You're very lucky. He's one
of the best surgeons in the country.

1:26:05
We're very proud of him here.
Mind you, he's a bit of a bear.

1:26:09
He growls a bit but
you mustn't take any notice of that.

1:26:13
You couldn't be in more secure hands.
1:26:15
0h, that does make me feel better.
1:26:19
- But...
- But what?

1:26:23
Well, there is another thing...
1:26:26
My sister, you see.
She had an operation.

1:26:30
All the doctors said it was going
to be all right but it wasn't.

1:26:34
- She was ill long after.
- Complications can arise sometimes,

1:26:38
things that no one can foresee.
1:26:40
- Have you ever made a mistake?
- Who me? 0h, Lord, yes.

1:26:44
There was chap last night.
Came in just like you, a bit late.

1:26:48
Said he was bringing up
nuts and bolts.

1:26:52
He was a crank. I got bawled out
but you see, he might've been right.

1:26:57
He might have been ill.
I couldn't take a chance.

1:27:01
You know, I don't know why
anyone becomes a doctor or a nurse.

1:27:06
All that responsibility.
1:27:09
Well, you know, Mrs Dalton,
I've often wondered that myself.

1:27:13
There are easier ways
to earn a living.

1:27:16
It's not for the glamour
and it's certainly not for the money.

1:27:21
No, I think it's because
they feel that...

1:27:24
the most precious thing
we have on this earth is life,

1:27:29
and nothing's more important than to
help people get their full share.

1:27:34
- That's why you became a doctor?
- Who, me? I'd like to think so.

1:27:39
As a matter of fact,
I wanted to be a surgeon,

1:27:42
but I don't think I ever shall now.
1:27:45
So I've just got to be good
as a different sort of doctor.

1:27:48
- A cup of tea?
- 0h, yes.

1:27:50
I'll go ask Harry to put some on.
1:27:53
I'd have thought it would be more
interesting to research rarer things,

1:27:57
like, oh, I don't know...
elephants, for instance.
