The Death of Mr. Lazarescu Page #11

Good morning!

- I've brought a patient.

- Speak with the chef nurse.

The record.

He soiled himself.

We came all the way from Filaret.

Can we bring him in?

- How are you?

- How are we?

Busy, with all that fuss from

the bus accident, but now it's over.

What did you feed him

that makes him stink so bad?

- Is he drunk too?

- Oh, the poor soul, he soiled himself.

Yes he needs cleaning.

- Dr. Zamfir has to see him first.

- What are you saying there?

Let me see that.

He has a subdural hematoma

and has to be operated.

Just a second.

Here are the CT scans, doctor,

What's that a clot, boss?

Yes, Mrs. Marioara.

A bleeding on the brain.

- It's not that serious, is it?

- It's not, but it could be.

This one is pretty serious.

But it's this shade on the liver

that is more serious.

And I'm afraid nobody can fix this,

What is your name?

Please repeat?

All right.

Lazarescu Dante Remus.

I didn't get that.

Why didn't they keep him at Filaret?

He did not want to sign.

He didn't want to be operated.

But I think it's written in the record.

Yes, I saw that, but I don't think that

Mr. Lazarescu Dante Remus understood.

I repeat, understood

what was being asked of him.

Don't tell me he reached this state

on the way over here.

Which is 10 minutes

at this time of night.

It took us longer ma'am.

With getting him out of the hospital

and into the car and then into here

and the road by the river,

it took us about half an hour.

- I see. And you're the driver

- Yes,

Nice to meet you.

Have a seat over there and have a rest.

No thanks, I'll stay here.

- Are we sending him to Neuro?

- Yes, of course.

- Have you recorded his data?

- Yes.

- Anyone with him?

- Yes, a sister.

She's coming from Targu Mures tomorrow.

I mean today, at 6 a. m.

It means he has no one.

I dont understand why

they haven't kept him at Filaret.

Did you show them the results,

or you kept them for yourselves?

Of course I showed them,

but the patient didn't agree.

Don't worry, nobody will ask

for his agreement anymore.

Write him down with Glasgow 8

and call the Surgery.

- How come its so quiet?

- The shift is almost finished.

We had our daily serving of junkies,

drunks, traumatized, don't you worry.

Hold on.

Yes, hello.

Put Anghel on. Anghel.

We had those from the bus crash

as well. Tough day.

Are you finished with the lady

so she can leave?

Yes.

Mrs. Marioara, call those boys

to take him and get him to pre-op room.

Doctor, I'm sending you an SDH.

He comes from Filaret.

- Is he with someone?

- He has a sister.

He has a sister that will arrive

from Targu Mures, around 6 a. m.

He has a sister that will arrive

from Targu Mures.

Yes, it's pretty bad.

I wrote him down as unconscious.

Right away.

an alcoholic, but I know he does drink.

Left temporal.

Now, of course.

If I don't send him now,

I won't send him at all.

- Can I have this stamped?

- I can't find the stamp.

Here it is.

- Thank you.

- Take him to pre-op.

Mrs. Marioara, take-him,

clean him and shave him for surgery.

When she's ready, take him

and teleport him to dr. Anghel.

Are we clear?

Come on, quick.

Thank you, good evening.

Wait!

Look how dizzy y I am.

Take these and drop them to Anghel's.

Where are you going?

You're done.

They left with our stretcher ma'am.

We'll leave him in the pre-op room,

take our stretcher and go.

Don't we have any stretchers?

Ours are upstairs

and one is in the operating room.

- Just to get him upstairs.

- It won't take long.

We'll take him upstairs

and get down right away.

Don't forget the papers.

Let me pass.

Here you are.

They will operate you, to cure you.

Stay still, don't move.

Put him there.

Watch his head.

These are Mr. Lazarescu's clothes.

I'll get the cover off and we'll go.

Mrs. Marioara, you cut his hair and

shave his head. And fast, if possible.

God, what day we had

with that bus accident.

- Can you manage?

- Yes.

These people, driving

with no care for the others.

- Yes, you're right.

- I'll be outside, having a smoke.

Out of 14,

only 3 are in better condition.

Good Lord!

It was like in the war,

Like the '77 earthquake.

Has the driver survived?

I don't know lad.

How could I know which was the driver?

Two more days like this and

they can put me in hospital too.

Come on Mrs. Mioara, I'm done.

Alright, good evening.

Watch his legs, he has varicose.

My respects.

What did you do pops?

Look at your legs.

Easy.

Get him a cover.

Give me the alcohol.

There you are, handsome.

He's ready, Virgil!

Virgil!

Come and take him to Anghel!

I can't stay with him here

any longer.
