Catherine Banfield quotes from E.R.

Dubenko

[Asking about the mother of four that they are treating] How's her carbon monoxide level?

Banfield

29%, but she's not stable enough for hyperbaric.

Dubenko

Exactly, neither is Carter's patient. So can you please explain to me why he won't listen to reason?

Banfield

Sometimes reason doesn't get you anywhere.

Dubenko

Excuse me?

Banfield

We have four kids that could be orphans despite all reasonable efforts.

Dubenko

Yeah, that's part of the deal. That doesn't mean we can start abandoning protocol.

Banfield

Carter was out in the field. Without all the technology, you're gonna listen to your gut. Can't say I blame him. Looks like reason's having a bad day.

Banfield

Gates, is it my imagination, or is Dr. Carter, who is not on duty by the way, in Trauma One with a patient demonstrating IV placement to a college student.

Gates

What?

Banfield

Never mind... Jerry, why is Dr. Carter performing medical procedures on our patients?

Jerry

Uh... because he's a doctor.
