say that they
want to donate organs to somebody else.

177
00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:18,844
{\an8} This lady's sick. She just
went down the tubes quickly.

178
00:11:18,844 --> 00:11:24,308
Yeah. Now, the percentage
of donors under age 35

179
00:11:24,308 --> 00:11:29,897
who are narcotics is 75%?
I mean, it's way more than trauma.

180
00:11:29,897 --> 00:11:33,693
People been home,
and drugs, alcohol definitely on the up.

181
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:34,610
Yeah.

182
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:37,905
So, you know,
we make triumph out of adversity.

183
00:11:45,496 --> 00:11:49,709
When you talk about the brain,
it's fixed in a rigid skull.

184
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:54,213
This is a box.
And we have a very simple rule.

185
00:11:54,213 --> 00:11:56,549
There's only really
three things in the box.

186
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:59,135
Spinal fluid, brain, and blood.

187
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:02,638
And if any one of those increase
in any way,

188
00:12:02,638 --> 00:12:04,306
you're still in this fixed box.

189
00:12:04,306 --> 00:12:05,433
Good morning.

190
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:07,893
Brain tumors, in general,
tend to be urgent,

191
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:12,440
meaning that those patients are
under extremis, they're under pressure.

192
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,277
We have to take that tumor out because
they may be having pressure in the brain,

193
00:12:16,277 --> 00:12:20,531
and the urgency is making sure
that patient starts treatment right away.

194
00:12:20,531 --> 00:12:21,449
Dr. Dennis.

195
00:12:21,949 --> 00:12:23,909
Boockvar, pleasure, as always.

196
00:12:23,909 --> 00:12:25,995
-  My man.
-  Looking good.

197
00:12:25,995 --> 00:12:28,622
-  How was your night?
- It was good, yeah, got some rest.

198
00:12:28,622 --> 00:12:32,752
- Slept, meditated a lot, feeling good.
- What do you do for meditation?

199
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:36,589
Um, well, I do Qigong when I have time
to kind of do the movements.

200
00:12:36,589 --> 00:12:42,678
Um, I do have breathing exercises,
I pray a little bit, and things like that.

201
00:12:42,678 --> 00:12:46,223
Well, we'll be doing
some mindfulness in the operating room.

202
00:12:46,223 --> 00:12:48,184
We do it right before every case, so...

203
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:50,811
- Oh, I appreciate that.
- ...we'll give you an extra mindful moment.

204
00:12:50,811 --> 00:12:52,188
I appreciate that so much.

205
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,356
You got the whole world
praying for you, Marcos, today.

206
00:12:54,356 --> 00:12:56,192
- I appreciate that.
- Okay.

207
00:13:00,571 --> 00:13:03,699
This is for Marcos. He'll appreciate this.

208
00:13:20,841 --> 00:13:22,927
-  Really nice guy.
-  The nicest.

209
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:25,262
Does all the right things,

210
00:13:25,262 --> 00:13:30,851
and gets perhaps
the worst of human cancers that exist.

211
00:13:30,851 --> 00:13:32,269
Just terrible.

212
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:48,077
I just don't understand why.
Guns is very dangerous.

213
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:51,622
{\an8}You know.

214
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:54,625
{\an8}This is what they can do to you, you know?

215
00:13:57,294 --> 00:13:59,129
He was with friends.

216
00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:01,674
To my knowledge, it was a gathering.

217
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:05,886
Still have no information,
if it's just a drive-by...

218
00:14:06,887 --> 00:14:08,722
It's all I know at this moment.

219
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:15,563
If you can help take care of Josh,
I can introduce you to the mom too.

220
00:14:15,563 --> 00:14:16,647
Yep, yep.

221
00:14:16,647 --> 00:14:18,858
So he's got multiple gunshots,

222
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:22,528
was initially stabilized,
and has an open abdomen.

223
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:25,531
Maybe he's ready for closure.
If not, you can take a look.

224
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,741
If you need me,
just let me know and I can pop over.

225
00:14:27,741 --> 00:14:28,659
Okay.

226
00:14:30,661 --> 00:14:32,162
Charlotte, you think we're good?

227
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:34,748
Yeah. He's already sedated.

228
00:14:34,748 --> 00:14:37,042
Okay. I'll just talk to the mom.

