Edward Prime Gloria Talbot And now your host for Bill Lun Good evening Trapped in a crossfire of human emotion As a hospital chief surgeon fights his own conscience to decide the fate of two men He must weigh the possible sacrifice of one life for another Drawing on years of experience he defies the pressures of time and personal fear to face one crucial moment of judgment Now on climax four hours in whites there's another lab report that tests on 30 Otherwise all is quiet on the western front Oh my feet are killing me Oh I know that if I sat down relax Did you check 30 Yeah that's not true That was good Well at least his twin brother is going to be all right There's any word yet on how Dr Whitaker is doing I don't think he's out of the operating room yet If he loses this one Clever I'm sorry I might as well answer that he won't give up evening doctor How are the lower extremities operative Evening doctor Hello N oh really Doctor You know the rules If you won't tell neither will I conduct unbecoming the chief of surgery I was overwhelmed Besides that's the rule that applies to other doctors and nurses And what makes you an exception doctor Because I'm married to the night supervisor of nurses And I must say you have very good faith Good evening doctor Good evening doctor Good evening Well I'm sure I'm looking forward to the day when you and I can temporarily desert the distress for a weekend of sun and surf and sand Well we didn't make it last weekend or the weekend before besides aren't you forgetting One little chore it spoils this weekend Fool that I am dreaming of weekends Ok Next week Absolutely Next week Sure Here additional tests on Henry Reeves What's the score The artificial kidney you ordered from San Francisco should be here any time now tough isn't it when there's not much any of us can do But wait I'll look in on Hank and there you are Ok Nature and our sordid secrets We poke here we poke there baffled and stumped by cells and corpus cells viruses and fungi You better get down to Dr Whitaker merge Just called Last time I lost a patient I disappeared for two days Three three spread the word I had pneumonia It happens to all of us Jerry to the best of us Well I'm not the best Obviously Put yourself together Jimmy a lot of eyes and ears in this hospital I should have been an army cook I know what you can do I picked you I'd admit the bad judgment if I thought you were any good But you're a good doctor A darn good one last two times up to bat I struck out that hurts the home team I accept your sensitivity but not the defeat Don't leave this house I told you the last shut up I know what you can do I know how you feel I've got that kidney case upstairs and I still don't know how it'll go and I may need you So just remember when I think you're over your head I'll boot you out I won't wait for the directors You got that Stay put and don't leave till I check you out Hello Johnny How do you feel Pretty good pretty good Steady You go for a motorcycle ride and don't try it right away huh A ton of it was dumped on your brother Boy when I think all that happened Hank and I getting on that wet pavement hitting that embankment You know the next thing I knew I woke up here just the laceration of the scalp You were lucky I mean my brother wasn't so lucky How is he There's no change Doctor It's been three days He's still in shock His blood pressure is dangerously low What's gonna happen I don't know doctor All I want to find out is I don't know doctor He's my brother I don't know I'm sorry Tony I know what you want me to say I wish I could I wish I could I get thrown 30 ft in the air and wind up with 16 stitches in my head And my oh I wish I hadn't seen my girl I shouldn't have sent her that telegram Can I make a long distance phone call Sure Who is she Her name's Susan She goes to a college downstate I do want to tell her about the action of someone else you can make it But uh don't worry too much about Hank We're flying in an artificial kidney from San Francisco that help him first Tony You must understand what an artificial kidney is It's a machine set up outside the body to function for the kidney but it's not a substitute and it's temporary temporary Well ordinarily it might work long enough to enable the patient to rally and the damaged kidney to function again Is that the case with Hank Well that is he Tony No wait a minute Is my brother dying one kidney out the other suspect and still hemorrhaging his condition is a deteriorating One call your girl and then get some rest Hey who's watching the store Robert He's pretty good Cute too So you and your window shopping I get confidential reports on the poker dude in this hospital I have the elevator up there What about Jerry He took it pretty hard I got a little tough I'm afraid Don't bet you did it You know sometimes I not only want to dig my toes in the sand but also my head We'll make it yet Dennis some weekend soon Yeah We're gonna tie up all the loose ends and hide far away from a telephone and emergencies Need to suit your nurse You're searching