Original subtitles

This is my wife and if you want to get me out of this room, you'll have to arrest to me again.

I've only got two options.

I can let her die or do a heart transplant.

I'll do anything to keep living just as long as I can.

You're not a quitter, Fran. You never have been,

and I am not going to allow you to start becoming one now.

I...

hate you.

(SHOUTING) ..like the eyes and the ears of the devil.

What happened to him?

'Tonight on St Elsewhere...'

Your wife's recovery so far has been remarkable.

Just maybe, I'm the guy that gave her a stroke.

What you're asking me to do

is train these people for a hypothetical war, knowing full well

that half will to be called to the front

and the other half will to be vaporised.

If the bomb drops...

this is how I want to go.

Vijay's still a virgin.

I can't believe it.

Well, of course. How else could I wear white at the wedding?

You Americans have the strangest customs.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've just received a call from Porter General.

We have a heart.

(ALL) All right!

This is absolutely the worst bachelor party

I've ever been to in my entire life.

Well, I'm having a great time.

This film is very educational.

Erlich, you were supposed to get a porno film.

OK, so I made a mistake.

The rental catalogue said the name of the film was Sally Takes A Ride.

Sue me, OK?

Guess that's it.

The worst. Absolutely the worst.

What are you complaining about, Peter? At least you have a date.

Yeah, well, I'm due back at the ER at nine.

Thanks for coming.

So where's the dip?

Sitting beside Vijay.

So is he going to be your best man?

Raju?

Mhm.

(SPEAKS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

LAUGHTER

You see, in my village, we don't do that exactly.

Raju will hold a scarf under which Mina and I will dance.

Will we be able to watch that?

Oh, no. You will be gone by then.

That happens just before we consume the marriage.

That's consummate, Vijay. Consummate.

Does Raju get to watch?

Not once he blows out the candle.

That's the part I'm looking most forward to.

It'll be the first time for both of us.

Vijay, I'm a little confused.

Are you telling us... that you're a virgin?

Well, of course. How else could I wear white at a wedding?

OK.

Vijay's a what?

That's what he told us at the party.

Don't touch me! Will somebody please help me! >

It burns like the eyes and ears of the devil!

What happened to him?

We were working at the same garage.

He was under a convertible and the jack slipped.

EKG, chest x-rays stat.

Start 6ml of nasal oxygen, possible cardiac contusion.

Anything else?

Last couple months, he's been acting weird.

And dropping weight like crazy.

Please, don't touch me!

You, get restraints.

Satan's in my throat! He's reaching for my soul!

He doesn't need a doctor but an exorcist.

Give him CBC, lytes, glucose, ABG. TSH T3, T4.

Don't you want a toxicity screening?

Yeah...

Pressure's sky-high. 230/120.

My guts are erupting. The end of the world is near!

So's the end of my shift, pal.

Heartbeat, 120 and bounding.

Give him Haldol 5mg IM. We've got to calm this man down.

Oh, no. Help me.

Help me!

OK, I'll keep the old Cobalt machine,

but the psych ward is the wrong place to make cuts.

There are a lot of freeloaders in psych. You've got one guy

who works at the news stand outside the courthouse.

Old Hilly. We're easing him in to self-sufficiency.

We're not a welfare institution.

Hilly stays till he's ready.

OK, I'm too tired to fight about this one.

Let's call it a night.

By the way, did you read

the Defence Department's Hospital Contingency Plan?

Oh, yeah. It's a classic.

It scared the hell out of me.

Are they serious?

Asking us for written commitments to treat

military personnel in the event of a nuclear war?

Doesn't say anything about a nuclear war.

I quote -

"A future large-scale war overseas"

"that will probably begin and end very rapidly"

"and produce casualties at a higher rate than any other war in history."

Seems reasonable to prepare for emergencies.

They're not talking about a fire drill here.

I don't want any part of it.

Well, then we've got a problem.

