Jane wants to buy the BTOB ticket right now but Yook Sungjae said cool it as the concert might be
cancelled. (don’t rush, don’t be too excited, wailt)

To call up (sb) : to telephone sb

You’re stable at the moment, but I think you would benefit from a little closer observation, so I asked
Nurse Dennis to call up and have you transferred to the ICU.

Can I have a minute?

It was worth the wait.

Hi, I’m looking for Dr. Mehta. You found her. (commonly used? If some one is looking for me, I say : You
found me.): A few other options similar to 'You found me" are: That is me, Yes, how I can help you, This
is He.

To have the audacity [ɔːˈdæs.ə.ti] to do sth : the quality of having enough courage to take risks or say
impolite things

I know, I look a little older than your average intern. You look decades older. Which is why I thought you
were an attending. And normally, an intern wouldn’t have the audacity to come up here and argue with
me. Well, I’ll take that as a compliment.

To hippity-hop (v) to hop

Now, why don’t you get on that elevator and hippity-hop back down to your patient like a good little
intern.

Apart (adv) if things are apart, they are not close to each other or touching each other

What if he tells someone he saw us on a date? Should we ask him to keep it quiet? Dr. Frost. Your secret
is safe with me. Wait, how did you know what we were gonna say? I was in my 20s once. Also, we’re
sitting two feet apart, and the music’s not very loud. You’ll have more privacy once my colleague shows
up.

Should we invite him to sit with us? At least until his friend gets here?

Dr. Jacobs! Oh, no. This feels like a thing.

To weigh on sb/sth: to make sb feel worried and upset

To levy (vt) to officially say that people must pay a tax or charge

It weighs heavily on my heart to levy(make) an accusation such as this. But I believe that Dr. Mehta is
putting her own workload over the welfare of my patient. ; . Means Dr Mehta is making her workload a
priority over the other doctor's patient's health condition. For example, Dr Mehta might do her own
patient's surgeries first before the other doctor's patients.

I know Dr. Mehta. We were in the same intern class. And that is a serious accusation. I doubt that it’s
true.

To speak to sb vs. to speak with sb -> Speak to generally is one-way communication (the other person
don't really have an option to speak back), speak with is two-way communication (conversation goes
both ways).

To go over : examine, consider or check the details of sth

But when I went to speak with her, / You did what? Interns do not go over their chief resident’s heads
and run around the hospital questioning other doctors’ decisions.

To strike sb as: to cause sb to have a feeling or idea about sth

Well, that strikes me as a good reason, Dr. Kenney.

You need to apologize to Dr. Mehta. Okay. I have some very nice stationery, and I will write her. In
person!
Tell her Dr. Jenney sends her apologies. I’ll follow up with a note. I have some very nice stationery, but
nobody seems to care.

Well, I’d like to make a little amendment to my message. No message. Tell her I apologize for nothing!

My hands are tied. How can we even do our jobs when the priority isn’t the patient?

What’s the point of even being a doctor? Never giving up, seeing the best in people. Even when it’s sort
of annoying is your whole thing. Yeah, you’re always willing to do something crazy to do what’s right.

To put yourself down : criticize yourself so that people think that you are less good, clever etc than you
really are

And that’s why you’re part of the Greatest Generation. I am not part of the Greatest Generation. Aw,

Even today, Dr. Mehta thought I was a senior attending.

Manoeuver (cn) a skillful or careful movement that you make, for example in order to avoid sth or go
through a narrow space

Now, I wasn’t sure if the Heimlich maneuver would work on a dog, but that meatball shot out of

Looks like Darnton won’t be able to make it to dinner.

One’s way through sth: read or do sth from the beginning to the end of sth; It means working through
something that requires effort and time. It can be studying a subject at schoold, reading, watching (a
series or something that requires multiple viewing), learning new language. It is not limited to only
these, it is whatever verb that requires effort over a period of time.; to stay focus/keep working to
accomplish the goal. To stay engaged in a task continuously, often used when the task is long-term:

I have to work my way through any book I start, even if I don’t like it very much.

That’s what I want to specialize in after I finish my residency. Well, I’m meeting Darnton at the hospital
for a cigar on the roof. It took him 18 hours, and he sweated his way through his lucky Yankee scrub
cap.

