:30:12
We've got a little thing here, Doctor.
:30:17
The girl over there
is the daughter of the patient in 806.

:30:20
He is at the moment comatose,
and requires intravenous feeding and meds.

:30:24
The daughter wants to take the father
out of the hospital...

:30:27
and back to Mexico, where they live.
:30:29
The patient's name is Drummond.
He's apparently a Methodist missionary.

:30:33
They run some kind of religious mission
among the Apache Indians.

:30:37
The daughter says she's a licensed nurse...
:30:39
so she can give
the necessary IVs and treatment.

:30:41
I don't think he should be let out
of the hospital.

:30:44
The attending,
the guy in brown over there, concurs.

:30:46
Wait, let me have all that again.
:30:49
As a matter of fact,
this is Dr. Biegelman's case.

:30:52
Never mind the professional ethics.
What happened?

:30:56
I don't know why I'm covering up
for that son of a bitch in Farkis Pavilion.

:31:00
The patient, a man of 56,
was admitted to the hospital 10 days ago...

:31:04
in good health, for a checkup.
No visible distress.

:31:07
We did the mandatory workup on him.
Blood cultures, stool, LE preps, chest EKG.

:31:11
All negative. However, there was
some evidence of protein in his urine.

:31:15
I don't know how that guy
in Farkis Pavilion found out.

:31:18
Maybe he had a deal
with one of the girls in the lab.

:31:21
He turned up the next day...
:31:22
conned the patient into signing
an authorization for a biopsy.

:31:25
- What guy in Farkis Pavilion?
- Some postgrad fellow named lves.

:31:29
Elroy lves. I never met him. He's on
one of the immunology research programs.

:31:33
Some postgrad came up here,
did a biopsy on the patient?

:31:35
Yes, sir. He conned Biegelman
with that story...

:31:38
Protein in the urine?
:31:39
- And he biopsied the man?
- And he nicked a vessel.

:31:42
They woke up Biegelman at 2:00
in the morning, as the patient was in shock.

:31:46
Biegelman called the kidney people
for a consult.

:31:48
But what was there to see?
The patient was sour and bleeding.

:31:51
Spoke to this fellow, Sutcliff.
:31:53
He referred us to a surgeon named Welbeck.
:31:55
- That barber?
- You ain't heard nothing yet.

:31:58
We finally got Welbeck
around 4:00 in the morning.
