In every [[Medical Drama]], almost every [[Cop Show]], basically any show where the characters often have someone else's life/future in their hands, there will come a time when they will fail and the person they're trying to save will die (or wind up paralyzed, or in jail, or some other long-term bad thing). [[My Greatest Failure|The character will feel incredibly guilty,]] but an understanding friend or colleague - sometimes even the person whose life they just ruined - will insist, "You did everything you could" or "You tried your best" or variants thereof. Sometimes the character will [[I Did What I Had to Do|say the phrase him/herself]], in which case the "you" becomes "I."
