Robodoc Page #3

Synopsis: Plagued by uninsured patients, greedy insurance companies, heartless health care conglomerates, and stressed out doctors, the health care delivery system is on the verge of a total breakdown - and Jake Gorman couldn't be happier. The egomaniacal medical malpractice attorney has it all. His face adorns billboards, his ads run constantly on TV and radio, while his army of informants tip him off to profitable new cases. Suing doctors has made Jake a famous and very wealthy man. Jake never met a doctor he couldn't sue, until now. As a cost cutting measure at its hospitals, R.I.P Healthcare has developed the perfect doctor. MD 63 (a.k.a. Robo-Doc) is a robotic doctor whose data bank contains all the medical knowledge in the world, and therefore Robo-Doc CAN'T make a mistake. Robo-Doc was designed to save both money and lives. Success would bring flawless, affordable health care to all and spell ruin for Jake Gorman.

his forehead, Doctor... um...

Sosumi!

Doctor, I am suing you!

No, no, my name is Dr. Sosumi.

Okay, then, Doctor.

What possible justification

can you have for leaving that horrible scar?

I had to operate to save his life.

To save his life!

What kind of life do you think

my client's going to have now,

now that you've butchered his skull?

My client may look like a monster,

but you, you doctor,

are the monster.

Doctor, did you warn my client,

Mr. Martin,

that he was going to have a horrible scar

before you ruthlessly

and maliciously hacked open his skull?

No, he fall off bar stool.

He was unconscious. He was in coma.

Oh, I see.

Hey! He was unconscious, he was in a coma,

so you figured, what the hell?

I can do whatever I wanted.

What if you wanted to have sex with him?

Did you, doctor? Did you

have sex with Mr. Martin?

- Did you?

- What? You're crazy!

Did you flip him over

and do the horizontal hula?

Order! Order in the court!

No more questions, Your Honor.

The sight of this...

...doctor makes me sick.

Yeah, $2 million dollars for a scar

on a drunk whose life isn't worth a nickel.

Don't worry, you'll get

your usual finders fee.

Hey, I gotta go, I got some business

I gotta chase down.

Thanks, buddy.

You're welcome, Jake. Very welcome.

Thank you for coming, Dr. Mills.

Looks like you've found

another patient for your clinic.

I'm a afraid your son is cross-eyed.

Has Dr. Callaby come down yet?

What are you doing?

Charting vital signs.

And who is taking these vital signs?

The machine over there.

So you're telling this machine

what that machine is doing?

Yeah, that's my job.

Oh, we're the people

whose job it is to take care of the patients.

See, that's what they look like.

They're over there, those living

actual human things over there.

We have too many of those,

not enough nurses,

not enough doctors, not enough time,

and too many computers.

Are you listening to me?

No, because you're talking to a computer.

Let me guess. You're the mime.

I'll take that as a yes.

What seems to be the problem?

Your nose...

...is running.

You have a runny nose.

Anything else?

Your throat...

sounds like...

saw... sore! Your throat is sore.

That's really funny,

a mime with a sore throat.

Here, why don't you have a lozenge,

and I'll write you a prescription.

Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor.

Go ahead.

You know, it's kind of funny,

when I was a kid, I really wanted to be a mime.

I used to do that box thing

for hours, I'd be like...

You know?

What? It's not that bad.

You don't have to be insulting, buddy.

Oh, my God!

Come here.

Oh, excuse me.

- Out of the way!

- Got a live one here!

- Watch out.
