Iveveeen a doctor for a number of years, that would offend me because of my chosen profession. Im sure of that. You must a very sensitive and observant man to have noticed. You know, the people on your wagon train are relatively nice. Back in boston they used to throw stones through my windows and hoot at me on the street. Its shocking to see how abusive people can be when they dont understand and become intolerant. The interesting thing is that women are the most abusive. Well. No, i. I dont guess i could. You see. I dont really know much about women. Well, thats very honest. Itit rare to find a man who would admit it, major. You know, theres no need to be so formamaout here. Why dont you just call me seth . All right. My names carol. Carol, huh . I must say it suits you better than doctor. Why does carol suit me better than doctor . Well, maam, you cant deny that youre a mighty pretty woman, but but what . Do you think because im a doctor im not a woman . That i wouldnt like to have a home and children and a husband to share all my problems and pleasures . Well, if thats what you think, youre wrong you dont know anything about women. Well, no, maam, i dont. I never been married. Outside of the women on the wagon train, i just dont see many. That just shows you i would have wagered you were a married man. I might have been, but. She died. Im sorry. I didnt mean to pry. She must have been very lovely. She was. But. I guess that was just meant to be, thats all. Seth. Do you believe that there is a predestined plan to our lives . That whats to happen will happen no matter what we want or do . Well, carol, i can only speak for myself, but i really think im doing what i was meant to do. Sure, ive got some regrets about things that have happened in the past, and as for the future, id like to believe that everything thats gonna happen is gonna happen for the best. Well, i might not have put it just that way. But i think you and i have a lot in common. I think we could become very good friends. I think we better go back to camp. About your friend mr. Grover. K so much . I dont mean how did it become a drug or a crutch to him, i know how, medically, but what i want to know is why. If i knew that, theres a possibility i could help him. Well, carol. Ive known bart grover practically all my life, and thats quite a while. See, we grew up together, we we always real good friends. Then when the war came along, all the others just got right behind that b bss band but not bart. He was kind of a pacifist, i guess said he didnt believe in killing people. And nobody could dispute how right the man was. But that didnt keep other people from poking fun at himm just because he wasnt in uniform. I poked fun at him, too. I think thats why he finally joined up. From there on in, everything went wrong for bart. That he not only loved, but he just really worshipped. And the army and the fighting and everything just almost drove him out of his mind. He wasnt a bad soldier he didnt drink and carouse or gripe whatever was bothering him, heheept to himself. Finally, when the war was over, bart went home. Had run off with some other man. Well, bart just fell into a thousand little pieces. Somehow he was never able to. Get those pieces backckogether again. Thats when he found the bottle. Ill just never forgive myself for prodding him into the army. Anyhow, we brought him out to the west, to the big sky and the great, great open country, d. But it hasnt worked. Oh, carol, its. Its a real tragedy. Poor fella he cant see anything, he cant hear anything, think anything, hes just yeah, charlie, here i am. Bart found a ather one of them bottles he had stashed away and hes dead drunk and sick, too. Hes still s sing that same thing over and over im gonna kill em both, im gonna kill em both. Where is he now . Gave him that little treatment, put him in the female sawbones wagon. Then i come to tell you about it. Ill take care of him, major. I hope you can. Ho what do you want to do, major . Just keep the people back. Nothin they can do for em now. Sure never expected indian trouble in this part of the country. Major, this man is still alive. Are you sure . Hes still got a pulse. Can you do anything for him . Ill try. Get him insidede the circle, boys. Think hes got a chance . Ive done all i can. Doctor. I think i better tell you. We may be in for some real troubl i just dont understand it. Mcculloughs out there someplace, but of course, he could have passed through here before this happened do you think theres any possibility that he coululcome to long enough for us to learn anything about it . Ive given him caffeine, thats a stimulant for his heart. All we can do now is wait. Maam, i cant get that grover to eat. Ill shove it down this throat if you say so. No, i better see him. I brought you some stew. I know how you feel, but you have to eat. How could you know how i feel . Do you know what its like to have a belly that feels as if its full of feathers . You havent had any nourishment in days. Why . Please . No thanks. Mother. I dont know why i bother with you. I swear by apollo the physician, by aesculapius, hygeia, and panacea, and i take to witness all the gods, all the goddessese in every house where i enter, i will enterr only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional illdoing and seduction and especially from the plples of love with women or men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or outside of my profession or in daily commerce with men that should not be spread ababad if i keep this oath faithfully, may