It is definitely interesting to see how Will has changed over the years in his methods and how he practices medicine (perhaps those lawsuits his first few years at Gaffney have taught him a few lessons), but it is also wonderful to see how Dr. She and Will discuss afterwards that while he thought his luck was changing and he was getting a new kidney, perhaps Will’s diligence saved his life and they caught the cancer early. Nellie stays with him for support because his wife is out of town. Halstead informs the surgical team and Isaac is unable to get the transplant until this issue is investigated and he is very upset, asking to speak to his surgeon and nephrologist. Nellie and Will discuss the pros and cons of reporting the situation to the transplant team, and that while this may be Isaac’s only chance to get a kidney, it is unethical to not report it. He refuses an MRI and says he never should have said anything, and begs Will to not run anymore tests so that he can get the transplant he has waited so many years for. They do some scans and it turns out he has a fracture in his back and based on the shape of the bones, it is likely a pathological fracture caused by him having cancer. Nellie encourages him to get checked out while he waits, and he keeps telling them he is fine, but then reveals his back is a little sore. Isaac Collins comes in from a car accident, and was on his way in for a kidney transplant after years of dialysis. It is good to see that Crockett is trying to finally find a balance between relying on his own knowledge and skill and using the new technology for support as opposed to using it to make decisions.ĭr. Upon reflection after the surgery, he cancels his next OR in the 2.0 suite to go back to traditional surgery in order to make sure he does not lose his skills or lose trust in his judgement. Song says to use his best clinical judgement. For a moment Crockett is unsure what to do next, until Dr. Marcel asks the 2.0 for a suggestion but the 2.0 is not able to offer solutions due to a lack of data on this type of procedure. Marcel being a huge advocate for the technology and what the advanced imaging can offer, and Maggie has to pull him back in how much and how quickly he promotes recovery to the patient. Maggie and Crockett discuss if there is a way to save limb with some sort of temporary perfusion like you would do with lungs or a heart and Crockett decides they are going to use the 2.0 to bank the hand to back of leg for a week to keep it perfused and then re-implant it onto the cleaned up stump. Marcel says it is a shame because the hand is in good shape, but the stump will need some time and clean up and the hand would not stay viable. Rob Graham is brought in by his co-workers after he amputates his hand in construction accident.
