Ben Casey (1961)
Ben Casey is an American medical drama series which ran on ABC from 1961 to 1966. The show was known for its opening titles, which consisted of a hand drawing the symbols "♂, ♀, ✳, †, ∞" on a chalkboard, as cast member Sam Jaffe intoned, "Man, woman, birth, death, infinity." Neurosurgeon Joseph Ransohoff was a medical consultant for the show and may have influenced the personality of the title character.

""Were I a nightingale, I would act like one."" (Epictetus)
A lifetime of hard work seems undesirable for an intern.
It couldn't be called ungentle, But how thoroughly departmental. Frost
""Like a patient etherized upon a table.""
""Tell the truth or trump—but get the trick."" (Twain)
Meantime we shall express our darker purpose. Give me the map there. Know that we have divided In three our kingdom: and 'tis our fast intent To shake all cares and business from our age; Conferring them on younger strengths, while we Unburthen'd crawl toward death. King Lear
The agony and the estimate: trigeminal neuralgia, the tic douloureux.
Courts adieu, and all delights, All bewitching appetites; Sweetest breath, and clearest eye, Like perfumes go out and die; And consequently this is done, As shadows wait upon the sun. Vain the ambition of kings, Who seek by trophies and dead things, To leave a living name behind, And weave but nets to catch the wind. O you have wrought a miracle, and melted A heart of adamant: you have compris'd In this dumb pageant, a right excellent form Of penitence. John Webster, The Devil's Law-Case
""No gardener has died within rosaceous memory."" (Beckett)
You pays your money and you takes your choice.
