Even have someone covering her When she tried the back aerial?

Mr. Benedict, I've told you.

I didn't even know she Was going to do it.

Why not?

Why not?

Oh, it certainly Seems strange to me

That her coach would Be completely taken

By surprise when she Tries a move, a new move,

For the first time.

Now doesn't that Seem strange to you?

Yes, it does.

It never should have happened.

Look, I've told you before.

I don't think nancy's Physically strong enough yet

For olympic-caliber moves.

The beam is so difficult, Especially for a child her age.

Just a minute, ms. Carter.

That still doesn't Explain how she

Got the idea to try the back Aerial in the first place.

You tell me.

[dramatic music playing]

I wonder if that little Girl is going to be ok.

Probably, she didn't fall very Far, and she landed on the pad.

Yeah, well, you Know, that, uh,

Balance beam sure looked a Little tricky, didn't it?

Yeah, it's like anything else.

You gotta know What you're doing.

Yeah, I wonder If I could do it.

Rampart, this is squad 51. How do you read?

I didn't mean to act so Unfeeling before, you know,

But this is my First day directing.

And maybe I overreacted.

We're gonna take care of her. - listen, you take your time.

We just broke for lunch.

Woman [on radio]: go ahead, 51.

Uh--

Woman [on radio]: go ahead, 51.

John and roy are Bringing in a patient.

There is no trauma, But she's very upset.

Uh, joe is free. Would you ask him to see her?

He's in 1.

Mike and I are gonna Go see nancy's father.

- oh, he's, uh, on the patio. - good.

How is she doing?

Well, she's experiencing Dizziness and some nausea.

But the x-rays are negative, And vitals are strong.

She's sustained A minor concussion.

I also suspect an Inner-ear problem.

We'll keep her here for Observation for a day or so,

But I think with Rest she'll be fine.

- I'll catch up with joe. - ok.

How's nancy?

Can I see her?

Yeah, she's resting now.

All the x-rays were negative.

She has a mild concussion and Possibly an inner-ear problem.

Is that crippling?

Oh, she may experience a Little dizziness for a day

Or so, maybe even some nausea.

But, uh, it shouldn't Be permanent.

When can I take her home?

Well, I'd like her to Stay here for observation

For a day or so.

Maybe you'd like to Contact your own doctor

And have him take over her Case now that she's stable.

I have a confession to make.

I called her own doctor While I was waiting.

He knows your reputation.

He says nancy couldn't be Getting any better care.

I'd like you to Stay on the case.

Fine, uh, if you'll see nurse Mccall and fill out some forms,

We'll be glad to Take care of her.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

I know nancy appreciates What you've done.

I-- I certainly do.

I want her to have every Bit of care you can provide.

I understand.

I hope you don't think I'm Being too protective of nancy.

It's just that her mother Died five years ago.

And since then, it's Just been the two of us.

Well, as it were, nancy Is a pretty lucky girl.

Lucky?

What dr. Morton is saying is That if nancy had hit her head

On the beam instead Of landing on the mat,

It could have been A lot more serious.

I didn't even know she was Working on a back aerial.

Well, nancy is still growing And developing physically.

Isn't she a little young to be Trying out for the olympics?

Why not four years from now?

In 4 years, she'll be 18.

She's got to have olympic Exposure at this stage,

Otherwise she won't have A chance the next time.

We realize how important This is, mr. Benedict.

What we're suggesting is that--

I'm only concerned With nancy's welfare.

That's all.

Going to the Olympics is important

Only to her, not to me.

Why, she's a born competitor.

I'm going to do everything I can to protect her,

But I won't break That spirit doing it.

Well, tinker bell Is gonna be fine,

But I don't think Dr. Early ever saw

A patient with wings on before.

It was funny.

I'm gonna restock here.

Seeing how as you're a Steady customer, go ahead.

A steady customer, you Know, I was talking to, uh,

[inaudible] The other day.

And they said that the base Station over at memorial

Was given trading Stamps for their orders.

Johnny, it's a good Thing you're cute.

Yeah, 'cause you Sure aren't funny.

I can be funny If I want to be.

I just don't-- hey, doc. - yeah?

Uh, can I talk to You just for a second?

Sure.

Uh, I'd like to talk To you about that, uh,

Little gymnast girl. How is she?

Fine, but she wants A crack at the olympics

So badly that she's Trying moves she's

Just not physically able to do.

Well, I figure if you, uh, If you want to be a champion,

You've got to take chances.

I mean, uh, you take chances Every day of your life,

Don't you?

Ok, if you know what the risks Are, and I don't think a child

Her age can make a Decision like that.

Yeah, I agree with You wholeheartedly,

But I think that that's where The parents and the coaches

Come in.

And that just very Well may be the problem.

Ok, fine, but I don't Think that you should

Be blaming a little girl.

I'm not.

What's happening?

Oh, we're just exchanging a Few medical ideas and things.

I've gotta go back to work. I'll see you later.

Hey, listen. Will you do me a favor?

Sure.

Keep me informed On the little girl.

- yeah. - ok, thank you.

Mm-hmm.

We were talking about That little gymnast girl.

Uh-huh, a simple paramedic Debating with a real doctor,

Huh? - simple--

- just, it was a joke. - --paramedic?

I was kidding.

Yeah, well, a very Little joke, as dixie said,

You're just real cute, roy. You're just real cute.

I'm surprised he's gotten That emotionally involved.

Well, he's just not seasoned Like you and I are, you know?

That's true.

He hasn't been on The runs we have.

You just can't get involved.

You cannot get emotionally Involved with a patient.

Involved with anything.

Could just give these to her And tell her I said hello.

What, uh, what seems To be the problem?

