THIS IS GON’ BE ONE INCREDIBLE DAY.

JUST HOW’D YOU FIGURE THAT OUT, FROM YOUR HOROSCOPE?

IT’S A SCIENTIFIC PROVEN FACT

THAT AS FAR AS ACCIDENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE CONCERNED,

SOME DAYS ARE JUST WORSE THAN OTHERS.

MAYBE IT’S THE AIR, OR WHATEVER,

BUT THERE ARE DAYS WHEN PEOPLE JUST SEEM

TO FREAK OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE.

WELL, ASSUMING YOU’RE RIGHT,

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT TODAY IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS?

A BUNCH OF THINGS. LIKE WHAT, FOR EXAMPLE?

LIKE THE FACT THAT--

HEY, DAD-- DAD, I’M SORRY.

PULSE IS 120 AND IRREGULAR.

WE’D BETTER GET THE PATCHES ON HIM.

WHAT HAPPENED?

IT WAS MY FAULT.

I SHAMED HIM INTO IT.

DOES YOUR FATHER HAVE A HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE?

NO.

WE WERE JUST JOGGING.

TOO FAST, I GUESS.

HE HAD A PAIN IN HIS CHEST.

DAD...

SORRY.

HERE, WE’RE GONNA PUT THIS ON.

LOOKS LIKE HE’S COMING AROUND.

I’LL GO HAVE A WORD WITH HIS WIFE.

( indistinct announcement over P.A. system )

UH...

MRS. LYTTON, I’M DR. BRACKETT.

HOW IS MY HUSBAND, DOCTOR?

WE’LL KNOW MORE IN A LITTLE WHILE.

WALLY SAID HE’S HAD A HEART ATTACK.

IS THAT RIGHT? IS IT? IS IT HIS HEART?

I’M AFRAID SO.

WILL HE BE ALL RIGHT?

THERE’S EVERY POSSIBILITY OF THAT, MRS. LYTTON.

NOW IF YOU’LL JUST SIT DOWN,

WE’LL HAVE SOME MORE NEWS IN A FEW MINUTES.

WAS IT HIS WEIGHT THAT CAUSED IT,

OR WAS IT THE EXERCISE?

A COMBINATION.

PLUS ME.

AND I’LL BE THE ONE WHO’S KILLED HIM IF HE DIES.

DON’T TALK LIKE THAT. IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, A STUPID ACCIDENT!

MOST ACCIDENTS ARE STUPID, MA’AM.

IF YOUR HUSBAND HAD TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION

HIS AGE AND PHYSICAL CONDITION...

NOW IF YOU’LL EXCUSE ME.

LIKE SOME DAYS I KNOW.

YOU GUYS HAVING ONE OF THOSE, TOO?

WE SURE ARE. DID JOHNNY TELL YOU

ABOUT THE SKYDIVER WE FOUND IN THE TREE?

NO, BUT I GOT A BEAUT.

LADY CAME IN THIS MORNING PREDICTING

SHE WAS ABOUT TO HAVE AN APPENDICITIS ATTACK,

AND DID!

COULD BE THE MOON.

WHATEVER IT IS, I’M HUNGRY. LET’S GO TO LUNCH.

WITH ALL ITS SKILL AND RESOURCES,

MEDICAL SCIENCE IS SURE TO FIGURE IT OUT.

UNH-UNH.

NOW HE’S LOOKING BETTER.

LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS WE GET THE LAB REPORT.

HAVE JOE TAKE A LOOK AT HIM, TOO, HUH, DIX?

Woman: DR. HOFFMAN, 64, PLEASE.

HOW IS HE?

WILL HE BE ALL RIGHT?

I THINK SO.

I THINK SO.

Woman: MRS. PITT, 65, PLEASE.

I THINK HE’S OUT OF IMMEDIATE DANGER.

ALL WE CAN DO IS WAIT.

BETTER MOVE HIM INTO INTENSIVE CARE.

DR. EARLY. THERE’S A LADY OUT HERE

WHO’S THREATENING TO SUE THE COUNTY

IF WE DON’T LET HER GO HOME.

OKAY, I’LL BE RIGHT THERE.

MS. MCCALL, DR. BRACKETT NEEDS YOU IN FOUR RIGHT AWAY.

Woman: OHH! OHH!

( woman crying out )

I’LL GET OUT OF HERE YET!

OH, DON’T! ARE YOU A DOCTOR?

LISTEN, IT’S CERTAINLY TIME SOMEBODY SENT FOR A DOCTOR.

WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME GO?

DOCTOR, THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.

IT’S JUST A SPRAIN!

YES, MA’AM. WHAT SPRAIN?

