Richard Schiff: Dr. Aaron Glassman

Quotes 

• Jessica Preston : Once the fetus is removed from the uterus, one could argue that it becomes a child.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : That's ridiculous.

  Jessica Preston : There are numerous legal precedents...

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : That guarantee the mother's right to choose. It's her body. It's her control.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : I'm completely comfortable going ahead with this surgery.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : As am I.

  Dr. Marcus Andrews : I never was, and I certainly am not now.

  Jessica Preston : I'm sorry. Until we're certain there is no liability connected to parental consent, neither am I.

  Allegra Aoki : Well, the one thing I think we can all agree on is that the mother has the power to do nothing. And if she doesn't terminate or have the surgery to remove the tumor...

  Dr. Neil Melendez : A fetus with a massive tumor will die inside a patient with APS.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Then the mother would die, too, right?

  Allegra Aoki : So we do nothing, and they both die. Or we can do something that's legally and ethically complicated, and maybe they both live.

• Dr. Aaron Glassman : [Shaun woke his building super up in the middle of the night]  It's my fault. I should've known you would take what I said literally.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : It's okay.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Actually, you know what, Shaun? It's not my fault. It's your responsibility. You're smart. You should be able to use your common sense. When somebody says something, you should figure out what they really mean. And when things don't go exactly how you expected them, navigate that.
