It turns out we can't save people from themselves. We just treat 'em. Treat that kid with a respiratory problem and when he comes back with cancer, go ahead and treat that.

I know. This would be just the most terrific place to work on the planet if it weren't for all these sick people, wouldn't it?

Smokers, drinkers, druggies, fatties, whatever. If you keep living and dying on whether or not a person changes, well... You're not gonna make it as a doctor.

...if you do not get to the point where you have the courage to take risks, you will never be a great doctor.

Bottom line, in medicine, 1/2 of pulling it off is believing you're the biggest, smartest badass of a doctor to ever walk these halls.

Well, it's no secret how I feel about surgeons. I hate them. I'd liken them to rocks, but that would insult rocks because, you see, at least rocks are useful to society. We build bridges, throw them at guys wearing phones clipped to their heads. It's a phone. You can't do this?

Cute kids die of terrible illnesses! Innocent doctor go to jail and it is just because cowards like you won't stand up and do what's required!
