Meaningful Quotes

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?

Someday it will be a doctor saving people. Returning them to happiness. Or something better than happiness: peace.
It'll be respected.
Someday.
