Best Intentions Page #4

- Eh, move me'?! And who's Susu?

- You know him...

He was in the same class as Delia...

I mean you know his mother... Suiaga...

- Oh, Dani?! That was his name, I think...

- Right!

- And is he working in Cluj'?!

- He's a neurolo... Neurosurgeon.

- I mean he's still a resident, but he's good...

- A surgeon'?! Since when? Is he married?

I don't think... Does it matter'?!

Why don't you want to be moved?

Why move me'?!

I thought about Bucharest,

but Cluj is closer. Everybody does it.

It's the same as here!

Do you know how nice Crisan is?

- Go! You said he's Waiting...

- He's not Waiting...

And he should have transferred you

to Neurology, anyway...

If it hadn't been for him... wow!

He operated on me

and I'm as good as new, see?!

Ma'am, I fell down, out of nowhere!

Really! I started puking...

It was as if somebody

had turned off the lights!

Internal hemorrhage...

Look at me!

Can you see

any hemorrhage on me?!

- Go to him, he's Waiting!

- I told you he's not Waiting!

- Don't you remember?!

- I do...

Honestly? Do you remember

I've just told you he's not Waiting?

Stop fretting! I'm the one

who told him you're coming...

- I'm now stupid...

- Don't get too excited...

Okay... Don't forget to ask him

about that pink pill... Go...

- I'm Waiting for dad...

- Ouch! What a cramp!

Right, ho?! it tickles mel it's because

of all this strings... The perfusion...

Thank God I'm okay!

See, Alexandru,

this vague White blemish?

That's a stroke

with broken blood vessels!

Your mother doesn't have it.

She's clean... This means

it was only a temporary obstruction

of the vessel due to a dot of fat tissue.

And is it normal for her

not to remember?

Yeah, amnesia is quite normal

in such situations

because that vessel might be

in that area of the brain

Where the memory is located...

- What about the repetitions?

- They are normal, too...

The brain is like any other organ...

It recovers in time...

As you've noticed,

there are no more repetitions.

Is there

the possibility of a relapse?

Yeah, in about a year,

unless she has a healthy lifestyle...

In my opinion, healthy lifestyle"

means less fat, less sweets...

And I forgot to tell you about exercise...

Exercise is crucial.

Otherwise, in about 20%

of the cases there is a relapse...

-20%?!

- Yeah.

Got it. So, from now on,

she's on a diet...

I'm gonna call you back...

I didn't say she has to be on a diet,

I only said a healthy lifestyle...

Which means she can eat

whatever she wants,

as long as it is healthy

and she exercises... a lot.

But if it ain't that serious,

how can I explain her the amnesia to her?

You don't explain it to her.

I explain it to her!

It's my duty right?

As far as amnesia is concerned...

One glass too many

and we're all amnesiac

You're right...

Your mom was lucky

I was on duty, 'cause otherwise

it would've taken a lot of time.

You know how things are in the ER...

And I was lucky I was able

to bring the radiologist back...

Dad told me what you did for us

and I'm really grateful...

Now... and I'm telling this to everybody,

because I understand the situation

and human psychology...

If you Want to move her to Cluj...

I understand Alex nas a friend there...

I'll have nothing against it,

I won't get upset, but you should know

that it would be better she stayed here...

She's properly taken care of...

And it's not too serious anyway...

- it's basically the same treatment.

- I think its okay to keep her here.

Of course it's okay,

but I'd be more relaxed

if she were in Cluj,

enjoying the best medical conditions...

- Got it...

- And, by the way...

Please give me

the CD with the X-Ray,

cause I Wanna check beforehand

if she can be moved...

Please don't be angry

because of my paranoia, but...

I'm not angry! I get it...

But there is one problem...

I'd give it to you,

but I don't have it...

The radiologist Went to Germany

and when he comes back...

- But I can give you this...

- Really? If it's allowed, sure...

Allowed... well...

it's 'cause it's you...

I'll scan it

and bring it back to you.

Please do. Take this, too.

You might need it.

Sure, thanks...

Thank you once again for everything

and I nope you're not angry with me...

Thank you, too. I think

she should remain here

but for his tranquility...

What can I say?!

I understand and I'm not angry...

I have a mother, too...

...and from now on you should be

more careful what you eat...

- Less fat, more exercise, less stress...

- So I'm on a diet!

I was sure you'd say that!

Yeah, you have to be a bit careful

about what you eat,

but it doesn't mean it's a diet!

If Delia doesn't gulp on pork fat

does it mean she's on a diet?

As long as you don't eat

everything you like, it's a diet!

- What did he say about the pink pill?

- Nothing...

- He said not to listen to other people.

- You didn't ask him...

And did he tell you

why can't I remember what happened?

Yeah. Apparently that's what happens

when a vessel is obstructed.

In your case,

the effect is the memory loss.

- But it's a minor thing...

- Minor?

I can't remember a few hours

and you say it's minor'?!

Mom, remember when I Went on a trip

to Sinaia and I got so drunk

that I still can't remember

half of that night? Remember?

- What trip?!

- To Semenic! A couple of years ago...

People would come to me next day

and ask me for cigarettes

as if were the best of friends,

and I couldn't remember anything.

- The alcohol affected my memory...

- But I didn't drink!

You didn't...

Please tell me if it's serious...

Didn't he tell you anything?

Mom, you're really something!

You forgot some things, it's normal!

- Are you finished?

- Yeah, take it...

it's a form of amnesia,

but it's the easiest one.

A couple of hours' amnesia

and I'm on a diet for life!

I'm really getting angry with you!

What do you keep talking

about the diet?!

I told you it's not serious.

Look, I have your radiography...

I'll send it to Susu, too...

Look... Broken blood vessels

look like White stains.

There aren't any White stains,

so there're no broken vessels!

Consequently, it ain't serious!

Leave it...

Alex, hon] I don't wanna move.

Especially if I'm fine...

- And Crisan is a really good doctor!

- I'm not saying he ain't!

But look at the state of this hospital!

If only one nurse makes a mistake...

- The staff is better in Cluj!

- Everybody's been so nice to me!

Two of the nurses

used to be my students!

- So what'?!

- God, it's so hot...

- They're very nice to me...

- Yeah...

I've been meaning to ask you...

Why did you Want this pajama?

- Because I was very hot.

- But why this pink one?

Don't you like it?

I do, but you have other ten

in your closet. Why this?

- Why do you Keep asking me that?

- Oh, hon', nice to see you!

- Hi, Rodica!

- Did you come by to see your mommy?

Good for you!

How's my little sick girl?

They're so beautiful!

Put them in that jar...

- How are you?