I follow him on Twitter. I’m kind of a Darnton-head(=fan).

To take sth up : occupy time, space, or attention

I’ve already taken up too much of your time.

To pass through sth : to go to a place for only a short period of time before continuing a trip

He passes through here every decade or so.

Desert’s on me. Try the soufflé. It’s like a kiss from a chocolate angel.

He’s on his way to see Darnton. But I didn’t know who he was to begin with.

Do you want to go meet him? Because it kind of feels like you maybe want to go.

We’ve rescheduled, like, six times already.

I’ll take the soufflé. And a side of two more beers. Condiment. Sauce on the side=a side of sauce.

To outrank : have a higher rank that sb

I outrank Mehta by a mile and a half.

To put in a (good) word for sb with sb: to say positive things about sb

To make things easy for yourself : 1. Less strict or severe, 2. Stop punishing or blaming your self

Well, I owe you one. Not to cash in the favor immediately, but any chance you could put in a word for
me with Dr. Gilani? Like, romantically? Yes. You don’t make things easy for yourself, do you?

And that’s when the anesthesiologist turns to me and says, “Darnton, that’s not a mitral valve!”

Long story short, don’t operate in Moscow.

To have what it takes (to do sth): person has the skills, intelligence, personality and persistence that are
necessary in order to do sth
If you’re up here with Frost, you have what it takes.

Looked like you were having a very nice time with Ms. Kenney. I was. But she totally got that (fully
understood) joining you was a real opportunity for me. She was very cool about it.

What did she say when you dropped her off? I left her at the restaurant.

Try it, not eat it by herself like a sad accountant on her first trip to Europe.

We keep postponing because of my work schedule.

To stick around : to remain in or near place

You can prioritize your career, but you can’t expect someone else to stick around if they’re always
coming in second. Take it from two men who have been divorced three times.

But it’s possible to have both, right? Well, I think so but I haven’t managed it yet. I think I should go.
Were we ever that young?

Thank the soufflé that took 30 minutes to come out.

To mess up : to mishandle a situation

Can we finish our night? It is finished. Look, Jenny. I know I messed up.

To start out : to begin happening or existing in a particular wary, especially when this changes later

Your career is important to you, and it should be. You’re just starting out.

You’re gonna have to keep making that choice over and over, and, honestly, I don’t want that pressure
on me. Maybe now just isn’t our time.

Justice is restored. Someone get this lady a jumbortron!

I hope you know where to buy a bunch of tiny water bottles, cause you’ll be driving an Uber by the end
of the day. Well, I would be a great driver, because I would take every passenger. You’d be blocking
every request and driving around by yourself, listening to music and vaping.

To impersonate (vt) to pretend to be (another person) as entertainment or in order to deceive sb

To trick sb into doing sth: to deceive sb in order to get sth from them or to make them do sth
Dr. Metha, what brings you down here? Your intern impersonated a senior attending to trick one of my
doctors into accepting a borderline patient.

To reprimand sb for (doing) sth : to tell sb officially that sth they have done is very wrong

To run this issue up : to raise this issue

I’m gonna run this issue up the hospital chain of command and make sure that Dr. Kenney is severely

To skirt the rules : to avoid the rules without breaking them

Dr. Mehta, my intern may have skirted the rules, but she did so with the best of intentions.

The ends justify the means : a good result is worth a bad way of achieving those results.

Vigilante [ˌvɪdʒ.ɪˈlæn.ti] (cn) a person who forces obedience to the law without legal authority to do so,
or a member of a group that decides to force obedience to the law without official authority

Thank you for having my back. Dr. Kenny, some people think the ends justify the means. There’s my
girl! Same page! No. Different pages, different books. You’re a doctor, not a vigilante. Impersonating an
attending is a serious offense with serious consequences. I’ll leave you with a stern warning to stay in
your lane. But never stop advocating for your patients.

You were right. Amanda crashed in the ICU, but because she was there, they were able to treat her
successfully. She’s gotten so much better, they’re going to transfer her back to us today. Oh, that is great
news about Amanda. And about me being right.

To leave sb/sth out of sth : to not include sb or sth

I told her to leave me out of it. Just doing my job.

Her boyfriend tried to kiss me once. Really? You didn’t hear it from me. You can’t leave me on that!
