00:00.000 --> 00:03.000
The story of Dr. Kildare.

00:03.000 --> 00:09.000
Whatsoever house I enter, there will I go for the benefit of the sick.

00:09.000 --> 00:14.000
Whatsoever things I see or hear concerning the life of men, I will keep silence thereon,

00:14.000 --> 00:17.000
counting such things to be held as sacred trusts.

00:17.000 --> 00:20.000
I will exercise my art solely for the cure of my...

00:22.000 --> 00:27.000
The story of Dr. Kildare, starring Lou Ayres and Lionel Barrymore.

00:27.000 --> 00:32.000
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer brought you those famous motion pictures.

00:32.000 --> 00:36.000
Now this exciting, heartwarming series is heard on radio.

00:36.000 --> 00:39.000
In just a moment, the story of Dr. Kildare.

00:39.000 --> 00:41.000
But first, your announcer.

00:47.000 --> 00:51.000
Now the story of Dr. Kildare, starring Lou Ayres as Dr. Kildare

00:51.000 --> 00:57.000
and Lionel Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie.

00:59.000 --> 01:04.000
Blair General Hospital, one of the great citadels of American medicine.

01:04.000 --> 01:08.000
A clump of gray-white buildings planted deep in the heart of New York,

01:08.000 --> 01:12.000
the nerve center of medical progress, where great minds and skilled hands

01:12.000 --> 01:17.000
wage man's everlasting battle against death and disease.

01:17.000 --> 01:23.000
Blair General Hospital, where life begins, where life ends, where life goes on.

01:27.000 --> 01:28.000
Good morning, Dr. Kildare.

01:28.000 --> 01:30.000
Good morning, Molly.

01:30.000 --> 01:32.000
What are you doing here in Dr. Gillespie's outer office?

01:32.000 --> 01:33.000
Where's Nosy Parker?

01:33.000 --> 01:34.000
It's her day off.

01:34.000 --> 01:36.000
What, you're supposed to be the head nurse around here.

01:36.000 --> 01:39.000
Somebody has to look after Dr. Gillespie.

01:39.000 --> 01:41.000
Oh, what, you going in to see him now?

01:41.000 --> 01:43.000
Yes, he wants me to look at a patient with him.

01:43.000 --> 01:45.000
Take a good look at him, will you?

01:45.000 --> 01:47.000
He doesn't look very well to me this morning.

01:47.000 --> 01:49.000
Sure, I'll take a good look at him.

01:49.000 --> 01:51.000
Come in.

01:52.000 --> 01:54.000
Good morning, Dr. Gillespie.

01:54.000 --> 01:56.000
It's you, huh?

01:56.000 --> 01:57.000
Were you expecting someone else?

01:57.000 --> 02:00.000
No, not really.

02:00.000 --> 02:02.000
But a man can always hope, can't he?

02:02.000 --> 02:04.000
Look, you invited me down here.

02:04.000 --> 02:06.000
I'm not forcing my way in, you know.

02:06.000 --> 02:08.000
How do you feel?

02:08.000 --> 02:10.000
Now, don't start in on me.

02:10.000 --> 02:11.000
Start what on you?

02:11.000 --> 02:14.000
All that, how do you feel, routine?

02:14.000 --> 02:16.000
I've been getting that all morning.

02:16.000 --> 02:18.000
I feel fine. I never felt better.

02:18.000 --> 02:21.000
I feel great.

02:23.000 --> 02:25.000
Think I'll take your temperature.

02:25.000 --> 02:27.000
I don't need my temperature taken.

02:27.000 --> 02:32.000
Oh, these fledgling doctors that keep wanting to take temperatures all the time.

02:32.000 --> 02:36.000
And I've seen you in some bad humors, but you're really surpassing yourself this morning.

02:36.000 --> 02:38.000
Oh, I feel fine. I feel fine, I tell you.

02:38.000 --> 02:40.000
You're all right. You feel fine.

02:40.000 --> 02:42.000
Now, who's the patient you want me to see?

02:42.000 --> 02:47.000
He's in 303. His name is Warren Jackson.

02:47.000 --> 02:48.000
He was admitted last night.

02:48.000 --> 02:49.000
What's wrong with him?

02:49.000 --> 02:51.000
Oh, that's what we've got to find out.

02:51.000 --> 02:53.000
He attempted suicide.

02:53.000 --> 02:56.000
Slashed his wrist with a razor.

02:56.000 --> 02:59.000
Wife found him. Didn't do much damage, though.

02:59.000 --> 03:03.000
I want to know why he tried to commit suicide.

03:03.000 --> 03:06.000
He's newly married, apparently very happy.

03:06.000 --> 03:09.000
He's a successful insurance broker.

03:09.000 --> 03:11.000
There's no reason in the world for suicide.

03:11.000 --> 03:12.000
Was he sober?

03:12.000 --> 03:14.000
Completely. Yep.