229
00:14:37,835 --> 00:14:41,839
{\an8}Hi, Mom. The plan is to open up
the abdomen that's already open,

230
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:45,926
{\an8}but take off the dressing, wash out
all the blood, look at the stomach,

231
00:14:45,926 --> 00:14:49,847
the liver, the diaphragm,
make sure the repairs are all intact.

232
00:14:49,847 --> 00:14:52,099
If there's any extra bleeding,
take care of it,

233
00:14:52,099 --> 00:14:56,103
because we do know there's blood
coming out of the drain from the belly,

234
00:14:56,103 --> 00:14:58,522
so we want to make sure
we're not missing anything,

235
00:14:58,522 --> 00:15:00,357
and then reapply that dressing.

236
00:15:00,983 --> 00:15:04,778
He's gonna pull through. We're seeing
crazy amounts of firearm injury

237
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:08,616
you know, throughout the city,
so he's gonna pull through.

238
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:12,661
-  He's a fighter.
-  He is, he is.

239
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:14,830
We'll take good care of him.

240
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:20,002
<i>Joshua suffered multiple gunshots.</i>

241
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:23,380
<i>And he's now fighting for his life.</i>

242
00:15:23,380 --> 00:15:25,674
<i>A lot of these bullets
don't remain in the body,</i>

243
00:15:25,674 --> 00:15:28,427
<i>they kind of hit all your organs
and then exit.</i>

244
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:30,220
<i>That's typically what we see.</i>

245
00:15:31,055 --> 00:15:33,390
<i>How do you live in a society</i>

246
00:15:33,390 --> 00:15:36,727
<i>where you're at constant risk
for this type of violence?</i>

247
00:15:36,727 --> 00:15:39,605
There's a bullet wound
here and here, right?

248
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:42,107
This is where the injury
to the diaphragm happened,

249
00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:44,985
the spleen, liver, stomach.

250
00:15:44,985 --> 00:15:48,072
Multiple bullet wounds
everywhere else as well.

251
00:15:52,868 --> 00:15:57,539
They're too infected, no?
They're too infected.

252
00:16:02,836 --> 00:16:06,966
<i>When we brought the kid to the ER,
his mother was waiting there for him.</i>

253
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,636
<i>That immediately made him feel better.</i>

254
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:13,889
<i>When you go back to the ambulance,
you get ready for the next call,</i>

255
00:16:13,889 --> 00:16:18,018
<i>but then you're always thinking about,
"I wonder what happened to that patient."</i>

256
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:22,481
<i>We don't get to see the results,
like if they went home.</i>

257
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:27,528
<i>When it comes to kids, you know,
it's always a difficult call.</i>

258
00:16:28,362 --> 00:16:29,822
<i>They're so vulnerable.</i>

259
00:16:30,656 --> 00:16:33,701
<i>It always touches, you know,
like, a part of your heart.</i>

260
00:16:35,744 --> 00:16:36,870
<i>Especially now.</i>

261
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,631
- You look really pale, are you okay?
- I'm okay.

262
00:16:47,631 --> 00:16:49,675
You better tell me if you're not okay.

263
00:16:49,675 --> 00:16:52,803
I'm okay. Just, I feel like you just want
to start an IV on me.

264
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:56,557
I do.
I just wanna hydrate you real quick.

265
00:16:56,557 --> 00:16:57,933
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

266
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:02,354
<i>Dispatch to air transport.</i>

267
00:17:02,354 --> 00:17:05,065
<i>North Shore University Transplant Team
is airborne.</i>

268
00:17:05,065 --> 00:17:07,359
<i>Flight time one hour, 11 minutes. Over.</i>

269
00:17:11,613 --> 00:17:15,451
Right now, it's just
trying to approximate the timing.

270
00:17:15,451 --> 00:17:18,871
We don't want to do anything
with our patient that's getting the liver

271
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:21,623
until we see the liver
to make sure it's suitable.

272
00:17:22,499 --> 00:17:25,252
With a liver, we can go 14 hours.

273
00:17:25,252 --> 00:17:26,920
We prefer it less than 10.

274
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,133
It works better the faster it gets in
and it gets reperfused with blood.

275
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:34,219
We're going to get the liver.

276
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:39,349
There's going to be someone
taking the heart, pancreas, and kidneys.