me fine Oh you do need a rest You know I figured it out It's been over three months since we had a weekend together Three months next week Mama Mia next week I'm setting my mind on it right this minute Sullivan immediately immediately through these boxes past the most beautiful weekends in the world Dr Sullivan sevenths immediately Dr Sullivan seventh floor Please immediately doctor Berman call amit Doctor Berman call admit him where the devil is Sullivan He's in charge here right here Dr Skinner Look at this You know that intravenous biography indicates that I can read the other kidneys Shot Henry Reeves is losing blood faster than we can give it to him I'm afraid it's hopeless What's the latest on that kidney from San Francisco I know not yet but what are they doing Sending it by Oxcart So there's a rainstorm in San Francisco that's happened before get him on the phone for me and then get in touch with Portland Denver and Los Angeles to cover go girl Go Dr Skinner We may have to transplant that's out of the question We discussed the probability of it with the supervisor with Berman the Sanders and Whitaker When the boys were first admitted it's academic now Doctor Tony and Hank Reeves are identical twins Impossible What about his cardiac arrest It may never happen again Dr Tony reeves' heart stopped during the operation only for a few seconds It's basically sound perhaps an anesthesia reaction Uh we won't use the same anesthetic again No Tony Reeves is fully recovered We won't endanger him again Dr Sullivan Yes ma'am Oh I see Well try it again in a half hour and make those other calls Thanks ma we have to wait until the ceiling lifts for the plane to take off I'm sorry Doctor Sullivan Hey what And the boy's father's here and he is raising cane And skinner said the boy's condition was absolutely not and skinner told him that the boy's condition is impossible I know I thought you'd won No Betty Thanks lover I gotta keep the old grapevine oil Yeah My medical I'll connect you Dr Sullivan don't butter me Doctor Dr Skinner Just Tony I know you'll just down for two days I've been coming around Tony's fine but you won't let me see Henry It was hopeless for him from the start wasn't it Look we're doing everything possible Pussyfooting At least skinner came right out and talk to me Nice condition is an extremely delicate one If he loses that second kidney Obviously he cannot survive and we're waiting for an artificial kidney but that's only stop cat and merely postpones the inevitable inevitable There you are there is a slight chance that we can do something in the past few years There have been kidney transplants made from one twin to another but they must be identical twins from the same exo like your boys You mean let me get this straight back You can take a kidney from Tony and give it to Henry to save Henry's life That's the general idea Why didn't Dr skinner say that he didn't want to offer any false hopes and neither do I There are many factors to go into to set the stage for such an operation And even if the operation goes well the final results won't be known until the recipient lives out as normal span Well who cares what happens later I want him to live Now I know Tony will help his brother read I didn't quite mean to get into this aspect of life Did you see there's a complication while Tony was under anesthesia His heart stopped cardiac arrest We call it it could happen again You mean he was technically dead for 10 seconds It's one of those things we just don't understand don't understand it at all And even though the operation goes well he he might not live he might you think it couldn't happen again But in case he tries to help his brother it might that's the risk And see I see Let me get the picture as things are Now Henry even with an artificial kidney can live which days and if you transplant it could take both would survive then again it might not take and they'd be just Tony or you could lose both boys Kidney transplants are so new generally And in this case so tick specifically that any number of doctors can be at variance as to what to do Doctor I'm ex army master sergeant I know how hard it is to make a decision But since my retirement I've done well in real estate And if it's a question of money it isn't and do what you have to do You misunderstand reeve that logically we have to protect Tony and that means that Hank I have faith in you Doctor Of course you have faith in me now But how would you feel And how would I feel if I came out of surgery walked into this room and said Reeves both boys are dead Do what you have to do Doctor the plane left San Francisco 15 minutes ago Good Say Mert The machine transfers at Portland Maybe you better check the weather there Yes because it might be raining in Portland too Ok A fight Oh my husband and doctor Skinner Oh really Mert You sit there in your little cubby and you get more poop quicker than the up the A P and the international news service all put together you know the limit Right I uh tried to call Susan school said she left this