"Doctors, are any of you still in the hospital--or do I have to call the country club and have them page you there?"

"The patient's guardian is feeling better again this morning, but he's still a little unsteady on his feet. Anyway, he said to tell you that he forgot one other thing from his adventures 'down under' yesterday..."

"The blue wire--the one you all seem to think might have had power--has what appears to be a plastic splice connector attached to it. But no other wires attached to that. So it seems as though somebody stuck a splice connector on for no good reason whatsoever...sort of the same situation we have here at the hospital from time to time..."

"The patient's guardian is really stumped now, because he tried to trace the wires and they appear to go....nowhere. There's no sign of them entering or leaving the engine compartment...no sign of them inside the console, behind the radio...and no sign of them on the patient's left side either. 'Nuttin' . Nada. El zipperino', is how the patient's guardian put it."

"So, doctors, unfortunately it appears you'll have to give up your Columbus Day poker game...tonight's annual visit to Club Wicked, with special appearance scheduled by the Kittycat Dolls...tomorrow's golf marathon...and tomorrow evening's traditional bar-b-que at Administrator Wartell's beach house...sorry about that."

"Oh, and one last item: first year resident Spielman, we'll need you in the waiting room, stat. The patient's guardian just stumbled into the coffee urn, and the floor's covered in fresh-brewed now...the maintenance crew is off for the weekend, but crew chief Jose called in and said 'will be good trainin' 'sperience for doctor to have...he know where mop and pail are..."

Snip-snip the worms, and have Nurse Wretched close with sutures...now, leave us be...I have a private conference in the OB/GYN observation room with Nurse Marylin ...Good Day to you........I said, "GOOD DAY!"  

I miss spoke about the malpractice suit against Dr. Adams, he does have it in control, I now understand the shaking in his hands....Doctor Adams, do they let first year resident's in the OB/GYN observation room? Is candystriper Hilton in there?

"Well, with all you doctors out on your 'rounds'--that's as in, 'we're busy buying rounds for each other at the country club'...the patient's guardian has checked his vehicle out of the hospital..."

"I think he was pretty well freaked by your unanimous conclusion that 'amputation' was the only route, because the last I saw of him he was muttering that he was 'going to take her to the Circuit City Clinic for a second opinion'..."

"I don't think it helped that Chaplain Tuxblacray showed up here either--sort of sent the wrong message, if you get my drift..."

"So, I guess that wraps up this chapter of "As The Wheel Turns"...

THANKS TO ONE AND ALL...A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR SUCH A TERRIFIC CAST OF GOOD SPORTS...AND MUCH APPRECIATION FOR NOT ONLY THE WIT, BUT THE WISDOM, OF ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED...AND THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU READERS 'PATIENT' ENOUGH TO PLOW THROUGH THIS SILLY (but also serious) SERIAL SAGA...

A great cast;

Dammit!!! I fergot to T-VO the last episode!!!! What the heck happened? Who shot J.R.? Did Misery wind up with Winthorp, or Ian?

Perhaps I should not be straight now, but after seeing the most recent x-rays I have a conclusion. kstyer2006-10-09 19:34:07
