Have those been sterilized?

No, Dr. Sugg. I forgot. Oh, well, that
changes the whole picture. As long as

don't really mean to spread infection,
it really doesn't count. Go to the head

of the class.

I'm sorry, Dr. Sugg. Don't be sorry. Be
safe.

The one thing around here that isn't in
short supply is water. So for the last

time, when you replace an instrument,
sterilize it. Doctor.

Doctor.

My wife.

Mrs. Stewart. Mrs.

Stewart.

Get him started on penicillin. 400 ,000
units.

She come out, girl.

Watch out, Jagger.

I'll fix a fresh one.

You give it to him.

Are you all right, Tony?

and checked the boy thoroughly.

I think all he needs now is some rest.

We could use some of that ourselves.

I finished my inventory, so there's no
point in putting off the trip any

Oh, good.

When will you be leaving?

Oh, as soon as I can get a plane. A
little lower.

No, to the other side.

Oh.

This time I'm coming back with a decent
autoclave and an x -ray machine.

Remind me to wire Gillespie.

Will you be gone long?

Oh, as long as it takes.

Well, just adding the new wing is going
to cost us $50 ,000.

I don't know, a month.

Maybe two.

I'll miss you.

Oh, you won't. You're coming along.

To America?

Yeah.

We'll find someone in New Delhi to stand
by.

Unless you want to take your vacation
someplace else.

Oh, Tony, I'm so glad.

I'll help with the fundraising.

I'll help every way I can.

Just me.

Take you up on that.

He's not on yet? Marry or sorry?

Say, Doc, I know interns can't take
money.

Lately, I've had this terrible pain in
my side.

Got any ideas?

Maybe a belt to touch.

I can see now why they don't charge.

Good morning, sir. Still nothing on the
horizon.

Everything's all set upstairs.

Well, let me know as soon as they get
here. Yes, sir.

Ness!

Gladys, good to see you.

How are you?

Well, three years older now that you
asked. Ah, you never change.

Here.

Say, did you ever marry that guy in the
Rome office?

Nope, he got away. Ah, too bad.

Say, are you here to do a piece on
Stuart?

Well, that's what the managing editor
said.

Mr. Lacey?

Mr. Lacey, I don't know if you remember
me. Gatson? Joe Gatson?

I was in Normandy on D -Day. Took your
picture when you got back to the beach.

Yes, sir. How are you? Pleasure to see
you again.

One of the first American correspondents
into France.

And you were there.

And you were in your bath in that. Mr.
Lacey, how much space is Highlight's

going to give Dr. Stewart?

Well, I don't know. There's talk about
putting him on the cover. A lot of

think he rates it. What do you think?

Well, I frankly don't know too much
about the man, except for the press

from India, which talk about the
hospital and the good work he's been

Don't you believe the releases?

Well, there's no reason not to.

Our bureau chief in New Delhi says that
the doctor writes most of them himself.

A reception by the hospital staff. Then
lunch at the consulate. No, no, no.

We'll have to skip the luncheon. My
apologies to Mr. Gatry. Maybe tomorrow.

But Dr. Krishna Singh will be there for
the presentation.

No, no. That happens at the banquet
tonight.

I'm afraid not, sir.

Dr. Christoffing is flying back to New
York this afternoon.

New York?

Yes.

A meeting of the World Health Committee
has been called. Well, that's Jim Dandy.

Can't they get along without him for
just one day?

Tony, what's the difference where the
award is presented as long as you get

Well, I'll tell you the difference.

The only difference... Excuse us, Mr.
Deere.

That tin medal of Krishna's isn't worth
a hoot unless I can squeeze some

publicity out of it.

Unless that presentation is made at the
banquet tonight, I just assume that he

mailed it to me in a plain wrapper.

But he's leaving for New York.

He hasn't left yet.

As soon as we get to the hospital, you
phone him at the consulate.

Now, we haven't discussed this. I didn't
ask you to do it.

But you happen to know that I am
bitterly disappointed that he's gone

his word.

Put it just that way, gone back on his
word. But he hasn't exactly gone back on

his word. You tell him the facts of
life.

