Richard Schiff: Dr. Aaron Glassman

Quotes 

• Dr. Aaron Glassman : [after Shaun improvises a treatment]  A REBOA.

  Dr. Neil Melendez : Ballsy. Could've gone really wrong.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Yes, well, it didn't. It's a cowboy move; something you would never even dream of trying. How many times is Shaun gonna have to prove himself before you give him a shot?

• Dr. Aaron Glassman : I had a woman come into the ER once. A mother, 51 years old, Francine Parker. She had two boys. She had a cough. A bad one, but a cough. I checked her out, gave her some antibiotics, sent her home. Six hours later, she was rolled into the ER. She had... had a heart attack and I missed it. And she died. Not one day goes by when I don't think about her.

• Dr. Aaron Glassman : Well, that was quite a night. Been a doctor for a long while; don't remember a night quite like that one.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Why did Nurse Farrar ask if I wanted love?

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : 'Cause she's a nosy... Shaun, you really don't want love?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : I loved Steve and my rabbit. Not anymore.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : You don't love them anymore?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : No, I don't. They're dead. You can't love someone if they're dead.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Well, I've lost people I love. I miss them, and it hurts, but I still love them.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : I don't want love.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Okay. You want breakfast?

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : Can I have four pancakes instead of three?

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : You can have five.

  Dr. Shaun Murphy : I only want four.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Okay.

• Dr. Aaron Glassman : How soon after you found Jenna at the crash site did you intubate her?

  Dr. Claire Browne : Almost immediately. I did a sternal rub. Uh, he had decerebate posturing. Her left pupil was blown. I knew she had a subdural hematoma, so I intubated, did the burr hole.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : She also had a flail chest. Did you check her breathing after you intubated her?

  Dr. Claire Browne : Yes. Well, at least I-I think I did.

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Dr. Lim told me that when Jenna came into the ER, she wasn't ventilating properly. You inserted the tube too deep into her right main stem bronchus of her injured lung. We had no way of knowing how long she was hypoxic before we gave her the EEG.

  Dr. Claire Browne : I drilled a perfect burr hole into her skull on the side of the road in the middle of the night, and I-I-I screw up her intubation?

  Dr. Aaron Glassman : Yes. It was tough conditions for anyone, resident or not. Any one of us could have made the same mistake.
