about food ?
Denny comes around every weeks or so.
He cashes my disability checks for me, and he brings me whatever I want.
Denny's my lifeline.
He got me the tivo.
What about personal needs, going to the bathroom ?
I'd rather not talk about that.
That's fine.
I'm just gonna examine your skin, Momma.
Might hurt a little for a second.
You're doing great.
Just one more second, ok ?
I'm gonna be right back, ok ?
I need to get her to the hospital.
Her exposed skin has grafted itself to the couch.
How is that even possible ?
She's been lying in her own waste in this humid air for 3 years.
Bacteria can live exposed for years on synthetic fibers.
That, coupled with the moisture from her bodily fluids and her extreme weight,
caused her to literally fuse with the fibers in that couch.
The compression of her nerve endings is the only thing keeping her
from passing out from the pain, and we have to move her fast.
What, after 3 years, all of a sudden there's a rush ?
This woman has sepsis and severe deep vein thrombosis.
Any one of a dozen clots in her legs could travel toward her lungs and kill her.
I need to get her legs moving,
and the only way to do that is to get her off that couch.
How ?
There's not a door big enough to get her and the couch through.
Then take this wall out.
- Don't make me go out there.
- Over here.
You're gonna be fine.
I'm gonna be right here with you.
I need you to relax.
Are the people out there gonna see me like this ?!
Um...listen, do you have some kind of tarp or something ?
Yeah. I think I got something.
It's gonna be ok.
We're gonna get you something.
How we doin' ?
You guys ready ?
All right, let's get her out of here.
Ok, guys, give me the poles over here.
Hello ?
Your 4:00 ass lift is prepped and on the table, Sean.
Where are you ?
Oh, shit. I've run into an emergency out in the field.
Um, stall.
I am staring at an extremely anxious patient whose bare behind is saying, "how do you do",
to the ceiling, and you want me to stall ?
Where's Dr. Sean ?!
Where's Dr. Sean ?!
So page Christian. Have him start.
I'll fly in to finish.
No, please. I don't like driving.
I want Denny. Denny always holds my hand in the car.
Where's Denny ?
I'll ride with you, Momma, and then your husband can meet us at the hospital, ok ?
- She's stabilized.
- Let's roll.
- It's gonna be ok.
- Thank you.
There was traffic. Sorry.
You live 10 minutes from here.
I paged you an hour ago.
Just tell the patient I'll be in in a minute.
The patient left half an hour ago.
Dr. Troy. I, uh... I wanted to formally accept.
I'm sorry. Accept what ?
A partnership in McNamara/Troy.
I got Sean's call last week.
He said that the lawyers were drafting the contracts.
This... this is for you.
Listen, Quentin, I don't know what sean told you,
but I never agreed to take on someone new, let alone a partner.
Well, this is awkward, isn't it ?
I put my house in Atlanta on the market this morning.
Well, you'll have to take it back off the market. Sorry.
It can't be easy to just... bounce back from what you've been through.
Let me take a look at it.
Come on, I just bought you a drink, baby.
The least you could do is let me see it.
May I ?
You really should have this taken care of, Christian, before a wicked keloid pops up.
I'll tell you what.
Sign me up as your partner, and I'll take care of it, gratis.
You think you're a better surgeon than Sean ?
I think I could make both of your lives a lot easier...
and bring in some delightful additional income.
Save the hard sell, Quentin.
This is between me and Sean.
Thank god. You're quitting. Where's sean ?
Dade county memorial.
Why ?
What the hell are you doing ?
Good. I could use an extra pair of hands.
Liz, the patient's being prepped in room 2.
- Ok. Will do.
- I'm not helping you.
Then why are you here ?
Quentin Costa paid me a little visit about an hour ago.
He claims that you offered him a partnership.
He's right.
