Dr. Cox Quote #72
Quote from Dr. Cox in My Balancing Act
Elliot: I can't remember. I am so sorry.
Dr. Cox: Sorry? What in the hell are you sorry about?
Elliot: Well, it's just Dr. Kelso yells at us when we don't know-
Dr. Cox: Oh, children, you can't let that bloated bag of hate affect you like that. And besides being a doctor is as much about finding the answers as knowing them. For instance, take Clarabelle's patient here, Mr. Yeager. Now, we have no idea what the hell's wrong with him. So we have run tests for everything from meningitis to inter-cranial mass and according to these results, oh, everything seems to have come back negative. Which doesn't necessarily mean that Clarabelle here is a failure. It just means that she's got to keep trying, no matter how frustrated she just might get. Now, of course, if you are lazy and incompetent, then, yes, that will buy you a one-way ticket out of here. Doug. Uh-huh. Listen to me carefully. Kelso can't do a damn thing to you if you just answer a question wrong. It doesn't work that way. Moving on. [to J.D.] Not you. You still have work to do. Johnny No-Tan?
Doug: Yes, sir?
Dr. Cox: I'd like you to present the next patient to me.

J.D.: [v.o.] You're only 80 minutes late. She'll still be here. Please be here. Come on, Alex. Please be here.
[As J.D. looks around the restaurant, he catches the gaze of the Janitor who is dining at a table]
Janitor: You gotta be kidding me! There's a waste of a gift certificate. Cancel the cobbler!
Quote from Dr. Cox
Dr. Cox: Newbie, do you happen to know what a zebra is?
J.D.: That patient just mocked me.
Dr. Cox: It's a diagnosis of a ridiculously obscure disease when it's much more likely that the patient has a common illness presenting with uncommon symptoms. In other words, if you hear hoof beats, you just go ahead and think horsies, not zebras. Mm-kay, Mr. Silly Bear?
Quote from Dr. Cox
J.D.: Well, you know that means a lot coming from you, Mr. Right-here-with-me two-hours-after-his-shift- and-last-Monday-night-too guy.
Dr. Cox: What?
J.D.: You heard me.
Dr. Cox: Newbie, what're you saying? That you want to be like me? Do you understand that I just barely want to be like me?
