Wait. Wait. Let me just-
Let's get Daddy! Everybody get Daddy!
Let's get your Daddy!
It's not me. It's the camera.
- It's not working.
- If the camera doesn't work well...
then I'm gonna take it home with me.
- Oh, look at you.
- Oh, my God. Ohh!
Oh, my God. I can watch them all day long.
Hi, Papa.
What are you thinking?
That I'm happy.
Michael, you're on the air.
Yeah, my kid goes to school
in Staten Island...
They got these new hockey masks
and they shatter on impact.
You want to sue somebody.
You sue that knucklehead.
Michael, Michael, Michael. They're
flushing your tax dollars down the crapper.
- What's the matter with you?
- They shouldn't be making things like that.
I took the kid to the doctor
and the doctor told me-
As Henry Altmann waited in traffic...
on the way to his doctor's appointment...
in small cars to things he hated.
On his short list was also
dog crap, car alarms...
indecipherable parking signs,
double baby strollers...
ass-crack fashion, men's cologne...
bubble gum, bicycles, hamsters...
garbage trucks, neighbors,
metal hangers, TV remotes...
greeting cards, flip-flops,
fliers for cheap haircuts, fat people...
pigeons, The Weather Channel,
smell of urine, new mothers...
credit card offers,
blocked phone numbers...
big umbrellas, F train, J.F.K., B.Q. E...
A.T.M. Service fees,
99 Cent Stores, radio personalities...
networking, Starbucks, the Knicks...
the Knicks, the Knicks...
and God.
What the hell?
I ask you, what the hell?
That was a red light you ran!
Can't you tell red from green?
You took the test, right,
when you got your driver's license?
Remember that? Multiple choice,
number two pencil, dirty walls?
And what does red mean?
Does it mean "go"?
Does it mean slam into my car,
is that what it means?
- It-It was yellow.
- Oh, yellow!
Oh, yellow like your cab
or yellow like a daffodil?
Like a pretty little daffodil?
Does daffodil mean step on the gas
and hit my car in your country?
Is that it? Is daffodil your excuse
to f*** up my life?
Destroy my tranquillity?
- I- I- I- I...
- I- I- I- I...
No, I am gonna get your license revoked...
and have you sent back
to wherever the f*** you're from!
- Racist!
- Racist?
How can I be a racist?
I don't know what race you are.
- Uzbek.
- Uzbek? You're right.
I hate Uzbeks.
I hate them all. But particularly you!
You dead.
What? What did you say?
You too, mother-
As Sharon Gill
stared at the woman and her pet-
She was consumed with grief
over her own cat, Harold.
Three days ago,
Harold had jumped out the window.
Afterward, she learned that
this was not uncommon with cats.
The fact that Harold landed on his feet
10 floors below was of little consolation.
Oh!
Sharon understood
that Harold was a trigger.
That she was emotionally exhausted.
Ohh.
Still, caring more for
a dead cat than her sick patients...
was clearly a case
of clinical depersonalization.
Open.
Wider.
Excuse me.
No one had ever mentioned this reality...
when she was a bright,
shiny medical student.
Uh, Doctor?
When she believed she was going
to save the world one patient at a time.
Doctor.
No one told her
that care does not equal need.
Care being finite, need being endless.
Doctor! Move, man. Move.
What care equals...
is 15 minutes per patient.
- Doctor, Mrs. Fine is in 4.
- Who?
Mrs. Fine! She's one of
Dr. Fielding's patients...
who you're covering, remember?
And we got Wong in 3
and Peterson in 9.
Okay, all right.
Listen, I just need a minute.
- But she's been in there over an hour!
- Uh-huh.
Sharon wondered, not for the first time...
if poor, dear Harold
hadn't made the right choice.
Yeah, it's me.
Aaron there?
Haven't seen him.
Did he leave me a message?
Nope.
Just tell him I'll be a little late
for the meeting.
Mr. Altmann.
I don't know when!
When I get there!
The doctor will be in to see you
as soon as she can.
He. Dr. Fielding is a he.
Yeah, well, Dr. Fielding has been
called away, unfortunately.
So Dr. Gill will be covering
his patients today.
- When?
- As soon as she can. She's very busy.
Now, please, put that gown on!
I don't need a gown!
I'm just meeting him... Her.
Oh.
What the hell?
I'm asking, what the hell?
I've been waiting here for over two hours.
I'm very sorry, Mr. Altmann.
It's just been a bit crazy.
- Who are you?
- I'm Dr. Gill.
I want Dr. Fielding.
I understand,
but he was sent away on an emergency.
Emergency. Bullshit! He just wanted
to get a jump on the weekend.
Sir, I was able to look over your scan...
Are you even old enough
to practice medicine?
Has Dr. Fielding gone over
the results with you?
No.
No, as in he hasn't called?
He thinks it's migraines.
I have headaches, bad ones.
- When did he say that?
- When I was here last.
That was before the scan?
Yeah.
What?
- Can you please sit down?
- Why?
- Because I would like for you to sit.
- Why does it matter?
- Because I need you to sit down.
- I need to stand.
Fine, stand.
The results showed a brain aneurysm.
Wow.
Mr. Altmann...
do you know what a brain aneurysm is?
My uncle died of one.
One minute he was brushing his teeth,
the next, he was dead.
Didn't even have time to rinse.
It's a ballooning-out
of an artery wall in the brain.
- And when it pops?
- That would be a hemorrhagic stroke.
