You read my book, dr.

Twice, actually.
I don't know how you read it once.
It was boring as hell.
Are you kidding?
The part about using army ants to
close a wound-- that was
I taught you the ant trick.
Funny you didn't put
that in your little book.
Car crash way up in the mountains.
Ohh! Oh, thank you, god!

I'm fine.
Look, breathe it out, mi amor.
Okay.
How far apart are the contractions?
Sweet mother of
Okay.
Not far.
This is not happening.
This cannot be happening.
We were on our way to the airport.
We were gonna fly out sooner,
but we're in the peace corps.
We had to finish rotation.
Supposed to be having the baby
with my family in new york.
I'm afraid that's not gonna happen.
Ohh.
Even minor accidents can
jump-start labor, and you're
Well on your way.
We've gottage.
All right, change of birth plan.
I can roll with it.
You?
okay.
Ohh.
Ay, dios mío! Baby, it hurts.
Oh, wait, wait.
Your ipod.
It's in the truck.
No, roberto, leave it.
It's fine.
No, it's got all your birthing music.
Worked my *** off making that mix.
wait! Roberto! Wait, wait! Stop!
Aah!
Robbie!

I'm okay!
Robbie.
Okay, I need you

Distal neurocirc intact.
Okay.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Femur's broken.
Okay, that's a massive tree.
There's no way we're gonna
move that without a pulley.
She's in active labor.
Three minutes apart.
We can't wait.
We gotta get her back now.
Go, please.
Just don't worry about me.
Just take care of syd and the baby.
Okay, then push 4 of morphine
and a liter of saline.
I'm gonna send out a rescue
team as soon as we're back.
no, no, no, no, no!
I'm not leaving without him.
Oh, my god.
Baby,
I'll be right behind you, baby.
Just remember what the baby books said.
I never read the baby books!
Okay, okay.
Forget 'em.
Look, you can do this, syd.
Look, don't worry,
okay? We'll get him back to you.
Let's do this.
okay.
Look, it's our first kid, and she's nervous,
And she apparently didn't read
the baby books, so if you like
Your colleagues,
better get me outta here fast.
what are you doing?
You guys don't have a filing system,
So I'm setting one up.
You know, most hospital error
Is caused by inaccessible medical records.
we had a system.
It was my system.
okay.
So then why is, um, ruiz before peña?
Because there are over
a hundred patients here
By the name of peña.
It's not alphabetical.
It's by village.
Oh.
Yeah.
Smart.
why don't you just go take the night off?
Just hit the festival,
connect with the community.
That's half of what practicing
medicine here is, anyway.
Partying isn't gonna make
me a better doctor.
It's--
No, but it just might get
that stick out of your ***.
Oh, my god.
is that still a contraction?
okay.
I was, uh, gonna read the books.
I was.
I-I-I just figured
That since I thought roberto
would be here with me
That he could give me, like,
a- a cliffsnotes version of them.
It's just what we do,
you know? I impulsively get things
Like babies and electronics,
and he reads the instructions.
He's the prepared one.
He, uh, set up this whole
amazing birth plan
The baby looks good.
Normal cephalic lie.
Music and aromatherapy
Ay, americans and their birth plans.
The plan around here is to squat
in a bush and get back to work.
Baby's heart rate's dropping.
90.
Late decels.
Let's get her on her side.
What's going on?
Your baby's heart rate is
decelerating after you contract.
He's not tolerating labor.
It means that we're gonna have
to do an emergency c-section.
Okay?
I'll tell him.
Thanks, lily.
Good news.
Your rescue team is on its way.
They're battling muddy roads,
but they'll be here.
Wait.
How-- how's sydney?
Um
The, um, baby's heart rate is dropping.
So sydney is gonna need a c-section.
Oh, d.
She must be freaking out.
You gotta get this thing off me.
No.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Look, when the rescue team
Gets here, they're gonna
have this big pulley system.
They're gonna get this thing--
screw that.
Let's rescue ourselves.
What, did you just cut a
tree down with a machete?
What tree? It's a lever.
Help me out.
All right, let's do this.
