How would you feel about accepting a non-tenure-track position as clinical instructor?
So after giving seven years of my service to this hospital, I lose my tenure over a single patient.
Elizabeth, you broke the law. What did you think was gonna happen?
I don't know. That I might be appreciated for saving a life. That... that friends might have fought for me.
I did fight for you. I had to beg, borrow and steal just to keep them from giving your name to the state board.
What the hell, let them pull my license. Let them make it ugly. I'll go public. I'll tell anyone who cares to listen this hospital was willing to let a man die because a bloody bill was signed on a Tuesday rather than a Monday. We did something extraordinary here, Kerry.
You're right. We did, but that's not our purpose. We can barely service the community's basic medical needs as it is.
And that's it? Just stay open, get through each day?
Isn't that enough?
