Season 8, Episode 19: Support System

"Every little kid knows the words to the song: the foot bone is connected to the leg bone, the leg bone is connected to the knee bone. In med school, you learn it's a little more complicated than that. But still, the song is not wrong. Everything is connected."

"The human body is made up from systems that keep it alive. There's the one that keeps you breathing, and the one that keeps you standing, the one that makes you hungry, and the one that makes you happy. They're all connected. Take a piece out, and everything else falls apart. And it's only when our support systems look like they might fail us, that we realize how much we depended on the all along."

Season 8, Episode 18: The Lion Sleeps Tonight

"We have a phrase in the operating rooms: don't pet the lion. It means, no matter how nice the tumor looks, how small it is, how perfect its margins may be, it's still a tumor. It's still dangerous, and it can bite."

"We've all heard the warnings and we've ignored them. We push our luck, we roll the dice, we play with fire. It's human nature, when we're told not to touch something, we usually do even if we know better. Maybe because deep down we're just asking for trouble."
