Dr. Shaun fails in his efforts to save a baby | The Good Doctor

Obvious metabolic disorder. No evidence of head trauma or pneumothorax. No mucus plug in ET tube. No transient tachypnea in the newborn. PGE is the right dosage. Sean, what? It's expired. Call the pharmacy. We need more PGE, but from a different lot. The PGE, it's expired. We need... The pharmacy says we don't have another lot. Our entire supply's expired. Prep for catheterization. We might be able to keep the PDA open with a stent. Alprostadil. We need to run PGE at 0.1 micrograms. Tell the pharmacist to mix 10 vials of 50 micrograms of alprostadil with 10 milliliters of saline solution. Mix 10 vials of 50 micrograms of alprostadil. He says that's the wrong medication. Where are you going? It'll be faster if I do it myself. You know this is for erectile dysfunction? Yes. Calprostadol is the same drug as PGE, but in a different concentration. We need to run the IV at 0.056 milliliters per minute. That will give the baby 0.1 micrograms per kilogram per minute. Pushing 0.1. Restarting compressions. His membrane's still blue. Oxygen saturation's not registering. We just need to give it more time. Hold compressions. Pulse not palpable. No, push 0.2 of the solution. Restarting compressions. No, push 0.2. Dr. Murphy, the baby is flatlining. There's nothing more we can do. No, I can save her. Sean. Time of death, 1823. Saline made cuts. We're behind on inventory. It just fell through the cracks. Expired, expired, expired. Sean. No. It wasn't your fault. Please, please. You lied to me. I can't trust you, and I can't marry you. Sean, Sean. You're hyperventilating. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Take a deep breath now, okay? Take a deep breath. There you go. You can't talk to me. Dr. Glassman, you are an awful best man and a terrible mentor. You said you would never abandon me, but that's a lie. A lie. That is a lie. Why is everyone lying to me? Why? You should have been running the hospital if you had the baby, would not have died. I got you. I am so sorry for what you all must be going through. I can assure you I've begun an extensive review of pharmacy inventory policy. And I will do everything in my power to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. If there's anything that you need, counseling, paid time off, just someone to talk to, I'm available. Thank you. As I'm sure you know... A lawsuit is a possibility. We need to use the utmost professional discretion in our communication with the baby's mother. We're all very aware of our professional responsibilities. I just felt a reminder. Whatever you're thinking of doing, don't. She's going to lecture us on professional responsibility? A baby's dead because of our narcissistic need to be a disruptor instead of an administrator. You're furious. I get it. Take a day off. Take a personal day. Let her make the first move. She is who she is. Which is the owner of this hospital and your employer. And she has more experience in corporate and legal matters than you. And if you go up against her in a fit of rage, you're going to suffer the consequences. I'm taking her down.