Okay.
All right.
Lever time.
You have to, uh, take off your shirt
To
Move a tree?
It's really hot here.
You push down on the lever.
I'll get roberto.
okay.
Okay.
Ready?
Hold on.
Easy.
Y.
On three, ready? Ready.
One, two, three.
Aah!
Oh! Got him.
Splint the femur.
All right.
All right.
there you go.
All right.
Get what you want.
I guess we're gonna make it out, sí?
Well, I didn't want to say anything,
But missing your wife give birth
Is, like, years of free back rubs.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Pulmonary hemorrhage.
get suction.
Looks like you took a blow to the chest
On your way down the hill.
That why it hu-- it hurts when I breathe?
Yeah.
It's called a pulmonary contusion.
The trauma you took to your chest
Is causing bleeding in your lungs.
We need to get you back to the clinic
And put you on oxygen.
I'm gonna go call the rescue team.
You-- you like her.
What?
No, I I- I like a lot of girls.
You must be cleaning up down here.
This place is kind of awesome.
There's hot doctor chicks,
Hot tourists coming in
almost every single day.
It's kinda great.
Like an all-you-can-eat
international buffet.
exactly.
I used to be like you, hermano.
I was a lawyer in mexico city.
Made some money, came down here.
All I did for a year was
Surf and screw.
Sounds awesome.
See, uh, I was free.
But I-I was I was aimless.
I- I used to be terrified
of being tied down.
W- what I got in return
Is so much better.
It's-- it's amazing--
Finding that person you want
to give your whole life to.
Sydney-- sydney saved me,
Gave me purpose,
And I never even saw her coming.
You were at the buffet.
Hey, that's my wife you're talking about.
She was on the special sorry.
Arte menu, you know?
Um, question
Okay, english is not my first language,
But I'm sure that was a statement.
And which one of your weird-*** plants
Will make a sorority chick's
hangover even worse tomorrow?
Festival casualty.
You know, I was thinking that
maybe we could stop by later
Or tomorrow, if you-- if you want.
Like a real date?
Are you getting serious on me?
Ay, call it whatever you want.
I just like to dance.
Yeah, see, uh, parties full
of debauchery and drinking
Aren't exactly the best
environment for me
But you go and rumba your little *** off.
With all the lobos you can find.
I'm not the jealous type.
No more questions.
I've got surgery.
Have we heard from the rescue team yet?
I just-- I feel like roberto
should be here by now.
Well, the roads are still flooded, mi vida.
It's slow going.
It'll take hi.
I just can't believe he's missing this.
You know that he even
prepared for a c-section?
He said that it wouldn't happen,
but if it did,
That he would talk me through
it every step of the way.
You know what? Fear of surgery
is a lot like fear of flying.
If you know what t pilot's doing--
That the turbulence isormal--
then it's much easier
To sit back and order a cocktail, right?
I'm gonna tell you
everything we're doing, okay?
Every step of the way.
uh, brenner, this is not a football game--
Running commentary while
the patient's on the table.
Well, I really think it would help her.
Your patient, your call.
Hey, blondie.
'sup?
Ugh, you're sounding like tommy now.
yeah? Cool.
Not a compliment.
Want some cuy? Oh, no.
It's a delicacy.
No, it's full of parasites.
No.
You know, I really thought
americans loved to travel
And eat weird stuff.
No, this american likes to work,
But I've been placed on a time-out.
doctor time-out.
Yeah.
Ohwatch it.
Perdón.
You must be the life of the
party back home, sí?
No, I don't really go to parties.
Pork sandwiches.
Oh, I hope they're using a meat thermometer.
I just had one.
Well, you just had a brain
cyst on a bun, chuck.
Okay, I need a time-out.
Adiós.
ay!
Aah!
Time in.
suction.
Noisy eltric band-aid.
D - dr.
Brenner,
what's going on now?
The grid must have blown.
Zee, tamponade.
Brenner, get in here.
I'm trying.
I can't--
I have an open wound here.
I need you to apply
pressure to the incision.
I can barely see anything.
Get in there and squeeze!
Come on.
Come on.
Ow! You piece of
