Sharon Goodwin quotes from Chicago Med

Sharon Goodwin

What is it about first loves that stick with you? It's just like the last 40 years never happened. One day this man walked out of my life, and the next, he's being wheeled in on a gurney.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Is every day like this?

Sharon Goodwin

Some days, we're busy.

Sharon Goodwin

[contemplating whether to allow a patient to operated on] I guarantee if we perform this operation, regardless of the outcome, we'll be sued, and they'll likely win, and millions.

Dr. Will Halstead

And that's how we make our decisions? By how much it's gonna cost us?

Sharon Goodwin

All right, get off the high horse, Dr. Halstead.

Dr. Will Halstead

How about we call the Ethics Committee?

Sharon Goodwin

Be faster to call a judge, but I'm not gonna burn a favor on this.

I'm not sure you're aware, but Connor knows Russell Rollins, and it just didn't seem appropriate to me that my son be the one treating him.

Sharon Goodwin

Well, the degree of familiarity doesn't warrant taking Dr. Rhodes off the case, and Mr. Rollins, when he was lucid, did not request another physician.

Let me put it another way. I would like Russell to receive the very best medical care, and I do not think my son can provide that.

Sharon Goodwin

Your son is a first-rate surgeon. Otherwise, I would not have hired him.

I want him off the case.

Sharon Goodwin

It's not your decision to make, sir.

Excuse me, but I'm the one writing checks here.

Sharon Goodwin

And while we appreciate that, this is my shop, and I will not be pulling Dr. Rhodes from the case.

I want you to remember this conversation, because if anything happens to Russell, you will be repeating it in a courtroom.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Is it true? Lucy Simms' liver is on its way back to the hospital?

Sharon Goodwin

The intended recipient died in pre-op.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Peter is an HLA match. It can go to him.

Sharon Goodwin

Yeah, there are names ahead of him on the list.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

None of them are in this hospital. It has already been three hours; livers are viable for less than twelve. By the time the list gets sorted out, the... the patient prepped, organ shipped, it may be too late. Lucy's husband can direct donate to whomever he chooses. Ask him to give it to Peter.

Sharon Goodwin

You're talking about the man responsible for his wife's death.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

And he has done a horribly stupid thing, I know, but he's a kid. Peter deserves a chance to turn his life around.

Nurse April Sexton

Something doesn't make sense.

Sharon Goodwin

What's that?

Nurse April Sexton

Shooting in a movie theater, and we've only had one GSW, and that was the shooter. Where are the rest of the gunshot victims?

Sharon Goodwin

Have you been binging on Mannix again?

Dr. Daniel Charles

You don't like it, stop sending me box sets for Christmas.

Dr. Will Halstead

We lost a patient this morning, Lisa Patrick. Her husband wants to harvest her eggs. Do we have a protocol for that?

Sharon Goodwin

We do. Ms. Patrick will have to be on life support for two weeks for hormone stimulation therapy, followed by the retrieval itself. It's an expensive and complicated procedure.

Dr. Will Halstead

Well, he seems pretty committed. He says his wife really wanted to have a child.

Sharon Goodwin

Well, I imagine she meant she wanted a child she could mother and raise. This... this is a little different.

Maggie Lockwood

A lot different.

Sharon Goodwin

I'll call gynecology and get the process started.

Dr. Will Halstead

Thank you.

Sharon Goodwin

DCFS recommended that Griffin be separated from the family.

Dr. Natalie Manning

Good.

Sharon Goodwin

No. The Taylors aren't going to do it.

Dr. Natalie Manning

What? I don't understand. They saw.

Dr. Daniel Charles

"Heart will not accept what the eye can see." Willful blindness, right? I'm afraid this is not gonna end well.

Sharon Goodwin

Dr. Choi, we're gonna need some of your Navy-inspired discipline today.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Sorry, I'm with the paramedics today. Resident ride along.

Maggie Lockwood

And discipline, that a nice way of saying I'm a tight ass? [laughs] Oh, yes. Tight.

Sharon Goodwin

I didn't say that.

Maggie Lockwood

And getting the docs in line, isn't that the Chief Resident's job anyway?

Sharon Goodwin

Wonderful, the guy who's enforcing the rules is the one always breaking them. [looks over at Dr. Halstead]

Dr. Will Halstead

You gave Mr. Gleason a drink?

Sharon Goodwin

He was likely going to die without one. I've seen it happen.

Dr. Will Halstead

So it doesn't matter if that was against hospital policy, 'cause I'm pretty sure if that were me, I'd be raked over the coals right now by you.

Sharon Goodwin

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. I admit it's a bit of a double standard. What can I say?

Dr. Will Halstead

This patient... he had a chance to kick his addiction. Now it's gone.

Sharon Goodwin

Dr. Halstead, an addict doesn't just kick a habit. He's got to want to quit, and right he doesn't. Listen, you can't force a person to move on from something if they're not ready.

Sharon Goodwin

Daniel, what are you doing tonight?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Mm, working. Why?

Sharon Goodwin

Well, an old friend of Bert's and mine has moved to town and I thought we could all go to dinner.

Dr. Daniel Charles

You know, sounds like a blast, but I really am slammed.

Sharon Goodwin

Come on, Daniel. Bert's been so grumpy lately, and he always cheers up when he talks to you.

Dr. Daniel Charles

What's going on?

Sharon Goodwin

It's a long story, but you'd really be helping me out. Besides, Maribel loves Scotch and ballroom dancing. You haven't been out in a while.

Dr. Daniel Charles

You know, there's a reason for that. There's this new study out, says dating can lead to marriage.

Sharon Goodwin

It's just a friendly dinner.

Sharon Goodwin

HR informed me that you still haven't supplied them with current malpractice insurance.

Dr. Will Halstead

Well, I'm trying to find a carrier that'll write me a policy.

Sharon Goodwin

I'm guessing that's because of the lawsuit.

Dr. Will Halstead

Doesn't make sense. The suit was dropped.

Sharon Goodwin

But to an insurance company, you still look like a bad risk. Attending physicians must provide their own malpractice insurance. Now, the hospital could give you a grace period of two weeks, but after that...

Dr. Will Halstead

I understand.

Sharon Goodwin

Look, I know you and I have had our ups and downs, but I don't want to lose you. So I'll make a few calls.

Dr. Will Halstead

Thank you.

Sharon Goodwin

You may not want to thank me. I guarantee, your insurance will not come cheap.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

So this was your idea?

Sharon Goodwin

Dr. Choi volunteers at the zoo.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Normally we wouldn't bring an animal in here, but we couldn't diagnose without a CT.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Well, that's fine, but I'm not a veterinarian.

Dr. Ethan Choi

She needs a cardiothoracic surgeon.

Sharon Goodwin

You've done this procedure many times.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Oh, yeah, I have. On human beings.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Same plumbing, just bigger. Crack her chest and plug the hole.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Are we sure that we're all comfortable spending our time and the hospital's resources to save an animal?

Sharon Goodwin

Dr. Rhodes, zoos rent pandas from the Chinese government for a million dollars a year. Why? Because people love pandas. So if we save this one, it's a public relations coup for this hospital. One which will lead to much needed donations to save human lives. And... and there's an issue beyond that. I've learned that there are less than 2,000 pandas left in the world.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Connor, we should do whatever we can to keep her alive.
