Speaker 5: And I think she is here and with time, a
lot of time. Yes, I think she's got a good chance.
Speaker 4: Can you see her now just for a minute, and.
Speaker 5: Don't expect too much. She's she's been through a lot,
and don't talk to her. Just just stand by there
and here, horright doctor, Oh say doc, yes, suh, Doc,
I wasn't no help to you, I guess, Doc.
Speaker 4: I was afraid.
Speaker 5: Oh I know he fear does terrible things to a man.
Speaker 4: But now I I wanna think, Oh, it's.
Speaker 5: Alright, an uh you going up there and you get
up there and see.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 2: Here, Doc sad, I'm exactly you can use some doctor
in herself.
Speaker 3: Man. Eh, yes, yes, I was.
Speaker 5: That was a hard thing. It's a very hard thing,
except for kidding. You didn't have much help, as you
you know, not much, just just you and Chester and
and I think nobody was making it easy for you.
I was for certain most of 'em didn't know anybody.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: That's no help, No, it isn't. And I just wish
we had some kind of operation that would take care
of it. What do you mean, doctor, I mean some
kind of an operation that would cut out the fear
and the ignorance and the superstition, so that the doctor
wouldn't be fighting two battles whenever he tries to save
a life.
Speaker 2: H had to be some knife that cut all that
out of a person.
Speaker 5: This man, It would.
Speaker 8: Sure would.
Speaker 5: But it's one knife for that, I wouldn't mind using.
