“You need a good bedside manner with doctors or you will get nowhere.”
“Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere.”

“Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.”
“Pretending to know everything gets you nowhere. Seek criticism. That's how you learn what you need to know. That's how you grow.”
“Once a patient goes brain dead and relatives sign his organ donation consent form, he will get the best medical treatment of his life. A hospital code blue may be a call for doctors to rush to the bedside of a beating heart cadaver who needs his or her heart defibrillated.”
