:20:04
lf it were my friend,
l don't know if l'd be that cool.

:20:11
The potassium was what?
:20:13
One-eight? Are you sure?
:20:15
lt must be a mistake.
:20:19
Honey, l'm sorry.
:20:20
l know you two were really close.
:20:25
Susan?
:20:32
There doesn't seem to be
anything unusual in the chart.

:20:35
Normal 28-year-old patient
in good health for a D and C...

:20:39
...underwent telothane anesthesia,
comes out in irreversible coma.

:20:43
lt's well-documented
that telothane causes liver damage...

:20:47
...and severe side effects in
a small percentage of surgical cases.

:20:50
-That's just the risk of anesthesia.
-l know you're upset.

:20:54
l'm not upset.
:20:57
You think because l'm a woman,
l'm going to be upset. l'm fine.

:21:02
l want to understand the variables
as they apply to this patient.

:21:05
l'm sure you agree that's indicated.
:21:07
''This patient''?
:21:08
Here we have an ordinary,
uninteresting case...

:21:11
...of surgical reaction to telothane
anesthesia in a healthy patient.

:21:16
As far as l can tell,
there are no unusual aspects...

:21:19
...except that the patient
was tissue-typed.

:21:22
Tissue-typed for D and C?
:21:24
There's got to be some mistake.
:21:26
Here it is. No name on the slip
and no billing number.

:21:31
That's not the first time the lab
ran a test on the wrong patient.

:21:39
Let's go home.
l think you're tired.

:21:43
l think l'd better check
the tissue-typing lab.

:21:47
Why?
:21:51
Nancy's problem was not caused
by wrong lab tests.

:21:57
l know.
:21:58
Honey, you're grabbing at straws.
