[opening voice-over] Every patient who gets bad news wants to be the exception. The one in a million. The miracle. But surgeons don't believe in miracles. We have to make them happen.

Marriage is like a bed and breakfast in Vermont, with sex.
Until you have kids.
And when I want the sex, I don't have to get out of bed and drive to the sex. I just roll right over.
Can you stop it?
Why would I want to stop it? Married sex is dirtier than I expected.
Not the sex, the bragging. You're flashing your money after going to the ATM. We get it. You're sex-rich. It is not polite to brag in front of people who are sex-poor. Some of us are barely making ends meet.
You ever have that dream?
What dream?
The miracle dream. I'd roll over in bed, and there she was, asking me to go make coffee. So real. Then I'd wake up.
No, never had that dream. [She leaves and comes back] A knock at the door.
Sorry?
He knocks at the door, says he forgot his keys, and he's sorry for being gone so long.
When we tell a family a patient has died, I'd prefer we be correct! It's a low, low bar for a physician.
[closing voice-over] Miracles aren't always huge. The fever breaks, the stitch holds, the bone heals. That's why they can be so hard to spot and why they can be such a pain in the ass. Don't get me wrong. Tiny miracles are great. A little miracle's a miracle. It just may not be enough to save us.
