The Men Page #2

- Good! How did that happen?

- We just stood around him and prayed.

Well, that's nice, but

let's keep working on it.

The patient's balance

of bladder function is now good.

He may proceed with all

routine activity, including gym.

- How's the family?

- Fine.

- The little one's starting to talk.

- Time sure flies.

You said it.

How are you today,

Mr. Mullin?

- I'm still here.

- Oh, I see.

Well, let's take

a look at that closure.

This looks good.

I'm proud of you.

- Did you hear that?

- I heard it.

What are you reading there?

"Nature Girl Meets the Monster."

Oh, please!

Is that all you can find to do?

Read those junky comic books?

Do I tell you what to read?

Closure of the sacral decubitus

ulcer has been successful.

Patient may proceed

with routine mild activity.

Hopkins, what are you

doing here?

You aren't due back

for two weeks.

- I know.

- Well, what's wrong? What happened?

Nothing. I went home

and I came back.

But you didn't use up your month.

Come on. What's the score?

Oh, my mother. She means well.

They all do.

But they keep telling me I'll walk

again if I want to bad enough.

Didn't you explain it to them?

Sure. So they sit around

looking at me...

like I'm a freak on wheels.

At night I can hear

my old lady crying.

Gee, I gotta live too.

Look, it took you three years

to get where you are.

Can't you give them three weeks?

Will you try it again

in a month or two?

If you say so, Doc.

Yep.

Good morning, Mr. Fine.

You look just fine today.

All right.

So it's not funny.

I'm no Jack Benny.

I'm just a plumber.

- How's your bladder?

- Oh, about 10 and one.

Swell.

Still got that pain

in the mid-thoracic region.

- Where?

- In the mid-thoracic region.

He should be a doctor.

The patient's bladder is now

automatic and well-balanced.

A Taylor brace will correct

his back difficulties,

but it's suggested

that he go to the gym..

More frequently and regularly.

Have you decided what you're

gonna do when you leave?

Sure.

Sell shoelaces.

Fine, Mr. Fine.

Another Leo Doogan.

That's all we need.

I heard that, Dr. Brock!

Hey, Norm, remember

"Blood and Guts" Patton?

- "Bladder and Bowels" Brock.

- Yeah, the Bashful Butcher.

- You're going back to school.

- Why?

I got a picture of myself addressing

a jury from my kiddie car.

Why not? Don't be a fool.

You might win a lot of cases.

Education department.

Let's get on the ball here.

- Yes, sir.

- "Yes, sir. Yes, sir."

Good day, Dr. Fine.

You look terrible.

Same to you.

Mr. Baker, I see,

is out to lunch.

He was out late last night

celebrating his birthday.

- Where's Hamilton?

- Took off just before rounds.

Really?
