The trick to onions,
2
00:00:05,027 --> 00:00:07,863
cut them in half lengthwise,
but leave the roots on,
3
00:00:07,988 --> 00:00:11,033
then make your
vertical slices.
4
00:00:13,952 --> 00:00:15,954
I need a dozen.
Think you can handle this?
5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,372
A dozen is 12, right?
6
00:00:18,373 --> 00:00:23,795
Next, we add mustard greens,
spicy and they pack a nice punch.
7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,091
Plus, they're really
good for you, improve mental function,

00:00:28,216 --> 00:00:32,304
protect against rheumatoid arthritis,
even inhibit certain types of cancer.

Are you going to chop those onions
or give them a Thai massage?

I don't know.

Maybe they wanted to take time off to
spend with their little dumbwaiter,

but then they had to leave it at home
with an elevator sitter

00:10:24,145 --> 00:10:26,231
That's important.
171
00:10:26,356 --> 00:10:27,857
And I do miss that,
172
00:10:29,275 --> 00:10:31,402
but it just wasn't
enough anymore.
173
00:10:37,075 --> 00:10:39,535
- That doesn't feel right.
-Shun
174
00:10:40,036 --> 00:10:41,037
(GROANS)
175
00:10:41,162 --> 00:10:42,455
It's weird.
176
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:47,377
What is it, ascites?
177
00:10:51,089 --> 00:10:52,507
(GROANS)
178
00:10:52,632 --> 00:10:54,175
Your belly's
full of blood.
179
00:10:59,472 --> 00:11:03,101
First her lung deflates,
like me after a cold shower,
180
00:11:03,226 --> 00:11:05,979
now her liver starts to bleed,
like me after a...
181
00:11:10,942 --> 00:11:12,277
FOREMAN: You okay?
182
00:11:12,986 --> 00:11:14,320
HOUSE: Great.
183
00:11:14,779 --> 00:11:17,782
Just practicing
my clown college audition.
184
00:11:17,949 --> 00:11:19,701
Someone set a trip wire.
185
00:11:21,869 --> 00:11:22,829
We were with the
patient the whole time.
186
00:11:22,954 --> 00:11:24,580
E were in the R .
187
00:11:25,456 --> 00:11:26,708
Lung, liver. Go.
188
00:11:26,833 --> 00:11:28,793
Shouldn't you be obsessing over
who did this to you?
189
00:11:28,918 --> 00:11:32,297
Nope. Anybody bother MRI-ing
our patient's liver for tumors?
190
00:11:32,422 --> 00:11:35,633
No tumors, no cysts,
no clear etiology.
191
00:11:35,758 --> 00:11:39,721
If you're not obsessing,
you must have already figured it out.
192
00:11:40,763 --> 00:11:43,641
Yes. So I'm obsessing about
why you're not obsessing
193
00:11:43,766 --> 00:11:46,811
about why our patient's liver
suddenly sprang a leak.
194
00:11:46,936 --> 00:11:50,148
There's a tiny spot on the caudate lobe.
Could be a granuloma.
195
00:11:50,898 --> 00:11:53,609
Erodes into the hepatic artery,
causes the bleed.
196
00:11:53,735 --> 00:11:55,069
What caused the granuloma?
197
00:11:55,194 --> 00:11:56,904
Blastomycosis.
198
00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:58,740
Could've been
asymptomatic for months.
199
00:11:58,865 --> 00:12:03,453
It hits her lungs, we give her steroids,
it blossoms and attacks her liver.
200
00:12:03,870 --> 00:12:06,164
Get a piece of her lung,
stick it under a black light.
201
00:12:06,289 --> 00:12:10,835
If it glows, the sick children who need
her soufflés can breathe easier.
202
00:12:12,462 --> 00:12:13,796
Foreman.
203
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:19,010
Again?
204
00:12:19,927 --> 00:12:20,762
You have a problem.
205
00:12:20,887 --> 00:12:21,804
I told you. I didn't...
206
00:12:21,929 --> 00:12:23,890
Then you really
have a problem.
207
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,809
When she turned her head
to look at the MRI,