I've already signed us up for it.

I just looked in on your wife.

She's doing OK.

Well, she still won't see me.

Yeah, I know.

Listen, I got a little feisty the other night. I...

hope you don't hold it against me.

No, no, I understand.

She's your wife.

If it was my wife, I'd probably do the same thing.

How long have you been married, Morrison?

Six years.

Six years?

Six years? Young and foolish.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's worked out pretty well, though.

Yeah?

Which isn't to say we haven't had hard times,

mixing careers and family.

Fran didn't even want a career.

Until the kids got out of school, anyway, then she went back to college. Sociology.

I said, "Give me a break! Take an MBA course."

Me and my big mouth, I should have let her do what she wanted to do.

Sounds like you had her best interests at heart.

Well, I think that's true.

I really think I do have her best interests at heart,

but for some reason, I can't seem to get that message across.

To the kids either. They...

they act like I'm some kind of tyrant.

I don't think they do.

Yeah, they do. They treat me like I'm the enemy, and...

maybe I am.

I don't know. I...

Maybe I have to learn to back off to let them do their own thing,

whatever.

Mr Singleton, your wife's recovery so far has been remarkable.

And that's as much your doing as any of us here.

And maybe, just maybe,

I'm the guy that gave her a stroke.

Ah!

You can't think like that.

A month ago, if anybody asked me,

I would've said I was the happiest guy in the whole world.

Now I've got nothing. Nothing.

I'm not doing any good around here. I'm going to go home.

You know where to find me, if you need me.

You got my number?

Mhm.

Dr Westphall.

Yes, Peter?

I need to talk to you about a patient of mine on ER.

Mr Hopson.

He's in thyroid storm.

Wait a minute, Peter, that's a fairly uncommon disorder.

What are the symptoms?

Restlessness, fine hand tremor, history of weight-loss,

exophthalmos, lid lag, red streaking in the skin,

sensitivity to cold, BP's up, heart beat's rapid,

and his thyroid functions are highly elevated.

I recommend iodine-131.

It's tricky stuff.

What about treating with PTU if his scan is positive?

He came up leukopenic. His white cell count's low, 1,500.

PTU is contraindicated.

What about surgery?

Can't. It's too dangerous because of the injury.

Well, then iodine-131 it is.

Ever worked with nuclear medicine?

Nope.

Benzig in radiation therapy says I have to get you to sign this.

It's sometimes very difficult spot hyperthyroidism, Peter.

Nice diagnosis.

Thanks, sir.

91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100.

Orange juice, freshly squeezed.

No pips?

I think I got them all.

Thank God Conrad's going to retire to Florida.

He wasn't much of a surgeon, but he sure knows his citrus.

Hold my ankles.

Oh, Mark. I'm too old for this.

You're too old for this.

Do it, I have to be ready to go the distance.

All right.

Now, count.

One.

Two.

Two-and-a-half.

PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Oh, hello. Yes, just a minute.

Your mother.

Cut it short.

Hi, Mom. Is anything wrong?

Oh, that's good.

Six o'clock in the morning, for Pete's sake!

Listen, Mom, we're going to have to keep this line open.

Why does she do things like that?

Just in case a donor becomes available,

Mark has to go into the hospital and do the transplant.

You bet it's important to him.

Tell her you'll call her back.

Of course, we'll be driving up for Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving, for crying out loud!

I love you too, Mom. Bye-bye.

OK, I think we're at two and a half.

I'm going to go to the hospital.

Are you going to take a shower first?

Yeah, right.

You know what happened to me the other day?

I left a surgical stitch in Mr Serka.

I mean, he almost walked out of St Eligius

with one of my stitches in him.

Oh, Mark. It's just a stitch. It's no big deal.

I never made a blunder like that before.

Afraid you're slipping?

Don't ever say that.

Look, sweetheart.

I know you're anxious to do the transplant,

but if you don't relax, you're going to drive yourself crazy.

