John Carter struggles to adjust to his new reality in the days after the stabbing. Peter Benton is at a loss as to how to help his former student.
“I think you’re scared, Carter,” Peter says finally, as he ties off the last stitch. “I think you’re scared, and you’re hurting, and you’re grieving, and you’re frustrated. And I don’t know what to say to you to make you feel better. But I can do this procedure for you. I can be the one to stitch you up.”

Summary
Grief and trauma over one dead son shouldn’t preclude a parent from caring for their living, hurting one. From being there for them. If Reese was hurt, Peter thinks, you couldn’t make me leave his side. Peter had held Carter’s guts in his hands. Kind, sweet Carter, who keeps sick children company well into the night, long after his shift is over. Carter, who searched the entire city of Chicago to find a blood donor for a dying little girl. Carter, who deserves better than this, and who doesn’t seem to realize it...
Or, three weeks after the stabbing, Carter has his takedown surgery. Benton meets Carter’s parents. No one is particularly happy.

Summary
After months, they switch up his meds. The tongue twister that's pumped through his IV changes letters slightly, but John is too tired to really care when the oncology nurse points it out and asks if he's willing to continue. He signs the damn form, because really, what difference can it make? Regardless of the name you give the poison, it's still poison. It'll make him sick either way.
OR
Carter has a major setback in treatment.
