Not Responsible (Season 7, Episode 16)

Everyone figures doctors are the most responsible people they know.  They hold lives in their hands.  They're not flakes.  They don't lose track of important details or make stunningly bad judgment calls, 'cause that would be bad, right?

We are responsible with our patients.  Problem is, we blow it all out at work.  In our own lives, we can't think it through, we don't make a sound choice.  We did that all day at the hospital.  When it comes to ourselves, we've got nothing left.  And is it worth it? Being responsible?  'Cause if you take your vitamins, and pay your taxes, and never cut the line, the universe still gives you people to love, and then lets them slip through your fingers like water.  And then what have you got?  Vitamins, and nothing.
