Quotes
-
Dr. Carol Novino : Donald, Mark!
Dr. Mark Craig : Ah, Novino. Fine job on Mrs. Liska this morning!
Dr. Carol Novino : Thanks!
Dr. Mark Craig : Your first day, you almost killed a patient.
Dr. Carol Novino : What, she had abdominal pain.
Dr. Mark Craig : She has an aortic aneurysm. Under the knife right now. Resident in charge says you never got the X-rays read.
Dr. Carol Novino : I was on my way...
Dr. Mark Craig : That aneurysm could have ruptured and killed a woman. Luckily somebody else caught it in time.
Dr. Carol Novino : [Guilty after hearing what happened] I'm sorry.
Dr. Mark Craig : Can the apology! Abdominal distress should be treated as an emergency. You know, any nurse can diagnose pain. You wanna play doctor, you better start assuming the responsibility of making decisions. You got that?
Dr. Carol Novino : Yes, sir.