208
00:12:26,934 --> 00:12:29,145
I think she's losing
her peripheral vision.
209
00:12:29,270 --> 00:12:31,356
Because she turned
her head?
210
00:12:31,481 --> 00:12:32,732
I'm happy for you.
211
00:12:33,316 --> 00:12:36,194
A love so deep you're ready to chuck
your medical license
212
00:12:36,319 --> 00:12:40,448
to give her powerful, unproven drugs
with dangerous side effects.
213
00:12:40,573 --> 00:12:42,867
I don't want to make any assumptions
about your feelings for me,
214
00:12:42,992 --> 00:12:45,578
but I do have
a birthday coming up.
215
00:12:56,839 --> 00:13:00,760
I hear Cuddy's SEAL training
finally came in handy.
216
00:13:00,885 --> 00:13:03,554
Should I be investing in a flak jacket?
217
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,264
You're safe.
218
00:13:05,390 --> 00:13:09,811
No carpet bombing, no burning of Dresden
to teach her a lesson?
219
00:13:11,479 --> 00:13:13,147
Well, since you're incapable
of taking the high road,
220
00:13:13,272 --> 00:13:17,693
I assume there's some deeper,
more long-term strategy in effect.
221
00:13:17,819 --> 00:13:21,572
Cuddy's not playing games,
she's not looking for leverage.
222
00:13:21,697 --> 00:13:24,367
She wants pure,
unadulterated vengeance.
223
00:13:24,492 --> 00:13:26,828
And your countermove
is to let her have it?
224
00:13:26,953 --> 00:13:29,497
The only time to strike back
is when I want something.
225
00:13:29,622 --> 00:13:32,417
All I want now is to get things
back to normal,
226
00:13:32,542 --> 00:13:34,001
which I can't get
by escalating.
227
00:13:34,127 --> 00:13:39,382
The only way to win this war is to
lose it. Let her punch herself out.
228
00:13:39,507 --> 00:13:41,968
Yeah, that makes sense, too.
229
00:13:42,093 --> 00:13:42,927
Too?
230
00:13:43,052 --> 00:13:47,390
I was thinking you actually feel guilty
about taking her away from her baby,
231
00:13:47,515 --> 00:13:49,142
but your explanation
is good, too.
232
00:13:49,267 --> 00:13:52,895
It's completely inconsistent
with your character, but whatever.
233
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:56,732
Oh, thank you, Rationalization Man,
you have saved the village.
234
00:13:57,358 --> 00:13:59,402
You wanna eat?
235
00:13:59,527 --> 00:14:00,862
You forgot your file.
236
00:14:02,572 --> 00:14:06,617
Dana Miller?
The cancer researcher?
237
00:14:06,742 --> 00:14:07,952
Not anymore.
238
00:14:17,044 --> 00:14:18,963
Dr. Miller, I doubt
if you'll remember me...
239
00:14:19,088 --> 00:14:20,381
James Wilson, right?
240
00:14:20,506 --> 00:14:22,842
Chicago, at the
adenocarcinoma conference?
241
00:14:22,967 --> 00:14:24,177
Impressive.
242
00:14:25,928 --> 00:14:27,722
You want some cortisone
for that itch?
243
00:14:27,847 --> 00:14:31,642
Liver failure, itching is one
of the lovely side effects.
244
00:14:33,603 --> 00:14:34,979
W“)! did you quit?
245
00:14:35,605 --> 00:14:37,857
Well, the worst thing is,
now, every time I get sick,
246
00:14:37,982 --> 00:14:40,401
I have to listen
to a dozen people judge me.
247
00:14:40,526 --> 00:14:42,361
Do you want me
to congratulate you?
248
00:14:43,696 --> 00:14:46,324
I've got four kids in Pede-Onc
right now who are going to die.
249
00:14:46,449 --> 00:14:49,410
Three of them within a year,
the other in a few days, probably.
250
00:14:49,535 --> 00:14:51,078
Breakthroughs will happen.
251
00:14:51,204 --> 00:14:54,040
With or without me,
someone will find the answer.
252
00:14:54,165 --> 00:14:55,124
Maybe.
253
00:14:56,501 --> 00:14:58,044
(SCOFFS)
254
00:14:59,170 --> 00:15:02,590
I'm in the trenches.
