Dr. Benton talked me through it.
You did this? There was nobody else to do it, so i... By all means, then let's get whoever's available. You ought to try it next time. Yeah, maybe if you'd respond to your page... I can't wear my pager in the dojo. Brenda knew where I was. You should have called her. What the hell happened anyway? Dr. Weaver, flail chest in four just dropped his pulse ox down to 81. Carter, can you take this one? By all means give him another surgical procedure. Maybe I just should have let him die? Stop crying. I'll clean up after you. Good work, carter. I know. Really. He was lucky that you were out there. Thank you. Carter! I'm coming! Legapsi: Kerry? Yeah. You have a suicidal ideation? 16-year-old girl in trauma two. She have a plan? Parked her car in front of a train. Oh, I suppose that qualifies. She's also in a major depression. Flat affect? No real remorse. About the suicide attempt? For the train wreck. Oh, my. Do you think that you're going to get off before 12:00? Hmm, probably not. Okay. Uh, I'll try to be quiet. No. Wake me. Man: Something wrong? Hey... What? Is there something wrong with my heart? No. Probably a bruise to your chest wall. We'll get an x-ray to make sure. You were lucky. We're still sifting through the walking wounded but I think we're over the hump. Carter just took the last critical. How many came in? 37. Five up in surgery. Only two er deaths. That's not bad, considering. Yeah, if you don't count the doas. You did great work today. You should go home. We got it from here. The board's backing up. That's all right. We got it. Go home. See you tomorrow. Shirley called for you. What? Or nurse-- you asked her to call when the mom and son came out of surgery. Did they? Yeah. They're in recovery. The mom's got sensation in her legs and the kid's neurologically intact. That's good, right? Yeah. That's good. Ah, you still here, huh? Nurses put me to work. Thought I was a volunteer or something. ( Laughs ):
Good. Now you've got an experience to talk about in your interview. I don't know. Hey, it shows. You might as well use it. I mean, I don't know if i want to. Want to what? What i saw tonight... Most people go their whole lives without seeing stuff like that: Drilling into a little boy's head; guys having their legs cut off; people dying right in front of you... You get used to it. Yeah. That's what I'm afraid of but thanks for helping me find out early. Go to the interview. Dr. Benton... Go to the interview. You might feel differently in a few days. I know, but... Hey, give yourself options. Anything? No contractions since the third round. Fetal heart rate looks good. So, it's over? Aside from bed rest. How long do you think? ( Clears throat ) you can catch me up on my soaps. It'll be okay. When i felt the baby move before-- obviously I knew it was in there-- but suddenly this feels real, you know? Yes, mom. Ob's waiting and transpo promises they'll be down soon to take you up. Thanks, abby. And the monitor stays on for at least 24 hours. I'll keep it on until I give birth. You just have to slow down. ( Writing ) no more helicopters. Right. Hey. Hey. You're leaving? Uh, no, I-I thought i'd check on the bishop. Another critical come in? No. That's it. Is she stable? Yeah, after three rounds of terbutaline. Good. Yeah, it was scary, though. Yeah. You heading home soon? Uh, I don't know. Are you okay? Yeah. Any change? He didn't want the breathing mask. Has he been awake? Napping on and off. ( Snoring softly ) what time is it? 11:30. You're here late. You'll have to be intubated soon. On a ventilator? Mm-mm. Your oxygen level is down to 65 on 100% oxygen. I've seen what happens after the ventilator. If it drops below 50... Thanks, but no thanks. Anyway... My bags are packed. How long do I have? Maybe hours. Then i'd better hear it now. Hear what? Your confession. Oh, bishop, I don't think... That's what you came up here for, isn't it? I wanted to check on you. You're searching for your faith. You think you lost it, but you only buried it. It's never left you. In the name of the father and the son and of the holy spirit. Amen. May god, who enlightens every heart help you to know your sins and trust in his mercy. ( Snickers ) father, I-I can'T... Luka.... Your heart is burdened, luka. Talk to me. Let me take that burden with me. I don't know. I, uh... Lost my family. Danijela, my wife, she, uh... Wanted to move out of vukovar but, um, i had to finish my internship and, uh... Soon it was too late. It wasn't safe to move.
I was going
to get some supplies
and, um...
I made them stay behind.
I was just crossing the street
when the mortar shell
hit the apartment building. Go on. I ran inside.
There were my neighbors--
hurt, bleeding, dying
but I...
But I passed them by.
I-I had to get to my family. Danijela! Danijela! Danijela! Danijela! Woman: Luka! Luka... Marko... Marko... Marko... Luka, marko! Marko... ( Groaning ) ( speaking croatian ) ( speaking croatian )
a piece of shrapnel had torn
into danijela's spleen
and she was bleeding to death.
When i turned back
to my daughter
she wasn't breathing,
and I, uh... I lost her pulse.
But as long as i, uh,
kept doing cpr
and breathing for my daughter,
I thought she had a chance. Danijela...
I could only pray that, uh...
Someone would get there
to help. ( Shouting in croatian ) if i'd picked up danijela at that moment and gotten her to the hospital, she... Could have had surgery. You know, she could have lived but I couldn't leave my little girl. ( Blowing ) danijela. ( Speaking croatian )
I waited and prayed.
I prayed someone would come. ( Shouting in croatian ) and no one came. No one came. Jasna. Jasna.
I called out for hours
as i stayed there...
Breathing for her, doing cpr.
I finally had to stop
from exhaustion. I lost them all. You couldn't sacrifice the one to save the other. Even if you had, you'd still blame yourself. ( Sobbing ) these things can't be explained... Why it happens. The providence of god and the mysteries of life and death are the very fiber of our faith. They were gifts of love and life. You are a gift of love and life. Don't turn your back on them. God... Father of all mercies through the death and resurrection of your only begotten son... Was reconciled himself to the world and sent the holy spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins through the ministry of holy church...
May god give you pardon
and peace
and I absolve you
of all your sins.
In the name of the father
and of the son and of the holy spirit. Amen.
