your judgment.

as professional skill, a man of varied experience, Well, a
man like you, doctor Adams.

A chance to go back to practice medicines. I started
out to.

Doctor Adams. Yeah, I should think of considerable financial satisfaction.

I can understand that, Doctor Evanston, and I can even

thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Well, it's d uh. It were easy to learn of
an old friend's death. We doctors run into it all
the time. It's never easy.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yes, I'm sorry to bring the news, Doctor Adams, but
doctor Wilson wanted up that way.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
You must have been very close.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
At one time.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yes, yes, he's very close.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I mean I went through medical college together, death, sir,
started up in practice, and.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Then the war came, and.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Life has many dislocations, doctor Webber, it does. Indeed, my
purpose in coming.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Here, Doctor Adams, was not merely to bring you the
unhappy news of Henry Wilson's death. It was to outline
some of his last wishes. They concern you, concerned me, yes, sir,
Doctor Wilson wanted your help.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I don't know what your yet INGI got the weather.
It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Successful man like Henry Wilson wanting help from means because
of his success.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Well, I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yes, well, doctor Wilson had established the clinic in the Philadelphia. Yes,
I've heard of it, and that's why I'm here. He
wanted you to take charge of it after his death.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
He h.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
He wanted me, and.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
He had a high professional opinion of you, doctor Adams.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
We we handled some interesting cases together.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was very interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But even more than your professional ability, doctor Wilson respected
your judgment.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
In handling people.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Uh, there's some fine young doctors at his clinic, but
he felt the man in charge should be an older doctor.
I'm older, all right, man of seizing judgment as well
as professional skill, a man of varied experience, Well, a
man like you, doctor Adams.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I see.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
It would mean a life have greatly increased medical opportunity
for you at last methods research and uh, it would
mean a life of greater and well comfort.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Oh that would be something, wouldn't it after all these years?
A chance to go back to practice medicines. I started
out to.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Practices, it would be a position of considerable importance and influence,
Doctor Adams. Yeah, I should think of considerable financial satisfaction.
Dr Wilson wanted.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
To be sure the job was attractive to you.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
He wanted you to come. That would be healthy, Doc,
doal come in, boy, it's Billy.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Oh it's his arm. Doc marsaid you was to look
at it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Oh well, sure, colony and Billy, he won't be able

Speaker 4 (08:57):
And splints all of that cover of there? Yes, yes,

Speaker 4 (09:38):
It's a harsh lamb. Well, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Doctor, if you stop to think of the proposal I
brought with me, I'd been thinking of it, life wouldn't
be quite so.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Harsh in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Though, I must say. Little boys break their arms there too.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Well, they always did. Here's doctor Webber.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Life would be easy.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
That's not what I'm thinking about the most.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
It's the thought of the equipment, a chance to use
the latest method to talk things over with doctors, be
your libraries.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I'd have to learn how to act.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Doctor were no. Doctor Wilson didn't worry about that.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Henry was an old and faceful fragment.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
All right, Chester, all right, tell me well, doctor the
fellow that was just rung into jail and he'd been shot,
and this Jilms had for you to counsel as the
bleeding badge.

wounds caused a lot of trouble. Even if they do
it hit a vital spot, bleeding, infection, you constant danger.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Lock jaw.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yes, a gun can cause many problems.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Trumni deliver doctor at her hold on. I was to
see you, doctor, will have to be a little later there.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It ain't that I need to doctor Adams.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I just want to thank you. Why there ain't kindly
anybody will believe by.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'm up and around to see it's five five, But
we weren't kind of a hurrying baby.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
You wouldn't know there's been a bit of trouble about him.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
He's even like he was trying to catch.
Speaker 2 (11:41):

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I just want to go say where to thanks to you,
doctor likes The sounds like a satisfied customer proving a
pleasant It was a dangerous delivery. Doctor.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
She's lucky.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You can't very well afford to specialize, can you, doctor,
I specialize in Dodge City.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Uh, let's see about that. Bullet.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
M Well, it isn't exactly Philadelphia food.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Doctor ever.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Uh yeah, it keeps us going. Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
All doctors learned to eat when they get the chance. Though,
I must say our place is generally slower than yours.
H J.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Say your morning has been rather fool.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
A broken arm, bullet wound, or twin eye.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Go forget the sick horse.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I'm not likely to forget that. No, seriously, doctor Adams.
Don't you think the practice I can offer you in
Philadelphia would give you a more productive life? You are
trying to get the time to think about it, Doctor,
I can't deny that it is an interesting idea.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
It's very interesting.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
The opportunity, the opportunities were participating in medical advances would
be tremendous. And I shouldn't think most satisfying. And there's
something else, doctor, that I don't wish to sound presumptions.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Oh, don't you worry about it. I know I'm getting older.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
If just that life might be easy not if not.

I got an Indian waiting.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
There by the road.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Oh yeah, yes, I did well. I I guess the
best way is to pay no attention to him.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh no, no, no, Doctor Adams.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Yeah, he wants to talk to me.
Speaker 3 (16:04):

Indians too well.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Only when they let me, Doctor Webber, only when they.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Left me, Doctor Adams.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, we have a lot of things to offer you
in Philadelphia, but I was wrong about one thing. We
can't offer you more variety. I have seen some astounding
things today. I just watched you perform a delicate and
dangerous operation under the crudest circumstances.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
And performing with as much skill as though.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You had the latest equipment. Well, you learn to use
what you've got, doctor Webber, and I've seen you received thanks.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
From the wild Indian Who Indians are people? You know.
I wasn't so sure at first, doctor Adam, but now
I know we would be very lucky to.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Have you in Philadelphia if you feel you can come.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Well, i'd uh, I'd like to come, But but you're
not coming, are you?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No? Uh, I guess I'm not. A man has to
stay where he's needed. I haven't made much of a
mark in Madison.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I think maybe i'd have more of a chance for that.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
But uh, but I'm needed here, doctor Webber. I needed you,
and you understand that.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I can understand that, Doctor Evanston, and I can even
endure you. Well, here's your bag, doctor Weber, thank you.
(19:03):
Here's payment for my bill.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I hope you had a pleasant stay in Dodge City.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Oh yes, yes, indeed, it was certainly a pleasure of
having a man like you visit us.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I hope you'll come again.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Thank you. We don't get a chance to see a
fine doctor and Dodge very often.
