If you lived underwater for nine months, 25 00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:19,601 you'd have a lot to spit up too. 26 00:01:23,383 --> 00:01:25,908 Is something wrong?

The parents, ofcourse, start freaking, and I have to deal with that for an hour. 46 00:03:06,219 --> 00:03:09,017 Like it was your fault. She was perfect when I delivered her. 47 00:03:09,088 --> 00:03:12,285 If you wanna blame someone, blame the pediatrician. So, how is the kid now? 48 00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:16,624 Bowel obstruction. She's under observation. She'll be fine. 49 00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:19,688 The pediatrician will take all the credit. 50 00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:30,066 Exhibit A: Baby Girl Hartig. 51 00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:32,134 Term baby, 42 hours old. 52 00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:35,306 Went into seizures six hours ago, brought into the intensive care... 53 00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:38,282 diagnosed with obstruction of the small bowel. 54 00:03:38,351 --> 00:03:40,911 I'm still amazed you're actually in the same room with a patient. 55 00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:42,978 People don't bug me until they get teeth. 56 00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:45,320 Exhibit B: Baby Boy Hausen. 57 00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:47,621 Another term baby, 48 hours old. 58 00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:50,788 Brought into the NICU three hours before the Hartig baby. 59 00:03:50,863 --> 00:03:53,957 Fever of unknown origin, 101 degrees, trending upwards. 60 00:03:54,033 --> 00:03:55,967 Wow, that is amazing. 61 00:03:56,035 --> 00:03:58,970 You hung out in the OB/GYN lounge all morning and heard about two sick babies. 62 00:03:59,038 --> 00:04:02,269 - It's-- It's eerie. - Don't touch that. 63 00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:05,334 All right. We have an infection spreading in the hospital. 64 00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:08,903 These kids have totally unrelated illnesses. 65 00:04:08,982 --> 00:04:11,507 They fell sick within four hours of each other. 66 00:04:11,584 --> 00:04:15,611 They had the same delivery rooms, maternity rooms are neighboring, so transmission's possible. 67 00:04:15,688 --> 00:04:18,521 - They have the same symptoms. - The Hartig girl has a bowel obstruction. 68 00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:21,685 No matter how close their beds are, I'm pretty sure kids can't share a blockage. 69 00:04:21,761 --> 00:04:24,252 What does bowel obstruction on a chart indicate? 70 00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:27,060 Normally I'd say it indicates a patient's bowel is obstructed, 71 00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:29,624 but I'm pretty sure you have some deeper truth to impart. 72 00:04:29,702 --> 00:04:34,298 It means that some random doctor of indeterminate skill thinks that the patient's bowel is obstructed. 73 00:04:34,374 --> 00:04:37,468 - Okay, you're upset because they threw you out of their lounge. - Look at the X-ray. 74 00:04:37,543 --> 00:04:41,377 It's a normal gas pattern. If you want, I can get you a key to the oncology lounge. 75 00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:43,438 Air in the colon. We're getting TiVo. 76 00:04:43,516 --> 00:04:45,848 If it's air, no bowel obstruction. 77 00:04:45,918 --> 00:04:48,910 Even if it is air, it could have been there before the obstruction. 78 00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:51,980 No. Something's infected both these infants. 79 00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:56,918 And you're the only one who put this together because-- 80 00:04:56,996 --> 00:04:59,328 Because I'm the only one who looked at both kids. 81 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,061 I want them isolated. I want the maternity ward shut down. 82 00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:04,797 Because you're better at reading an X-ray than a radiologist. 83 00:05:04,871 --> 00:05:09,103 Radiologists always overread babies' X-rays, especially if they're asked to rule out a pathology. 84 00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:12,576 - He read into it what he wanted. - Which is exactly what you're doing. 85 00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:15,876 You're finding a cluster because you think it's interesting to find a cluster. 86 00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:19,247 Two plain old sick babies would bore you. 87 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,083 See, this is why I don't waste money on shrinks, 88 00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:24,646 'cause you give me all these really great insights for free. 89 00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:28,353 Shrink. If you would consider going to a shrink, I would pay for it myself. 90 00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:31,591 The hospital would hold a bake sale, for God's sake. 91 00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:34,064 We have an epidemic! 92 00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:39,537 Two sick babies is very sad, but it doesn't prove an epidemic. 93 00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:47,779 How many do? 94 00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:53,242 Get up.

