Quotes
Dr. Mark Craig: Move your chair, Axelrod.
[Axelrod moves in]
Dr. Mark Craig: I've reviewed the Colfax case, and I am not happy. What the hell is going on here?
Dr. Jacqueline Wade: I tried to tell Elliott-...
Dr. Mark Craig: [Cuts Wade off] I have the floor, Dr. Wade. Now, my time is valuable. I don't like wasting it on conforming an open-and-shut case! Axelrod, I find your diagnosis entirely appropriate.
Dr. Jacqueline Wade: But...
Dr. Mark Craig: The patient has a family history of heart disease, but the size and location of the occlusion poses no grave or immediate danger. She's young, compliant, and willing to work hard to avoid surgery. Adequate medical management should give her the same, if not better, chance of survival than a bypass. Case closed. Dr. Wade, I'd like to speak with you. Axelrod, get some rest. You look terrible.
Dr. Elliot Axelrod: Yes, sir.
[Axelrod leaves Dr. Craig's office]
Dr. Mark Craig: What the hell were you trying to do? Bulldoze a patient into surgery?
Dr. Jacqueline Wade: I thought a bypass was necessary and expedient.
Dr. Mark Craig: In a fifty year old. With heavy left occlusion, maybe! This woman presents no intractable angina.
Dr. Jacqueline Wade: Dr. London supported my diagnosis.
Dr. Mark Craig: Oliver London?
[Wade nods her head, Craig appalled with the answer]
Dr. Mark Craig: The man puts Sweeney Todd to shame. He would operate for the common cold! Let me tell you something. I won't have cut-happy residents on my staff. There are too many surgeons already lining their pockets with unnecessary surgery.
[Approaches Wade to hand her a folder]
Dr. Mark Craig: You blew this one, Wade. It better not happen again.

A New Partner

Auschlander hires Joan as his new assistant and immediately begins to make a nuisance of himself. The new first year who is a hypochondriac gets praised for a diagnosis. But the most dramatic part happens at the end when a policeman's service revolver disappears and shows up in an interesting place.
