Duncan Pow: Linden Cullen
Quotes
-
[Linden wants to perform an expensive but possibly life-saving experimental treatment on a patient. Davina is opposed to it because of the cost]
Linden Cullen : As you are probably aware, VNS is usually a treatment used for epileptics.
Davina MacKenzie : And by the sound of this, an expensive one.
Linden Cullen : Well we have to try *something*.
Connie Beauchamp : Yeah, but something *so* experimental...
Linden Cullen : VNS implants work by exerting control over intractable epileptics. Now in principle why shouldn't they control Mrs Taylor's seizures in the same fashion?
Connie Beauchamp : That's fine - I understand how it works, but you could impede blood flow to the brain.
Davina MacKenzie : Not to mention cash flow to the ITU.
