Hari Dhillon: Michael Spence

Quotes 

• Henrik Hanssen : I believe you summoned me.

  Michael Spence : Yes. Mr Hanssen, Ms Robinson. She's having one of her clients transferred to one of our private rooms in Holby Care.

  Henrik Hanssen : You're not happy with the care she's being given here on Darwin ward?

  Pippa Robinson : I don't like your doctor's attitude.

  Henrik Hanssen : Oh, you don't?

  Pippa Robinson : She needs a C-section now - they need to get that baby out of her.

  Henrik Hanssen : [sarcastically]  I *do* apologise - I didn't realise you were an obstetrician.

  Pippa Robinson : I'm a lawyer, specialising in litigation.

  Henrik Hanssen : Of course you are.

  Pippa Robinson : She's putting that baby's life at risk. Anyone can see that.

  Henrik Hanssen : Surgeons only cut when they have to. You think if you flash your Gold Card at Mr Spence he'll have your friend sliced open at your say-so? She has a mitral stenosis and this is a cardio-thoracic ward. If you have any *real* interest in your friend's well-being, you'll leave her where she is.

  [Hanssen and Spence walk away from Pippa and carry on their conversation] 

  Henrik Hanssen : I know you love your little toy-shop downstairs, but it doesn't exist just so you can fleece vulnerable patients.

  Michael Spence : Er, wait a minute. It's not about fleecing anyone. It's about patient choice.

  Henrik Hanssen : A patient with a heart condition should be on a heart ward. If you want to make money by stiffing bottom-feeders, then I suggest you stick to Botox and breasts. It might rather suit you.