My hospital is exclusively devoted to
caring for the sick in a backward

of his country. And if he can't spare 12
hours away from the bright lights to

help me continue my work, maybe I just
ought to pack up and come back home for

good. Tony.

And if that doesn't get him, you tell
him that I'm in a lousy enough mood to

cable his prime minister.

And I am.

Then we'll see how long he holds on to
that cushy job in Manhattan Tony I can't

talk to him that way. Well, I can I'd be
delighted

for the moment, I'm just glad to be
back.

I'm happy to see so many of you still at
Blair.

I'd like to introduce my wife, Ronnie.

Isn't she a doll?

I intend to take that introduction
personally.

Dr. Gillespie. I've waited a long time
for this, Doctor.

Welcome, Tony.

Any accommodations for a tired old
doctor from India? Business is booming.

about that couch in the intern's lounge?

Have you ever fixed the broken spring?

No, you can't make it too comfortable
for them.

Dr. Stewart, would you... Ladies and
gentlemen of the press, if you would

me a few minutes to renew acquaintance
with my old boss, I would like to talk

about my hospital.

Is there any place we can use?

Oh, yes. Yes, of course.

Dr. Capish. Yes, sir. Will you show the
press to the conference room? Yes, this

way. I won't be long. You go ahead and
keep them smiling.

Dr. Kildare.

Yes, sir. Will you accompany Mrs.
Stewart?

Pleasure.

You're Kildare. Yes, sir.

I used to be crown prince around here
myself.

Crown prince?

Is he as good as I was?

Oh, there's a chance he may get his
license.

Come along.

How does your husband know me?

Dr. Gillespie has mentioned you quite
favorably in his letters.

His letters?

You don't happen to have one with you,
do you?

I'm afraid not.

Is there a phone I could use before we
go upstairs?

Yes, about the time.

Well, Tony, what's on your mind? We've
got these reporters waiting, you know.

Well, I have to let you in on something
first, Dr. Gillespie.

I didn't come home this time just to
raise money.

There's something wrong with my arm.

First, I thought it was temporary, but
it's been getting worse.

Some cramping, but no real root pain.
That's what scares me.

Any lot to move upon?

Oh, comes and goes.

What about the other arm? No, not a
thing.

Weakness in the leg? No.

Is Kreutzer still on the staff?

What makes you think you need a
neurologist? The symptoms.

What are the choices? A brain tumor, a
myotrophic, or an intramedullary glioma?

Or none of them.

You've got yourself dead and buried on
the skimpiest evidence I've ever heard.

Well, you'll see what Kreutzer says.

When can you check in?

Tomorrow. All right.

Have you said anything to your wife
about this?

Generally.

I just assumed nobody else knew about
it.

They think all I've come back to do is
pick their pockets. I wouldn't want to

disappoint them.

As you say.

Let's get to the reporter.

Mrs. Stewart, what's the worst disease
in India today?

Ignorance.

I'm serious.

In some areas, the most elementary rules
of hygiene are unknown.

For instance?

The need to purify water before
drinking.

Mr. Stewart, would you mind stepping
over this way, please? I'd like to get a

picture of you with the cake.

Mr. Stewart, how does the Indian woman
view marriage?

With eager anticipation.

Would you look down and smile?

Thank you.

Mr. Stewart, would you tell us more
about your personal life? How long you

married? How you met the doctor? Things
like that. She's 26.

The best nurse west of the international
date line.

We've been married four years, and she
did not meet me. I met her, and that

some doing.

Doctor, how'd you happen to pick India
as a place to set up your practice?

Well, I felt I could be useful there.

See, I was stationed in the CBI during
the war. Oh, that was long before I ever

became a doctor.

Now, in many of the backcountry
villages, there is no such thing as

A cut on the hand can be a death
sentence.

I had to do something about it, that's
all.

Oh, it's still bad.

In my hospital, some days we treat a
hundred outpatients.

What are your annual operating costs?

Astronomical. Have you tried for federal
aid?

No.

No, I'd rather not. People in foreign
countries think there's a string

whenever another government gives them
anything.

Besides, I've been pretty lucky getting
voluntary contributions so far.

Private money's tight lately.

Does your campaign have any...

Angles or gimmicks?

