Neela Rasgotra : [to Abby] I had a baby brother. He died when he was six days old. I was only three. I remember sitting in my mom's hospital room eating ice cream, but I don't actually remember him. The NICU's just so sad all the time. How can you stand it?
Nurse Abby Lockhart : I don't know. When I was an OB nurse, the preemies freaked me out. I thought they looked like frogs. I was pretty sure I was gonna hate the NICU.
Neela Rasgotra : But you don't.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : No, I don't. It's not just about the babies. You know, so much of it is about taking care of the parents and it turns out tragic family dynamics are my specialty.
-
Neela Rasgotra : [to Dr. Gilepsie] So when the DR phone rings, we're supposed to drop everything and run?
Matt Gilespie : Yep, 24/7. It means some potentially sick-ass baby's being born. Kid ends up being fine, but you never know.
-
Mei-Fan : [to Neela] We sold everything to come stay with my aunt have the babies in Chicago.
Neela Rasgotra : You're just going to start over with nothing?
Mei-Fan : Her life will be better. Isn't that why your parents sent you to this country too?
-
Matt Gilespie : Heard any funny dead-baby stories lately?
Neela Rasgotra : Here's a good one: Inga's hydrocephalus is worsening. EEG shows continued seizure activity. She's not dead, but she might never wake up. It's a real laugh.
-
Neela Rasgotra : Why are cigars associated with babies? This stinky thing has no place in a nursery.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : It's Freudian. Something about men wanting to have sex with their mothers.
-
Nurse Abby Lockhart : [to Neela] So, are you still thinking about neonatology?
Neela Rasgotra : Not in a million years.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : I hope you didn't let Raab discourage you.
Neela Rasgotra : It's more than that. She thinks you should go into NICU, you know.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : Yeah.
Neela Rasgotra : You should.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : No, thanks.
Neela Rasgotra : I bet every Attending tries to recruit you.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : Oh, please. Look who's talking. Your mind is a sponge.
Neela Rasgotra : Maybe, but you've got that thing. I don't know what it is, but it's much harder to learn.
Nurse Abby Lockhart : I think all that cider's going to your head.