277
00:17:39,349 --> 00:17:43,771
So, there should be three teams there
all working together to get the organs.

278
00:17:43,771 --> 00:17:48,817
But we're each going to do our own thing,
so we won't get in each other's way.

279
00:17:48,817 --> 00:17:52,112
We're talking about
an hour-and-twenty-minute flight,

280
00:17:52,112 --> 00:17:56,075
plus driving to the hospital,
and then getting back to our hospital.

281
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:58,368
So these are all the time constraints

282
00:17:58,368 --> 00:18:02,247
that we have to try to minimize as much
as we can, whatever we can control.

283
00:18:08,837 --> 00:18:12,549
It's happened a few times where we land
and there's no transportation.

284
00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:15,928
That's why there always has to be
coordination with the coordinator

285
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:18,138
to make sure that everything's good.

286
00:18:20,307 --> 00:18:22,976
- They took us to the wrong airport.
-  What's up?

287
00:18:22,976 --> 00:18:26,313
Anyone knows
how long to go from here to the hospital?

288
00:18:26,313 --> 00:18:28,690
- I wouldn't know.
- We'll ask the ambulance.

289
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:33,695
Hey. Our OR is a little delayed,
till 12:30 now.

290
00:18:34,404 --> 00:18:37,116
{\an8}<i>Guess one of the other teams
had a delay in getting here,</i>

291
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:38,784
{\an8}<i>-so I'll keep you updated.</i>
- Okay.

292
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:41,203
{\an8} One of the problems
when working with so many teams,

293
00:18:41,203 --> 00:18:42,621
times get affected.

294
00:18:46,291 --> 00:18:49,336
{\an8} Unlike kidney failure
where there's dialysis,

295
00:18:49,336 --> 00:18:51,672
{\an8}there's no such thing as liver dialysis,

296
00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:55,467
{\an8}and there's no replacement for a liver
other than a liver transplant.

297
00:18:57,845 --> 00:19:01,056
So, Miss Perez is in hepatic coma,

298
00:19:01,056 --> 00:19:04,184
and you can't be in hepatic coma
for that long.

299
00:19:04,184 --> 00:19:06,145
Guys, we have incised.

300
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,646
Suction over here to me.

301
00:19:09,064 --> 00:19:10,774
-  She's a bleeder.
-  Mm-hmm.

302
00:19:10,774 --> 00:19:12,067
She dumped a lot.

303
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:14,695
She can herniate her brain.

304
00:19:24,913 --> 00:19:26,999
Do we have
smaller patches than this?

305
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:30,127
So we want
the one millimeter thickness, we think?

306
00:19:30,127 --> 00:19:32,421
-  I think for a 1.8 kilo preemie.
-  Yeah.

307
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:40,262
The hole we're going
to try to fix relative to the baby is big,

308
00:19:40,262 --> 00:19:43,015
but in the real world
it's a tiny little opening.

309
00:19:43,515 --> 00:19:47,436
There's going to be teamwork between
the anesthesiologist and surgical team,

310
00:19:47,436 --> 00:19:50,856
'cause we're pushing on the heart,
the lung, pushing on the liver.

311
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:53,483
All of that can affect
the circulatory system

312
00:19:53,483 --> 00:19:55,903
and really put the baby's life at risk.

313
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:01,617
So I need to do something
with his little arm still.

314
00:20:02,951 --> 00:20:07,164
We're going to open up here,
the chest, to be able to torque the liver,

315
00:20:07,164 --> 00:20:09,708
which we think is up here,
down towards the belly.

316
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:12,127
There's no liver in here right now.

317
00:20:12,127 --> 00:20:14,630
This is one of the things
about a surgery like this.

318
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:20,010
You can't really get MRIs and fancy
CT scans like we do in big grown-ups.

319
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:22,804
So I don't 100% know
what I'm about to find.

320
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,229
We're about to just pop
into the chest, so we just did there.

321
00:20:30,854 --> 00:20:33,899
Now we're going to open up space,
and this is an unusual thing.

322
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:36,610
We open up the chest
and we see intestines.

323
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:39,655
I don't really wanna see them now
because I don't wanna hurt them,

324
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:44,117
so I'm going to try to see if I can
tuck them away from us a little bit

325
00:20:44,117 --> 00:20:47,120
without putting too much pressure
on the heart inside.