No, just the same old thing.

I'm trying to save lives.

Please help me.

Well, at least it's honest.

What do you got in there, Doc? Your
laundry? Oh, I forgot.

An unlucky patient.

Souvenir from India.

Did you shoot it, Doc? I got tired of
patching up his victims. You might call

preventive medicine.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, how about
some repression? Mrs. Webber will think

we're neglecting her. Mrs.

Webber? Oh, Lucy.

Oh, how do you stay so young?

Oh, you get on with that, son.

Would you believe it? I happen to know
that she is 25 and she's a day.

Don't get coy. Remember the old days?

All right, all right. My wife's
starving.

Thank you.

Dr. Kildare. Yes, sir. Are you going to
be at the banquet tonight?

Well, no. The tickets are all sold out.

Oh, well, I can get you a seat at the
press table if you like.

Sure.

After all, it's a free meal.

You can always arrange an emergency
call. The doctor speeches that, too.

What you see in these films, your
pharmaceutical industry helped to make

possible. Before you and others like
you, grubs take me, most of these people

have never seen a doctor.

A hospital was a place to go to and die.

At the Stewart Hospital, I have given
hope where before there was only

Dollars, dimes, nickels, pennies, I'll
take anything.

These kids are sick and someone has to
help them.

If you'll pitch in and foot the bill, I
promise to stretch every cent as

far as I can.

Now, when you give, remember the old
Sanskrit proverb that reminds us.

That all we can hold in our two dead
hands is what we have given away.

May I ask what it is you've been
counting?

I? Me?

My and mine.

What? These are Dr. Stewart's favorite
pronouns.

An occasional we creeps in, but the
percentage is negligible.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is my
great pleasure to present the

distinguished physician and educator
from India, advisor to the Committee on

World Health, Dr.

Krishna Singh.

on the behalf of my government.

But the words I say are those of a
friend.

I have known your Dr. Stewart since his
first arrival in my country, and I know

of the difficulties which he had to
face, the delays and the disappointments

which would have discouraged a lesser
man.

But, like few others of my acquaintance,
Dr.

Stewart has learned the value of
persistence.

And so, my people gradually learned that
this man had not come to take, but to

give of his skill and his energy.

And now, because of your extraordinary
contributions to the health and welfare

of my countrymen, I am greatly honored
to present to you, Dr. Anthony Stewart,

the Mahatma Gandhi Award, with the
gratitude of the government and the

India, whom you have served so well.

Thank you.

I knew, of course, that I was going to
get this.

They always let you know in advance so
that you'll be sure to show up.

But, nevertheless, it does move me
deeply.

Now, under ordinary circumstances, this
would be the moment to kick off the

campaign, to get the ball rolling for
contributions.

You know the speech. I've made it
before.

But I have another reason for coming
home this time.

Speaking frankly, I need a physical
checkup.

Well,

I don't know what it is, but my cutting
arm has been acting up.

Well, we'll see what Dr.

Gillespie and his crew of experts can
figure out.

The main thing is that I shall have to
depend a great deal on my wife, Ronnie,

for the speech -making and the doorbell
ringing while I'm in the hospital

waiting for the verdict.

I will appreciate any help that you can
give her.

Thank you.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Did you know that Stewart had come in
for a checkup? No, I didn't.

I have a feeling Gillespie did.

Please don't do that.

Doctor, can you give us an idea how
serious it is? Not until the diagnosis

completed. How long will that be? At
least a few days. What's Dr. Stewart

he's got? With all due respect to Dr.

Stewart, at this stage, it could only be
guesswork.

Can you describe the symptoms?

The few that we know are common to so
many things, they would be misleading.

Sir, would it be possible for us to see
Dr. Stewart?

I realize that all of you have your jobs
to do, but so do we. Dr. Stewart is a

patient here.

But if you will select a person
agreeable to the rest of you, I'll

put him through. I nominate me.

Sorry. Has to be someone who can read
and write.

How did you like the film last night?

Oh, it was great.

Push your hand against mine, please.

Ever thought about doing that kind of
work?

You looking for an assistant?

Maybe a replacement.

Took me six years to build my hospital.
It survived a fire, flood, and an

earthquake.

