[Two elderly patients start bickering] Larry, Laverne, they're all yours.
You think those two can handle it?
Yeah, I think they could handle a lot if you'd let them.
That's right, you said that before.
You know, no disrespect Brenner, but you're making it real hard for me to respect you. You're taking the procedures away from the residents, you're not even letting them do physicals.
They don't know what they're doing.
They've been to med school.
So what, look you've either got it or you don't.
Excuse me?
You know what I'm talking about. Some people catch on, other people never get it.
Yeah but it's our job to train them.
That is sweet Greg, but it's also a complete waste of time.
Are you serious?
Look, I teach people that can benefit.
And what about Larry and Laverne?
They're, they're adorable, and eager, and absolutely clueless. Look I could spoon feed them everything I know, and it'd just pass straight through them like a bad case of cholera.
And so what do you suggest instead?
Encourage them to find new careers.
I don't know where you came from, but this is a teaching hospital. So if you can't accept the fact that everybody needs to learn, then you don't belong here.
Okay, sorry, remind me again Greg, you're not the chief of the department, right?
No I'm not.
Okay, that's great. So you do things your way, and I'll stick with the way that works. Now, my shift's over, it's been an absolute pleasure, but I gotta go, I got a date, I got two actually.
[Dr. Brenner walks out of the room]
Hey I'm not the only one that thinks...
Night, Dr. Pratt