The last thing I need right now is for you to be nice to me.

You want me to scrub your back?

You're killing me, Ellen. You're killing me!

Radiation safe to check you i-131 for contamination.

You may think I'm stupid,

but I'm a little bit nervous being around this stuff.

Everybody feels that way at first. But there's nothing to it.

Besides, the lead shields'll protect you.

Like Superman with kryptonite.

Yeah, but every once in awhile,

don't you get a bit afraid of being around this stuff?

Well, yeah.

But our radiation levels are checked once a month.

See here, last month I looked here, zap, I had 400 millirads.

Is that bad?

It ain't good.

But just remember. Time, distance, shield.

You want to spend the least time with it at the greatest distance from it

with the proper safety shield.

Here's your film badge.

It'll record any radiation you might get.

Wear it here in the lab or whenever you're around a radionuclide,

or around your patient while he's hot.

Let me show you the isotope.

Here.

Hold on to this for a second.

May burn a little, but it won't bite.

Now, be sure to stand back when we give your Mr Hopson his drink.

Why's that?

If he tosses his cookies, they'll be strobing.

UPBEAT 80S MUSIC

And two and one and two. Good.

Higher, Annie, higher.

I hate her.

We all hate her.

If we had out all day to work out, we would look just like her.

Wishful thinking.

BANGING ON DOOR

Hey, this door is locked. Open up!

Sorry, women only.

Hey, that's discrimination!

You got it!

And one, and two. Keep it up. Good.

How did I get talked into this?

Hey! Lucky for me, I got to my key. Oh, what we have here?

Oh, and one, and two, and keep those backs straight, girls.

Keep those tummies in.

Oh, yeah! Woo hoo.

Luther! Get out!

Too much for ya, huh? OK, all right.

OK, girls, real good.

Let's move on to the tummy.

Let's not.

Let's take a break.

My quads are killing me.

All right.

I've paid my dues today, what's the latest gossip?

Did you hear about Dr Robinson's tryst with Amy Speiser?

Who hasn't?

Well, I heard something juicy.

(ALL) What?

Oh, about the bachelor party the boys threw for Vijay last night.

(ALL) What happened?

OK, guys. This here is solid gold gossip.

The big secret that surfaced is...

Vijay's still a virgin.

You're kidding.

I can't believe it.

Come on, Cathy. It's not as though he's got Warren Beatty's black book.

Or body.

I don't know. Maybe I'm sick,

but I don't think it's morally right for a man to take his bride

to their connubial bed

without knowing the fundamentals of sexual mechanics.

The first night of marriage should be filled with incredible bliss,

not fumbling and confusion.

So, meet the same time tomorrow?

Sorry, on-call.

Day off.

I've got to wash everything I own.

Love to, but having lunch with a friend.

Bunch of wimps.

I really need your help, Dr Auschlander.

Dr Westphall doesn't seem to get the point.

What exactly is the point?

Being a part of the Pentagon's contingency plan is going to help us.

Especially because we've got several federal grants pending.

You'd be hard pressed to find

a single doctor or nurse who'd go along with this alliance.

Why is that?

Because it sanctions nuclear war!

As a matter of fact, it may even make it more likely.

You can't really believe that.

All it is is a piece of paper.

This piece of paper, as you call it,

gives people the false sense of security

that they can return to normalcy after a holocaust.

I was in the Pacific theatre

when Truman gave the OK to bomb Hiroshima, August 6th 1945.

Before you were born.

I'm trying to deal with the present,

with getting more federal money and some positive PR.

"I am become death."

"The shatterer of worlds."

J Robert Oppenheimer said that.

The inventor of the atomic bomb.

OK, suppose we having a massive natural disaster.

With this plan, we'd be ready for it.

The joint commission on the accreditation of hospitals

has agreed to cooperate with the Pentagon.

Since we have to fulfill two external disaster tests annually...