cole! Cole, I need your help!
Lord, grant me the serenity
la he perdido
He's saying he lost something.
Yeah, it probably his wallet.
He's got bigger things to worry about.
He got hit by a high-powered
d.
C.
Current entering the leg
And exiting the chest.
Explains the power outage.
The exit wound causes shirt to set on fire.
He's got third-degree burns,
increasing respiratory distress.
What's that smell? Is that the burn?
No, that's the taco meat.
Hey, you said get a stretcher.
It was the best I could do.
Festival blew the grid, fried our generator.
We should be going again soon.
fetal heart rate is 140.
We're good to continue.
Any news on roberto?
The rescue team radioed
in while I was out there.
Unfortunately, they never made it.
The truck got stuck a couple of miles t.
So he's still out there?
We've two excellent,
capable doctors with him.
He'll be fine.
They just might take a while.
It's-- it's cold and it's dark,
And he He-- he's hurt,
And-- and he's just laying out there
On the Side of the Road.
oh, my god.
This is crazy.
B.
P.
's way up, 150 over 95.
Sydney, it's not safe to operate,
if you don't calm down.
Please, I I don't even know if he's okay.
Sydney, sydney.
What if we
tried to get him on the radio?
You could at least hear his voice.
It could calm her down.
Please
Then we gotta move.
We gotta get this baby out.
It's okay.
It's okay.
he's barely breathing.
The burns have scarred his skin.
His chest can't rise.
He needs an escharotomy.
What's that?
It's wre we cut through the burned skin
To relieve the pressure.
Get betadine, a cut-down tray,
and two scalpels.
Charlie, get out of here.
You don't want to see this.
Yeah, I do.
All right, fine,
but face the wall and don't peek.
Now listen,
You're gonna go lateral and inferior.
Ready?
Will it hurt? He won't feel a thing.
He's burned off all his nerve endings.
Did I say "turn around," charlie?
He took a jolt big enough
to blow the town generator?
I can't believe it didn't kill him.
It's crazy it didn't kill him.
Instead of wondering why it didn't kill him,
Let's make sure it doesn't, okay?
No encuentro
Encuentro
No encuentro
He's still saying he lost something.
No se preocupe, senor.
Encontraremos
Pulse ox is 78.
He's drowning on his own secretions.
Where the hell is the rescue truck?
It's not coming.
They're coming.
They went off the road.
It's gonna be a while.
He's gonna pass out soon.
We're gonna have to bag him.
I know.
is the truck here?
No.
I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen.
It's gonna get a little harder to breathe,
And then you're gonna pass out,
but that's-- that's okay,
Because we're gonna breathe for you.
And when you wake up,
you're gonna be at the clinic
With your wife and your son.
Max.
Hmm? His name's gonna be max.
That's a great name.
No, it's not.
I like diego.
But since I'm missing the whole thing, name.
I guess
The woman should probably get her way.
There it is.
All right, I'm in.
yeah?
Clark.
How's the patient?
His wife wants to talk to him.
That's not gonna happen.
He's in respiratory failure
from pulmonary contusions.
We took his airway.
Ãgreat.
It's all we could do, ben.
Look, until the rescue team
gets here with the truck,
It doesn't look good.
Hey, listen, did-- did he say anything?
Something that I can pass on to sydney?
Uh
Max-- he-- he said sydney
could name the baby max.
Why?
Hey.
D-did you-- did you reach them?
He did want to talk to you,
but we lost the signal.
is roberto okay?
Well, he's not the
happiest camper right now.
It's pretty chilly out there,
and he's got one broken leg.
But he did say you could name the baby max.
He did? He's been fighting me
on that one for nine months.
What do you say we get this
show on the road then, eh?
So your husband can meet max.
Thank you.
so everything's
Mm, fine, yeah.
Everything's fine.
Let's do this.
Say g'day to max.
Hi, baby.
Hi, max.
You have a beautiful baby boy, sydney.
What's wrong with his skin?
Bilirubin's got to be over 30.
I'm starting an umbilical line.
What's wrong with him?
He's severely jaundiced.
He may need a transfusion, sydney.
