Quotes 

• Dr. Connor Rhodes : You and Dr. Wheeler were friends?

  Dr. Sarah Reese : No, I hardly knew him. He came to me - twice - asking about pills, about therapy. And that wasn't really what he was asking for. He was asking for help. I don't know why he came to me, but he did, and now he's dead. What kind of terrible psychiatrist am I gonna be?

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : You can't jump in and save everyone, Reese. It's just not possible.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : It's not that I didn't jump in to save him. I didn't even see that he was drowning.

• Dr. Sarah Reese : [in the O.R]  Dr. Rhodes, why did you bring me here? I can't assist on a bypass graft.

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : We're not doing a bypass graft.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : What? But I...

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : Look.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : [looking at the patient's heart]  A ventricular septal defect?

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : From necrosis. Lack of blood flow from his heart attack at the river caused a small patch of muscle to die.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : That's impossible to find. How did you even know to look?

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : You see this discoloration?

  Dr. Sarah Reese : Uh-huh.

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : I missed this once. Guy died before we even got him off the table. I know that you feel like you let Wheeler down, like you missed the signs of him needing help. As doctors, all we can do is learn from that and try not to miss them again.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Sarah Reese : They won't need me in the ED tomorrow, so I'll be back on your service.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Thank you. Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow.

  [Reese hesitates, then enters his office and sits down next to him] 

  Dr. Sarah Reese : Everybody comes to you, don't they? With all their pain? And you just have to absorb it. How are you doing today?

  Dr. Daniel Charles : It was awful. It's just awful.

• Dr. Connor Rhodes : Wheeler came to me, too, Reese, when we had that pile-up in the blizzard and the pregnant woman almost bled out. He took it hard. I had the chance to reassure him, but I didn't.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : All right. I appreciate that you're trying to make me feel better, but it doesn't.

• Dr. Sarah Reese : Your EKG shows ST elevations. Definitely a heart attack. Ever had any heart problems before?

  Jim Kessler : Little chest pain here and there. My doc's got me on some pills.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : Okay, well, he should've told you not to jump in a frozen river. The shock is probably what tipped you over the edge.

  Jim Kessler : Everybody's a Monday morning quarterback.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : I... I don't know what that means, but I do know that we need to assess the extent of your coronary artery disease, so I want to send you up to the cath lab.

  Jim Kessler : Long as there's some hot cocoa in it for me, you got a deal.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : All right. I'll check back in with you soon.

• Dr. Sarah Reese : [about her patient]  He got off lucky. He could've gone into cold shock, V-fib, coagulopathy. What a great but crazy thing to do.

  Maggie Lockwood : He probably didn't even think about it. Just saw a kid in trouble and reacted.

• Dr. Sarah Reese : How did you know he needed help?

  Jim Kessler : What do you mean? He was drowning.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : No, I understand. But what went through your head the moment before you jumped in? Was it... was it an actual decision, or was it more like an instinct kicking in?

  Jim Kessler : I don't know.

• Dr. Connor Rhodes : [a patient is coding]  BP's dropping. ST segments are elevated.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : He's barely got a pulse.

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : He's in cardiogenic shock. It must be another MI. We're gonna balloon pump him. Bolus heparin, start dopamine, dobutamine. Get him on a high flow O2.

  Nurse Doris : Got it.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : I'll tell the cath lab we're coming.

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : There's no time. We're gonna do it here.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : We're...? How will we know if we're in the right place?

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : If he bleeds out, we'll know we punctured the iliac. If he stops breathing, then we perforated into the mediastinum. But if we don't get his blood pressure up right now, none of that's gonna matter anyways.
