LINK: Hey, man! I couldn’t think of what to say, so I thought I’d play a song…

SCHMITT: He made me carry a guide-wire around for months after losing one in a patient. He wanted to make me the best surgeon I could be.

AMELIA: Andrew DeLuca brought me my tumor in a jar, so that I could see that the thing that had threatened to kill me for so long was gone.
BOHKEE: You were not… you came first. But you became excellent.
JO: You were so brave and noble. I’m gonna miss you. We all are.
RICHARD: He went up against doctors who had decades of experience, all while wagering a personal crisis of his own. He diagnosed my cobalt poisoning to save my life.That young man represented the best of what this job could be.