326
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:50,707
I'm going to try to reduce the contents
into the belly now.

327
00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:52,834
Okay, there's the heart.

328
00:20:52,834 --> 00:20:55,087
Can I have a second kittner like this?

329
00:20:56,129 --> 00:20:59,424
Putting pressure on the lungs and heart.
Let us know if we need to take it off.

330
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:02,928
So let's start unfurling
what we can unfurl.

331
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:04,846
A little bit back here.

332
00:21:04,846 --> 00:21:08,225
Gonna try to use the liver
as a blocker for the bowel...

333
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:09,768
Uh-huh.

334
00:21:09,768 --> 00:21:13,105
...as long as the baby
will tolerate the torque.

335
00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:15,649
Do you have something longer
if we need it?

336
00:21:15,649 --> 00:21:20,112
We have such a privilege to serve
the people who need it in those moments.

337
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:21,780
I need something finer than this.

338
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:26,076
I found that when I took care of children,
it took it to such another higher level.

339
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:28,704
Because when someone
hands you their child,

340
00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:31,707
the weight of the responsibility,

341
00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:34,459
but also the tremendous privilege
of making an impact,

342
00:21:34,459 --> 00:21:35,877
that really called to me.

343
00:21:35,877 --> 00:21:38,797
The idea that you're
not just saving someone's life,

344
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:41,591
but when you think about a child,
you just saved a lifetime.

345
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:48,807
I thought these
were all in the right upper quadrant.

346
00:21:49,725 --> 00:21:52,811
Main concern is the fact
that there's still blood draining

347
00:21:52,811 --> 00:21:56,064
from the temporary covering
that's over his abdomen.

348
00:21:56,064 --> 00:21:58,608
You know, he still is very, very sick.

349
00:21:58,608 --> 00:22:01,486
- Okay. Alright. Careful there.
-  Slowly.

350
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:02,988
Okay, here you go.

351
00:22:04,489 --> 00:22:06,950
- Oh God, these rings are terrible.
-  Really bad.

352
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:11,830
Oh man, it's like plastered.
You can see quite extensive liver injury.

353
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:14,666
I don't see any active bleeding.

354
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:18,128
Don't speak too soon. Lift up.

355
00:22:18,128 --> 00:22:20,380
-  One here too.

356
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:23,842
We have to get all these packs out.
They were stopping the bleeding.

357
00:22:23,842 --> 00:22:26,261
Yeah, let's not rock the boat here.

358
00:22:26,261 --> 00:22:28,722
It's bleeding right there, see that?
That's fresh.

359
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:29,723
Okay.

360
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:31,933
-  So let's not touch that.
-  Mm-hmm.

361
00:22:31,933 --> 00:22:35,604
-  Down there, suction. There.

362
00:22:35,604 --> 00:22:38,357
-  Is that a hole?
-  Yeah, different.

363
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:41,651
We've got a lot of blood in his gut.

364
00:22:42,444 --> 00:22:46,531
We're going to leave the packing in here
because it's controlling liver bleeding.

365
00:22:46,531 --> 00:22:50,952
We've washed things out, stabilized stuff,
and we're coming back in a couple of days.

366
00:22:50,952 --> 00:22:54,539
Hopefully by then, enough fluid's
off the body and we can close the abdomen.

367
00:22:54,539 --> 00:22:56,541
As you can see, it's tight right now,

368
00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:59,753
and we need abdominal closure
to see if any blood wells up.

369
00:22:59,753 --> 00:23:04,174
And hopefully his body will recover,
then we'll be able to close the abdomen.

370
00:23:04,174 --> 00:23:05,801
That's the news we're hoping for.

371
00:23:18,355 --> 00:23:20,190
Alright, so bone is off.

372
00:23:24,903 --> 00:23:27,906
-  Oh, baby.
-  It almost looks like it receded.

373
00:23:27,906 --> 00:23:31,201
-  This looks like a cranioplasty.
-  Yeah, like a--

374
00:23:31,201 --> 00:23:32,702
Oh, Marcos.

375
00:23:32,702 --> 00:23:37,874
-  This is also...
-  Yeah. Send this for culture, dura.

376
00:23:37,874 --> 00:23:39,209
This little tumor...

377
00:23:41,044 --> 00:23:43,130
Gets weirder and weirder, this case.

