00:23Good.
00:24We're going to be seeing a lot of you.
00:25So let me show you around so you'll be oriented.
00:26This is the admitting desk.
00:27If you need someone paged or a chart called up,
00:28you do it here.
00:29This is Timmy.
00:30Don't shake his hand.
00:31He's afraid of disease.
00:32This is the way to the lab.
00:33We do crits, counts, spin-downs.
00:34Chemistries are marked with these slips
00:35and left at the front desk.
00:36Mark everything.
00:37Stat, whether you want it fast or not.
00:38The chem lab is 7022.
00:39The heme lab is 6944.

00:41Everybody gets an IV the minute they walk through the door.

01:24Now, what you want to do is you want to tape it.
01:26Moderate flow.
01:27Two or three drips per second.
01:29That's it.
01:30That's all there is to it.
01:32Okay?
01:33Uh...
01:35Um, okay.
01:38All along here, you have the medical examining rooms.
01:41This is where the pill pushers kill their victims.
01:44But this...
01:47This is the surgical room.
01:49This is where the real action is.
01:54We use this phone to call the O.R.
01:566440.
01:57X-ray is around the corner.
01:59They're a bunch of idiots.
02:00They scare the patients and make them wait too long.
02:02So whenever you can, make sure you go with the patients to X-ray.
02:05Don't let them get scared.
02:07Don't let them get hurt.
02:08Ah!
02:09Here's Dr. Morgenstern.
02:10He's the head of E.R.
02:11Watch out.
02:12He eats students for lunch.
02:14David Morgenstern.
02:15John Carter.
02:16When did that severed hand go up?
02:17A vascular took it up an hour ago.
02:18I just hope they can do it right.
02:20Dr. Benton is one of the best residents we have.
02:22You learn everything you can from him.
02:24Except attitude.
02:26He didn't mean that.
02:27Yes, he did.
02:30Your room will be down here.
02:31That's where you sew people up.
02:32Do you know how to suture?
02:33No.
02:34Okay.
02:35I'll teach you.
02:36Do we have anyone to sew up?
02:37How would I know?
02:38You know, I love this great spirit of camaraderie.
02:41Everyone wants to help, you know.
02:42Okay, here's the suture room.
02:43Let's see.
02:46Good morning, ma'am.
02:47I'm Dr. Benton.
02:48This is Dr. Carter.
02:49Good morning.
02:50Okay, let's have a look.
02:52How'd you do this?
02:53Broke one of the breakfast dishes.
02:55Don't worry.
02:56We'll have you fixed up right away.
03:01Can you feel this?
03:02Yes.
03:03Can you move your finger?
03:04Of course.
03:05It's just a cut.
03:06Dr. Benton, we have a policeman coming in
03:07with a gunshot wound to the lower extremity.
03:09Put him in room two.
03:10Notify X-ray.
03:11I'll be right there.
03:12Now, here's all your stuff.
03:14Ask the patient if she's allergic to locals or any drugs.
03:17And this is lidocaine.
03:18We'll call it novocaine.
03:19They've heard of that.
03:20Ma'am, are you allergic to novocaine?
03:23My teeth are okay.
03:25No reactions, rashes, anything?
03:27No, of course not.
03:28Now, you inject both sides of the wound,
03:30expelling as you go.
03:31And you have to put on surgical gloves by yourself.
03:33You know how to do that, don't you?
03:37Great.
03:38Here we go.
03:41Now, invert the wound edges and space them,
03:43because the tissues will be swelling over the next 48 hours.
03:45Space them the way that you see here.
03:47Dr. Benton, the policeman's here.
03:48Okay, I'm coming.
03:49Here.
03:50You finish.
04:02Okay, this isn't going to hurt at all.
04:11You still here?
04:12What do you think you're doing, assisting Chapel?
04:14Finish her up, start an IV in room 2.
04:16Bye, ma'am.
04:18Nurse, could you bandage this for me, please?
04:20Thank you, doctor.
04:22You're very welcome.
04:23When do I come to have my stitches out?
04:25Oh, uh, three weeks.
04:28Well, my son had stitches in his foot.
04:30They said ten days.
04:31Really?
04:32Well, ten days, three weeks, any time in there.
04:34Okay.
