difficult for me to get along without

you trying to make it impossible you

have made impossible yet there's so much

work to do and so little time to do it

thank you

well you know doctor when I finished

medical school I only knew that I wanted

to do something in medicine and I met

you and everything was crystallized now

I have what I wanted the privilege of

working for you and learning it

firsthand when only you can teach me and

carrying my work on after I'm gone I

mr. Finch you've been drinking again it

seems to me I remember promise you made

me a couple of months ago doctor I tried

to stop but I can't do it it's not my

fault my father was the same way you

understand don't you say no I don't

you're a fool and there are a million

other fools like here they wanted a

drink so they believed a legend started

by a bigger fool that you can inherit

drunkenness well that's a lot of baloney

you can inherit a tendency toward

diabetes or red hair but if you drink

it's your own fault and you can't blame

your poor ancestors but I always heard

yeah and you were glad to hear it

because it gave you an excuse for

sticking a bottle in your silly face now

go on and get out of here and don't come

back until you stop kidding yourself

yes next patient no bring in mr. Mason.

Yes Doctor

mr. Messenger don't mean mr. Messenger

come in come in hey sit down mr.

Messenger sit down this is dr. Kildare

my assistant how'd you do it beautiful

there I'll still a lot of people ahead

of me doctor ah there's not one of them

I can charge as much as I'm going to

charge you max fair enough if you can

help me well you look well enough but I

can find something wrong with you

worst comes to the worst we can

always take out your appendix what can

we do for you mr. messenger well I came

here to ask your advice about my

daughter Nancy oh that's easy enough

just bring her in we'll have a look at

her I've tried to worked for six months

to see a doctor

not only two kinds of people don't want

to see doctors those that know their

well and those that know their not

something's happened to her it doesn't

seem to be physical and yet it must be

because you can't possibly have a care

in the world what you mean is that in a

thousand and one baffling little ways

your daughter's changed that's it that's

exactly the situation just what kind of

changes mr. Messinger well she always

was fond of dancing but now she wants to

go out all night every night oh it

doesn't mean a thing they call him

jitter birds jitterbug he's dr.

Gillespie she's engaged to a splendid

young man who adores her and all of a

sudden she started to dream abominably

what perhaps it isn't important but when

she sleeps she keeps the lights burning

ah that's bad but there's not a thing in

the world a doctor can do for your

daughter if she won't see him mr.

Messinger you were just about my last

hope I'm going to let you have dr.

Kildare Jimmy tonight you disguise

yourself as a potted palm or something

and find out what's the matter with Miss.

Messinger if it takes all night

it takes a dozen witness or a hundred

excuse me the expense is important oh

but a thousand lives a month are

important tomorrow dr. Kildare and I are

starting out on a long-planned

experiment this is sofa Pyrrha Dean

before it was discovered the death rate

of pneumonia was 25 percent so for.

Pyrrha Dean's brought it down to seven

my wife's bamboo is 25% well tomorrow

dr. Kildare and I are going to start

trying to find out why those seven

- percent still that I understand I sent - my topper late o'clock goodbye goodbye.

Sir

thank you both hmm.

Kildare oh sorry sorry

thinking you were thinking now tonight I

can't go out gallivanting with that

pretty nurse Mary Lamont gallivanting

on my salary I read in the paper the

other day this doctor in Europe who

claims love is a disease and that he can

vaccinate you against it interns on $20

not off well that's what he thought but

dr. Glasgow changed his mind for him

look look if you've got to work tonight

why can't I take out Mary Lamont well I

don't know why but I'll bet you can

think of a reason Blair General Hospital

no mister I can't tell you that I'm just

the telephone operator here of course I

work in a hospital but I don't

understand medicine my brother's been

managing a chicken farm for ten years

but he still can't lay an egg have you

first prize and a mind your own business

little ride sugar listen you have fake

street corner Romeo what I am it is time

didn't recognize you I thought I saw a

pretty girl I was trying to grab her oh

hospital take out a dumpling yeah step

in and find out different just a minute

young man

what do you think you're trying to get

away with picking up girls on my beat oh

I wasn't picking up any go tell me I

heard every word you said can I ever

meet my boyfriend without you sticking

your nose in besides how do we know

you're an officer well because uh I'll

fight it out among yourself

get inside before anything else happened

well I suppose the car out of slay me

but I bet it belongs to one of.

