[SIRENS WAILING]

LA, Engine 51. We have a
three-story apartment structure.

No smoke showing.

[RADIO CHATTER]

I smelled some smoke up on the second floor,
but I can't tell where it's coming from.

Hey, Roy,
let's you and John and I go on up there.

You guys stand by till
we see what we've got.

Can I get in... No, no,
ma'am, you stay out here.

I'll go down this way.

Cap!

Fire Department!
Anybody in here?

You get her out
of there. Get her out.

Watch it.

Engine 51, HT 51, I want the reel line
up here, also a hall runner and debris bag.

STANLEY: Be advised the squad
is bringing a victim down.




STANLEY: LA, Engine 51. We
have a small interior apartment fire.


Cancel other units.
Engine 51, out 20 minutes.


DISPATCHER: Engine 51.

All units with Engine 51 cancel.

Rampart, this is Squad 51.
How do you read?

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have a female
victim of smoke inhalation,

about 60 years of age.

She is stuporous. We have her
on O2. Stand by for vital signs.

She's in respiratory distress.



Rampart, victim's respiration
is 16 and very shallow.

She's in respiratory distress.

Pulse is 110 and bounding.

Pulse is 110 and bounding.
Stand by for BP.



BP is 90 over 60, Rampart.


and get an EKG.

Also check pupilary responses
and listen to the patient's chest.



I'll get the scope.

The chest is clear to P and A.

Pupils are equal and sluggish.

Rampart,
the pupils are equal and sluggish.

The chest is clear to P and A.

ROY: Stand by for an EKG.

Okay, this will be lead two.

Looks like a first
degree AV block.

Yeah.

With evidence of
conduction abnormalities.


previous history of heart disease?

Did the victim have a previous
history of any heart disease...

She never mentioned any to me.
But I really didn't know her that well.

No confirmation
on that, Rampart.


ventilate with ambu bag.

Continue monitoring cardiac functions
and transport as soon as possible.



All right.

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Uh, ma'am, does she have a
family that the hospital can contact?

No, no,
she's all alone. She's a retired nurse.

How is she?

Oh, she's okay. She's stable.
We're gonna take her in.

Okay.

Milly.

You know her?

Yeah.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

[SIRENS WAILING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:


toxic chemicals are stored
in a tanker.


Use caution.

KELLY ON RADIO: Squad 51,
this is Rampart. Can you send me some EKG?


JOHNNY ON RADIO:


We're sending you a strip.
Vitals to follow.


Pulse is 160. The victim
is in extreme pain, Rampart.


[INTERCOM BEEPING]

This patient is in V-fib.

Rampart, we have lost the
victim's pulse. Beginning CPR.


[RAPID BEEPING]

We're defibrillating victim,
Rampart.


Rampart, we've defibrillated
victim. Decent sinus rhythm.


JOE ON RADIO: Administer 2 amps
sodium bicarb and insert an airway.


KELLY ON RADIO: Start an IV,


DIXIE: Squad 51, continue monitoring
Vitals and transport immediately.


JOHNNY ON RADIO:
We're on our way, Rampart.


One, two.

Milly Eastman! Dix,
you better get Joe.

Right.

Let's get her on
a Byrd respirator.

Steth.

Joe, Kel wants you
in Treatment 1.

What's up?

Well, you know that female
victim that Squad 51 just brought in?

Yeah.

It's an old friend.

Pulse is 110, blood pressure is 80 over 50,
respirations are 8.

Pupils are dilated.

Do you know her, too, Doc?

Yeah, John, I sure do.

She used to be the
head nurse here.

DIXIE: Milly Eastman.
She retired four years ago.

[RAPID BEEPING]

Doctor, V-fib!

One, two, three, hit her.

Stand clear! Clear.

Coarse V-fib. Carol,
one amp sodium bicarb,

KELLY: Epinephrine,
one to 10,000 intra-cardiac.

[RAPID BEEPING CONTINUES]

Bicarb.

Epi.

Okay, Joe.

One, two, three, hit her.

Clear. Clear.

[SLOWER BEEPING RESUMES]

Sinus rhythm, Doctor.

Milly never had a
history of heart disease.

I saw her a couple
of months ago.

She was feeling kind of low
about her retirement,

so I wrote out a prescription
for her. An antidepressant.

Well, her disorder's consistent
with an antidepressant OD.

