1:25:01
Now, then.
Tell me what worries you.
1:25:06
They... they say
they want to operate on me.
1:25:10
Do they?
1:25:12
Yes. I'm scared.
1:25:15
Well, there's really no need to be,
you know.
1:25:18
Everyone here's very kind
and understanding.
1:25:23
Why don't you tell me all about it?
1:25:27
Well, it started
about five years ago,
1:25:30
just after my husband died.
1:25:32
- I'll cut through Casualty.
- Good night.
1:25:35
By the way, that chap Bingham,
what do you think of him?
1:25:39
- He's a very clever chap.
- Yes, I suppose he is.
1:25:42
But I'm inclined to wonder
whether he's in charge or I am.
1:25:46
- Good night, George.
- Good night, sir.
1:25:50
I see what's worrying you,
and I understand.
1:25:53
- Who's doing the operation?
- Sir Lancelot Spratt.
1:25:57
- Sir Lancelot?
- Do you know him?
1:25:59
- Yes, very well.
- What's he like?
1:26:01
You're very lucky. He's one
of the best surgeons in the country.
1:26:05
We're very proud of him here.
Mind you, he's a bit of a bear.
1:26:09
He growls a bit but
you mustn't take any notice of that.
1:26:13
You couldn't be in more secure hands.
1:26:15
0h, that does make me feel better.
1:26:19
- But...
- But what?
1:26:23
Well, there is another thing...
1:26:26
My sister, you see.
She had an operation.
1:26:30
All the doctors said it was going
to be all right but it wasn't.
1:26:34
- She was ill long after.
- Complications can arise sometimes,
1:26:38
things that no one can foresee.
1:26:40
- Have you ever made a mistake?
- Who me? 0h, Lord, yes.
1:26:44
There was chap last night.
Came in just like you, a bit late.
1:26:48
Said he was bringing up
nuts and bolts.
1:26:52
He was a crank. I got bawled out
but you see, he might've been right.
1:26:57
He might have been ill.
I couldn't take a chance.
