Quotes 

• Ellyn Warren : I don't know why I can't go home. It's just an ulcer, right?

  Dr. Meyer : A bleeding ulcer. You're severely anemic. You lost a great deal of blood. And if that's perforated, we're going to have to operate.

  Ellyn Warren : Like I said, I'm fine.

  Dr. Meyer : It isn't funny. You're gonna make some changes in your life. You're gonna change your diet, you're gonna change your work habits, and you're gonna find some way to relax. I'm giving you the number of Winston Phipps. He's a psychiatrist who deals with stress-related disorders.

  Ellyn Warren : Oh, come on. What, you want me to do some caring and sharing? Getting in touch with my feelings? That sort of thing?

  Dr. Meyer : I can treat the symptoms, but if you don't deal with the causes, you won't get well, period.

• Dr. Meyer : There's a great GI group I've been working with over at Hahnemann. I'm sending you to Jay Schiff. You'll love him.

  Ellyn Warren : Oh, no. I just came in for a new prescription for Lomotil. I've had this before.

  Dr. Meyer : You're probably right. But that's why you're going there: to make sure.

  Ellyn Warren : Come on, Doc...

  Dr. Meyer : Otherwise, I'll tell your mother you were on birth control pills in tenth grade.

  Ellyn Warren : Eleventh.