morning this morning on an emergency That's me Have you seen your father Yeah he told me what he said about the operation He's pretty busted up Look Doctor Hank and I were never too close to him and being on duty and all we just never saw much of him until he got out of the army You tried to make it up to us He bought us that motorcycle Yeah My kidneys are all right Aren't they fine The operation can be done It's been done Yes And it may be the only way to saving Right Tony Let me closely Hm Yes it may very well be the only way But one kidney is like having one lung It makes a change in the way a man must live a more sheltered existence and a mishap to the remaining organ a stone I understand that there's a risk very much So even if the operation goes well it's still look doctor let's chance it Let's talk about it Doctor He's my brother He'd do the same for me Tony Don't give me brotherly love Self preservation is a basic instinct and a completely worthy one Doctor We're twins I don't want a decision now because actually you shouldn't have to make one Why not Didn't your father tell you about the cardiac arrest No Yes While you were under anesthesia your heart stopped beating Technically you were dead for trouble I was a four letter man It's just one of those things but don't be alarmed with no ill effects Your heart as sound as a chile And I believe it was an anesthesia reaction Sort of like an allergy to any anesthesia Possibly In other words it could happen again Well uh whatever you say doctor I'll step in again Ok Garvan report to Obie please Dr Garvan report to Hayes raining all along the coast It would have been a wet weekend wet and dry It would have been ours Excuse me I'm Susan Andrews my fiance Anthony He tried to call you just a little while ago Is he All right He's fine M Anders Dr Sullivan's in charge of his case How are you doing Room 7 29 right down the hall Thank you Oh man Hello Susan Just some fancy hamster and that's all Oh see that now All the way on the train I kept thinking I'm so glad you're all right Susan Hank might be dying Oh no Well what's wrong with you Crushed kidneys One is out and the other one And can't they do anything Yeah there's something I can do Only me Give him one of mine David Well you know it you don't miss it It's not like losing an arm or a leg No And there's something else you know when they were stitching me up my heart stopped Oh just just for a second Could it happen again No No Susan we're gonna get married As soon as I get out of here we're gonna get married I don't I don't please You my son I I know it's tough but you want me to help him don't you Don't you With the idea of you dying Susan he's my brother and the only way he can be saved and you might die Susan help me please I want to I want to say something Susan just to say something Susan Susan See Susan the court didn't go well sir Could you talk to me please Oh wow How did everything we'll be in the cafeteria Doctor Your best girl was here huh No it's not easy to take I took it Believe me Tony Once people get over the shock of bad news I find they're pretty basic in understanding Don't stop So doctor if she's everything you've known and loved her for she'll come around I don't want pity I've got enough for myself Ok Doctor Yes And do it do it for my brother You know the risk of yourself doesn't matter Yes it does You made the gesture because you thought it was expected of you But when I told you about your heart and said not to make a quick decision You didn't bowl me over with one because you were scared Don't lecture me Please just do it Is this your way of getting back at your girls please Doctor just do it Don't go away No no I like it here Sure do all the way to the hospital I kept saying no matter what it is how long it takes it's with Tony and he's alive and that's all that matters Thank Is that all that makes is it isn't it It's bad enough to give up a kidney but to risk his life Well you should have considered me but he was its for his brother his twin If Tony didn't help and Hank died that could come between you the rest of your lives What would you do Susan If you and Tony were already married and this happened would you just walk out on him I don't think you would I have to get back Look don't worry about it too much The doctors will do the right thing They're very good Why don't you go to the waiting room and talk to the boy's father It might help you to sort out your thoughts if you want me I'll be upstairs All right like Dr Sullivan I've got Portland on the line and doctor I'm going to listen in because I thought the game was going to be called on a count of rain Go ahead please If the weather's not bad Don't wait it I'll get it on a truck right away Yes I'm sorry too I hope so Thank you Well it's on the way shall I notify Dr Skin And by this time Mertz got it all over the hospital Betty there's only one way to save Hake Reeves transplant Now look once the machine arrives only postpones the inevitable and make him a vegetable That's all Dennis don't do that Tony Reeves is