Expect the unexpected and you will never be surprised.
You can never underestimate the importance of listening.
— You want to take the easy way out with this surgery because you're scared. You're scared because if you try and fail, there's only you to blame. Well, missy, let me break this down for you Bobbo-style. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes. It's all up to you. So get up off your keister, get out of here, and go start doing the work.
— What if it's too hard?

I've been thinking lately about taking chances... <...> and how it's just about overcoming your fears. Because every time you take a big risk in your life no matter how it ends up you're always glad you took it.

— Clam up! I wanted you to think about yourself. And I mean really think. What are you good at? What do you suck at? I wanted it down on paper, not so I could see it, or anybody else, but so that you could see it. Ultimately, you don't have to answer to me, or to Kelso, you don't even have to answer to your patients, for God's sake. You only have to answer to one guy, Newbie, and that's you!
