Ed Flanders: Dr. Donald Westphall

Quotes 

• Dr. Donald Westphall : You're absolutely sure?

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : Double checked the blood panel, ran a biopsy on the sarcoma.

  Dr. Donald Westphall : Look Bob, they're bearing down on this virus more every day. There could be a breakthrough.

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : You really believe that?

  Dr. Donald Westphall : Yes, I do. We'll get on top of this thing.

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : Yeah, in time. Right now I'm trying to make myself understand that I have about 15 months to live. But I can't. Just doesn't make sense. I mean all my life I've been taught to win. There's no way that the clocks run out.

  Dr. Donald Westphall : What do you want to do?

  Dr. Robert Caldwell : Well, hell, Donald, I just don't want to just roll over and die. I don't even want to think about it. I'm putting myself on treatments. And I want to keep working. You know I can't even count the number of women I've rolled in clover with. When I got lonely, I went looking. And when I found something, could have been a lot of people. Maybe I deserved this.
