Cuddy waved her hand. "No. Absolutely not. I can't give you information like that from a resident's private file without knowing why you need it. Especially not one who is in a coma and can't give any authority for you to access the information.

Chase pressed his lips together in frustration. "He isn't going to care! The guy was willing to let himself be a lab rat for the sake of finding the answer for the others. Sure, it's defunct now that it's looking more and more like he has something different, but I need to know what date from home he arrived here. It's important."

Cuddy pursed her own lips and let out a long-suffering sigh. "How does that have any bearing on you finding what is eating away at his lungs, Chase? Becoming fixated on this is not going to help anyone, least of all the patient," she stated.

"Because I need to know if this thing killed him back home!" Chase growled, pacing back and forth behind his desk. He scraped his hand through his hair and blew out a sharp breath. "It could give us a time frame. It could tell us if it's terminal. It could be important. That's how it bears, Cuddy."

"You have a time frame. It was a week from when he slipped into a coma and needed to be hooked up to life support. No debates about that. The date he came here is irrelevant. He didn't die back home, he was on his way to service. He told Amber that when he originally was seeing her for the flu," Cuddy insisted, following his movements with her eyes.
