:36:03
Was this just another routine checkup?
:36:05
When you have a heart pacemaker,
no visit is routine.
:36:09
- You can roll down your sleeve.
- Oh, yeah. What I mean is,
:36:12
was this appointment any more
or less important than the others?
:36:16
Well, if Beau Williamson doesn't
get to me, or any other specialist,
:36:21
he's running a grave risk with his health.
:36:24
Well, why is that?
:36:31
This is a pacemaker.
:36:33
- You mean it's that big?
- It runs on miniature energy cells.
:36:37
- That's sort of like an electric watch.
- Exactly.
:36:39
It regulates a heart that can't keep
a steady beat.
:36:42
Every year, these energy cells
have to be replaced
:36:46
or the pacemaker becomes erratic,
causing the heart to malfunction.
:36:50
- In other words, you could die.
- Put simply, yes.
:36:53
- Is this a big operation?
- No, but it is a surgical procedure.
:36:57
Could a doctor other than you perform it?
:36:59
Naturally.
But knowing Beau Williamson,
:37:02
I doubt he'd put himself in the hands
of a stranger, no matter how competent.
:37:07
I see. All right, Doc.
:37:09
I wanna thank you very much
for the time and for the checkup.
:37:13
Well, it wasn't much of a checkup.
:37:15
If you locate Mr Williamson,
tell him to contact me.
:37:19
- I'll do that.
- Are you looking for something?
:37:21
- Do you have a lighter?
- You won't find one here.
:37:24
And let me give you some free medical
advice. Stop smoking those things.
:37:29
- I've been trying.
- Trying isn't good enough.
:37:31
Remember, I deal in pacemakers.