03:14.000 --> 03:17.000
He should be waking by now. He's been under sedative.

03:17.000 --> 03:18.000
Let's go and have a look.

03:18.000 --> 03:20.000
All right.

03:21.000 --> 03:22.000
Dr. Gillespie.

03:22.000 --> 03:25.000
I feel fine, just fine. Couldn't be feeling better.

03:25.000 --> 03:29.000
You feel fine? Well, you may feel just fine, but you look just lousy.

03:29.000 --> 03:33.000
I never look better, either. You and Kildare are alarmists.

03:33.000 --> 03:37.000
That's what you are, Molly, alarmists. Nothing wrong with me at all.

03:37.000 --> 03:39.000
My color may be a little off.

03:39.000 --> 03:42.000
There's nothing wrong, though. I feel fine.

03:42.000 --> 03:44.000
Hey, your color is a little off at that.

03:44.000 --> 03:48.000
A man can't have any privacy in this hospital at all.

03:48.000 --> 03:51.000
We're going down to 303, Molly.

03:51.000 --> 03:53.000
Oh, Mrs. Warren Jackson just phoned.

03:53.000 --> 03:55.000
She's on her way over to the hospital. You told her to come at 10 o'clock.

03:55.000 --> 03:58.000
All right. If she gets back before we do, ask her to wait.

03:58.000 --> 04:00.000
Yes, Dr. Gillespie.

04:00.000 --> 04:03.000
Thank you, Miss Byrd. Come on, Jimmy.

04:06.000 --> 04:08.000
Ah, con-founders.

04:08.000 --> 04:12.000
I do not have a cold. A man can sneeze, can't he?

04:12.000 --> 04:14.000
Who are you talking to? Talking to you.

04:14.000 --> 04:16.000
I didn't say a word.

04:16.000 --> 04:20.000
Well, maybe not orally, but I could feel what you were thinking.

04:20.000 --> 04:21.000
Guilty con-

04:21.000 --> 04:24.000
Now, get this through your head. You got a head.

04:24.000 --> 04:26.000
I am not sick.

04:26.000 --> 04:30.000
And no matter what you and Molly Byrd do to me, you're not going to make me sick.

04:30.000 --> 04:32.000
Any more than you do already.

04:32.000 --> 04:34.000
Why, Dr. Lennon Gillespie.

04:34.000 --> 04:38.000
Oh, fiddly-dub.

04:49.000 --> 04:52.000
This is my colleague, Dr. Kildare.

04:52.000 --> 04:53.000
How do you do, Doctor?

04:53.000 --> 04:55.000
Very happy to meet you, Mr. Jackson.

04:55.000 --> 04:57.000
And how do you feel?

04:57.000 --> 04:59.000
Too bad I bungled the job.

04:59.000 --> 05:03.000
Ah, well, naturally, I can't agree with you there.

05:03.000 --> 05:05.000
Your wife is on her way over.

05:05.000 --> 05:08.000
We had quite a job getting her to go home last night,

05:08.000 --> 05:11.000
and she only went when we persuaded her that you were out of danger.

05:11.000 --> 05:13.000
I don't want to see her.

05:13.000 --> 05:14.000
What?

05:14.000 --> 05:15.000
I don't want to see her, I said.

05:15.000 --> 05:18.000
Well, then, of course you don't have to see her, Mr. Jackson.

05:18.000 --> 05:21.000
Now, Dr. Gillespie, shall I ask the nurse to bring a sleep-moment on her?

05:21.000 --> 05:23.000
If you would, please.

05:23.000 --> 05:25.000
That's a frightening game of anything to have.

05:25.000 --> 05:29.000
Well, we just want to test your blood pressure.

05:29.000 --> 05:31.000
It'll be right here, Dr. Gillespie.

05:31.000 --> 05:33.000
Oh, while you take care of Mr. Jackson,

05:33.000 --> 05:35.000
perhaps I should speak to your 10 o'clock appointment?

05:35.000 --> 05:38.000
Oh, I'd appreciate it very much, Kildare.

05:38.000 --> 05:40.000
I'll take care of it right away.

05:40.000 --> 05:41.000
Yeah.

05:49.000 --> 05:52.000
Did you mean to say that my husband refuses to see me?

05:52.000 --> 05:54.000
He's very ill. He's not himself.

05:54.000 --> 05:55.000
Don't let yourself be hurt by this.

05:55.000 --> 05:57.000
But why? Why?

05:57.000 --> 06:00.000
Mrs. Jackson, have you any idea why your husband would wish to end his life?

06:00.000 --> 06:02.000
No, I... I haven't.

06:02.000 --> 06:04.000
Has he been ill?

06:04.000 --> 06:06.000
No. Not since our marriage.

06:06.000 --> 06:08.000
Before your marriage?

06:08.000 --> 06:10.000
Not that I know of.

