o no. El más alto es el apuestas, más difícil la elección.
- ¡No! No! - Las enfermeras se enfrentan cada día.
No! No! Por favor, no lo haga, señor!
Vamos a hablar un poco.
Mi nombre es Lobo. ¿Cuál es tu nombre?
Tenzin. Yo me vine de último aliento de aire fresco.
A La Derecha, Tenzin. Por favor, paso a off. ¿De acuerdo?
- Venga. - Dios mío,
¿qué es eso?
Qué maravilloso
para conseguir un presagio.
Qué hermoso día para morir.

Estás en pediatría. Estás en la oncología. Ashley! Golpeó la sala de emergencias.
Gracias por acompañarnos, Miss Knight. Mañana mani-pedi, era?
Llegar a neuro. Naz y Hoyuelos son apoyar a las enfermeras para el día.
Y El Lobo...
Bueller? Nadie?
Bien, cuando él ambles en, le digo que él está en la UCI.
Vaya. Las personas enfermas no espere.
- La vida. De la energía. Gracias. - ¡Buen día!
Mi nombre es Grace. Estoy va a ser su enfermera.
Estoy feliz de decir que su Resultados de los rayos X volvió claro.
Parece que fuera de la caída ileso.
Sin embargo, la neurología no quiere tomar un vistazo a usted en función de su enfermedad de Parkinson.
Eso es una buena cosa, ¿verdad?
- Ya lo creo que lo es. - ¿Cómo te sientes?
Bueno. Creo que sólo tuvo un susto.
No te preocupes. Vamos a tome el buen cuidado de usted.
- Hey! - Oye, Mamá.
Oh, te ves bien alguien que acaba de realizar una inmersión.
- Vine directamente desde el aeropuerto. - ¿Quién es usted?
Que es esto? Jerry?
No me refiero a que... yo... no...
- ¿Cuándo ella como esta? - Jerry?
Estamos esbirros para el día.
- Usted suministros necesarios? - Gracias, sí,
usted sabe, acaba de lanzar en el armario de suministros. Lo siento, estoy muy ocupado.
Bien, ustedes son buenos para ir.
Acaba de venir a vernos en a dos semanas. Y no hay más
samurai manejo de la espada con la los cuchillos de cocina, bien, chaval?
Llevar esto por seis semanas, a continuación, compruebe de nuevo con nosotros.
Hola, señor. Puedo ver en el gráfico
que no has visto nosotros aquí en un tiempo,
pero usted está sufriendo de abstinencia de la heroína,
así que voy a empezar usted en la metadona hasta que el doc
- consigue un buen vistazo a usted. - Yo no estaba destinado a estar aquí.
¿Por qué estoy aquí de vuelta? Por qué?
Bebe esto, te vas a sentir mejor en un minuto.
A la derecha.
Necesitas descansar ahora, Tenzin.
Para qué? El largo sueño por delante?
Usted está atrasado. Y no te en su cama la última vez que revisé.
Bueno, él estaba tomando un poco de rotura del cuarto de baño.
Fue trasladado a cuidados paliativos
debido a que el tumor en su corazón es inoperable.
Él puede tener sólo un par de días,
así que usted es el uno-a-uno con él todo cambio.
Mantener el dolor medicamentos que fluye y mantener el oxígeno en la lista.
Primera vez en paliativos?
Sólo estar allí para él. Eres su wingman el día de hoy.
Su trabajo es mantenerlo tranquilo y feliz.
- ¿De acuerdo? - Sí, está bien.
¿Me puede hacer un inmenso favor?
Nada. Estoy aquí para todo el día.
He trabajado en cuidados paliativos por muchos años con mis hermanos
en el monasterio. Hemos utilizado ritual
viajar conscientemente a la muerte.
Yo esperaba volver a casa para morir, pero...
el tiempo no está de mi lado. Voy a morir hoy.
Hey, no puedes... te no se puede saber con certeza.
He visto lo suficiente para saber. El aura de la muerte está sobre mí.
Mis hermanos traerá ritual té y voy a ir en un viaje.
- Un viaje? - Hacia adentro.
- Psilocibina es el ingrediente principal. - Setas?
Hemos utilizado durante siglos, pero es mal entendido aquí.
Also, you know, it's not legal.
Will you protect me
from interference so that I may have a good death?
Damien. Dr. Reyes
wants to bump Barb Gelson to the top of the imaging line.
She's showing abrupt cognitive decline.
- I'll send word. - What's going on there?
You heard about the merger, right?
They just had a press conference.
