This is where the real action is. We use this phone to call the O.R.-- 6440. X ray is around the corner. They're idiots. They scare the patients and make them wait.

Then i shoot myself in the leg. These things happen. I bet you see a lot working in a place like this. Yeah, oh, yeah. All the time. Uh, okay. ( Gasps ) look, doc, you don't mind my asking-- have you done this before? I'd hate to tell you how often I've done this before. You're going to feel a little needle. Ow! Come on, that wasn't that bad. But we missed the vein. I'm going to have to try this one more time. My wife is not that bad. We don't argue that much, just once in a while. It's lucky i didn't kill her, right? Oh, man. I'm afraid we missed again. We have to try one more time. You have very tough veins. My wife is a very beautiful woman. Uh-huh.

I was so embarrassed, I didn't know what to do. So i got the american express card, and it never happened again. We can take your application right over the phone. Applying for the card was one of the easiest things i've ever done-- and smartest. With the card, I don't make interest payments. So it helps me keep my finances under control. I've really learned to appreciate that. Now the card has rewards built in. I get a point for virtually every dollar i spend. Plus double points at places i shop the most, like supermarkets and gas stations. And I can redeem them for just about anything. From a trip to rome to a flat-screen tv. So call now for the american express card. You can apply right over the phone. It helped not having a pre-set spending limit. It's great earning double points at so many places. I can call 24 hours a day. That helps. Call... And apply now. There's never been a better time to be a card member. Wear contacts ? Visine for contacts... Does more than rewet your lenses.

It means there's something abnormal within the structure of your lung. There's something in my lung? Yes, that's right. What is it? It could be an infiltrate, a dense area of tissue from an old infection an inhaled foreign body, a granuloma of some sort. It could be a lot of things. Well, what do you think it is? There's no way to know. You'll have to undergo a bronchoscopy and possibly exploratory surgery before we know for sure. I understand, but... What do you think in the meantime? I think in the meantime, you could consider it a potentially serious finding. So, you're saying I got cancer? I'm not saying that. We don't know anything for sure. I'm 40 years old. I have a wife. I have three children. I have a house that is not paid for. I have a mother who has a house that isn't paid for. I have a lot of responsibilities. I need to know what you think. You should regard your condition as very serious but should await a final determination. I don't understand the problem. Are you afraid to tell me the truth? Your history of coughing blood weight loss, and this x ray is suggestive of cancer but the diagnosis has not been confirmed and it may very well be something else and none of us should jump to any conclusions until we know. That's what I think. How long do I have? Six months to a year. Do i have six months for sure? No, not for sure. Okay. Yeah, I was just wondering because I always wanted to take my wife to nassau. We talked about it, but we never did it so i just figured spring's coming. It's getting too late to go to nassau and she always wanted a... Suntan in the winter to show off to the neighbors and stuff. I understand. Yeah, yeah. So, I guess I better go. Summer's going to be here. I guess I better go pretty soon. Doctor, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for your help and thank you for being straight with me. I really appreciate it. ( Deep sigh ) I guess I don't have to quit smoking. ( Soft crying ) mr. Parker, if there's one thing you learn in my job it's that nothing is certain-- nothing that seems very bad and nothing that seems very good. Nothing is certain. Nothing. ( Sniffling ) I'm sorry. Oh...
