Omar Epps: Dr. Eric Foreman

Quotes 

• Dr. Eric Foreman : We were wrong and we're going to keep being wrong until we're right.

  Latino Fellow : Or until she dies.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Yeah, that was very helpful. Need a team to tell me we're mortals.

• 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.

  [shakes her head] 

  Dr. Schaffer : I'm sorry, Dr. Foreman, you're fired.

• Dr. Eric Foreman : You don't stop a daily ritual that cures boredom because you're bored. She stopped doing her crossword puzzle because she's having a hard time reading it. What causes fever, boggy lungs, and blurry vision?
