Quotes 

• [in voiceover] 

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : The toughest thing about being a doctor isn't the terrible hours. It isn't the loneliness, the isolation, or the knowledge that one day, we lose out to the relentless decay of the human body. No, it's something else.

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : [later]  The toughest thing is making the right call when it counts.

• [in voiceover] 

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : The care of every patient is a twisty maze that leads to an infinite number of potential outcomes. We hope that knowledge and experience guide us, but sometimes it becomes obvious a wrong turn was made.

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : [later]  If only it were possible to apply the wisdom of our mistakes, go back to the fork in the road, and this time, be assertive. Choose the road we think we should take, not the path of least resistance.

• [in voiceover] 

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : For some patients, there is no road to recovery. Nothing we do as doctors will alter the outcome. At least that's what we tell ourselves.

  Dr. Neela Rasgotra : [later]  When their way doesn't work, and your way doesn't work, you've got to accept defeat, or find another way.
