Quotes 

• Dr. Arthur Welton : [after entering the Oval Office, referring to Palmer's health]  all signs indicate the President has suffered a cerebral hemorrhage brought on by injuries he sustained earlier in the day

  Vice President Noah Daniels : Meaning he should've never been brought out of the coma

  Karen Hayes : However detrimental that decision was to his health, I'm "confident" that in light of his actions today, he would continue to support it

  Vice President Noah Daniels : I'm glad you're so confident Karen, it was your reckless action that resulted in his stroke

  Dr. Arthur Welton : [to Daniels]  sir, it's unclear if the stroke is evitable but in any event, I'll take full responsibility

  Tom Lennox : Excuse me, now's not the time for recrimination: self imposed or otherwise. When will we know the extent of the damage and the "prospects" for recovery?

  Dr. Arthur Welton : After the MRI, the President is being transported to Bethesda as we speak. Based on my "impressions", the damage was severe, I don't think we can expect the President to regain consciousness any time soon

  Lisa Miller : So it is incontestable Wayne Palmer won't be able to continue his duties as Commander in Chief

  Vice President Noah Daniels : There's no denying that this is a great tragedy for the nation and for those of us that know the President personally: just take care of him doctor

  Dr. Arthur Welton : [Before leaving]  of course, excuse me
