Robodoc Page #7

Synopsis: Plagued by uninsured patients, greedy insurance companies, heartless health care conglomerates, and stressed out doctors, the health care delivery system is on the verge of a total breakdown - and Jake Gorman couldn't be happier. The egomaniacal medical malpractice attorney has it all. His face adorns billboards, his ads run constantly on TV and radio, while his army of informants tip him off to profitable new cases. Suing doctors has made Jake a famous and very wealthy man. Jake never met a doctor he couldn't sue, until now. As a cost cutting measure at its hospitals, R.I.P Healthcare has developed the perfect doctor. MD 63 (a.k.a. Robo-Doc) is a robotic doctor whose data bank contains all the medical knowledge in the world, and therefore Robo-Doc CAN'T make a mistake. Robo-Doc was designed to save both money and lives. Success would bring flawless, affordable health care to all and spell ruin for Jake Gorman.

The only thing that's gonna save

your oily ass now

is a phone call from the governor.

Oh, hold on a second.

Let me take this call.

Hello, Big Bernie's Auto...

It's the governor!

Yes, sir, Mr. Governor.

Big Bernie here.

No, sir, you're right on time.

We hadn't even started yet.

Yes, sir, I'll take care of it personally.

You bet, sir. Thanks for calling.

Hey, Mike, don't crush that car yet.

The governor wants the hood off of it.

Come on!

Let's get a move on.

Stop! The kids can see!

They can see!

That's ridiculous.

These kids can't see.

Their optic nerves were cut.

- Hey, how'd you know...

- I didn't.

- You did it.

- No, I didn't.

- You altered the article.

- Never!

I did not cut their optic nerves.

I may be a robot,

but I am not stupid.

The blindness was temporary

from normal swelling

after the operation.

You're all lying!

This is just a desperate last-minute stunt.

These kids can't see.

It'll cost me too much money.

Sweet, unfortunate, blind little boy,

if you can see my face,

what do I look like?

A rat bastard.

Doctor, you're under arrest

for falsifying a medical journal...

I did not.

...endangering

the eyesight of little children,

and product tampering.

Product tampering?

Take him away.

RoboDoc, in light of this new evidence,

I hereby exonerate you of any wrongdoing.

You're a free man... er, robot.

Whatever you are, you're free.

Release the prisoner.

Oh, RoboDoc,

I knew you were innocent all along.

I'm so happy to have you back.

So what do you think now?

I think I need to make

an emergency phone call

to the Centers for Disease Control.

Excuse me.

Your cat scan looks perfectly

normal, Mr. Gorman,

but we don't like to take any chances,

so we will be removing

the top of your head.

Just to go in and take a look

around, to be sure.

No! No!

No!

Yes, yes, yes.

Fortunately, we do have the finest brain

surgeon in town to do the operation.

I believe you've meet Dr. Sosumi.

Mr. Gorman not going to be able

to sue any more doctors.

He going to have to find new line of work.

Now say ah.
