I suppose you're familiar with the existence 32 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.039 of that tackle of insurance policy which protects doctors against 33 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.360 charges of malpractice. 34 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:13.159 I've heard of them. 35 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.759 Well, we had the rare misfortune of issuing such a 36 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.879 policy to this this quack sch Medlick. 37 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:20.680 Well, what do you want me to do?

Now, 40 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.919 this is serious. The policy we issued the doctor Schmidlick 41 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.800 only covers him up to the extent of what is 42 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.039 construed as accidental malpractice. If we can prove criminal malpractice, 43 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:37.599 we can cancel this chunital's policy. 44 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.560 Do you have a good reason to think it's criminal 45 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.639 or are you just toying with happy thought? 46 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:42.360 Look. 47 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.759 Our company has already paid off on two claims. 48 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.240 Recently, we've heard rumors about this man. 49 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.000 It seems the Medical Association is watching him very closely, 50 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.000 but so far no one can prove anything.

The doctors really specialize, and the 61 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.319 buildings they work in sometimes really make the most of it. 62 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.520 As I found out in the elevator going. 63 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:54.599 Up second floor, I ear nose and throw doctor's care crider, whitis, 64 00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:03.840 noster band, third floor fractors, strange springs and dislocations, Doctor's 65 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.840 fowler woodruft, toygo and brown. 66 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:09.039 But me. 67 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:18.360 Fourth floor, ob centrics, orthopedic, pediatrics and general practice doctor Small, 68 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.759 Kya Reynolds, Franks, Stanley, Fibam and schmidleg. 69 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.480 Would all these medical terms you just tossed off, by 70 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.000 any chance, means that we have now arrived in the 71 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.120 land of the mechanized store, to put it crudely, Yes, 72 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:47.439 thank you, Jack Armstrong and the Hello doctor Schmidliken.

I didn't 98 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.120 go up to your office hoping to see the doctor. 99 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.439 I wanted to see his nurse. 100 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.360 You why, Johnny Dollar, if you try to sell. 101 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.720 Me, oh hey, you no, wait a minute, hear me out. 102 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.959 You can probably guess it's getting bleached out trying to 103 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.759 sell insurances days more than anything else. A guy needs 104 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.879 a new angle, and I've got one. People who go 105 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.959 to doctors, they're worried about their health. Now, people who 106 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:36.920 are worried about their health, they're worried about the security 107 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.600 of their families. So they become good prospects for insurance policies. Yeah, 108 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.560 but at the same time, are they also bad risk? 109 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.720 A lot of them all, Yeah, but they can't pass 110 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.600 the insurance physical, but there are plenty of others you 111 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.759 should know the figures proved there as many healthy people 112 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.040 go to doctors as do unhealthy. Perhaps the most popular 113 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.639 disease in America is hypochondria, and the national headquarters seems 114 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:02.160 to be located right here in Los Angeles.

At nine thirty, I was 125 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.680 right on time for my morning appointment with Doreen to 126 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.079 pick up the list of doctor Schmidlick's patience a half 127 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:05.480 hour before the doctor was due to a rise.

Yeah, I think this will help. 170 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:32.639 Oh. At first it felt like a big beast thing 171 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.919 about a quarter the way up my back. Then came 172 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.440 the buzzing inside my head. Whatever kind of liquid lullaby 173 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.720 the good doctor sunk into my spine. It really rocked 174 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.000 me to sleep. I had time to move my head 175 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.960 and watch smdlick put down the hypodermic, walk across the 176 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.279 room to my coat and take from it the lift 177 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.840 of his patience, plus my wallet containing my identification. But 178 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.639 I didn't give it a second thought. I didn't have 179 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.399 time to for me. The lights went out. 180 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.360 In just a moment. 181 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.879 We will return to the second act of Johnny Dollar, 182 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:21.639 but first assets one block of wood, liabilities, more trouble 183 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:25.000 than the legendary paperhanger with the Hives. It sounds as 184 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.799 though Edgar Bergen had a pretty bad bank balance, doesn't it. 185 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.720 But luckily for you, he comes back week after week 186 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.759 to the CBS studios with his block of wood named Charlie, 187 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.799 and lets himself in for more trouble. As for you, 188 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.039 you're really in the chips when you take in the 189 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.600 Edgar Burgh and Charlie McCarthy show heard over most of 190 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.279 these stations every Sunday. Don't miss their brightest, gayest show 191 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.559 Tomorrow night on CBS where this fall you hear them all. 192 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.679 In this ball for the show that you love the 193 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.480 all listen careful. 194 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.759 Hipsy Yet. 195 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.879 Now with our star Charles Russell, we returned to the 196 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.039 second act of yours truly, Johnny Dullar. 197 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.960 And my racket. Sleeping on the job isn't always fun, 198 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.679 and this was one of those times. Waking up from 199 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.919 Doctor Schmidlick's slumber treatment for nosy people carried with it 200 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.120 a dark brown taste in the mouth, thickness of the tongue, 201 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.720 and big bells ringing your steeple. I was scoring on 202 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.960 all those counts when I rolled open my eyelids, which 203 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:46.559 fought me all the way. I sat up. I found 204 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.879 myself on a hard canvas cut in a bare room 205 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:54.679 with soft walls. They were patted. The window wasn't much. 206 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.240 What there was of it was barred, so was the 207 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:02.440 tiny opening and the upholstered doors. At first I thought 208 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:06.200 I was going crazy. Then I realized I was in 209 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.240 the kind of place where they put people they think 210 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:11.799 they've already joined the ranks of the enchant it. It 211 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.080 took me only ten years to make it over to 212 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:20.960 the door before I looked out through the small slip. Hey, hey, 213 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:28.519 come here, someone, Hey, room service, Wait a minute, I'm coming. 214 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:33.879 Hold up your voices.

