Young Doctors In Love Page #4

This patient has pituitary thrombosis.

Well, let me see that.

Tastes like plain old piss to me, Doctor.

With a slight metallic flavor,

indicating a high level of zinc.

Doctor, here, you try.

No, wait. Just a minute.

I didn't really taste the urine.

I was just kidding.

You what?

I did the same thing he did.

I switched fingers. I thought it was obvious.

Can I have a word with you, Doctor?

You might have made a fool

out of some of my colleagues...

but you'll have to get up early

to put one over...

on Dr. Oliver Wendell Ludwig.

Now you look at this face, what do you see?

I see alcohol poisoning...

and prosiasis in the tertiary stage.

Get out.

- Out! All of you!

- I think we've been dismissed.

Get out, every one of you.

- What did I say?

- Come on.

Where's the little guy?

What are you doing tonight, Simon?

I thought I might learn some of this stuff.

Drop out? You okay, man?

Who is in charge of pills and drugs

here at this hospital?

Nurse Sprockett.

Do you think she can get me

some speed or some uppers?

I guess she might, if she likes you enough.

She likes me?

You won't believe the note

that she gave me. Read that.

You know, some of these words have never

been said in the State of Wisconsin.

She's an animal.

Hi, remember me?

I'm the doctor you saw

when you were first admitted.

I'm sorry. Walter Rist.

Anyway...

Yes, I know, and I'm sorry.

But it was the only bed available.

And I knew you'd prefer it

to the Mental Ward.

Okay, I'm gonna give it to you straight.

You're paralyzed with fear.

But then again,

maybe you already knew that.

You're safe here. Nobody can harm you.

I promise you that.

In them old cotton fields back home

Well, it was down in Louisiana

just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

Where do you want me to lick you first?

When them cotton balls get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

- I'm glad you asked me out, Stephanie.

- You fascinate me, Simon.

I've never been out

with such an insensitive genius.

Thank you. Now, tell me

all about Burnaby Mountain.

It's where I live. It's in Vermont.

My father was the only doctor.

He used to work 24 hours...

and half the time

people couldn't even pay him.

They used to give him chickens

and stuff like that.

Anyway...

when he died, everybody knew

that he wanted me to be a doctor.

So they took up a collection

to send me to medical school...

to return to Burnaby Mountain...

to take up where my dad left off.

They're all praying for me, Simon,

the whole town.

They paid him with chickens?

Why would anyone

practice in a silly place like that?

Stephanie? What did I say?

Stephanie.

Stephanie, what is it?
