it felt first.
You want me to tell you how it feels for me ?
It feels unmanageable now, Christian.
I just had to move 5 appointments to next week,
not to mention the overtime that I'm putting in already.
You may be stuck where you are, but the business isn't.
I'm thinking about calling Quentin Costa,
see if he can come down from Atlanta and pick up some of the slack.
I miss one surgery, and you want to replace me ?
It hasn't been one surgery.
Look, I'm not ready to come back yet.
What's wrong with that ?
You just said, "whatever you need."
I didn't give up 2 decades of my life to build a business
just to turn into some divorced doctor who's stuck with no life,
working 80 hours a week because his partner decides he doesn't want to come in anymore.
Something's gotta change.
If you can't, the business has to.
Divorced ?
When did this happen ?
Oh, Julia just presented me with papers.
But you know what ?
I'm not gonna sign 'em.
She loves me. I love her.
I'm gonna prove to her that we work.
Julia wants to move on with her life.
Why can't you ?
We're not talking about my marriage.
This is about my partnership with you.
So what you're saying is it's all about you.
Oh, come on. You weren't the only one who was attacked.
I never would have been attacked if it weren't for you.
Are you blaming me for what happened ?
You're the one who had to do the pro bono work on his other victims.
You're the one who's stuck, Sean.
You haven't dealt with your life at all.
Right now, I may not be able to move in this world, but you won't even look at it.
Sean, Detective Fischman's holding on line one.
He says it's an emergency.
Welcome back.
Congratulations, Sean.
Another carver victim awaits.
And you running out to save the day is just what he wants.
Pump some fresh air in here !
And no one inside without a mask and menthol.
- Doctor, thanks for coming out.
- What is going on in there ?
You find another carver victim ?
Worse. Come on.
They could smell her 3 doors down.
We responded to a 911 call about a possible heart attack and found this.
Do you know how it ought to be run ?
With a piece of rubber hose.
Break 'em in two if they talk out of turn.
Anyone who doesn't tow the mark sits in solitary for one month, bread and water.
One funny move from a girl, and I'd clip every hair off of her head.
That's the way it used to be run, and that's the way it ought to be run.
Just like they're a bunch of animals in a cage.
Why didn't you take this woman directly to the hospital ?
We tried moving her.
I had a special wide-body ambulance out front,
but every time we budged her an inch, she started screaming.
Why call me ?
She was screaming holy hell about her skin.
You're the only guy I know in the skin trade.
Mrs. Boone, this is Dr. Sean McNamara.
He's here to help you.
Hello, Mrs. Boone.
Anyone ever tell you you look like Damon on guiding light ?
Is that a good thing ?
Then thank you, Mrs. Boone.
Call me Momma. Everybody does.
How you feeling today, Momma ?
I'm fine.
I told Denny not to call the 911.
He was all worried about my breathing, but I'm all right.
I don't need this.
Can you make them stop looking, please ?
Can you guys give us a moment of privacy here ?
- Back off.
- Thanks.
All right.
How long you been like this, Momma ?
Since 2002.
You've been on this couch for 3 years ?
It's my sciatica.
Every step I took was like a fire in my back.
The doctor at the hmo said to lie down, and the pain went away, until I got up again.
So I just stayed. I got the tivo so I could see all my stories.
Could you lean forward for me for a second ?
No.
There are anti-inflammatory medications you could've taken for your back.
I know there are things I could've done, ok ?
You ain't the first to tell me.
Denny... that's my husband... he tried to get me to go to another doctor a few years back,
but I'd gotten pretty big,
and you know how people get out there when you're big.
What
