Dr. Anspaugh and Carter in “One More For the Road”

What's on your mind, doctor?

Carter

Now? I was hoping for an appointment this afternoon.

There's no time like the present.

Carter

I'd prefer to come back later if that's okay with you.

Are you intentionally trying to irritate me, Dr. Carter?

Carter

No, sir.

Then speak up.

Carter

I've been contemplating leaving the surgical program. I've been considering it for quite some time, and I feel that I've made an error in selecting surgery as my specialty. For the most part, the training has been excellent, but I just feel that ultimately, I don't belong in surgery, and I would suspect that you would agree with me.

I certainly do not!

Carter

You don't?

You entered into a contract, doctor. A contract with this institution. We agreed to give you the finest surgical training in exchange for 6 years of your best effort.

Carter

I understand, but I think....

I do not give a damn what you think! This is not summer camp. You cannot just run home to mommy. You're going to suck it up and stick to it! That's what men do. Are we communicating here?

Carter

Yeah.

Good! And if I ever hear this crap coming out of your mouth again, the only medicine you'll be practicing is picking out a cough suppressant for yourself down at the Jewel.