I'm doing triage as best I can.
255
00:15:02,715 --> 00:15:04,759
You had the chance
to end the war.
256
00:15:06,594 --> 00:15:08,763
How is someone like me
supposed to keep fighting
257
00:15:08,888 --> 00:15:12,058
when someone like you
just walked away?
258
00:15:13,851 --> 00:15:17,980
When I left my job, a lot of people
were furious with me.
259
00:15:18,105 --> 00:15:21,192
It was easier to be angry
than to admit they weren't happy.
260
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,112
That they were stuck
in a rut somewhere in their lives,
261
00:15:25,238 --> 00:15:26,489
unable to move forward.
262
00:15:28,324 --> 00:15:29,742
What's your rut?
263
00:15:35,456 --> 00:15:37,041
(MAN CHATTERING ON TV)
264
00:15:42,088 --> 00:15:44,507
Okay, you're
freaking me out.
265
00:15:45,258 --> 00:15:47,051
Do you think
we should have kids?
266
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:55,601
We've had
this conversation.
267
00:15:55,726 --> 00:15:58,771
Ten years ago.
Things change.
268
00:15:58,896 --> 00:16:01,524
On our third date, I told you
that I didn't want to have kids,
269
00:16:01,649 --> 00:16:03,568
and you said that
you were okay with that.
270
00:16:03,693 --> 00:16:05,820
I said it because
I wanted to sleep with you.
271
00:16:05,945 --> 00:16:07,947
And then
I fell in love with you,
272
00:16:08,072 --> 00:16:11,117
and I realized
that I really could be okay with it.
273
00:16:12,702 --> 00:16:15,997
It wasn't like I had
this burning desire to have children.
274
00:16:16,122 --> 00:16:18,708
God, have you been resenting me
all this time? Is that why...
275
00:16:18,833 --> 00:16:21,586
No, of course not.
276
00:16:23,921 --> 00:16:26,966
I'm just revisiting.
277
00:16:31,345 --> 00:16:36,517
This isn't a whim for me.
It's not a decision that I made lightly.
278
00:16:36,642 --> 00:16:38,853
Don't you ever wonder
what it would be like?
279
00:16:38,978 --> 00:16:40,104
All the time.
280
00:16:42,523 --> 00:16:44,817
But just not enough
to make me want to do it.
281
00:16:45,776 --> 00:16:47,445
I like our life.
282
00:16:51,907 --> 00:16:53,284
Are you okay?
283
00:16:55,786 --> 00:16:57,371
Can I turn
the TV back on?
284
00:17:15,348 --> 00:17:16,724
Look straight ahead.
285
00:17:17,266 --> 00:17:18,476
(CHUCKLES)
286
00:17:18,601 --> 00:17:20,853
Why didn't we do
this test this morning?
287
00:17:21,479 --> 00:17:23,564
- Do you see that?
- No.
288
00:17:24,690 --> 00:17:27,735
- Damn.
- I'm losing my peripheral vision?
289
00:17:32,782 --> 00:17:34,075
I am on the drug.
290
00:17:36,077 --> 00:17:39,747
Does this mean you have to tell them
and take me off it?
291
00:17:40,456 --> 00:17:42,958
No and yes.
292
00:17:43,959 --> 00:17:46,379
As far as they're concerned,
you're on the placebo.
293
00:17:46,504 --> 00:17:50,341
I found out last week.
The trial was getting positive results,
294
00:17:52,677 --> 00:17:53,886
so I switched you.
295
00:17:56,889 --> 00:17:58,557
So my headaches...
296
00:18:03,104 --> 00:18:06,023
I'll stop taking the drug
and everything should be fine.
297
00:18:12,446 --> 00:18:14,949
Specimen's negative
for blastomycosis.
298
00:18:15,074 --> 00:18:16,367
That's it?
299
00:18:17,410 --> 00:18:20,413
I'll go give House the test results.
You can tell the patient.
300
00:18:21,038 --> 00:18:22,248
Hey.
301
00:18:26,001 --> 00:18:27,920
We have been dating
for two weeks.
302
00:18:29,088 --> 00:18:33,676
You just broke trial protocol
and risked your entire career
303
00:18:33,801 --> 00:18:36,804
to give me a drug
we're not even sure will help me.
304
00:18:39,014 --> 00:18:40,975