No epidemic. 104 00:06:37,330 --> 00:06:39,321 Tragic, huh? 105 00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:44,600 Overflow rooms, third floor. 106 00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:47,264 This imaginary infection has spread to the next floor? 107 00:06:48,641 --> 00:06:51,940 We were just gonna call. Did he get hot all of a sudden? 108 00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:55,737 Yeah. 109 00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:01,982 Yeah, I'll take care of that for you. 110 00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:09,717 Almost there, honey. Don't worry. We're almost there. 111 00:07:09,796 --> 00:07:12,321 Excuse me! Hi. Hi. 112 00:07:12,398 --> 00:07:14,889 Intake sent you up here?

I am very, very sorry. 114 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:19,738 Nurse Alpert will arrange for an ambulance... 115 00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:23,242 to take you to Princeton General. 116 00:07:23,309 --> 00:07:26,745 The maternity ward is temporarily closed. We have to leave? 117 00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:29,748 Yes. I am very sorry. Why are you doing this? 118 00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:32,808 You will be there very, very soon. 119 00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:37,420 Happy now? No. 120 00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:40,323 But I am interested. 121 00:07:45,264 --> 00:07:49,496 Three sick babies, and a fourth showing early symptoms. 122 00:07:49,569 --> 00:07:51,503 - How bad? - Spiking fevers. 123 00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:54,039 B.P.'s plummeting. They're barely able to keep systolic up. 124 00:07:54,106 --> 00:07:56,540 - At this rate, they could be dead in a day. - Where did this come from? 125 00:07:56,609 --> 00:08:00,477 Two delivery rooms, four different maternity rooms. No common personnel and no common equipment. 126 00:08:00,546 --> 00:08:03,310 - There's got to be something in common. - Yeah. 127 00:08:03,382 --> 00:08:06,545 That would be the difference between an epidemic and a coincidence. 128 00:08:06,619 --> 00:08:09,713 I'm putting a team together. We're gonna start swabbing. 129 00:08:09,789 --> 00:08:13,725 What's she gonna swab? Every respirator, sink, vent, drain in the entire hospital? 130 00:08:13,793 --> 00:08:15,488 - That'll take months. - Needle in a haystack. 131 00:08:15,561 --> 00:08:18,394 It's worse than that, We don't even know it's a needle we're looking for. 132 00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:23,367 - Then why'd you let her go do it? - Because the hospital is her baby, and her baby's sick. 133 00:08:23,436 --> 00:08:26,701 If she doesn't solve this soon, her head's gonna explode, and I don't want to get any on me. 134 00:08:26,772 --> 00:08:28,706 So let's figure out what's in the haystack. 135 00:08:28,774 --> 00:08:30,901 - Differential diagnosis, people. - Parasite. 136 00:08:30,977 --> 00:08:33,502 - It's spreading too quickly. - Next? 137 00:08:33,579 --> 00:08:37,913 - Virus? - The kids are too sick, and the blood tests showed no lymphocytosis. 138 00:08:37,984 --> 00:08:40,475 And they're not responding to acyclovir or ribavirin. 139 00:08:40,553 --> 00:08:42,851 If it's some other virus, we'll never find it in time anyway. 140 00:08:42,922 --> 00:08:46,858 Which leads us to bacterial infection. 141 00:08:46,926 --> 00:08:51,090 It's not responding to broad-spectrum antibiotics, so we've got something resistant. 142 00:08:51,163 --> 00:08:54,189 - The usual suspects? - MRSA. It's always MRSA in hospitals. 143 00:08:54,267 --> 00:08:56,758 Maybe contaminated food or water source. 144 00:08:56,836 --> 00:08:58,701 Pseudomonas. 145 00:08:58,771 --> 00:09:00,864 V.R.E.? "H" flu. 146 00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,773 Okay. Those are the big ones. 147 00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:07,643 Cultures will take 48 hours. Might as well be postmortem. 148 00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:11,877 We'll start them on vancomycin for the MRSA and aztreonam to cover the rest. 149 00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:17,048 Let's get M.R.I.'s, check for abscesses or some occult infection. 