Who are you? 217 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:41.919 I'm your nurse? 218 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:46.159 Oh sorry, I didn't recognize you. I thought nurses were 219 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.559 supposed to wear little caps. 220 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.200 I got a little cap, but I don't live it 221 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.919 in doors? It hut. Listen, you don't gonna make a 222 00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.440 fun of me. You'll be sorry. 223 00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.519 See, I'm sorry? Now? How am I getting? Anyway? 224 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.320 All I know is this place is be a wrong 225 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:06.399 good you say outside you're dangerous. 226 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.159 You can depend on it. If I ever get out, 227 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.360 I will be what'd you say? Nothing? 228 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.080 H you're one of them, all right? Talking to yourself? 229 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.159 What's your name? 230 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.639 But it's none of your business. But I'll tell you. 231 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.600 I don't like people calling me. Hey you, so I'll 232 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.120 tell you. My name is Foggy. 233 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.600 Okay, Foggy. Listen. All I want is a chance to 234 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.639 talk to somebody who's in charge. How about it? 235 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.279 That's easy. When your time comes, the boss will be 236 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.440 here without no asking. You get one visit from the 237 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.559 boss every day, just like all the others. What will 238 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:46.120 that be just before supper? So why don't you go 239 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.320 back to sleep? That won't be for four more outs? 240 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:54.000 Oh dandy? Who is this boss. What's his name? 241 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.600 The boss is not a hey, He's just a she, 242 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.879 and her name is doctor Smith. 243 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.559 I had four hours to think up different ways of 244 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.399 calling myself a sucker. At the end of our number one, 245 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.200 I ran out of fingernails. At the end of our 246 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.399 number two, I ran out of patience. And the other 247 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.360 two I spent devising torturous new ways of getting even 248 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.320 with a combination that shang hired me into that fancy 249 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.000 four walled straight jacket. They had left me only one 250 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.440 move to make was out. I figured that the winsome 251 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.919 doctor Doreene Smith paid me a visit. She'd come with 252 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.960 her body, well guarded, probably by the charming, be muscled 253 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.039 behemoth nurse Ford, who, from what I saw them through 254 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.440 that slit in the door, was no Florence Nightingale believed 255 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.360 me for him. I needed a club. I didn't have 256 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.360 much to work with. The iron and canvas cart was 257 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.759 heavily bolted to the floor, as was the only other 258 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.639 piece of furniture in the room. It's small but sturdy table. 259 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.919 Took off one of my shoes, ripped the heel off 260 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.919 in an angle of the cop and looked lovingly at 261 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:00.200 the shiny little nail points gleaming back at me from 262 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.519 a solid piece of leather and the palm of my hand. 263 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.960 I put it to work ripping a four foot square 264 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.759 of canvas out of the cot. Then I put both 265 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.120 of my shoes into the center of the square, picked 266 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.320 up the corners, tied them together and close to the weight, 267 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.799 gave it a heft, feeling that I now had at 268 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.240 least the start of a weapon. 269 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:24.759 He up. 270 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.080 I suppose you think that's good news. 271 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:33.320 He's still proppy. Don't trust him. Grab his arms when 272 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:35.519 you go in and hold on. I'll go ahead, I'll follow. 273 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.919 I'll try any tricks you won't hurt you. 274 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:51.759 See hiks mercy, I wouldn't fling them clear back in here, sweetheart, 275 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:56.080 Oh drop your hypodermic planning on rocking me to sleep again. 276 00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.399 Let me tell you something is one squirrel that's running. 277 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:01.759 Get this case. Don't rub my fur the wrong way. 278 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.119 My headaches, I'm seeing double. My nerve ans are whipping 279 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.839 me to dad. For two cents, i'd punched you square 280 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.799 in the nose, because one thing for sure, you ain't 281 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:13.720 no lady, sit down, stay there. When I put on 282 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.279 what reck of my shoes you better go back to heart. 283 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.839 Little boy doesn't speak for you. 284 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.720 Ring around you will make anybody grow old in a hurry. 285 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.200 What do you think you're gonna do right now? I'm 286 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.400 gonna take your cheese, lock you in here with sleeping 287 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:27.880 beauty there, and then I'm going up for a breadth 288 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.519 of fresh air. I have fun. The two of you 289 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:37.839 can make a peach of a pear. I stumbled to 290 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:39.880 the rest of the building, which turned out to be 291 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.400 nothing more than a country house. There were no other 292 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.519 rooms like the one I had just vacated. For that matter, 293 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.279 the would no other so called patience. It could have 294 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.720 been a place maintained for the purpose of making people 295 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.920 talk or keeping them from talking. There was no telephone. 296 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.279 I couldn't call out, but not that could anybody call 297 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.920 in the fine out that something was going wrong. This 298 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.759 little crime crib apparently located well out in the country. 299 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.759 That meant that doctor Dreene Smith had arrived in the car, 300 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.799 which I commentered and drove to the nearest filling station. 301 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.799 No longer having in my possession that list of Schmidlick's patients, 302 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:13.799 I flipped through my memory and came up with a 303 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:25.880 single name I had noted in his office. AA Aaron. Hello, 304 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:32.279 Hello is mister a Aaron inployees? Oh good, mister Aaron. 305 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:34.559 I'm representing a group of West Coast so I'm making 306 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.279 a survey. Where do you have your prescriptions filled? 307 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.200 Itoy Pharmacy? 308 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.880 Oh, I see one more question, mister Aaron. I know 309 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.640 in many cases people go to the pharmacists recommended by 310 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.720 a doctor. Is this the case with you? 311 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:49.599 Yes? 312 00:18:50.720 --> 00:19:04.440 Well, thank you, mister a a Aaron A part of me. 313 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.039 Mister Andoy. The clerk told me where I could find you. 314 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:09.480 My name is Daller. I like to have a word 315 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:14.279 with you if you are the time. On the basis 316 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:16.480 of ethics, the state of California should have picked up 317 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.799 a gentleman's pharmaceutical license and issued him a barber's permit. 318 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.079 Mister Andoy loved to talk, and the two thousand words 319 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:25.960 he threw at me during the ensuing half hour, I 320 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.359 managed to sift the following information. Doctor Schmdlick's prescriptions were 321 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:35.440 usually refillable, dangerous, and habit for me. I also managed 322 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:37.279 to memorize the names of a few of his patients 323 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.319 from the narcotics book. Well, He's tucked into a lonely 324 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:43.720 corner of my cerebral cortex. I limped out into the 325 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:55.319 newborn Knights SM's account on him seven fifty cent, having 326 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.440 the missing heel on my shoe replaced by late working cobblers. 327 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:01.799 Checking the owners of the first four names drew me nelling, 328 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:05.599 but blanks. The fifth drew me closer. Come on in. 329 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.200 Her name was Millicent's Royal. She's a kind of girl 330 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:11.839 whose family takes up a full page in the blue book, 331 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.559 and those personal habits take up full pages on police plotters. 332 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.279 Well, don't just stand there, come in. 333 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:26.160 Thank you, Sit down, miss Royal.