As far as I'm concerned, don't count on me to cooperate in this matter.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Unfortunately, Dr Blackwell

from the defence Department is coming tomorrow to get started.

The questionnaires he requested have already gone out to staff.

If I were you, I would try to reach Dr Blackwell

and remove us from the Pentagon's dance card.

You didn't eat your string beans.

You sound just like my mother.

I know they taste terrible,

but it's up to me to check your calorie count.

Does chocolate to make up the difference?

Afraid not.

Want one?

I would love one, but we're not allowed to share

because you're a compromised host.

Compromised host!

Have you know I'm famous for my parties.

Up and at 'em, Eve, time for count the amount.

Oh, I wish you'd showed up before the chocolate.

OK, how's the lip, slugger?

Healing.

All right. Let me get this off and I'll give you a hand.

If you don't like string beans, what do you like to eat?

If I told you that, you'd think I wasn't a lady.

Try me.

Succotash.

I'll see what I can do.

Oh, don't forget your friends.

Come on, you guys.

125 pounds, not bad.

Now, who were those guys?

Dermatologists. Don't worry.

They're safe at that distance.

I'm beginning to think I should charge admission here.

Hello, Mrs Leighton. Where's the urine?

Where do you think?

Where do I think(!)

Thanks a lot.

My pleasure.

Dr Stapleton will be right in to do the skin sensitivity test.

Sensitivity? You guys don't know the meaning of the word.

Look, Mrs Leighton, I know this all seems like a lot of mumbo-jumbo,

but bear with us.

This is our first transplant.

We all want you to come through with flying colours.

I appreciate that.

See you later.

Yeah.

Hi, Janet.

Hi.

Ready for your afternoon workout, Fran?

Good enough.

But Al's not picking me up for another hour.

Wait downstairs.

How's the wedding plans?

I can't believe it's so close.

It'll be over before you know it.

I wish.

Well... bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

What a beautiful girl.

My eyes.

Yes, indeed.

It's good you all decided to go ahead with the wedding.

Can't help.

But you'll be there. That's what's important.

OK, come on.

I want you to sit up and use all the strength you've got. OK?

That's the way.

Come to the end of the bed. Good.

Think you can make it to the wheelchair?

Tired!

No, you're not.

Please.

What's the matter, Fran?

I wish I was dead.

Well, you're not.

Your family needs you.

Not like this.

Oh...

You think because you're in this condition

you're going to be less of a wife or a mother?

Yes.

You're wrong.

Seems to me all your family cares about is having you back,

they love you that much.

No matter how hard you try to push them away.

Come on.

There we go.

Jerry's never going to give you up.

I've been married four times and I still haven't found a man like that.

OK. Let's get to work.

This town is so fickle.

I make one appearance on a lousy news broadcast

and suddenly I'm on everyone's A list.

Cocktail parties, brunches...

Next they'll want me to judge a beauty contest.

No way am I going to Atlantic City this time of the year.

Excuse me, Dr Crane.

What is it, Kochar?

I understand you're in the midst of putting together

your surgical team for the heart transplant.

Good for you, Kochar. You finally understand something.

I was wondering if you have selected an anaesthesiologist yet.

Why?

Well, I'd like you to consider me.

Uh, yeah, Kochar, I'll keep you in mind.

I don't know what Kipling saw in those people.

Hi, Vijay.

Oh, Cathy. You shouldn't be in here.

I know. I was waiting for everyone else to leave.

Why?

I wanted to be alone with you

on the eve of a very special day and night of your life.

Sorry, I don't...

You're getting married in the morning.

Oh, yes. With a little bit of luck.

Well, something's coming up and I won't be able to attend.

Oh, Meena will be so terribly disappointed.

So I wanted to give you and your lovely bride

your wedding present now.

Well, where is it?

Right here.

Sorry, I...

I'm giving myself to you.

I want to instruct you in the art of sexual pleasure.

