[voiceover] Dying isn't easy. The body was designed to stay alive; thick skulls, strong hearts, keen senses. When the body starts to fail, medicine takes over. Surgeons are arrogant enough to think there's no one we can't save. Like I said dying isn't easy.

You missed it. Altman tore Hunt a new one in the cafeteria. Whole hospital's talking about it.
Not to me. I walk in a room, and all the conversation grinds to a halt.
Oh come on, you don't talk locker room talk in front of the coach.
I'm not a coach anymore, I'm a player. I take a shower like everybody else.
Richard. You're a little bit like everybody else, but mostly, you're still the coach. It's a sign of respect. You'd be wrong to take it any other way.
If I wasn't happily married, I'd hit her, I'd hit her hard.

[voiceover] Living is better than dying... until it's not. But even if letting a person die is the right thing to do, it's not what surgeons are built for. We are arrogant and competitive. We don't like to lose and death feels like a loss even when we know it's not. We know it's time. We know it's right. We know we did everything we could. But it's hard to shake the feeling that you could've done more.