DON’T "MA’AM" ME. IT’S MY ANKLE.

OF COURSE. LET’S HAVE A LOOK.

THIS IS MRS. BERNADINE SPAULDING.

THIS IS DR. EARLY.

DOCTOR, HAVE YOU GOT THE AUTHORITY TO RELEASE ME,

OR ARE YOU JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THEM STUDENTS?

LET’S HAVE A LOOK FIRST, MA’AM.

THERE YOU GO AGAIN! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT

IF I WAS CALLING YOU "MISTER" ALL THE TIME?

NOW I’M TELLING YOU, DOCTOR,

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.

I SIMPLY FELL AND TWISTED MY ANKLE WHILE-- WHILE--

WHILE...?

WELL...

SHE WAS DANCING.

YES. DANCING.

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY,

AND I GUESS I CAN DANCE IF I WANT TO.

OF COURSE, MRS. SPAULDING. AND CONGRATULATIONS.

ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, I MEAN.

OH, THANK YOU. I’M 80.

NO! YES!

AND I FEEL JUST PERFECT!

LOOK, I CAN STILL DO MY HIGH KICKS!

OH, BUT PLEASE LET ME GO.

I WANT TO GET BACK TO MY PARTY.

CONSIDERABLE SWELLING.

OHH!

OHH!

NOW DOES THIS HURT?

( strained ) NO! IT DOESN’T HURT!

HOW ABOUT WHEN I TURN IT THIS WAY?

NO.

DID DR. BRACKETT GET X-RAYS? NOT YET.

THAT’S WHAT WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO DO, MRS. SPAULDING--

X-RAY YOUR ANKLE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT.

OHH!

IT WON’T HURT A BIT.

IT ISN’T THE HURT, IT’S MY PARTY.

DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I’M THE GUEST OF HONOR?

HOW CAN THEY CELEBRATE

WITH ME IN THIS SMELLY INSTITUTION?

WELL, WHERE’S A TELEPHONE?

WE’LL GET TO A PHONE SOON ENOUGH, DON’T WORRY.

NOTIFY X-RAY.

I’M ALLOWED ONE CALL, YOU KNOW.

YES, MA’AM. WE GO STRICTLY BY THE BOOK HERE.

YOU’D BETTER, DOCTOR, OR I’LL THROW THE BOOK RIGHT AT YOU!

( indistinct announcement over P.A. system )

ARE THEY GONNA GIVE ME A ROOM OF MY OWN?

ARE YOU FREE? THAT DEPENDS.

YOU MIND SOLVING THE PROBLEM I HAVE IN 5?

LEAD ON.

HAS HIS ANNUAL MEETING THIS AFTERNOON.

BIG SPEECH TO DELIVER.

BUT HE CAN’T SAY A WORD.

HE’S BEEN HICCUPPING SINCE YESTERDAY.

HICCUPS?

I THINK WE’RE HAVING THE SAME KIND OF DAY

AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

( hiccups ) OH, SWEETHEART. DARLING.

THIS IS DR. BRACKETT.

MR. MERKL AND HIS WIFE, MRS. MERKL.

HOW DO YOU DO? HOW DO YOU DO?

YOU GOTTA HELP ME, DOC.

YOU GOTTA HELP ME GET RID OF THESE DAMN HICCUPS.

ALL RIGHT, JUST RELAX, MR. MERKL,

AND DON’T TRY TO TALK. LIE BACK, PLEASE.

YES, LIE DOWN, ARTHUR.

AHH!

SORRY.

( hiccupping )

TRY TO BREATHE SLOWLY AND AS DEEPLY AS YOU CAN.

( hiccups )

WHEN DID THEY START?

LAST NIGHT. STOP THEM, PLEASE.

WHAT DID HE HAVE FOR DINNER?

WE HAD DINNER AT MY MOTHER’S HOUSE.

THEY HAVEN’T FOUND A NAME FOR IT YET.

ARTHUR!

PREPARE SOME CHLORPROMAZINE, 25 MILLIGRAMS I.M.

HAVE YOU HAD A RECENT OPERATION?

UH, NO.

A HISTORY OF HEART TROUBLE?

NO.

HOW ABOUT LIVER PROBLEMS?

OHH! SORRY!

OOH! OOH!

( sighs ) WHEW.

( hiccups )

WERE YOU DRINKING LAST NIGHT?

I JUST WISH I HADBEEN!

( hiccups )

WHAT ABOUT PANCREATITIS?

HERNIA?

HAVE YOU HAD AN ULCER? SORRY.

WHAT ABOUT INHALATION THERAPY?

LET’S TRY THIS FIRST.

( hiccupping ) Mrs. Merkl: OHH!

