Best Emergency Room Quotes
- “There’s only a couple times when fame is ever helpful. Sometimes you can get into a restaurant where the kitchen is just closing. Sometimes you can avoid a traffic violation.

They’re not paying taxes, but they’re showing up in emergency rooms. They’re driving up the cost of auto insurance ’cause they don’t have driver’s licenses and are getting into accidents. They’re having children, which are US citizens. So, I mean, it’s an issue that needs to be dealt with.” ~ Marco Rubio
- “It’s [a miscarriage] all very thief-in-the-night. No one really knows what to say. You go into the emergency room, you think you’re going to be a mum and you walk out empty.

But so many of us can be soothed by writing: think of how many times you have opened a book, read one line, and said, “Yes!” And I want to give people that feeling, too, of connection, communication.” ~ Anne Lamott
- “…I was tired of men. Hanging in doorways, standing too close, their smell of beer or fifteen-year-old whiskey. Men who didn’t come to the emergency room with you, men who left on Christmas Eve.

- “Once when I was cooking I burned my arm with scalding water. I went to the Emergency Room of the Hospital. When the doctor came in he looked at me and looked at my chart, and looked at me and looked at my chart, then looked at me again and said, “I loved your show!” He told me that when he was doing his internship he would come home every night stressed out, but he would watch a late night rerun of the Andy Griffith Show and relax and fall asleep. He said, “I wouldn’t be a doctor, if it wasn’t for the Andy Griffith Show”.” ~ Betty Lynn
- “I was in the emergency room twice with heart palpitations and panic attacks. As one of my actor friends pointed out: your body doesn’t know that you’re making art.

If it goes from 100.6 to 102.6, well, you call the doctor. If it goes from 102.6 to 104.6, you’re in the emergency room at a hospital. The same with Mother Nature – small changes in global average temperatures have a huge climate effect.” ~ Thomas Friedman
- “When you’re mired in the depths of depression, it’s impossible to believe that anything can get better, but it can and it will. Seek out low-cost or free counseling. Get help and support from your community and stick with it until you can afford some fancy private shrink. Do anything. Join a church group if you have to. It doesn’t have to be about religion, it’s about not feeling alone. Also, do not be afraid to go to the emergency room. I’ve been there.” ~ Sara Benincasa
-

They’re the ones who have to go tell the families that their son is not coming back, their husband, their wife, is not coming home that night. So when we talk about guns and gun violence and police, let’s understand that as well. No one wants guns off the streets more than cops because cops are killed by those guns.” ~ Don Winslow
- “I did marry, I did get pregnant, but as I was giving birth, my daughter and I almost died. We were rushed to the hospital.

It’s indestructible and immortal and carries long on after your own life is over. Who could ask for more?” ~ Steve Biddulph
