Medicine Man Page #2

Looks like an acid derivative.

Although those side...

You must have thought

you were onto something.

- I'm sorry.

- Can it be synthesized?

This one's mother nature's kitchen.

End of story.

Why?

- What is it you think you've got?

- I don't think.

- I know.

- Share it.

What's the problem?

Even as a child, I didn't like to share.

It was deep-seated, I suppose.

What is it, a secret?

I'll cross my heart and spit on the floor.

You said breakfast and a bath.

You saving it for Sealove?

Don't, he's not coming.

Then I'll settle for Robinson.

You were lucky you got me

and last year's chromatograph.

I give up.

I believe our deal was

bath, breakfast, and boat.

I didn't come here to make deals.

Then why did you come here?

I'll leave the chromatograph

for the time being.

I'm asking you a question.

You have no idea, have you?

Aston's considering pulling your funds

and shipping you out.

I'm your judge and jury.

- Winslow would never permit that.

- Winslow!

Winslow retired last year.

If you hadn't cut off incoming,

you would have known that.

- Who replaced him?

- Me.

You don't send progress reports.

You move your damn station

wherever and whenever you like.

You don't send in a record of expenses!

And you don't respond

to requests for information.

So here I am!

- Put this on. I want to show you something.

- I've seen it.

Put in on!

Please.

Follow me.

This is Kalana...

wife of Jahausa, mother of Imana.

Palpate her throat.

I'm not a medic.

Good God, woman, must everything

be a full-scale debate with you? Just do it.

Feel anything?

Nothing.

Six months ago, she came to see me.

Couple of lumps on her throat.

I sent her down river with

a Franciscan missionary to the hospital.

Then she made her own way back.

It took her a month.

And the nodes were almost double the size.

Two injections of that sample

you just tested...

and the lumps disappeared within a week.

No boosters, no side effects.

That's just swell.

What am I supposed to report

to the Foundation?

Dr. Campbell showed me a cured patient...

who claims a history of undiagnosed,

undocumented lumps in her throat?

- You're untiring.

- Here it is.

- You're untiring.

- Here it is.

Her scan report.

She brought it back from Manikovi.

That's delightful.

I'll bring it with me. If you'll contact...

Stage 2, anterior and posterior lymphomas.

Here. Check her biopsy report.

What for? It could be anybody's.

- Okay.

- You think I'm lying?

You're a man

who's allowed his personal problems...

to get in the way of his clinical judgment.

That's what I think.

Stay here.

Stay here.

He talks to me like a dog.

500,000 scientists in this world...
