Quotes 

• [Bernard Newton and Martin are talking to a patient before they are about to operate on her] 

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : You are having an open cholecystectomy. Because of previous abdominal surgeries on your duodenal ulcer, keyhole surgery is not an option due to the high number of internal adhesions.

  Evelyn Pearce : It is really necessary?

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : Yes of course it's necessary. That's why we're performing an operation.

  Evelyn Pearce : So I don't have a choice?

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : You *do* have a choice. You can choose not to have the operation, and die a very painful death.