Let's get a gastric lavage
and a toxicology screen.

I'll draw blood for CBC,
electrolytes and arterial gases.

Dix, order a chest X-ray,
and get her a bed in ICU.

ROY: Doc,
you need us for anything else?

No, thanks a lot, fellas.

Okay, see you later.

I just can't believe
that Milly would OD,

accidentally or deliberately.

Yeah, well, we'll know for sure
when the test results come back.

Here's her toxicology report,
Kel.

She must've ingested 12 grams.

It had to be deliberate. Milly
knew how much would k*ll her.

[sums]

Well, fortunately, she failed.

Milly? Milly! Can you hear me?

Huh?

Huh?

Where am I?

How are you feeling, Milly?

Kel Brackett?

That's half-right, Milly.

Joe?

Am I at Rampart?

Am I at Rampart? Oh, no!

Why didn't you let me die?

Why'd you try to k*ll yourself,
Milly?

I don't want to talk about it.

Please, leave me alone.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Dr. Brackett.

Yeah, right away.

I got to go, Joe.
Drowning victim.

I'll be back, Milly.

Go!

Pulse is 80. Blood pressure,


Fresh water? A swimming pool.

How long was she submerged?

Her mother said
just a few seconds.

She was getting
mouth-to-mouth when we arrived.

She's a paraplegic.
Paralyzed from the waist down.

Name's Jean Clark.

What was she doing in a pool?

[JEAN MOANING]

All right, easy, easy, honey.

JEAN: Somebody help...

Kel, her mother is here.

All right, thanks, Dix.

All right, just take it easy.
You're going to be all right.

Mike, I'll have a talk
with her mother.

Get a CBC, electrolytes,
BUN, and creatinine.

Also arterial blood
gases. EKG and chest film.

The pulse is 80.
Respirations are 16.

Dr. Brackett? Dr. Brackett?

Mrs. Clark?

How's Jean?

She's fully conscious,
and her vital signs are good.

We're running some
tests to tell us more.

Thank heaven she's
alive. I was so worried.

Well, she doesn't seem to
be in any immediate danger.

But there could be
a delayed reaction.

We'll have to keep her for
a few days for observation.

You mean, I can't take her home?

No, I'm afraid that's
out of the question.

Oh, but she hates
hospitals so much.

Dr. Brackett, I mean, Jean was
paralyzed in an accident a year ago.

She spent months in traction.
It was a terrible ordeal for her.

And now this, I mean...

Perhaps you could talk to her.

All right. I'll try.

They'll be moving her
upstairs in a few minutes.

Why don't you get her admitted
and then I'll take you up to see her?

Okay. Thank you.

[GLASS BREAKING]

No! I'm not staying
in this place!

Dr. Brackett. She
won't listen to me.

Jean, nobody wants to keep you
here a second longer than necessary.

But complications after almost
drowning are very common.

Don't tell me about
complications.

That's what they
called my paralysis.

I'm not staying in
another hospital.

Jean you've got to stay here
at least for a few more days.

For what? So you can
paralyze the rest of me?

This is Dr. Brackett
in Room 518.

Would you send an orderly
up here with a mop, please?

Thank you.

You can stay as
long as you like.

Thank you.

I'll take over for a while.

Nice to have you back.

Do me a favor and go.

Do me a favor and shut up.

How'd I get here.

I took 12 grams.

There was a fire.

The firemen brought you in.

I remember lighting a cigarette.

Guess it's the first time
that habit ever saved anybody.

You didn't really want to die.

Don't you tell me that.

You, of all people?

Can't you figure it out?

Is it your retirement?

Have you any idea
what it's like,

waiting to die?

But when you retired, you seemed
so excited, about your travels...

So I traveled.

Then I came home, but to what?

A cat, a parakeet,
everything but something to do with myself.

My life was my work, Dix!

When my work ended...

Now, look, Milly...

No, you look!

Or someday you'll be lying in this bed,
just like me! Then you'll know how I feel!

Oh, I'm sorry I said that.

That's okay.

Maybe I understand
better than you think.

You kids are pretty efficient.

In the old days,


Just goes to show you
how out of touch I really am.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER: Squad 51.
Woman down in the parking lot.


3909 West Leland Street. Cross
street: Main. Time out: 15:20.


Squad 51, KMG 365.