I want to be sure it survives me.

Ever have any numbness?

No. Any tingling? No. Pain?

Cramping sensation once in a while.

Feel anything? No.

Tickles. What next?

All the routine stuff. Blood tests,
chest x -rays, cardiograph.

And Dr. Kreitzer's series.

Excuse me, can I come in?

Oh, by all means, Mr. Lacey.

I've been elected copy boy.

The others feel that since I don't have
any deadlines to make, they might get a

fair shake. I work for Weekly.

Oh, yes, I know.

I'm not interfering with anything
important, am I?

So far, I can report that you look good,
doctor. How do you feel?

I'm still waiting to find out.

You must have some idea about what ails
you.

Oh, sure.

But I could be wrong.

That's a good quote.

Feel free to use it.

Well, I can't, but the others might.

By the time we go to press, there might
be stale news.

Oh, I hope so.

Dr. Cratchit's a neurologist, isn't he?

Yes, he is.

Well now things are looking up. That's
the first straight answer. I got from a

doctor all day Better luck tomorrow It's
comforting to

know that I have an inside source of
information Anything else you'd like to

tell me sorry

Capish, you ordered potassium iodide for
this patient?

Yes, sir. Why?

Well, she was coughing a great deal,
sir.

It says here that thyroid function
studies are scheduled.

Thyroid function?

Mm -hmm. You realize, of course, the
medication you've ordered will impair

iodine uptake studies?

Yes, sir. I do now, sir.

I trust in future you'll take the
trouble to read the chart.

Yes, sir.

Is this your diagnosis, Dr. Kildare?

Yes, sir, Mrs. O 'Hara.

You say disseminated lupus. How did you
arrive at that?

Well, the patient has arthritis, fever,
and a palpable spleen.

Why not rheumatoid arthritis?

She also has leukopenia and positive LE
cell tests.

Fair enough.

Thank you, doctor.

I hate to say it, Doctor, but I think
you're mellowing.

Eavesdropping. Where are you going?

I have some pictures taken.

You spend more time in bed and less
giving interviews and posing for

photographers. Take straight pictures,
Doctor.

You can't tell, I may still make the
cover of the medical journal.

By the way, congratulations.

On what?

On the continued high quality of your
protégés.

Kildare is as good as I was.

Ben, would I take such a chance if I
weren't sure? She's great.

Ben, between you and me and the bedpan,
the film hits much harder when she's

doing the narration.

Oh, wonderful.

Saturday at 6 .30, she'll be there.

Thank you, Ben.

Television personality.

Do I have any mud on my mouth?

Any what?

I should have. I've been licking a man's
boots for the past half hour.

I hope you weren't offended.

Not in the least. It's an old American
custom denoting approval.

It's an international custom, Doctor.

I hope my husband approves. Oh, he'll
flip.

Flip? Oh, approve in a very big way.

It's time for your appointment with Dr.
Kreitzer.

You're right with you.

Tony, do you like it?

I bought it for the luncheon.

I like it fine.

And if you hurry...

You may still have time to change.

But why?

Because you're making an appeal.

And the women you're going to talk to
want to see someone unique, exotic, not

just a carbon copy of themselves.

But don't you think... Look, let's not
argue the point. Just take my word for

it. I'm an old hand at this.

Whatever you say, Tony.

Take those to one of the wards.

Ms. Weber.

Would you pass the word that I'm here to
collect money, not flowers?

Yes.

Something else you said for a television
interview on the Ben Ballard show

Saturday night. Man sounds like a
nitwit, but the days are quite a

All right.

You want to bet?

Open sesame.

Well, hello.

I was just on my way up to see you. Oh,
stay on board for the ride.

You owe me another hundred rupees.

Kill the people.

One of the local newspapers wants to
start a fund to buy you a piece of

equipment. All you have to do is name
it. X -ray machine.

Without it, orthopedics is like flying
blind.

Well, what's on the agenda this morning?

Lumbar puncture.

What was that for a release?

You're the newsboy.

Don't forget to spell my name right.

Any sign of a block?

You're only a patient now, doctor.

I hope it was not too uncomfortable.

No, no, no, just uninformative.

