специальная рубрика "дискусьон"

в своём выступлении перед докторами герой Колина Фаррелла обыгрывает два значения фразы «the doctor didn’t make it»:
1. операция была успешной, но сделал её не доктор (буквальный перевод фразы вне контекста);
2. операция была успешной, но вот доктор не выжил (перед этим он рассказывает, что немецкий кардиолог умер, а его пациент жив до сих пор).