[SIREN WAILING]

There's a woman who's sick
over there! I think she's fainted.

All right.

Excuse us. Will you give
us a little room here, please?

Pardon me. Pardon me, ma'am.

Want to step back a little
ways here? Thank you.

She came into my store. Had
an idea she wasn't gonna make it.

She was puffing real
hard and turning red.

Pulse is 90. Respiration's 20.

Turn her over there.

Easy.

Chest is clear.

We better get her on O2, huh?

Yeah.

Get her BP.

Did anybody see this happen,
when she fainted?

She like dropped in her tracks. I
knew something was bothering her.

She moved, uh, sort of funny.

Funny?

Well, like her joints were hurting
her. Stiff, kinda. You know?

Yeah. BP is 120 over 80.
The pupils are normal.

Wanna check her legs? He
said something about her joints.

Oh, look at this.

Plastic.

What in the world is this?

I don't know.

Is it some sort of a bandage?

Well, never heard of bandage
being put on with masking tape.

How far up does it go?

Must go all the way
up. She's really warm.

She's warm? Yup.

She's real flushed, too.

Rampart,
this is Squad 51. How do you read?

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have a female,
approximately 45 years old.

JOHNNY: Uh, she's unconscious. Her vital
signs are, BP 120 over 80. Pulse is 90.

Respiration is 20. Her skin
is flushed and very warm.

Her pupils are
normal and reactive.

She's wrapped up here,
like a mummy with this stuff.

Uh, Rampart,
she's wrapped like a mummy with plastic.

Could you repeat that last
transmission, 51?

Uh, Rampart, her whole
body is wrapped in plastic.

And it's taped together
with masking tape.

Also, Rampart, we have her
on four liters of oxygen.

Cut it away from her.

Use spirits of ammonia to revive her,
and obtain her temperature.



I'll get some blankets.

Pardon me.

JOHNNY: Take it easy.
What's going on?

Take it easy. You're
fine. You're gonna be fine.

Where am I? What
am I doing here?

Well, we're Los Angeles County
paramedics. It seems that you fainted.

Here, you want to put this
under your tongue? There we go.

Fainted? Yes.

You're cutting off my clothes!
You're cutting off my clothes!

Ma'am, just relax. Take it easy.

We're doing that
under doctor's orders.

I don't see a doctor!

Right here. Right here.

We're on a phone with him. We're
Los Angeles County paramedics.

You're gonna be fine. Okay?

This plastic that you're wrapped up
in may have caused your collapse.

That's why we're taking
it off. All right?

I'm so embarrassed. I don't
remember a thing. Not a thing.

Ma'am, do you remember
why the plastic was put on you?

Oh, of course!
To compress my cellulite.

I beg your pardon?

You know, cellulite.
It's like fat.

The wrapping squeezes
it back into your body.

The wrapping

squeezes the fat
back into your body?

It's the latest thing.
You go to a big fancy salon,

they charge 200,


Is that where you had this done?

Of course not.
Do I look like a fool?

I wrapped myself
in my own kitchen.

I saved $200 or $300.

Oh, good.

Uh, Rampart, this is Squad 51.

JOE: Go ahead, 51.

Uh, Rampart, we've cut
away all the plastic.

And the patient has
regained full consciousness.

JOHNNY: Her temperature is 102.

Rampart, the plastic was put on to,
uh, compress

her fat back into her body.


and transport immediately.



[SIREN APPROACHING]

ROY: We had to remove
some of her clothing here,

just try and keep this blanket on her,
all right?

All right.

Get her from there and I'll
just keep a hold of this blanket.

Don't worry about anything we're
gonna keep it on you. All right.

All right, there we go.

Where are you taking me?

Rampart General Hospital, ma'am.

Don't forget my clothes!

No, I won't forget your clothes.

My purse?

I'll get the purse.

I guess you got the clothes.

Yeah.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

Do it once more.

Well, Mrs. Slade,
everything seems to be just fine.

I think your syncopal
episode was due to heat

and the compression
of those wrappings.

I knew that's all it was.

But just to be on the safe side,
we're going to make some X-rays.

And take a few tests.

We'll keep you in the observation
room for about an hour. All right?

Anything you say, Doctor.

Now, listen to me, the best way to reduce,
to lose fat, is gradually,

and under doctor supervision.

