Eager Woman: Speaking of lively departments...Have you prepared a list of candidates to replace Dr. Wolf? Dr. Nichols: I have not. And I don't plan to. Yes, Wolf is struggling, but it is temporary. He will heal, and I guarantee he'll come back to us a better doctor. No one in this room, no physician anywhere, is immune to what Oliver's going through. It could be any of us. One of our doctors is getting help, help he needs, help we encourage our patients to get. Why does that make so many of us uncomfortable? Because we're expected to be invincible? If we terminate him, we stigmatize the very thing we represent. You don't fire a dentist who gets a cavity. On my watch, Dr. Wolf stays on as head of neuro. He is the man for the job. A once-in-a-lifetime doctor who cares more about his patients than all of us in here combined. And if my stance costs me the role of chief, well...so be it.
