- Daniel Charles: Trust me, I know how busy you are. I really appreciate you making the time to check in.
- Ethan Choi: Only way to cross it off the list is to get it done. Like dealing with expense reports, managing doctor-nurse staffing levels, let alone a distribution plan for a possible COVID vaccine.
- Daniel Charles: Wow. A lot of stuff.
- Ethan Choi: Yeah, but I can handle it.
- Ethan Choi: Dr. Charles, I got a patient for you. Todd Lowry, 43, plastic surgeon. He's been operating on himself, a lot. Doesn't think twice about the risks.
- Daniel Charles: Interesting. Doctors, we know best, right? Keep diagnosing ourselves, writing our own scripts. Been guilty of both myself.
- Ethan Choi: Sure, we take some liberties, but Todd is way past that. These aren't just Botox injections, they're invasive operations.
- Daniel Charles: Let me have a chat with him, check back with you.
- Sharon Goodwin: I wish I could help every patient. But the honest reality is some won't be able to be saved.
- Nurse Doris: You can let Commander Choi know treatment rooms are being turned over within ten minutes, as ordered.
- Sharon Goodwin: Maggie, you've got to understand. Auggie has a rare blood type and no family to reach out to for a direct donation.
- Maggie Lockwood: Sharon, please don't be an administrator right now. You're my friend. Just level with me. How long might it be before Auggie gets a liver?
- Sharon Goodwin: I'm not sure. Gift of Hope oversees the transplant list. The hospital has no influence over that process.
- Maggie Lockwood: But you know the system inside and out. Experience must be giving you some kind of a gut feeling.
- Sharon Goodwin: Auggie's not critical, so I imagine at this point, he's low on the list.
- Maggie Lockwood: So we have to wait for Auggie to get sicker. And the donor's liver is gonna be hard to find.
- April Sexton: I know you had to make a deal you didn't really want to.
- Will Halstead: End of the day, it's about saving lives.
- Ethan Choi: Lives are at stake, Dr. Charles. I have to be effective at what I do.
- Daniel Charles: Yeah, but what if that's not always possible?
- Ethan Choi: So what? I'm just supposed to give up? Accept failure?
- Daniel Charles: No. Accept being mortal.
