Quotes 

• Dr. Turner : [in a debate on healthcare]  Shut up. Enough already. I've heard all the bitching and moaning I can stand for one day all right? Look, if you want to regard me as some kind of blood-sucking vampire, then fine, great, I'll be the bad guy.

  [points at John, while standing up] 

  Dr. Turner : but who's holding the fucking gun?

• Mitch : [while handcuffed by John to the radiator in the waiting area of the emergency room]  This country man, can't go anywhere without getting' mugged, or murdered or stabbed. Kids killin' their classmates, drivebys, ya know, I won't even go into a post office any more.

  Steve Maguire : [sitting in a chair]  Shut up, Mitch.

  Dr. Turner : [standing in front of them]  No, you shut up. I hate the little bastard but he's right. You know how easy it is to get a gun in the country? In five minutes, boom, gun show.

• [Turner looking at a gunshot patient] 

  Dr. Turner : Oh. no, I can't handle this... it's a gunshot. I'm a cardiac surgeon, I'm not an emergency physician

  John Q. Archibald : It's like riding a bike, pretend you're getting paid

  Dr. Turner : No, this is apple and oranges OK. I can't do this

  John Q. Archibald : The man is dying, help him

  Dr. Turner : I'd like to, but I...

  John Q. Archibald : DO IT!

  Dr. Turner : 75mg of Demerol IV... Lidocaine 2% local... let's go, I'll scrub up

• [John locks the emergency door with a few hostages] 

  Dr. Turner : Mr Archibald... these people have nothing to do with this... You have to let them go... they need treatment

  John Q. Archibald : This is a hospital... you're a doctor... Why don't you treat them, start with him

  [Turner looks at Lester then looks back at John] 

  John Q. Archibald : What the matter doctor, you want to see his insurance card first?
