Bell: There was a time when I operated when I shouldn't have. I had a physical problem that meant I shouldn't have held a blade in my hand, and I thought I could control it.
Michael: Did you really think that?
Bell: No, I knew I was a risk.
Michael: And you killed somebody.
Bell: In a simple operation that shouldn't have been risky. A man bled to death.
Michael: And what was your punishment?
Bell: There was none because the whitecoat is a shield.
Mike: So you got away with it?
Bell: No, I didn't get away with it. That death haunts me to do this day, and I live with that guilt.
Michael: Guilt means nothing to me. Guilt is pointless.
Bell: There's a saying in my line of work, it's one that all surgeons know, that killing someone is so easy, what's hard is not killing someone.