Go ahead. Unwrap the present.

But Cathy...

Meena and I have agreed only to open wedding presents together.

You're the first naked woman I have seen who wasn't unconscious or dead.

That's right, Vijay.

I'm alive... and willing.

We're doing this for Meena.

Oh.

Don't be frightened.

You Americans have the strangest customs.

Got three cracked ribs and a broken sternum

but I see no problem with them healing in the next few weeks.

Oh, yeah? Then why am I taking this radioactive crap?

When the car fell on you, it activated a thyroid storm,

and for you not to go through that again,

we've got to kill your thyroid.

It's radioactive! What else is it going to do to me?

How do you know it's just going to kill my thyroid

and not eat away the rest of my insides?

Well, it may make you nauseous, but that's no big deal.

Believe me, Mr Hobson, we do this kind of thing every day.

You have absolutely nothing in the world to worry about.

Dr Benzig, here's your man.

Meet Mr Hobson.

Hello. Your cocktail's ready.

Would you like it straight up or on the rocks?

Where are you going?

Huh?

I don't want it.

I don't want it!

Now, Mr Hobson...

I changed my mind.

Would you get that stuff away from me?

Easy there!

Now, you realise this is the only thing that can make you better.

You understand, don't you?

Yeah, I understand.

OK, then just relax.

Listen to me.

Everything's going to be all right.

Give it to me.

It's cold!

Vijay, what are you doing sitting here in the dark?

This used to be the chapel. Very soothing.

I know, that's why they stock the Sav here.

You look just like my brother did the night before his wedding.

But for me there will be no wedding.

What you mean? I rented my sari.

Sorry.

What happened between you two?

I had to tell Meena everything. She cried real tears.

Wait, I'm lost.

You see, this afternoon, the most terrible thing occurred.

Cathy Martin and I... How do you put it...

snorkelled each other.

You mean you and she?

At the locker room.

Ooh, that's wild.

It sure was.

But you can see now why my marrying Meena is inconceivable.

Well, talk to Meena, make her understand.

Her father has barred me from the ashram.

I'm in total disgrace.

That's terrible. How can they do that to you?

The difference between the East and West.

Gee...

A little premarital hanky panky wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

How was she?

You know, Shirley and Jacqui were right, you are a pig.

I just wish there was something I could do for you.

Just turn off the light and leave.

Fiscus, I've got to talk to you.

OK. Let's get another X-ray. What's up?

You smell delicious.

Like Irish stew?

Turn over.

What a great evening.

Irish stew and insults.

I'm sorry about my parents.

They like me. Everyone likes me.

It's because you're taking advantage of their precious Catholic daughter!

You've been married.

Yeah, they never let me forget the divorce. (LAUGHS)

My mother gave me a book on how to regain my virginity.

Written by a doctor.

I don't have any fantasies about corrupting virgins.

I like experienced women. Will you relax?

Your shoulders feel like rock.

The nurses' union is threatening to go on strike.

I couldn't even get in to see the Mayor today

and over at your place I get a double-barrel led blast

from Westphall, then from Auschlander.

I don't know how it happened,

but suddenly I was defending nuclear war.

And I know I have to put my personal feelings aside to do my job well.

I'm prepared to be the bad guy,

but I am more objective than they are.

What do you think?

I think these are the most beautiful feet I've ever seen.

No, about the Pentagon's plan?

I don't want to think about it.

I send a nice fat cheque

to the Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.

Let them duke it out with the joint chiefs.

You're very committed.

Ha, funny talk. So you keep telling me.

I just wonder, am I selling out my own convictions?

I mean, I'm against nuclear war too,

but I don't think that's what this plan is about.

If the bomb drops,

this is how I want to go.

You really put things in perspective, Bobby.

I'm late. Where are my keys?

They'd be there in the morning.

I need my keys, not a sermonette.

Could you help me?

