Dr. Morrison and Dr. Westphall in “Whistle, Wyler Works”

Dr. Westphall.

Yeah.

I wanted to be the one to tell you.

Tell me what?

Carrolton University Medical School used to be in Mexico.

Jack, excuse me, I've been in surgery all day. Would you mind cluing me in on what you're talking about?

Well, I didn't get accepted to a med school here in the States, so I took a job doing research while taking pharmaceutical training. Carrolton offered a two year program, but when I got there, I found that I could accelerate. So, since I had other training, I took the test.

How long were you at this place?

Six months.

You got two years' credit in six months?

Well, I had to take the test, and the boards, I had a background.

Doesn't make you a doctor, Jack.

Dr. Westphall, I didn't realize what...

Would you excuse us a for a minute, please?

Thank you.

I didn't realize what I was doing was wrong.

Jack, if it were practical to train a doctor in that amount of time, don't you think we'd do it? Why the hell didn't you tell me? You owe me that much at least, for fighting to keep you here for a second year.

I wasn't... I was afraid. You're disappointed in me.

Yes, I'm disappointed, what the hell do you think?

Well, there must be some way to straighten this out, I mean something you can do.

The mistakes you made here, the misdiagnoses, I believed it was because you were doing your best to function under tremendous personal pressure and now it seems all the errors you made were the result of a grossly inadequate medical education. If I'd had the power, I'd suspend you, you know that?

Well, I'd like to continue with the educational part of my residency, but I'll take myself off cases.

That's a damn good idea.