[CHUCKLING] Can't blame a
girl for wanting to take a short-cut.

I'll see you later.

How's Mrs. Slade doing?

Oh, just fine. She'll be under
observation for about an hour.

Uh,
when is Milly going to be moved out of ICU?

Later on this afternoon. She's
really making good progress.

Well, I'm afraid when she leaves,
she's just going to try it again.

You know, Milly desperately needs
to become involved with something.

You mean some kind
of hobby or sport?

No, Joe, she's a nurse! No hobby
can ever replace that in her life.

She needs to, well,
feel useful again.

Look, Dix, people retire all
the time. It's a natural condition,

but su1c1de isn't
exactly a natural reaction.

Yeah, but it happens.

And I think I know
exactly how she must feel.

Oh, man, if I couldn't do my job,
I don't know what I'd do.

Did you spill something, Kel?

Orange juice.
It was thrown at me.

Jean again?

Yeah.

How is she?

Well,
she has lower-right-lobe pneumonia.

I don't know, if that girl put as
much energy into getting well

as she does being disruptive,
she'd be out of that wheelchair by now.

Are you going to move
her to a private room?

I guess I'm going to have to.
Her roommate's complaining.

Kel, I know somebody
we can put in with Jean.

Who?

How about an ex-head nurse?

Milly?

Well, Joe's moving her out
of ICU later this afternoon.

I don't know, Dix.

Putting two unstable
patients together?

Could be good therapy.

Now, Milly needs to get
involved with life again.

Even if it's only with
that poor, scared girl.

What do you think, Joe?

I think my patient would probably
benefit from that association.

Well, let's just try it for
one day. See how it works.

All right, let's try.

Hi, Milly. Hi, Dix.

How's it going?

Everything's quiet.

For a minute,
I almost forgot I was a patient.

There she is. Right on time.

Well, does it take two doctors and
a head nurse to move one patient?

I never would
have stood for that.

Well, sometimes Dixie lets
us bend the rules a little bit.

Yeah, she always was a softie.

Milly, I need a favor.

We're moving you in
with a problem patient.

A recent paraplegic
who can't adjust.

I know what you're up to, Kel.

Trying to get me involved.
Make me feel useful.

Sorry. I'm retired.

JOE: Milly.

You're my patient and I think a hefty dose
of involvement is exactly what you need.

Good theory. But your therapy won't work,
fellas.

I just don't care anymore.

I'll see you guys later.
I'm due in surgery.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Reed, Treatment
Room 3. Dr. Reed, Treatment Room 3.


JEAN: I don't want to eat,
you hear? Take it away!

Do you see what I mean? I've tried to
talk to her, but so far no communication.

I think you can help.

Bad thinking. I can't
even help myself.

Hello, Jean. We've brought
you a roommate. This is Milly.

I don't want a roommate.

Well, I'm sorry,
Jean. We need the space.

So you can put more people into wheelchairs,
until the whole world is crippled?

Milly, if you want to talk or anything,
you know how to reach me.

I'll be fine. You better
get back to the store.

You should eat something.
It's for your own good.

You need anything, holler out.

Look at the mess you've made!

So what?

Somebody's got to
clean it up, that's what!

This is a hospital,
not a nursery school!

Maybe they'll get sick
of me and let me go home.

You're here because you're sick!

A lot of nice people are trying to help you.
You're not making it any easier for them.

You know what your trouble is?
You think because you're a paraplegic,

you have some kind
of special privileges!

You don't have to be decent anymore,
or courteous.

You're not only pitiful,
you're disgusting.

What would you know about it?

Look...

I tried to k*ll myself.
That's why I'm here.

Then you're no better than I am!

Actually, I'm a lot worse.

Mr. Carson? Yes.

I'm Dr. Morton.

Better not shake hands,
Doc. I got the flu pretty bad.

And this must be Chuck?

Yes, my son.

He's eight. Pretty sick,
aren't you, sport?

Well, let's get him into a
treatment room. What's available?

Two.

You want to get in this way,
sir?

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Canter,
Treatment Room 4.


Put out your tongue.

How long has he been sick?

Three days.
The whole family's got it.

Pulse is 80.
Respirations are 30.

You say all their symptoms
are the same as his? Yeah...

We're all sick. Fever,
headache. It's the worst flu we ever had.

And you all came down with
it at the same time? Yeah.

