| Bio: |  Stylesheet by ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} refutedMuse Biography Dr. Lucien Dubenko is the Chief of Surgery at Cook County General Hospital in Chicago. He has been a member of the faculty since 2004 and sits on several committees including one for Medical Ethics and the hospital's Tenure Review Board. Like most surgeons at County he is arrogant, driven and has a reputation for not playing nice with the doctors in other departments, most notably the ER. To him 'the real doctors' are surgeons like himself. Unlike some of his departmentmates Dubenko doesn't seem to mind being a team player, teaching at any opportune (and not always so appropriate) moment, and generally remains an affable person.

Character Quotes "Normally this might be the part where we'd argue over whether you were hasty in calling me down. I'd question the accuracy and thoroughness of your assessment and we'd play mind games in a futile attempt to one up each other. But you know what? I'm just not in the mood today. Why? I don't know. Lack of sleep, stress or maybe you people have just worn me out." Man With No Name "The difference between a physician and a witch doctor is an appreciation for the science beneath the disease." Interns Guide to the Galaxy "ER docs convince yourselves of the worst possible diagnosis then radiate, bleed and bludgeon in order to prove that you are right." Middleman "So obsessed with the dramatic save that you fail to develop any finesse. Sledgehammers and carpet-bombing where discretion and restraint are what’s required."Middleman "Oh wow...these supple, resilient limbs. Clean and straight amputations. I'm telling you, if you had to have your arms cut off this would be the dream scenario." Here and There "Your intuitive approach is very sweet but I like to practice evidence-based medicine." Middleman "You know, a quick friendly tip of advice: the next time you are caught between a surgeon and anyone else in the hospital, listen to the surgeon." Middleman "Like many interns, and--well, many females, you incline yourself towards popularity and equate it with success. Well, when an ER doc is popular, someone's losing out, and it's usually--the patient. All this guy has is you." Twas The Night "Next time please consider the innate skills and abilities that I suspect lead us all to be doctors. Dust them off and put them to use before you summon me." Man with No Name "You know, I once ate a hash brownie before giving a big talk in Amsterdam. I mistakenly thought that it would take an hour to kick in...suddenly I was up on stage, completely out of my head, lecturing to a room full of biochemists in a faux French accent." Lost in America Dubenko: You're in a different culture now. This is how we shake the ER out of you and build up up again as a surgeon Neela: But does it have to be so humiliating? Dubenko: No...it's just much more effective that way. Somebody to Love " Listen to me. Doctor Crenshaw is your chief and he owns you. He OWNS you. As smart as you think you are, that guy is smarter. You’ll start respecting that. Today. And if you ever play me like that again, ever run to daddy when you don’t like mommy’s rules, you’ll be done here. You hear me? This is your only warning. " Heart of the Matter Dubenko: Alright, alright Neela, well look, just as an excercise, consider this: There are over 65,000 people on the UNOS list waiting for kidneys. Can we really rely on voluntary altruism to solve this problem? Neela: What are you saying? Dubenko: What am I saying. Well, when somebody donates a kidney, the recipient obviously benefits, right? Hospitals make money, surgeons get paid, and the donor who gives up a kidney gets flowers and a handshake, am I right? Neela: Are you kidding? Dubenko: So many sick people, so few organs, why not let market forces sort out the imbalance? Neela: Because people are not commodities. We don’t live in a world where it is alright for rich people to buy body parts from those less fortunate. Dubenko: Hey, it’s legal to rent out your uterus or to harvest your eggs for money. You even get paid to donate sperm. How is this different? All I know is that a dying girl is going to get a new kidney. Crisis of Conscience</font> | |||||||||
