April: I thought she had anxiety.
Marcel: Hey. You made a diagnosis based on your experience. That's what medicine's all about. A lot of docs get their MDs and that's it. But not you.
Choi: If you broke your leg, you'd treat it right? Mental health should be no different. There shouldn't be a stigma attached.
Dean: It's not that. I don't need therapy.
Choi: You were the commanding officer, always putting everyone's needs before yours. It's time to take care of yourself. Call Dr. Charles.
Dr. Young: I'd like to add an AICD.
Carol: And what is that?
Dr. Young: It's a device that's implanted in your chest that can help regulate your heart. If an arrhythmia develops, it can shock your heart back into a normal sinus rhythm.
Carol: Does it hurt, getting shocked?
Dr. Young: My patients do say it causes discomfort. One patient describes it like getting kicked in the chest.
Carol: Well, who can say no to that?
April: Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, I spent a long time in the COVID ward. I saw patients on ventilators for weeks. A lot of them suffered emotional trauma from their time in the ICU.
Mrs. Forbes: Wait. You think this is all in my head?
April: Considering the stress you've been under for the past few months, it would be understandable if this was anxiety based.
Mr. Forbes: She's not imagining this.
Marcel: No, no one is saying she is. Anxiety, if that's what's behind this, can cause very real symptoms.
Mr. Forbes: You can't do anything to help my wife?
Marcel: We'll continue to monitor her, run tests. But -
Mr. Forbes: BUT WHAT?
Marcel: If all else fails, it can't hurt to speak to one of our in-house psychiatrists.
Sharon: But if she's making herself sick to get your attention, aren't you just rewarding her behavior?
Charles: If not me, who?
Right before COVID, we were trying to get pregnant. I just want to start our family, get back to her normal life.

Nat: You know this guy?
Will: Yeah. One of my trial patients.
Anna: I get that I'm grounded, but why do I have to come to work with you?
Charles: Because we need to talk.
Anna: I thought we talked plenty last night.
Charles: This is the third time I caught you sneaking out of the house. The third time I found your bed stuffed with clothes.
Anna: You never let me do anything! I'm like a prisoner!
Charles: I would like to be able to let you do more things, but that requires a certain level of trust. Pro-tip: If you want to be trusted, don't sneak out of the house in the middle of the night.
