Quote from Dr. Cox in My Half-Acre
Carla: Mrs. London, this is Dr. Cox. He's going to be your doctor. Dr. Cox: Good news. Your intestinal bleeding can be fixed with a very simple surgery. Mrs. London: Surgery? I'm a Jehovah's Witness. I can't get a transfusion. We believe that blood should not be passed from person to person. Dr. Cox: And I'm a doctor. And we believe that without surgery, a patient in your condition can suffer from a major case of deadness. Carla: Don't worry, he'll figure out another way to treat you. Dr. Cox: [laughing] No, he won't.
