Didn't We Almost Have it All?

Being chief is about responsibility. (Every single surgical patient in the hospital is your patient whether you're the one who cut them open or not.

The scalpel stops with you.

You need to be able to look at a family...

And tell them your team did everything they could to save someone's child...

Their husband...

Their wife.

You get caught up...taking care of other people's families.

And the responsibility it makes you...

You take care of other people's families...and you sacrifice your own.

Congratulations. You'll make a fine chief. 

 I'm not the best man for this job.

 You're the best man for this job.  What are you talking about? 

A good chief learns from his mistakes. I'm still working on that. But you...if you had a chance to do it all over again, you'd do it differently. Go ahead. Do it all over again. Be the best man.