IT’S JUST A SEDATION.

IT’LL HELP HIM TO RELAX.

RELAX? I CAN’T AFFORD TO RELAX.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

DON’T THINK ABOUT THAT.

BUT DON’T LET THEM PUT ME TO SLEEP.

YOU--! ( hiccups )

SLEEP.

( hiccups )

AFRAID THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO DO, MR. MERKL.

GIVE YOUR FRANTIC NERVES TIME TO UNWIND.

SEE, BUT-- BUT-- BUT-- WHAT’LL THEY DO WITHOUT ME?

THEY’RE DEPENDING ON ME! ( hiccups )

WELL, THEY CAN’T USE YOU IN THIS CONDITION, MR. MERKL,

EXCEPT FOR A METRONOME.

YOU JUST TRY AND TAKE IT EASY.

UM, LISTEN, WAS IT REALLY MY MOTHER’S COOKING?

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

( hiccups )

HONESTLY, IT’S OUT OF THE QUESTION.

IT’S ALSO HER 80TH BIRTHDAY!

AND IT’S ABOUT TIME YOU DIVULGED WHERE SHE’S AT!

MRS. SPAULDING’S PERSONAL BIRTHDAY PARTY.

ARE YOU IN COMMAND HERE? MOST OF THE TIME.

I’M NOT SURE ABOUT TODAY, THOUGH.

WE NEED A PRIVATE ROOM.

AND MONEY IS NO OBJECT.

WELL, I’M SORRY, SHE’S STILL IN EMERGENCY.

WE HAVE TO GET AN X-RAY OF HER ANKLE.

WE SHALL WAIT.

YES, GET CRACKING!

YES, MA’AM.

WOULD YOU MIND WAITING IN THE WAITING ROOM, PLEASE?

COME ON.

WE’RE GOING IN THE WAITING ROOM.

YOU KNOW, THAT’S THE BEST THING TO DO.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH TODAY, DO YOU?

UH-HUH. IT’S WHAT WE CALL A SCIENTIFIC ENIGMA.

I GUESS WE ONLY HAVE ONE HOPE--

EVENTUALLY IT’LL BE TOMORROW.

MAYBE IF WE JUST STAYED QUIET,

THE WORLD WON’T KNOW WE’RE HERE.

THE DISPATCHER CAN FIND US ANYWHERE.

MAYBE WE COULD HIDE IN THE HOSPITAL.

NOW, WHY WOULD THE HOSPITAL BE SAFE?

HOW WOULD YOU TWO LIKE TO TAKE A FIRE PREVENTION RUN

AND GO DOWN AND CHECK OUT SOME ELECTRICAL WIRING?

OH, CAP, ON A DAY LIKE TODAY,

WE’D GET ELECTROCUTED.

A LITTLE JOLT MIGHT DO YOU SOME GOOD--

GET YOU BACK ON YOUR FEET, AT LEAST.

CAP, YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE KIND OF DAY WE’RE HAVING.

YOU’RE RIGHT.

AND WE’VE GOT OVER 17 HOURS LEFT TO GO.

GAGE, YOU JUST NATURALLY EXAGGERATE EVERYTHING.

TODAY IS NO WORSE THAN ANY OTHER DAY.

MY HUSBAND! OH!

Policeman: BRAKES MUST HAVE FAILED.

WIFE SAYS HE’S A ROTTEN DRIVER.

SHE REFUSES TO RIDE WITH HIM.

WELL, MAYBE SHE’S GOT A POINT.

IS THERE ANY WAY DOWN THERE?

FIREBREAK, BUT IT’LL TAKE YOU

HALF AN HOUR TO GET TO IT.

I HAVE AN AMBULANCE ON THE WAY.

John: IT CAN’T WAIT. I’M GOING DOWN.

Roy: I’LL ANCHOR YOU.

Woman: OH, HURRY!

JOHNNY, YOU NEED A SPANNER?

THANKS.

Dispatcher: SQUAD 3, WHAT IS YOUR STATUS?

BETTER WATCH OUT.

I’LL GET THE HEAVY STUFF.

HEY, EASY!

WILL YOU TAKE IT EASY?

JOHNNY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH!

WILL YOU JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE AND DON’T TRY TO MOVE?

I DON’T THINK I CAN.

WE’RE GONNA NEED A STOKES STRETCHER DOWN THERE, MAYBE TWO.

RIGHT.

BREAK OUT THE ROPE. WE’LL NEED A STOKES.

WHERE YOU HURT?

KNEE. I TWISTED IT-- I HOPE.

ARE YOU OKAY? DO YOU FEEL ANY PAIN?

I DON’T FEEL NOTHIN’. I FEEL GOOD.
