List of voters for the quote

Carter (to Abby): When I was a student on my surgical rotation, Rubadoux's wife was very sick. She was part of this research study. When her results, uh... when she was no longer useful, there was a lot of pressure to get her out. So I did. I dumped her into a nursing home.Abby: Did she belong in one?Carter: We all figured she'd end up back in the hospital which would be on Medicine's shoulders, not ours.Abby: So...? Surgery dumps another patient on Medicine. Happens every day.Carter: I told Rubadoux that she was going to get better, told him that her situation was going to improve, told him what he wanted to hear... you know, when you're a student, you're so desperate for approval. You want everybody to like you: you want your patients to like you, you want their families to like you. Gotta be efficient too, though. You gotta impress your superiors.Abby: Yeah, you don't have to tell me. I'm still on the bottom rung of the ladder.Carter: I mean, when the Chief of Surgery tells you to get rid of her, you get rid of her.Abby: Yeah.Carter: And then she came back three days later, and she died and Rubadoux was so surprised. Ultimately it was the Attending's fault. It wasn't my responsibility.
