03 - Start Me Up

[ZionHarris]

It’s the day that her baby, Luke, might take his first steps, and not only does Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) have to work, she has to babysit Junior Resident Dr. Cassie Williams (Kim Shaw, THE GOOD WIFE) while doing it. To make matters worse, their patient is worried his colon cancer has returned and isn’t too excited to have two young doctors on the case. When things get complicated in the OR after Cassie panics and nicks a bile duct, Alex has to talk down her young charge to save their patient’s life. Meanwhile, Dr. Shahir Hamza (Huse Madhavji) takes on a patient whose trip to Paris to move in with her boyfriend is put on hold because of acute facial pain and an ibuprofen overdose. In the E.R., Dr. Zach Miller (Benjamin Ayres) and Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) treat a janitor who turns out to be an old friend of Joel Goran’s (Daniel Gillies), while Dr. Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross), Alex, and Dr. Patrick Curtis (Max Bennett, Anna Karenina) begin to jockey for position when a Fellowship prize is announced.

Some good medical storylines and character insights this week.

Dawn and Shahir both in love again

Loved the opening scene with Charlie, Alex and Luke. Sorry they missed his first steps but at least it was caught on tape, and that was a sweet thing Cassie said to Alex about helping her with her first steps.

Cassie in the OR reminded me a bit of how nervous Alex was in her first surgery with Charlie. I assume we'll learn more about the other residents in the near future.

Glad Maggie is sticking around.

No idea how the Crenshaw story is going to end. Want to feel for him but he still may be hiding information. Think that story wraps up next week, so we'll see how it turns out.

Just watched so taking everything in.... this was a good episode back to storylines about the patients and how they help the doctors...

I think I will go and watch again and see about things as loads happened...

At the end the scene with Charlie, well just wow, Michael Shanks so good.
Enjoyed episode although did have a 'oh no here we go!' moment with the patient with MS, I have MS, my experience never get told that quick, maybe I should move to Canada.

[Dr K Harris]

Well she did have a specialist stood there... and they can't tell you until they have taken out all of the other options which is why they don't say until everything else has been cancelled out.... I had the same thing with my ME had to rule out everything and then say it was ME. Took about 9 months... although the doctor and I knew we still had to do the tests to make sure.

I only got diagnosed finally after brain scan showed more than 3 leasons on the brain, because one episode does not mean MS, but that was 12 years ago and I did not have Shahir as my doctor

Yeah, I think MS was their guess, but Ava still had some testing to go through.


Good luck with your fight.

Shahir once again with the line of the night...

"You seem different...are you on medication?"

Dawn was great with Shahir, loved that she was so open and helpful with him.

Glad she's found someone as well for the moment. When Dawn's happy, everyone else is too.