I don't think
I'm ready for that.
305
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:50,985
Dr. Miller?
306
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,242
I'm sorry. The test was negative.
So, I'm gonna take you off...
307
00:18:59,076 --> 00:19:00,286
What happened to your head?
308
00:19:00,411 --> 00:19:02,288
I don't know,
I was sleeping.
309
00:19:02,413 --> 00:19:04,165
It's so itchy.
310
00:19:04,290 --> 00:19:06,292
You were scratching it
in your sleep.
311
00:19:06,709 --> 00:19:08,002
(SIGHS)
312
00:19:09,044 --> 00:19:10,838
You scratched right through your skull.
313
00:19:10,963 --> 00:19:13,048
- What?
- This is brain matter.
314
00:19:13,215 --> 00:19:14,300
Oh, God.
315
00:19:15,009 --> 00:19:16,218
Need some help in here.
316
00:19:18,888 --> 00:19:21,098
I did a free flap closure
to avoid any scarring.
317
00:19:21,223 --> 00:19:23,601
She was lucky, the scratching
didn't cause any brain damage.
318
00:19:23,726 --> 00:19:24,560
But the first thing she said
319
00:19:24,685 --> 00:19:27,313
when we woke her up was,
"it still itches."
320
00:19:27,438 --> 00:19:31,108
Itch receptors are only
in the top two layers of skin,
321
00:19:31,233 --> 00:19:33,694
which means she's not actually itchy,
she just thinks she is.
322
00:19:33,819 --> 00:19:34,737
So the problem's
in her brain.
323
00:19:34,862 --> 00:19:37,406
Thank God we have you here
to interpret that for us.
324
00:19:38,949 --> 00:19:40,993
Sorry. I have a headache.
325
00:19:41,118 --> 00:19:42,161
KUTNER: It could be psychogenic.
326
00:19:42,286 --> 00:19:43,788
She made a big,
sudden change in her life,
327
00:19:43,913 --> 00:19:45,998
could be the
result of a mental imbalance.
328
00:19:46,123 --> 00:19:48,709
She wants to do what she wants to do,
what's crazy about that?
329
00:19:48,834 --> 00:19:51,378
Why do you have to quit to do it?
If I want to do something, I do it.
330
00:19:51,504 --> 00:19:53,714
If you can figure out a balance,
there's no burn out.
331
00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:55,174
Thanks for the lesson,
Deepak,
332
00:19:55,299 --> 00:19:58,093
but the itching started yesterday,
not eight months ago.
333
00:19:58,219 --> 00:20:00,054
Meningitis, encephalitis.
334
00:20:00,179 --> 00:20:02,223
Those are diffuse processes,
this is localized.
335
00:20:02,348 --> 00:20:06,018
Could be plaques, MS would explain
the itching, possibly the lungs.
336
00:20:06,143 --> 00:20:07,269
So would a brain tumor.
337
00:20:07,394 --> 00:20:10,314
Well, how about we stop guessing
and MRI her head instead?
338
00:20:33,629 --> 00:20:36,465
- You want to talk about your headaches?
- Not particularly.
339
00:20:38,133 --> 00:20:42,805
You went off the drug, but the headaches
are worse. You need an MRI.
340
00:20:42,930 --> 00:20:44,098
The patient needs an MRI.
341
00:20:44,223 --> 00:20:47,059
If she had gangrene, would you be
amputating my leg?
342
00:20:47,184 --> 00:20:51,105
These pills have codeine in them? You're
taking twice the indicated amount.
343
00:20:51,230 --> 00:20:53,148
I've only been off the drug
for 24 hours.
344
00:20:53,274 --> 00:20:56,527
So I think the bigger issue here is that
I've been off you for 24 hours.
345
00:20:56,652 --> 00:20:59,029
You have worsening headaches,
loss of peripheral vision,
346
00:20:59,154 --> 00:21:02,116
and a long history of pretending
bad things aren't happening.
347
00:21:02,241 --> 00:21:04,994
You really think
this is just about my hurt feelings?
348
00:21:15,796 --> 00:21:18,716
- I don't remember demoting you.
- Brought you something.