150 00:09:17,123 --> 00:09:21,253 I'll be in the clinic. Grab me if you find something important... or unimportant. 151 00:10:22,688 --> 00:10:27,682 We did an M.R.I. on all the babies, and, unfortunately, we didn't find anything, 152 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,719 so we're starting them on the strongest antibiotics that we've got, 153 00:10:31,797 --> 00:10:35,130 and we're hoping that that will take care of it. 154 00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:37,465 But he's so tiny. 155 00:10:37,536 --> 00:10:39,470 How sick is he? 156 00:10:39,538 --> 00:10:42,632 His fever's up to 103.5, and his blood pressure is 80 over 40. 157 00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:45,142 How, um-- How bad is that? 158 00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:49,104 Uh-- 159 00:10:49,181 --> 00:10:53,015 It-It's low. The heart needs to circulate the blood. 160 00:10:53,085 --> 00:10:57,215 If it's weak, the oxygen isn't getting to the liver, the kidneys, the brain. 161 00:10:57,289 --> 00:11:00,725 Um, I have to ask you something. 162 00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:02,488 Judy-- No, no, Kim. Let me. 163 00:11:03,729 --> 00:11:07,893 Um, I had a cold last month, and I told the doctors about it. 164 00:11:07,967 --> 00:11:10,060 Honey, this has nothing to do with you. 165 00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:12,502 Kim's right. 166 00:11:12,571 --> 00:11:15,165 Your son was born healthy. 167 00:11:15,241 --> 00:11:17,505 He caught the infection after his birth. 168 00:11:17,576 --> 00:11:20,170 There's no reason to think that he caught it from you. 169 00:11:20,246 --> 00:11:24,580 But you don't know. I mean, you don't know how he got sick. 170 00:11:29,655 --> 00:11:33,489 Pretty standard question-- "How sick is my child?" You couldn't answer. 171 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,290 I answered. You rattled off numbers-- B.P., O2 sats. 172 00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:41,697 It's not what they need to know. What they need to know is the future. You got a Magic 8 ball? 173 00:11:41,767 --> 00:11:44,429 No, just eight years of medical training. 174 00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:51,303 Look, I realize it's tough to break bad news to families. 175 00:11:51,377 --> 00:11:53,470 Not as tough as hearing it. 176 00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:57,778 And I guess being the poor guy dying is the toughest of all? 177 00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:00,341 No. 178 00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:03,911 It's easier to die than to watch someone die. 179 00:12:08,294 --> 00:12:11,889 Well, we're checking the vents. It could be airborne. 180 00:12:11,964 --> 00:12:15,024 Somebody get the sinks, too, and underneath them. 181 00:12:15,101 --> 00:12:17,035 I'll get it. 182 00:12:17,103 --> 00:12:20,095 How many med students have you got swabbing the decks? 183 00:12:20,172 --> 00:12:23,073 What else are they gonna do? It's not like they're delivering babies. 184 00:12:23,142 --> 00:12:25,702 You find anything yet? Uh, yeah. 185 00:12:25,778 --> 00:12:29,509 About half the antibacterial gel dispensers are empty or broken. 186 00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:33,245 That's bad, yet diagnostically completely insignificant. 187 00:12:33,319 --> 00:12:38,256 Well, if the staff can't wash their hands, it's no wonder an infection has spread. 188 00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:41,452 Hey! Tie clip! Sorry? 189 00:12:41,527 --> 00:12:46,123 We have an epidemic in this hospital, and your tie is becoming a petri dish. 190 00:12:46,198 --> 00:12:49,656 Put on a tie clip or take the damn thing off. 191 00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:55,938 My joints have been feeling all loose, and lately I've been feeling sick a lot. 192 00:12:56,008 --> 00:12:57,942 Maybe I'm over-training. 193 00:12:58,010 --> 00:13:01,673 I'm doing the marathon, like, 10 miles a day, but I can't seem to lose any weight. 194 00:13:01,747 --> 00:13:04,443 Lift up your arms. 195 00:13:07,219 --> 00:13:09,949 You have a parasite. 196 00:13:10,022 --> 00:13:14,118 Like a tapeworm or something? Lie back and lift up your sweater. 