But l don't think that's immoderate.

How often do you have

routine medical checkups?

Not as often as l should probably,

but l've felt fine, l really have.

-So, the answer is?

-Every three to five years.

What do you do for exercise?

Pace.

-Are you having sexual relations?

-Not at the moment.

-Are you pre or post-menopausal?

-Post.

-When did your periods stop?

-About two years ago.

Okay.

When did you first notice

your present complaint?

-This time, now?

-Yes.

About four months ago, l felt a pain

in my stomach, in my abdomen...

like a cramp, but not the same.

-How did it feel?

-Like a cramp.

-But not the same?

-Duller and stronger, l can't describe it.

-What happened next?

-l don't know...

l started noticing my body, little things.

l would be teaching and feel a sharp pain.

What kind of pain?

Sharp...

and sudden.

Then it would go away,

or, l would be tired....

Exhausted. l was working

on a major project...

the article on John Donne...

for the Oxford Encyclopedia

of English Literature.

lt was a great honor,

but l had a very strict deadline.

-Were you under stress?

-lt wasn't much more stress than usual...

l just couldn't withstand it this time.

So....

l went to see Dr. Chin, my gynecologist,

after l'd turned in the article.

She examined me,

sent me to Jefferson, the internist...

who sent me to Kelekian

because he thought l might have a tumor.

-And that's it.

-Till now.

That's very interesting.

l guess we'll start the exam.

Why don't you just sort of lie back

and relax.

Won't take a minute.

Let me get this sheet.

Here.

Okay.

Yeah, just....

Feet in the stirrups here.

Okay.

Okay.

Could you just.... Yeah.

There. Okay.

Good, okay.

Okay.

l've got to go get Susie.

l've got to have a girl here,

some crazy, clinical rule.

Don't move, l'll be right back.

l wish l had given him an A.

Two times one is two.

Two times two is four.

Two times three is six.

''Death be not proud

''Though some have called thee

mighty and dreadful

''For, thou art not so

''For, those whom thou think'st,

thou dost overthrow

''Die not, poor death

''Nor yet canst thou kill me''

Has anybody seen Susie?

''One short sleep past

''We wake eternally

''And death shall be no more,''

Comma.

''Death thou shalt die''

Okay, here's everything.

-Why did you leave her like this?

-l had to find you, now come on.

We're ready, Prof. Bearing.

Just get this on.

All right.

Just get this up.

Just relax.

Okay.

lsn't that interesting, Susie,

that l had Prof. Bearing?

Yeah. l wish l had taken some literature.

l don't know anything about poetry.

Prof. Bearing was

highly regarded on campus.

Her course looked very good