Latest issue of Parent magazine.
Really interesting column.
350
00:21:22,511 --> 00:21:25,806
Apparently, working moms
are actually more engaged and attentive
351
00:21:25,931 --> 00:21:29,101
than stay-at-home moms.
Something about personal fulfillment.
352
00:21:29,226 --> 00:21:30,060
That's just a rationalization
353
00:21:30,185 --> 00:21:32,563
by working moms who justify
not being with their kids,
354
00:21:32,688 --> 00:21:36,066
which is fine, if that's what they want.
It's not what I want.

- You're only here to get back at me

water on my carpet.
358
00:21:42,364 --> 00:21:45,159
Just get it over with
so I can get back to work.
359
00:22:07,348 --> 00:22:08,807
I'm sorry.
360
00:22:10,434 --> 00:22:11,852
I figured
361
00:22:12,353 --> 00:22:15,064
only one of us needed to go
out on a limb.
362
00:22:17,358 --> 00:22:19,234
I thought I could help you.
363
00:22:20,110 --> 00:22:23,989
It's hard to have a conversation
when I'm trying not to move.

Oh, God.
366
00:22:34,208 --> 00:22:37,252
Patient's MRI was negative,
no tumors, no lesions.
367
00:22:37,378 --> 00:22:39,797
- Where's your cane?
- Where are your co-workers?
368
00:22:39,922 --> 00:22:42,007
- I paged them.
- It could still be psychogenic.
369
00:22:42,132 --> 00:22:45,135
Technically, it can't still be that
because it never could be that.
370
00:22:45,260 --> 00:22:47,763
She scratched through her skull
while she was sleeping.
371
00:22:47,888 --> 00:22:50,015
Unless she was having
a dream about fleas...
372
00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:52,351
Oh, hey, funny
you should drop by.
373
00:22:52,476 --> 00:22:54,687
We were just talking
about this patient of ours.
374
00:22:54,812 --> 00:22:57,189
Tell him the part about where two
of her doctors don't show up for...
375
00:22:57,314 --> 00:22:58,482
Where are you going?
376
00:22:58,607 --> 00:23:01,151
Polyneuropathy. If it's not
in the brain, it's in the nerves.

the lungs, the liver.
378
00:23:02,987 --> 00:23:06,073
Shock the affected area,
re-boot the nerves, she'll be fine.
379
00:23:06,865 --> 00:23:07,950

380
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:12,871
How bad is she?
381
00:23:17,001 --> 00:23:19,294
She's got a tumor
in her optic chiasm.
382
00:23:21,088 --> 00:23:22,965
You don't need your coat
to treat a tumor.
383
00:23:23,090 --> 00:23:24,883
I'm going to
the drug company.
384
00:23:25,009 --> 00:23:27,970
To tell them that you compromised
their trial, your ethics,
385
00:23:28,095 --> 00:23:29,930
and the patient's health.
That's a great idea.
386
00:23:30,055 --> 00:23:33,017
They have records
on hundreds of patients.
387
00:23:33,142 --> 00:23:34,018
I can ask them for access,
388
00:23:34,143 --> 00:23:36,979
find out if other patients developed
tumors and how they were treated.
389
00:23:37,104 --> 00:23:38,772
This drug inhibits
cell death.
390
00:23:38,897 --> 00:23:40,858
I think I can take
a wild guess on how I treat that.
391
00:23:40,983 --> 00:23:45,195
Stop taking it?
Yeah, she tried that yesterday.
392
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,532
Oh, my God. It's been a whole day and

about getting to sleep tonight...

to tell her

this happened to other people,
and they're fine now.
398
00:23:57,916 --> 00:23:59,251
So tell her.
399
00:23:59,376 --> 00:24:01,962
- I'm not going to lie to her.
- A little late for that.
400

You need to wait.
401

Because if this thing
doesn't go away,

00:24:08,719 --> 00:24:11,472

to still have a medical license.
403
00:24:15,392 --> 00:24:18,937
So I spoke with House.
He thinks we should just...
404
00:24:19,063 --> 00:24:21,565
- My leg is bleeding.
- What happened?
405
00:24:21,690 --> 00:24:25,444

Don't tell me. She burned
your apartment to the ground.

