- God, it's a Roman farce!
- I thought I heard you out here.
I suggest you do that right now.
I'm so terribly sorry.
As I understand it...
a nurse inadvertently administered an IV
to Schaefer. How could that happen?
- We ought to straighten this out elsewhere.
- Very good idea.
Oh, God, what a mess!
- I'd better call the Medical Examiner.
- I still don't understand what happened.
- It took us an hour to get it sorted out.
died last night, in 806.
That information wasn't given
to the night nurses. These things happen.
At any rate, according to the cardex...
the patient, Guernsey, was down
for 25 mg of Sparine at q. 6h.
to give him his 12:00 shot.
In the meantime, Dr. Schaefer
usurped that particular bed...
for his own purposes.
Dr. Brubaker suggests
it was for a love tryst...
and some weight is given that hypothesis...
- by the fact that Dr. Schaefer was naked.
- I get the drift.
Nurse Perez went in
and sedated Dr. Schaefer...
thinking it was the patient Guernsey.
What I don't understand...
May I finish, please?
After Perez gave him his shot, she noticed
the IV was pinched off on the bed.
She reported this to Mrs. Reardon...
who then assigned Nurse Rivers
to restart the IV.
Rivers was a float. She didn't even know
the staff people on the floor.
Nobody knew what the patient looked like,
since he'd only been admitted that morning.
- So she plugged an IV into him.
- Yes.
- How much?
- A liter.
won't kill anybody.
Was he dehydrated?
Did he have any ancillary conditions?
Didrt anybody bother to go check on him
during the night?
Even under the impression
that he was merely a patient?
Was he hyperosmolar?
Did he have a bad heart?
He must have had some sort of thrombosis.
I want the post done here, Mr. Hitchcock.
You and I better have a chat
about your excessive use of float nurses.
I've got nearly a thousand nurses
in this hospital...
Every time one of them has her period,
she disappears for three days.
Doctors complain they can't find
the same nurse on the same floor...
two days in a row.
What am I gonna tell Schaefer's parents?
That a substitute nurse assassinated him...
as she couldn't tell the doctors
from the patients on the floor?
My God!
The incompetence here
is absolutely radiant!
Two nurses walk into a room
and one of those is a Number 18 Jelco,
tourniquet the poor guy...
anchor the poor guy's arm
with adhesive tape...
and it's the wrong poor son of a b*tch!
Where do you train your nurses,
Mrs. Christie? Dachau?
All right.