i enjoy my life and practice my art. Thats why you bother with me. To practice your art, doctor. Without a patient, how can you practice . Youre a fool the worst kind an educated fool. And ive taken all the insults i intend to take. Now, eat this, or ill go out and get some of the men if you want to help me, you get me a drink. If youre any kind of doctor at all, youll get me a drink. Lets stop playing games. I dont care what you think. Please. He hasnt moved. I think hes breathing easier, though. Seth, have you got any liquor . Well, yeah, but for him . No. Oh. Bart wants a drink, huh . I need a bottle right away. Well, youre not gonna get it. Ta know that as well as i do. Let him suffer it out hell get over it. If he gets too ornery, well just hogtie him. Weve done it before. You refuse to give it to me . I most certainly do. Must i remind you that hes a sick man . All right, hes a sick man. Youre the doctor, you get him well. But ill be goldarnene if im gonna let you try to cure fire with fire where that fella is concerned. Oh, carol, why dont you give up . Let us take care of bart. Quit worrying about him. Best cure i know of for a drunk is a set of wellplaced knuckles. Its much better than all your medicines and all your attention. Major, i havent got the time or the patience to hear your theories. I know youre the boss of this wagon train, bubuyouve got to have respect for me as a doctor. You can refuse to give me the liquor, but i think its only fair to warn you that youll be forcing me to use my limited supply of medical alcohol, which could endanger somebody elses life if they need it. Carol, will you listen sighs all right. There ya are. Just remember, this is your idea, not mine. Stop looking at me like that get out get out leave me alone whats the matter with you . Dont you understand that you and all women make me sick . a doctor a woman doctor ha ha or are you a woman . What are you . Youre nothing youre as nothing as i am get out. Get out bart get out leave me alone. Get out. Bill. Charlie. man groaning keep an eye on him, will ya . Doctor . Doctor yes . Hes coming to. Is he conscious . Not yet,t,ut you better come. Aaaaaah keep him down. Easy, easy. Now, relax. The indians are gone. Youre amongst friends. Can you hear me . The indians are gone and youre among friends. Can you tell us what happened . Can you hear me . Can you tell us what happened . A fight. Over indian girl. R. The chief. Big elk. Lord help usbig elk. Wheres. My brother . They killed him. They murdered him. Go get somomhelp and a couple of shovels. Yes, sir. Carol, you better try to get some rest. If we live through i i crack bart, what the devil are you doing out here . Lets get back to the wagons. You know, seth, the stars look different than when you look at them through the bottom of a bottle. A couple of white trappers have killed an indian chief. Weve got trouble real trouble. I can smell the dew on the dry grass rt, there are indians out here. E, they can smell you a mile away. If you dont listen to me and come on, youre gonna be seeing more stars than you ever saw in the bottom on a bottle. Now, come on. W ng borsuup . Huhthats funny been a long time since i cared whether the sun does come up. How long ago, seth. Was the war over . What . Six years, bart. Six years. Six years . Unless flints too far out ahead of us, chances are he knows about this indian flareup. If he does, and if nothing had happened to him, why, hes probably headed on to fort stad. And no use talking about going back at all were closer to fort stad than we are anyplace else. He gets through,h, well have little to worry about. I sure hope he gets through. Well, good morning, doctor. Will ya . Were gonna pull out as soon as we can. Rig your wagons for battle. Tell every single driver to keep up close and to circle up at the first sign of i iian attack. I dont care if they hear the order or not circle up and get ready for a fight. Any wagon pulls out of line, we havent got time to stop and pick em up, pull em back in again. Is that clear . Indians let em try and touch me take cover stand fast make no move that looks like resistance no firing whatsoever unless i give the order get me a whwhe rag on a stick. All that talk about resistance them indians are here to fight, not talk. E arli but im gogotry k major, are you sure this is the right thing to do . Miss m ashame dont even know your first name. Calling you doctor after what happened last night doesnt sese right. What i mean is what im trying to say is well, its difficult its impossible if i call you doctor. Its carol. Carol. I, uh. And its important that ihould tell you. I think i know. Well, folks, were in luck so far. Happens to be a friend of mine. That wouldnt t ve made any difference except for one thing big elk is still alive. White feather wants an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, so ive made a deal with him. Im going back to their village with them and try to save big elks life. How badly is he wounded . I dont know, doctor, except they told me at had a bullet right here. Oh, they did s one thing, yes that the wound was all full of evil spirits, which means that its infected. Is get the bullet out and cauterize the wound that bullet could be in his lung or close to his heart. I realize that, but its a gamble i had totoake. Its the only chance we had. I can perform the operation. You sure can, doctor. But its dangerous going back with those indians. Im willing. All right, doc. Youre not gonna get any argument out of me on that score. As far as im