:31:00
It's my hospital.
:31:02
I know everything
that goes on inside of it.

:31:07
Everything.
:31:10
Deviation of the tongue.
:31:12
- A problem with the cranial nerve.
- Which side?

:31:14
- Right side, tenth nerve.
- Twelfth nerve.

:31:17
Do you know how many billions of dollars
are wasted on malpractice insurance?

:31:20
That's money that goes to lawyers
that could go to patients.

:31:22
- Hi, guys. Sorry I'm late.
- Everybody know Carin Fisher,
Adelane's roommate?

:31:26
I invited her to join
our study group.

:31:31
So, Carin, why do you
want to be a doctor?

:31:34
Is it just me, or do we
have a lot of work to do?

:31:37
It's just a question.
I think it's the question.

:31:40
Actually, I don't find the question
here in the outline.

:31:42
- What page are you on?
- Uh, 1432.

:31:45
Deviation of a tongue.
:31:46
We'd learn more if we were
working closely with patients.

:31:49
That's why we're studying...
to learn enough to help the patients.

:31:52
Adelane, don't waste your breath.
:31:54
Don't you th...
:31:56
Don't you think
I see through you?

:31:59
You act like you're above the system
when you're really just a nonconformist.

:32:01
You have to get
under the fingernails...

:32:03
of any authority figure
that crosses your path...

:32:06
as a way of dealing
with some insecurity.

:32:08
Antisocial personality, I believe.
Intriguing diagnosis.

:32:10
Truman, this isn't funny. Smart people
flunk out of here all the time.

:32:13
Yeah, uh, odds are one of
the five of us sitting here, actually.

:32:18
I have another question.
:32:20
In a perfect system...
:32:22
why are patients referred to
by their disease...

:32:24
as in "that interesting
cancer patient,"
and not by their name?

:32:27
- It certainly isn't to be mean.
It's to prevent transference.
- And why is that bad?

:32:30
- And the one flunking out is?
- Can we get back to the tongue?

:32:33
What if a doctor becomes
emotionally involved with a patient?

:32:36
Does a doctor explode?
No.

:32:38
Who came up
with these rules?

:32:40
It's against the Hippocratic oath,
I think.

:32:42
I don't really have time for this.
Sorry.

:32:46
Bye.
:32:48
- Bye.
- Sorry.

:32:50
- Charming.
- Bye.

:32:52
- Truman?
- Yeah.

:32:54
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to stop you from studying.
- Go away!

:32:58
I believe there's more to being
a doctor than memorizing facts
about the ventricular artery.