You take over.
Your baby's gonna be okay,
sydney.
We just
Sydney?
She's losing consciousness.
Oh, my god.
She's bleeding out.
Okay, massage the uterus, use 20 of pit.
We don't have suction without electricity.
Okay, we'll use lap pads then.
Will that beugh?
It has to be.
We don't have a choice.
pulse ox is up to 94.
The kid's exhausted, but he's getting air.
There's gotta be something
going on with this guy.
Anybody else would be a
fried chicken right now.
I'm gonna run a differential and then--
You didn't shock him just so you
could go back to work, did you?
Hey, had to ask.
Oh.
All right.
all right.
Tengo que regresar.
He wants to go back to the festival.
I lost He perdido mi amor allí
The love of my life.
Okay, sir, you're very sick.
Just try and relax.
ÿqué pasó?
I have seen her every year
At the festival.
She's Linda.
Beautiful
Always wearing Blue
Pero m-muy torpe.
Como peter parker
Pero sin los poderes de una araña.
He says he's like peter
parker with no spider powers.
I think he's delirious.
Mm.
Yep.
He's running a fever,
And he's got a crazy low heart rate.
Have you talked to her?
El año pasado por fin tuve el
valor de hablar con ella.
Last year, he finally got up
the courage to talk to her.
Hablamos por horas de los cómics.
Nos enamoramos.
They talked for hours about comic books.
They fell in love.
Pero cuando la fui a comprar una bebida
But when he went to go buy her a drink
Perdí en la muchedumbre.
He lost her in the crowd.
W- what's her name? ÿcómo se llama?
No sé.
I never ask.
Pfft.
Well, that was dumb.
I'm more concerned about your fever
And your low heart rate,
so I'm gonna run an e.
K.
G.
, okay?
Okay.
That one
Doesn't have a single
romantic bone in her body.
B- lynch sutures in place.
Well, it looks dry.
Yeah, I think we got it all.
How's the baby?
Not good.
He's headed for
brain injury or death
Without an exchange transfusion.
He's b-positive.
So is sydney, sí?
Well, yeah, but she just
lt half her blood volume.
She needs a transfusion herself.
We have any b-pos?
Not enough.
We need a live donor.
The father.
If sydney and
max are both b-positive,
Then he should be compatible.
Tsí,fand since he's a relative,
the baby's less likely
To have a transfusion reaction.
Sounds like our best shot.
It's our only shot.
absent doll's eye sign.
Try a corneal.
Pulse ox is 55.
He's brain-dead.
This was all we could do.
Time of death
Yeah.
Clark, how is he?
We called it.
Damn it.
How long ago?
Less than a minute.
Hey, does he still have a pulse?
What? I Pulse!
Does he still have a pulse?
What? Yeah.
Yes.
Okay.
Start bagging again.
You bring him back here, okay?
You keep his heart beating.
Don't wait for the truck.
You carry him if you have to.
Ben, we're miles away.
That'll take all night.
Look, just get him back here! Why?
His wife and kid-- they need his blood.
bag him.
What? Bag him.
He's dead.
Yeah, respiratory failure a few hours ago.
He never had a chanc
But they've got his heart pumping,
So the blood should be usable.
A few hours ag you mean, before surgery?
Mm-hmm.
You said he was fine,
that he just had a broken leg,
That-- that he would be
here to meet his baby.
I told her what she needed to
hear to get through surgery.
Oh, well, what do we tell her now?
"I'm sorry, but your husband's dead,
And you and your baby both
need his blood to survive"?
that sounds about right.
oh, my god.
poor sydney.
Look, if it had to happen,
It's good that it happened like this, okay?
how is it good?
The guy's brain-dead, all right?
There's no gray area here.
There's no hooking him up to a machine
And hoping he recovers.
She can move on with her life, put it away.
Now I'm gonna go see if she's up.
Are you coming?
I can't believe you.
I thought I
Fine.
I'll go ll her myself.
No! No.
I'm gonna tell her.
My patient, my call.
Hey.
Are you sure this is the right road?
I- I can't even see a damn thing.
It's almost dawn, and
We've only got about 10 more miles to go.
Didn't need to know that.
Whoa.
Hey.
Hey! Hey!
Stop!
I don't think they're gonna stop.
Hey! I don't think they're gonna
hey!

