of your surgery.
I'm not a thoracic surgeon. He can--
He'll be here in a moment.
I'll see you shortly.
It's corruption.
I met a guy who's paid 2 grand
as a recruiter.
Paying folks 200 bucks to come in...
- ...and have an unnecessary surgery.
- I saw this.
- I saw this online.
- What's with you and surgery?
the insurance companies 10, 20 grand...
...to cut on immigrants.
Cubans, Guatemalans...
...Mexicans, Vietnamese.
What, a cosmetic surgery?
Unnecessary nose jobs,
endoscopic bullshit, circumcisions.
- But for 200 bucks?
- Colonoscopies. Get this.
Sympathectomies.
You know what that is?
Yeah, sympathectomies.
That's a cure
for bleeding-heart liberals.
- It is. Look it up.
- Funny.
A thoracoscopic sympathectomy.
They go in right here,
make a small incision...
...put in an endoscope,
collapse a lung...
...and snip a nerve
somewhere near your spine.
It's a cure for sweaty palms.
George?
Call Ira.
- George, I--
- Call Ira.
They gave me one of those f***ing...
...surgeries.
They gave me one of those
unnecessary surgeries, didn't they?
F***. F*** this.
F***ing nightmare.
It's a nightmare.
And this f***ing place. F***.
Jesus, they f***ed me up with this--
Sweaty palms.
Jesus Christ.
F***.
We have to establish the time line.
The chain of events
that led to all of this.
I'm so sorry.
I think--
Well, I know
it wasn't Ben Sharazi's fault.
The human errors, the malpractice,
it's the system.
The whole system, the whole
f***ing hospital, not just Ben--
Ben f***ing Sharazi. Ben Sharazi.
Wait, Ben-- You're on a
first-name basis with this guy now?
Mr. Grieves, I'm Dr. Lichterhand.
I performed your sympathectomy.
My--? No.
It's not me. And it's not my
sympathectomy, okay? It's not mine.
I understand there's been some confusion
and that you're agitated.
I'm-- You don't understand.
I'm not "Grieves," okay?
Grieves, I'm George Grieves.
Mr. Grieves, have you been experiencing
any symptoms?
Yeah, some. My sweating.
My back sweating
and my leg is itching.
This could be complication
known as compensatory hyperhidrosis...
...the body redirecting perspiration...
...from your hands, underarms and feet
to your back.
- May I?
- Hey, get away from me.
- Get away from me.
- George.
What? Back the f*** off from me.
You don't touch me. You don't f***ing
touch me until my attorney's present.
George, I called Ira, I left him messages.
He was on another call.
- What? What?
- Ira, George.
- Who?
- Ira.
- He's on the phone.
- I told his office it was an emergency.
Dinner's ready. Yeah, she's--
She's on the...
She's on the phone.
Are you kidding?
