Quotes

Dr. Schaffer: Dr. Foreman. How's she doing?
Dr. Eric Foreman: Fever's gone. AST and ALT are back within normal range. She should be out of here in a few days.
Dr. Schaffer: Gutsy call.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Thanks.
Dr. Schaffer: It wasn't a compliment. If you were wrong, she'd be dead.
Dr. Eric Foreman: I was sure...
Dr. Schaffer: No, you weren't. You couldn't be. There's a reason we have rules. If every doctor did whatever his "gut" told him was right, we'd have a lot more dead bodies to deal with.
Dr. Eric Foreman: It won't happen again.
Dr. Schaffer: Yes, it will because you confused saving her life with doing the right thing.

what an ego

Hugh laurie has an ego as big as the earth and he tells everyone how great and smart he is except its all an act, he can't count to twenty without all his hands and feet ... a sorry actor and a worse person that everyone keeps enabling for only the producers know ... toss this charlton to the wolves