Gillespie's rich patients I de Barros

yard only it wasn't raining oh I'm

awfully sorry I have to work tonight

Mary

that's all right Jimmy I guess there's

nothing we can do about it yeah yes you

know there isn't I'm sick of being a

nurse the next time I'm born I want to

be a pretty thing with an empty head and

a cash register for a heart you can

always quit the hospital can't you

why don't I I don't know I guess because

you're crazy enough to want to be a

nurse you're a little crazy yourself you

know I know it isn't ethical to ask a

doctor about these patients but where

are you going well it isn't ethical but

I can tell you this it's fifty three

blocks to the home of the gent that owns

this car here we are

sure that's fifty three blocks I've ever

seen Hey hmm well in case you're not

impressed they tell me that Paul.

Messenger is the seventh richest man in

America Jimmy and he's your patient

no not mr. Messinger his daughter his

daughter uh the one that's in the

newspapers all the time the glamour girl

I guess so what's the matter with it

that's why I'm trying to find out good

night Mary I'll wait oh I don't know how

long I'll be what my evenings ruined

anyway I might as well wait what that

- might take hours you weren't going to - operate on the girl are you he doesn't.

Even know I'm a doctor

say what is this what I think as a

matter of fact dr. Gillespie said to

find out what was wrong with her if it

took all night all night yes well it's

all right because her father knows I'm

going to work on oh my father knows yes

you see she's been acting peculiarly of

late and mr. Messinger doesn't care what

lengths we go to as long as we fix her

up well I've had a lot about how

debutantes carry on but I've never heard

of one having her father's permission

now stop kidding me you must be

prejudiced against miss messenger that's

because she's rich

you mustn't be prejudiced just because

- she's young and beautiful Blair General - Hospital please.

And although Nancy has been conducting

herself on the whole as I outlined to

you in dr. Gillespie to my amazement at

dinner tonight

she was our own normal sweet self

panting yeah come in dad you're just in

time to tell me how oh this is mr.

