Chicago Med quotes

Dr. Ethan Choi

3,000 calories?

Dr. Daniel Charles

It's all she's willing to accept.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Why are you negotiating? Dangerously low albumin, renal insufficiency. 5'6" and less than 70 pounds. Dr. Charles, I carried her in, she was nothing. She needs high-calorie, long-term nutrition.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I agree.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Then what are you doing?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Anorexia is actually the most deadly mental illness that there is. Every instinct she has is telling her to resist this, and I don't want to push her any harder than she'll let us.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Then let me push her.

Dr. Daniel Charles

No. I made a deal, we have to honor it. Trust me, it's her best shot.

Sharon Goodwin

Asterid's transfer to County... I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I learned it was suddenly unnecessary.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Yeah, it, uh... it turns out that the hospital's charitable fund has enough money to cover her costs.

Sharon Goodwin

It does now. It seems a six-figure donation was made a few hours ago anonymously.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

That's good timing, I guess.

Sharon Goodwin

Mm.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Good night.

Sharon Goodwin

Dr. Rhodes, be careful. Patients are going to keep coming. And as wealthy as you may be, your checkbook won't be able to keep up.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

But it did today.

Dr. Sarah Reese

I did my two-week suspension. I am in therapy. I am not supposed to be afraid anymore. I am a psychiatrist. Rule number one is to connect with your patients, and I could not even look her in the eye.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Look, the good news is that you recognize the problem. Right? Sarah, nobody learns how to master their fears in two weeks, trust me. It just doesn't happen. Not even somebody as determined as you are.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Okay. You know, when, um... when Allison died today, I saw myself, because she could not change. But I have to. I have to. I just don't know how. You have to help me. Dr. Charles.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Of course. Of course. Of course I will.

Dr. Natalie Manning

[to parents, after their preemie baby dies] I don't know what to say.

We got to hold our child, and hope that he was able to feel our love.

Dr. Natalie Manning

I'm sure that he did.

[hugs Natalie] Thank you.

Dr. Daniel Charles

[at a prison] Dr. Reese, this is Officer Kowalski. He will be our escort for the day.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Hi.

First time?

Dr. Sarah Reese

Mm-hmm.

You'll be fine. Just don't feed the animals. Uh, sign the visitor waiver, please.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Waiver?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Basically says that if we, um, get taken hostage, that the state won't negotiate our release. Just standard procedure.

Dr. Sam Abrams

Eh, she's got a mass in her sinus, possibly a tumor. We need a biopsy.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Yeah, but look at the cross-sections.

Dr. Sam Abrams

[seeing the scan] I don't understand.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Neither do we.

Dr. Sam Abrams

It's moving.

Dr. Daniel Charles

You shouldn't feel bad.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Why not? I am the one who asked for this. It was stupid.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Not stupid. Ambitious.

Dr. Sarah Reese

I have no business trying to treat a patient like that. I can't help him or myself.

Dr. Daniel Charles

You know, the irony is that guy is so much more scared of you than you are of him.

Dr. Sarah Reese

I doubt that.

Dr. Daniel Charles

What, are you kidding me? Guy like Hector, not gonna let you in. A shrink? He's utterly terrified of what you might find; you know, what he might have to face, you know, so he does the jailhouse thing.

Dr. Sarah Reese

What do you mean?

Dr. Daniel Charles

Convicts survive by demonstrating dominance, by going straight to attack mode. It's how they do it.

Dr. Sarah Reese

So he manipulated me.

Dr. Daniel Charles

These guys are experts at-at spotting vulnerability. You know? And Mr. Ramirez exploited yours.

Dr. Sarah Reese

And so he got the response he was hoping for. [thinking for a moment] I want to go back in.

I'm ASA Ramirez, state's attorney investigating today's shootout. I'd appreciate if you could retrieve the bullet so that we can run ballistics.

Connor Rhodes

My priority is to save this man's life. You'll get your bullet if it's medically advisable.

Dr. Ava Bekker

It must be hard remembering all their names. Now, I read that Derek Jeter used to send his conquests home with a gift basket, but a full cardio workup is-is much classier.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Jeter, huh? You-you're... you're a baseball fan?

Dr. Ava Bekker

No. It's too boring. But I love gossip.

[learning she needs surgery] What do they say? "You reap what you sow"? This must be karmic retribution for cheating on my husband.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Your coronary disease didn't just develop overnight. It's been building up for a long time.

I've been cheating on my husband for a long time.

Dr. Ethan Choi

How are you holding up?

Maggie Lockwood

Trying to keep it together for him. To be honest, Ethan... I'm scared.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Even if the worst happens, Barry's not criminally responsible. The shooting was instigated by someone else.

April Sexton

It was... it was self-defense.

Maggie Lockwood

I know, but... how is Barry supposed to carry that burden?

Dr. Sarah Reese

Dr. Charles, I know I didn't take your approach today...

Dr. Daniel Charles

You didn't take my approach? You directly defied my orders, and put yourself and your patient in real danger.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Ben isn't dangerous. I think I just proved that.

Dr. Daniel Charles

The only thing you proved to me is that you're reckless and insubordinate, and I have half a mind to suspend you again.

Dr. Sarah Reese

The last few months, you've been preaching to me that I can either see my patients as a threat or as an opportunity. Was I afraid in there? Yes. But my fear no longer controls me. I control it, and now Ben controls his, too.

Dr. Daniel Charles

You are missing the point! I appreciate that exposure therapy has given you a newfound sense of confidence, but it does not make you all-knowing and invincible. What you just did in there was unbelievably stupid.

Dr. Will Halstead

Hey, Doc, I got a patient in 4, Brittany Coleman, stabbed her neighbor. Cops have her under guard. Seems pretty nutty. Wanna take a look?

Dr. Daniel Charles

"Pretty nutty". Is that a... is that a clinical term?

Dr. Will Halstead

She's had fentanyl, but no sedation.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I'll be right there.

Dr. Natalie Manning

So, your wife tells me that Ben hasn't had any of his childhood vaccinations.

Oh, god, here we go. Really? You had to tell her? You know how these people think, honey.

Yeah, I had to tell her.

If you notice, Doctor, our son is doing just fine.

Dr. Natalie Manning

Yeah, maybe he's just fine, but your niece is in there with whooping cough, most likely because of him, because of you.

You don't know that.

Dr. Natalie Manning

That baby is suffering horribly. She could die.

Aaron!

Look, I'm sorry, but I have to do what I think is right. I have to protect my son.

Dr. Natalie Manning

Oh, you think you're protecting him? Do you have any idea how dangerous an ED is for a child without immunity? Do not assume that there aren't more idiots like you out there.

Excuse me?

Dr. Natalie Manning

And who knows what these kids might have. Measles, mumps, polio. Get your son out of here. [he doesn't move] I'm serious. Get your son out of here now.

How could I have missed that? I did a chest x-ray and an EKG...

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Neither of which showed the aortic dissection. Look, every indication was that the guy was having a heart attack.

What if I had just done a-a bedside echo?

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Why? Look, you thought your priority was to get him to the cath lab.

But that was wrong.

Dr. Connor Rhodes

Look... we're all taught to see things a certain way, and most of the time, that works, just... not all the time. It is a very, very hard thing to see past our assumptions. Believe me, I'm still learning.
