Bad Medicine Page #4

Looks like some kind

of a rash.

Yeah, yeah, that was

my diagnosis, too.

It's going to be

all right.

Senior Gomez?

Is there any cortisone?

We didn't bring any.

No cortisone?

No.

Senior Gomez, this girl's

wound is infected.

Where's the tetanus?

No tetanus.

No tetanus?

Uh, lower your voice.

Next time.

Why are we here

if we can't help?

Gomez, que pasa?

Public relations.

Perhaps next time.

Public relations?

Please,

lower your voice.

Quick! One of

the students is dead!

Please,

lower your voice!

Take him

off there.

Get him down

off there!

I need a lude!

I need a lude!

It was that damn

bandit friend of Diaz's!

Turn him over.

Turn him over.

Diaz, you'll be

in the suit!

Everybody clear out and give him

some air. Please, no pictures. Please.

Ow! Oh.

What's your name?

I told you already.

Tell me again.

Jeff.

Where are you from,

Jeff?

Boston.

Good town, Beantown.

Come on, Jeff,

just keep talking to me.

Recite the pledge

of allegiance.

Uh, four score

and seven...

ah, oh.

I, you, four...

I pledge

allegiance...

I pledge allegiance

to the flag.

The bullet missed

your artery

But it's lodged

in the vein.

Is that good?

You better remove

this bullet, dr. Diaz.

I'm only a physical doctor.

A what?

A gym teacher.

This bullet has to

come out pronto,

Because he's

losing blood.

"No surgery

is permitted,

Under strict orders

of dr. Madera. "

All right, well, if he

loses too much blood

Gangrene's gonna set in

And we're gonna have

to amputate.

Oh, please, don't!

senior Gomez?

Operate?

Ah!

Yes, operate.

Only, do a good job.

All right, look, it's me

or the gym teacher.

Now I've never

removed a bullet,

But I've seen it done.

Do whatever you saw.

Thanks.

Does anyone have

any alcohol?

Gracias.

Aah!

Not yet, father.

Why do I

listen to you?

My apologies, doctor,

But we got almost 10 inquiries

from that article.

I think all Americans

want their sons

To be doctors.

Yes, but not

dead doctors!

Ramon.

You don't say good-Bye

to your mother?

Good-Bye, mother.

You don't kiss

your mother?

This place affiliated

with the school?

Yeah, I think so.

My doctor's a sophomore.

It's for pests.

Do you want me to

call your folks?

No, no. They'll think

this is self-Inflicted.

Wait a minute,

you guys. Look.

We sure could have

used that medicine

At san Agustin. Sure

could've.

Yeah. I tell you something.

Talk about getting shot...

Somebody should

talk to Madera

And tell him we're

not gonna go back

Next time unless

we have medication.

Absolutely. Somebody has got

to stand up to that a**hole.

Ahoy, students.

Buenos dias, dr. Madera.

Hello, boy.

How are you?

Not so good.

I see you're

coming along very well.

I'm very sorry

about the accident,

But you know,

that's the peasants.

That's the way

they are.

Still,

that's no excuse...

But don't worry,

We're going to give you

an "a" in pueblo.

And miss parker,

an "a+" for you,

Because instead of

a dead boy,

We have a wounded boy.

Yes.

Well,

enjoy your education.

I'm going to go

talk to him.

Yeah. See if you can

get me a private room.

You know?

There's two guys

In a bed over here.

We're right

behind you.

Yes, my heart bleeds

for them, too,

But the medicine in

the school infirmary

Is restricted to

my students by law.

My license does not

permit me to heal anyone

Off the premises.

Tell me, are you free...

What do you plan on doing

about these people?

Nothing, I'm afraid.

The pueblo program

has been terminated

Because of the accident.

They threaten to cancel

my insurance.

It's a terrible situation

But my first responsibility is

to the lives of my students.

The peasants

are god's problem.

Tell me,

are you free...

Now wait a minute.

I'm sorry, now,

I don't believe

it's god's will

That people

suffer needlessly.

That sounds more like

man's will to me.

Why do Americans

always think

That they can change

a thousand years of history

In one day?

When you're fixing noses

in Beverly Hills,

We will still be faced

with the problem

Of these peasants.

You are very charming.

Would you be free for dinner

tonight by any chance?

No.

Neither am I,

unfortunately.

Promised you I'd

come down here, dad.

I came, I tried,

I got shot.

Leave these

for the next sucker.

Hi. I stopped

by the hospital.

They said

you'd checked out.

I was talking to

Madera, and, um...

how come

you're packing?

'Cause I'm leaving.

Why?

Because I got shot.

I didn't want

to be a doctor

In the first place,

and then I get shot

For treating a patient.

It's ironic, isn't it?

No... All right,

wait a minute,

If you didn't want

to be a doctor,

What are you

doing here?

It's a long story.

It started

the day I was born,

And it ended today.

Listen, uh,

If you want some coffee

or anything...

Or the Mr. Coffee

or the pots, the pans,

Or whatever I've got

in there,

You can have.

I mean, I don't need it.

How'd it go

with Madera?

Great. He's canceling

the pueblo program.

I can't say

I blame him,

Although

it's a day too late.

You know, I don't

believe you said that.

Why?

Why? You were there,

you saw those people.

Yeah, one of them shot me.

Is that all

you think about?

Getting shot?

Yeah, for some reason,

I just can't seem to shake it.

Look, Liz,

I'm not an animal.

I understand. And I know

that those people are sick.

I know that someone

should help them,

But it's not me.

I don't know how.

Ok. All right, ok.

Ok.

Have a nice trip.

What... That's

the good-Bye?

Where are you going?

Well, first I'm going to

the school infirmary,

And steal

the medication.

And then I'm going to

take it to san Agustin.

Steal? You're gonna steal?

You're going to get

thrown out of school.

Yeah, well,

only if I'm caught.

Come on, Liz,

be sensible.

You're looking

for trouble.

All right, look, Jeff,

you got shot.

Someone

took the bullet out,

You were put into

a hospital,

You were given

medication,

And you were healed.

Now are you

the only person

On the whole planet

who deserves that?

"He waited, his hands

softly stroking her waist.

"Again her mouth

betrayed her.

"His belly cleaved to hers.

"Anne felt his hardness

against her thighs

And the hot darkness

of his mouth. "

uh, Maria?

Oh, heff.

It must be fate.

You were right on

the tip of my mind.

Oh, is dr. Madera in?

Oh, no. The doctor

is at a meeting

Off-Campus.

Great! Can you get off

for a minute or two?

Longer. I love

getting off.

Just a minute,

darling.

Let's go, you hunk.

Oh, Jeff,

There's this book

I'm reading.

Oh,

it's so romantic...

ihola!

I know a place

where we can be alone.

Where?

The school limo.

The school limo?

I don't know.

Trust me. Trust me.

Alone in bed at night

with my brothers,

I have often dreamed

of this moment.

That's nice.

Look, Maria,

Do you think this is

the right time

Or the right place?

Oh, don't worry, darling,

we are perfectly private.