No heat, no power.

doesn't seem to be working.

Hang up. He's here.

We've been

By all means, let's discuss the failed

420
00:25:29,424 --> 00:25:31,510
not the reason
behind them.

Shocks without shock,
an itch that won't stop.

She needs Dr. Seuss.
425
00:25:41,603 --> 00:25:44,231
Lhermitte's sign could mean Behcet's,
B12 deficiency...

No sores, no anemia.

TAUB: No idea.
428
00:25:48,193 --> 00:25:50,028
Could be another

429
00:25:50,154 --> 00:25:52,948
Why are you asking about Foreman
and not Thirteen?
430

Because both questions
are bound to have the same answer.

Ebony and Ivory are joined near the hip.
Forget the brain, look lower.
432
00:26:01,081 --> 00:26:03,292
A spinal tumor wouldn't explain
the liver or the lungs.
433
00:26:03,417 --> 00:26:06,253
But an aggressive
spinal hemangioma could.

You can't see.

- On his way to the drug company.

- Tell him to come back. I'll dial.
- If they can help...

he loves me.

00:30:35,188 --> 00:30:36,440
Something weird is going on,
507
00:30:36,565 --> 00:30:38,608
and it involves our colleagues,
we should know.
508
00:30:38,733 --> 00:30:40,944
You want us to treat the patient?
Tell us what's going on.
509
00:30:41,069 --> 00:30:42,654
Actually, all he
needs us to do
510
00:30:42,779 --> 00:30:45,574
is tell Wilson
to do something. So...
511
00:30:49,035 --> 00:30:51,204
You always blab
to watch people react,
512
00:30:51,329 --> 00:30:54,666
so not blabbing means you don't want us
to react, which can't be good.
513

Is Thirteen's headache
not just a headache?

am I going to find her name?

Little pinch.
516
00:31:11,892 --> 00:31:15,687
I'm sorry about the other day.
I unloaded on you and...
517
00:31:15,812 --> 00:31:17,272
You're not sorry.
518
00:31:18,398 --> 00:31:21,818
You feel bad because mesothelioma
means I'm dying.
519
00:31:21,943 --> 00:31:24,196
You're a good person.
I appreciate the sentiment.
520
00:31:24,321 --> 00:31:26,198
I'm not apologizing
because you're dying.
521
00:31:26,323 --> 00:31:30,243
I'm apologizing
because you were right. I am stuck.
522

She was the only person
I've loved for a long time and...
524
00:31:38,585 --> 00:31:42,631
I'm still living in her apartment.
I'm surrounded by her things.
525