Kildare that son of an old friend of

mine how do you do miss Messinger hello

mr. Kildare the corner party remember oh

but don't look at my costume now wait

till I get the headdress on you to go

downstairs and I'll make a grand

entrance

all right here you're the loveliest

thing I've ever seen just like your

mother yesterday she said she wouldn't

go to be stupid Casa de Spartan under

any circumstances it's waiting sing

don't shoot mr. Messenger it's me

Charlie is there any doubt in your mind

about my loving your daughter remember I

put this outfit on because she wanted me

to well once the love I went out as a

back half of a horse till there was the

hair of my daughter's fiance dr. Kildare

how do you do bye Nancy excuse me hello

Nancy you have to excuse me Charlie I'm

not going to the party you're not going

no no I don't want to go if I don't want

to go I don't have to go so I'm not

going getting a little tired of this

merry-go-round Nancy good night

he doesn't see more than six months ago

that you told me your entire life was

wrapped up in that boy I do love him you

see now what I don't know now I suppose

the lights be blazing all night in her

room and I'll be facing this floor

wondering how I can help

mr. Kildare you must think me a pretty

terrible sort of person

why no dead that's all right fancy well

as far as I'm concerned they're no

excuses necessary you're very kind

why not at all you don't want to do a

thing and you don't have to why should

you them's my sentiments anyway

of course only sometimes it's a little

hard to explain

then why try you know back home in my

father's office there's a motto hanging

that says never explain your friends

don't need it and your enemies won't

believe you anyway do you get away with

it well I seem to at least I never make

a date in advance I didn't even tell

your father I was coming here this

evening

simply because I might have suddenly

wanted to change my mind and go out and

come home with the milkman you see Dad I

know exactly how you feel

by the way what kind of a milkman do you

have on this block very charming

gentleman well done why can't I meet him

wait right here I'll slide into a dress

remember dad it was his idea you brought

him here I see what your plan is doctor

but haven't you been able to arrive in

the immediate conclusions only the

obvious ones she does love Heron she's

heartbroken of what she's doing to you

she's doing her best to seem perfectly

normal but mr. messenger this is a very

delicate point but I must know did your

daughter ever have any reason to hate

her mother hate a mother nothing further

from the truth why do you ask no reason

well remember this part is on me

sunrise why did you want to bring me up

here oh it's just we've had an exciting

night and I thought perhaps you like to

see the daylight come do you watch very

often yes yes wouldn't it be a wonderful

world of who were always daylight I've

thought of that it's funny how the night

affects some people me for instance I

don't like it grown men fade of the dog

what

I'm not afraid exactly it's just that Oh

a night falls something happens to me

yes yes look you're going to stay in New.

York will you come to see me if you want

me to we've been out since 9 o'clock

last evening you've never once docked at

your watch you may not know it but you

get along with me better than anyone I

know anyone accepting mr. Charles heron

there's no one on earth with Charlie

heron oh I could see you felt that way

about it when's the wedding I'm tired

just took me home cool uh what did you

find out about Miss messenger only that

she's a very complicated case maybe

weeks before we got the answer I told

you that yesterday without even seeing

it I don't suppose you found time this

morning to read the weather reports no

sir

well that cold pull away we've been

waiting for is reached Canada and then

this wake will come ammonia thousands of

cases you're going to fly north tonight

to meet it

then you'll check all the cases where

ever you happened to find them and then

you'll hop in a plane and bring me back

the blood cultures while I'll be camping

right here day and night doing the

laboratory work and then Jimmy maybe in

a couple of months we'll find out why

that 7% still dies

upon me sir dude don't you think we

ought to rest a few days before we go on

rest that what do we want with rest yes

Parker come in here pneumonia it strikes

so quick we work so slow why we ought to

be ashamed of ourselves this is a

twentieth century we ought to be able to

cure anything yet we let this white

death's invisible killer run riot though

we were still living in the dark ages

get me a hypo of adrenaline quick let me

bless you have a bone to pick with you

and you stay your inlet well what

happened tell me quick faded get outside

of their exit nothing's happening give

me that adrenaline adrenaline yes no you

can't burn the candle at both ends the

balls back right after this it's less

exhaustion that's up it's not all and if

you don't know what I mean it's time you

did know - I know everything about him

when you were running around diapers I

was watching over him listening to him

recommend to eight hours of sleep for

everyone else and get along with to

himself his legs were good once but they

were out trying to keep out with his

willpower

he had resistance he loaned it to his

patients and never got it back now his

time is getting short I didn't think

he'd want anyone else to know the first

day I came here he asked me about a

discoloration on his finger kept

hounding me until I said it was a

melanoma and meant cancer and why didn't

you keep him from starting this self up

I retain business me tell him what not

someone from doing something there just

isn't any way to do it you mean you

this is different because what this

person wants to do is something that

should be done it's been a good of the

whole world hmm

about a few men left like that now why

do you want to stop him because if he

keeps on it'll kill him I'm afraid I'm

not going to be much help to you I've

never had to decide big things with you

or your father I've always been able to

manage by talking a little plain good

horse sense except the one time I did

tell him a lie he'd been working in the

garden too much and I knew it was bad

for rheumatism but nothing could stop

him so I hid his tools and told him a

tramp stolen then stopped him well but I

there wait a minute you took away his

tool yes well I think you shown me just

what to do oh right that isn't a big

problem I've always taught you right

from wrong but the power of prayer and

the back of the hairbrush

what if I do what I think I should I'm

going to look like a snake in the grass.

