Also known as: Collapsed lung
A cab driver involved in a collision develops a pneumothorax with tracheal shift after impact. Jackie performs a needle decompression while on probation, creating tension around her limited role, and the patient requires a chest tube insertion.
Also known as: Heroin addiction
Jackie's ongoing addiction is central to the episode, with O'Hara offering to prescribe medication-assisted treatment as an alternative to rehab, functioning as a 'fancy methadone clinic' to help Jackie manage her condition while working.
A patient arrives by cab to the ER with persistent coughing. O'Hara initially prescribes codeine for cough suppression but then advises the patient to avoid unnecessary opiates and try over-the-counter remedies instead, suggesting dietary changes.
