Why Thornton Reed went into medicine - Darkplace: The Creeping Moss From the Shores of Shuggoth

Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace: The Creeping Moss from the Shores of Shuggoth (#1.6) (2004) Dr Liz Asher: [talking about a patient that has turned green] Apparently she was in for a routine operation to get her toe shortened which was really long like a finger, the next thing she knew this happened. All in all you could say that she’s a little off color. [Thorton, Liz, and Dagless all laugh] Dr Lucien Sanchez: [shouts] You shut your mouth Liz! Dr. Rick Dagless: No you shut your mouth Sanch, that was funny. Look, if we lose our sense of humor in this place we might as well all go and kill ourselves. Dean Learner: Dag’s right. After all, the reason I got into medicine in the first place was for the laughs. That and the pussy, and that dried up ten years ago if you pardon the expression.
