Quotes
-
Nurse Amy : Dr. Hudson, Mrs. Harris is here, the C-spine's wife? The real wife.
Dr. Neal Hudson : Mrs. Harris, I'm Dr. Hudson.
Susan Harris : Yes. You'd called me about my husband, John?
Dr. Neal Hudson : Yeah. I'm sorry to meet you under these circumstances. Your husband fractured two of his spinal vertebrae. The fragments may have irreparably damaged his spinal cord.
Susan Harris : He was struck by a car. Where... Where did this happen? He had a deposition in Santa Barbara today. It happened in downtown L.A.
Dr. Neal Hudson : Mrs. Harris, your husband needs surgery on his spine.
Susan Harris : Downtown L.A.? No, that's impossible. He's in Santa Barbara.
Dr. Neal Hudson : Mrs. Harris, you need to listen to me. Your husband needs surgery right away, but we need your consent on his behalf. He's too altered to sign.
Susan Harris : Was he alone?
Dr. Neal Hudson : There were many people injured.
Susan Harris : Was he alone... yes or no?
[walks to her husband]
Susan Harris : Of course. You're even tacky enough to be right here when I arrive?
Angela : Susan, I'm sorry. I just didn't want him to be alone.
Susan Harris : Well, that's not why you should be sorry.
Dr. Neal Hudson : Uh, Mrs. Harris, we need to operate right away.
Angela : ...I'm gonna go now.
Susan Harris : No! No. You sit right there. What happens to him if I don't consent?
Angela : Susan. Please!
Dr. Neal Hudson : It's very likely he won't walk again. He may never even be able to breathe on his own again.
Susan Harris : You ready for that, Angela? You ready to feed him, bathe him, diaper him?
Angela : This can't be right. She can't be in charge of what happens to him, can she?
Susan Harris : John and I each have a living will. Did you know that? No, you wouldn't. It's something that we did when we formed our family trust. They call it... A family trust. Do you believe that? I'm the one he decided to choose what happens to him if he's incapacitated.
Dr. Neal Hudson : There's no time to get a court order. He won't make it that long.
Susan Harris : But, he'll live, right?
Dr. Neal Hudson : You're condemning him to a lifetime of paralysis.
Susan Harris : In point of fact, I'm not doing anything. He's the one who made the decisions that put him here, he's the one who decided to be who he is.
