J.D. Quote #757

Quote from J.D. in My Malpractice Decision

Neena: I have a few questions about my father.
Dr. Cox: Your father has syncope-
J.D.: Per, I'm back in. You see, Neena, the heart is like a big inflatable house. Now, on the bottom floor are these two rooms, or "ventricles". Now, these ventricles - or "rooms"-
Neena: Syncope in the setting of severe LV systolic dysfunction indicates a high risk of arrhythmia. So the best course of action would probably be an implantable defibrillator. I'm a medical malpractice attorney. And I am much, much smarter than you.
J.D.: They're like rooms.

Quote from Elliot

Elliot: Carla, when I became chief resident, I wrote a pledge to myself. And do you know what it said? It said "Dance like nobody is watching". Which I do, constantly, in my living room, with the shades closed just in case somebody is watching. But it also said not to hide problems away. So, no, I'm not gonna go and hide Doug down in the morgue.