Jimmy it's dr. Gillespie have been

talking about isn't it well uh yes yes

he's in bad shape

on this particular job he's doing I'm

pretty sure I can't go ahead without me

I see and if you quit email have to take

the rest but some wouldn't it almost

break your heart to leave him

it means the finish of all I've hoped

and dreamed god bless you don't feel too

badly son you may be the only one that

knows you're doing the right thing

listen off nicely yes it doesn't matter

what the rest of the world thinks if I

were you I wouldn't read any more

lemon please oh maybe I don't feel so

good

your nurse will be here in a minute

have any of your frozen faced

mealy-mouthed asses around me who'd you

beautiful Mary Lamont I'll I wouldn't

hello I'm ordering dr. Gillespie's

dinner please send up a small cup of

gruel some junket wheat tea no cream of

sugar

you might order me a postage stamp I'd

like to do a little reading what do you

expect to do with that thing I'm going

to take your temperature any time to

just take around here I'll take him

what are you laughing at something you

said last week there's no patient in the

world as ornery as the sick doctor and

if there's going to be any talking done

around here I'll do it myself

well I'm not interested what about Jimmy.

Kildare might have expected that 98

write it down

so what are you writing there

temperature uncertain patience stubborn

bad-tempered and childish what about

Jimmy Kildare but you should have heard

him talk this morning he was spending a

multi millionaires money last night a

steak sandwich two bucks

and what does Jimmy think boom there

goes a couple of shirts $5.00 - the way

to bang a new pair of shoes

will the orchestra leader please play

but will predict for Miss Nancy

messenger give him $20 Jimmy

wham shooter flow with an extra pair of

pants throwing all that money around

last night and next morning coming back

to $20 a month after all everybody's

human however would it you're right

you're not the way you treat Jimmy I

mean dr. Kildare taking away his

evenings off and working in 18 hours a

day where I work 18 hours a day oh I'm

sorry dr. Gillespie I shouldn't be

talking to you like this when you're not

feeling very well

hello mother.

Oh did you get the Sun lamp no they

didn't have exactly what I wanted Jimmy

looks fine doesn't he yes I've never

seen him look any better Stephen when

you suggested coming down here I felt

there was something the matter with

Jimmy oh he was in some kind of trouble

that you two were keeping it from me you

know don't tell mother she might worry

no nothing like that at all I know that

now well do you feel better no because

now I know it's you me you've been

unhappy for days if it doesn't Jimmy it

- must be you why don't you tell me you're - going to in the end anyway.

From dr. Jack's cowboy just the last

paragraph the rest is all technical

I think it's coronary disease and dear

Steve it's a very unpleasant duty to

tell you but I think you may live 10

seconds or 10 years come and see me and

we'll talk over the details he says 10

seconds or maybe 10 years Oh Steve now

mother I'm going to see another doctor

that's why we came to New York but we

mustn't tell Jimmy Martha we've been

married a long long time when every day

has been a happy one I'd hoped that it

might go on for 20 years me you're not

going to be foolish enough to tell me

that you don't mind dying but we can

think of some philosophy that'll make it

easier for either of us

no dear I just wanted to say that

medicine might not do any good but we

know that tears will but there is one

thing left the same help and comfort we

got the night that Jimmy had typhoid

fever

we waited not knowing you remember I

remember he marks the sparrows fall.

Stephen I'm going to take it for every

heart specialist that's listed in the.

New York telephone book I know he marks

the sparrows fall but I remember too

that the Lord helps those who help

themselves

yes you send him in good morning till

their morning sir dr. Carew what have

you done about the messenger case

nothing nothing's wrong I'd like to take

it you would yes sir I think it's too

big an opportunity to miss oh but that's

dr. Gillespie no no no not yet

well night I guess it ate to take you

away from him without his knowledge and

permission uh dr. Carew I have made up

my mind if necessary I'll handed my

resignation oh no no no no I'm assigning

dr. Kildare everything the messenger

case makeup northern I'll sign it Oh dr.

Carew please I'd rather tell dr.

Gillespie myself than have them learn it

through an official order oh yes yes oh

cool don't put through that order about

dr. Koo there until I let you know this

is all very fortuitous solving the

messenger case will be a priceless asset

to you when you're ready to go out into

private practice and of course it won't

do the hospital any harm

taking that all into consideration

what's the latest report on dr.

