I heard you talking

and I Wanted to tell you

my sister suffered a similar stroke...

- That's it, right?

- Yeah...

You should move her someplace safer...

to Bucharest...

Oh, I'll move her to Cluj, for sure!

Or to Bucharest... I'll see...

Well, of course! I heard

a lot of things about hospitals...

I have a friend.

She fell ill recently...

Poor thing,

she had ah awful migraine!

She Went to the hospital.

They sent her to the eye doctor

when, in fact, she had had a stroke

and it was too late...

Yeah...

Hi Susu...

Yeah, I asked

but I didn't understand it very Well

and I didn't dwell upon it, either...

Anyway, he said something

about a transitory ischemic...

What does it mean?

I see...

Really?!

Okay...

And transitory'?

How am I not to think about it?!

Transitory ischemic sounds like sh*t...

Transitory towards What?

Okay thanks a lot, and sorry for...

Okay I'll call you later. Bye!

Well yeah...

Transitory sounds bad

but, apparently, it comes from

transition towards good...

The first 24 hours are critical, ma'am.

Only if she's not being taken care of...

'Cause if she is...

They didn't say anything about this.

They're critical anyway

So, until morning,

it can be very bad...

Listen to this...

A coworker of mine, poor thing...

His father, a man in his 80s

had some sort of cancer...

And he bought him vitamins...

the good, expensive ones...

He thought

it would help his body...

But Within a month,

his father was dead...

The doctors told him

that it was a bad idea,

'cause those vitamins sped up

the cancer process...

Without them,

he could've lived another 10 years!

You can imagine

how the poor man must be feeling...

He only Wanted to do something good...

Do you know

what's great for this disease?

Let me tell you the secret...

Propolis and Water...

- Sorry I cut in...

- Don't Worry!

But I'd rather you didn't,

'cause it doesn't help me.

Hi! Listen, I talked to Susu

and he says that it's okay for now.

He says we should move her to Nuti,

'cause she's the neurologist.

No, Crisan is a neurosurgeon.

No, I don't know

what the difference is...

What do you mean she's crying?!

Because I'm coming home?!

And why wouldn't she talk?!

How not to worry, Delia?!

If there are aftereffects,

she might not even recognize me

or we might never speak

to each other as We did before...

Okay... Got it... Okay...

Bye...

Stop being so pessimistic, Sir,

'cause it doesn't help, anyway...

It will be alright!

You must say it

over and over again:

It will be alright!

'Cause it will, damn it!

Dad!

Hi...

- You've turned kinda gray...

- Is this all the luggage you have?

I have some clothes at home...
