Getting To Know You

Sink Or Swim

New intern Bartholomew West has a nightmare first shift in the ED. Between irritating Frank by his mere presence, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, and stumbling through his assignments, Bart finds reason to question his ability but an encouraging word goes a long way to ease his mind. A pair of perplexing patients resulting from a fight at a house party give the staff cause for concern when their symptoms don't coincide with the doctors' expectations for their respective injuries. Frank is stunned when Nelson turns up on his doorstep in the middle of the night, looking far from himself. Dazed and with nasty wounds on his bare feet, Nelson is clearly in a bad way. What's more, by night's end he will have made a heartbreaking decision. But it's a decision he knows he has to make-and one that Frank helps him to carry out. Nelson, who is still failing to cope with the horrific murder of his bride-to-be, Kerry, pleads with Frank to admit him to a psychiatric ward.