378
00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:46,842
Nothing looks normal here. This is tumor.

379
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:51,555
Drop the table down all the way,
we're gonna go under the microscope.

380
00:23:51,555 --> 00:23:57,102
This is actually much more...
...upsetting than before.

381
00:24:02,649 --> 00:24:04,693
I think with what I'm looking at,

382
00:24:04,693 --> 00:24:06,528
and what we have in the lungs,

383
00:24:06,528 --> 00:24:09,781
and what we saw in the scalp,
and the rapidity of what grew,

384
00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:13,326
I don't see how he can live
more than six, twelve months.

385
00:24:16,872 --> 00:24:20,292
I didn't realize this disease
was so extensive intracranially.

386
00:24:22,210 --> 00:24:26,465
Brian, we just filed our flight plan.
We're going to start our initial descent.

387
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:27,549
Okay.

388
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,432
-  Dr. Teperman?
-  Yes?

389
00:24:35,432 --> 00:24:37,476
They clamped at 15:09.

390
00:24:37,476 --> 00:24:39,769
- Okay, thank you.
-  Suction over here.

391
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:45,942
They're calling me again.

392
00:24:45,942 --> 00:24:47,194
Okay, great.

393
00:24:48,361 --> 00:24:49,321
All right.

394
00:24:49,946 --> 00:24:51,990
-  Dr. Grodstein?
-  Yeah, that's me.

395
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:53,492
I just spoke to Dr. Winnick.

396
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:56,411
He'll be leaving the hospital
in about five minutes.

397
00:24:56,411 --> 00:25:00,290
It's stressful. It's very stressful
while waiting for the liver to come.

398
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:02,417
We have to synch
operating rooms very closely

399
00:25:02,417 --> 00:25:05,837
because the liver can only be outside
the body for a certain amount of time.

400
00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:10,383
We are praying that her brain
is staying where it is,

401
00:25:10,383 --> 00:25:13,887
and that we can get
this new liver in quickly so that it can

402
00:25:13,887 --> 00:25:17,474
lower a lot of the pressure in her head,
and that she can wake up at the end.

403
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:22,187
Why is Dr. Winnick taking so long?
Doesn't he know that we're operating?

404
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:26,942
Now we have to get this back
soon as we can so they can sew it in.

405
00:25:28,151 --> 00:25:31,613
They already started there,
and once we get there,

406
00:25:31,613 --> 00:25:34,658
we clean it up, and it's ready to go
without any more delays.

407
00:25:34,658 --> 00:25:37,285
-  They start flying yet?
-  Not yet.

408
00:25:38,161 --> 00:25:42,290
There's no reason for us to try to
take the liver out until the liver's here.

409
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:44,292
Where is Winnick?

410
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:45,669
Look at this.

411
00:25:46,962 --> 00:25:50,173
He's gonna show us where the plane is.
This is the app.

412
00:25:51,383 --> 00:25:53,552
Scheduled. They haven't taken off yet.

413
00:25:54,135 --> 00:25:57,180
Sixty-mile-an-hour winds,
they said, in New York.

414
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,317
No, I understand.
They got delayed and we went faster.

415
00:26:09,317 --> 00:26:13,989
You know, normally, as soon as I leave,
they'd sew it in, except there's no liver.

416
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:18,785
I'm going.

417
00:26:18,785 --> 00:26:21,162
There's been cases
where people haven't woken up.

418
00:26:21,162 --> 00:26:23,999
You do this whole thing,
send a team out, do the operation,

419
00:26:23,999 --> 00:26:26,585
then they don't wake up after. That's it.

420
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:27,669
Hey.

421
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:31,715
Nothing. Yeah,
but they still haven't landed.

422
00:26:31,715 --> 00:26:36,511
Yeah, so we're ready to cut out the liver,
but do you wanna order some Italian?

423
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,561
I think it looks great,
and the closure looks good too.

424
00:26:44,561 --> 00:26:46,062
And this position?

425
00:26:46,855 --> 00:26:49,524
Back to the NICU.
Intubated to the NICU.

426
00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:53,945
Thanks, everybody. It was a lot of set up.
Thanks for running around.

427
00:26:56,656 --> 00:26:59,868
Takes about 10 years
to be trained as a pediatric surgeon.

