Please step away from the gurney transfers
and the heavy lifting.
And for the love of all
that's good and holy, get an M.
R.
I.
I almost don't want to see the damage.
We want to launch a citywide campaign
featuring you as the face of All Saints.
Dr.
Cooper, pay attention!
You need to pay attention!
Dude! Dude!
What the hell?
You know I'm fine.
You don't need to stay here.
This machine is a piece of ***!
I'm gonna begin interviewing
for a pharmacist.
I've already put in a
call to Eddie Walzer.
- Awesome!
- Eddie kind of lost it when the Pill-o-Matix came.
- It's not that he wasn't good at his job, but
- All right.
I hear you.
Grace, open the door!
Honey.
Oh my God.
Hi, is Dr.
O'Hara in yet?
Great, can you get her for me?
I'll wait.
I got it.
Thanks.
Here you go, sweetie.
Good morning.
How are you?
Um, listen, can I steal you
for a minute when I get in?
Okay.
Great, thanks.
- Who's seen this?
- Half of ortho.
The main spine guy is in Barbados.
Meanwhile, my follow-ups
keep getting pushed.
Yeah, well *** that.
You need to see a specialist.
Well, I am the least of my problems.
Grace is pulling her hair out.
Oh God.
I'm really sorry, Jackie.
Eddie used to give me some oxy.
You know, between cortisone shots
when it would get really bad.
I I could do that if you like.
Give you a couple of oxy.
Yeah.
You know, I guess that would
short of banging you over the head
to put you out of your misery,
I don't see what else I can do.
All right.
Great.
Just let me know.
I'll stop by and get a prescription.
- Oh
- No, because you know what happens
is it flares up and I haven't
you know, never mind.
It's beating a dead horse.
Who came up with that anyway?
The same awful people that like to kill
two birds with one stone, I imagine.
You know who I like?
People who let sleeping dogs lie.
What qualifies you for the position
of emergency department pharmacist?
What qualifies me?
Seriously?
I did this job for 10 years.
You also came in here drunk,
not to mention you had to
have your stomach pumped.
One might think these
incidents would disqualify you
to run a pharmacy.
Oh man, either you want
me back or you don't.
Cook me or sew me back up.
This in-between ***
I need some assurance that you're stable.
Both things happened after I left.
My work was impeccable for 10 years.
Plus I I still have a lab coat.
So you save right.
Now you're going to tell
me you'll get back to me
and I'll be checking my messages.
Or I might just say
welcome back to All Saints.
Yeah? Really?
- I'm gonna rock this ***.
- I wish you wouldn't.
- No, it's just an expression.
- Still.
Eddie!
It's gonna be like old times,
bro! I'm telling you.
Hey.
Hey.
This is the man!
- No listen, Coop
- This is the man right here!
Coop Coop, listen, I I gotta bounce.
Yeah yeah yeah, later.
Bounce.
Bounce.
Hey, got a minute?
Actually, I don't.
Yeah well, we got a wack
job coming in five, so
I'll keep it brief.
Emotionally disturbed person, Dr.
Cooper.
Here's what it is.
I think I was part of a
very successful campaign.
- You were.
- So how come they're taking the posters down?
Stop that!
I mean, why not keep a good thing going?
- Right? Seems to me
- All Saints rented the ad space for six weeks.
Those six weeks are up, Dr.
Cooper.
- I
- please answer your pager.
You heard that? It's on vibrate.
Someone may be dying.
- Oh, the nurses
will keep them alive until I get there.
It's their job.
So, uh
what needs to happen
in order to keep the campaign going?
I mean, I'm sorry.
I'm totally willing
to keep the, you know, campaign going.
I'll I'll I don't know
pay out of pocket.
I could I could pay for the ad space.
If it helps - Very
that's a very generous offer, Dr.
Cooper.
Well, I'm a very generous guy.
So, uh
seems like a win-win, right?
What do you think?
I can hear your pager
vibrating, Dr.
Cooper.
I know.
I know.
Whatever.
Just can you think about it?
Hmm? Gloria?
altered mental status.
Found disoriented and naked.
Wack job.
