ER, Season 10

Pratt (to Luka):
She was my patient!

Luka:
Yes, and if I hadn't treated her, she would still be here. Now she's at home and feeling better.

Pratt:
So that's it. This is how I'm supposed to learn? Either I do it your way, or you take it away from me?

Luka:
Pratt, I'm trying to teach you that the way you practice medicine here is inefficient.

Pratt:
Oh, and letting babies die is?

Luka:
You really think you saved that kid today? For what? 24-hours nursing care? He's probably gonna require a life time commitment. Are you gonna be around to give it to him?

Pratt:
Listen, I'm sorry I'm not in some mud-hut doing amputations with a pocket knife. We have the technology and expertise to give that kid a chance! What's the sense in having it, if we don't use it?

Luka:
That kid has about a 5% chance of having a normal life! You have any idea how many other kids we could have treated with those resources?

Pratt:
I do everything I can for my patients! That's how I practice medicine. This is Chicago, not the damned Congo. Maybe you should just go back to Africa.

Luka:
Maybe you should go to Africa.

Pratt:
I know you didn't just say that to me.

Luka:
Maybe then you'd learn that there's more to being a doctor that ordering tests and calling consults for every patient just to cover your ass.

Pratt:
Stay away from my patients. From now on, I present to another attending.
