All language subtitles for Doogie Howser MD s01e12 Every Dog Has His Doogie.eng

Look at him--his skin,
eyes--he's jaundiced.

It could be hepatitis,
a stone,

hemolytic anemia,
cancer, sepsis. Anything.

We've got to admit him
and run some tests.

I'm sorry,
Dr. howser.

He doesn't
have an address.

No social security,
no insurance.

And he only goes
by the name Jupiter.

He's a human being.
That's enough.

Not in this hospital.

Go to the county
health care center.

This is the address.

Ask for Dr. Bennett.

He's a good buddy.

Here. Take the
number three bus.

I'm sorry.

I'm just
doing my job.

Mrs. mccormick, you know
that pink organ donor card

on your
driver's license?

Yes. I have one.

Scratch off "heart."

Dr. howser, can i
see you in there for a minute?

I understand
your frustration,

but don't kill
the messenger.

She's doing her job.

I've turned away
four homeless persons today.

It's not
cuts and bruises.

There's
a flu epidemic.

These people
could die.

There are county
facilities, Douglas.

How will
they get there?

They're broke.

I'm on your side
emotionally.

Economically,
i have a budget.

How can we
spend $1 million

on a biliary
lithotriptor

when we're turning
away people to die?

I wish
we could do both,

but the reality is

when people
donate $1 million,

they want their names
on a shiny gold plaque,

and unfortunately,
money talks.

Dr. canfield, please report
to the board room.

And when money talks,
i have to listen.

How is it, Dr. canfield,

that you're running
at 90% average occupancy

with a gross income
of over $200 million,

yet your bottom line

is barely 1/10 of 1%
in the black?

Third-party carriers
are paying less,

leaving us
with bad debts.

Additionally,
medicare patients

make up over 50%
of our admissions.

Right now, medicare is
paying less than cost.

We all know
about medicare.

Your gross income
is still huge.

We also have
huge expenses.

Why aren't we
more aggressive?

We need more
fund raisers,

something to increase
charitable contributions.

Well, you'll note
that on page 11,

Anthony j. Castaldo
gave 2 million,

Michael finetti
gave us 500,000.

Overall, our contributions
are up 4%.

Barely inflation.
We should be doing better.

I'd like to see where
these dollars are going.

The reconstruction
of the east wing.

It's now one of the most
technically advanced--

show us.

Very well.

We'll set up an appointment
for, let's say...

8:00 tomorrow morning?

8:00 tomorrow morning.

Bernice,

cancel my 3:00
proctology appointment.

I think I just had it.

Please!
He's just a dog.

He's my friend,
my only friend.

Honey, I'm sorry.
We can't help you.

There's no one
out there to help me.

We can't
treat your dog.

Isn't this a hospital?

I'll handle this.

Don't even say it.

What's the problem?

He's going to die.

Tell me what happened.

I was on my bike.

Russell was
running alongside.

Then suddenly,
he was gone.

He must have gotten
too far behind me.

I heard the brakes,
then I saw this car

hit him
and keep on going.

Why didn't you
take him to the vet?

I don't have
any money.

Please,
you got to help him.

It doesn't
look bad--

plain fracture
across the neck of the femur.

Needs reduction,
but the fragments are in good position.

No joint replacement
necessary.

It could easily
be pinned.

How did you get this mutt
through X-ray?

Heavy sedation.

Plus,
cassmier was on duty.

I threw in a pair of
my dad's laker tickets.

What's your plan,
doog?

First I'll
stabilize him.

It should be
easy to repair.

Who's going
to do it?

We are.

Now hold it.

What about a vet?

Do you know what
a vet would cost?

Surgery, boarding,
that's over $1,000.

How will you get
a dog into the O.R.?

Number four.

The observation gallery
isn't finished,

but the room's
functional and ready.

We'll probably
need some lights.

And Myers is a dog freak.
He'll do the anesthesia.

With you two on board,

we can be in and out--
half-hour, Max.

I really don't think
we should do this.

She's right.

Don't even ask.

Well...

I won't send six years
of work down the drain

for a mutt
with a busted hip.

What?
Shh. Come here.

Jack, curly...

Meet Russell.

Russell,
this is Jack. This is curly.

Ohh.

Hi, boy.

I really
hate you, doogie.

Who can say no
to this?

This is dirty pool.

Well, I know,
but it had to be done.

You'll owe me till Guam
lands a man on the moon.

Ohh.

Oh.

Honey, you're
a wonderful surgeon,

but I'm glad none
of your patients

are free-range chickens.

Their joints
are pretty ornery.

Have you ever performed
surgery on an animal?

No, son, I haven't.

Did you ever know
anybody who did?

