Quotes
-
Doctor Vincent Welles : The nurses told me you have some questions.
Tammy Gregorio : We do.
Doctor Vincent Welles : Unfortunately, I can't answer them, as I'm sure you're aware of HIPPA laws.
Hannah Khoury : Nobody's asking you to violate confidentiality, Doctor.
Tammy Gregorio : Why don't you at least hear the questions before you stonewall us?
-
Hannah Khoury : Ignacio Marquez might be trying to sell donor livers to one of your patients.
Doctor Vincent Welles : That's absurd. The allocation and distribution of human organs is the most regulated area of healthcare.
Tammy Gregorio : And yet people are still paying up to 150 grand for a single black-market liver.
Doctor Vincent Welles : Even if one of our patients did secure a liver illegally, I would never allow it to be transplanted in my clinic.
Hannah Khoury : I respect your conviction, Doctor, but there's a dangerous man on the loose, and something in your records may help us find him.
Doctor Vincent Welles : The only way you're seeing those records is with a court order.
Hannah Khoury : [taking a piece of paper out of her jacket] Oh, well, good thing I stopped on the way, to get one.
-
Doctor Vincent Welles : Brent, this is insane.
Doctor Brent Stokely : If you had helped her from the beginning, none of this would be happening.
Doctor Vincent Welles : I tried.
Doctor Brent Stokely : You made one phone call. That's all.
Doctor Vincent Welles : UNOS denied her status. What more could I have done?
Doctor Brent Stokely : They shouldn't get to decide who lives and dies.
Dwayne Pride : Isn't that what you're doing? Choosing one life over another?
Doctor Brent Stokely : Susan is a brilliant doctor. Her survival will benefit hundreds of patients.
Dwayne Pride : Not this way, it won't. Her medical career is over. And so is yours.
Doctor Brent Stokely : Either way, she lives. It's a price I'm willing to pay. Now back off.
