Dr. Cox Quote #77

Quote from Dr. Cox in My Balancing Act

Dr. Cox: Well, ladies and germs, I'm telling you if you get this shorthand down, it has a way of making your day go just a little bit quicker. "CTD" being "circling the drain." Your patient is on the way out. "SOB", "shortness of breath" and "WNL", "within normal limits". Elvis, you go ahead and feel free to write this down, any time before you leave the building.

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?

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?
