Bad Medicine Page #9

I want to get

a correct diagnosis.

Please! I've been

a doctor 40 years!

Well, now

you're a patient.

Keep his head elevated. Keep

his head up high and relaxed..

I want to take

a blood count here.

Blood pressure's

160 over 80.

Doctor Brujo, we have

a patient in stress.

Thank god.

A real doctor.

I'm doctor Brujo.

I work with your son.

Oy vey.

Chew on this leaf.

It will lower

your blood pressure.

Jeff, get me out of here!

Dad, settle down.

That's a hypo!

Who are you?

This is compazene.

I have no idea who I am.

No infection

in the eyes.

There's

abdominal distention.

Ah! Oh!

Peritoneal

tenderness.

How's his blood?

His white cell count

is normal.

Did you eat

anything today, dad?

Lunch at the hotel.

Uh-Oh.

That'll do it.

His blood pressure's

going down.

You got any more of

those leaves to chew on?

What's the rush?

I couldn't keep up

with you.

His father got sick.

He's in

the schoolhouse.

Dr. Marrex,

you are not well?

Excuse me.

I thought

it was an ulcer,

But the staff made

a different diagnosis.

We found

roundworms

In his stool

sample, doctor.

Yes, worms sometimes mimic

the symptoms of an ulcer.

Did you start compazine?

I gave him 1 cc.

Bartrum?

Yes, and lomotil.

And bay leaves.

Hmm.

You trained these kids

well, dr. Madera.

Thank you very much.

We will take you back

to the school infirmary

And give you more tests

in the morning.

Put him

in the limousine, please.

You'll be more

comfortable in there.

Come, Gomez.

I had the clap

for seven years

Before they came. Me, too!

Me, too! Excuse, please.

I had chronic epidermal

necrolysis and now, look.

Please, senior,

don't close the clinic,

Or I'll blow

your head off.

You're despicable.

You're subhuman.

You're lower than low.

Do you want a ride

to the town?

Do you want to press charges

against the students?

No, no, no, no.

You do that,

you'll throw away

The best opportunity

you'll ever have.

All you have to do is

put the name Madera

Over that clinic.

Let some of

the reporters

Talk to the peasants.

You could become

the mother Teresa

Of central America.

This is what I was

going for.

This is what

the pueblo program

Was designed to do for you.

You want me

to consort with criminals?

This is what you want?

That's small potatoes!

The big story

is the Madera clinic,

Which not only saved

the peasants,

But saved the life of

an American surgeon,

Who was cured

by his own son,

A medical student

at your school!

You pass this up

And you have

my resignation.

You are becoming

very aggressive, Gomez.

Jeff, tomorrow

I'll start making phone calls.

I'll stay here and get

lawyers for all of you.

We'll find

another medical school.

You kids deserve

to be doctors.

Vamonos. You are

under arrest.

Get your hands off me.

Hey, hands off

the suit, ok?

Don't worry, don't worry.

We'll handle this.

You just go home,

Take care

of yourself.

I'll call mom

and I'll explain everything.

I'll talk

to your mother.

Senior.

Momentito.

Momentito.

Drink a lot of fluids.

I'm so proud

you're my son.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Ok.

Where should we

hold the students?

Take them to Valencia.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

And quickly,

Because they have

school tomorrow!

He said we have

school tomorrow!

I don't believe it!

It's a trick!

Thanks, doc.

I, too, shall have

sons someday.

You see,

I am from

the province of Chihuahua.