197 00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:17,185 You can put your arms down. 198 00:13:17,263 --> 00:13:20,289 Can you do anything about it? Only for about a month or so. 199 00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:23,494 After that it becomes illegal to remove, except in a couple states. 200 00:13:23,569 --> 00:13:26,163 Illegal? But don't worry. 201 00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:29,139 Many women learn to embrace this parasite. 202 00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:33,372 They name it, dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites. 203 00:13:33,445 --> 00:13:36,812 - Playdates? - It has your eyes. 204 00:13:39,285 --> 00:13:41,219 But that's impossible. 205 00:13:41,287 --> 00:13:44,620 Well, I assume you weren't getting your period. 206 00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:46,658 Maybe that should have given you an inkling. 207 00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:49,421 But I'm on this birth control implant. Yeah, I know. 208 00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:54,296 I saw the scar on your arm. And my doctor said I might not get any periods at all if it was working. 209 00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:57,665 Mm-hmm. Interestingly enough, you also don't get any periods if it isn't working, 210 00:13:57,736 --> 00:14:00,569 which is why you were supposed to get regular pregnancy tests. 211 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:03,733 Oh! I'm gonna send a nurse in here to schedule your prenatal care. 212 00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:07,108 You're due in about five months, so start planning the shower. 213 00:14:08,447 --> 00:14:10,381 Um, Doctor? 214 00:14:10,449 --> 00:14:15,978 Please, me and my husband wanted to have a kid soon, 215 00:14:16,055 --> 00:14:18,489 but, oh, God, 216 00:14:18,557 --> 00:14:22,857 like four months ago, we had this really big fight. 217 00:14:22,928 --> 00:14:27,228 He moved out. I did something stupid. 218 00:14:27,299 --> 00:14:31,065 One-night stand? Ex-boyfriend. 219 00:14:31,136 --> 00:14:34,401 Well, I'll schedule you a paternity test too. 220 00:14:34,473 --> 00:14:36,771 I can't let my husband know. 221 00:14:36,842 --> 00:14:39,276 Does the old boyfriend look like your husband? 222 00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:42,075 Yeah. 223 00:14:42,147 --> 00:14:44,445 Then just have the kid. He'll never know. 224 00:14:44,516 --> 00:14:47,485 The most successful marriages are based on lies. 225 00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:50,283 You're off to a great start. 226 00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:54,588 Well, you look cheery. What's going on? 227 00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:57,458 The Hartig and Chen-Lupino babies, their kidneys are shutting down. 228 00:14:57,529 --> 00:15:00,089 And the urine tests show no casts. 229 00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:03,968 Which means the antibiotics are causing the kidney failure. 230 00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:07,563 You're the nephrologist. Which one did it? We'll take 'em off that one. 231 00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:13,903 - Don't tell me both vancomycin and aztreonam. - They both can cause this. 232 00:15:13,979 --> 00:15:15,970 There's no way to know which one it is. No test. 233 00:15:16,048 --> 00:15:19,381 We can't take 'em off the antibiotics though. They'll die of the infection. 234 00:15:19,451 --> 00:15:21,942 If we leave them on both the antibiotics, they'll die of kidney failure. 235 00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:26,253 So, we take our best guess then. Which drug's causing the kidney failure? 236 00:15:26,325 --> 00:15:30,955 It's like I said, it's always MRSA in hospitals. Take them off aztreonam. 237 00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:34,431 I still think it's the pseudomonas. I vote to take them off the vancomycin. 238 00:15:41,507 --> 00:15:43,498 There's no point in guessing. 239 00:15:46,478 --> 00:15:49,470 Take one kid off vancomycin, the other off aztreonam. 240 00:15:50,916 --> 00:15:54,010 - They have the same disease. You want to give them different treatments? - What the hell are you doing? 241 00:15:54,086 --> 00:15:58,318 - Therapeutic trial, to find the cause of the infection. - That's wrong. 