428
00:26:59,868 --> 00:27:03,872
Nine to ten years, between the research
and the clinical training.

429
00:27:03,872 --> 00:27:07,959
There's more NFL football players
than there are pediatric surgeons.

430
00:27:11,254 --> 00:27:14,299
Any more questions?
Sorry, I don't know if you understand me.

431
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:15,467
It's just that to me...

432
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:18,470
Not sure if you understand
my Cuban accent.

433
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:20,764
I don't know if my accent
makes it difficult.

434
00:27:20,764 --> 00:27:27,187
Now we won half the battle,
but now we have to keep going.

435
00:27:27,187 --> 00:27:29,356
Yes, it's like a marathon.

436
00:27:29,356 --> 00:27:32,359
It's not a short run.
It's a marathon overall.

437
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,530
It's really common that everything
won't go in a straight line.

438
00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:41,576
It's more likely that we're going to have
good moments and bad moments.

439
00:27:41,576 --> 00:27:43,453
-  Okay?
- Thank you.

440
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:53,713
-  Dr. Boockvar.
-  How are you? Everything went fine.

441
00:27:53,713 --> 00:27:55,298
- Can I use that room?
- Please.

442
00:27:55,298 --> 00:27:58,843
We removed that.
It looked very, like, broken down.

443
00:27:59,552 --> 00:28:03,431
And basically enlarged the bone opening,
and that's all being fixed,

444
00:28:03,431 --> 00:28:05,934
so you're not gonna
be able to see any of it.

445
00:28:05,934 --> 00:28:07,102
Mm-hmm.

446
00:28:07,102 --> 00:28:09,270
I'm pleased that we made it bigger

447
00:28:09,270 --> 00:28:12,691
because there was tumor in there, underneath.

448
00:28:13,233 --> 00:28:16,695
And the tumor was growing
in sort of both directions,

449
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:20,365
up out through the scalp
and down into the brain.

450
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:22,909
- So, I took it all out of the brain.
- Mm-hmm.

451
00:28:22,909 --> 00:28:26,121
If there is a lot of disease elsewhere,

452
00:28:26,121 --> 00:28:29,541
I'm going to tell you that
that's going to impact his survival.

453
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:34,087
However, we sort of reset the clock
a little bit with this operation...

454
00:28:34,087 --> 00:28:35,046
Mm-hmm.

455
00:28:35,046 --> 00:28:37,298
...and hopefully with the information

456
00:28:37,298 --> 00:28:39,467
we gleaned from the pathology
and the genetics,

457
00:28:39,467 --> 00:28:42,595
we can come up with something
that is effective.

458
00:28:42,595 --> 00:28:45,140
-  He wants to live so bad.
-  I know.

459
00:28:47,267 --> 00:28:49,936
And this was a good step toward that.

460
00:28:51,563 --> 00:28:54,399
-  It's a terrible case.
-  Thank you so much, Dr. Boockvar.

461
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:55,567
Appreciate it.

462
00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:58,445
But you know,
miracles do happen in some way.

463
00:28:58,445 --> 00:29:00,488
You know, we've seen

464
00:29:01,698 --> 00:29:06,244
turnarounds in cases,
and I just pray he's one of them.

465
00:29:06,244 --> 00:29:10,290
- Be happy with what he has done.

466
00:29:27,182 --> 00:29:29,642
<i>I have a transplant pickup
at Republic Airport,</i>

467
00:29:29,642 --> 00:29:31,936
<i>going to North Shore University Hospital.</i>

468
00:29:32,645 --> 00:29:34,105
10-4.

469
00:29:59,756 --> 00:30:01,090
Thank you, guys.

470
00:30:06,429 --> 00:30:07,931
Suction to me, please.

471
00:30:15,396 --> 00:30:17,148
Is Aaron here?

472
00:30:22,111 --> 00:30:23,613
Getting out of the elevator.

473
00:30:25,532 --> 00:30:29,244
-  Let me see a pickup, hold this?
-  I can't, it won't move.

474
00:30:29,244 --> 00:30:31,704
-  Thanks, see you in there.
-  Coming in the back?

475
00:30:31,704 --> 00:30:33,373
Yes, I'm gonna go change.

476
00:30:40,255 --> 00:30:42,590
Oh, look at that.

