Quotes 

• Dr. Leanne Rorish : Oh, you have been busy. Electrocution; Cardiac arrest; possible femoral perforation... anything else?

• Dr. Leanne Rorish : When I was in med school, back in the dark ages, the received wisdom was, it's never a good idea to treat your own family members. It's easier in theory than in practice, and everybody does it eventually, especially for the small stuff. And in extreme situations, like the one you're in right now, you have no choice. You're the only one, who can help her. The tragedy is... when you're absolutely the finest, most skilled doctor there is, and, you have to turn them over to people less skilled than you. So you're lucky, your mother is lucky, because there is no-one, anywhere, better equipped to save her, than you! You have the opportunity to do what I couldn't do with my own family. I envy you that. So, don't waste it questioning yourself. You know what to do.

  [giving positive reinforcement to Dr. Hudson in a time of self-doubt]
