Wednesdays 8:00 PM on NBCChicago Med Quotes
Maggie: I'm sorry, Dr. Charles. I don't want to waste your time, but I don't think this is for me. I'm a Lockwood woman. We handle things. We don't sit around...
Charles: ...talking about your feelings?
Will: I hear some crackling. Sounds like there's fluid in your lungs.
Booker: That's just how it started last time. I have COVID again?
April: No, your test came back negative.
Booker: Damn it, I thought this was behind me.
That kid is lucky to have you in his corner. You are unshakeable, Maggie.
Nat
Maggie: So what were you and lover boy talking about over there?
Nat: Crockett? I was just asking him about a patient. [after going in a private corner] I slept with him last night.
This is what Michael does. He makes impulsive decisions. I'm all for him getting back on his feet but the ground's got to be sturdy.
Sharon
Will: Exciting day.
Doctor Veronie: I have to admit, I got a little teary-eyed walking in here after all these months.
Will: Yeah I know. Finally feels like we're approaching the other side of this.
Nat: Ex vivo surgeries are experimental. There's no guarantee they will work. But you didn't call me up here to debate this, did you?
Marcel: Natalie, if we don't do this surgery, Isabella dies.
Nat: I'll scrub in.
Sharon: This virus is still killing people, and there are thousands like Isabella who have had their treatment interrupted. I wish I could save every patient, but the reality is there are some we just can't save.
Marcel: The world really sucks right now.
Mayfield: That helps your hospital. Now let's talk about mine. How's 30% sound?
Will: 30% of what?
Mayfield: Your patient enrollment fee.
Will: A kickback?
Mayfield: You could call it that. I call it a quid pro quo.
Will: Call it what you want. It's unethical and I won't do it.
Oncologist: She's very sick. If we'd been able to treat her earlier -
Nat: We weren't.
Oncologist: I understand. And in that time her cancer has progressed to the point that we can't treat it.
[After Oncologist walks off]
Nat: So that's it?
Marcel: She has her opinion. I have mine.
Cancer? I don't understand. I'm only 21. I should have come in as soon as I started having issues. But with COVID... both my parents are high risk and I didn't want to expose them.
Patient
Will: I'm meeting with a cardiologist later this morning and hoping he'll throw me a few patients but in the meantime I'm throwing a pitch at what few patients we've got.
April: I'd like to help.
Will: Really?
April: When I was in the COVID ward, I felt like I was part of something bigger than myself. I want to feel that again.
