...confirm original
Dr. Norton's diagnosis.
:21:05
There's a definite increase
in the eosinophiles.
:21:08
Periarteritis nodosa.
:21:10
A rare inflammation of the arteries.
:21:12
You're the first case I've had.
:21:14
Dr. Ruric has treated 10 or 12.
:21:19
Well...
:21:22
The prognosis is poor.
:21:25
How poor?
:21:28
The great majority of cases are...
:21:30
...fatal within a year
after the first attack.
:21:33
However, we've had some
success with a new drug.
:21:37
We're still experimenting with it.
:21:40
A miracle drug?
:21:41
Some people think it is.
:21:45
Why don't we find out for sure.
:21:49
Is that what you want me to say?
:21:51
It's called cortisone.
:21:53
It's a hormone.
:21:54
I'm sorry to have been so
out spoken, Lou, but...
:21:57
...if you think of the advances
in recent years...
:22:00
...such as in the treatment
of mastoiditis,...
:22:02
...typhoid and pneumonia...
:22:05
...you've a reason to feel hopeful.
:22:08
Just the lady I was looking for.
:22:10
A couple of forms here they'd
like you to sign, Lou.
:22:13
Do you mind doing it now?
:22:15
May I come back?
-Of course, in a little while.
:22:21
I'll be right here, darling.
:22:23
Right here.