Got it.
E.
B.
P.
psych eval.
Dude started peeling his clothes
off at the grocery store.
They usually call the police;
The police called us.
No, stay here.
Give me the keys.
- Thank you.
- Get his arms.
Someone tell the cops to stop
dumping their disorderlies
at All Saints.
On my count.
One, two, three.
You're all right.
You're okay.
We're right here.
Let's keep him sedated.
Give him five and two.
He's not agitated and he's not resisting.
B.
P.
'S 110 over 70.
I want to stay on top of it.
Start the line.
Hey, buddy.
Hmm? Buddy?
You know where you are?
- No.
- No.
You're at All Saints.
Can you tell me your name?
No? I'm Jackie.
Don't worry,
we're gonna take very
good care of you, okay?
He smells like fresh laundry.
Hey, Marco?
Can you tell me how you got here today?
No.
- Do you know what year it is?
- No, ma'am.
It's 2010.
Thank you.
Can you ask around and see
if you can find some family?
I thought I recognized you,
Marco Prince linebacker!
Right? Wow.
This guy's famous.
It's an honor to meet you.
Brotherhood of the broken nose, right?
Hey, kill the h.
And a.
, he's cool.
Marco, we're gonna take good care of you.
Are you having a rough day?
Yeah.
Dude got picked in the first round.
Linebackers never get
picked in the first round.
Mm-hmm.
Florida gaters, I know.
I'm gay,
I'm not a girl.
Sam's calling around.
Also, there's a lady in three.
She's 49.
She's having pain in her
swimsuit area.
I'm thinking it's an appy.
- Can I take it?
- It's all yours.
Let's get this guy an M.
R.
I.
, full blood and spinal tap,
rule out infection, brain tumor, bleed,
treat him like a king, Hmm?
As opposed to a "wack job"?
Marco Prince fantastic.
Low-Er
ab-dom-i-nal
pain.
We've been through this already.
Just being thorough.
- Are you sexually active?
- No.
Pretty much just lie there.
No, I meant, um
ah, a joke, got it.
- Hello hello.
- Lower quadrant.
Uh, C.
B.
C.
came back
white count's high.
We're in line for a beta
and waiting on a cat scan.
I'm telling you right now my
appendix is dead and rotting.
So how about a ***
drip and a nice Merlot?
I'm not saying no.
I do think your appendix has ruptured.
All right.
Rule out pregnancy,
get her into C.
T.
and call the O.
R.
Oh my God the two of you.
Seriously?
I'm forty-***-nine years old, okay?
- May I help you?
- I'm looking for Marco Prince.
Hi.
Are you his wife?
There's my guy.
Hey, baby.
- I'm sorry.
- What are you sorry for?
Would you like to eat something?
- We have some meal trays right over here.
- That would be nice.
Okay.
You know what happened?
Someone called the police.
That's all I know.
Janelle came looking for you,
but you were already gone.
Oh.
Where did I go?
Supervalue.
What did I do?
Took off your clothes.
- Oh God
- Baby, no.
It's not a big deal.
Good looking guy like you,
you made their day.
Look, you had to leave work again.
You know what I say to that?
Lucky me.
That's what I say.
If either of you need anything,
please don't hesitate.
Okay.
Do you mind me asking
if you're the same Marco
Prince who played ball?
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, you mind or yes, you are?
Yes, I am.
You have officially
made my day, Mr.
Prince.
Blindside sack on the
Tennessee quarterback
You're my hero.
You are so brave.
I could never move to a foreign country.
Oh, you underestimate yourself.
Mm, no.
I would miss American candy.
What you'd miss are your people.
I don't have people.
Excuse me, I beg your pardon,
you have me, you have Jackie,
you have Lenny.
Having Lenny scares me.
Hmm.
Ooh! Not having Lenny scares me.
Wow.
Okay.
Huh.
So whom do you miss
from your foreign land?
The queen.
- Together?
- Yes.
- No.
Wha
- I
yes.
What if I can never pay you back?
She's my friend.
So, we ordered an M.
R.
I.
And a spinal tap.
They are doing his bloodwork as we speak.