06:10.000 --> 06:13.000
Oh, he told me he's had trouble with asthma and hay fever,

06:13.000 --> 06:16.000
but he never spoke of anything serious.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.000
I see. How about headaches? Has he complained of those?

06:19.000 --> 06:23.000
Well, yes, he has had some headaches,

06:23.000 --> 06:25.000
but he's been working very long hours.

06:25.000 --> 06:27.000
He works much too hard.

06:27.000 --> 06:30.000
Why did you ask that?

06:30.000 --> 06:34.000
Oh, Mrs. Jackson, I think your husband tried to end his life because of illness.

06:34.000 --> 06:38.000
I think it was that same illness that prompted him to refuse to see you this morning.

06:38.000 --> 06:42.000
But if you're ill and you love someone,

06:42.000 --> 06:44.000
you normally want them by you.

06:44.000 --> 06:48.000
I know. But your husband isn't normal right now.

06:48.000 --> 06:50.000
What's wrong with him?

06:50.000 --> 06:52.000
I don't know yet.

06:52.000 --> 06:57.000
I have a theory, but it's going to take some study.

07:07.000 --> 07:09.000
What did Jackson's tests show?

07:09.000 --> 07:13.000
His blood pressure's very low, and his pulse is very weak.

07:13.000 --> 07:15.000
That's a sick boy. I know that.

07:15.000 --> 07:17.000
Did you notice those rough spots on his skin?

07:17.000 --> 07:20.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He kept scratching them.

07:20.000 --> 07:25.000
He told me that during the past week he'd fainted several times in the office,

07:25.000 --> 07:28.000
that he had difficulty in breathing,

07:28.000 --> 07:30.000
and then he'd get waves of nausea.

07:30.000 --> 07:32.000
Those could be symptoms of a lot of things.

07:32.000 --> 07:35.000
Well, the rough skin might indicate an allergy of some sort.

07:35.000 --> 07:37.000
That was my thought too.

07:37.000 --> 07:40.000
I think we'll proceed with the allergy test.

07:40.000 --> 07:41.000
Can't do any harm.

07:41.000 --> 07:47.000
Allergy illnesses have been known to provoke suicidal tendencies in patients before.

07:47.000 --> 07:50.000
It's worth some investigation.

07:50.000 --> 07:53.000
I'm tired.

07:53.000 --> 07:55.000
Must be almost lunchtime.

07:55.000 --> 07:58.000
Well, not for two hours.

07:58.000 --> 08:02.000
Now, you sit down in that chair. I'm going to take your temperature.

08:02.000 --> 08:04.000
No, you're not going to do any such thing.

08:04.000 --> 08:06.000
What's the matter? Afraid you'll have one?

08:06.000 --> 08:08.000
Oh, I'm not afraid I'll have one.

08:08.000 --> 08:11.000
I know, doggone well, I haven't got a temperature.

08:11.000 --> 08:13.000
I've just got sniffles.

08:13.000 --> 08:15.000
It's the change in the weather.

08:15.000 --> 08:17.000
Well, it won't take long to take your temperature.

08:17.000 --> 08:20.000
Oh, go and take your thermometer and eat it.

08:20.000 --> 08:23.000
Very well, if that's your attitude.

08:23.000 --> 08:24.000
Miss Byrd.

08:24.000 --> 08:25.000
Yes, Dr. Kildare.

08:25.000 --> 08:28.000
Will you get Dr. Carew on the phone for me, please?

08:28.000 --> 08:30.000
What are you going to do?

08:30.000 --> 08:32.000
Just going to tell Dr. Carew that you don't look at all well

08:32.000 --> 08:36.000
and that you won't cooperate in the simple precautionary method of having your temperature.

08:36.000 --> 08:39.000
Ah, you're a tattletale, that's what you are.

08:39.000 --> 08:40.000
No.

08:40.000 --> 08:43.000
I'll bet you were a nasty little boy.

08:43.000 --> 08:46.000
Do I take the temperature or does Dr. Carew...

08:46.000 --> 08:50.000
Oh, go on ahead and take it if it'll make you feel any better.

08:50.000 --> 08:52.000
Oh, may I, doctor?

08:52.000 --> 08:54.000
Help yourself, Molly.

08:54.000 --> 08:56.000
Here you are, Dr. Gillespie.

08:56.000 --> 08:58.000
Close those pretty little pearls of yours on this.

08:58.000 --> 09:00.000
Ah, splats.

09:00.000 --> 09:03.000
What would you say about a famous diagnostician, Molly,

09:03.000 --> 09:06.000
who could diagnose everyone's ailments except his own?

09:06.000 --> 09:09.000
I'd say he wasn't as much of a diagnostician as he makes himself out to be.

09:09.000 --> 09:12.000
Now, see, I'm not going to put up with all this.

09:12.000 --> 09:15.000
Mm-hmm, keep the lips gently closed and the thermometer under the tongue.