Lawyers from the three hospitals are meeting all day
- with the new CEO. - Who's that?
The Chief of Surgery from the General,
Dr. Hamilton.
Didn't you use to work together?
Grace?
Grace, are you all right?
Hi. Yeah, no, of course.
You look like you saw a ghost.
Maybe I did. It's nice to see you.
I haven't seen you since we talked in my office.
I don't know what you're going through,
but if you need to tell me anything,
I'm here and I will support you in any way I can.
You should be the one to make the decision.
- I think I just had a fright. - They were right.
Michael, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened.
- It's okay. - How are you feeling now?
I was just confused for a moment.
I hold space for that. Confused is valid.
- Confused is okay. - Jerry.
- None of this is okay. - Your blood pressure's high.
Has she been taking her Parkinson's meds?
We had concerns about side effects.
Hallucinations, mood swings, body spasms,
so we held off. Right, babe?
Why would you ignore medical advice? Why would you do nothing?
We're doing plenty. Walking, a movement program,
- dance classes... - Dancing?
My god, this is elder abuse.
Some people do hold off to medicate early Parkinson's.
In certain cases, the efficacy can wear off over time.
We were waiting till it was necessary.
- Well, we're way past that point. - That's up to Barb.
I need some fresh air.
Mom, would you like anything from the café?
Let's get you up to imaging.
The brain scans will help you decide the next best steps.
What's the effect of the magnetism in the MRI?
Is it like radio waves in cell phones? Aren't they harmful?
- Is it dangerous? - No.
Not at all. It measures the structure of the brain,
like a CT, but it allows us to see function,
all of which will help us give you the information that you need.
When is the neurologist expected?
I wanted to discuss with him the neuroplasticity work we've been doing.
Oh, you're a doctor?
No, no, no, no.
I think of myself as more of an explorer,
an advocate for alternative approaches.
I mean, there's great stuff on YouTube. You'd be surprised.
I have paged Dr. Reyes.
He will be in to help answer any questions you may have.
Hey.
Oh! Hey!
I... I wasn't looking you up.
- Okay. I believe you. - I wasn't.
Okay, good. I mean,
- I know it might seem that way... - Not at all.
- Yeah, 'cause I wasn't. Good. - Understood.
Uh, did you want something?
Okay, kiddo, let's go. What do you know?
Stayed at a buddy's last night and drank this.
Bourbon mint liqueur in mud?
- It's called alcohol poisoning. - Yeah. Apparently she went AWOL.
Her friends called 911 when she went unconscious in a park.
Seems like she's coming out the other side now, but...
- you know. - What's going on? Where am I?
You're safe. You're at St. Mary's Hospital.
No. No, I can't be here.
My mom... You can't tell my mom. Sinead.
Sinead O'Rourke. She'll destroy me.
So I had to bring the burglar in. Moron cracked his femur
falling off the balcony. Guy offered a wad of cash
for a private room, though. I'm in the wrong game.
You're giving me ideas, Arlo. Work your own hours, no taxes...
Not sure I'd look good in a ski mask, though.
Hey, uh, I was wondering: You ever get a Saturday night off?
- You okay? - Yeah, uh...
Would you look at all this? I'm so behind with my schedules.
- Okay, uh, should I let you get back to it? - Yeah.
Yeah, okay. Uh, we'll be back
to take that guy downtown once you fixed him up.
- Have a good one. - 'Kay.
- Sinead, hey, look, I need... - Hang on a sec.
Hamilton's already sent three henchmen over,
asking for spare rooms for meetings... Spare?
So I'm supposed to sacrifice patient space
so they can talk merger mumbo-jumbo?
Get a room in a hotel. Can you go and tell them that?
I'm not doing your dirty work. Anyway, God has spoken.
Dr. Hamilton? From the General?
- Yeah, our new CEO. - He hasn't been here 5 minutes,
he's already a giant pain in my ass.
You wanted to tell me something?
Yeah, uh...
I'll get back to you.
Hey. Did you hear about the new CEO?
- What are you gonna do? - What do you want me to do?
Nothing, just... Are you okay?
Hey, look, I know we're not tight,
but I want you to know I've got your back.
Whatever you need.
Mostly, I just need to escape.
I can't help you with that, but I might know some people.
Hey. I thought I might run into you.
Kabir? What are you doing here?
Uh, we're meeting your lawyers all day.
- Why haven't you answered any... - I've just been busy, that's all.
Hey, um, I've got a break coming up.
Maybe we can get together?
Storage closet, 7th floor, across from imaging. Okay?
Okay, sure.
