Chicago Med Season 8 Episode 17 Quotes

Maggie: Who do you think you're kidding with this tough guy act? Everyone here knows what you're going through.
Archer: That's the problem. Everyone's looking at me like this sick old man. 'Do you want this chair? Are you sure you can do this?' I'm a doctor in this ED, not a patient.

It is not weakness to let people be kind. It's strength.

Maggie