As soon as we correlate our findings,
you will be the first to know.

Thanks a lot.

I think we had better arrange for some
cervical spine films.

Come on in.

all I can do.

Pretty lousy, huh?

Well, they'll get better.

Wouldn't you know it? My brother is a
natural -born Southpaw.

Was he a doctor, too?

No.

Real estate.

He thinks I'm some kind of nut.

He's right.

Well, you're not going to need this.

Out of its intermediary, all I need is a
wooden box.

Well, who says it is?

Listen, pal, you're talking to old Doc
Stewart, the ex -boy wonder. I wrote the

book.

It's that or am I atrophic?

Except... If it's amyotrophic, I'll have
a few more years.

I can give a lot of help to the man
who's going to take my place.

How about it, Jim?

Goblin, my foot.

I'm offering you half interest in a
nightmare.

In this country, there are 235 ,000
doctors to take care of

180 million people.

And we think we need more.

In India, there are 77 ,000 to care for

440 million.

You'll be treating diseases that you
thought went out with the Middle Ages.

When it isn't raining 24 hours a day,
it's so hot it'll boil your eyeballs.

You won't sleep four hours a night.

By the time you're 35, you'll look 50.

You won't save a cent.

But every move you make will count.

You'll never feel so useful or so
needed.

Or do more good anyplace else in the
world.

Think it over.

I will.

The films you have seen tonight have
been shocking and depressing, but

challenging.

Mrs. Stewart, before the show, you gave
me some figures on infant mortality in

your country. Would you mind repeating
them for the audience, please?

One out of every ten babies dies in the
first year of its life.

You're like little kids before they're
even able to walk.

The patients say that they can afford,
but seldom want money.

Hi, Doc.

Hi, Mac.

Thanks.

Chicken, fruit, or vegetables.

Hey, doctor.

There's a seat open here at the press
box.

They need to feel that they too are
contributing what they can to the

Mrs. Stewart, the pharmaceutical
industry in this country has been quite

to the doctor, hasn't it?

Very. You do like to count things, don't
you?

Oh, yes.

That eliminates a lot of guesswork later
on.

Any late bulletins on Stewart?

Dr. Stewart? Doctor?

No, not that I know of.

Well, it's almost three weeks since he
left Mother India.

Gosh, I wonder how she's holding up.

In a single village, 70 out of 100
people are blind from trachoma.

The average life expectancy is 42 years.

I see.

What's the most unusual... Oh, by the
way,

You can tell Stuart he can get his X
-ray machine.

Shall I tell him how delighted you are?
I am neither delighted nor downcast,

Doctor. The nature of my work prohibits
that.

I'm paid to make detached observations.

Detached?

That's what I said, detached.

I let the reader draw his own
conclusions.

See, an informed public is an informed
public.

Thomas Jefferson said that. He was a
great man.

He never made a grandstand play in his
whole life.

You think Dr. Stewart's a grandstander?

Now, whatever put that idea in your
head?

Just what is it about Dr. Stewart that
bugs you so much?

Traumatically speaking, I've known guys
like that all my life.

Seen glamour and adventure oozing out of
their pores. You know, during the war,

we called them glory hunters.

They were the guys who were headline
hungry. You know the type.

What he's done deserves a headline.

Really?

You ever been down to the slums?

Now, they have doctors down there,
dedicated doctors.

The doctors who work around the clock
against odds are just as big.

The only difference is that you don't
see their names in the newspapers or

pictures in the national magazines, and
they don't pick up medals at banquets

because they're not like Stewart.
They're not glory boys.

Look, he turned on some very big offers
to go out there.

It was no small sacrifice.

Are you kidding?

Why, here he'd be just another cog in
the wheel. Out there, he's alone.

He's like a god.

And to a guy like Stewart, that is no
sacrifice.

Thank you, Mrs. Stewart.

Our subject tonight has been Dr.

Anthony Stewart, a symbol to the entire
world.

I've got to get back.

All right, see you soon.

Please send your contributions to this
station or directly to Dr. Stewart.

at Blair General Hospital.

Thank you very much.

All right.

The contributions start right here.

Didn't I tell you she'd be great?

Of course I saw it, Ben. I've got it set
right here.

