Michael Michele: Cleo Finch
Quotes
-
Dr. Robert Romano : Well, it looks like a P to me. Bisoprolol.
Peter Benton : It's a C. Why would I order a beta-blocker for constipation?
Dr. Robert Romano : What's that say, Carter?
John Carter : Well, I-I can see how the pharmacy could have read it wrong ,but, they really should have called.
Dr. Robert Romano : Sure. Blame them, you coward.
Cleo Finch : It could have been read both ways.
Dr. Robert Romano : Hey, you, come here. I need an impartial observer.
Peter Benton : Oh, come on, that's a fax copy. You can't even...
Dr. Robert Romano : Quiet, Peter! Is that a C or a P?
Abby Lockhart : It looks like a Q.
Dr. Robert Romano : Someone else who can't read it.
Peter Benton : I prescribed bisacodyl. That's what I ordered. That's what I wrote.
Dr. Robert Romano : Then why is this patient currently undergoing an angioplasty for a life-threatening myocardial infarction?
Peter Benton : You heard me say bisacodyl?
Cleo Finch : Yeah.
Dr. Robert Romano : Did you even bother to read the pharmacy label before you handed it out?
Cleo Finch : There was a trauma coming in.
Dr. Robert Romano : Oh! Oh, a trauma came in. Oh, well, that makes everything okay. When traumas come in we can just hand out whatever meds happen to be laying around.
John Carter : Dr. Romano was...
Dr. Robert Romano : Carter! What does this have to do with you? Nothing. So shut up.
Abby Lockhart : Can I go?
Dr. Robert Romano : The growing level of incompetence around here is frightening. It's a wonder we haven't been shut down.
Cleo Finch : It was an honest mistake.
Dr. Robert Romano : No, it was tag-team negligence. Okay, you are both prohibited from writing prescriptions until further notice.
Cleo Finch : How are we supposed to treat the patients?
Dr. Robert Romano : I'm sure Dr. Carter or one of the other colleagues will be happy to write them for you.
Peter Benton : How long?
Dr. Robert Romano : Until your penmanship approves and until you learn how to read.
Cleo Finch : I know how to read.
Dr. Robert Romano : Then do it!
[Carter pretends to shiver]
Peter Benton : Thank you, Carter. Thank you, Carter.
[Carter walks out]
Peter Benton : So you just gave him a bottle of pills without even looking at it?
Cleo Finch : Peter, what you wrote wasn't legible.
Peter Benton : I shouldn't be writing your scripts anyway.
Cleo Finch : I didn't ask you to.
Peter Benton : He was your patient. You always check the label before you give the drugs. They teach you that on the first day, Cleo.