477
00:30:44,133 --> 00:30:47,053
- Do you have anything finer?
-  The key is not to drop it.

478
00:30:48,429 --> 00:30:50,014
- There you go.
- Thank you.

479
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:52,058
Wow, that's a big liver, Aaron.

480
00:30:54,185 --> 00:30:57,146
It's a beautiful liver.
Big for her, but she'll be fine.

481
00:30:57,730 --> 00:30:59,274
It's life-saving.

482
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:04,487
Why don't we check to make sure
there's no holes that we missed?

483
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,323
Yup.

484
00:31:07,323 --> 00:31:09,242
-  Lew, you ready?
-  Ready.

485
00:31:09,242 --> 00:31:11,828
Alright,
let's cut this thing slowly out.

486
00:31:11,828 --> 00:31:13,413
Okay, push, push.

487
00:31:13,413 --> 00:31:15,248
-  Uh-huh.

488
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:19,627
Okay. Take the liver out.
Firm like a rock.

489
00:31:20,837 --> 00:31:23,840
She had autoimmune hepatitis,

490
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,303
and possibly made a little worse
by medication.

491
00:31:28,303 --> 00:31:30,305
This is basically a dead liver.

492
00:31:36,019 --> 00:31:39,230
Here. Excuse me. Excuse me.

493
00:31:40,356 --> 00:31:43,568
On my way. I need a blue towel up there.

494
00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:44,861
Right here.

495
00:31:59,792 --> 00:32:01,586
You guys, connect this thing.

496
00:32:05,381 --> 00:32:08,009
I'm going to pass this one
behind the corner.

497
00:32:08,009 --> 00:32:09,093
It's a big liver.

498
00:32:21,189 --> 00:32:23,191
Okay, that's enough knots, guys.

499
00:32:23,191 --> 00:32:27,236
- We're going 40 knots on this ship.
-  We're being knotty?

500
00:32:27,236 --> 00:32:29,072
Irrigation, please.

501
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:35,411
Okay, stop, pull it out.

502
00:32:35,411 --> 00:32:38,665
That's just... Okay, we're going
to come out of bypass.

503
00:32:39,415 --> 00:32:41,209
Okay, everything's good.

504
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:44,379
Liver full, it's in the hole,
her old one is out.

505
00:32:44,379 --> 00:32:47,715
And now it just has to do its job,
it has to give her life.

506
00:32:48,216 --> 00:32:51,260
We'll know right away.
The question is, does she wake up?

507
00:32:55,223 --> 00:32:58,351
Okay, let's see if we can find her family.

508
00:33:08,111 --> 00:33:11,823
-  Hey, things went very well.
-  Okay.

509
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:17,412
Um, there was clearly extensive damage
to the liver, the stomach.

510
00:33:17,412 --> 00:33:21,165
We have to wait, let his body recover,
um, and take it day by day.

511
00:33:21,165 --> 00:33:24,627
In a couple of days, re-evaluate
to take back, wash out, maybe even close.

512
00:33:24,627 --> 00:33:27,296
- That's good. That's really good news.
- Yes.

513
00:33:27,296 --> 00:33:31,384
And we know there's some bullet fragments
in the arm, some by the heart.

514
00:33:31,884 --> 00:33:34,178
It'll take time to tell the full extent

515
00:33:34,178 --> 00:33:37,098
of what type of long-term issues
there might be.

516
00:33:37,098 --> 00:33:41,561
You know, he's doing a great job
of fighting, and we'll be with you.

517
00:33:47,108 --> 00:33:48,776
We basically did a wash out.

518
00:33:50,236 --> 00:33:54,365
It's rewarding to be able to
assist in the care of a child like this,

519
00:33:55,199 --> 00:34:00,288
but it gets tiring seeing a lot of these
innocent kids being injured by bullets.

520
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:07,628
We don't always, often have the chance
to kind of save a life,

521
00:34:07,628 --> 00:34:11,716
or to see somebody come through
after being shot this many times,

522
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:15,470
so it's really very kind of encouraging
to see what we saw today.

523
00:34:15,470 --> 00:34:18,848
You get to take not only a kid
through a journey, but also parents.

524
00:34:18,848 --> 00:34:21,350
Because of the anxiety
that parents go through

525
00:34:21,350 --> 00:34:23,561
when their kid
goes through a health crisis,

526
00:34:23,561 --> 00:34:25,813
it's an insurmountable level of stress.