Gillespie there it is haven't you seen

him no nurse Molly Byrd asked me not to

go in we're not very happy about his

condition and see that wait outside Mary

I don't want you to hear what I got to

say to the head of your hospital what's

this I hear about you taking Kildare

away from me and putting him on the

messenger case why who told you who I

knew about it before the echo of your

voice giving the order died away what

have you been saying to my boy

I've told you 10,000 times to run your

hospital and let my office alone

there wasn't anything he said sir I made

up my own mind and that's absolutely

true Lynne get out of here

are you crazy you know I can't go along

with our work alone I'm sorry sir

for Jimmy

you're tired we take the day off go out

and get some relaxation you will feel

differently about it tomorrow no

messengers too big a chance to give up I

don't see any reason why I should go on

working 24 hours a day on something that

won't pay me a cent one when I can get

in with one of the richest men in New.

York

so dr. Kildare mr. Messinger waves a

checkbook in your face and you drop me

like a hot potato I've waited 20 years

for an assistant and I find I picked a

common little money-grubber

why did you want to study medicine for

you'd have made a swell pawnbroker Mary

take me backward I'm tired here's your

fishing rod doctor fishing rod where'd I

get it fishing rod remember that fella

that we killed the one that had the

misery in his back he gave us this what

are you bringing about I'm Jake I have

to go away I mean I'm glad you're sick

enough to be well enough to go I mean if

you're getting some sleep it'll give you

- some well this is a fish basket take it - with you isn't mine oh yes it is I meant.

To give it you for a Christmas present

last year but it forgot all about it.

Molly you're lying you can't prove it

this is nice to keep hot coffee in

where's that come from

Ted the hospital's name on it but I

scratched it off okay well under those

circumstances I don't take it well for

years I've known you had Stooges

reporting to you but there's the first

I've heard you have them stealing for

you miss Lamont write this into your

report my patient was feeling fine until

15 or 20 chattering females dissented on

goodbye quick I guess I can take a hint

I'll see you before you leave tonight.

Leonard are we at the Train doctor

should I go help dr. Kildare pack his

things sir none of that.

No.

The idea after all you've done for him

leaving you for a hypochondriac

debutante with blond hair and lots of

money uh uh another County heard from

what do you mean I forgot about the time

we were worried about Jimmy and a

redhead you've been in love with him

ever since that's not true oh let's stop

kidding ourselves

we're both sunk so that's the reason as

soon as I got to New York I telephoned

your father you're lunching with a

washer yeah I'll see you later of course

we have a date for a walk heaven right

- right dad if Jimmy's late you charge it - to my account I will not I'll take it.

Out with your allowance

come in Jimmy about I know nothing

definite yet human behavior especially

unexpected behavior is very often the

outcome of some fixation in childhood

while you're driving it or some instinct

and I can't rationalize it keeps

bringing me back to Nancy's mother don't

you know anything with 12 years ago

there was never any divorce

mrs. Messinger and I had separated for

several years you have no direct

information of your wife and daughter

during those years no I was in Europe

mrs. Messinger died of pneumonia hmm yes

she been here for some time with a

complication of ailments but the end

came through pneumonia where that long

island plays out yes burry you

understand that at the time I got back

to this country it was all over funeral

everything I had middle east pretty

since his Nancy ever visit the Long.

Island home I imagine so is he mrs.

Messinger requested that Nancy's nurse

should occupied as long as he lived.

Nancy's nurse here's a woman named Nora

I'd like to talk to this Nora I can

easily managed our telephone no no let

me see if I can't arrange to meet Nora

without anyone even Nancy suspecting

anything

didn't this much nicer than a walk in

the park oh of course but you certainly

changed your mind fast oh it wasn't

merely a whim when I got out of my

shower there was a phone message calling

me to Long Island so here we are there's

a half Nora my little lamb no this is

mr. Kildare pleased to meet you sir

howdy-do we're coming in come in well

now let me take your things

oh this is the nicest surprise I've had

since the last time you came surprised

Nora what was your message about me what

message I didn't send you any message

was that funny

what did the message say said to come to.