Can't say I have.

What about Ted rainey?

Oh, yes, Ted rainey.
Ted rainey.

Ted rainey
was a radiologist

I went
to med school with.

The cheapest s.O.B.
I ever met.

David.

Arrogant, too.

Anyway, you know, it has
to be at least ten years ago.

His little girl
wanted a cat.

Ted was too cheap
to buy one,

and her mother took her
to the pound,

and they picked out a kitty.

Needless to say,
the little girl falls in love with the kitty,

and also, needless to say,
ten months later,

the kitty turns into a cat
and goes into heat.

She had every tom
in the neighborhood walking a little silly.

Not to mention the howlings
keeping the neighbors up.

So rather than spend 50 bucks
to spay the cat,

rainey decides
to do it himself.

And he gets Marty beeman,
who's an anesthesiologist,

to help him out.

And they go into the garage
and do it.

What happened?

Beeman o.D.S the cat
with too much pentothal.

Kills it, and rainey's kid
starts to cry.

Doesn't stop for two years.

Cost him a fortune
in shrink bills,

and his wife divorced him.

Light meat or dark?

How's the patient?

Fine. How are you
guys doing?

Good.
Fine.

Hand me the drill
and the pin.

Steady and retract
a little more.

Good shot.
It came together perfectly.

Can you hand me
that t-shape handled wrench?

Here you go.

Perfect. Like it had
never been broken.

One more
and we close.

Once completed,
the operating room

will be equipped with
laminar-flow air circulation

to decrease the chance
of infection.

The lights will have
remote-control movement

and focusing
from the field.

Everything from planning

through final construction
and equipment

costs almost
a million dollars.

What was
the allocation of $150,000

for an O.R. gallery?

Ah, yes. Something
I'm very proud of.

I know you will be, too.

Wait till
you see this.

Right this way.

This particular room

was designed
with an observation gallery

so that it can be used
for teaching.

Watch your step.

There's an intercom system

that enables us
to communicate directly--

doctor, there's a surgery
going on right now.

I wasn't aware

any surgeries
were scheduled in here yet.

Hello, down there.

This is Dr. canfield.

Who are you?

And what kind of surgery
are you doing?

It's me.
Dr. howser, sir.

We're finishing up
some minor surgery.

We had to use
this facility.

Everything else
is backed up.

Oh, by the way,
it's a beauty.

It's really,
really very nice.

Dr. howser...

Is that a dog?

Oh.

Uh, yes.

I believe it is, sir.

Howser.

This is absolutely
the worst violation of hospital policy

I've ever seen here.

Not only did you
perform surgery on a canine

in an
operating room,

but you coerced
other doctors into assisting you.

I take full responsibility.

I want the names of your
co-conspirators, Douglas.

No way. You can fire me
before I do that.

Firing you isn't
even an issue.

I tried to talk them
out of it,

but the board
has officially suspended you.

As of this moment,
you are out of here.

But I was just trying
to help this kid out.

I was trying to do
something humane,

something I rarely see
around here.

We're turning away people
who need medical help

just because
they're homeless.

Something should
be done about that.

I don't disagree
with you on that,

but the solution
to the problem

doesn't lie
in performing covert surgery

on a canine.

Where's the dog now?

In recovery.

I want it out of here
within 24 hours.

Douglas...

I'm going to continue
to try to get you reinstated

as soon as possible,

but don't
hold your breath.

Thanks.

Ooh!

This is
a humongous zit.

Maybe it's not a zit,
but a volcano.

I think I got it.

There. Looks like
i got it all.

You are depressed.

Vinnie, I was fired.

This is my life
we're talking about, my career.

I love my work.

There are plenty of hospitals
out there, doog.

None for a doctor
who got fired at 16

for operating on a dog.

Don't worry.
They'll ask you back.

These people
I'm dealing with are a heartless group.

You've got to appeal
to their compassion.

This is a dog...
Man's best friend.

Part of americana.

I mean, who barks
at our burglars?

Who brings us
our newspapers?

Who trees our cats?

The dog.

Canine americanus.

Vinnie, I won't even
get a chance to appeal.

You can say you
thought it was a midget

with a hormone
problem.

You're dead,
aren't you?

No. Right now
I'm just fired.

When my father
gets home,

then I'm going
to be dead.

Your mother told me
what happened, Douglas.

Dad, I'm sorry.

I know how much
you sacrificed for me,

and I know how much
my success means to you both.

I don't know
what to say.

Your mother and i
sometimes take issue

with your impetuousness,
but we support your humanity

and instincts
to do good.

You can teach
somebody medicine,

but you can't teach
somebody compassion.

And you've got that
in spades, doogie.

