Dr. Werner Ernst Quotes:

  • Dr. Werner Ernst: If he's going to die, why should we proceed?

    Dr. Butz: Where have you been all your life? It's called revenue!

  • [first lines]

    Stella: [dropping clipboard] That's six's blood gases. I'm up to oxygen 60%.

    Dr. Werner Ernst: Thank you.

  • Dr. Werner Ernst: It's important to say we did as much as we could.

    Stella: Which is doctor-speak for we put this patient through hell before he died.

  • Constance 'Connie' Potter: Doctor, I don't mean to be angry.

    Dr. Werner Ernst: Forget about it, I don't mean to be inhumane.

  • Dr. Werner Ernst: My question is, if you were comatose would you want to be kept a live for months by machines.

    Dr. Butz: Hell no! When I go, I don't want to be tortured in some bed. I have this planned out, Warner. I'm gonna be sitting on my back porch, I'm gonna have a Cuban cigar in one hand, and a big glass 'o scotch in the other, and a belly full of barbecued ribs with a ton of sauce. That's why I don't have insurance.

  • [last lines]

    Dr. Butz: [shouting from his car] Ernst! Stay away from him! You wanna get sued again? Damn it, make sure he's got insurance! Better ask him for proof of insurance! Haven't you learned anything from me?

    Mike: Are you a doctor?

    Dr. Werner Ernst: Yeah, I'm a doctor.

  • Dr. Werner Ernst: Don't forget, I can keep your father legally alive almost indefinitely. Actually with modern medical technology I could probably give a glass of water all the vital signs necessary to be legally alive. And I can end his life any time I want just by turning a knob.
