Jason: Thyroid, diabetes, cancer?

“Vivian: So. The young doctor, like the senior scholar, prefers research to humanity. At the same time the senior scholar, in her pathetic state as a simpering victim, wishes the young doctor would take more interest in personal contact.

"I have been asked 'How are you feeling today?' while I was throwing up into a plastic washbasin. I have been asked as I was emerging from as four hour operation with a tube in every orfice, 'How are you feeling today?'

"Susie: She's DNR! (She grabs him.)

"Nothing but a breath--a comma--separates life from life everlasting. It is very simple really. With the original punctuation restored, death is no longer something to act out on a stage, with exclamation points. It's a comma, a pause."

"Susie: You did... What you have to think about is your 'code status.' What you want them to do if your heart stops"

Hair follicles my resolve.
