First Aid's visor dims, his version of a frown. He knows this is his just desserts for all the mistakes he's made, but... "I wouldn't make up or exaggerate something like that, Bart," he says quietly, trying not to sound hurt. "Not about medicine. It's too important to be sentimental about."

He looks down at Bart's notes. "Needing to collaborate with others on a case like this isn't anything to be embarrassed about. Actually, on my Earth it'd be normal. For a surgery like we were just talking about, there could be as many as eight people in the room while it was going on. The anesthesiologist, the head surgeon, his assistant, nurses to monitor the patient...and for a burn patient, there'd be even more specialists coming in and out. Trying to do it all with just the two of us, plus Sally...if it weren't so necessary, I'd wonder if we'd gone crazy."