Jack, would you give me a break, please?

OK, now I'm officially late.

Here.

Thanks.

Jack? About this afternoon...

Nina, I'm late. We can talk about this later.

By the time we talk about it, it will be this afternoon.

I told you, it was too soon for you to go back to work.

I'm not talking about that now.

I'm going to leave Pete at the Pomerans',

you've got to pick him up at 4pm.

What if I get stuck?

Jack. Will you help me here, please?

OK, OK, I haven't got time to argue.

Jack?

What?

Aren't you going to kiss us goodbye?

See you later, Pete.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Yep?

Progress report.

Come in.

Well, I've now spoken to the regional transplant center

and the director of emergency medicine at every single hospital

within a hundred mile radius.

They've all been briefed on exactly the kind of heart we need.

Any complications?

Well...

Spit it out, Ehrlich.

The fellow at Bernheim Memorial was testy.

Gerry Burke? Yes.

A weasel of the first order.

The man's held a grudge against the world

since his wife ran off with the coastguard.

Well, I got him to come round.

Anything else?

I looked in on Mrs Layton again. She seems a little tired.

Probably too much activity.

So what do we do now?

Until a heart becomes available, all we can do is wait.

But not here.

Doctor Westphall,

I got this questionnaire from the Defence Department.

Forget it. Throw it in the trash.

Helen, can you dig out the chart

on the third degree burn patient we had last week?

Lancy?

That's it.

Ammunition for your meeting with the Pentagon?

You got it.

You'll never be meet their firepower.

PHONE RINGS

Nurses' station, fourth floor.

Yes, he's right here. Paul Lochner, Porter General.

Yes, Paul, what's up?

Oh, no.

Hi.

Happened to be in the neighbourhood.

I'm just so tired.

That's to be expected.

No, this is different.

I haven't got much time, have I?

Don't be silly.

Come on, Mark, don't kid a kidder.

At this point I'd be a little concerned if I wasn't positive.

The search will be successful.

Doctors, you guys qualify everything.

That's so we can never be wrong.

I have a lecture to give.

I have left orders you're not be disturbed.

So sleep.

Perchance to dream?

KNOCK ON DOOR

Come in.

You wanted to see me, Doctor Westphall?

Yes, Jack, sit down, will you?

If this about my misdiagnosis of Mr Wozniack, I'm sorry.

The lab messed up on the reports.

Jack, I got a call from Paul Lochner,

he's my counterpart over at Porter General.

I'm being traded?

I'm afraid it's bad news. Your wife has had an accident.

An accident?

Nina's dead, Jack.

What?

I can't tell you how sorry I am.

What happened?

Well, I'm not sure of the details.

Paul said she suffered a massive cerebral haemorrhage from a fall.

And where is she?

She's still at Porter General.

I want to see her.

Why don't you let me drive you?

No, you've got things to do.

It's no trouble.

It's OK.

No. I have to see Nina.

I've got to pick up the baby.

Nina said she'd bring him to the Pomerans' because she had to work.

She started back at the newspaper last week, you know?

Jack, sit down for a second.

No, I should get going.

Well, let me drive you.

I'm fine. Really.

I'll need to get someone to cover for me.

I'll take care of it.

And I promised Mrs...

Where's Fran?

Physical therapy.

Right.

Oh, hello, Cathy.

Fiscus told me you're not marrying Mina.

That's correct.

I've soiled the sanctity of her sacred trust.

Vijay, nothing happened.

We only kissed. Once.

Then you fainted.

To sin in the mind and lust in the heart is a sin as any carnal act.

No, no.

The damage is done.

I'll go to Mina, I'll tell her it was my...

It's too late.

She's married.

What?

Yes, to Raju.

You see, our marriage was arranged by our families back in India.

But Raju held a torch for Mina.

I'm so sorry.

That's all right. She was one ugly broad.

This is not the way things were supposed to turn out.

I feel so bad.

