Exactly, I am the chief of surgery! And I don't have time to write letter to pump your ego. My head of neuro is being called a murderer, I have to fire my longest standing general surgeon because she won't retire, interns are mixing up blood samples in your clinic, and you want me to spend my time writing a recommendation so you can leave me!?
Leave you? Sir, I'm applying for a fellowship in pediatric surgery.
Which is not what we had discussed! Do you know how much of my time you wasted? Do you know the amount of work it takes to groom someone? You were supposed to become the next me!
You wanted me to become the next you. I'm not your son, or your daughter. You don't get to pin all your hopes and dreams on me, sir! [...] You're worried about your legacy, but I am not your legacy, and me applying to peds is not... You are not listening to me, sir. [stops after seeing Derek and Mark having a fight.]