What? They what?

Oh, that's wonderful.

Of course.

Of course. All the cooperation in the
world. I don't know how to thank you.

just a minute. Wait a minute. She just
came in. I'll call you back. Thanks a

million. Oh, honey.

Honey, you were sensational.

That was Ballard just hung up. He says
that that switchboard's been lit up ever

since you got off the air. And the
station is planning a telethon next

Three hours. Every big name in show
business.

That's wonderful.

Oh, you're tired.

What's this?

I ran into Mr. Lacey in the lobby.

He said they collected it at Max.

Every little bit helps.

He called it proof of my effectiveness.

Who said that?

Mr. Lacey.

He'd been drinking.

He says I'm just what you need.

You are?

I never made any secret of that.

But for what?

To pass the hat?

To make the speeches?

Is that all?

You know it isn't.

How do I know?

My eyes weren't shut when I married you.

You needed help.

A nurse.

Translator. A teacher.

But I was foolish enough to think you
needed a wife as well.

What did you want with a wife?

You had a hospital.

It would have been better for us both if
I hadn't loved you.

Look, I know it's tough for you, a
stranger in a strange country.

But this isn't exactly a picnic for me
either, this waiting. And I want to wait

with you.

But you begrudge what little time you
can spare me.

And even that is spent telling me what
to wear, what to do, what gestures

to make.

What, jokes to tell?

Lacey was right.

Your only need for me to tell your
story.

Who could tell it better?

Yes, I used you.

Same way as I used this.

Only I had the crazy idea that you
wanted to help your people.

Ronnie!

You say there's a definite sensory
impairment.

But the distribution indicates a
mechanical thing.

What did the lumbar puncture show?

Increased protein and evidence of a
block.

These films are inconclusive, but the
myelograms localize it to level.

Then what do you suggest?

I think there is a cord compression,
some sort of a tumor.

If it's intramedullary, there is little
we can do.

If it's extramedullary, we can hope to
resect it.

Well, Kratzer, it's neurosurgery.

He came through in fine shape.

Dr. Gillespie's with him now in the
recovery room.

It was what they thought?

It looked like a meningioma.

Benign? Well, they usually are.

Pathology's running sections on it now,
and they'll give us the final report,

but I wouldn't worry.

You good?

You should.

You're going to be fine.

You hope.

More than hope.

The pathology report says there's no
sign of pregnancy.

That's great.

They've been coming in all day.

Telegrams, cables.

A lot of them from movie stars offering
to appear on the telephone.

Wire them back and say we accept.

I already have.

Good girl.

Has the report gone to the press?

No. I thought you'd want to announce it
yourself.

Yeah.

I'm sorry about the other night.

For what?

I know I'm the worst husband in the
world.

I couldn't tell you then because you
wouldn't have believed it.

I love you more than anything in the
world.

Anything.

Paste that in your hat and keep it
there.

That's one topic we shouldn't have to
argue about.

We won't.

You still want to trade me in?

I'd probably get another just like you.

Don't count on it. There aren't many of
us left.

Good.

What do you want for breakfast?

Money.

You see, I have this hospital.

Good night.

I wouldn't say the money was exactly
rolling in down there.

It'll pick up when Dr. Stewart comes on.

He's a real spellbiter.

I thought he was still in the hospital.

They had to let him out for this.

It's his baby.

He's the bravest man I've ever heard of.
So what's to be brave? You should know

the trouble I had when they took my
appendix out. He's dying, you dope.

when? Well, it's right in the paper.

All I said was he had a tumor.

Well, what kind of a tumor? That's what
the paper doesn't let you know.

Hi, Mac.

Hey, uh...

I thought you guys went for round -the
-spot coverage.

Why aren't you down in the studio?

Well, there's plenty of time. Let me
have a beer.

Yeah, listen.

Settle an argument, will you? Sure.

He's from the press, Mitchie.

Is Dr.

Stewart covering up his real condition?

Well, I wouldn't be surprised.

See?

Well, there must be some way they can
tell. Aren't there tests they can make

a thing like that?

Yes, but the results of the test haven't
been released yet.

I've got it.

There's only one copy in the files.
Good. One's all I need.

