Come, my friend.

- Howdy !

- Hi.

See ?

Response time is diminishing.

Yesterday I made

I talked to one man named Dale for

three hours. He told me amazing things.

But what does this all prove,

other than you're out of your mind ?

What's the difference between

a doctor and a scientist ?

And don't say salary.

People. Hmm ? We want to become doctors

because we want to help people.

I want to be

a pediatrician.

Okay, little people.

The point is, we have to treat

the patient as well as the disease.

That's why we have to dive into people,

wade into the sea of humanity, Truman.

Ballroom seven,

right upstairs on your left.

- You guys with

the meat packers convention ?

- Yes, sir !

Right up the stairs.

Ballroom seven.

- Hey ! Does a chicken have lips ?

- You'll find out upstairs !

Like a bulldog

on a pork chop !

[ Chattering, Laughing ]

You know, in New Zealand

they found a whole new use for sheep.

- What's that ?

- Wool !

You're funny !

You kill me ! You kill me !

- I love you !

- Oh, daddy !

And you-- I bet you've heard that too !

Come here ! Ha ha !

- "Herd" it ? That's a goat joke !

- Ohh !

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

[ Man ]

On your meat !

Get set ! Go !

- Ohh ! Yeah !

- [ All Cheering ]

- I won !

- [ Cheering Continues ]

[ Patch ] Pork packers,

rump wrappers, bull shippers,

- [ All Laughing ]

- Lend me your steers !

[ Laughing Continues,

Cheering ]

You know, we packers have been

taking a bad rap for years.

Yeah !

[ Cheering Continues ]

Because we all want to be

the best damn packers there are !

- Yeah !

- Yeah !

- I'm proud of my meat !

- And I know you're proud of your meat !

- Yeah !

- Whip it, zip it and send it out !

- Yeah !

[ Cheering, Hooting ]

You know,

some people say chicken.

- No !

- No !

- Some people say fish.

- No !

I say,

now is the time for cow !

[ Cheering Continues ]

[ Chanting ]

Eat cow ! Eat cow ! Eat cow ! Eat cow !

Eat cow ! Eat cow !

Eat cow ! Eat cow ! Eat cow !

Eat cow ! Eat cow !

Eat cow ! Eat cow ! Eat cow !

- [ Chanting Continues ]

- Hey, bud.

- Hey !

- Oh !

Yes, thanks.

Oh, yeah.

Hey-- Whoa !

What is it ?

What's the difference

between a first-year

and a third-year medical student ?

[ Woman On P.A. ]

Doctor Vukov, please dial line 1242.

Dr. Vukov,

please dial line 1242.

Here we have

a juvenile onset diabetic...

with poor circulation

and diabetic neuropathy.

As you can see,

these are diabetic ulcers...

with lymphedema

and evidence of gangrene.

Questions ?

- Any osteomyelitis ?

- None apparent.

Although not definitive.

- Treatment ?

- To stabilize the blood sugar.

Consider antibiotics,

possibly amputation.

[ Patch ]