Long Island immediately but maybe they

took the message wrong unless the

service when I get home

well old fella what hair what's wrong

with you poor things been living around

here for a week oh I'll feed you I'm a

bad shoulder there found out quick

enough I just happen to hit the sore

spot looks to me like you're asking

questions with your fingers the way

doctors do oh what's wrong with doctors

no huh what's right with them Nora they

stood behind that your mother died right

before your eyes didn't they Nora please

I'm sorry darling what's the matter

auntie it's one of those headaches again

headaches how long have you been having

headaches I don't know four months Nancy

we keep on tearing herself apart with

these headaches a once and for all are

you going to see him I don't know hidden

who's him Nora a doctor oh no he's too

good to be a doctor he cures people

instead of letting him die

friend of yours Nora huh mr. Archie is a

friend of everybody who believes in him

Nancy you must see him now today when

the blindness comes

even he can't help you know if you don't

Nancy Nancy why not do as Nora says Oh

what's the use

nobody can help me oh please Nancy I'll

go with you just come and talk I don't

know who the man is or what he can do

but every day miracles happen that no

one can explain anyone as young as you

miss messenger is not meant to suffer

pain but you do don't you

violent headaches I can see that mister

archly miss messenger has just had a

very severe attack don't you think she

should lie down and rest a while before

you proceed yes yes an excellent idea

nor will you take her place in here my

dear was your idea in doing that you see

I know that Nora's told you all about.

Miss messenger which is of course what

she should have done we're all only

concerned with making fancy well again

of course of course just what is your

connection with the case mr. Kildare

listen it enough that I induced her to

- come and see you after all Nora wasn't - able to were she obviously I'm in your.

Debt

what's worrying you as an old friend of

the family I know more about Miss

messengers case the Nora Doe is that so

what for instance well six months ago

now revealed the Nancy the true cause of

her mother's death right suppose I tell

you no I was wrong wrong but the

mother's symptoms as Nora describes them

- to me sound very conclusive symptoms our - headaches blindness why couldn't they.

Indicate a dozen different things

meningitis for instance meningitis fine

doctor you must understand I'm only

trying to help you then help Nancy FSP.

Oh leave Nancy has inherited her

mother's trouble we must be sure we're

on the right track mr. Kildare unless

you have some specific information I

must believe that periodic headaches

plus muscular imbalance

plus blindness can mean only one thing

muscular imbalance well though suppose

I'm wrong just how do you propose to

treat miss messenger for this brain

children the first principle of my

treatment is to cleanse the mind with

- truth I then cure the body with natural - methods and electro vibrations you are.

Not going to tell that girl she has a

brain tumor

of course it's essential to my course of

treatment but you mustn't tell you've

excuse me now mr. Kildare I must attend

by patient look here art say that girl's

half out of her mind with fear already

nothing more than her own suspicions to

frighten her but she doesn't know that.

Norris told you the whole story

so if you diagnose her trouble as brain

tumor she's she's like lose her mind

entirely I don't agree

dr. Kildare oh yes you're a doctor

well I don't have to be a doctor to see

what your game is you're going to tell

her she has a tumor knowing full well

that she hasn't so that you can pretend

to cure something that doesn't exist

well I'm sorry but I'm not going to let

you tell her anything like that

Nora miss Messinger I'm convinced I can

bring you back to perfect health but dr.

Kildare here seems to think differently

doctor it's true Nancy sorry I'd learn

it this way there's no use keeping you a

secret any longer I'm a doctor you Jimmy

you a doctor

enough of a doctor to know that you're

not going blind and you're not going to

die because you don't have a brain do

Nancy I'm a pretty good doctor and every

instinct I have tells me there's nothing

wrong with you nothing but grief and

fear and brooding imagination since

you're a doctor you often be the one to

drive as poor child stark raving crazy

did you mean that hasn't she got any

tumor

now you need a little rest here hello.