09:15.000 --> 09:17.000
That's better.

09:17.000 --> 09:19.000
What do you think he's got, Dr. Kildare?

09:19.000 --> 09:21.000
If he's got what I think he might have, he's not going to be fit to live with.

09:21.000 --> 09:23.000
We'd better see if we can get him in another hospital.

09:23.000 --> 09:25.000
I've stood all I'm going to with...

09:25.000 --> 09:28.000
Ha-ha-ha, lips closed, thermometer under the tongue.

09:28.000 --> 09:30.000
Well, what do you think he's got? Something worse than a cold?

09:30.000 --> 09:32.000
I'm not going to say until I see how he looks tomorrow,

09:32.000 --> 09:35.000
but I have a pretty good idea, and so does he.

09:35.000 --> 09:37.000
Simply won't admit it.

09:37.000 --> 09:40.000
Well, I think that thermometer should be just about cooked by now,

09:40.000 --> 09:42.000
so I'll take it out.

09:42.000 --> 09:45.000
Yes. You two think you're very funny.

09:45.000 --> 09:47.000
Gosh.

09:47.000 --> 09:52.000
Well, young fellow, you are hereby and officially ordered to bed.

09:52.000 --> 09:55.000
Let me see that thermometer.

09:56.000 --> 09:58.000
Well, I'll be...

09:58.000 --> 10:00.000
Comes as a surprise, doesn't it?

10:00.000 --> 10:02.000
What do you know?

10:02.000 --> 10:06.000
Well, I did think I was feeling, uh, might groggy.

10:06.000 --> 10:09.000
You sure you didn't have that thermometer under the hot water tap?

10:09.000 --> 10:11.000
You saw me shake it down.

10:11.000 --> 10:13.000
Molly, get a room for Dr. Gillespie.

10:13.000 --> 10:15.000
An isolation room.

10:15.000 --> 10:16.000
An isolation room?

10:16.000 --> 10:18.000
You know why, don't you, Dr. Chalk?

10:18.000 --> 10:21.000
Ah, I don't have that. I couldn't possibly have that.

10:21.000 --> 10:22.000
Why not?

10:22.000 --> 10:23.000
I'm too old for one reason.

10:23.000 --> 10:27.000
You know your medical history well enough to know that men of 99 have come down with it.

10:27.000 --> 10:31.000
Say, would it be asking too much to ask what you two are talking about?

10:31.000 --> 10:33.000
Yeah, it certainly would.

10:33.000 --> 10:36.000
Besides, I don't have any outward signs to indicate...

10:36.000 --> 10:38.000
Have I had them?

10:38.000 --> 10:40.000
Oh, I must have.

10:40.000 --> 10:42.000
But you don't really know.

10:42.000 --> 10:44.000
No, I don't really know.

10:44.000 --> 10:46.000
Well, and we'll know better tomorrow.

10:46.000 --> 10:49.000
If that's what you do have, you know yourself.

10:49.000 --> 10:51.000
We can't take any chances.

10:51.000 --> 11:08.000
Splats. Double splats.

11:08.000 --> 11:12.000
Well, Mr. Jackson, Dr. Gillespie is ill, and if you don't mind, I'm taking over your case.

11:12.000 --> 11:16.000
Oh, I don't mind. It's about time I was getting out of here, isn't it?

11:16.000 --> 11:18.000
Have you ever had any allergy tests?

11:18.000 --> 11:21.000
Oh, I had a few tests when I was treated for hay fever.

11:21.000 --> 11:25.000
I'd like to have you stay at the hospital a couple of days for a series of tests.

11:25.000 --> 11:27.000
You may be able to find out what the root of your trouble is.

11:27.000 --> 11:31.000
You don't have to put me through any tests to find that out, Dr. Kildare.

11:31.000 --> 11:34.000
The root of my trouble is the root of all evil. Money.

11:34.000 --> 11:35.000
I see.

11:35.000 --> 11:39.000
You see, I've taken on quite a few extra responsibilities lately.

11:39.000 --> 11:41.000
New home, new car.

11:41.000 --> 11:43.000
I went in a little too deep, I guess.

11:43.000 --> 11:46.000
I've been working late, trying to pick up some extra commissions, but...

11:46.000 --> 11:48.000
haven't had too much luck.

11:48.000 --> 11:50.000
You're in love with your wife, aren't you?

11:50.000 --> 11:51.000
Very much.

11:51.000 --> 11:54.000
Well, then, how would you account for...

11:54.000 --> 11:56.000
My trying suicides?

11:56.000 --> 11:59.000
Oh, I got pretty depressed the other night.

11:59.000 --> 12:01.000
I've been feeling so rotten and...

12:01.000 --> 12:04.000
Well, Ellen and I had a fight about money.

12:04.000 --> 12:07.000
I got to thinking that she'd be better off without me.

