Season 8, Episode 17: One Step Too Far

"We're trained to be vigilant. To chase down the problem. To ask all the right questions. To find the root cause until we know exactly what it is. And we can confront it. It takes an extreme amount of caution. Or we can overstep ourselves. We can create problems where none exist."

"Our intentions are always pure. We always want to do what's right. But we also have the drive to push boundaries. So, we're in danger with taking things too far. We're told to do no harm while we're trained to cut you open with the knife. So, we do things when we should have left well enough alone. Because it's hard  to admit when there's no problem to treat. To let it alone. Before we make it so much worse. Before we cause such terrible damage."
