Refusal Of Care

Neela checks out an x-ray and asks Sam if Benjamin is still around. Sam says that he's actually a law student, and that he had to go to class. Sam tells Neela that if the seizure had gone on five more minutes, she'd have administered the Ativan herself. Remember when Sam hated Neela? That all seems so long ago. Shane comes in and says that Elena is asking for Sam, so Sam takes off.

Sam and Neela head into Trauma Green, where Elena keeps saying, "The bathroom. The bathroom." I guess she has to go to the bathroom. Sam notes a banana bag on an IV stand and asks where it came from. Neela doesn't know. Susan walks in and asks what's going on, and Sam reports that Elena is awake...with an IV. Elena realizes that she has an IV in her arm, and becomes agitated. Neela starts to make an excuse, and Susan quickly asks Neela and Sam to step outside so that she can talk to Elena alone. They leave, and Susan tells Elena that it's okay. Outside, Sam says admiringly, "Wow. Who knew Lewis could start an IV all by herself?" Which is a pretty clumsy line, but given Linda Cardellini's admiring delivery, I think it was just supposed to be a clunky way to let us know that Susan did it.

Luka tells Pratt that they'll run the board as soon as he helps Abby. Pratt says that he has to run up to Oncology first. Oh, poor Sam. How long has he had to sit there with his eyeball hanging out like that? I hope they gave him a LOT of morphine. I think I need a lot of morphine just to watch this scene again. Abby reports that whatever she's trying isn't working. Luka says they need some sort of fancy retractor, and Abby says they don't have one. Luka asks for a paper clip as Abby uses her FINGER to keep Sam's EYEBALL from FALLING OUT AND ROLLING DOWN THE HALL! Jake produces a paperclip, and you'd think they would at least want to run it under a lighter's flame like my mom used to do with a needle before she dug out a splinter in my foot, but Luka just unbends it with his ungloved hand and gives it to Abby. Sam is like, "Don't you have an eye specialist here or something?" and I concur. Instead, Abby takes the paperclip and follows Luka's instructions to, I don't know, jimmy the eyeball back into place and I'm just about over this scene so I hope you don't mind if I gloss over the rest so I can UNPAUSE my recording which right now features A DUDE WITH HIS EYEBALL HANGING OUT. Even Abby is kind of grossed out as Jake talks Sam through it in a calm voice and finally Sam's eyeball is back where it belongs. Whew.