12:07.000 --> 12:09.000
My health seems to be completely shot.

12:09.000 --> 12:12.000
Don't scratch your face like that. You'll only make the rash worse.

12:12.000 --> 12:16.000
I'm going to order a shot of adrenaline for you. That'll relieve your discomfort.

12:16.000 --> 12:19.000
And look here, Mr. Jackson, I think I can help you.

12:19.000 --> 12:22.000
I'm convinced that your state of mind, though, as well as your health...

12:22.000 --> 12:24.000
is caused by an allergic condition.

12:24.000 --> 12:26.000
Will you give me a chance to find out?

12:26.000 --> 12:29.000
You mean, you really think you can fix me up?

12:29.000 --> 12:30.000
I'm going to do my best.

12:30.000 --> 12:50.000
Okay, Doc, but I guess you've got yourself a patient.

12:50.000 --> 12:53.000
Get out of here.

12:53.000 --> 12:54.000
Mm-hmm.

12:54.000 --> 12:56.000
Just as I thought.

12:56.000 --> 13:02.000
For your information, my temperature is 103, and I feel terrible.

13:02.000 --> 13:05.000
I can't chew and I can't swallow.

13:05.000 --> 13:09.000
I sure got a beautiful case of them, though.

13:09.000 --> 13:11.000
Never seen a better case in my life.

13:11.000 --> 13:14.000
When I get anything, I get it good.

13:14.000 --> 13:17.000
I suppose they know all over the hospital about it now.

13:17.000 --> 13:19.000
Must look like a perfect fool.

13:19.000 --> 13:20.000
Not at all.

13:20.000 --> 13:23.000
It just looked as though you had a perfect case of the mumps.

13:23.000 --> 13:26.000
Mumps? Isn't that shocking?

13:26.000 --> 13:28.000
May I tell you something?

13:28.000 --> 13:30.000
They're not a bit unbecoming.

13:30.000 --> 13:35.000
Kildare, come closer and let me breathe on you.

13:35.000 --> 13:37.000
No, I've had the mumps.

13:37.000 --> 13:38.000
You have?

13:38.000 --> 13:40.000
There's no justice in this world.

13:40.000 --> 13:54.000
There's no justice at all.

13:54.000 --> 14:17.000
We return to the story of Dr. Kildare in just a moment.

14:17.000 --> 14:31.000
Now we continue with the story of Dr. Kildare starring Lou Ayres as Dr. Kildare and Lionel Baramore as Dr. Gillespie.

14:31.000 --> 14:33.000
Good evening, Dr. Gillespie.

14:33.000 --> 14:35.000
How are the three of you this evening?

14:35.000 --> 14:37.000
Oh, you'll be sorry you asked that.

14:37.000 --> 14:39.000
When did I become a plural?

14:39.000 --> 14:41.000
I was referring to you and your two mumps.

14:41.000 --> 14:43.000
They're thriving.

14:43.000 --> 14:49.000
The swelling is spread to the sub-maxillary and sublingual glands beneath the jaw.

14:49.000 --> 14:51.000
Thank you, doctor. Makes my work just that much easier.

14:51.000 --> 14:55.000
It also keeps you from porking around my mumps.

14:55.000 --> 14:57.000
Has he been a good patient today, Molly?

14:57.000 --> 14:59.000
Has he been a good patient?

14:59.000 --> 15:04.000
Blair Hospital hasn't seen such a commotion since he got the German measles during the First World War.

15:04.000 --> 15:07.000
I'm a sick man, a sick, sick man.

15:07.000 --> 15:10.000
Well, now it's time for his throat application. You'll see how he acts.

15:10.000 --> 15:14.000
I don't want another hot strip of flannel around my throat.

15:14.000 --> 15:16.000
That's a lot of nonsense anyway.

15:16.000 --> 15:18.000
Go get it, Molly.

15:18.000 --> 15:20.000
Get stuck, Dr. Kildare.

15:20.000 --> 15:25.000
I'm not going to have it. I know as much about medicine as you do, and I tell you it's a lot of nonsense.

15:25.000 --> 15:27.000
It's your own prescription.

15:27.000 --> 15:28.000
What?

15:28.000 --> 15:30.000
I looked it up in your book.

15:30.000 --> 15:33.000
Every 20 to 30 minutes, put hot applications to the patient's throat,

15:33.000 --> 15:38.000
consisting of 5% guaiacol and glycerin to be rotated by 2% menthol in landline.

15:38.000 --> 15:42.000
That's a pretty low trick, Kildare, a pretty low trick.

15:42.000 --> 15:46.000
Prying into a man's books when he isn't around to defend himself.

15:46.000 --> 15:49.000
Besides, I can't stand the smell of menthol.

15:49.000 --> 15:51.000
He has the application.

15:51.000 --> 15:52.000
Put it on him.

15:52.000 --> 15:53.000
Okay.

