Quotes 

• Dr. Victor Ehrlich : Oh, Dr. Craig.

  Dr. Mark Craig : What is it, Ehrlich?

  Dr. Victor Ehrlich : I've got a problem.

  Dr. Mark Craig : Only one, huh? After your haphazard, clumsy, inexcusable performance in the OR today, I'm convinced that you may be here in body, but your mush brains are still on vacation.

  Dr. Victor Ehrlich : Fine, well Dr. Swayles...

  Dr. Mark Craig : Who?

  Dr. Victor Ehrlich : Exactly! He's got admitting privileges here, and I've been assigned one of his patients. You know, I've tried to reach him without any luck. Mrs. Sado's conditioning is deteriorating, and I've got to change her meds fast.

  Dr. Mark Craig : Then do it!

  Dr. Victor Ehrlich : I can't change his orders. He's an attending and I'm only a resident.

  Dr. Mark Craig : You're also a moron. When a human life is in the balance, protocol goes out the window. Do I make myself understood?

  Dr. Victor Ehrlich : Yes, sir.

  Dr. Mark Craig : And Ehrlich, I appreciate the fact that you don't wear shorts.

  Dr. Victor Ehrlich : My legs, sir, never.
