I apply for a research position
in the neurology lab.

:06:07
We have an x-ray room.
:06:09
This is a chronic hospital.
The position is for staff neurologist.

:06:14
- You will be working with people.
- A doctor, Doctor.

:06:20
- Any patients at the Carmel Institute?
- Earthworms.

:06:24
Sorry?
:06:26
It was an immense project.
I was to extract 1 decigram myelin -

:06:30
- from 4 tons of earthworms.
:06:34
I worked on that for 5 years,
everyone else said it could not be done.

:06:40
- It cannot.
- I know that now. I proved it.

:06:45
Maybe before... at St Thomas?
:06:48
All research?
:06:52
We are understaffed...
:06:54
He has never worked with human beings...
:06:59
Excuse me, you are looking for someone
with a clinical background.

:07:06
As much as I need a job, there must be
100 more suitable applicants.

:07:12
How about medical school?
:07:15
You could not graduate
without some clinical experience.

:07:18
You took a pulse, a temperature.
You did diagnosis.

:07:23
There you have it, then.
:07:26
You do want the job, do you not?
:07:33
This way, Doc... You spend much time
in a chronic hospital?

:07:40
- You would remember.
- I guess not, then.

:07:47
We have M.S., Tourette syndrome,
Parkinson's disease -

:07:51
- some of them
we have not got a name for.

:07:57
- What are they waiting for?
- Nothing.
