Ato Essandoh: Isidore Latham

Quotes 

• Dr. Connor Rhodes : I envied you today. Making those decisions clinically, not letting your emotions interfere.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Dr. Rhodes, are you saying you envy my autism?

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : A little bit, yeah.

• Sharon Goodwin : Because of emergency surgeries, and a pregnant mother's serious bleeding disorder, we have used almost all of our O-negative. We can either treat Benjamin or Josh, but not both.

  Dr. Will Halstead : Benjamin needs an angio emolization more urgently than Josh needs surgery.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : How can you say that? Josh isn't compensating for his blood loss as well. He's in worst shape.

  Dr. Will Halstead : I understand you're trying to protect your patient, but you're being emotional.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : [insulted]  Emotional? And what are you being?

  Sharon Goodwin : Our recommendation needs to be based solely on clinical criteria. So I'm handing it over to the triage team.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Dr. Rhodes, your opinion?

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : I have to agree with Dr. Halstead that Benjamin needs angio embolization more urgently than Josh needs surgery.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Not the issue. We're here to decide who has the best chance of survival, so...

  Dr. Connor Rhodes : Unfortunately, even if Benjamin gets the embolization, there's only a 15% chance that the bleeding in his pelvis will stop.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Exactly. Whereas with Dr. Manning's patient, as the pressure in his thighs builds, the bleeding will eventually slow. Worst case, Josh loses a leg, but there is no question he has the best chance of survival.

• Dr. Isidore Latham : Dr. Choi, what are you doing?

  Dr. Ethan Choi : Putting in an IO.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Can I speak with you?

  Dr. Ethan Choi : Hang on one second. Almost...

  Dr. Isidore Latham : Now.

  Dr. Ethan Choi : [to April]  I'm in. He's 95% TBSA. Calculate his fluid based on Parkland, and run everything through the warmer.

  April Sexton : Copy.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : [stepping outside]  I thought I told you to make him comfortable and move on.

  Dr. Ethan Choi : Dr. Latham, standing by while a patient dies is not in my job description.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : He has full thickness burns over 90% of his body. There is no chance of recovery.

  Dr. Ethan Choi : He's awake, talking, lucid, not in any pain.

  Dr. Isidore Latham : As you well know, he's not in pain because his cutaneous nerves have been destroyed by the burn. Very soon, his organs will begin to shut down. He is going to die. And treating him will only take resources away from patients who have a chance of survival.
