"Is he gonna be all right?" " You a resident?" " Yeah." "Well, you still need to learn that every patient in here is somebody's boyfriend, father, mother, son." "They don't exist simply for you to learn new and interesting procedures." " I didn't see her standing there." " Well, next time open your eyes... before you open your mouth." "What's with the new guy?" "Which new guy would that be, Malucci?" "Dr. Lawrence or you?" "Never said anything about killing himself." "It's not your fault, Becky."

"So, Tommy, what I want you to do... is take a deep breath and blow out when I pull out the tube." "Take a deep breath." "All the way in." "Good, good." "And blow." "Good job." "It's gonna be a little tender." "Don't try and speak right away." " Where's Becky?" " Becky's here." "She's fine." "She's worried about you of course." "Says your mom's in Florida, so we'll call your dad." "You know his number at work?" "I could talk to him for you if you want." "Pager number?" "Here." "Look, why don't you write it?" "Okay."

"The nurses can do that." "I wanna do it." "I'm sorry." "You know there'll be an M and M. And there could also be... medical-legal issues." "Do you mind if I look over your notes?" "Chart's on the counter." "What was your discharge impression?" "Food poisoning." "Or a mild case of gastroenteritis." "You asked about household poisons?" "The mom said the house was childproofed." " Prescription meds?" " Out of reach." "Did you ask about iron?" "No." "I'm not sure I would have either." "The chart looks good." "Everything you did was within the standard of care." "Risk Management won't have a problem." "Is that it?" "Cleo, you saw the child in the second phase of the overdose." "She looked and felt completely normal." "You did what anyone of us would have done." "I should have asked." "Iron is on the differential." " So are 200 other things." " I should've asked." "You did everything you could." "No, I didn't." "She's dead." "Malucci, did you call Public Health about that bat bite?" "That guy in Exam Three needs a rabies series." "He died on me." "The parachute guy." "Massive head injuries." "Didn't stand much of a chance." "I wrote what his wife wanted to tell him on the spot." "But he died before I had time to read it." "You took the message more for her than for him." "I guess."

" I didn't say that." "I just" " I know you think it's stupid." "But I love her." " I mean, I really love her." " Who?" "Your girlfriend?" "And she loved me." "And then suddenly she didn't." "How can somebody love you so much, then just stop?" " When did she tell you?" " I didn't believe her till today." "Lizzie." "You talk to Anspaugh?" " Yes." " How did he take it?" "I didn't discuss it with him." "Didn't get around to it?" "I hope you offered me this position you did it... because my surgical skills aside, you trust my judgment." "Naturally." "Now if I'm here to protect your interests I have to tell you... it's in your best interest to keep Donald Anspaugh happy." "Not only is he a great asset to the surgical staff and to you... but he is also on special consideration." "Now if this interferes with your tennis lessons in any way then I'm sorry" "I don't play tennis." "Whatever." "The point is, if you want to push Donald out, you'll have to do it yourself" "Who said anything about pushing him out?" "Well, I assume this is the first step." "Lizzie, when you "assume," you make an "ass" of "u" and "me. "" " What?" " Look, I just wanted Fridays off." "I thought you could talk to Donald about the schedule." "But If you're not comfortable doing it, I understand." "Yeah, that's all right." "You're feeding it wrong." "Try folding it longways." "And then flip up the corners and fold it flat."

"You know, when I was about your age... my son was brought into the ER." "He'd fallen out of a tree." "They patched him up, good as new." "Later I realized he had jumped from the tree."

" Did you check a second crit?" "38, and the EKG was normal." "I reviewed the films with Radiology." "And you were right." " The cystogram was normal." " Why did you get a cystogram?"

"Lucy, I've treating trauma patients for 30 years." "I think I know what I ordered." " Get an IVP before he goes up." " He's already on his way." "Catch him and get him to Radiology." "He's not going to surgery without an IVP." "Sutured the scalp lac." "Bye." "Sign out your patients?" "Hold on." "You forgot this." "Hey, Dad." "It's Mark." "Nothing." "I'm just calling to see how you're doing." " I'm sure it's a mistake." " See you, Mark." "You're taking off?" "I gotta go home soak my feet, and the rest of my body." " Carol?"

"Did you hear Dr. Lawrence order that cystogram for Mr. Henderson?" " Gross hematuria?" " No, just microscopic." " You don't need one." " That's what I thought... but he told me to order it." " You must have heard him wrong." " No, he said cystogram." "Dr Lawrence wouldn't order a cystogram for microscopic hematuria." "It seemed strange to me but I figured he knew what he was doing." "He does know what he's doing." "You ran the wrong test." "See you tomorrow." ""I love you Larry, the girls love you, you've been the best husband and father... the love of our lives, our true north." "You could never leave us... you'll be with us and in us." "We'll love you always."" " What did you tell him?" " That I spoke to the adjuster and agreed to accept a late payment." " Except they canceled his policy." " Right." " So who pays for the cypress tree?" " You're looking at him." " The dutiful son." " Well, duty comes at a price." " You're gonna have to buy me dinner." " Okay." "Whatever you want." " Good, cause I'm hungry." " What have you got?" "What have you got?" "Mark!" "Quit grabbing!" " I'm gonna grab." " I got it framed for your office." "You've just lost dinner, mister." " Hey, Dr. Lawrence." " It's Gabe." " You off?" " Almost." "We are getting something to eat." "You care to join us?" "No, thanks, I still have some dictations."