15:53.000 --> 16:00.000
I swear I'll never prescribe this treatment to another human being in the world.

16:00.000 --> 16:03.000
My stomach hurts.

16:03.000 --> 16:05.000
It does?

16:05.000 --> 16:08.000
Molly, suppose you put hot applications on his tummy.

16:08.000 --> 16:11.000
Get out of here, let me die in peace.

16:11.000 --> 16:14.000
Then we'll dispense with the stomach treatment for the moment.

16:14.000 --> 16:19.000
But if you have any more trouble in that region, I've found several prescriptions of yours,

16:19.000 --> 16:21.000
old ones that are real dillies.

16:21.000 --> 16:23.000
You will pay for this, Kildare.

16:23.000 --> 16:27.000
You'll pay for this when I get out of this bed.

16:27.000 --> 16:31.000
I know. That's why I've got to get my licks in now.

16:31.000 --> 16:35.000
Seriously, though, I'm sure you know how important it is for you to keep warm and quiet.

16:35.000 --> 16:38.000
We can kid about it all we want, but mumps can turn out to be very dangerous,

16:38.000 --> 16:40.000
and no one knows that better than you.

16:40.000 --> 16:41.000
Yes, teacher.

16:41.000 --> 16:43.000
Well, I'm going down. See Mr. Jackson now?

16:43.000 --> 16:46.000
Oh, how are his tests coming?

16:46.000 --> 16:49.000
Well, so far all I've been able to discover is what he's not allergic to.

16:49.000 --> 16:53.000
He's been injected with dust, moulds, pollen, animal hair, feathers, various medical drugs.

16:53.000 --> 16:57.000
He's been put on several different kinds of diets, and all the results have been negative.

16:57.000 --> 16:59.000
He hasn't improved any since he's been here either.

16:59.000 --> 17:01.000
His eyes have become very puffy.

17:01.000 --> 17:03.000
He might be allergic to something in the hospital.

17:03.000 --> 17:06.000
Yes. Possibly you.

17:06.000 --> 17:10.000
Possibly. Except that he was having these attacks before he knew me.

17:10.000 --> 17:13.000
He's getting pyrobenzamine now. That's giving him some relief.

17:13.000 --> 17:18.000
Has the man been given anything externally that might affect him?

17:18.000 --> 17:23.000
Have you checked his toilet preparations, toothpaste, soap, shaving lotion?

17:23.000 --> 17:27.000
I'm doing that tonight. I'll be in to see you again first thing in the morning.

17:27.000 --> 17:30.000
Be sure he gets that next application in 15 minutes, Molly.

17:30.000 --> 17:31.000
Yes, Dr. Kildare.

17:31.000 --> 17:34.000
I wish you had the mumps when I was treating you.

17:34.000 --> 17:38.000
I don't blame you, doctor, but c'est la vie. C'est la vie.

17:47.000 --> 17:49.000
How do you feel this evening, Mr. Jackson?

17:49.000 --> 17:53.000
Oh, I don't know. I don't think there's much good going to come of all this, Dr. Kildare.

17:53.000 --> 17:57.000
Don't feel that way. These things take time. They're real riddles. You have to have patience.

17:57.000 --> 18:01.000
One man is allergic to wool. Another's allergic to a bit of pollen.

18:01.000 --> 18:03.000
Or a spice or some other seasoning.

18:03.000 --> 18:06.000
He may be allergic to an animal or to a blossom of some sort.

18:06.000 --> 18:10.000
It's a long hunt to narrow the world down until you find one man's enemy.

18:10.000 --> 18:12.000
But once you've found it, you can help him.

18:12.000 --> 18:15.000
But you'll have to have patience. And so will I.

18:15.000 --> 18:18.000
Okay. Where do we go from here?

18:18.000 --> 18:21.000
What kind of shaving lotion do you use?

18:21.000 --> 18:25.000
Normally I use a special prescription. I got it from a doctor in Iowa.

18:25.000 --> 18:27.000
He said it'd be easier on my skin.

18:27.000 --> 18:29.000
May I take a little of it? I'd like to have it analyzed.

18:29.000 --> 18:31.000
Sure you can, but I haven't any of it here.

18:31.000 --> 18:33.000
You'll have to ask my wife to bring some over.

18:33.000 --> 18:35.000
What have you been using here?

18:35.000 --> 18:38.000
Well, the hospital brought some up. It's there on the dressing.

18:38.000 --> 18:40.000
I think I'll take that along, too.

18:40.000 --> 18:42.000
Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Jackson.

18:42.000 --> 18:45.000
Maybe I'll have something more encouraging to tell you then.

18:45.000 --> 18:48.000
Say, Doc, if my wife brings the lotion over, I...

18:48.000 --> 18:52.000
I'd kind of like to see her. She's willing to see me.

18:52.000 --> 18:56.000
Willing? All she's been waiting for is a word that you want to see her.

