Shot Page #2

---

Yeah.

I really got shot, didn't I?

I'm not dreaming.

Where you taking him?

MEDIC:
St. Joseph's.

My back.

My back hurts a lot.

Can't you give him something?

Yeah, we got

something for that.

Thank you.

Saline injection

begun with IV drip.

Two liters saline fusion.

Oxygen being administered

out with 100% non-rebreather.

02 level at 95.

[radio chatter]

JONES:
BP sitting at 90 over 64.

I'm not gonna die, right?

Not on my watch.

Let's get another one.

GARCIA:
Got it.

Have you taken any medications

in the past 12 hours?

Mm-mm.

GARCIA:
Any access to EDMs?

Huh?

GARCIA:
Sex drugs.

Viagra, Cialis,

that type of thing.

Why?

You want some?

JONES:
What's that?

The answer is no.

No time for fun.

[siren wailing]

Hey, you mind driving

a little smoother?

[groaning]

DRIVER:
Don't blame me, man.

It's the road's fault.

How's it coming, Garcia?

Fine, but the driver

isn't making it any easier.

My mom's a better driver

than you, and she's dead.

DRIVER:
Tell you what, how

about I just pull over,

and you can walk the

rest of way, huh?

Hey, you know what?

You ruined our vacation.

Now I don't even feel like

going to the hospital anymore.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

JUAN (ON PHONE):

Hey, where are you?

I'm under a house.

JUAN (ON PHONE):
A house?

We're under a house?

I... I...

I got rid o the gun.

So should I...

JUAN (ON PHONE):

Are you crazy, man?

You go and get

that gun back, OK?

And you don't talk to know one.

Juan, you're gonna

help me, right?

Juan?

Juan?

Can you find my cell phone?

What?

What for?

I need to get somebody

to call the job.

Don't worry about

that right now.

GARCIA:
Is he allergic to...

[groaning]

JONES:
Still hurting, huh?

GARCIA:
Sing a song.

You want me to sing?

Whisper, then.

To keep your mind off it.

What's your favorite song?

(SINGING):
After

you've gone, there's

no denying you feel blue.

Try "row, row, row your boat."

Is that a joke?

DRIVER:
Indulge him!

Makes the ride easier.

Row, row, row your spliff

gently down the scene.

Merrily, merrily, merrily,

life is but a dream.

Ice cream.

Oh, I want ice cream.

He eats ice cream

when he gets upset.

Peanut butter brittle,

mint chocolate chip.

Ah.

Never eat all I want.

Well, promise you'll treat

yourself to some when you

get through this, all right?

Gotta stay in shape.

Hell yeah.

Women like that.

We got problems.

JONES:
Who doesn't?

You want me to call Rick?

MARK:
Rick?

To finish that job?

Rick left two months ago.

I don't understand.

Work hasn't been working out.

There's debts.

I borrowed money from our

house and can't pay the bills.

When?

How much?

I tried to tell you.

Just waiting for

you to find out.

Knew you'd be real pissed.

JONES:
All right, here we go.

Let's get him into Bay 3.

The victim suffered a gunshot

wound entry point in the front

left chest, exit point

a surgical collar in back ward.

The patient has no

medical history.

Allergic reactions to Cipro.

No other known medications.

- Good luck, man.

- That's it.

Look.

Marci, one of the nurses

who'll be working on you.

And right now we're gonna

be running some tests.

Dr. Roberts, your

attending physician.

Can you tell me where you are?

I don't know

ROBERTS:
Your name?

Mark Newman.

You know what day it is?

You have HBO.

That depends.

What day is it?

Not a good one.

Day?

Friday.

Year?

It's 2000 and...

2000 and...

Right, let's lose the board.

2000 and...

All right, we're

gonna turn you over.

Don't move.

3, 2, 1.

[groaning]

All right, hold still.

NURSE:
3, 2, 1.

Try to relax.

Let's get some scissors.

NURSE:
I got 'em.

How's your neck feel in here?

Feel all right?

MARK:
Yeah.

How about this?

MARK:
Yeah.

Oh.

Looks like you're

happy to see us.

MARK:
I'm sorry.

- Don't worry.

It's normal.

You got nothing

to be ashamed of.

Give me his chart.

Squeeze my fingers.

Excellent.

You an official doctor?

Harder.

That's better.

How you feeling?

Not good.

ROBERTS:
Be specific.

On a scale of 1

to 10, what hurts?

My back nine.

A truck hit my office.

Can't breathe.

But hey.

ROBERTS:
You're

one tough mother.

Phoebe?

Phoebe?

Is she your wife?

Ask her.

NURSE:
That her over there?

I'm going to start running

some analgesics into your IV

in a minute to ease the pain.

MARK:
You've done this before.

You're not my first gunshot.

So mack, when you

were shot, were

you're standing or sitting?

Standing.

It's Mark.

Move your legs for me.

Try that again.

And again.

[groaning] I'm dizzy.

Rosa, open up.

It's Miguel.

We're gonna do an ultrasound

now to look inside your chest.

Look, is Juan here?

- No.

- Look, let me in.

- What do you want?

- Look, just open up.

Something happened.

Please.

I have a job interview.

I need to get ready,

and I gotta look good.

Might feel a little cold.

You always look good.

ROSA:
What do you want?

OK, look, just because

I busted your cherry

that one time I was stoned,

you know I'm Juan's chica.

You want Juan to

kick your ass, hm?

Would you hire me?

I hurt someone.

That's good.

Maybe they'll stop

beating up on you now.

If you get shot,

where do they take you?

Did you shoot someone?

Do you have the cops on you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

- I didn't see.

- You gotta get out of here.

No, no, no.

This is not happening.

No, let me stay here, please!

Rosa.

I left the gun.

Just give it to Juan when

you see him, all right?

You don't throw a gun.

You crazy?

What if it goes off?

ROSA:
Go away!

I hurt somebody.

ROBERTS:
A little more

gel on the probe, please.

OK, we're gonna move over

here to the left side.

Just checking the

pleura here to make sure

your left side's as

good as the right.

[beeping]

Hey, hey, easy,

easy, easy, easy!

ROBERTS:
Check the vitals.

I can't breathe...

I can't... I can't...

O2's holding at 89.

BP dropping 70 over 50.

Heart rate 120.

ROBERTS:
All right,

he's hypovolemic,

bleeding internally.

Take it easy, mack.

We're gonna get that one working

better for you, all right?

Let's get the IV started.

Tracheal shift.

Sam, get her out of here.

You have to wait

out there, please.

Do you need help with...

No, help with the chest tube.

OK, I'm just

gonna take your arm.

I'm gonna put it here

behind your head.

Your lung is collapsing

That's why you can't breathe.

I'm gonna need to

put a tube in there.

I'm gonna put some numbing

medicine here on your skin.

Feel that?

OK, you won't for long.

There we go.

Easy does it.

[groaning]

I'll be putting the tube in now.

It'll take the fluid out of

that space squishing your lung.

Almost done.

Hurts now, but you're

gonna love me in a minute.

[screaming]

You're gonna feel a

little more pressure here.

Just a little further

and we're there.

Almost done.

We're good.

I'm gonna hook it up

to the suction pump.
