Tuesdays 8:00 PM on FOXThe Resident Season 5 Episode 9: "He’d Really Like To Put In A Central Line" Quotes
I wish I could engage. If there were 28 hours in the day, I would gladly wax poetic with the patient about the benefits of the pacemaker, but I do not have the time. I have way too many patients who would kill for an easy cure. I have too many obligations.
AJ
Trevor: OK, you've seen this problem before?
Conrad: All the time during the pandemic. A lot of patients who died claimed that COVID was made up.
Conrad: Those posts aren't truthful, Wyatt. They're propaganda by unqualified people who have politicized medicine. They want to sell distrust in science, they use snake oil.
Trevor: The real truth, Wyatt? Bad metal is not a thing. Dr. Hawkins is who you want giving you advice, he's an actual expert.
Wyatt: I form my own opinions, OK? You have yours.
Trevor: This isn't an opinion. It's fact versus fiction, you understand?
It's pretty simple. You can't do what the patient doesn't want.
Conrad
Conrad: I'm as frustrated as you are. As doctors, our purpose is to help, and you got that part right, but Wyatt needs to want to be helped.
Trevor: Well, until he's dead, I'm not giving up.
Conrad: And neither am I.
AJ: I'm not a man for Child's Pose, so I'm just going to be on my way to-
Padma: AJ, I happen to know from personal experience that you could really benefit from a little extra flexibility.
Please let me save you, Wyatt. I have everything you need, you just say the word. Think of all the beautiful things you'll never be able to experience again. I don't know what happens after you die, but I bet you don't get to kiss a woman and know you want to be with her for the rest of your life. Don't you want to wake up on the first day of Fall and eat a peach? Laugh your ass off with your best friends. You don't have to give up any of that. Think of how lucky that makes you.
Conrad
Trevor: What are we here for, huh? Watch people we know we can save just die.
Conrad: I was here to save him. Now we're just here to make sure he doesn't die alone.
Conrad: He's your first death.
Trevor: Yeah, not how I imagined it going down.
Conrad: You pictured a different kind of heroism. Blood spattered all over your white coat.
Trevor: Do you ever get used to it?
Conrad: It never gets easier, it's just different. Today was no small accomplishment, Dr. Daniels. We allowed him to live and die according to his principles and because of that, we managed to keep ours.
I am judging people for not loving medicine enough while trying to cut down on clinical time to go do research. I think about being in the ER year after year after year, with no outlet for research, and I don't know how we don't drown in the sickness, the sadness, the pressure, the paperwork. Half my med school class isn't doing this anymore. That means something.