18:56.000 --> 18:58.000
I do want to see her. Very much.

18:58.000 --> 19:01.000
All right. I'll have her bring over the lotion,

19:01.000 --> 19:03.000
and you can see her for a few minutes this evening.

19:03.000 --> 19:07.000
Thanks, Dr. Kildare. I... I appreciate that very much.

19:14.000 --> 19:17.000
Hello. Laboratory? This is Dr. Kildare.

19:17.000 --> 19:20.000
I want tests made immediately on two types of shaving lotion

19:20.000 --> 19:22.000
I'm sending down to you.

19:22.000 --> 19:24.000
That's right. Let me know as soon as you can, will you?

19:24.000 --> 19:26.000
Thanks.

19:38.000 --> 19:40.000
Good morning, Dr. Gillespie.

19:40.000 --> 19:42.000
Glad to see that you're coming along so nicely.

19:42.000 --> 19:44.000
Ah, good morning yourself.

19:44.000 --> 19:48.000
Now why do you come in here to inflect in my poor, helpless body?

19:48.000 --> 19:50.000
Would you prefer that I went away?

19:50.000 --> 19:52.000
No, I certainly would.

19:52.000 --> 19:54.000
All right, I'll go. Just wanted to tell you

19:54.000 --> 19:56.000
that I think I've isolated Jackson's allergy, but...

19:56.000 --> 19:59.000
Oh, come here. Come back here.

19:59.000 --> 20:00.000
What is it?

20:00.000 --> 20:02.000
I think he's allergic to oris root.

20:02.000 --> 20:03.000
Oris root?

20:03.000 --> 20:07.000
Yes. He had a prescription shaving lotion that didn't use oris.

20:07.000 --> 20:10.000
But the lotion he was using here at the hospital did contain it.

20:10.000 --> 20:13.000
As I told you, his condition has been worse since he's been in the hospital.

20:13.000 --> 20:17.000
I've given orders now that he's not to use anything containing oris root.

20:17.000 --> 20:19.000
So we'll watch and see what happens.

20:19.000 --> 20:22.000
Well, I certainly hope you're on the right track.

20:22.000 --> 20:24.000
When do you intend to let me up, by the way?

20:24.000 --> 20:28.000
My temperature is down and the swelling's going down.

20:28.000 --> 20:30.000
Well, I'll let you know.

20:30.000 --> 20:32.000
How's your pancreas?

20:32.000 --> 20:34.000
Oh, mind your own pancreas.

20:34.000 --> 20:37.000
Shall I conduct an examination or do you care to tell me?

20:37.000 --> 20:39.000
My pancreas is all right.

20:39.000 --> 20:41.000
Scaltona?

20:41.000 --> 20:43.000
Scaltona. Now leave me alone.

20:43.000 --> 20:44.000
All right.

20:44.000 --> 20:46.000
Oh, oh, yes.

20:46.000 --> 20:49.000
Here, I brought you a nice iron tonic you can start taking today.

20:49.000 --> 20:53.000
Iron tonic. I don't need an iron tonic.

20:53.000 --> 20:56.000
By your own hand it is written,

20:56.000 --> 21:01.000
quote, an iron tonic should be given patient during convalescence, unquote.

21:01.000 --> 21:03.000
All right.

21:03.000 --> 21:06.000
Leave it on the table. I'll take it. I'll take it.

21:06.000 --> 21:07.000
I'll take anything.

21:07.000 --> 21:11.000
Now go back to your arse root and give me a chance to convalesce, will you?

21:24.000 --> 21:27.000
Well, Mr. Jackson, it's good to see you on your feet again.

21:27.000 --> 21:28.000
Isn't it?

21:28.000 --> 21:31.000
I don't mind telling you. I feel like the beginning of a new man.

21:31.000 --> 21:34.000
I can't get over the fact that I was the cause of Warren's illness.

21:34.000 --> 21:37.000
It wasn't you, Mrs. Jackson. It was the perfume you used.

21:37.000 --> 21:39.000
It contained a great quantity of auris.

21:39.000 --> 21:42.000
Warren gave me the perfume as a wedding present.

21:42.000 --> 21:44.000
I certainly didn't know what I was doing.

21:44.000 --> 21:46.000
How long will you be treating him, Dr. Kildare?

21:46.000 --> 21:49.000
Well, he'll have to come in quite regularly for shots for a while.

21:49.000 --> 21:52.000
We're giving him auris hypodermically now in very small doses,

21:52.000 --> 21:55.000
which will gradually increase until we build up an immunity

21:55.000 --> 21:57.000
and he'll be able to lead a normal life.

21:57.000 --> 21:59.000
Well, I certainly thank you, Dr. Kildare.

21:59.000 --> 22:02.000
You've made a great difference in the world as far as I'm concerned.

22:02.000 --> 22:04.000
I'm glad to hear that.

