Coma Page #8

is taking your case.

I don't want him.

- Well, how's our patient doing?

- Fine. Just slightly delirious.

That's normal with appendicitis.

Besides, we all know doctors

make the worst patients.

You gonna scrub in?

Dr. Harris, we have O.R. 7

ready for your case.

I wanted O.R. 8.

It isn't ready yet.

- I specifically requested O.R. 8.

- It'll take a couple of minutes.

Well, hurry it up. Our patient

can't wait all night, can she?

You scrubbing in?

Excuse me.

Let me just answer this page, sir.

Yeah, this is Dr. Bellows.

Yes, Dr. Bellows.

It's that serious?

Is what that serious?

I'll be right there.

Dr. Bellows?

We're ready in O.R. 8.

We'll start at once.

Bellows?

Patient on surgical two's

got convulsions.

Join me as soon as you can.

You can take her in.

You certainly are lucky

with Dr. Harris doing the operation.

Couldn't ask for a better man, huh?

- I want...

- Now, now, just lie there.

You're going to have a nice sleep.

Just relax.

Easy, we'll take good care of you.

I found the oxygen line.

It starts in the basement...

... and it goes up the main tunnel...

... and then it plugs in the ceiling

that goes to O.R. 8.

Do we have enough sponges?

We better order some more

4-0 Chromex. We're almost out.

We have to do this one right.

House officers deserve the very best

of care in their own hospital.

I'm giving you Pentothal.

Take some good, deep breaths, dear.

In and out.

The patient's film.

They look normal, don't they?

Pity acute appendicitis doesn't

show up more clearly in the x-rays.

She has an inny.

A what?

An inny. The bellybutton.

Some are innies, some are outties.

Hers is an inny.

Let me know when she's fully under.

She's ready for you.

Scalpel, please.

What's that?

It's a PVC.

There's another one.

Too light?

I don't think so, sir.

Maybe you'd better deepen anesthesia.

Blood pressure's dropping.

I don't understand.

Want me to stop?

Lt'll be all right.

- I'll be happy to stop a moment.

- It's okay, Dr. Harris.

You recommend I go on?

Son of a b*tch! Son of a b*tch!

Here it is.

Looks normal.

Never know it from her symptoms.

It's nice to see the chief

get caught sometimes.

Happens to the best of us.

All right.

- You can bring her out now.

- Right.

She's not coming around.

Just give her a minute.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

I don't know.

She's okay, sir.

She's just fine, Dr. Harris.

Nice case, Dr. Harris.

- Don't let him do the operation.

- I know, baby.

I know.

We're waiting for you, Dr. Harris.