We're very proud
of you.

Thanks, mom.
Thanks, dad.

If eastman medical
doesn't take you back,

I wouldn't worry.

There's room
on the shingle for howser and son.

That would be great.

And if that
doesn't work out,

you could always
be a veterinarian.

Put this in his food
three times daily.

He should be up
and moving soon.

Oh, he can't chase
cars for 27 years.

Thanks,
Dr. howser.

It's doogie to you.
Thank these people, too.

Thanks.
From Russell, too.

We're going
to miss you, doogie.

Yeah.

Hang in there, guy.

This will blow over.

You'll be back
real soon.

Oh, doogie, who's going
to finish my desserts?

Keep in touch.

I mean it.

Come on, Billy.
I'll walk you out.

See you.

Bye.
So long.

I'm telling you,
he'll be here any minute.

There's howser.

There's the kid,
the dog,

and your
pulitzer prize.

Let's do this.
Yeah.

Dr. howser,
Janet felder, ktbe news.

Vinnie,
what is this?

Don't worry.
Be yourself.

We'd like
to interview you about what you did.

I don't know.
I...Guess it's all right.

Let's roll, stew.

And...Go.

This is Janet felder
outside eastman medical.

We're with
Dr. Douglas howser.

You may remember him
from a feature we did

when he first came
to this facility.

Is it true you've
just been relieved?

Yes.

Tell us why.

I performed a surgical
procedure on Billy's dog.

What's the dog's
name, son?

Russell.

What happened
to him?

A car hit him.
Doogie fixed his leg.

Why did you
bring him here?

Because I didn't have
money for the vet.

How's Russell now?

Doogie says he'll be
walking in a week.

I just hope doogie
gets his job back.

There you have it.

A boy's dog, a young doctor
with a big heart--

we'll be following up
as developments unfold.

That's it.

Kids and dogs, Dr. howser,
they're irresistible.

When this hits the news,
you're going to be a hero.

Thanks, Billy.

Vinnie,
what was all this?

Something had
to be done, man.

The message
is the media.

Something like that.

The negative publicity
attendant to this little escapade of yours

has gotten out of hand,
Dr. howser.

The switchboards
are jammed.

Some of our
larger contributors

have threatened to take
their funds elsewhere.

Notwithstanding our
complete disapproval of your behavior,

we're prepared
to offer you a second chance.

Thank you.

There are
conditions.

Absolute compliance
with the rules of this hospital.

No interviews
with the press.

We'll issue
a joint statement

about the conclusion
of this incident.

Sign this.
Have an end to the matter.

I don't think so.

What do you mean?

I'm not sure
i want to work in a hospital

that has
no compassion for poor people.

This hospital cannot
extend compassion

to stray dogs
and kids.

But it doesn't
extend its compassion

to the sick
homeless people, either.

We're not
a free clinic.

We're barely
in the black.

Are you going to
sign this or not?

Where are you going?

I've got to return
Ted koppel's phone call.

Wait a moment.

What will it take
to keep you here?

Gee, I don't know.

A million dollars.

Are you joking?

No, sir.

$1 million will set up
a good treatment fund

for the homeless.

All right.

What are you saying?

We'll find the money
somewhere.

But remember,

it's for creatures
that walk upright.

Are we agreed?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir!

Welcome back,
Dr. howser.

Thank you, sir.

Hi, Vinnie.

What are you doing?
Turn that off,

and turn this on.

I'm on the news, man.

They interviewed me,
and I was terrific.

It'll do wonders
for my love life.

I owe it all to you.

If it weren't
for you,

I wouldn't
be at eastman now.

Vinnie, you're the best
friend a guy could have.

Let's forget friends
and who owes what.

Here it is.

A statement was issued
by eastman medical center

that Dr. Douglas howser
was reinstated

and a new fund
has been set up

establishing emergency
medical care for the homeless.

Standing next to me
is Vincent delpino,

the man who brought
Dr. howser's plight

to our attention.

Thanks for
calling me a man.

You must feel proud
of what you did.

That I am, Janet.

I didn't want
this community

to lose the
genius qualities of my best friend.

He's passionate
about medicine.

That's something
for a 16-year-old.

Usually they're
just passionate.

Believe me, I know.

This community owes you
a debt of gratitude.

This is Janet felder

reporting from
eastman medical center.

You're very beautiful.

Well, thank, uh...

Back to you,
don and ed.

A guy's got to do
what a guy's got to do.

And you did it.

I'd love to
stay and chat,

but I can hear
my phone ringing off the hook.

Now that I'm
a media personality,

women are breaking
their fingernails dialing the phone.

This is Vinnie delpino.
Good night.
