Being In Hospital Quotes

A Hospital isn’t any place to end up being sick Picture Quote #1

I’m a veteran. If I go into the V.A. hospital in Tennessee, I want to know that the procedures they’re doing to me are being done properly. That is not unreasonable Picture Quote #1

Going into hospitals and being able to meet kids that are in similar situations to those that the characters are facing in the ‘Red Band Society’ allows us to see the truth of these real humans’ lives Picture Quote #1

Before being elected to Congress, I oversaw the Cook County Hospital System as a Cook County Commissioner for 10 years Picture Quote #1

Me being me, I put the numbers from my hospital’s website from my tumor sizes into a spreadsheet Picture Quote #1

I lost my mother when I was 7 and they put her in a mental hospital. My brother and I watched her being taken away in a strait jacket. That’s something you never forget. And my stepmother was like in the movie ‘Precious.’ I couldn’t handle it. So I said to myself, ‘I don’t have a mother. I don’t need one. I’m going to let music be my mother.’ Picture Quote #1

In South Africa, being Chinese meant I wasn’t white and I wasn’t black. I trained in Baragwanath Hospital, the largest black hospital in South Africa. That was around 1976, the time of the Soweto Uprising, when police fired on children and students who were protesting. I was part of the group of interns who volunteered to treat them Picture Quote #1

Whether it’s possible or not, being a doctor, you take an oath. To care for your patient, not to kill them. You take an oath to do things that are proper in the medical world. Not to administer something outside of a hospital setting that’s not even your area Picture Quote #1

I think the impulse took shape in early childhood when I was very ill with lymphoma for a number of years. I spent a lot of time in hospitals and sick-rooms, being read to by various relatives, and I learned to associate books with love and attention Picture Quote #1

Being a novelist and being a mother have exactly coincided in my life: the call from my agent saying that I had a contract for my first novel - that was on my answering phone message when I got back from the hospital with my first child Picture Quote #1

A lot of my friends were gay, so I was spat on on the bus daily, and I ended up in hospital a couple of times from being beaten up so badly Picture Quote #1

I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I can do this - painting under observation. It’s the worst thing there is, worse than being in the hospital Picture Quote #1

I was born three weeks early, and I kept being ill. From the age of zero to four, I was always in hospital having tests done, but they couldn’t find out what was wrong. They discovered that one of my kidneys wasn’t working properly, and it had scarred. I had to have 32 injections in my arm in the morning and evening to try and make me better Picture Quote #1

Maybe I would have become an actor. I was a very outgoing kid, but being in the hospital - being outside of social action for so long - turned me into an observer. Actually, right after I got out of the hospital, I did start writing a novel, but the book was so transparently about me that I stopped Picture Quote #1

A great deal of my battle, as an actor, is to whittle away the things that make me self-conscious and try to trick myself into not being self-conscious. So, it’s always a challenge, whether I’m lying in a hospital bed or flying around with a rocket pack on my back, or what have you. On the best of days, it’s a challenge for me Picture Quote #1

However, most of my part, I play a pediatrician, and most of my role had to do with being in another place, staying at the hospital and trying to save kids and stay until people could come. So, it was more based on reality Picture Quote #1
