I'm gonna need to

put a tube in there.

I'm gonna put some numbing

medicine here on your skin.

Feel that?

OK, you won't for long.

There we go.

Easy does it.

[groaning]

I'll be putting the tube in now.

It'll take the fluid out of

that space squishing your lung.

Almost done.

Hurts now, but you're

gonna love me in a minute.

[screaming]

You're gonna feel a

little more pressure here.

Just a little further

and we're there.

Almost done.

We're good.

I'm gonna hook it up

to the suction pump.

OK.

Oh, Jesus!

Pinch the tube.

Just force it in there.

I'm sorry.

Start the suction, Marci.

You know, I'm

not your servant.

ROBERTS:
That feels

better, right?

Uh-huh.

NURSE:
Set the suction

to 20 centiliters.

I guess we get the official

award for the messiest chest

tube insertion of the month.

One of us is

breathing easier, huh?

I'm gonna take this

needle out of your chest.

We could take that mask

off now if you like.

NURSE:
His oxygen

sats are back to 98%.

Respiratory rate down to 20.

MARK:
My back still hurts.

Yeah, wiggle your toes for me.

Are they going?

Hm, can try again.

That's shock, right?

That's what the paramedic said.

The body just shuts down.

Shuts down.

ROBERT:
Yeah, that can happen.

So I'll feel better soon.

Yes, you will.

You're strong.

My Bulgarian split squats.

Biking.

Feel that?

Yes, I can.

How about that?

I think.

This?

Yeah, I can't.

How about that?

You feel that?

No.

Let's get a sphincter test.

NURSE:
ER handshake,

best part of the job.

Doctor's gonna examine

you internally now.

Nothing like a prostate

massage to light up a guy.

Watch and learn.

NURSE:
Why don't

you let Sam do it?

She could use some

practice on her skills?

ROBERTS:
Let's lose

the small talk, OK?

Open your legs, please.

Open.

Let's put him on his side.

Fun

1, 2, 3.

Watch the chest tube.

Yeah.

ROBERTS:
We're doing this just

to make sure your spinal cord

is functioning all right.

NURSE:
And to see if all

men really have prostates.

[phone ringing]

1, 2, 3.

I could be charging

hundreds of dollars

- for this on the street.

- We're in the ER.

We get to charge

thousands of dollars.

ROBERTS:
If they pay.

All right, we got blood in

the gutter around the sigmoid.

Moderate tone.

Uh.

Moderate tone?

That's funny.

X-ray.

I think it's in 4.

We had a multiple car crash.

The blood, that's

not an issue?

- I'll go check on the x-ray.

- No, Sam.

You stay here.

New girl, you go.

Hey, watch the wires.

I'm watching.

Hey, we need a spinal

team in here, stat.

Why them?

Just I think we had

intestinal bleeding.

We need a trauma surgeon.

Hello?

Take it easy, mack.
