Mina is at the forefront of this surgical procedure. As the resident, well, resident of the Chief of Surgery, she has the honor of presenting the three cases, patient history, and rundown of what will take place in the OR to the hospital staff that are involved.
Conrad and Devon brief the patient and his significant other on what to expect from the surgery. If they're part of the large surgery that the entire hospital is on edge about, it may require more reassurance than usual.
Chastain Park Memorial is taking on a very ambitious project that will have three surgeries taking place concurrently. Bell is in on one of them, and Mina may continue to serve as his mentor, but who is this new doc? Will Randolph be able to play well with others?
Nic will enlist the help of Jude while working on a case. The two have not interacted too much just yet, but this may change everything. Jude knows that Conrad still has feelings for Nic, and basic Guy Code should mean that they don't pursue her. That being said, look at these two! Should Conrad be concerned that this friendly/professional relationship may become something more?
This is a mortality and morbidity conference, Dr. Okafor, to ensure that an event like this--a horrific and preventable medical error-- doesn't happen again.
