"I became a doctor to help people but orientation yesterday didn't really focus on patient care," "The hospital doesn't wanna be sued." "Being sued is not a good thing." " Hey, Turk?" " What's up?"

"My question is this:" "if we're both singing along, and I would never use the word otherwise," " am I allowed to say..." " No." "That's good for me to know." "Finally, doctors, if there is a mistake, don't admit it to the patient." "Of course, if the patient is deceased, and you're sure, you can feel free to tell him or her anything." "I found us an apartment." "OK, gang, I'm Dr Bob Kelso, and I'm your Chief of Medicine, so I just want to encourage you all to think of me as your safety net."

" l'm sure you did." " l'm just frazzled." " How could you not be?" "If there's anything I can do for you..." "You could let me take you to dinner tomorrow night." "Around seven?" "Or eight?" "Why not?" "Nice!" ""Why not?" That's what she said," ""Why not?"" "Daddy why did you marry Mommy?" "Tiger I gave her an answer during rounds and she screwed my brains out," "You're the man," "What the hell are you doing?" "Did you actually just page me to find out how much Tylenol to give to Mrs Lenzer?" "I was worried it could exacerbate... lt's regular-strength Tylenol." "Here's what you do." "Open her mouth, take a handful and throw it at her." "Whatever sticks, that's the correct dosage." "Under no circumstances are you to compromise our no-talking agreement." "Dr Kelso is always saying... I'm gonna say this as carefully as possible, so I don't overstate it." "Dr Kelso is the most evil human being on the planet and may in fact be Satan himself." "It's just that this isn't what I expected." "Most of my patients are... older and sorta checked-out, mentally." "Pumpkin, that's modern medicine." "Advances that keep people alive who should've died a long time ago." "Back when they lost what made them people." "Your job is to stay sane enough so when someone does come in that you can help, you're not so braindead you can't function." "For the love of God, what?" "Should we be talking about this in front of..." "Her?" "She's dead." "Write this down." "If you push around a stiff, nobody'll ask you to do anything." "You've been like a father to me." "If they find out nurses are doing your procedures, you'll be kicked out so quick, your head'll spin." "And there it is," "Have a terrific day." "I'm not really dead." "Bambi, here's Mrs Lenzer's tox screen." "Is Turk having the same experience I am?" " l am such a stud." " Probably not, I had my hands inside of a guy's chest." "I couldn't even see them. I should not be allowed to do stuff like that." "Wassup?" " You weren't scared?" " One way or another, everyone stops bleeding." " That is so deep." " No, it isn't." "It's a little deep."

" Then I'll do it." "For you." "You're a good man." "I'm waiting for someone." "The door is broke." "Probably the fifth time or so it don't open." "Maybe a penny's stuck in there." " Why a penny?" " l don't know." " Did you stick a penny in there?" " No, I was making small talk." "If I find a penny in there, I'm taking you down." "Welcome to rounds, kids."

"Draining stomach fluid will get my spirits up," " Circles for you." " Shut up and do it." "Fantastic, Now just suck out the fluid with the giant needle," "Needle's too big." "I'm gonna get a nurse." "Come on, man." "Learn by doing." "Why couldn't I do that?" "I hated him at that moment," "OK, maybe the needle was a little too big." " You think?" " What's going on?" "Nothing." "This is totally normal." "So are you gonna move your stuff in?" "That's why I came by. I think it's better if we both branched out." "Tell him that's stupid, Tell him you need him, I feel the same way." "What's it like being a young hotshot doctor?" "Did you ever go see a movie everyone told you was great and because of all the expectations, you were disappointed?" "Movies nowadays have too many special effects." "That was my point." "My first code, Someone's heart fails they beep everyone," "The first doctor in has to run the room decides if a patient lives or dies," "What am I crazy?" "You chicken."