concerned, youre the boss of the surgical department. I just hope youre a good doctor, cause if theres anything i dont want to be, its a dead hero. Charlie, go get her a horse. Bill, you know, there not gonna let you move this train out of here if flint comes back with any troopop dont let them or anybody else make any issue of it until you know exactly our circumstances. Clear . Yes, sir. Seth. If anything happens to her. And the indians donkill you,. How bad is it, carol . Think hes got a chance . I dont understand it the wounds infected, but its not as bad as i thought it would be. The bullet must have struck this big rib and deflected. And if thats the case, it could he penetrated the pericardial sac. What are you gonna do . Well, i havent got a choice, seth. Ive got to open up that area. You keep him as immobile as you can. Hell probably lose consciousness, but in the meantnte hes gonna feel a great deal of pain. You dont have to worry about that. He may feel the pain, bubuhe wont move a muscle not this old fella. All right. Hand me that scalpel, the one on the end. Whats happening . Oh, lord. He wants me to do it. I forgot about that some of these tribes have real strict rules. They wont let a woman be a medicine man. Wed be fighting a tradition of over a hundred years. We just havent got a chance, carol. They wont let you do it. Well, then, youre gonna have to do it. Listen, in the army i helped amputate legs and things like that, but this is too delicate, i cant do this. You have no choice you have to. Carol you can do it if youll do just exactly as i tell you. All right. Now take the scalpel just barely cut it, and make an incision from there to there. Right here . Yeah. Now, easy. Thats it. Easy. Light. Thats it. Now. Now take this and clamp it onto the skin right here. Here . Just the very edge. Own. Let your instrument lay. Here . Yes. Now take your scalpel again and cut into that muscle right there. Cut the muscle . Just enough so you can separate it. Right here . Thats right. Thats enough. Thatsthats it. Now separate it and see easily. Dont tear it, just move them apart. Well, it did hit that big rib. There are the splinters. There it is, seth. There. Do you see it . Yeah. Now, seth, take this instrument this is what youre going after the bullet with and go right down intotohe wound. Easy. Take it very gently. Does it feel like youre hitting metal there . Yeah, i feel it. All ght. Now, very easily turn your turn your probe thats right, easily so that you feel that youre surrounding it. Like that . Thats right. All right. Have you done it . Now clamp it. There. Now, seth, youre going to bring the bullet out youre going to bring the bullet out very slowly, but straight up, pulling it. All right . exhales well, youve done it, seth. This mans got a chance. Do you think you can make them understand that . s no use telling them anything. They believe what they see, and thth old fellows alive. Its a good thing he is, or we wouldnt be. Im sure glad i gave you that whwhkey. coughing bill, this grover is making me nervous walking up and down like a wildcat in a cage ever since they left. Well, i know how he feels, charlie. You know, you dont have any brains at all were in a lot of trouble. Even if dr. Willoughbys lucky enough to get big elk all patched up, they been gone too long, and were running out of time and chance. Maybe im not very bright, but im smart enough to know this if we dont get grover a bottle, hes liable to go berserk. And d a man ever had an excuse to get drunk, hes got one, and so have we. Ill go get the juju pretty good stuff. Well, does it help any . Sure did. Look. Well, ill be darned seth pull that team of mules up here you dont have to stay so close up together now, major. But stay in line. Dr. Willoughby wants to talk to you immediately. Oh . . What does she want . She wants to see you. I saw you talking to bart. Whats the matter with him, do you know . Think hes got t tt glint in his eye for a bottle . I dont think youre gonna have to worry about anymore. Bartrt found himself. He knows what he wants. Yeah. I know what he wants, too. He wants you. Well, yes, he he wanted me. And it pained me to have to tell him that that could never be. You see, the mosos important thing for bart was to find someone to love again. Oh, carol, youre wasting seth, im not going on with you. You big elk is going to need medical attention for at least two weeks, and ive got to stayayere and see that he pulls through. Two weeks . i cant hold up this train for two hours, let alone two weeks i dont expect you to. Where did you get this idea now . This morning you were just as happy to get out of that teepee as i was. I came out of that teepee thinking only as a woman. When i got to thinking about what we had done, two things etched in my mind one, admiration for your fortitude, but shame for me that i would walk out on a sick man who really needs my help. So now youre changing your mind again, huh . Youre getting just like a woman again, huh . Just a couple of days ago wild horses couldnt have stopped you from fulfilling your mission to silver creek, and now, just because of some ungrateful redskin, youre going to throw your whole you are as stubborn as you are strong. How you gonna get therer i dont know how im going to get there. If i could persuade you, i can certainly persuade White Feather to get me there safely. And theres one other thing dont ever forget this i took an oath once, and im never going to give it up. You said it once yourself, seth seth wagons. Ho . Roll along . . Wagon train . .