Please Cathy, don't trouble your head with this.

Life is as it ought to be.

How metaphysical?

And Cathy, perhaps at some future point

I can return your very thoughtful gift.

Fiscus!

I... I just need... these.

We've had some problems getting this programme of the ground.

People just don't see the necessity of preparing for aftermath

of a major confrontation.

Well, frankly, I don't think we're the right hospital.

I've had that reaction before.

I don't doubt it.

I read your notional patient profile.

You estimate that out of 100 patients,

11 of them will suffer second or third-degree burns.

Now, just one of our third-degree burn patients

used 280 units of fresh frozen plasma,

148 units of packed red blood cells,

36 units of platelets and 35 units serum albumin.

Now, as Miss Halloran will tell you,

we generally have a very low supply of blood in this area

so even if we had the beds ready

we very likely wouldn't have the blood to take care of these people.

I'm sure we could figure out a solution to this.

Hypothetically, of course.

Right now we can barely do the job we are doing with a full staff.

What you're asking me to do is stop everything

and train these people for a hypothetical war,

knowing full well half of them will be called to the front

and the other half will be vaporised.

I was under the impression you supported this plan.

Well I...

You know what really ticks me off?

You're telling me I'll be given 48 hours' notice

to dump 50 patients in the street to make room for your casualties?

Are you telling me, Doctor Westphall,

that you're prepared to turn your back on these people?

Doctor, at St Eligius we're confronted with misery

on a day-to-day basis.

We've seen every kind of tragedy imaginable.

I couldn't come here every day if I thought for one minute

that this horror you people are anticipating was possible.

But it is.

Well, you let paranoia and fear guide your life, Doctor,

I don't have the time. We're withdrawing from this plan.

The problem is that Miss Halloran's signature makes it official.

Well, I'm making it unofficial. Even if we have to go to court.

That's not my department. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Good day, Sir.

Dr Westphall. Miss Halloran.

Look, Dr Westphall...

I have patients to see.

I'm sorry about all this.

Cardiac myxoma is most common in the left atrium,

pedunculated with the stem...

Pedunculated is two Us? Yes.

Thought so.

With the stem going into the inter a trial septum

in the region of the for a men ovale.

Signs?

Wade?

Neck vein distension and or pulmonary hypertension.

Secondary to the atrial ventricular mechanical obstruction,

generalised malaise because of decreased blood flow

to the affected ventricle, systemic or pulmonary embolic phenomena.

Excellent.

(TANNOY) Dr Craig, 4652.

Excuse me.

Brownie!

Dr Craig.

Uh huh?

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen I just received a call from Porter general,

we have a heart.

All right!

Dr Ehrlich, I'd like you to assist me.

Me? I'm assisting you?

Hello...

Stay there, I've got some radium needles going in the safe.

OK.

You re-use those?

Sure. Saved two women with cervical cancer this week.

How do you sterilise them?

We wash them, but you don't sterilise these suckers.

You know, somebody lost a radium needle at a hospital out West.

Got crushed and tracked all over the damn place.

What happened?

They closed it down.

Well, where's the hot waste?

Right over there.

Tell radiation safety they'll find some long half-lap stuff in there.

Be careful. Hold it away from you.

Hi Luther. See you got the fun bucket today.

Yeah, Rooney got scarlet fever.

Where do they put that stuff, anyway?

I don't know but they've got to dump it somewhere.

See you.

OK. Ready to go? Car's downstairs.

Where's Dr Morrison?

I asked. He had to leave the hospital, some kind of emergency.

We can worry about him later. First thing is to get you home.

I'll take her. Let's go.

Would you take care of this for me? Thanks.

Stop!

What do you say we take your coat off?

What do you say we get you ready to eat your dinner?

First this one. That's right.

OK.

Get ready.

You're so cute. So cute.

You must be hungry, huh? You hungry?

Yeah? I'll get your dinner OK?