242 00:15:58,390 --> 00:16:01,518 We have four sick kids at least. 243 00:16:01,593 --> 00:16:05,188 - Who knows how many more haven't started showing symptoms yet? - We have a duty to these two. 244 00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:08,700 If these two have different reactions, we'll know how to save the rest. 245 00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:13,204 So you're condemning one of these kids to die based on random chance? 246 00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:22,203 I guess I am. 247 00:16:30,589 --> 00:16:33,990 So you're going to flip a coin? 248 00:16:34,059 --> 00:16:36,118 That's how you decide which baby lives? 249 00:16:36,195 --> 00:16:38,823 Can I borrow a quarter? 250 00:16:38,897 --> 00:16:41,331 Do you want to get sued, lose your license, House? 251 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,460 Well, generally I'd applaud that, but my job is to protect this hospital, 252 00:16:44,536 --> 00:16:47,664 so I strongly advise you to come up with a medical rationale... 253 00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:49,935 why baby "A" should get medicine "X" and vice versa. 254 00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:54,446 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on there, slick. We didn't all go to law school. 255 00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:59,007 Your advice is that I should use medical reasons to make medical decisions? Hmm, that's not gonna be as easy. 256 00:16:59,084 --> 00:17:01,609 Any medical justification. It doesn't need to be a good one. 257 00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:06,351 Well, "Hartig" sounds Jewish, so does aztreonam, so we'll take the Hartig kid off vancomycin. 258 00:17:06,425 --> 00:17:08,552 How's that? 259 00:17:08,627 --> 00:17:11,494 - You can't experiment on babies. - Doctors experiment all the time. 260 00:17:11,563 --> 00:17:15,294 - On adults, with their consent. - Fine. I'll get the parents' consent. 261 00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:19,201 Their informed consent. They have to know the other kid is getting a different treatment. 262 00:17:19,271 --> 00:17:23,139 Sorry. Can't do that. It would be unethical for one patient to know about another patient's treatment. 263 00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:27,338 - They have a right to know. - If they know, they won't consent. That defeats the whole purpose. 264 00:17:27,413 --> 00:17:29,643 That's their right. 265 00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:32,707 Two more babies have just become symptomatic. 266 00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:34,776 I defer to your legal wisdom. 267 00:17:34,853 --> 00:17:39,552 Which takes precedence-- six dying babies or a missing consent form? 268 00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:42,219 You can't do it. 269 00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:50,164 Do what you think is best. 270 00:18:16,628 --> 00:18:19,028 Your daughter's kidneys are shutting down. 271 00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:21,430 Your son's kidneys are failing. 272 00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,525 So we're going to take her off the aztreonam. 273 00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:25,433 We're taking him off vancomycin. 274 00:18:25,504 --> 00:18:28,598 Uh, but what-- what made her sick in the first place? 275 00:18:28,674 --> 00:18:32,542 - What do you think is causing it? - It seems to be a germ called pseudomonas. 276 00:18:32,611 --> 00:18:36,479 We think it's MRSA-- Methicillin-resistant staph aureus. 277 00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:39,574 It's a very resistant form of a very common bacteria. 278 00:18:39,651 --> 00:18:42,119 We're hoping the aztreonam will clear it up. 279 00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:46,123 Vancomycin is the best treatment for MRSA, so we're gonna keep giving it to her. 280 00:18:46,191 --> 00:18:48,955 Is it gonna cure her? 281 00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:56,329 Your child is very sick. You need to know that. 282 00:18:56,401 --> 00:19:00,064 This is a Hail Mary pass. It might cure her. It might not. 283 00:19:05,344 --> 00:19:07,938 So-So, that'll cure him? 284 00:19:09,848 --> 00:19:12,783 We'll know in 24 hours if it's working. 