Dr. Berman scolds her for opening the man's chest with his wife and kids standing 5 feet away. Anna apologizes and says she should have asked the nurse to send them out of the room. Talks about how in med school they were taught to focus solely on the task at hand, etc. She was the only person in the room that could save the man's life and she can't apologize for that.
Dr. Berman tells her she is excused. She turns and says she heard the patient survived, is that true? Dr. Berman says yes, Anna says good, thank you. The way Anna smiles you can tell she already knew the patient would survive, she just wanted to prove her point.

Janell's room - being monitored. Dr. Moore shows Randy his wife's seizure pattern and tells him she isn't responding to seizure medication and is in danger of suffering brain damage. Wants to put her in a medically induced coma to prevent seizure from damaging the brain, to give them time to figure out what is causing them. Randy is overwhelmed, eyes fill with tears.