Don't you two get along?

Doctor, do you know what the Worst kind of little-league

Parents are like, You know, those

Perfectly normal people Who turn into monsters

When their kid's at bat?

Well, multiply that By 10, and you have

A father with olympic fever.

They smell those gold Medals and go crazy.

Hmm, benedict didn't strike Me that way, just the opposite,

In fact.

Oh, the parents who yell Or scream or make threats,

I can handle.

Benedict's worse.

He uses guilt.

Guilt?

I don't understand.

Well, he just tells Nancy how disappointed

He is when she doesn't do well.

Did you ever see a kid cry Because she's afraid her father

Won't love her anymore?

You think benedict is Responsible for nancy

Doing that, uh, stunt?

The back aerial, absolutely.

Hmm, that's funny.

He told me he didn't even know She put it in her routine.

I believe him.

He probably doesn't even want To know how dangerous some

Of nancy's stunts could be.

You mean, he just tells Nancy he hopes she'll win

And leaves the rest Up to her, right?

Exactly, and if He isn't stopped,

Nancy is gonna have Another accident.

She's down here? - yeah, on the left.

Thank you.

Daddy.

Hiya, princess.

You mean you want to Compete on saturday?

Do you think I can?

Well, it's up to you.

If you feel all right, it sure Would make your old dad proud.

Knowing that you were there.

Nancy has decided to Compete on saturday.

Made up her own mind.

That's quite a girl I've Got, no stopping her.

Does dr. Brackett Know about this?

Oh, nancy just told me.

No, I didn't know.

Uh, mr. Benedict, can I Talk to you for a minute?

Come on, nancy.

Let's put these in something, Absolutely gorgeous.

Here, this looks pretty good.

What's this about Nancy competing?

She says she feels Fine and wants to do it.

Well, she can't.

She feels fine because She's been resting,

But she still has the Inner-ear problem.

Oh, that's not serious, is it?

She'll keep on feeling fine As long as she takes it easy.

But an inner-ear problem could Affect her sense of balance

Badly.

You said it could, Not that it would.

Mr. Benedict, Please, believe me.

If nancy tries to compete Before this thing clears up,

She'll-- she'll get dizzy, Lose her sense of position.

She could really Hurt herself again.

Nancy looks terrific. She says she feels fine.

If she wants to compete, I'm not gonna stop her.

The decision is hers. - you can't really believe that.

The only reason nancy is Competing is to please you.

But you're an adult, Responsible for her welfare.

You can stop her.

Now wait a minute.

The olympics mean Everything to that girl.

I'm not gonna have her Blame me in a few years

Because she missed Out on the most

Exciting moment of her life.

Would you please Be reasonable?

All she needs is A few months rest.

She can compete later.

Oh, no, if she misses The meet on saturday,

She won't have a chance Until the trials.

She'll be systematically Eliminated.

I'm not gonna have that happen.

I mean, she would be Very disappointed.

I know exactly what you mean.

Come on, honey.

Let's go.

Is nancy going to compete?

Compete?

Oh, yes.

You didn't say Whether you can come.

Um, I'll be on duty.

But I'll get a tv Set and watch you.

Oh, great.

Nancy, let's go.

And hits her head on the beam.

Oh, what a shame.

She was doing so well.

You know, folks, any Type of a back somersault

Is a blind move.

That was a tough Break for nancy.

I hope she's all right.

[music playing]

Team is in 2.

Ok.

Mike, check her vitals.

Joe, check this arm.

Dix, draw blood for Arterial blood tests.

Her pupils are responsive, And her reflexes are good.

Blood pressure is 120/60.

Pulse is 110.

Respiration is at 20. She's stable.

How's that arm?

It looks like a fractured Humerus in the mid shaft

With a possible contusion In the radial nerve.

We'll have to check Her for wrist drop.

Right clavicle is fractured.

I want pictures of the Clavicle and the humerus,

A chest series, a rib series, And a full skull series.

I'm worried about complications.

Are you considering a Hemothorax or a pneumothorax?

Among other things, let's go.

And when she fell, she must have Tried to push off with her arm.

Yeah, she's a gutsy girl.

It probably saved her life.

But if the radial Nerve is contused,

Her arm will be impaired, Perhaps permanently.

Hmm, do you want me to Prepare to insert a chest tube?

Yeah, well, those X-rays are a rush.

Uh, ms. Mccall.

Yeah?

What's her condition?

We don't know yet.

Well--

This way.

I-- I just don't understand How it could happen.

She's so good.

It's never happened Like this before.

All of a sudden-- I just Don't understand it.

Will you please call me as Soon as you know something?

As soon as we know.

Well, the skull X-rays are negative,

No sign of a hemothorax Or pneumothorax.

With the cast on the arm and The splinting of the clavicle,

She should be stabilized.

Dix, let's go with a Figure eight bandage.

Oh, it hurts, every place.

The worst is over, nancy.

You're gonna be all right.

I want to go talk To her father again.

I'll get the cast on.

Ok.

Hi, nancy.

How is she, doctor?

Nancy has a broken collarbone And a broken arm, no other

Really serious complications.

Oh, thank god.

Um, doctor, when do you think She'll be able to, uh, uh--

To compete again?

I can't answer that.

It's possible she may never Be able to compete again.

But you said there were No major complications.

I know.

But to be a gymnast, you need An acute sense of balance.

At this time, there is no Way of telling how badly

Nancy's has been affected.

I see.

In any event, mr. Benedict, it seems to me

That there should be More important things

Between you and nancy Than whether or not

She can be a champion.

Sure, doc, sure.

Oh, no, it looks like We missed lunch again.

Well, I wouldn't Worry about it.
