Good Doctor

— You don't think an organ donation should be an altruistic act?
— Can it be? A majority of donors do it to make their own lives more worthwhile, and almost a quarter do it to relieve guilt over a past mistake.

Empathy can be an invaluable motivator, that truly connects the physician with their patient.

It's good to be honest.

The emotional baggage is the relationship. Everybody has their issues the point is to sort them out together.

Don't let guilt make you second-guess yourself.

— Guilt must be a bad thing if it makes people feel badly about something they can never fix.
— Or maybe it's a deterrent so we do the right thing the next time.

We are in a daily battle. I'd rather have some company.

Studies have shown that walking boosts creative inspiration.

Sure, we could go out on another date and another date after that and more dates after that, but life is short and getting shorter, and I want to spend whatever time I have left with you. When we are together, it feels like we are speeding down the PCH in a Duesenberg, 12 cylinders with 400 cc's and turbo boosts and picnic basket in the back with baguettes and Gruyere and prosciutto and Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and you are sitting next to me, wind in your hair, and you are laughing that laugh, and the sun, and the ocean. And it just feels like we can go forever.

Getting away from things every now and again, having balance in our lives can be just as important to our performance as practice.

The world is sad and very complicated. I wish it wasn't.

Every time you get in your car, hell, every time you leave your home you take a risk something bad could happen. But you do it anyway, you know, to make yourself better, to make the world better, sometimes just to have fun.

It's wonderful, this love thing. Why should it make any sense? When I think about the reasons I'm in love with Debbie, okay, she's kind, she's funny, she's loving. But that's not it. Not really. There are other people in the world that are kinder, that are funnier, that are more loving than she is, but she makes me happy just being around her. It makes absolutely no sense, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
