Patsy Kelly: Mac
Quotes
-
Mac, Head Nurse : [Referring to Kelly, who, in spite of her shady background, has quickly landed a job at the local children's hospital] She came out of the clouds one night, without a single reference. I hired her on the spot.
Capt. Griff : [Suspiciously] I thought orthopedics called for specialized training?
Mac, Head Nurse : Oh, it does! Some people are born to write books, symphonies; paint pictures, build bridges. But Kelly... She was born to handle children with crutches and babies in braces.
Capt. Griff : [Still not convinced] Sounds like one of those sweet Florence Nightingales.
Mac, Head Nurse : Not Kelly, she's tough! Runs her ward like a pirate ship! She makes Captain Bligh look like a sissy.

Miss Josephine : [Ohh] He's a hard worker: He's no playboy, Miss Kelly! His very name is a synonym for charity. He's got the biggest heart in the world. Why, he built our hospital: he built the orthopaedic medical centre: funded by all himself - it's open to all handicapped children; no racial or religious barriers.
Kelly : Handicapped children?
Miss Josephine : It's a haven of hope for those angels; so little, so helpless and so .. crippled.

Mac, Head Nurse : [Change of scene] Nurse .. one more operation and child will have straightened feet.
