John Aylward: Dr. Donald Anspaugh

Quotes 

• Dr. Donald Anspaugh : [to Carter]  This job is about determining what a patient needs and the best way for us as surgeons, to meet that need and as surgeons, we cut.

  John Carter : Dr. Anspaugh, as a doctor, if I can find a way to do what my patient wants that's medically acceptable, that's what I should do. I don't believe I should cut somebody open just because I can.

  Dr. Donald Anspaugh : It bothers me that this patient is willing to risk death rather than undergo a simple surgical procedure, but it bothers me even more that you're so willing to help him do that.
