Dr. Kelso: Dr. Murphy, describe the presentation of Ludwig's Angina.
Doug: Uh...
J.D.: [v.o.] Still, it's nothing compared to the silence you hear at work.
Dr. Kelso: Proud to have you on board, son. Anyway, I'm sending one of you to an AMA conference where you will eat free food, stay at a nice hotel, and try your darnedest not to embarrass this hospital. In the interest of fairness, I drew a name out of a hat, and that name was Elliot Reid.
Elliot: Yes! I never win at anything.
Dr. Kelso: And then I thought... Oh, who cares what I thought? The point is, you're not going. You see, it seems as though you lazybones have forgotten my edict about residents publishing case reports. That's why I've decided whoever brings me the most interesting case gets the ticket to Reno.
Doug: You know, sir, my parents live in Reno.
Dr. Kelso: Well, that's just great, sport. I'm sure you'll see them over Christmas.