Can we cancel it please?
Sorry?
You need to cancel the M.
R.
I.
Our insurance is going to kick it back.
We can't afford it.
It's not like anyone can fix it.
He's not sick sick.
He's got early onset dementia.
- He was a linebacker.
- Mm, yes, I heard.
First round.
And he's not 6'5" and he's not 300 lbs,
so he's fast and tough as ***.
I could wallpaper my bathroom with M.
R.
Is,
we don't need another one.
I know what his brain looks like.
- All right?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I got it.
What are you doing for lunch?
Want to get a little quiznos,
hang out in the pharmacy,
- kick it old school?
- Mm, can't turn back the hands of time, Coop.
So let's do something different.
- Sushi!
- I made plans, bro.
Sorry.
Water off a duck's back.
Pff!
Hey, Zoey, you want to get a little lunch?
Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
I'm having lunch with Jackie.
Help a sister out.
Sorry, Lenny.
Ladies only.
That's cool.
What about you? You want to get a grinder?
As wildly tempting as a grinder sounds,
I have far too much respect for Zoey
to horn in on her territory.
Loud and clear.
I'll go to lunch with you.
No, thanks.
What about you, Thor? Grab a bite?
No lunch for Thor today.
He needs to drop some of that weight.
- I can totally hear you.
- Still need to drop
some of that weight.
You need anything?
No.
Just thank you.
It's embarrassing.
You know, you break your arm,
you're still you.
You break your brain and
you're not you anymore.
And it freaks me out.
I mean, we used to have it nailed down.
We had a guy who lived with us.
He took care of me, but
We pretty much burned
through everything we had.
- So
- Our neighbor looks in on him.
I don't know where I go, man
'cause I don't want to leave.
But I do and I don't know why.
I have a beautiful wife
a beautiful life,
it's slipping off my plate
Every day a little more.
Hey.
- Hard day?
- Oh, same old.
You?
Just happy to be back.
It's gonna be different now.
You know that, right?
Why?
Eddie.
Remember that time when I
walked in on you guys
Oh God.
Zoey!
- Good times.
- Yeah.
Let's make this quick.
So, thank you for having lunch with me.
Go on.
Lenny is so nice to me,
much much much nicer than I am to him.
- That's because he likes you.
- Yes.
I am aware of that,
which is why I've called this meeting.
Clearly, we have sizzling chemistry.
Obviously.
Uh, actually, Zoey, it's not that obvious.
But if it's obvious to you,
that's all that matters.
Yes.
He's into me.
That's for sure.
Get to your point.
Should I hook up with him
or not?
You don't have a mother or a best friend
or somebody you can be having
this conversation with?
Yes, but they're all gossips.
You know how to keep a secret.
That is for sure.
Private life is private life.
Um, we're not talking about me.
My point exactly.
So what do I do?
Um, well, you have to see him every day.
It might become weird.
It's already kind of weird.
Well, then I would have to caution you
against fooling around with co-workers.
And if you are still going to,
then I would suggest
you slow down about it.
But the heart wants what the heart wants!
You know what I'm talking about.
Actually, I don't.
You and Eddie
Yes?
Hooked up.
Okay, Zoey, you know what? Yes.
You and Lenny
in a back room on a cot somewhere
and someone like you can walk in on you.
That's good stuff very romantic.
And I wish you all the best.
Oh no, come back!
Okay, it good talk.
Thank you.
This is the way it used to be,
hanging out in the back
talking *** about nurses.
Nice.
Go easy on the nurse smack.
How come you're not a doctor? Seriously.
I could ask you the same thing.
I am a doctor.
No.
I mean how come you're not a nurse?
All the work, none of the pay,
zero glory.
Hmm?
I'd die.
I I'd be dead.
Not true.
- I have an awesome life.
- Yeah?
But would I think it was awesome?
- Hmm?
- I think you would.
You should tag along with me and my
buddies after work a little Coop
reunion.
You can meet my lady,
- see my world.
- Yeah.
- Really?
- Yeah.
What should I wear?
Is there anyone you want me to call?
You could call my father
and he could yell at me
for being an *** mother.
