[Linden wants to perform an expensive but possibly life-saving experimental treatment on a patient. Davina is opposed to it because of the cost]

Linden Cullen:
As you are probably aware, VNS is usually a treatment used for epileptics.

Davina MacKenzie:
And by the sound of this, an expensive one.

Linden Cullen:
Well we have to try *something*.

Connie Beauchamp:
Yeah, but something *so* experimental...

Linden Cullen:
VNS implants work by exerting control over intractable epileptics. Now in principle why shouldn't they control Mrs Taylor's seizures in the same fashion?

Connie Beauchamp:
That's fine - I understand how it works, but you could impede blood flow to the brain.

Davina MacKenzie:
Not to mention cash flow to the ITU.
