• Natalie Manning : Hey, Dr. Charles, you got a sec? I've got a case I'd like to run by you.

  Daniel Charles : What you got?

  Natalie Manning : My patient, Emma, nine, she presented with abdominal pain on the left side, so I did a quick bedside scan to check her ovaries. It's actually testicular torsion.

  Daniel Charles : Testicular torsion?

  Natalie Manning : Yes. The ultrasound showed an absence of uterus and ovaries, but she has undescended testes.

  Daniel Charles : Huh. Nothing about this in her chart?

  Natalie Manning : No. I doubt the family has any idea.

  Daniel Charles : Okay. Page Pediatric Urology. We need to get a plan together.

• Natalie Manning : Any word from the ethics committee?

  [Charles glances at Emma's treatment room] 

  Natalie Manning : No way. No way they're gonna allow this.

  Daniel Charles : Because, technically, they have both Judy and Emma's consent, and because testicular torsion is a medical emergency, the hospital feels obligated to act.

  Natalie Manning : But the assent was coerced.

  Daniel Charles : Yeah, but coercion's very difficult to prove, and the truth is that in the majority of these cases, the courts do side with the parents. The board's worried about a negligence suit.
