The Doctor's Dilemma Page #2

Synopsis: Mrs. Dubedat loves and idolizes her artist husband, Louis, but he is dying of tuberculosis. She goes to a doctor and convinces him to save her husband. The doctor can keep only so many patients, and must choose who is worth saving, but is convinced that Louis' artistic talents make him worthy. But when he and several colleague meet Louis, they discover that he is in fact a smooth-talking money-grabbing scoundrel. They also learn that he has another wife, whom he has abandoned. So, the doctor has a problem: should he let Louis die, leaving Mrs. Dubedat with her idealized image, or save him and his artistic talents, but force her to face his bigamy and other flaws?

out the sponges.

I closed her up.

One of the nurses...

Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington.

Where is he?

He is talking to that woman.

- I have said...

- He is he.

Sir Colenso, welcome

to the knights.

Are you there too, sir Patrick?

How are you?

A cold, a bit stiff?

But still scratch and smart.

Walpole, the absent beggar.

What do you mean?

Did you forget the opera singer?

She had a lump on her vocal cords.

Was it for a throat operation?

The nuciform sac went out.

Force of habit. Does not matter,

she got her voice back.

She finds you the very

best surgeon, and you are.

Blood poisoning.

How is a certain high

family under your wing?

I have successfully tried Ridgeons

opsonin with Prince Henry.

I suspected blood poisoning.

At St Anne's I ordered your exclusive

serum. It was unfortunately on.

Did they have a statement?

I did not need that.

My wife was waiting, I did

not have time for that.

I know everything about antidote...

That's not it.

It can be very dangerous.

Yes, you have to use it properly.

An apple is not always good.

Antidote only knows two rules.

Do not be afraid and inject them

three times a day before eating.

- Oh no.

- Really.

It was a great success

with little Henry.

The gratitude of the

family moved me.

I gave you all the credit,

hence your order of knights.

I am very grateful to you.

I am Dr. Blenkinsop.

Come inside.

That's why I take over

your scientific method.

Can Dr. Blenkinsop come in?

But of course.

I come to offer my congratulations.

How are you dude?

I see all the big names.

What is it, Blenkinsop?

Sir Patrick is there too.

Do you already know Walpole?

No, we are now making the acquaintance.

I do not meet big men. I know

only Stevens from St Anne.

Now you are sir Colenso.

How does that feel?

First a little crazy.

Do not mind.

I do not know what you have discovered,

but I congratulate you anyway.

You were so scientifically oriented.

Earlier, yes. Now look at it.

I have not looked at a book since my

graduation. They are so expensive.

But I have clinical experience, that's

what it's all about, is not it?

Nonsense. Then you see the outside,

there is nothing wrong with that.

You have to look at the inside every day.

That is only possible with the knife.

You have easy talk,

look at my practice.

I only see workers,

clerks and servants.

They can not afford illness.

I am so poor myself that I

get sick from the bad food.

How do I gain self-confidence?

I can not hear it.

There is nothing more

tragic than a sick doctor.

As if a bald head sells wigs.

Fortunately I am a surgeon.

I have never been ill, that is

why I live with my patients.

Never get sick? Interesting.