Well, well, it's my 368 00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:58.920 estranged wife having a loved. 369 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:04.920 I don't see why I should rescue you from anybody's clutches, 370 00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.119 but you I don't like your looks. 371 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:09.720 So get out before I bust your hat. 372 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.400 You know you look like just the guy who might 373 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:22.720 be able to do it. Happy Honeymoon. My hangover from 374 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.200 doctor Schmidlake's health cure hit me again as I hit 375 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.880 the street. What I needed was a hot shower and 376 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:31.119 a cold drink. After the water hit me in the face, 377 00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:33.279 and a trifle of the same hit the scotch in 378 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.960 my glass. I sat down on the big easy chair 379 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.920 in my room posing for a picture Johnny Dollar, lonesomest 380 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.319 man in town. I was mixed up in something mighty 381 00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:46.200 big and mighty wrong, but something I couldn't as yet 382 00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:49.440 put a finger on. Up until then, I had to 383 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:54.000 go on with ability, experience, and instinct, all unacceptable to 384 00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.519 the police as evidence. I asked myself why I hadn't 385 00:22:57.559 --> 00:22:59.759 called the law and told them about my party with 386 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.000 the doctor and the man nurse. Then I answered myself 387 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:05.920 that if I did, I'd probably be the one charge 388 00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:08.759 with the salt battery and whatever else they want to 389 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.640 trump up Again, it would only be my word against 390 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.400 that of an established medical man and his doctor type nurse. 391 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:17.640 So I decided to leave dreen in a monster type 392 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.680 nurse where they were until I could turn them over 393 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.759 to the cops. Four drinks later, I was beginning to 394 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.480 realize that those kinds of troubles don't drown easily. And 395 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:34.839 then the phone rang. Yeah it's dollar, Yes, this is 396 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:35.160 a dollar. 397 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.720 Want you to come over right away. 398 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.000 Wait a minute, what's the matter? 399 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.480 Change my mind? I'll tell you everything, anything. 400 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:47.200 You want to know. I listen, midicine. Take the advice 401 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:48.799