It's kind of funny. Usually
one of the kids gets it first.

Blood pressure is 100 over 60.

Temperature, 100.6.

Okay, let's put him on oxygen
and start an IV with D5W.

Turn around. Let me see.

Hey, Doc. He's the one you're
supposed to be working on.

I noticed that you and your son
both have very rosy cheeks and lips.

Huh? We do?

Is that common?

No, must be from the flu,
I guess.

It's also a sign of
carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide? You mean,
like from car exhaust?

Do you live near a parking structure,
or garage?

No.

What's that got to
do with having a flu?

It's been pretty cool
these past few days.

Do you have a furnace or
maybe a fireplace in your house?

As a matter of fact,
I just installed a new furnace.

We just started using it.

Three days ago?

I vented that heater, Doc.
I checked it out.

Did you have it inspected?

No. Not really.

Increase the oxygen to
ten liters per minute.

I want to draw blood for CBC, electrolytes,
arterial blood gases, and carboxyhemoglobin.

Are you saying it's not flu?

I don't know. We'll know for
sure when the tests come back.

But the symptoms you
have described for the flu

also apply to slow carbon
monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide poisoning?

Yes.

Whoa. Hey, hey.
Wait, wait, wait.

Wait a minute,
wait a minute. Where are you going?

I've got to get my wife
and daughter out of there!

Yeah, right, right. But the Fire
Department can do it faster than you can.

Now, why don't you come
sit down for a second, huh?

[COUGHS]

This is Dr. Morton. Get me the
County Fire Department, stat!

WOMAN: Oh, my God! Hey!

Hey, what's wrong?

Do you live here? No,
I live next door.

Is there something
wrong with the Carsons?

We got a report on a carbon
monoxide poisoning, ma'am.

No. You know anything about it?

Well,
we're just going to have to check it out.

You think they're all in there?

Don't know. One way to find out.

Anybody at home? This is
LA County Fire Department.

Door's locked.

Anything on the windows?

Windows are locked.

Hey, I've got a key. Just a second,
okay?

Anybody there?

No answer. We can't get in.

Break it in, pal.

Cap,
the lady's got a key to the door.

Here it is!

All right.

I feed their dog
when they leave town.

Okay.

Oh, hey,
that's funny. What's that?

Their dog. I mean,
he usually barks like crazy

when strangers come
on the front porch.

I wonder what's wrong with him?

STANLEY: Ma'am, please. Ma'am,
please, stay out here, okay?

Cap!

Is anybody else back there?

Not that I saw.

Nobody in the bathroom.

Cap. There's nobody
in the kitchen.

Okay, let's you and I check the place
very carefully and open the windows.

Are they dead?

No, they're still alive.

How're they coming?

Well, they're alive.

It was the furnace.
The vent was blocked.

Funny. They just put
that furnace in, too.

Rampart,
this is Squad 51. Do you read?

MIKE: Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have two victims here,
carbon monoxide poisoning.

The first victim is a female,
approximately 30 years of age.

We have her on O2.
Stand by for vital signs.

Okay. Respirations, 8.
Pulse is 100.

BP is 90 over 60.

ROY: On the first victim, Rampart,
the pulse is 100, the BP is 90 over 60,

and the respirations are 8.

Second victim, female,
six years of age.

Same symptoms.
Stand by for vital signs.



Second victim,
the blood pressure is





Pulse is 90.

Pulse is 90,
respirations are 10.

Are both victims' mucus
membranes unusually flushed?

Stand by, Rampart.

Give me a hand over here.

You want to remove
that for a second?

Okay, problem over here, too.

That's affirmative, Rampart.

Continue ventilation with


Start IV with D5W on both
victims and transport immediately.

IV with D5W, both victims,


Cap, Cap, we're going to go
away with both of them, okay?

Okay, we'll bring the
squad over for you. All right.

Okay,
I'll get the little girl, then.

Hi. Good morning.

Wanted to come
by for some supplies.

Okay. How's the
Carson family doing?

Oh, they're just doing fine. Even the dog,
I heard.

That's great.

Oh,
listen. Have you guys got a minute?

Sure. What you got in mind?

Well,
there's somebody I want you to meet.

Well, who are we going to see?

You'll see.

It's that retired nurse we
rescued from the fire, right?

DIXIE: Right. She's
going home tomorrow.