(CHUCKLES) I've left it
all exactly where it was.
526

to get un-stuck.
527
00:31:52,265 --> 00:31:55,852

is to do nothing.
528
00:32:01,024 --> 00:32:02,108
Yeah.
529
00:32:05,862 --> 00:32:07,113
All right.
530
00:32:13,995 --> 00:32:15,830
That's not supposed
to happen.
531
00:32:24,047 --> 00:32:27,801
Have you thought about going to
the drug company, see if they can help?
532
00:32:27,926 --> 00:32:28,969
I thought about it.
533
00:32:29,094 --> 00:32:31,596
We need to give it more time,
it's been half a day.
534
00:32:31,721 --> 00:32:33,014
This thing keeps growing,
535
00:32:33,139 --> 00:32:35,892
there's other stuff in your brain
you might need later on.
536
00:32:36,017 --> 00:32:39,729
If I were any other patient, you'd both
be in the lounge eating donuts.
537
00:32:39,854 --> 00:32:42,482
- You're not any other patient.
- Right.
538
00:32:43,191 --> 00:32:45,360
Any other patient,
you don't feel guilty.
539
00:32:46,611 --> 00:32:49,990
But you don't get to torch your career
to pay for your sins.
540
00:32:50,949 --> 00:32:53,159
House told you
to say that, didn't he?
541
00:32:53,285 --> 00:32:56,079
Does that make it
any less true?
542
00:32:56,663 --> 00:32:59,457
- You think he's right?
- Who cares?
543
00:32:59,666 --> 00:33:01,167
You're a hypocrite.
544
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:03,545
You don't ask her if she wants
to be on the drug,
545
00:33:03,670 --> 00:33:05,255
but when there's a chance
you could help her get better,
546
00:33:05,380 --> 00:33:07,591
suddenly you're letting her
call the shots?
547
00:33:08,216 --> 00:33:11,303
That's not being noble,
that's saving your own ass.
548
00:33:13,013 --> 00:33:15,974
I'd feel worse if he
destroyed his career.
549
00:33:19,269 --> 00:33:21,146
Mesothelioma doesn't bleed.
550
00:33:21,271 --> 00:33:23,231
So what causes
masses that do bleed?
551
00:33:23,356 --> 00:33:25,275
AVM secondary
to schistosomiasis.
552
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,360
She'd be crawling with worms,
we would've noticed it.

to the tumors, they wither and die.

Start with the ones
in her lungs,

'cause if they get any bigger,
she's gonna have a hard time breathing,

so she'll have a hard time
telling us she's dead.

You can't kill the tumors
without also killing healthy tissue.

is your Aunt Flow telling me...

my apology, isn't it?

Nope. This is my way of saying
you were doing a crappy job before,
602

you'll do a slightly crappier job now,

Nature of life,
nature of parenthood.

Or this whole thing
is just an act.

- Kutner's already cleaned it out.
- Damn! Oh, well,
611
00:37:03,827 --> 00:37:07,831
it means the only thing I'm gonna
get out of this is a diagnosis.
612
00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:11,584
So the nurses gave her pads
instead of tampons,
613
00:37:11,709 --> 00:37:12,877
is that diagnostically
relevant?
614
00:37:13,002 --> 00:37:15,213
The fact that the nurses
had to give her anything is.
615
00:37:15,338 --> 00:37:17,340
It means she's bleeding
from her uterus.
616
00:37:17,465 --> 00:37:20,385
Women do that. It's perfectly natural,
not scary at all.
617
00:37:20,510 --> 00:37:23,972
She's menstruating
and she's bleeding everywhere.
618
00:37:24,097 --> 00:37:27,100
There's about a three- or four-in-28
chance it's a coincidence.
619
00:37:27,225 --> 00:37:31,688
Which leaves a much bigger chance that
the diagnosis is ectopic endometriosis.
620
00:37:31,813 --> 00:37:35,692
She had a myoma eight months ago. The
surgeons cut through her uterine wall.
621
00:37:35,817 --> 00:37:37,068
Every cut of the scalpel
622
00:37:37,193 --> 00:37:40,697
could have sent endometrial cells
spilling out into her bloodstream.
623
00:37:40,822 --> 00:37:42,282
Some of them took up
residence in her lungs,
624
00:37:42,407 --> 00:37:44,075
some in her liver,
some in her spine.
625
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,411
And like all
horny little cells,
626
00:37:46,536 --> 00:37:49,873
they went forth and multiplied until
they reached a critical mass.
627
00:37:49,998 --> 00:37:51,791
In the days leading up
to her next period,
628
00:37:51,916 --> 00:37:54,919
when her uterus is supposed to swell,
everything swelled.
629
00:37:55,044 --> 00:37:57,964
Then when her uterus was supposed
to bleed, everything bled.
630
00:37:59,757 --> 00:38:04,470
Yes, ladies, I am blaming her period.
Granted, it's the worst period ever.
631
00:38:04,596 --> 00:38:06,931
Although, frankly,
not by all that much.
632
00:38:07,056 --> 00:38:08,975
Cut out the masses,
she'll be fine.
633
00:38:09,100 --> 00:38:12,020
Can't do surgery until her cycle's over
and she stops bleeding.
634
00:38:12,145 --> 00:38:14,105
Let's hope she can
hold out until then.

a pint of cookie dough ice cream
