Dr. Craig, Dr. Armstrong and others in “Cramming”

Dr. Craig

Then in short, Dr. Armstrong, you never acknowledged the possibility of a genuine heart condition, in this case, infective endocarditis, which crossed the placenta and triggered premature labor.

Dr. Armstrong

[Struggling to answer the question] I... I... ..

Dr. Fiscus

[Stands to address Dr. Craig, Dr. Westfall, and Dr. Auschlander] To be honest, Mrs. Chambers' valve murmur was almost inaudible. I must have big ears. [Snickers after his joke]

Dr. Craig

Hardly seems the time for wisecracks.

Dr. Fiscus

Sorry.

[Fiscus sits down]

Dr. Armstrong

[Trying to hold back her emotions] I'm having trouble concentrating. I was in court earlier today.

Dr. Westphall

Dr. Craig

And probably she'd still be carrying that child.