May we come in?

Well, it's your hospital.

Jean, Milly...

This is John Gage
and Roy DeSoto.

Hi! Hi.

Hi. How are you feeling?

Fine. Good!

They saved your life.

Oh, well...

I've been pretty mad
at you boys. I'm sorry.

We're glad you're
feeling better.

I wish we'd had paramedics
when I was working here.

You guys are a
couple of real pros.

Well, that's exactly
what we hear about you.

Too much for
my own good, I guess.

Look, uh... Well, good luck.

Hope you won't need us anymore.

Uh-uh.

Thanks. Pleasure.

Thank you. It's all right.

Milly...

Are you really sure everything's
going to be okay when you leave here?

Dix, I've learned
something about myself.

Being a nurse isn't
so important.

What I really need
is to be needed.

So when I get out of here,
I'm going to look for some place

where they really need
a retired nurse.

Great. When you do,
save a place for me. Okay?

Okay.

Dix,
don't worry about me anymore.

Jean and I both have a lot of
living to catch up on. Right, Jean?

Gin-Oh...

Hey, Roy...

Did you give any
thought to retirement?

Not much.

You've got the best retirement
insurance a man can have.

How's that?

A family.

Better than money any day.

Maybe so.

Maybe,
you better get yourself a wife.

I think I'll go with the money.

ROY: What've we got?

Well, we've got both ends
of the freeway blocked off.

Truck's carrying liquid hydrogen. One
man's still trapped underneath there.

We tried,
but we couldn't get him out.

All right. We better
move those cars back.

If that thing's leaking,
there could be an expl*si*n.

Vince, you better get your men out of
there. We're dealing with an invisible fire.

If that thing goes, you walk into it,
you'll be dead right now.

Okay, thank you. Hey, Dan,
we better get out of there.

Let the fire
department handle it.

Inch and a half, Marco.

Can't get through over here.

This one's jammed too.

Guess we're going to need
more than a pry bar, huh?

Yeah, I think so.

ROY: Hey, take it easy, all right? We'll
get you out of there in just a minute.

Alive? Yeah.

Sure like to use the K12,
but the sparks could set off that hydrogen.

Stoker, bring up the Ajax tool.

Roy...

The engine's smoking.

Could go at any minute.

Okay, you guys get him out
of there. We'll take care of that.

All right. Kelly,
hit that vapor.

Cap, the hood's stuck.
I can't get it open.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

Cap... Got it?

Are you using a crowbar?

That should do it.

Okay. You hurt anywhere up here?

MAN: No.

How about your legs?
You hurt in your legs?

Yeah, my right one.

All right. Fold your arms
up here. Keep them folded.

Okay.

Which leg is it? Right leg.

STANLEY: We have ignition. Watch
out for invisible fire on your side.

MARCO: I can't hold it.

Let's go, Marco. Drop that.

ROY: Cap! It's
spreading to the other car.

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

All right. I'll get
the equipment.

All right, that stuff's


Throw the water right on the leak. It
ought to freeze up and take care of it.

LA, Engine 51. Notify the
Security Liquid Gas Corporation

to get another 8,000-gallon tanker out here
and transfer this load of liquid hydrogen.

DISPATCHER: Engine 51.

DISPATCHER: Battalion 14. Sent fire
engine in the city. They are responding.


[SIREN WAILING]

How's the victim?

Well,
he's got a broken leg and a few abrasions.

He's pretty lucky.
He's not the only one.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Adler,
outside call, please.


Dr. Adler, outside call, please.

Well, look who's here again.

KELLY: Milly!
Don't you look great.

Oh, thanks, Kel.

I just dropped by
on my way to work.

Work? Where?

For the su1c1de Prevention Center.
Where else? I'm a telephone volunteer.

Milly is also going to be a counselor
with the Center's gerontological unit.

There's a lot of retired
people who feel the way I felt.

It helps them to know that
I went through it, too.

How's Jean doing?

Oh, she's taking physical
therapy and making great progress.

Oh, that's good. I sure want to thank you,
Milly. You really helped her.

You want to thank me?

Have we forgotten
who's the doctor?

Oh,
I've got to run. I don't like to be late.

Hey, don't be a stranger,
huh? Bye.

No, no, no.

Doesn't anybody work at Rampart?

Let's hustle, boys and girls!

You've got sick people to help!
