Dr. Grossman



The Splicer model "Dr. Grossman" is one of the roving medical personnel in Rapture. Two versions are present in BioShock: A medical doctor, identified by their white smocks and medical reflectors, and the botanists (found only in Arcadia) who possess blue twill undercoats and wear magnifying headgear for examining plant life in lieu of the medical reflectors. Although their clothing and equipment differ slightly, their dialogue and accent remain generally the same.

Dr. Grossman is overly eager to provide the player with surgery and his dialogue suggests he was very careless as a doctor, and became one slightly for the sake of cutting into people. He is also a germophobe. In BioShock, the Dr. Grossman model can be found in Medical Pavilion, Arcadia and Point Prometheus. J.S. Steinman and the corpse of Yi Suchong appear to be a variation of the Dr. Grossman model. The Dr. Grossman model is voiced by J. G. Hertzler

 * "Amateurs."
 * "Now, answer the door!"
 * "Somebody answer!"

Frozen (Stuttering)

 * "Core... temperature... dropping."
 * "105 over- over 42, falling!"

Examining Corpse

 * "Amazing... He's dead... And, yet, no girls."
 * "The subject... appears to have been ripped apart from the inside... probably a failed teleport."
 * "Well, well, well. This is quite incredible."
 * "Looks... familiar."
 * "Oh, god damn it! Someone get the nurse!"
 * "Well, this could be a little more hygienic."

Idle

 * "I- I try to help, but- sometimes I- I make mistakes... I try to help! But sometimes I- I make mistakes."
 * "Oh, I like it here. None of that regulation stuff. Always slows things down."
 * "A doctor has to touch so many filthy things. It's... disgusting!"
 * "They're always sneezing, I can see death floating in the air."
 * "Can't somebody clean this place up? Scrub it down! It's crawling, crawling!"
 * "I hate the babies, the most. They come out covered in death."
 * "I push when I should pull. A- a man's entitled to a few mistakes."
 * "The patients ask so many questions. Sometimes, I like to make up the answers."
 * "The men all complain about their virility. Well, I can make them soft and sometimes I do."
 * "The Little Ones are filthy, I wish they would die! I don't like them when they're filthy!"
 * "Sometimes I forget which pills are which, I go by color."
 * "When is a fever not a fever...? When I say it isn't!"
 * "Bacteria are microscopic... Heh, that's what they want you to think."

 * "There's semen on everything! Everything!"

Alerted to the Player's Presence

Attacking

 * "Bleed! Aha,BLEED!"

If the Player Runs

 * "Okay, fine! You'll be back!"
 * "Just one more."
 * "I'm opening you up!"
 * "Not now!"
 * "Typical behaviour for someone with your condition."
 * "Quick! Someone, shut the door!"
 * "They're running! Someone, get them!"
 * "Why are you dragging out your treatment?"

Searching for the Player

 * "Nurse! Help me find this patient. Nurse?"
 * "You better come out! I just want to bind your wounds."
 * "It's unsanitary in here, filthy! Come, let me take care of you."
 * "Don't worry... I'm a professional."
 * "I won't hurt you. I just want to see what's inside."
 * "Are you there? The nurse doesn't like you, but I do!"


 * "I swore an oath to do no harm, and I... mostly... meant it."
 * "I don't want to hurt you, but sometimes, I have to..."
 * "Goddamn security around here. We need more hacks."
 * "You'll pass out soon."
 * "This is a waste of time! You know they'll be back and begging for more."
 * "I'm smarter than you! It's only a matter of time before I find you."
 * "I haven't slept in weeks."
 * "How can I help you if you won't come to me?"

Returning to Idle

 * "I guess I'll see him when flu season comes around. Yeah, I'll give him a shot."
 * "He's gone I guess. But I can still smell his disease."
 * "I've got patients to see. No time for distractions."
 * "I guess it was just the wind. O-or was it a dream."
 * "Listen: turns out, there was nothing there. Who would have thought."
 * "I've got to go. I've got to wash my hands. They're filthy. Filthy!"
 * "I-I'm covered in his filth. It's disgusting."
 * "Ya, hide with the rest of the disgusting vermin."
 * "Nurse, clean this place up. We'll call it a day. I'm disgusted."
 * "You won't get any better that way."
 * "Fine. I'll just let him bleed."

Upon Killing the Player

Using a Health Station

 * "The days are getting shorter- no no, that's not right!"

In Arcadia

 * "Crush the parasite!"
 * "Cut out the poison!"
 * "You defile this place!"
 * "You die here and now, parasite!"
 * "The poison! Kill the poison!"
 * "Now!"
 * "This was our home!"
 * "This is our place. Ours!"
 * "Saturnine! Run, run!"
 * "You're dirty. Filthy!"
 * "Oh friend, you've tangled with the wrong people."
 * "Toxic, toxic! Unclean!"
 * "You trifle with the Saturnine?!"

 * "Yes, yes, I help them sleep, and sometimes they wake up again. (chuckles)''
 * " ‘ Oh my mommy, my mommy, where's she gone?' Bah! You'll be with her soon enough, brat!"
 * "Why bother to wash the instruments at all? They'll just be covered in filth again before you know it!"
