- Knight?

- Knight.

Hannigan's butt buddy.

But I swear, he starts writing it,

the rest of the docs will follow.

And Windy City, here we come.

- Dr. Knight.

- Hey, I'm very late.

- One thousand dollars.

- Excuse me?

- It's a check for $1,000.

- For what?

For a special Pfizer preceptorship.

For me to shadow you, learn your practice,

and better serve the needs of doctors.

Are you bribing me?

No, Doctor, no.

It's a special Pfizer preceptorship

for me to shadow you.

Is this a joke?

If you think $1,000 is a joke.

That's 33% fewer phone calls at 4:00 a. m...

I'd write a lot more of your scrip

if I were a regularly paid consultant.

Well, you know,

we can talk to them about that.

They spend $5 billion a year

on marketing, right?

Mmm-hmm.

Instead of flying me to Cancn

and making me sit through

some bullshit, nonsense,

peer-to-peer conference,

just give me half that money in cash.

- Yeah, but Cancn...

- Dr. Knight,

- Mrs. Putney's on the phone. Excuse me.

- Sorry.

Her daughter has to sing on Friday.

They're doing Bye Bye Birdie,

and she's playing Kim, and she wondered

if you could call in an antibiotic?

- Sure. Why not?

- Okay, thanks.

Hey.

This can't be right. Janice? Janice?

A 26-year-old needs

Parkinson's medication?

- Beth wrote that one up.

- Hi.

All right, look, if a patient asks,

you're an intern, okay?

Yeah. Can I take notes?

- Sure. Why not?

- All right.

Hey. I'm Dr. Knight.

- Maggie Murdock.

- Hi.

- So your file says, "Kind of an emergency. "

- Yeah.

My apartment was burgled yesterday,

and they took my Parkinson's meds.

But my symptoms are pretty good today,

so it's "kind of an emergency. "

I know your Lilly rep, Trey Hannigan?

He asked Cindy to squeeze me in, so...

Yeah, Trey's a great guy.

Oh. Well, I wouldn't say that.

So, monotherapy?

Yep. Sinemet CR, 50 milligrams,

two times a day,

plus Domperidone to cut the nausea,

Artane for the tremor, two milligrams,

a whole tablet, three times a day.

And Prozac, so that I'm not too bummed

about having

a major degenerative disorder at 26.

Forty milligrams, once, in the morning.

Zoloft has fewer side effects.

I'm sorry, who are you?

Jamie Randall.

Oh.

Hi.

Intern.

So, early-onset Parkinson's.

That's pretty rare.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. First they thought it was

essential tremor, then Wilson's disease,

then Huntington's.

Then, they tested for MAS, PSP, syphilis.

I was very glad for a negative on that one.

I didn't really relish the thought

of feeling like a 19th century slut.

Let's see. Then, there was

brain tumor week, which was very scary.

And then six months

chasing obscure dystonias,

but, no, it just turned out to be
