The patient is incredibly happy, celebrating with his family in his hospital room, and Turk sees that he has a glass of champagne. For those awaiting liver transplants, alcohol is strictly forbidden. Turk denies the patient the transplant in what at first glance is an incredibly harsh and unforgiving move. Dr. Cox disagrees and is ready to go to war over this favorite patient, but eventually (with the audience) comes to realize that Turk was right. When the stakes are so high there is no tolerance. For such a silly show, it consistently delivers the correct message where so many other shows balk. Thanks for writing this, topher.
