clint, my godfather john rainone (who played the doctor) told me stories about how his dad, who was a big surgeon at Parkland hospital in Dallas, used to let him come in and watch these intense operations when he was young. That was apparently one of the things he heard his dad say at one point during surgery. :) There were several other lines that he took from his dad.....His dad had wanted him to be a doctor; he instead became an actor so that he could play a doctor in this film...heh. :)
Nice effort! However, the ending came across weak, imo. The character should've been given the balls to tell his good news too. It could have been a great opportunity to present a very uncomfortable phone moment where congratulations end up being painfully awkward on both sides of that phone. With the guy then laying his wife's photo down and calling someone (probably to say he couldn't make it to the hospital), just made him a real SOB...losing a profoundness somehow. Otherwise, good technique.
