:17:01
- This time, now?
- Yes.
:17:04
About four months ago, I felt a pain
in my stomach, in my abdomen...
:17:09
like a cramp, but not the same.
:17:11
- How did it feel?
- Like a cramp.
:17:13
- But not the same?
- Duller and stronger, I can't describe it.
:17:17
- What happened next?
- I don't know...
:17:20
I started noticing my body, little things.
I would be teaching and feel a sharp pain.
:17:24
What kind of pain?
:17:25
Sharp...
:17:27
and sudden.
:17:29
Then it would go away,
or, I would be tired...
:17:32
Exhausted. I was working
on a major project...
:17:34
the article on John Donne...
:17:36
for the Oxford Encyclopedia
of English Literature.
:17:38
It was a great honor,
but I had a very strict deadline.
:17:41
- Were you under stress?
- It wasn't much more stress than usual...
:17:45
I just couldn't withstand it this time.
:17:47
So...
:17:49
I went to see Dr. Chin, my gynecologist,
after I'd turned in the article.
:17:53
She examined me,
sent me to Jefferson, the internist...
:17:56
who sent me to Kelekian
because he thought I might have a tumor.
:18:01
- And that's it.
- Till now.
:18:04
That's very interesting.
:18:07
I guess we'll start the exam.
:18:10
Why don't you just sort of lie back
and relax.
:18:16
Won't take a minute.
:18:26
Let me get this sheet.
:18:29
Here.
:18:31
Okay.
:18:35
Yeah, just...
:18:42
Feet in the stirrups here.
:18:45
Okay.
:18:51
Okay.
:18:55
Could you just... Yeah.
:18:58
There. Okay.
