:26:00
- All right, you're not a doctor.
- I can't be sure.
:26:03
I mean, I am sure,
and I don't know what to do about it.
:26:08
- It's appendicitis, isn't it?
- Yes.
:26:10
- He has to have an operation right away.
- Can you do it?
:26:13
- Do what?
- Operate on him.
:26:14
- I don't know. I never tried.
- I can't help it. Do you know how?
:26:18
- I've seen a few.
- Remember what you saw?
:26:20
- Not enough.
- Got a book?
:26:22
- The Hospital Corps handbook.
- And a book on anatomy?
:26:25
I can't guarantee anything.
What if I killed him?
:26:28
What are his chances
if you don't operate?
:26:32
He hasn't a prayer. He'll die.
:26:36
Okay, then we operate.
:26:46
- How do you feel, son?
- Kind of sick.
:26:50
- I'm sorry, sir, l...
- Don't be.
:26:53
You know what you've got?
Acute appendicitis.
:26:56
- Don't worry about me, sir.
- Pills, give it to him straight.
:27:03
Listen, kid.
I'm just a pharmacist's mate.
:27:06
I'm all right on vitamins, sun lamps and
pills, but operations are out of my line.
:27:11
You need an operation, bad.
:27:14
You'll be dead in a couple of days
if you don't have it right away.
:27:17
I trust you, Pills.
:27:20
You know what you're saying?
I can't promise you anything.
:27:23
Sure, I know.
:27:26
- When do we get underway?
- You got plenty of what it takes, kid.
:27:30
You rest easy.
:27:36
I appreciate all you're doing, sir.
:27:39
I guess you've got plenty worries
of your own.
:27:42
We'll do the best we can for you, son.
:27:45
So I need muscle retractors, scalpels
and clamps.
:27:50
- Let's see those pictures.
- I can rig a landing light for you.
:27:54
- That's good.
- These knives are of the finest steel.
:27:57
If we could just get someone
to grind them down into scalpels.
