Manage episode 517643095 series 3603785
Dr. McGraw is making his rounds at the hospital. As he is nearing his office, a woman is waiting for him. She says "Dr. McGraw, I've been waiting for you. Are you about through for the day?" Dr. McGraw asks "Why?" She says "A doctor takes care of people, doesn't he? I want you to come look at somebody. My car's outside. Can you leave now?" McGraw says "Now, just a second. I gather this patient of yours isn't here in the hospital?" She says "That's right". McGraw says "I'm afraid you've made a mistake. You see, I'm just an assistant resident here. I have no private practice". She says "Well, here's your chance to start one". McGraw says "I don't think you understand". She says "Yes I do. You're the one who's slow on the uptake". McGraw asks "Who is this patient anyway? Why doesn't he come here?" She asks "You can't think of a reason?" McGraw says "No". She says "I see you've got today's paper here. Didn't you look at it, this item here?" McGraw says "Oh, that gang shooting upstate. Yes I saw that. Never heard of the two men they picked up". He pauses for a second and says "Wait, is there somebody else involved?" She says "You're getting warm". McGraw asks "Who are you anyway?" She says "A friend of someone close to you, Doc, very close". McGraw asks "My brother?" She says "Well, you made it. Do you want to stop there, or do you want to go for the jackpot?" McGraw says "I think I'll stop there". She says "They're driving him back to town and should be at my place around 10 o'clock. That gives us a little time". McGraw says "I asked you who you were before...." She says "And I said I was a friend of Joe's. Isn't that enough for you, or do you want me to spell it out for you?" McGraw says "No, you don't have to spell it out, just get out of here". She says "Doc, you're not being a bit friendly". McGraw says "You're the one who's slow now. I told you to get out. Doesn't that make it clear that I'm not going with you?"