285 00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:31,961 What did you tell them? I told them the truth. 286 00:19:32,037 --> 00:19:35,302 They seemed relieved. Did you tell them how sick their son is? 287 00:19:35,374 --> 00:19:38,775 I explained what was going on. Allison, their baby's dying. 288 00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:41,836 If the parents weren't in tears by the time you left, you didn't tell them the truth. 289 00:19:41,914 --> 00:19:44,576 That's not how I see it. Do you want them blindsided? 290 00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:47,983 Want them coming up and saying, "My God, my baby died. Why didn't you warn me?" 291 00:19:48,053 --> 00:19:50,715 So now it's about worrying about them yelling at us? No. 292 00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:53,553 It's about getting them prepared for the likely death of their child. 293 00:19:53,625 --> 00:19:57,083 If their son dies tomorrow, you think they'll give a damn what I said to them today? 294 00:19:57,162 --> 00:20:01,462 It's not gonna matter. They're not gonna care. Nothing's gonna be the same ever again. 295 00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:04,832 Just give those poor women a few hours of hope. 296 00:20:10,642 --> 00:20:12,576 Dr. House!

She has a problem. 372 00:26:06,164 --> 00:26:09,156 She needs to deal with it. If you hadn't bailed her out, she would have done it. 373 00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:11,566 Great. Then she wouldn't have slept for two weeks. 374 00:26:11,636 --> 00:26:14,332 Maybe she should be thinking about a different specialty. 375 00:26:14,406 --> 00:26:16,340 Lab work?

Aztreonam doesn't kill it. 379 00:26:33,558 --> 00:26:35,822 What the hell is this? 380 00:26:35,894 --> 00:26:39,762 It's a superbug. It could be V.R.S.A. 381 00:26:39,831 --> 00:26:42,356 There's only been two reported cases ever in the United States. 382 00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:45,597 One of the kids, the Hausen baby, had a skin rash. 383 00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:49,902 It could be scalded-skin syndrome, which would be a sign of V.R.S.A. Then these kids are dead. 384 00:26:49,975 --> 00:26:52,034 This is our fault. 385 00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:55,079 Doctors overprescribing antibiotics. 386 00:26:55,146 --> 00:26:57,706 Got a cold?

We can't chase down a virus. 408 00:29:02,073 --> 00:29:05,975 There's a thousand possibilities. We could run gels, antibody tests. 409 00:29:06,044 --> 00:29:08,638 A thousand of them? The kids don't have enough blood. 410 00:29:08,713 --> 00:29:12,706 Chase, you're the intensivist. How many could we do before we risk exsanguinating the kids? 411 00:29:12,784 --> 00:29:16,720 You're talking vials, not stick tests? I wouldn't take more than five or six. 412 00:29:16,788 --> 00:29:22,488 Okay, so we have to narrow the thousand viruses down to six. 413 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,326 Now, the autopsy's shown us what the virus does. 414 00:29:26,397 --> 00:29:28,388 So, let's go. What do we know? 415 00:29:28,466 --> 00:29:30,730 That ribavirin and acyclovir don't knock it out. 416 00:29:30,802 --> 00:29:35,330 - Cross out the herpes viruses. - Also adenovirus. 417 00:29:35,406 --> 00:29:37,237 What else? What else? Keep talking! 418 00:29:37,308 --> 00:29:39,606 Well, i-it only seems to hit children. 419 00:29:39,677 --> 00:29:43,169 - The mothers aren't sick, so-- - No toxoplasmosis, no rubella. 420 00:29:43,248 --> 00:29:45,375 Cross out the entire TORCH syndrome. 421 00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:47,077 - You didn't find any lung damage? - No. 422 00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:50,918 - None of the paramyxoviridae. - Cardiac scarring, people. 423 00:29:50,989 --> 00:29:52,581 C.M.V. 424 00:29:55,994 --> 00:29:57,928 Enteroviruses too, I think. 425 00:29:59,998 --> 00:30:02,432 Eleven. Influenza A. 426 00:30:04,002 --> 00:30:05,993 Flu A. 427 00:30:07,272 --> 00:30:09,263 Yes? 428 00:30:09,340 --> 00:30:11,274 And? 429 00:30:22,854 --> 00:30:25,220 I'm putting R.S.V. down as a yes. 430 00:30:26,224 --> 00:30:28,249 That makes eight. 431 00:30:28,326 --> 00:30:32,285 - Eight vials of blood is pushing it. - Pushing it?