willing All right Tony Reeves is willing Considering his cardiac arrest you had no right to put it to it Hank's blood pressure practically unobtainable He's dying before our eyes Only 21 and every minute that goes by Dennis I know you want to help at the rate He's losing blood He'll be dead before the machine gets here Call a supervisor Call him doctor Ken please Dr Skinner is sure to never mind him Lab Steve Sullivan I want another quick check on heart blood and kidneys that works on Tony Reeves and I want a quick job but darn quick one So I'll hop on it Will you Doctor Fin Canon is on his way home I left a message for him to return as soon as possible All right let's get prepared Yes Doctor If you were impulsive it's understandable Do you want to change your mind No there'll be tests and papers to sign and ready to go in an hour Ok And you're back to your room Oh Jane Sullivan's gonna transplant from one twin to the other Hold on I got another call Yakima Medical No I'll connect you with maternity Aggie He is going to transplant You know skinner doesn't know yet But when he does hold on I got another call Yakimo And that's it If you have any second thought on the matter let's have it Now whatever you say doctor don't hedge don't abdicate your parental responsibility I've laid out the risk I've got to have your backing Yes All right These papers to sign then we're ready to go How long will it take At least four hours Why don't you go home You could use some rest No I'll wait Good luck Are you as Berman and Dean They're right here and available And Jerry what are you up to now Sullivan I've just come from the lab and found out you're running test All right doctor Alright Nice me young man You don't consult with me You act unilaterally I anticipated your objection doctor and with all due respect to the validity of what you have to say I believe I'm acting in the best interests We have rules and regulations out there Policy quality You're a physician not a savior What kind of a shell game are you playing with these boys' lives Are you accusing me You want to kill Tony Reeves No I don't want to kill Tony Reeves I want to save Hank Reeves and risk losing them both I'm shocked deeply shocked that any responsible surgeon Look skinner Dr Skinner Dr Skinner I have the boy's permission I have the father's permission Neither of them are in a position to assess or understand what's involved Did you point out the terrible risk right down the line to both of them Well I know it's only temporary but the artificial kidney will be here by midnight Dr Skinner we have to take out the second kidney and then set up the machine that's one operation Then if the machine does allow him to rally we have to have a second operation to trans spread his brother's kidney to him Now I propose to eliminate the first get to the second because I'm convinced the boy's body cannot stand the shock of two surgeries We argue the same point Doctor I am reconciled to Henry reeves' condition but his brother is not to be exposed to death There's no precedent Then let's make one There can't be a second time unless it's a first Dr Sullivan we don't seem to agree on very much around here And though I'd never accuse you of ethical practice you're darn right You I'm not unmindful doctor that in the past year there's been considerable publicity on kidney transplants If you mean great strides that are made in that direction Yes I mean that if you go against all medical practice and somehow pull it off you'll grab a lot of newspapers face of all our lovely I forbid the operation as assistant administrative head of this hospital I expressly forbid it Oh no you don't You know Darn Well that as chief of surgery I will proceed Well you've never had a show down Dr Sullivan I'm sorry it's come to that Apparently this is a matter for the supervisor I'll contact Dr Ken at once He's being contacted Now doctor I see your goat Did you hear of all a while Yes I heard And you're both will he resents you according to the grapevine you may be Fin Cannon's successor and it just doesn't set well with his 10 year seniority here That decision is not mine It's Fin Cannon's where you can hardly expect skinner to take out his frustrations on Fin Cannon Tony Reeves has agreed not so much for his brother but because Susan turned him down Dennis If we could just get the kids together again let them talk it out They'd probably arrive at the same conclusion But it would fortify Tony and reinforce your position You're on skinner's side huh Oh Dennis Dennis It isn't a matter of being on anyone's side There are good intentions on both sides Suppose it were the other way around and skinner were chief of surgery You would insist on all factors being in order Betty If I don't go according to the book it's because I believe it's there to guide not constrict play It safe doctor Don't stick your neck out So doctor the rules are protect your doctor Let Susan talk to Tony No no Both boys should die That's enough Betty What if Bin Canon orders you not to perceive then when Hank Reeves