The Death of Mr. Lazarescu Page #5

on this seat, in the back?

- Do you mind?

- You mean on the stretcher?

- Yes.

- Of course, lie down. Stop the car.

Be patient Mr. Lazarescu,

take it easy.

Mr. Lazarescu, we're here now.

Come on, easy, get up.

- Come on pops, give me your hand.

- Watch out.

Can you walk,

or should we use the stretcher?

- Should I bring a wheelchair?

- Give me the bag.

Come on, go get that wheelchair already.

What, does your leg hurt?

- My right kidney hurts.

- Give me your ID card, please.

Come on, help me take him out.

- Come on.

- Easy, easy now.

The leg.

Hold on.

Can you let us pass, please?

Ok miss, drop your panties.

Here you are.

Abdominal colic and cephalgia.

I'd rather think he has a colon tumor.

I palpated his abdomen, and it's hard.

- No joking?

- What should I do with him, doctor?

Put him in my lap.

Take him over there.

Excuse me, doctor...

Why did they bring him here?

Why not to Fundeni Hospital?

Why didn't you take him to Fundeni?

He should be diagnosed by a specialist

I am not qualified to diagnose.

Well I see you were. Didn't you say

something about his colon?

Get undress, please.

Come on, check his blood pressure

Help the gentleman undress.

Is your belly still sore?

Is it sore right now?

Yes.

Flex your leg.

And the other one. Like that.

The belt, head to the left.

Does it hurt here?

It doesn't hurt there. To be honest,

it's my head that's sore now.

Exhale.

You've drunk a fair bit.

Raluca,

write the lady a prescription.

- Doctor, could it be from my colitis?

- I thought I was the doctor here.

Hey, hey, what's this?

Behave, or you'll get me angry.

Take your prescription and go home.

Doctor,

what should we do with this one?

Keep him or send him

to Panduri Hospital?

- Did you give him Papaverine?

- Yes.

- And the ultrasound?

- I'll do it now.

- Get out of my way! How is it?

- He's been drinking.

Ah! This, we don't like.

Have you celebrated something?

Or do you drink

just for the sake of it?

- Is it you that brought him?

- Yes.

Why here and not to Fundeni Hospital?

Say pops,

has a colon specialist seen you?

Doctor,

I had ulcer surgery, 14 years ago.

And why do you drink,

if you had ulcer?

Look at the zipper he got,

but he doesn't care.

- Do you smoke?

- Yes!

Good, keep it up!

Nothing.

Have you ever had a colonoscopy?

I have problems with my stomach,

I have ulcer.

No pops,

you have problems with your head.

- Maybe it's his colon.

- Ouch.

It hurts, doesn't it?

Have you seen the size of his liver?

One day your liver will burst

from the drink. You hear?

And since when do you diagnose?

Do you have a secret method

I'm not aware of?

Are you using bio-energy?

Can you see the Holy-Spirit?

Cat got your tongue?

- I only said it could be the colon.

- Great, now teach us our trade.

Why did you bring him here?

The hallway is full of his kind.

This is how we got in this sh*t,

by minding other people's business.

- Doctor, my head hurts.

- Then why do you drink?

Stop drinking

if you don't want to hurt.

- It's been hurting since this morning.

- Then don't drink in the evening.

- Please don't talk to me like that.

- Be quiet.

- I don't think I've heard you right.

- Please, be quiet.

Have you no shame?

Whom do you think you're talking to?

I'll blow you to bits

along with your ulcer.

You pour the drink down your throat,

and then you come to me,

to get you fixed.

A whole team looks after your ass

and operates your ulcer

and you go home and get wrecked.

Did I cause you this?

This ulcer, did I cause it?

The hospitals are full

of people like you

that soak their brains in alcohol

and batter their wives and kids.

Close that door, will you?

Do you take this for a disco?

What are you doing here?

Why are you barging in?

- Please be still, the exam isn't over.

- Stop talking so much.

- I have never beaten my child.

- Alright, but don't get dressed.

Why don't you stay here?

What now, do I have to send for you?

What's all this fuss about?

If you don't keep quiet

I'll throw you all out.

How long does it take you

for a prescription?

- Don't get me started on you, too.

- Sign here.

I'm sorry, you were busy.

Look what you've brought here.

Why did you get dressed? Are you cold?

Lie down over there, I'm not over.

And you're mocking

the other patients as well

those with serious problems,

like that one.

Silvia, give him glucose.

Did you give him anything?

- I gave him the same, plus a painkiller.

- Put an analgesic and some vitamins too.

Make space. Move over.

- What is it?

- Two seriously injured.

Patient, 20 years, craniocerebral

injury. Blood pressure 14 over 9.

Take a look, doctor.

Silvia, call for dr. Kelemen

and dr. Tutui. And quick.

What's your name?

Can you speak?

- How is he?

- Left anisocoria.

Call the tomograph.

- Where did this tragedy happen?

- You mean those? At Saftica.

I think there are at least 20 dead.

- I have to go. Good evening, madam.

- Bye.

Move.

How are you feeling?

Does your head still hurt?

Stay still, don't move.

- Doctor, my head hurts.

- Very well, it means you have one.

Did you take a good look at those

who came? Those are emergencies.

- Doctor, would you come for a minute?

- Wait a second, dear.

Did you throw up blood?

Do you have melena?

- No, I have diarrhea.

- I didn't ask you that.

Raise your hands.

Bullshit, you're ok. Stop drinking.

You don't give a sh*t about the others.

And I'm supposed to take care of you.

Where's that record?

Give it to me.

It's your duty,

that's why you're paid.

What? My duty? Did I put

the bottle in your hand, you pig?

Did I take you drinking?

- Who told you that we are well paid?

- Why did they bring you on the stretcher?

Why, if you can use your own legs?

Stand up and walk if you can.

I don't need your help.

I can make it alone.

- Look at him.

- Easy, Mr. Lazarescu.

And you were lecturing us.

See what alcohol made of you?

- Are you hurt, Mr. Lazarescu?

- Girl, call someone to take him away.

Costica!

You'd better get dressed.

- Get him out of my sight.

- Doctor?

There's nothing wrong

on the ultrasound.

Some kidney sand,

but within normal values.

- Did you write his prescription?

- Yes,

Then send him home,

what are you waiting for?

His liver

is as big as the Parliament House,

you should take him

to Fundeni Hospital.

I don't think it's hepatitis.

No, you better take him to Floreasca

Hospital or Universitar Hospital.

He needs a liver CT scan.

I would have kept him here,

but you see how crowded it is.

Hurry up with the chair.

Easy.

- You need help?

- No, it's ok. Easy.

Are you comfortable?

Stay there.

Watch your head,

I'm closing the stall.

So?

So we took out those two,

but they are working hard over there.

I don't think there's anyone else left

to rescue in that wreckage.

And they've blocked the road, too.

Didn't you say

they crashed at the exit for Snagov?

No bro, it happened

on the bridge at Saftica.
