We come at it from many angles, we confer... DOCTOR: After assessing her, we immediately initiated orotracheal intubation. Thankfully, it hasn't affected her heart at this point. We don't know the exact nature of the infection yet, but we got her on a broad spectrum of antibiotics. ...battling critical infection centering around the costodiaphragmatic recess. Our theory is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. Staphyl... Hold on. That's a "P"? Yeah. That's an "F" or a "P-H"? P-H. No. It's staphylococcus... [ Overlapping chatter ]

They're good at medical stuff. This is a medically-induced coma. This is their specialty. Maybe. You know, it might be a good thing. Like, she might wake up with a new skill. Like, my cousin, uh, blacked out once, and then, when he came to, he thought he knew a different language. - Did he? - No. Apparently, it was... It was just gibberish that he made up.
