These great hospital complexes
are the cathedrals of our age.
1:35:05
Billions of dollars,
thousands of beds...
1:35:09
...a whole nation of sick people
turning to us for help.
1:35:19
You ought to see somebody.
1:35:21
They're children, Sue.
1:35:24
They trust us.
1:35:27
We can't tell them everything.
1:35:29
Our job is to make things easier
for them. l'm sure you agree.
1:35:35
You're killing people.

We can't wait around forever.
1:36:24
lf society won't decide,
we'll decide.
1:36:26
We'll make the hard decisions.

l've examined her.
She requires immediate surgery.
1:36:46
Okay, honey, now just sit up.
1:36:48
Come on, that's it.
That's good.
1:36:52

1:36:56
...the drug.
1:36:59
Doctors make the worst patients.
