Hey, can you help me?
I need a doctor.
No, my friend,
you need a lawyer.
Call me.
Hey!
Good morning, boys.
Looks like you lost your patient again.
Do I have to separate you two?
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop it!
Wait your turn.
Don't you know everybody
is in here is waiting?
Go take a seat.
Take a seat over there.
Do you have an insurance card?
No.
Take a seat over there,
and fill out these forms.
Where?
Over there.
Sir.
Your eyeball.
Next.
Hey, that's you buddy.
Guess that's me.
I've got this incredibly painful paper cut.
Do you have an insurance card?
Yes, I do.
Code Green! Code Green!
Oh, my goodness!
Nice booty!
Thank you.
Thank you!
Great, on top of everything else,
the circus is in town.
Hey!
Do I have to see all these patients by myself?
Where are my doctors?
They're at a meeting
on electronic charting, Dr. Roskin.
Didn't you get the memo?
No, there's nothing in my box.
I sent it to you by email.
Email, yes, damn computers.
Look, find the technology
to page Dr. Callaby. I need help down here.
Dr. Callaby, to the E.R., stat.
Dr. Callaby, to the E.R., stat.
Dr. Callaby, to the E.R., stat.
Dr. Callaby, to the E.R., stat.
Oh, too bad, so sad.
Just started this round,
got 17 holes to go.
Hey, how nice of you all to join me.
Dr. Murphy, you take the clown in room 5.
Dr. Keefe, you take the headache in room 7.
He's got a headache?
No, he is a headache.
Bonacasa, the mime in
room 9 is all yours.
- What's wrong with the mime?
- Didn't say.
Go, go, go!
Nurse Nancy, if you'd be good enough
to pry yourself away from that screen.
You should be paging
Dr. Ramalama to the E.R.,
and I want Dr. Mills down here
for the F.L.K. In room 6.
Can't pay your electric bill?
Sue your doctor.
I'm Jake Gorman,
Attorney at Law, and I care for you.
Rat bastard.
Mr. Jenkins? What seems to be
the problem today?
Now, wait a minute.
I don't want some snot-nosed punk
who's not even able to shave yet
telling me he's my doctor.
I want a real doctor.
I am a real doctor, okay?
And I assure you I am most qualified...
No, no problem.
You're damned right there's a problem.
I've been waiting for two hours
to be seen be a real doctor.
One with hair on his pee-pee.
I know my rights.
I'm going to call my lawyer.
I'm Dr. Roskin, Chief of Staff.
I've been running this E.R.
For some 25 years now.
On the pee-pee hair front,
thatch of botanical splendor,
much of it a well-earned gray.
May I see the chart, please?
I see that you've never been vaccinated
against tetanus, rabies, distemper,
Dengue fever, malaria,
rockin' pneumonia or the boogie-woogie flu.
No, that's okay, doc.
I don't need those shots.
Well, medically I'm sure you're right,
but the lawyer you said you would be calling
would call me negligent
if I didn't give them to you,
so, Nurse Helga, please,
if you would assist the young Doctor Keefe.
- Thank you.
- Yes, doctor.
- Dr. Murphy?
- Yeah.
There's a patient here who insists
on being seen by you.
Okay, thanks.
Oh!
Thank you very much.
Dr. Murphy?
- Yes?
- Damn glad to meet you.
Oh! This is from Jake Gorman's office.
You've been served.
Have a nice day, doc.
Damn. That's the third malpractice suit
today, you punk!
I don't think that hip is broken at all.
Let's try standing. There.
Yes, good, okay.
- We'll walk a little...
- I quit!
Dr. Murphy.
I try to help these upstanding citizens,
how do they repay me?
By suing me every chance they get.
I'm finished!
Now Bradley, please, don't leave me now.
I'm begging you.
I've got wall-to-wall patients here.
They're going to have to get better
on their own, Richard.
I'm finished. I'm done.
Finito. Gone. Hasta la bye-bye.
Game over.
See this?
Now if you'll excuse me,
I have a clown to kill.
That's it! I need an administrator!
Get Buttkiss down here now!
Mr. Abrams, I'm Gene Buttkiss.
I'm the Chief Administrator
here at North Mercy.
Your health is very important
to you, isn't it, sir?
It sure is.
And what would you say it would be worth
for my staff to nurse you back to health?
Well, you can't put a price on health.
- Try.
- A million dollars.
Oh, a million dollars! I like that!
And how much are you
actually going to pay us?
Well, I have no money.
I have no insurance.
Oh! No money? Oh, I see.
So, for a million dollars' worth of service,
you're going to pay us the grand total of,
I don't know, for argument's sake
let's just use a ball park figure of nothing!
Zip! Nada! Goose egg!
You are outta here!
I don't know about you, but I feel better.
- Buttkiss!
- Oh, Dr. Roskin. What can I do for you?
Murphy quit. I need more doctors.
More doctors, right, sure,
I'll just pull a few more out of my uh... ear.
I mean it, I don't care where they come
from, I need more docs.
Alright Richard, I'll call corporate headquarters.
But until then,
I've got some medical advice for you.
Don't hold your breath.
Thanks for calling RIP,
sorry for keeping you on hold for so long.
How can I help you?
Hello?
Hello?
Make it quick.
Uh, yeah. Sorry to bother you sir,
Bothering me is your job,
Buttkiss, and you do it very well.
I see.
Well, you tell Dr. Roskin
that he'll have his new doctor.
- First thing tomorrow morning.
- Thank you, sir.
I was, um, right, okay, good.
Thank you.
Board members, shareholders,
