Best Intentions Page #8

Anyway... I scanned it

and I sent it to Cluj.

- Dr. Crisan gave as a... the X-Ray.

- Right...

Sorry...

Okay... I see they gave you

Mannitol and Cerebrolizin.

Those are fine!

And you're feeling fine, you say...

- Yeah, very... Thank you.

- If you need anything, tell me.

- Thank you!

- Do you need anything now?

No, doc...

And Dr. Crisan is really nice.

And he's a really fine doctor.

I'm on my way then...

If you need anything,

you Know where to find me.

- Bye...

- Thank you!

Thank God you're fine!

- Hello, doc!

- Look who's here!

- How is Mrs. school director?

- You're here too, Alex dear'?!

You came

so that your mom won't die, huh?

Delia dear...

An oak is not felled at one stroke!

- Why did you bother coming here for?!

- We're the last one to visit you anyway...

it's no bother...

We've just found out...

Thank God you're fine.

You didn't have

to bring me all these fruits!

- He's my son, Alex.

- We've already met...

- Oh, I forgot to give you a kiss.

- You've brought me too many things!

- Don't you remember we've met?

- I forgot!

You're just tired...

What am I gonna do with all these fruits?

They'll go bad...

I have some here, too...

I have some strawberries...

- Want some?

- No, thanks!

I'm allergic to them.

What am I gonna do with them?!

Mom, we're leaving...

You have guests, anyway...

We'll be back in about 2 hours.

Hon', before you go,

please take these cherries

to that lady's daughter.

- No... I don't Wanna...

- Please... She's so cute.

- Both her feet are in plaster

- I'll take them to her...

At least give those flowers

to the nurse!

Do we really have to, mom?!

It would be a pity

to just let them wither.

I'll take them...

Alex doesn't buy me any.

Why don't you just smack

one another'?!

Delia, not those, they're so beautiful!

I just got them...

I Wanna tell you somethin'.

- We really have to transfer her!

- We've already talked about it!

Yeah, but you don't know

what happened this morning.

- There was blood everywhere...

- What happened?

You have no idea

what I've been through!

Crisan lied to us!

He promised us great conditions

and look how noisy it is!

- But what happened to her?

- I'll tell you...

- Good morning! How are you?

- Fine...

You should come by my office

to talk about Petrosani...

I brought some books

to your mom. Hello!

- These are my colleagues.

- Nice to meet you!

- I brought you those books.

- Isn't the doc nice?!

And some of my music...

Pavarotti and Nana Mouskouri.

- It's such a hot summer!

- Here's your fan, mom...

Look, my boy

brought me a fan!

- How much was it?

-100 lei.

- So cheap? Where from?

- The market.

- Hon', what am Ito...

- I'm on my way then, bye!

- Hello, doc!

- Hello.

- It's a bit crowded in here...

- Yeah, and not only that...

I wouldn't Want us

to suffocate her...

I'm Waiting

for you to come by, okay?

- Bye...

- Diana found me.

The school nurse was there

and she said it's nothing serious.

Diana insisted

on calling the ambulance.

- If it was up to the nurse...

- Good girl Diana...

- Thank you!

- You don't have too...

I don't Want to nag you,

but I heard

you Wanna take her to Petrosani

for a tomography

it's better to take her to Timisoara

Everything's better there,

doctors and everything.

Everyone does the same.

At first I thought about

taking her to Cluj, but...

No, Timisoara's better

There's no contest, believe me!

I do believe you.

But tomorrow they'll discharge her...

I wouldn't hurry...

She should remain in Timisoara,

under observation,

for at least three days...

Everyone does the same

and it's serious business!

I'll see... Once again,

thank you very very much!

Think about it...

I have to go to Crisan.

Wait here, okay?

I'll be back in a jiffy...

Are you coming, dad?

- Where?

- To see Crisan.

- Crisan, now?

- Yeah...

- Tell me what happened.

- I'll tell you about it...

Delia dean

come sit with us...

I told you you were lucky

to have such a boy...

Remember when little Alex

used to iron his clothes?

We talked about this

when I told you

the perfusion was not fixed properly

and you laughed at me.

And this morning,

mom had blood all over her!

You're overreacting.

Minor incidents happen all the time...

Alex dear,

it's not such a big deal...

- Don't Alex, dear me...

- Sorry...

For me it's not a minor incident.

It's major!

- C'mon, nothing happened!

- It's okay...

We all do the same

when we care about someone...

But Alex, anyway,

you have to talk to me.

Your mom's fine now,

thank God, so...

it's over!

I didn't say anything

when you Wanted to transfer her,

I almost agreed with you,

but now I'm happy shes here...

- it's better for her...

- Sure!

- Everybody come visit!

- She's home...

it's good for her, now,

when she's about to retire...

it's got nothing to do

with moving her to Cluj!

It's got to do

with moving her to Mrs. Nuti,

because she's the neurologist.

And she was recommended to me!

- Sorry... By Whom?

- My friend in Cluj!

- May I know his name?

- What for?

Enough, child!

What's the matter with you?!

Of course, Mrs. Nuti is great,

who says differently?

But I forgot

to mention this to you...

Her sector is a lot dirtier

and here are normal people...

Over there, there are

some Wacky people, so to speak...

- That's true!

- Right...

And anyway,

I studied some neurology

and your mother

ain't my first patient, you Know...

My dad told me about your studies,

but I wanna transfer her to Nuti.

I got it, you don't have to insist.

The best thing would be

for her to remain here

and Nuti come visit her...

If she Wants to check on her,

I have nothing against it.

On the contrary...

We've Worked together before...

- Two are better than one!

- Like hell they're better, dad!

I thought everything will be fine,

that we'll do as agreed,

but now I see

you've changed your mind...

But Nuti made a mistake.

She should've noted everything down!

Maybe she was upset. Perhaps

they had ah argument, who Knows?

- We should've transferred her!

- We had no argument...

Do as you please! You didn't care

about my opinion anyway...

And you Keep my mom

on those mega perfusions

only for me, so that I can see

how nice you are!

- Think I'm stupid, or somethin?

- Alex! You're exaggerating!

Alex what?

I'm off to Bucharest.

F*** it!

No, there's nothing

to talk about with Nuti...

No, I'm not upset!

Okay, enough!

Tonight I'm going back home

and that's it.

Okay, fine, I'm going...

I'm not upset, Delia.

Okay bye!

Sometimes medicine

can have the same effect.

- Are you feeling sick, mom?

- I'm not sure...

- It could be the food?!

- What else did you bring?

The last perfusion

for today and a shot.

- She likes tequila, you know...

- Sorry?

You said Shot.

Stop with this nonsense,

they don't have time for it!

- So, are you feeling sick mom?

- I don't know... I feel Weak.

- It's the perfusion.

- I think it's the food.