527
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:27,356
I love you.

528
00:34:31,903 --> 00:34:33,321
I'm right here with you.

529
00:34:37,408 --> 00:34:40,328
I'm going nowhere,
I'm not going to leave your beside.

530
00:34:40,328 --> 00:34:42,789
Be right here with you the whole time.

531
00:34:44,791 --> 00:34:48,669
Hi, beautiful. How are you?
Let's see if I can do this without...

532
00:34:50,129 --> 00:34:52,507
totally detaching everything.

533
00:34:55,885 --> 00:34:56,928
That looks great.

534
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:00,264
Okay, princess.

535
00:35:02,016 --> 00:35:05,686
After raising three kids, I still
kind of remember how to do that, right?

536
00:35:05,686 --> 00:35:09,315
<i>We went from her being born
and not even sure if she's going to live.</i>

537
00:35:09,315 --> 00:35:12,819
<i>Now, she's breathing on her own,
her x-rays look great,</i>

538
00:35:12,819 --> 00:35:15,905
<i>and the heart has kind of come back
to where it belongs.</i>

539
00:35:17,573 --> 00:35:20,535
<i>To see that transformation,
that sense of peace in a mother,</i>

540
00:35:21,285 --> 00:35:26,582
<i>it's the kind of thing that keeps us going
and brings us back to do more of this.</i>

541
00:35:28,417 --> 00:35:31,921
<i>And you need those highs
because the valleys are really deep.</i>

542
00:35:38,052 --> 00:35:39,178
I'm so tired.

543
00:35:46,102 --> 00:35:47,812
This is just unbelievable.

544
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:49,939
Look how amazing I look.

545
00:35:50,690 --> 00:35:54,068
Dr. Teperman, you really saved my life.

546
00:35:54,068 --> 00:35:56,821
I just am so thankful to the family

547
00:35:56,821 --> 00:36:00,158
because this person
gave me a second chance at life.

548
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:04,704
And I know that must have been
really difficult to make that decision.

549
00:36:04,704 --> 00:36:07,290
You were sick,
we weren't gonna let you go.

550
00:36:11,294 --> 00:36:13,921
-  How are you?
-  <i>Good, and you?</i>

551
00:36:13,921 --> 00:36:15,673
Good, we just finished.

552
00:36:16,257 --> 00:36:18,176
Yeah, thank God.

553
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:19,844
<i>That's good. How did it go?</i>

554
00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:21,637
It went well, thank God.

555
00:36:22,555 --> 00:36:23,848
I'll see you in a few.

556
00:36:24,932 --> 00:36:28,436
<i>- And our little guy?</i>
- He's moving a lot. He's really hungry.

557
00:36:28,436 --> 00:36:29,562
He's hungry.

558
00:36:29,562 --> 00:36:31,981
-  <i>Okay, be careful, okay?</i>
- Okay, love you.

559
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:41,032
<i>At the end of the day, I always
think about all the patients that I had.</i>

560
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:45,328
<i>Sometimes you assess the situation
in your head and you think about it,</i>

561
00:36:45,328 --> 00:36:48,873
<i>think about, well,
what can I make different the next time?</i>

562
00:36:48,873 --> 00:36:51,500
<i>It just helps you to decompress,</i>

563
00:36:52,752 --> 00:36:57,882
<i>so by the time I get home,
I don't bring that to my house.</i>

564
00:36:59,508 --> 00:37:01,761
<i>Because that's the time for my family.</i>

565
00:37:02,553 --> 00:37:05,306
-  Hi, <i>papi</i>, how are you?

566
00:37:05,306 --> 00:37:06,891
How's my son?

567
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,352
- Mm?

568
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:17,944
<i>Medic 88.
We have a call for a pregnant female.</i>

569
00:37:17,944 --> 00:37:19,904
<i>Complaining of vaginal bleeding.</i>

570
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:21,739
<i>Does not speak English.</i>

571
00:37:21,739 --> 00:37:25,326
<i>Family member reported she was still
conscious at the time of the call.</i>

572
00:37:25,826 --> 00:37:27,828
<i>Heading to Lenox Hill ER.</i>

573
00:37:28,496 --> 00:37:29,372
<i>This is a code 3.</i>