"Your turn." "No, I gotta get back, but very nice." "Hey, Bambi." "I'll call you, OK?" "Give me a big "ahh"." "A big-boy "ahh"." "Turk almost had sex in the on-call room." "You realise, of course, I have no idea who Turk is, but good for him." "You see, Billy, it turns out that sex is life-affirming." "What do you say?" "Got a urine sample for me?" "I just did five minutes ago." "But here's the thing." "Take this, put it on the ground, close your eyes and go nuts." "What do you say?" " Cool!" " Attaboy." "Go get 'em." " Why are you here?" " Seems like a good kid." "You're worried about being on call tonight." "Yeah," "Look, worst-case scenario, you kill somebody, and it's with you the rest of your life." "But that is the absolute worst-case scenario." "Just have the nurses do the stuff you're too chicken to do, which is everything, and if you have a really rough admission..." "Call you?" "No!" "Hide in the closet again." "This is fun." " Nurse?" " l'm a doctor." "The stethoscope, the beeper, a doctor, got it?" "Relax." "I hate the "darlings", the "sweethearts"." "No need to tell me how hard it is being a woman here." "You're helping by wearing a thong and hooking up in the on-call room." "Word gets around." "You talk like that, do you even know my name?" "I spend every second of my life either here or taking care of my mom, so, yeah, maybe I needed a little closeness." "You never had a quickie at the club, right?" "Or snuck some skinny college boy up to your sorority room." "And my thong?" "I think it makes my ass look good." "And some days, I need to feel good about something." "And you judge me?" "Well, guess what?" "Word does get around, Ms Out-For-Herself." "So you can dump on everyone here if you want, but you will not hurt me." "Her name's Carla, by the way." "Hey, champ." "First night on call starts soon, huh?" "You must be excited." "You betcha." "About Mrs Pratt." "I heard you wanted to put her on the hospital's transplant list." "I'd recommend keeping her on dialysis a little longer." " Maybe we'll get lucky." " No problem, sir." "Great." "Have a ball." "On call." "Little poem for ya." "Bambi, let's go." "I'll check on you every ten minutes, Mrs Marino, OK?" "I need to see you in Mr Burski's room." "Are you flirting with me?" "You are, aren't you?" "He crashed." "The attending thinks it was a pulmonary embolism." "No way anyone could've caught it." " You have to pronounce him." " Why didn't anybody page me?" "Could you just pronounce him so I can go home?" "I'll never forget that moment," "The way he looked exactly the same only completely different," "The shame that all I could think about was how hard this was for me," "Time of death 0200." "I just wanted to help people," "The hardest part is how quickly you have to move on," "Don't worry, you're gonna be fine." "I lied before." "I'm scared every second." "Really?" "It's a good thing they make surgical masks. lf they didn't, everyone would know my face was like this the whole time." "I think it's OK to be scared." "I need you to tell me that." "He needs me?" "I just came to check up on you, see how you're doing." "Ask him to move in again," "Turk, the offer still stands... I already took the keys out your bag." "I love you." "And like that I got a second wind," "I'm watching you." " How you holding up?" " There he is, My safety net, I saw that you're still pushing to put Mrs Pratt on the transplant list." "Bad news, though." "She doesn't have the insurance to cover it." "But she's a second away from total renal failure." "OK..." "Did you ask the Burski family for permission to do an autopsy?" "They're still with him." "It's a teaching hospital, you gotta ask." "Tell him you can't see Mr Burski again he'll understand," "Sir, do you think I could skip just this one?" "Why, sure, sport." "See?" "Every story needs a good guy, ln fact, why don't you just head on home?" "You look kinda tired." "I am pretty tired." "Dr Dorian, do you not realise that you're nothing but a large pair of scrubs to me?" "The only reason I carry this chart around is so I can pretend to remember your names." "If the patient has insurance, you treat them." "If they don't, you show them the door." "And if somebody dies, you get the autopsy." "Get it by rounds tomorrow or I'll scratch your name off my chart." "Clear?" "Answer me!" "Crystal clear." "Great, sport." "If he's the jerk," ",then who's the good guy?" "Car accident." "Crashed on the way up." "Relieve the pressure on his chest." "JD, do it." "God no," "Look at me." "You can do this." " And I believed him," " Chest tube tray." "You know kind of," "Come on, baby, let's go." "You can do this, You have to do this," "JD, cut him or lose him." "Give me the tube." "I can't get through the pleura." "Don't be gentle, get it in there." "Connect it, please, Carla." " Normal rhythm." " No way!" "It's a piece of cake." "It's your patient." "You're leaving?" "That's your patient, doctor." "Good." " That's enough." " Sorry." "It's a very big moment for me." "I guess that's it for now, 3 1 hours 1 2 minutes and I am," "You finally off?" "Almost. I have one more annoying thing I gotta do." "If it's the Burski autopsy, I called the family and they said fine, and to thank you, and I'm sorry." "They didn't say that last part, I did." "The worst part was knowing I could never forgive her," "I forgive her," "You see I can't survive on my own, I'm a dork." "A dork. I'm a dork." "Even now when I get to go home" "I'll know the hospital's still here wide awake," "Get out while you still can." "But what the hell," "The important thing is I got through my first three days without looking like a complete idiot," "I'm the man,"