You're on next. Ballard's announcing you
now.

Tony, maybe when you tell them you're
going to be all right and they know you

can go on, that won't bring in an extra
dime.

Doctors, do it. You're on. I'll be right
with you.

I need some moral support. Come on.

Wonderful,

wonderful. Thank you very much, and I
hope you'll stay around and sing another

song.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, It is my
pleasure and my privilege to introduce

the man behind the Stewart Hospital.

As a man of courage and selflessness,
he's shown at its best by his appearance

here this evening.

As you all know, he underwent serious
surgery just six days ago, but that

stop him. He's standing in the wings,
and I know you'll want to hear a few

from Dr.

Anthony Stewart.

I simply want to thank you and all the
great entertainers who've come here

tonight to give of their time and talent
and to assure you that no matter what

happens, Stuart Hospital will go on.

By way of proof, I'd like you to meet
the man I've asked to be my successor,

James Kildare.

what are you trying to pull? A rabbit
out of my hat?

I may do it soon.

You told those people a lie.

When was that?

I'm not going to be your successor.

All I said was that I'd asked you to be.

Switchboard, this is Dr. Stewart.

Thank you for your prayers.

Listen, if any contributors of over $500
want to talk to me, I'm on extension

14.

Yeah, put them right through. Thank you.

The audience thinks you're going to die.

I am. So is everybody.

Starts the minute we're born.

Anytime I have a hospital to run.

Dr. Stewart, how many calls are there?

Are you sure they're all placed for $500
or more? You'll dare.

Yeah, well, keep the lines open. I'll
speak to them all.

Yes. I'll call you back.

Tony, you're in for some trouble.

Mr. Lacey has a copy of your pathology
report.

Are you in the habit of stealing
hospital records?

No.

But I may take it up.

It makes good reading.

Your move.

I always knew you liked the spotlight,
but I didn't figure you for a fraud.

Who am I defrauding?

All those people who saw you tonight.

Because I made them feel sorry for me.
No, by completely misrepresenting the

state of your health.

All right, you win. Pick up the marbles.

Yes, I misrepresented the state of my
health.

All of a sudden, the phone's ringing off
the hook.

But I did not misrepresent where the
money will go or how much it's needed.

That isn't exactly the point.

No, not exactly, but it's close. Thanks.

If you insist on publishing that, I hope
you'll include a statement.

It's something I've been choking on for
months. I just haven't had the nerve to

spit it out.

The real point.

The tragic point of what I've done
tonight is that the public practically

insists on it.

You can have the worthiest cause in the
world, facts and figures to back it up,

a dozen ironclad reasons why people
should support it in their own self

-interest. But unless you jerk a tear
out of them, they'll sit on their

till judgment day.

All right.

I didn't invent the game, but if those
are the rules, that's the way I'll play

it. Still, that's maybe not...

Not right, but so.

As long as I've stamped out disease in
India, I will be happy to pitch in and

help you change human nature. Yes, Ben?
They want you on stage, Doctor. Nothing

else is going to quiet him down.

I'll be right with you.

Are we still married?

Am I still your star pupil?

One of them.

That offer is still open.

No, thanks.

Good night, Doctor.

There, there.

Yes, sir?

Where do you get your ideas of Doctor?

From old Cronin novels?

No, sir, but I just can't go along with
that kind of a stunt.

Nor can I.

But I understand his motives.

And in the main, they're good motors.
Make no mistake about that.

Well, Lacey had his number all along.
He's nothing but a grandstander.

Partly.

But he's also a very devoted man.

Do you think our profession has room
only for self -effacing scientists who

accomplish great things in obscurity?

No, sir, but... It needs all kinds.

Teachers, researchers, country doctors,
specialists.

It also needs a few grandstanders like
Tony Stewart.

The ones with a touch of glory who know
how to get medicine on the front page

when it has to be done.

And there are times when it does have to
be done.

Oh? Would you say that this is one of
them?

Yes.

You are not going to use that report.

I would hate to bring an action against
you for illegally obtaining a

confidential hospital record.

It won't do any good.

By the time our next addition hits the
stands, we'll be halfway home.

Look at him.

He's halfway home right now.

Thank you.
