[to an anorexic patient] I'm sorry. I was only trying to save you.
CClaire
I don't want your help.
A friend of mine died today, fighting for his life. Go ahead, kill yourself. You don't give a damn? Neither do I. Fine! Discharge her.

I have to go find out.
Find out what?
If he's still in love with me... because... I'm still in love with him. I am. I've been in love with him since I was 23 years old. He's everything to me. He's my life. I feel complete when I'm with him and I feel empty when we're apart. He's the father of my children... and he's my soulmate.
Dr. Malucci, if I don't see you standing over a sick patient looking compassionate and engaged in the next 30 seconds, you're going to spend the next week doing nothing but disimpactions and yeast infections!
I heard Mark's coming back today.
Thank God. If Weaver gets any nastier, we're gonna have to call Animal Control.
How long was I out?
About 20 minutes.
Oh, that must be why I feel so refreshed. So, is this a med student hazing thing, or do you just hate me?
You're younger than us, prettier than us, and skinnier than us.
We hate you.
Thanks for the candor.
Why was a critical patient like this discharged from the ER?
She wasn't critical at the time. Her vitals were stable. I thought it was PID.
You didn't appreciate the mass on exam?
No, I didn't.
Who was supervising? You, Dr. Malucci? Didn't you appreciate anything?
Uh, no, I-I didn't.
What were you wearing, oven mitts?
Actually, Dr. Malucci never had a chance to examine the patient.
I think you two need a moment alone to get your stories straight.
He didn't examine her because I never called him in.
Have you recently and unexpectedly graduated from medical school, Miss Lockhart?
I thought my experience in ob-gyn qualified me. Obviously, I was wrong.
So you signed a discharge order for a patient you never saw who was examined and treated only by a medical student? This woman could have died and you're years away from having the necessary experience to make these decisions.
I know.
Oh, good! I'd like a moment alone to speak with Dr. Malucci.
[Abby steps out of the room]
Can I- can I say something? I, uh...
I think your cause would better be served by keeping your mouth shut. When residents arrive here... we size you up. We have great hopes for you, we want you to succeed but gradually over time and through interaction... [inhaling deeply] we form opinions. Do you want to know the staff's opinion of you? You're lazy, sloppy, and your careless attitude towards your responsibilities as a physician endangers patients lives, as witnessed today. In other words, none of us thinks you're much of a doctor.

Benton [to the gunman]: Sir, I'm a doctor, I'm here to help you. Can you talk?
Go to hell.
OK, I'll take that as a yes.
What are you guys watching?
Where have you been?
Shooting near a school. Weaver sent Benton and Kovac.
Wait a minute, why did they get to go?
Because they don't get sick in the chopper.
I already told you, I had the flu.
MVA coming in, single auto versus parking structure.
Carter: ETA?
5 to 10.
Get Weaver, I'll meet you in Trauma 2.
Hey, hey, why do you get it?
I'll call you if he needs his oil changed.
John, you've demonstrated compulsive drug-seeking behavior.
When? Just tell me when.
You know, I think mainlining Fentanyl in the trauma room qualifies.
This week, fentanyl, next week, you end up dead or worse, you end up like your cousin - some babbling gawk in a nurs-- [WHACK! Carter punches Benton, though the latter shakes it off] Carter, you wanna fight, that's cool, man, but either way you're getting your ass in that van.
[Carter breaks down into tears. The consequences of his addiction are finally setting in.]