I got sidelined, so you get a reprieve.
- Please, you can't tell her. - Look, I sympathise, trust me,
I have been there. I drove my family crazy
with this sort of thing, but they are legit insane.
- You don't understand. - Ella,
your mom's been around the block.
I mean, sure, she'll be pissed, but you'll be fine.
It's not me I'm protecting. It's her.
If it comes out that I messed up, that I was here,
there could be serious consequences.
Please, just take my word for it and let me go home.
You're putting me in a tough position.
Please.
Okay, look, I'll hold off saying anything,
but you're staying here until you're feeling better.
Okay, the issue.
A holy man's dying wish: take illegal substances on my watch,
in front of me, until he dies... today.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm sorry, what illegal substances?
Shrooms. It's like a ritual,
preparing for, you know, the end.
- Look, I'm not good with this stuff. - What stuff?
Terminal stuff. And his patient wants to get high.
Isn't that, like, right up your alley?
Okay, it's not the drugs. Sure,
breaking the law isn't totally my jam, but it's the dying part.
I don't know if I can be there when it happens.
You're working in palliative care.
- Oh, I get that it's a problem. - Drugs, okay, let me hear it, my man.
Okay, so he wants to take like this...
magic mushroom tea. It's a spiritual thing.
Okay, well, that could destroy a career. Also, prison.
Yeah, I've heard about those palliative monks.
They know what they're doing, but
it's not illegal if it's religious, right?
- Tell that to the judge. - If it makes the guy happy...
People sneak their own drugs in here all the time, eh?
Yeah, why torture yourself? I mean, you know you're gonna do it.
You always want to make people feel good. So just do it.
Look, I gotta go.
I've got Sinead's kid in the ER with alcohol poisoning
and a supposedly rock-solid reason why not to tell Sinead.
Can you guys keep an eye out for Mommy Dearest and cover me?
Yeah, we got you.
Right?
Minion call.
Okay, so...
Oh, I gotta go.
Here, have that. Hang in there. You'll be fine.
Hey.
Okay, hold on. How are you?
Good. I'm good.
What is going on?
What, you're not in the mood?
Grace, I've missed you.
What's going on, Grace?
What, you don't know how a booty call works?
Of course I do. Jesus.
- Are you angry with me? - No.
Yes.
Maybe. I don't know.
This is the first time that this has felt like...
like an affair. It feels dirty.
Yeah, for you.
Whatever. I gotta go.
Okay, fine.
- The whole situation is messed up. - Yeah, it is.
And guess what? You don't get to have the girlfriend experience
when you've got a fiancée at home. So for us,
dirty is where it's at.
Well, a little twist in the tale.
It seems that your cognitive lapses were not Parkinson's related.
You suffered a small stroke,
which is probably why you fell down. Now, you can recover from this,
but I'm concerned that your high blood pressure
puts you at risk for another stroke,
so I would like to prescribe some Lisinopril long-term
and get that BP down right now with some hydralazine,
- if you'll get that in the IV. - Hm.
We were hoping to address this issue with diet and exercise.
- And yet here we are. - The stroke came out of nowhere.
- She hasn't been taking care of herself. - That's not true!
Your blocked emotions are distorting your perceptions.
We're all victims of toxic masculinity...
What are you talking about, you washedup hippie piece of...
- You wanna get personal now? - Why does she listen to you?
- I'm her soulmate, Mike. - Don't you call me...
You call me that one more time, I'm gonna punch you right in the face.
- You see? This is what I mean. Toxic... - Enough!
Enough! Out! Out!
Okay.
Just wish my guys could get along.
Mrs. Gelson, I understand
why you held off on the Parkinson's meds,
but would you be willing to try them now?
They might give you some relief.
Who knows what would happen, though?
Side effects and whatnot...
And if you don't like it, we can stop.
I know they prescribed you Lisinopril a year ago.
- I only take it when I feel stressed. - Doesn't really work that way.
You know the great thing about Jerry?
He makes me feel like I'm the same person I always was. Like myself.
Not Parkinson's Lady.
It's true, you aren't your illness
or your blood pressure, but they do require treatment.
So how's it going in here?
Uh, I stabilised him with methadone.
Sorry, I have to administer a painkiller in B12.
Sinead, I'm so sorry to bother you...
We really are. You are so busy.
- We have a patient up on the... - 7th floor.
Yes, and we're not sure, but it looks like he has
- a very severe case of gangrene... - Gas.
- Well, which is it? - Well...
- you see how we're... - Confused.
- Could you take a look? - On the 7th floor.
Tenzin, my friend.
