Jalaal Hartley: Tom O'Dowd

Quotes 

• [Maddy is showing Tom some unconventional entries in a patient's notes] 

  Maddy Young : What's that?

  Tom O'Dowd : "Hip". I wondered about that - there's no signs of any hip problems.

  Maddy Young : No, there wouldn't be. And that?

  Tom O'Dowd : "Dag". Didn't notice that.

  Maddy Young : "Hip" short for "hippo", slang for "hypochrondriac".

  Tom O'Dowd : Well, how was I to know?

  Maddy Young : The lesson is: question everything.

  Tom O'Dowd : And "dag"?

  Maddy Young : Short for "Dagenham" - it's just beyond "Barking".
