Hopkins Episode 2

Episode Description

Brenda Thompson is suffering from a fatal lung disease. Only a lung transplant can save her, and a new lung may not become available in time. When a donor does become available in New England, there is jubilation. But events take an ominous turn when the donor lungs turn out to be damaged. Brian Bethea, the promising cardiothoracic surgeon with marital problems, has been sent to harvest the new, damaged lungs. Lately it seems nothing is going right for him, as he continues to deal with issues at home as well. Mustapha Saheed is in his third year of emergency medicine. At six foot, seven inches tall, this self-described "big black man" cuts a striking figure as he dashes through the ER.
