Then deliver them

to the infirmary.

Maria,

it's a great day.

Madera, Madera...

The doctor

is free now.

Hello.

Who are you?

What do you want?

I'm a first-Year

student, sir

And it's about my anatomy exam.

Um, Sandoval...

I sat in the wrong seat

during attendance,

And he marked me absent

by mistake.

And, as you can see

for yourself,

Here's my test.

If you just look at it.

There's my name, the date,

the grade, a 96.

And dr. Cervantes will

verify that I was there

And I took the exam.

Dr. Cervantes?

Si. I remember him.

Thank you, sir.

The record stands.

The grade remains an absent.

Sir, I fail to see

the logic here.

Dr. Cervantes just...

Well, in any event,

Cervantes...

Cervantes has nothing

to do with attendance.

Yeah, I know, but it's

obvious I took the test...

You want Cervantes

to take the attendance

And Sandoval

to teach the class?

No, of course not.

Then everything

is in order. Dismissed.

Sir! If you just

take a look.

You see my name,

the date, the grade...

What is wrong with you?

Why do you behave like this?

Here I give you

an opportunity to study

In one of the world's

great medical schools,

Soon to become famous,

and you act like a child!

A doctor must be a man!

Yes, I could have

taken you at your word

And accepted

your examination,

But that would be

the easy way out.

From my years of experience

in medical school

I can tell you that

adversity builds character.

Soon, you will

thank me for this.

I am waiting.

Thank you?

You're welcome.

Dismissed.

Pueblo day!

A great day in this

particular institution.

A proud day

at Madera university.

For today, we send out

administering angels

To give medical attention

To poor peasants

in the countryside,

People who cannot

afford to come to us.

So what do we do?

We send you out to them

So that you can administer

this attention to them

In their own environment.

Yes, you,

The first doctors

in their lives.

Does UCLA do a thing

like this?

No.

Does John Hopkins

do a thing like this?

No.

But in the great

Madera university tradition

Of providing

the best medical training

For its students,

In my personal commitment

To improving

the quality of life

For all people,

Together we strive

to relieve the pain

And suffering

of a diseased world.

Go in peace, my students,

and may god bless you.

You are now entering

san Agustin,

Your pueblo assignment.

You will be graded.

So, please conduct

yourselves in the ways

Of everyday school.

In charge today

are myself and dr. Diaz.

Are there any questions?

Yeah.

Marrex.

Uh...

are we doctors?

That's a good question,

Marrex.

Any other questions?