dies and he will I won't sign his death certificate Doctor Whitaker please report to surgery Dr Whitaker Please report to surgery Yes ma'am All right I'll tell him Thank you Dr Whitaker Please report to surgery Doctor Whittaker Please report to surgery No Whitaker yet Huh Berman and his hand as a respondent but not by him A dentist Uh Doctor Cannon's house called he'll be here in about 15 minutes Well see in surgery nurse surgery Doctor Doctor Whitaker please report to surgery doctor please Yeah he's in there You're being paid doctor I know it might be a matter of life and death What I'm afraid of You could be suspended for this If you're taking the bull by the horns it'd be the best thing for the hospital for the medical profession for humanity I'm gonna need you in surgery A double operation kidney transplant I want you down there in exactly 10 minutes You got that for Pete's sakes Dennis I failed Can't you get that through your head I got it through mine this time No Pretends about sickness are disappearing You can't coddle me or cover up for me anymore School chum you're my assistant chief of surgery and I'm a butcher I got enough to think about without propping you up My head is way out on a chopping block So hear this you show up strong and steady because if you let me down I'll nail you brother I'll nail you so tight that you'll have to get aspirin at the corner Drugstore with a prescription Now that's plain enough A fish on your feet I said 10 minutes Dr Whitaker Brave thing Tony's doing You don't like me Susan You don't like me I felt it often enough I admit I wasn't happy about your engagement Not because I don't like you I was jealous of you because you're taking one of my boys away Kind of silly now looking back but I was away so much of the time in the army missed her growing up after my wife died I guess I felt guilty that so much of the burden had been hers I wanted to be close to them They're only 21 I've only known them for such a short time I tried to make it up I bought them a motorcycle in that lousy motorcycle doctor Everything's in order We'll operate as soon as the supervisor gets here and we'll get back to you both as soon as possible Could I see him I mean just for a minute he's in the operating room but he doesn't know how I feel I mean how I really feel I love him It's all right I want him to know I hope that he will miss Dr Sullivan Please report to surgery Excuse me Dr Sullivan please report to surgery but he may never know Doctor Whittaker Please report to surgery Doctor Whittaker Please report to surgery I won't refute anything Skinner may have told you doctor Fincannon but urgency dictates procedure I hope the results will be satisfactory That's all I can say Dennis a right thinking surgeon doctor don't interrupt I've discussed the matter with skinner and with the others Roman sides with him to sent us with you No skinner isn't wrong but neither am I Dennis I'll ask one question one and I want an honest answer If you were in Tony Reeves place would you transplant Dennis I I've been behind this desk a long time Steering a middle course between young Turks like yourself and all wars is like skinner I can't get personally involved in any case It isn't good policy but you are the chief of surgery and any previous instructions in my opinion have been canceled out by emergency conditions Good luck Dennis Thank you doctor Hi Really Patient's ready Doctor watch the heart closely Ready Patient is ready I tanked up the pulse of blood pressure The heart stopped beating I think you ought to open the chest We'll wait eight seconds Go on tool Three four five six I got the heart beating again I get a normal pulse and a good blood pressure You can go ahead now Thank you everybody Yeah thanks Dennis It's a good job Jerry Darn Good job I acted like a fool man I'm beat Ok And how nice work doctor Thank you Nurse You're a stubborn man You're lovely wife Let's get cleaned down Wow Stop drinking Maybe it's gonna be a nice weekend after all Don't start that again Then I know But I just like to needle myself man I'm beat Beast beast Dennis about skinner He wasn't wrong I know But Fin Cannon backing you up You know what that means What does that mean The heir apparent becomes more apparent No buddy I found out something tonight I don't want to be an administrator Not yet Anyway you have to have a certain coolness of perception for that job and I get too involved I have a lung on the floor and I'm gonna stay there for a while anyway I'll have a talk with skinner in the morning Don't run off with any interns till I get back It took five minutes Go in alone You belong with Tony I'll be in with Hank and I'm here I never left and never leave you with I love you Well and I got my second win Dennis Would you really like to go away and dig your toes and stuff That's what I like about my wife She's a great kid Well we can and we're leaving right now We are going down to the children's ward into the playroom take off our shoes and dig our toes in the sandbox in the sandbox Love this woman Gilmore
