00:02 - It was a glass.

00:16 Glass of champagne at his daughter's graduation.

00:19 I had the labs to prove it.

00:20 Chuck didn't fall off the wagon.

00:22 He had one drink, never went back.

00:23 - The transplant registry guidelines

00:25 don't play in the gray for a reason.

00:27 - These guidelines are so arbitrary.

00:28 Have one drink and you die.

00:30 Couple pills of ecstasy, no problem.

00:32 Hepatitis B from careless sexual practice.

00:34 No, nothing at all about that.

00:36 - So what do you want us to do?

00:36 Throw out the rules?

00:38 - I want us not to hide behind them.

00:40 We do have a responsibility.

00:42 - Without the rules, we're playing God.

00:44 We need the rules.

00:45 - Does that help you sleep better at night?

00:46 - Yes, it does.

00:48 We have one liver today

00:51 and 800 people in this state need it.

00:54 I don't wanna be haunted by the other 799.

00:56 Your guy hasn't earned it.

00:57 He knew the rules and this, it's a technicality.

01:02 - No, the drink is a technicality.

01:03 - Jessica, what's the legal version here?

01:05 - Significant.

01:06 If we move forward with this transplant,

01:08 we could lose privileges in the registry.

01:11 - If it was discovered.

01:12 - If it were discovered, how narrow can you be about this?

01:15 - Dr. Glassman, where are you on this?

01:18 - I can make a good argument either way.

01:20 - Go ahead, please.

01:21 - Better to remove the arguments altogether.

01:24 - What the hell is he talking about?

01:25 - All I'm talking about is that we have a patient

01:27 in this hospital who needs a liver.

01:29 We also just happen to have a liver that needs a patient.

01:33 - It's not that simple.

01:34 - It is that simple if you consider the patient.

01:36 Rules are secondary.

01:38 But is saving this patient worth the risk

01:43 of not being able to save hundreds of others?

01:45 - I don't have hundreds of patients right now.

01:47 I have one.

01:48 His name is Chuck.
