This Be the Verse (2008)

Duncan Pow: Linden Cullen

Quotes 

• [Linden wants to perform an expensive but possibly life-saving experimental treatment on a patient. Davina is opposed to it because of the cost] 

  Linden Cullen : As you are probably aware, VNS is usually a treatment used for epileptics.

  Davina MacKenzie : And by the sound of this, an expensive one.

  Linden Cullen : Well we have to try *something*.

  Connie Beauchamp : Yeah, but something *so* experimental...

  Linden Cullen : VNS implants work by exerting control over intractable epileptics. Now in principle why shouldn't they control Mrs Taylor's seizures in the same fashion?

  Connie Beauchamp : That's fine - I understand how it works, but you could impede blood flow to the brain.

  Davina MacKenzie : Not to mention cash flow to the ITU.
