The Doctor's Dilemma Page #3

Synopsis: Mrs. Dubedat loves and idolizes her artist husband, Louis, but he is dying of tuberculosis. She goes to a doctor and convinces him to save her husband. The doctor can keep only so many patients, and must choose who is worth saving, but is convinced that Louis' artistic talents make him worthy. But when he and several colleague meet Louis, they discover that he is in fact a smooth-talking money-grabbing scoundrel. They also learn that he has another wife, whom he has abandoned. So, the doctor has a problem: should he let Louis die, leaving Mrs. Dubedat with her idealized image, or save him and his artistic talents, but force her to face his bigamy and other flaws?

You may not have a nuciform sac.

Can not I just open

you to have a look?

I'm too busy for that.

I recommend pounding a pound every

day for half an hour before lunch.

They are definitely good

and they are cheap.

Be sensible of being against medication.

They are a delusion.

The newspapers are full of

outrageous advertisements.

All quackery and poison.

And we are responsible.

We let them believe in drinks.

They do not get a doctor anymore.

Nature is the only true remedy.

In the white blood cells...

or phagocytes is a system that

eats and destroys bacteria.

There is only one

scientific remedy...

and that is stimulating

phagocytes.

Your car makes the horses of Sir

Ralph scared, so you come quickly.

I have to go.

Pleasant introduction.

- Do you agree with me?

- No.

Only the knife can prevent

rotting and blood poisoning.

He has no intellect,

he is a surgeon.

Operation is manual work.

The brain remains the master.

That nuciform sac does not exist. It

is nice for him to operate in fashion.

Do not worry about your health.

Take a sedative.

And otherwise some

mercury can not hurt.

If you can not sleep: Trional.

- But no medicine, remember.

No, not as a definitive solution.

See you, Blenkinsop.

There is only one solution:

Stimulate the phagocytes.

Who is the patient by the way?

Charming woman with TBC man.

Is it still there?

Your woman is waiting in the carriage.

Tell that woman I will not receive her.

Understood?

She is not in a hurry, she is waiting.

I must go too. Not working every

half hour costs me 18 pence.

Come and have lunch.

That's too expensive.

Then I do not get my own

food away, but thanks.

Poor guy.

We are not all

geniuses like you.

Bloomfield Bonington may

allow fewer people to die.

He needs to know the difference

between a vaccine and an antidote.

With his phagocytes. With him, the

serum is simply a murder weapon.

Colly has to work again.

What are you doing, old cake?

Do not be cheeky.

Behave yourself.

I have taught you to behave.

Come on now.

Bye. Goodbye, thanks for coming.

You are an ugly old witch.

As if you are so beautiful.

What a ways. Do you let

that poor girl come or not?

For the umpteenth time: No.

Send her away.

Do me a favor. Good, boy.

I got half a crown. She says her

husband is threatened with death.

Is not his life worth more than?

She does not have anymore.

She will please you.

It is a charming thing.

Then let it come.

A patient is coming. Come in after

a while with an emergency message.

Then she knows she has to go.

Mrs Dubedat.

Wait. You must know that I

can not do anything for you.

You did not wish to be sent away.