Nancy will you leave us alone please

but you can't Nora please sorry to

follow you here Nancy but I had to get

things settled some wood you realize of

course you haven't let me see you for a

week although I've called it the house

at least everyday situations very

obvious Nancy just don't love me anymore

you're too nice to tell me so I realize

now that it's up to me to make it easier

for you

finance never see me again I'll never

see him again

furthermore it's foolish because you

can't win I've had it in my mind to

teach you something about gambling for

some time now out of the dim past I seem

to remember that if you get a seven or

an eleven you win.

Yes Doctor and if you get a two three or

twelve you lose I'll roll you for a

dollar eighty lucky seven you win

there's a man walking towards probably

somebody from the hospital

there Oh count of it huh may I speak to

you for a moment after you left me

can't you see I'm asleep I I hate to be

a nuisance servant while I'm at the end

of my rope

so you're on here so hmm well it's about

the messenger girl she's in the hospital

she's totally blind blind dr. Gillespie

miss messengers optic nerve seems

entirely non there's no sign of

deterioration by every test she should

be able to see but she's blind please

dr. Gillespie if you can't come back to

the hospital I'd like to bring her here

to see you know young dr. Kildare you

dug this pit for yourself get yourself

out of it goodbye

well when's the next train leaving New

York about a half an hour well what are

we waiting for my lecture today deals

with the type of human suffering that

invariably baffles a young doctor and

the great many old doctors as well this

is difficult to diagnose because it

conceals itself under the symptoms of

every known disease there was for

instance a woman totally bereft of

speech shrewd investigation finally

revealed that she called out to a little

daughter who running across the street

in answer had been struck down by a car

and killed the subconscious realization

that her own voice had called the child

to its death paralyzed the mother's

vocal chords even psychoanalysis failed

to effect a cure we were forced to

pretend to operate on her throat and by

this means convinced her that would

restore the speech surgically

everything. They dr. Kildare regards our

kindergarten has beneath his notice who

is it

dr. Kildare Nancy I found out what's

wrong with your eyes and I can cure you

it's been nothing but a simple little

myopic strain that always responds to a

minor operation always always next

patient I'm pretty sure I know what the

trouble is don't you tell me what the

trouble is I'll tell you what the

trouble is

but doctors going get in there in the

next room to take off your clothes I go

on don't round you when they get in

there

go on hit that next patient oh good

morning

sit down thank you

well I know you course you do

I'm Jimmy Kildare's mother a very

bullheaded young man well how are you I

suppose you've come to ask me to take

him back nothing of a sort why don't you

want him to be my assistant I want him

to be what he wants to be and when he

makes a mistake I want him to find out

why he made it so he won't do it again

suppose he failed I'm his mother I can't

even imagine it dr. Gillespie will you

examine my husband why was some animal.

