- [Linden wants to perform an expensive but possibly life-saving experimental treatment on a patient. Davina is opposed to it because of the cost]
- Linden Cullen: As you are probably aware, VNS is usually a treatment used for epileptics.
- Davina MacKenzie: And by the sound of this, an expensive one.
- Linden Cullen: Well we have to try *something*.
- Connie Beauchamp: Yeah, but something *so* experimental...
- Linden Cullen: VNS implants work by exerting control over intractable epileptics. Now in principle why shouldn't they control Mrs Taylor's seizures in the same fashion?
- Connie Beauchamp: That's fine - I understand how it works, but you could impede blood flow to the brain.
- Davina MacKenzie: Not to mention cash flow to the ITU.