The kids on the floor who didn't get sick-- are any of them still in the hospital? 435 00:30:43,341 --> 00:30:46,333 They got moved to the fifth floor, but they're probably all checked out by now. 436 00:30:46,411 --> 00:30:48,971 No, the Limpert boy had a bit of jaundice. He's checking out today. 437 00:30:49,047 --> 00:30:50,810 I want to test his blood too. Why? 438 00:30:50,882 --> 00:30:53,146 Because we need all the information we can get. 439 00:30:53,218 --> 00:30:54,947 The healthy kid can be our control group. 440 00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:58,978 I'll just tell his parents he can't check out because he has the smallpox. 441 00:31:01,826 --> 00:31:05,819 Stephen Morgan, contact Hospital Administration. 442 00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:10,668 Dr. Paul to the Recovery Room. 443 00:31:14,005 --> 00:31:16,667 All done.

And C.M.V., and parvovirus B-19. 447 00:31:28,186 --> 00:31:31,815 - Three viruses? - But what's weirder, the healthy kid we tested, 448 00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:35,053 he's positive for echovirus 11 and C.M. V. antibodies as well. 449 00:31:40,431 --> 00:31:43,366 They're infants. 450 00:31:43,434 --> 00:31:47,097 They have their mother's blood, their mother's antibodies. 451 00:31:47,171 --> 00:31:49,162 So we've just learned nothing? Uh-uh. 452 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,199 We have half the picture. The healthy kids survived because their mothers' antibodies saved them. 453 00:31:53,278 --> 00:31:58,113 If the mom had C.M.V. in the past, she'd have the antibodies for C.M.V. The kid would be immune from it. 454 00:31:59,417 --> 00:32:03,649 So, we test the sick kids' moms for echovirus, C.M.V. and parvovirus. 455 00:32:03,721 --> 00:32:08,055 And whichever they don't have the antibodies for, that's what's killing their kids. 456 00:32:08,126 --> 00:32:10,117 I'll test the mothers. 457 00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:34,077 Dr. Kent's office, one.

It lodges in the intestinal tract. 460 00:32:58,443 --> 00:33:03,380 Enteroviruses cause diarrhea and flu-like symptoms in adults, maybe a rash, 461 00:33:03,448 --> 00:33:06,042 but for newborns, it can be deadly. 462 00:33:06,117 --> 00:33:09,109 It's damaging her heart. 463 00:33:09,187 --> 00:33:11,246 Well, is there anything you can do? 464 00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:14,780 Viruses are more difficult to treat than bacterial infections. 465 00:33:14,859 --> 00:33:17,123 We still haven't found a cure for the common cold. 466 00:33:17,195 --> 00:33:19,129 So, you mean there's no vaccine or-- 467 00:33:19,197 --> 00:33:22,064 There's a company in Pennsylvania developing an antiviral. 468 00:33:22,133 --> 00:33:24,124 It got positive results in a lab setting. 469 00:33:24,202 --> 00:33:26,932 We managed to get our hands on it. 470 00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:42,444 Imagine not being able to touch your own baby. 471 00:33:46,224 --> 00:33:49,284 Can I get your guys' help with something?
