This reminds me of a rather heated exchange between Holmes and Watson in the BBC series 'Sherlock'.
For a bit of background, Sherlock Holmes is basically a private investigator and Dr John Watson is a discharged army medic / captain.
Sherlock keeps John around as he has a pretty handy set of skills, but it isn't unheard of for their exchanges to get rather heated, bringing me back to the scene your quote reminds me of:
""You want to remember, Sherlock, that I was a soldier. I killed people."
"You were a doctor!"
"I had bad days!"