They stopped.

Nice to everyone.

Trust me.

Heart rate's 49.

P.

His pupils are normal.
What the hell is going on with this guy?
Enlarged spleen, fever, bradycardia
What causes that?
Mosquitoes, sand flies, parasites
He-- he says he sometimes by the river,
Watching the water taxis go by,
looking for the girl.
Enough with the romance novel.
I'm trying to save his life.
Aren't there more mosquitoes by the river?
Don't they spread diseases?
Hold this.
What are you doing?
I told you.
Saving his life.
What happened?
How's the baby?
Max is sick, sydney.
He needs a blood transfusion.
And so do you.
You've lost a lot of blood.
Where's roberto?
Is he here?
Roberto suffered chest trauma.
His lungs filled with fluid.
What?
They did everything they could.
His brain couldn't get enough oxygen,
And last night he had a stroke.
And The thing is
They kept his heart beating
Because his blood is a
match for you and max,
And you both nit very badly.
I'm sorry.
I I don't
What are you t-telling me? Are
Is my husband dead?
Yes.
An.
.
You want to put his blood
Inside me?
Yes.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
I know I promised you
That I would tell you everything,
And I didn't,
But now I am.
You and your baby--
You both will die without this transfusion.
Save the baby then.
Let me die.
I can't do it.
I won't let you.
Get out.
Sydney-- I said get out.
Please-- get out! Get out.
Go.
Get the hell out of here! Get out! Get out!
Great news, jorge.
I looked at your blood work.
You've got malaria.
I don't think he gets it.
He gets it.
I get it, but how is that great?
Because it's a unique strain called vivax,
And a small percentaget
Develop a low heart rate.
So low, in fact,
Thathe electric current that hit you
Hit between heartbeats,
and it didn't stop your heart.
Now it also causes an enlarged spleen,
Which could've exploded
and could've killed you.
So, as I see it,
You were meant to die twice over and didn't.
you lucky man! Forget the blue dress.
This is your money story.
He's not lucky.
What?
He's 22 years old.
He's had three broken arms,
four broken toes.
Yesterday, he missed finding
the love of his life
Because he got electrocuted,
and today he has malaria!
He is not lucky!
Sorry.
Perhaps "lucky"
was the wrong choice of words,
But I'm gonna fix you.
Gracias.
Just promise me that at the next party,
You're gonna get the chick's name.
How is she?
Well, we gave her iron
to bring up her counts,
But she still won't consent
to the transfusion.
Sydney.
I'm, uh, I'm dr.
Fuller.
I was in the field with your husband.
I remember.
You said that you'd bring him back to me.
Oh, uh, I've been trying,
And she's just not ready, okay?
so you should go.
Uh I-I did.
What?
I did bring your husband back to you.
All he wanted was to come back to you,
And now he's here, and it
doesn't have to be for nothing.
Tommy, stop.
No, look, that guy loved you
so much that it was crazy.
The way he talked about you--
I- I don't even know
What it's like to feel
that way about a person.
And the last thing he would want right now
Is for you to give up,
Because that would mean
you're giving up on him.
I am so sorry
That I could not save robeo.
I am so sorry that he's never
gonna get to meet his son,
Because he was so psyched to be a dad,
But what he's doing right now for max--
That is being a dad.
he told me that you saved him.
Let him save you.
I don't know how to do it.
I don't know how--
How to live without him.
I know.
It's not easy.
But you just
Do.

And you couldn't handle it.

your palms get sweaty,
Your skin starts itching.
Am I close?
No.
No, actually, I just like to work.