22:04.000 --> 22:05.000
Dr. Gillespie.

22:05.000 --> 22:06.000
Hello, Dr. Gillespie.

22:06.000 --> 22:09.000
This is my first day up, too.

22:09.000 --> 22:11.000
But I didn't want you to leave the hospital

22:11.000 --> 22:15.000
without my having a chance to see you and wish you well.

22:15.000 --> 22:16.000
Thank you, Dr. Gillespie.

22:16.000 --> 22:19.000
You'll be seeing a lot of me. I have to come back for shots.

22:19.000 --> 22:22.000
Here, now, sit down, Dr. Gillespie. Don't overdo things.

22:22.000 --> 22:24.000
You're still under doctor's orders, you know.

22:24.000 --> 22:27.000
Careful. Remember, you're among patients.

22:27.000 --> 22:30.000
Well, we'd better be going. Thank you both again.

22:30.000 --> 22:33.000
Yes, thank you for saving my life, Dr. Gillespie.

22:33.000 --> 22:36.000
And thank you, Dr. Kildare, for making it worthwhile.

22:36.000 --> 22:37.000
I'll see you soon. Goodbye.

22:37.000 --> 22:38.000
Goodbye.

22:38.000 --> 22:39.000
Goodbye.

22:41.000 --> 22:44.000
All right, all right, all right.

22:44.000 --> 22:46.000
So it was Oris Root.

22:46.000 --> 22:49.000
Yeah. You don't have to look so smug about it.

22:49.000 --> 22:51.000
Strange, isn't it?

22:51.000 --> 22:55.000
How a little thing like an allergy can have such a depressing effect on a man

22:55.000 --> 22:57.000
that it can drive him to suicide.

22:57.000 --> 22:59.000
Oh, I don't think it's so strange.

22:59.000 --> 23:04.000
I'm getting more and more allergic to you every day.

23:04.000 --> 23:06.000
Well, I think you should be back in bed.

23:06.000 --> 23:09.000
Been up just about long enough for your first day.

23:09.000 --> 23:13.000
You know, you have all the makings of a first-class bully.

23:13.000 --> 23:15.000
I shouldn't be a bit surprised.

23:15.000 --> 23:19.000
You see, I was taught by one of the greatest bullies in the world,

23:19.000 --> 23:21.000
Dr. Leonard Gillespie himself.

23:21.000 --> 23:22.000
Ah, spluss.

23:22.000 --> 23:36.000
And double spluss.

23:36.000 --> 24:01.000
In just a moment, we will return to the story of Dr. Kildare.

24:01.000 --> 24:06.000
And now once again, the story of Dr. Kildare starring Lou Ayres as Dr. Kildare

24:06.000 --> 24:15.000
and Lionel Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie.

24:15.000 --> 24:18.000
Come in.

24:18.000 --> 24:20.000
Oh, Dr. Gillespie.

24:20.000 --> 24:22.000
Come in, come in. How do you feel?

24:22.000 --> 24:25.000
Oh, I feel fine, fine.

24:25.000 --> 24:26.000
How do you feel?

24:26.000 --> 24:28.000
Oh, I feel all right.

24:28.000 --> 24:31.000
You sound a little hoarse to me.

24:31.000 --> 24:34.000
Oh, slight sore throat. Nothing serious.

24:34.000 --> 24:38.000
Well, suppose we just take your temperature and find out.

24:38.000 --> 24:40.000
Ah, look here, I've had the mumps.

24:40.000 --> 24:43.000
Well, son, I've got some news for you.

24:43.000 --> 24:47.000
Unless I'm not the diagnostician I think I am,

24:47.000 --> 24:50.000
you are about to have the mumps again.

24:50.000 --> 24:51.000
Ah, it's impossible.

24:51.000 --> 24:53.000
I looked up your record.

24:53.000 --> 24:56.000
You had them when you were ten years old,

24:56.000 --> 25:00.000
and it is recorded in your very own handwriting

25:00.000 --> 25:02.000
that you only had them on one side.

25:02.000 --> 25:03.000
Ah, no.

25:03.000 --> 25:05.000
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

25:05.000 --> 25:07.000
So open the mouth.

25:07.000 --> 25:10.000
We'll put the thermometer under the tongue.

25:10.000 --> 25:13.000
There's no justice, absolutely no justice.

25:13.000 --> 25:15.000
The thermometer under the tongue, under the...

25:15.000 --> 25:18.000
That's right.

25:18.000 --> 25:20.000
What are you laughing at?

25:20.000 --> 25:24.000
An old adage, Doctor, an old, old adage.

25:24.000 --> 25:27.000
He laughs best who laughs last.

25:27.000 --> 25:32.000
Dr. Kildare, you are hereby unofficially ordered to bed.

25:32.000 --> 25:34.000
Ah, what?

25:34.000 --> 25:42.000