I'll never be satisfied can you tell me

what you think I oh I'll wait till you

finish reading I'll go on talking I

can't stand people who can't do more

than one thing at a time

I don't want Jimmy to know anything

about this lucky no suppose I tell him

really ah I see well bring him in Monday

morning at 11 o'clock oh thank you very

much you're very kind

no no this way mrs. Povey I'm very sorry

about you and Jimmy your son is a

natural-born objector madam he doesn't

care which side of an argument he takes

as long as everybody else is on the

other side goodbye goodbye my just go

there hey you come on out now I'll

listen to you what's the matter with you

nothing at all

I never was sick a day in my life I just

come here to repair your telephone

I've already explained my belief that

one miss messenger experienced several

commonplace headaches nor written by

fanatic fears convinced the girl that

she had a brain tumor inherited from her

mother but now my conclusion is that the

factor which directly induced Nancy's

mysterious blindness was mr. Herons

words you will never see me again will

you come in now please I thought to go

there made it clear that this messenger

had been led to believe that an

operation has been performed on her for

a trivial eye ailment yes Nancy that's a

I'm going to take the bandage off you're

going to be able to see and you know as

I know that there isn't a single thing

wrong with you now how do good I'll do

everything only I can see what I'm so

sure of it that I've arranged a little

surprise for you surprise mm-hmm the

first thing you'll see will be yeah

Nancy Charlie Charlie now the room is

full assembly

Charlie Manson

thank God

fine work doctor they talk about Betty

to some other time do you think I'm I

going to see her doctor oh yes you're

good idea to knock first Oh dr. Kildare

dr. Gillespie would like to see you at

once you sent for me sir

I sent for a lot of unimportant people

you just happen to get here first well

huh dr. Gillespie but I'm knowing it

you've done me a very great service

you'll be happy to hear that

miss messenger I don't want to hear

anything about your diamond studded

millionaire patients I got a couple of

pretty good patients myself Barker

sending those patients you know the

funny thing is ever since you left here

everything's been running like clockwork

what patients those two people the man

and the woman you Nick wait oh why did

you say so

it fault I don't talk loud enough mother

okay what are you two doing so what's

the matter something wrong daddy you

will no giri a mother I have a right to

know we were worried about your father's

heart Jimmy oh why didn't you tell me

let me know it's all right now

dr. Gillespie they're trying to make me

think there's nothing serious yeah my

diplomas over there have a look at it

are you sure dr. Gillespie did you look

for any signs of thrombosis you little

weapon are you questioning my diagnosis

I beg your pardon sir I didn't mean oh

yes you did - ever since you started

your Park Avenue practice you don't

trust any doctor unless he wears a high

hat spats

I'm sorry sir you should have told me

well it was our worry until we had to

tell you Jimmy and stop fretting about

it it's all over now isn't it yes but

past two minutes I've been doing some

fast thinking about what my week off

next month how are you going to spend it

in the research clinic but now I'm

coming home and stay with you Oh like I

want to tell you how happy you've made

us say but I don't know what to say well

why don't you say something stupid you

usually do well Steven Lee gonna stand

around there gossiping with dr.

Gillespie all day huh it is a place for

sick people isn't it oh yes yes doctor I

said everything I could think I'm in

- there but I like say it again I'll write - me letter about it see you later son.

What we're going to have to do together

on uh-huh

goodbye awesome now let's see who are

you oh yes I remember a Irish pawnbroker

named Kildare I'm still grateful for

what you've done for my father are you

still here well I just want a minute

more sir the messenger girl is cured

thanks indirectly to you to me yes and

to the happy coincidence that your

lecture gave me the clue happy

coincidence is that splendid the first

happy coincidence was that I happen to

come back from my vacation on that

particular day the second happy

coincidence was that I happened to

lecture for the first time in a year and

the third happy coincidence was that I

picked that particular subject happy

coincidence

why you stupid little tadpole I've been

leading you around like a pug dog on a

string oh I don't know don't know what

to say

well you said that before as regards the

messenger case even good doctors often

forget that fear is a tyrant over the

body as well as the mind people can

acquire the evil results of every

disease just through fear alone I had an

instinctive feeling about that case on

the beginning you should have been

positive young dr. Kildare there's

nothing new about it

why were you back in the Middle Ages

when the Black Plague killed half the

people in Europe there were thousands of

folks that died of the disease didn't

have it at all

I thought iris are smart yeah there's

only one really smart guy around here

that's me I know everything I'm

convinced too that yeah I know even more

than you think I do for instance I know

that you didn't quit your job with me on

account of poor messengers money what

now Jimmy you knew I'd have to stop and

take a rest if you walked out on me so

you walk out him I'll never forget that.

Jimmy

how did you find out who could have told

him Oh nobody told me I figured it out

for myself that is to say I figured it

out asteroid way angle around with your

mother for a while Mary Lamont come here

how did you know I was here I've got

next tie in the back of my head I heard

everything

Mary that's one of the things you'll

have to learn if you're going to be in

love with a doctor uh I've got to do

something none so blind as oh it won't

see that they excuse me I have something

to do too the only oven the night you've

got a date with an airplane and a bottle

of sulphur fire a Dean Wow don't let the

local doctors give you any guard I'll

try not to do anything wrong suppose we

do everything

someday some fellas smarter than we are

looking all over and say well thank

heaven I don't have to waste my time

- finding that out you'll find the real - answer can you.

He'll get the real answer to pneumonia

that much sooner yes

I think uh my son