Brother, we must say farewell to our friend.
Three people at our hospice are dying and we are needed.
Tenzin's tea.
I was meant to accompany him on his journey;
will you go in my stead?
Thank you.
Your tea, sir.
Wonderful.
You sure this is okay?
The psilocybin dose is safe.
Your friend said
he was meant to go with you; what did he mean?
Usually, a guide will take the trip with the dying.
But... I'm not afraid to go alone.
No. No.
You shouldn't be alone. I am your wingman.
My brave friend.
Perhaps we were fated to take this journey together.
Is this what we studied years for?
This is harder for me.
My brains define me.
Well, I'm not loving it either. Just keep an eye out for Sinead.
I'm just saying,
Ash shouldn't ask us to lie to Sinead about her daughter being here.
Where? Where is she?
What? Who? Sorry, we were talking about...
- What was I talking about? - Right, uh, she was just saying that...
Tell me the truth right now or you will pay a steep price.
Your daughter came in
with alcohol poisoning, but she begged Ashley.
- Where? - B12.
I'll come back for you.
You're fired.
Go. Get your things. You're done.
I'm on to you.
It looks like it's them fighting over you, stuck in the middle,
but it keeps the spotlight off of you refusing to make choices.
What difference does it make?
- I have a disease with no cure. - Sometimes there isn't a cure.
There's only what we can do now to take care of ourselves.
You have early-stage Parkinson's.
It can advance slowly. You can still have
good quality of life with treatment.
And you also had a stroke, so you need to treat
your high blood pressure, and we can start that right now.
I'm just scared.
I know. Baby steps, okay?
Why don't we try with the hydralazine first?
Hm? What do you say, Mrs. Gelson?
Code blue! Code team, now!
- No pulse. - Starting compressions.
Let's get on the airway.
Prep the paddles, please.
200 joules.
Did she take the hydralazine?
- She almost agreed to it, but... - Too late.
So, uh, what are the next steps?
I'm afraid there are no next steps.
As Dr. Reyes said, she suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke.
She's in a coma and we're not seeing any significant brain function.
At the moment, the life support is keeping her alive.
It's up to the family whether or not to take her off of it.
Well, she stays on the life support.
People come out of comas.
Unfortunately, her condition makes that unlikely.
And if she did come out of it,
it would be with almost no capacity to function.
- We have to let her go. - No.
- I'm her husband, Michael. - And I'm her son, Jerry.
So what are we supposed to do? We have joint power of attorney.
- That's not gonna... No! - Michael, surely we can...
So who decides? A doctor?
Well, we have a consent capacity board
for situations where people can't...
Call them.
It's a really difficult process to go through.
I don't care. Call them.
Is he high yet?
He's getting there. So am I.
What?
I couldn't let him do it alone.
Do you have a career death wish? What are you doing?
Well, he needs me.
And I can... handle myself.
I believe you, man,
but we don't want you to get fired.
That's why you're gonna cover me.
We can try, but I warn you, we have a mixed record on that score.
Why do I feel like I'm working
for the resistance today?
All I'm doing is hiding people and covering their asses.
You guys...
look amazing right now.
Like, so vibrant.
Wow.
This is really happening.
Just... ride it out, bro.
Okay.
Ella?
Hey, you.
Something wrong?
I just got fired.
Okay, I said I didn't date coworkers,
but you didn't have to go that far.
What the hell happened?
It's kind of a long story. Uh...
My boss Sinead's daughter...
You know what? Whatever it is, it's bullshit.
You're good. Let me see your discharge papers.
- I don't have those. - Did you get any paperwork?
Did you even go through HR?
Then you're not fired. Go in there, get your job back.
You can't fire me. I am a great nurse and you know it.
She was trying to protect you
and there is something called patient privacy.
Not for a 14-year-old kid. You need to grow up.
Being a good nurse isn't about being a patient's friend,
it's about giving them the care they need,
and a teenage girl needs her mom.
Kids make mistakes, and you know what? Maybe I did too,
but if you remembered what that's like,
maybe you wouldn't be such a hard-ass.
Those poor people.
Look again.
So much pain...
But so much love.
The magnificent paradox.
We can't have one without the other.
But I'm ready to let it all go.
- Wolf! - So, Damien,
- uh, I need your help. - Time to descend to the underworld!
- Heh, heh! - If I don't get canned first.
Can you try and talk one last time? These mediations
can be cold and clinical. You've been through enough.
- Fine. But you stay. - Barb always said
if she got sick, she didn't want to linger.
Being herself was important to her.
