...more superficial, intemperate and inaccurate document than the report, I have never seen. . . . This board is not in good faith. It assumes, after a few hours of cavalier inquiry and prejudiced and one-sided testimony, to pass on codes upon which we have spent days and weeks of inquiry and negotiation. . . . This board has missed a great opportunity for a real public service. As it is now acting, it is of no service to anybody-it is a political sounding board. . . .

...George's, its shiny washrooms, its clean corridors and the house telephone service to get in the way of a simple, disagreeable story. More outspoken and more serious than the cinemas of the hospital saga of a year or two ago, the film is a harrowingly honest document. Good shot: Laura Hudson learning the lesson Dr. Hochberg wants to teach her, from Dr. Ferguson's impatient fury when she touches him, sterile after his scrub-up, with her bare hands in the operating room...
