J.D. Quote #289

Quote from J.D. in My First Step

Elliot: I can't figure out what to do about Mrs. Kahn. I don't know if I should send her to surgery.
J.D.: Well, don't send her to surgery. I'll tell you what you do, you wait and see. And I know I'm right because I'm a wait-and-see kind of guy. You know, Elliot, in modern medicine, we're faced with tough decisions almost every day.
Elliot: You are amazing.
J.D.: Well, "amazing" is sort of a strong word. I just show up and let the Lord work through me.
Elliot: You actually think you're a better doctor than me, don't you?
J.D.: [v.o.] Well, I do have better bedside manner. I anticipate problems way ahead of time. Oh, and my hair never gets in my face. So, yes, yes, I do.
J.D.: No, I don't.
Elliot: [blows hair] Yes, you do. Every time you stare off into space like this, I know you're just thinking of something you're too afraid to say.
J.D.: Please, I never do this.
J.D.: [v.o.] Maybe she's upset because she knows I'm right.
Elliot: Oh, my God.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Julie: Plomox is the most effective anti-arrhythmic drug on the market right now, and it has minimal side effects. Only nausea, impotence, and anal leakage.
Dr. Cox: I'm getting two out of three just from the conversation.

Quote from Janitor

J.D.: Taking off?
Janitor: Yeah. If that's OK.
J.D.: That's fine.
Janitor: You know, I just wanted to sneak out for an hour and see my kid's fourth-grade play, but you caught me.
J.D.: No. No catchies.
Janitor: No, no, I think you're right. From now on, before I do anything, I'll make sure to run it by you first. Permission to go see my kid's attempt to overcome his crippling shyness by appearing in his fourth grade class's production of Town without a Turkey?
J.D.: I gotta get back to work.
Janitor: Back to work. Message received.

Quote from Dr. Cox

Dr. Cox: There is no one I hate more than that Medusa. She is everything that's wrong with medicine. Even knowing that she's here in the hospital makes me want to tear someone's head off.
Elliot: Dr. Cox, is this a good time? Because I have a teeny-weeny question about Mrs. Kahn's necrotizing fasciitis.
Dr. Cox: For you, Barbie, anything.
Elliot: Super.
Dr. Cox: But first, an interesting side note. I actually had my physical last week, and while my cholesterol was low, my blood pressure was through the roof. Needless to say, my physician was stumped. But now, thank God, you've helped to solve that riddle, because the instant I heard your shrill voice whining about a "teeny-weeny problem," oh, it took every ounce of self-restraint I had to keep blood from shooting out my ears.
Elliot: Doesn't it seem like in the time that it took you to say all that, you could have just helped me instead.
Dr. Cox: Well, yes, it does, but here, that's what makes it delicious.
