Where was your ass at

when I got mugged the other night?

They picked him up passed out on Third.

Off the bus, he looked okay.

They left him ten minutes.

Hi there.

Jeez, he's really hot.

- What's this stuff?

- It's what he came in.

- Do we have a name for him?

- He won't talk.

Can you tell me your name, sir?

We started to work him up.

He looked sour.

We only left him ten minutes.

Can you tell me your name, sir?

Jesus! Hands, please!

Get him in the back room.

Oxygen. Joel, 10 of Valium.

You'll have to calm down for me.

Calm down. Simon, how's my EKG?

I need some numbers.

Any second.

- Valium's in.

- Hold the oxygen. We're getting him.

Can you hear me?

If you can hear me, it's very important...

Okay, Foley. How's my Foley?

We're already in.

Let's get a tox and let's get labs.

I want an ABG, I want a VDRL...

...I want a CBC, I want a...

Just get some serology tubes.

We'll work out what we want.

Can you run the bloods?

Look at this.

On his wrist.

All right, so we've got

a hospital wristband.

Hold him. Hold him!

No name, no hospital.

Anyone seen one of these? Silver.

Pressure's 90 over palp and dropping.

Where's it going?

He could be septic.

Look at this.

He's post-op.

Recent surgical scarring, fresh tracks.

Possible IV, possible intravenous drug user.

Simon, how's it going?

180, 60, 120...

Fix the machine, for chrissake!

- Here's what I want.

- 70 over palp, Guy.

Jesus, okay. Turn up the fluids.

Dopamine. Run at 500, now.

It's 240, 120. It's not the equipment.

I'm getting good tracings here.

Get the samples to the lab.

The tests you wanted...

I don't care. Get everything! Go!

Now it's going up, 180 over 100.

180? Back off on the...

Don't do that! Back off on the fluids.

- Cut the dopamine. We overshot here.

- The dopamine's not even in yet.

Come on guys, help me. Theories.

- What's happening?

- I don't know.

We're stabilizing.

I'm getting a normal sinus rhythm.

120 over 80.

- Did we do anything?

- It's holding.

80 and steady.

Think it's viral?

I hope not.

Could be.

Maybe there's a virologist

hiding here somewhere?

Hi. Can you hear me?

My name...

...Claude Minkins.

Good. Listen to me, Claude.

You're in Gramercy Hospital.

I've been here before.

You know what?

You had a hospital band on your wrist.

Where were you being treated?

You taking any drugs?

What medicine did they give you?

I don't know.

Triphase.

Whatever they put in you...

And what is Triphase? What is that?

Is it what they gave you where you were?

Tell Izzy I need a psych consult.

Then call the pharmacy,

find out what Triphase is.

Do you have epilepsy?

Stay with me. Do you have epilepsy?

Diabetes?
