Dr. Craig, Dr. Wade and others in “My Aim Is True”

Move your chair, Axelrod.

I've reviewed the Colfax case, and I am not happy. What the hell is going on here?

I tried to tell Elliott-...

[Cuts Wade off] I have the floor, Dr. Wade. Now, my time is valuable. I don't like wasting it on conforming an open-and-shut case! Axelrod, I find your diagnosis entirely appropriate.

But...

The patient has a family history of heart disease, but the size and location of the occlusion poses no grave or immediate danger. She's young, compliant, and willing to work hard to avoid surgery. Adequate medical management should give her the same, if not better, chance of survival than a bypass. Case closed. Dr. Wade, I'd like to speak with you. Axelrod, get some rest. You look terrible.

Yes, sir.

What the hell were you trying to do? Bulldoze a patient into surgery?

I thought a bypass was necessary and expedient.

In a fifty year old. With heavy left occlusion, maybe! This woman presents no intractable angina.

Dr. London supported my diagnosis.

Oliver London?

The man puts Sweeney Todd to shame. He would operate for the common cold! Let me tell you something. I won't have cut-happy residents on my staff. There are too many surgeons already lining their pockets with unnecessary surgery. [hands her a folder] You blew this one, Wade. It better not happen again.
