House M.D. (TV Series)

Family Practice (2011)

Omar Epps: Dr. Eric Foreman

Quotes 

• Dr. Chris Taub : [to House about treating Arlene]  So what do we do?

  Dr. Gregory House : We switch her meds. We get a solution of broad-spectrum antibiotics, stick it in an I.V. bag marked for prednisone. Kaufman can only be there a few times a day. Tell Arlene you're from the pharmacy, switch 'em out.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : This is nuts. This is way too complicated.

  Dr. Gregory House : It's hanging an I.V. bag!

  Dr. Eric Foreman : If the attending doesn't know what she's on, the risk of drug reaction...

  Dr. Gregory House : What risk? We know how he's treating her. We bugged the room.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : This is not about information! We're talking ethical and legal violations on a scale that should make even you puke!

  Dr. Gregory House : She's dying!

  Dr. Eric Foreman : That doesn't mean we should all go to jail to save her! You're losing control because... this is your girlfriend's mom.

  Dr. Robert Chase : You gonna run this by Cuddy?

  Dr. Gregory House : No. She said to keep her out of it, do what we need to do. Look, I know what I'm suggesting is completely screwed up. That's because this situation is completely screwed up. Do it or you're fired.

• Martha Masters : [When House and his team are sitting in the morgue; House is watching a cartoon on a portable TV]  Is no one gonna tell me...

  [House shushes her] 

  Martha Masters : [whispers]  Why we're in the morgue?

  Dr. Robert Chase : House is on the lam from someone. Taub's got his money on Wilson, but I'm pretty sure it's Cuddy.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Fool's bet. There's a whole world of angry patients, creditors...

• Dr. Eric Foreman : Aren't there other ways of keeping Masters occupied?

  Dr. Gregory House : Not according to my sexual harassment seminar.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [about Arlene]  I switched out the antibiotics, put her back on prednisone. Her breathing's normal, but the a-fib's back and her fever's up.

  Dr. Chris Taub : Allergy's got to be due to our antibiotics.

  Dr. Gregory House : Does Kaufman know what we did? That's good.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : No, that is terrible! He doesn't know that she got worse on antibiotics, so now he's thinking endocarditis. He'll put her back on the antibiotics that almost suffocated her. What do we do?

  Dr. Gregory House : We push through this. It started in the heart. Endocarditis still fits. It's just got to be fungal. We have to switch Kaufman's antibiotics for amphotericin B.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I don't know if you're right. I don't care, but we are gonna end up killing this woman if we keep confusing her attending with these secret meds.

  Dr. Gregory House : I don't care about confusing the attending! I want this woman...

  Dr. Eric Foreman : We're not talking about simple antibiotics anymore. Amphotericin B is dangerous in itself. It's a poison. That's why it kills fungi. It'll give her fever, chills...

  Dr. Gregory House : Which she already has, which will help us hide it.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I don't think I can take a risk like that.

  Dr. Gregory House : Well, then you shouldn't have let her fire me!

• Dr. Chris Taub : Am I a horrible person? I used to win awards for volunteer work. I went to Guatemala and fixed cleft palates. Now we're sitting back letting Chase do our dirty work.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : We're doing the right thing. Stay out of it.

  Dr. Chris Taub : I don't know. I don't know about anything anymore. Then this thing with the kid, Rachel's brother...

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Stay out of that too. A: radiologists; experts, unlike you said no bleed. B: you yourself said it's probably not. C: you've got no doctor-patient relationship. D: you'll lose your consulting job. E: your ex will kill you. F: I'm running out of alphabet here.
