Back to Hapless Howard, who is asking Luka for advice and then answering his own questions immediately, interpreting the quiet as agreement. When Hapless leaves, Sam creeps over and gently removes Luka's sunglasses to reveal that he has been asleep the whole time. We smash to the credits hoping that Luka feels guilty when Howard kills a patient based on that silent assent.
Ding! The elevator brings us back into County, where we see that Carter has corralled the med students. He introduces them to Pratt, who has apparently decided that his brain is plenty undamaged. Carter wants Pratt to instruct them on the initial management of chest pain. "All chest pain consistent with ACS gets O2, IV, aspirin, beta blockers, and nitro," Pratt says mechanically and without much energy. A semi-cute student named Urbanus, according to the captioners, asks a question, and Pratt grouchily repeats exactly the same answer. Getting clocked on the noggin hasn't improved his temperament any. Pity. Pratt doles out charts and then shouts too loudly after them, "Make me proud! First one to kill a patient buys me lunch." Then he swings around and makes eye contact with a guy being wheeled into the ER, now looking very green around the gills because he overheard Pratt's remark. It's about time somebody overheard the typical County unprofessional junk. Flee, sad sick man!