I had sex once in six years.
Once.
I'm 49.
Did I mention that?
You did.
That's a very smart hat, by the way.
Hmm.
I'm just going off
what Diane Keaton did
in her last movie, you know.
White bounces the light
and shaves off decades.
Yes, well nothing shaves off decades
like a stroller and a sippy cup.
I never even thought about being a mother.
Maybe one summer when I was 26,
I thought about how great it would be
to have a bunch of kids.
But since then, it never occurred to me.
What about you?
All my life.
A divorce? You have lost your mind.
Occupational hazard.
The fact is, you don't make enough
to take care of him.
And you make too much
to qualify for Medicaid.
This is who you wanted me to see?
She's been *** the
system for 30 years.
- I would listen to her.
- I didn't make the rules.
I don't even believe in them.
I'm just passing on information.
As a married couple,
your income is his income.
And Medicaid will not help him
as long as he's tied to your assets.
And you can quit your job,
but then your whole family
is dependent on the state.
It's your call.
But he needs round-the-clock care.
I only make $52,000
the sooner you put this
in motion, the better.
His costs are gonna be catastrophic
as this thing plays out.
Medicaid will cover it, but not as
long as you're in the picture.
Today's visit alone, without the M.
R.
I.
,
would cost you $11,000.
- You're serious?
- Yeah, we are.
You will lose your house.
They'll garnish your income.
To that end, All Saints would
like to take care of today
and give him a clean bill of health
so that you're only liable
for future expenses.
I promised to love him.
You don't have to be married to love him.
It's just a piece of paper.
Maybe to you.
You wiped out her bill.
My boy went to the university of Florida.
Love the gators.
Yeah, we're getting too old for this ***.
Speak for yourself.
I don't care what they say,
you are not a grinchy little ***.
- Who's "they"?
- Um, that would be me.
He used to get loaded
and now he does this.
- Pretty cool, huh?
- Yeah, cool.
What?
Ah,
you wouldn't understand.
Try me.
Uh, cool guys never like me.
Never.
I'm like the plague.
They think I don't know it, but I do.
It's all good.
I'm a doctor.
-
***! I told you, I'm a total ***.
I I don't have a cool bone in my body.
You look cool.
That's half the battle.
No, I don't yeah? You think so?
Definitely.
he'll be with these guys all night.
You wanna bounce?
Is that bad?
I can walk you home if you want.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Unacceptable.
What are you people doing?
People come to me with
their guts hanging out
and I stuff them back in.
I don't
go sliding their appointments around
so I can lie on a beach
with my colleagues.
- Now hold on a minute.
- Why isn't anybody helping my friend?!
I don't know what grace talked about
in her last session.
I do not
want you to break her confidence,
but I'm just looking for
some advice at this point.
But my daughter is
pulling her hair out.
I don't know if she's
telling you this stuff,
uh, but this is what she's doing.
I will pay you for your time,
I just I don't know
yes, I understand.
I just
I just thought you should know.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
Oh my God, you're in scrubs.
I I need your help.
Just call 911,
my boyfriend's having a seizure.
- Is he epileptic?
- Yes, but I've never seen him have a seizure before.
Can you give him some room?
Can I have your jacket?
We just have to wait it out.
He'll be okay.
Get outside and wait for EMS, please.
Can you step back? Listen,
you are not helping him.
He needs calm.
Go.
I got it.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Roxicodone, holy ***.
Are you a dealer?
You a ***' doctor? What?
Oh God, forgive me.
It's okay.
You'll be all right.
You're okay.
There's no Jackie Peyton in the system.
My mistake.
I don't know whose M.
R.
I.
yu saw, but it wasn't hers.
Because if she had an M.
R.
I.
, it would be here.
Yes, I understand that.
I can't do more than apologize
and say "my mistake.
"
- Where are you taking him?
- All Saints.
Mm, he should go to Bellevue.
Uh, can we take him to Bellevue?
All Saints is closer.
Bellevue is better.
Trust me.
We want to go to Bellevue.
Do what she wants.
Bellevue.
- My God, thank you so much.
- You don't have to thank me.
It's what I do.
