He resembles a version of Stephen.

He's the third doctor Kyra's job interview will be with. While helping her prep for said interview, you admit that he's a great physician, but pretty much the worst doctor to do rounds with as he loves to give people around him random pop quizzes.

She says no matter what she does or how much she eats, she keeps losing weight. She is also tired all the time.

You discuss her condition with Ethan and try to persuade him to have her come to Edenbrook to get treated, but he refuses because the diagnostics team has never sought outpatients.

If you do the latter, she asks why he has singled you out since you're the least experienced member of the team.

When asked about the bloodied tissues, she mentions having nosebleeds ever since the accident which is unusual for her. You assume altitude sickness although the hotel is only 3,000 feet above sea level. She states that she doesn't take any medicine but admits taking ibuprofen for her headaches. Rodney gave her cortisone cream for the rash. Ethan finds poison sumac at the tree where she hit her head which explains the rash but not the other symptoms. At this moment, she starts having a manic episode and her pupils are slightly dilated. She later starts having a depressive episode. When she develops a fever and increased heartrate, and states she can hardly breathe, you call a helicopter and get her hospitalized. There you find traces of lithium in her blood and Timothy admits that he secretly gave it to her since she is bipolar and refuses to see a doctor about it. The lithium and ibuprofen interacted with each other, causing a chain reaction. The lithium caused her to be sensitive to light, which caused her to slip and hit her head. When she took ibuprofen for the headache, it increased her lithium levels, which lead to hypothyroidism, which caused low hemoglobin, which then caused the altitude sickness, which increased the headaches, which made her take more ibuprofen.

Her character model resembles Anna-Marie Mendoza.



Timothy
He is Paula's son. The way he treats Paula reminds Ethan of his relationship with his own mother. It's revealed that Timothy has given Paula lithium without her knowledge and without her having seen a doctor. He got the lithium from a bipolar kid he knows.

The patient drinks a couple glasses of wine on weekends. When asked about medication, she answers that she takes birth control pills and lately extra strength Tylenol (about ten pills a day) against the headaches. Aurora diagnoses acetaminophen toxicity from overdosing on Tylenol and that the hormones in her birth control contributed. For the symptoms to go away, the patient has to lay off the Tylenol and to drink more water as she is dehydrated which is probably a reason for the headaches. The patient thanks for the diagnosis. She resembles Penny Chen.



Marisa Flores
Marisa is your patient in this chapter. She has hep-C with advanced cirrhosis, currently in sepsis. When you meet her, her palms are red and she is dizzy. She contracted the illness during an accident while volunteering at a drug clinic. Marisa needs a liver transplant as soon as possible but the sepsis is a contraindication. If her condition cannot be diagnosed and cured within 24 hours, the liver assigned to her has to go to someone else. She is on a pretty strict diet because of the cirrhosis. Tests confirm your hypothesis that the sepsis is caused by intestinal cryptosporidiosis, a parasitic disease in her small intestine. However, the time to cure the infection usually takes two weeks. She is prescribed nitazoxanide to help speed her recovery. Baz suggests moving her name up the transplant list and you suggest additional medicine (paromomycin or azithromoycin) but all suggestions are ruled out. The last chance is a spontaneous recovery that Ethan has witnessed in the past but this also doesn't happen. In the end, Ethan has to give clearance to move the liver to someone else.

In the end, you conclude Martha has hypothyroidism, which has symptoms similar to the team's assumptions but it's rare to see the disease as advanced as in her case, which is why the team didn't figure it out earlier.

Andrew Polowsky
Harper brings his case to the team as one of his symptoms appears to be "psychic powers". After much testing and research, an idea sparks in your mind in the doctors' lounge and you discover he has encephalitis caused by a virus.

Instead of dwelling on that, she tries to be the best aunt she can be to her sister's children and volunteers at her local crisis nursery.

After doing some blood tests and a full body scan, you find out that Suzette has amyloidosis but there is no cure and the best you can aim for is to slow its development. This news saddens Suzette. She asks about organ transplants but you tell her she is not a good candidate for transplant as her disease would affect her new organs, and she would be placed on the bottom of the transplant list. She feels angry and hopeless, but if you decide to put on a superhero costume and visit the pediatric ward, Suzette will put on a costume too and accompany you, cheering herself and the children.
