Irreplaceable Page #2

- I never said that.

We've kept him two years

thanks to Jean-Pierre.

Don't change that.

Let's make some room...

It's good to see you.

We're short of

doctors around here.

Everybody knows.

Here's Francis.

He'll say it too.

Francis. I'm the mayor.

How do you do.

Nathalie Delezia.

How are you doing?

Enjoy your lunch.

- Do you know the area?

- A little.

Her dad was from Thorigny.

I have a health centre project.

A real estate project.

What'll you put in

your health centre?

A physiotherapist,

a speech therapist, a nurse...

I spoke to Fanny.

She'll join it.

They hate progress here.

They live in the past.

Things mustn't change.

A new soccer pitch, they moan.

Chop down two poor trees,

they moan.

Plant flowers to prettify

the place, they moan too.

Know Maroini's syndrome?

No, I don't.

- Really?

- It doesn't ring a bell.

You usually diagnose

it by chance

via a chronic

intellectual deficiency.

Get the idea?

I have an interesting

case to show you.

Maroini's syndrome.

Look it up online.

With an I at the end?

No, not at all.

So how's it going?

I'm getting my bearings.

And with Jean-Pierre?

Fine.

Getting your bearings?

Exactly.

We told you before, you can

always change your mind.

I know. Thank you.

Tell me, does Maroini's

syndrome ring a bell?

What syndrome?

Maroini, with an I at the end.

An intellectual deficiency.

Intellectual deficiency...

H! check and

call you back.

Take care.

You too.

Look at this.

Not so bad.

The platelet count is low.

The white ones are okay.

You need to rest.

You can't keep on like this.

Why did I send her to you?

To piss me off.

I didn't want anyone.

Really, she's a great girl.

A mature student,

proving she has guts.

She's a former nurse,

perfect in an emergency.

I do medicine, not emergencies.

Why won't you let anyone help?

Why not say you're ill?

Who to?

Your family, your mother,

your son's mother, your friends.

Nathalie too,

instead of hassling her.

As a doctor, she can understand.

Let her consult

and do house calls alone.

Let her help you.

It's early days.

This will get much tougher.

I don't feel so bad.

Cut it out!

Yes, everything's fine.

I have all the names

and addresses.

Don't worry.

All right.

Yes, I'll call if

there's a problem.

And if I don't know,

I'll call you.

I'm entering Omerville.

I have to go.

You'll call me?

Get in.

Hi, this jerk's got a hook stuck

in his thigh.

Excuse me, I'm looking

for Mrs Caillon's house

at La Fare-Basse.

Mrs Caillon?

Head straight out of the village

and follow the dirt track.

I'll stuff your

beak up your ass!

Sorry.

Say if it hurts.

I'll try to be gentle.

There we are.

This will hurt a bit.

I'll wet it.

Tell me if it hurts, okay.

- Does that hurt?

- No...

That's painful. Be careful.

- I'll be gentle.

- But it's okay.

Sh*t!

If the girl takes your place,

you can take the butcher's.

Shut your mouth.

Where is she?

She's fled already?

She's doing house calls.

On her own?

Who's she's seeing?

My mother.

Sh*t...

21...

21428. That's it.

22075...

22...

How much?

Everything's fine. No worries.

No, it's okay.

Two more and I'll be back.

All right.

I have to go now.

Bye.

Are you hurt?

I never saw him!

I'm a doctor.

I'm a doctor.

Call an ambulance.

- Talk to me, young man.

- I'm okay.

- I'm not hurt.

- Nowhere?

I'm not hurt.

Roll into the safety position.

Don't move.

How do you feel?

- No signal...

- Try over there!

I'm not a grunt, I'm a clown!

Don't try to move.

You came off your bike.

You're in shock.

I'm a doctor, I'll

take care of you.

She thinks I'm a grunt!

What happened?

Mum...

It's okay, I'm a doctor.

He fell off his bike.

An ambulance is coming.

No, leave him. He's my son.

- He's my son.

- It's nothing.

- What?

- Nothing's good.

- Where does it hurt?

- Nowhere!

He's okay.

He was born this way.

- It's okay.

- She thought I was a grunt!

No, She didn't think

you were a grunt.

Well?

Fine.

Fine fine?

Really fine.

No real difficulties?

No. And you?

No worries then?

No.

Yes...

A couple of Maroini's syndromes.

Med school jokes...

Haven't you outgrown them?

Ever read this? Bulgakov's

"A Young Doctor's Notebook".

A present for you.

- A young doctor...

- With a lot to learn?

Exactly.

Thank you.

Do you smell burning?

No.

I must have left

something on the stove.

Dr Delezia...

All right.

On the Magny road?

Absolutely. I'm on my way.

An emergency at the gypsy camp.

You haven't finished eating.

I have.

What?

It's dark there at night.

You thought I'd

let you go alone?

Good evening.

Dr Werner.

Dr Delezia.

It's this way.

It's Mum, she's really not well.

My colleague will see her.

Go on, Delezia. Go on.

She's been in bed for three

days. She's really not well.

She won't eat,

she had a drop of water today.

Good evening, madam.

I'm going to manipulate you.

Where does it hurt?

Here?

Let me see if your neck's stiff.

Any vomiting?

No? No fever either?

No, it doesn't feel like it.

Could I have a teaspoon?

Give me the spoon.

Stick out your tongue...

Thank you.

I'll manipulate you here...

Breathe normally.

Does your arm hurt?

All the way down to the hand?

Grip mine.

All right.

Cervicobrachial pain syndrome.

- Is it serious?

- No, painful, but not serious.

All right.

I'll give her an

anti-inflammatory shot.

- She's scared of shots.

- Yes, shots...

- Let the doctor work.

- Okay.

Go ahead, madam.

It won't hurt.

Keep still, Mum.

Don't move.

Here we go.

That's it, nearly done.

There.

She'll be okay, doctor?

She'll soon feel much better.

- Thank you, doctor.

- You're welcome.

In Lagny.

In Lagny, opposite the cinema.

We'd like to see

you, if possible.

- All of you?

- Yes.

We all wanted to see you.

Really? I'm flattered.

Especially the kids.

They're not well.

It must be a stomach bug

or maybe flu...

- Thank you.

- How's the grandmother?

She's very well.

- Did she sleep well?

- Yes, we're pleased.

A new file

for each patient we just saw?

Yes. Why not?

Ever thought about a computer?

What for?

To save time maybe.

To save time?

Entering data is quicker?

Finding it takes 20 seconds.

- Give me a name at random.

- What?

Any patient's name.

Poinard.

Poinard...

Hold on a second.

We saw him yesterday.

A tougher one now.

The file...

for Mr Bardat.

Bardat...

1, 2, 3...

4, 5, 6...

7, 8, 9, 10, 11...

Bardat!

Great!

Another idea?

The file for...

Nathalie Delezia.

Very funny.

The Board keeps asking

for a medical certificate.

So see a colleague.

I've been too busy.

It's a formality. Just sign it.

I don't do bogus certificates.

You could be hiding an illness.

Come on.

No, really.

- Seriously?

- Yes.

Examine me then.

I'll take your blood

pressure, then.

120170.

Are you on the pill?

Yes.

- Do you smoke?

- Yes.

Any medical history?

No.

Any allergies?

- I undress?

- Yes.

It's all right.

Lift your shirt a bit.

Breathe a little deeper.
