:24:03
You just won't believe me.
- Rose you don't have to.
:24:08
I don't mind.
- Now you'll see she's lying.
:24:15
See?
:24:19
I'd say about three months.
Are you satisfied?
:24:30
What did you say she had?
- An ovarian cyst.
:24:34
What is that?
- We thought she was pregnant.
:24:37
I'm not surprised you thought that.
:24:40
An ovarian cyst
can look very much like pregnancy.
:24:43
But that's just wishful thinking.
:24:46
She's lost her reproductive capacity.
:24:49
She had gonorrhea at age 15,
and it was left untreated.
:24:53
Gonorrhea?
- Just so.
:24:56
She also had tuberculosis.
The X-rays plainly show scarring.
:25:00
But the Gonorrhea caused irreparable
damage to her fallopian tubes.
:25:05
She can never have children.
:25:07
That's very sad. Poor Rose.
What a sad life she's had.
:25:11
Just so.
Now as to the malignancy...
:25:15
I think it unlikely.
I probably shouldn't have told her.
:25:19
You're right. She thinks
she has cancer and is going to die.
:25:22
She is an adult, Mr. Hillyer.
I merely gave her the facts.
:25:26
If she survives the surgery,
it's better than being pregnant.
:25:31
No. It's a blessing, really.
:25:33
And a stroke of luck
for an other reason.
:25:38
This operation
provides a therapeutic opportunity,
:25:43
important in the case of this girl,
:25:46
who suffers not only from a cyst,
but also from a neurotic condition.
:25:51
Neurotic condition?
:25:53
Go ahead, Doctor.
I'm following you.
:25:56
Evidently, she has been
quite promiscuous since childhood.
