00:01I'm a doctor.
00:06Dear Dad,
00:08I've decided to get off the road for a while.
00:11I've taken a night job at a hospital and met some really nice people.
00:15Feels good to have my feet on the ground, to wake up in the same bed every night.
00:20Who knows, maybe I'll even find someone to settle down with.
00:27Harvard Medical School?
00:28Top of your class?
00:31Southern California Children's Hospital.
00:34Well, that's a pretty impressive resume, Dr. Connors.
00:37Well, unfortunately,
00:39the only thing I need is an emergency room supervisor for my midnight to 8 a.m. shift.
00:47Someone to babysit six interns and 20 nurses.
00:51But, um...
00:52How about that, that you'd be interested in that?
00:57Well, in the past, they've always let me choose my own nurses.
01:03Dr. Connolly?
01:06Dr. Harris?
01:07Present.
01:09Dr. Ashland?
01:11Dr. Connors.
01:13You gonna take roll every night?
01:15Yes, I will, Dr. Ashland.
01:17And if you're gonna be late, I suggest you bring a note.
01:21Ms. Bassman?
01:23Ms. Mace?
01:25Ms. Strong?
01:28Nurse Brown?
01:31Nurse Sanford?
01:3330 milligrams of codeine every four hours.
01:36Runs faster than 60 drops a minute until we calculate the fluid requirements.
01:40What do you estimate the degree and extent of the burns, Gilbert?
01:44Second and third degree burns over about 20% of the body's strength.
01:47Second and third degree burns over about 20% of the body's surface.
01:50Do you concur?
01:51I concur.
01:52Let's get him out to pediatrics.
01:55Nurse Sanford, your nurse's station's down.
01:58Nurse Sanford, your nurse's station's down.
02:01Hello, Brenda.
02:02Hi, Dr. Connors.
02:04You need to sign me?
02:14Do you notice anything different about me, doctor?
02:16Your brace is off.
02:18I've been trying to show you all night.
02:22Wow.
02:23Good job.
02:25So did it hurt when they took them off? Mine felt so weird after.
02:27I keep rubbing my tongue over them. I can't stop.
02:31They're so slippery.
02:32Feels good, though, doesn't it?
02:33Yeah, it feels incredible.
02:46Hi.
02:48I'm sorry.
03:01Dr. Connors to the ER. Dr. Connors to the ER.
03:05Shouldn't you go?
03:06No. No, no.
03:08They have a staff doctor in the emergency ward. We'll be fine.
03:17What if he's in surgery?
03:21Do you really think I have to go?
03:23I'll clean you, Dr. Connors.
03:42Gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?
03:46Bicycle accident. Fractured tibia about five inches below patella.
03:56Dr. Harris.
03:57Yes?
03:58Do you concur?
04:00Concur with what, sir?
04:03With what Dr. Ashland just said. Do you concur?
04:08Well, it was a bicycle accident. The boy told us.
04:12So you concur?
04:14Concur?
04:15I think we should take an x-ray, then stitch him out and put him in a walking cast.
04:22Very good, Dr. Ashland. Very good.
04:24Well, you don't seem to have much need from me. Carry on.
04:31Really? Did not. Why did not concur?