Stubbornly so. It's why she was such a bad patient.
- So this is her fault? - You saying it's mine?
- Guys, um, maybe I should go. - This is...
No, no, no, no, you stay.
You're the worst thing that ever happened to her, Jerry.
No, Michael. I'm the worst thing that ever happened to you.
- We should take a step back. - I'm just saying,
you were her little man and I came along.
You didn't make things easy,
but she never helped us
- figure things out. - And now we never will.
Let the board decide.
It's just right in here.
- What's going on? - Oh!
Oh, it's a consent capacity hearing for my patient.
They're making a decision now.
- Hey. - Sorry, I gotta go.
- You got pulled into this? - Well,
I work consent capacity at the General, so...
yeah.
It's my patient. It's my case.
It's a tough one. I'm sorry.
Grace, we could be more than we are.
It wouldn't be easy,
but I could figure it out.
Is that what you want?
I don't know.
I try to hold on, and I try to let go.
I'm sick of how things are,
but I don't know what to do to fix it.
You should get back.
What is it, friend?
I had, uh, leukemia as a kid,
and uh...
when I was in the children's ward, every few weeks,
a bed would just...
a bed would just suddenly be empty.
Like the kid just...
disappeared.
Do you know how scary that is?
Nobody said anything.
Guess they didn't know how to talk about it.
I was terrified.
And I hate it.
I hate it for what it took
and for what it takes.
How can you be so happy about death?
It's not right.
Not right.
Not wrong.
Not good or bad.
Just another change.
You messed up.
Big time.
But I suppose you get to make mistakes.
Sorry, Mom.
I got your back.
You don't have to be so careful.
Maybe the...
hardest thing about being a mom is realising
that even though you want to,
you can't protect your kids from everything.
Including yourself.
I'm in recovery.
A few years back,
I fell off the wagon and...
lost custody of the kids.
Had to claw them back by being...
bloody perfect.
As if that were possible.
Now they feel they have to do the same.
What are you doing here? Your shift isn't over yet.
The board will have a decision soon.
You know, I've never been in the position that you are now.
But I did have to face something that I didn't ask for.
And no matter what I do, the outcome is...
hard.
But I think it's something I have to face.
Your mom wanted so badly for things to stay the same.
But they can't.
The board is ready.
Grace? Is that you?
- How are you? - Fine. I'm fine.
I just wanted to check in.
It's a shame about what happened at the General,
but everybody makes mistakes. It's just luck of the draw
if they go unnoticed or not. You were unlucky.
But this is a good hospital.
I feel...
honoured to be a part of this merger.
You did well to land here, Grace.
So I hope we're gonna be okay.
What are you looking at?
What are you bloody well looking at?
Are you all right, sir?
What's your name, brother?
Brian Foster.
Professor Brian Foster, father.
What do you want to tell me, son?
We would rather be ruined than changed.
We would rather die in our dread
than climb across the moment
and let our illusions die.
I love Auden too, Professor.
A fine confession.
Mom, uh...
it's me.
I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay.
And I hope you are, too.
So I guess you got your job back.
Which means we're coworkers again.
Yeah, you know, it was kind of nice when we weren't.
So what are we gonna do?
Boundaries.
Draw a line right here and...
don't cross it.
- What happens if I do? - Hey, I'm serious.
De acuerdo, bueno, soy sólo va a pasar por encima de esta línea
muy rápido, ¿de acuerdo?
Eres hermosa.
Bien, estoy de vuelta ahora.
- Totalmente profesional. - Mm-hmm.
- Esto está sucediendo, ¿no es así? - Sí lo es.
UH oh. Estoy en problemas otra vez?
Probablemente. Ir de entonces, me invite a salir.
- ¿Quieres ir a cabo en algún momento? - Seguro.
Eso fue un sí.
Quieres que conduzca?
- Sólo bromeo. - Oh...
Ha sido un viaje maravilloso.
Por favor alguien tome esta cosa de las manos?
Usted sabe, es un poco ... que poco se parece ...
Come te fue?
Uh, gobernaron por mí.
No te gusta.
Pero se veía después de ella todos estos años.
Usted debe ser el que para tomar la decisión.
No.
A ella le gustaría que usted decida.
Sí, ahora veo.
Tenemos que dejar que se vaya.
El Dr. Reyes asigna el orden.
Voy a administrar medicamentos para el dolor
a la señora Gelson
para mantenerla cómoda,
y luego, cuando esté listo, Apagaré el ventilador.
Preferimos que se arruinaría cambiado,
pero cada día nos parece a la cara que la elección
