Anyway, you just watch and see if I'm not right.
This is gonna be one incredible day.
Just how did you figure that out from your horoscope?
Listen, I'm serious.
It's a scientific proven fact that as far as accidents
and things like that are concerned,
some days are just worse than others.
Maybe it's the air or whatever, but there are days
when people just seem to freak out all over the place.
Well, assuming you're right, what makes you think
that today is one of those days?
A bunch of things.
Like what, for example?
Like the fact that...

Lady parachutist missed the field by a mile.

How do you feel, ma'am?
I hurt all over, including my pride.
Yes, ma'am. Well, what about your back?
It feels terrible.
Well, here. We'll just have to cut some of this line away.
No, you won't.
Do you know how much this rig costs? Don't you dare cut it.
Well, ma'am, how are we gonna get down?
You figure it out.
That's what you're paid for, isn't it?
What's the condition, Johnny?
Well, back pain.
She's got feeling and movement.
I'm gonna have to clear some of this nylon.
You need me up there?
No.
I'll go up here. You'll just have to wait for the ladder.
Now...
That scissors away.
Pull the cover down and squeeze.
Here?
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Hurry.
I'm signed up for three more.
First, I've got to get that nearsighted pilot
a new pair of goggles.
Twice in a row he's dropped me short.
Men, pilots.
We're gonna need a ladder.
You fellow step back, please.
Come on. Stand clear.
Here come the ladders. Look out.
Well, reinforcements.
It's about time, too.
Let me take some of that weight off you.
Okay.
No! I don't know!
What did you do that for?
We're trying to get you down from here.
You just cost me a $3 repack.
I'll tell you what. We'll split it with you.
We're here!
We're here!
We're here!
Hands up.
This can't be helping.
It's a broken... broken limb.
Unless you broke when you hit.
Gonna need this off.
Ouch!
It's about second or third lumbar.
No penetration.
Must be pressing on a nerve.
Ouch!
Now, that's where it hurts.
Well, can you describe the pain?
Like a cramp.
Charlie hooks.
Charlie hooks.
It doesn't hurt anymore.
Not at all?
I'm okay!
You sure you're okay?
Now, wait a minute.
I'm not too sure you might have broken something.
Impossible! I can move! Look!
Hang on, honey.
Time for one more before lunch.
One of you boys would get my mane for me.
Hey, don't you think you'd better call it quits today?
Quit? Give up jumping?
This is the closest I've been to that target in 94 jumps.
Hey, would you throw down my helmet for me?
Thanks.
Now, do you believe me?
About what?
About what a weird day this is.
You gotta admit, that was a pretty stupid accident back there.
You gotta admit that things like that don't happen too often.

Hey, Dad.
Dad, I'm sorry.
Well, this is 120 and a regular.
We better get the patches on it.
What happened?
It was my fault.
I shamed him into it.
Did your father have a history of heart disease?
No.
We were just jogging.
Too fast, I guess.
He had a pain in his chest.
Dad?
Sorry.
Yeah, we're gonna put this on.

51, send me a strip.
10-4.
Looks like he's coming around.
I'll go have a word with his wife.
Stat, IDENT doctor.
Mr.
Mrs. Litton, I'm Dr. Brackett.
How is my husband, doctor?
We'll know more in a little while.
Wally said he's had a heart attack.
Is that right? Is it?
Is it his heart?
I'm afraid so.
Will he be all right?
There's every possibility of that, Mrs. Litton.
Now, if you'll just sit down, we'll have some more news in a few minutes.
Was it his weight that caused it?
Or was it the exercise?
A combination.
Plus me.
And I'll be the one who's killed him if he dies.
Don't talk like that.
It was just an accident, a stupid accident.
Most accidents are stupid, Mia.
If your husband had taken into consideration his age and physical condition.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Like some days I know.
You guys haven't one of those, too.
We sure are. Did Johnny tell you about the skydiver we found in the tree?
No, but I got a beaut.
Lady came in this morning predicting she was about to have an appendicitis attack.
And did.
Could be the moon.
Whatever it is, I'm hungry. Let's go to lunch.
With all its skill and resources, medical science is sure to figure it out.
Uh-uh.
Well, he's looking better.
Let me know as soon as we get the lab report.
Right.
Have Joe take a look at him, too, on the dicks.
Dr. Hoffman, 64.
How is he?
Will he be all right?
I think so.
I think so.
65.
I think he's out of immediate danger.
All we can do is wait.
Better move into intensive care.
Dr. Early, there's a lady out here who's threatening to sue the county if we don't let her go home.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Oh, Miss McCall, I'm Dr. Bracket, nature on four right away.
I'll get out of here yet. Oh, Duke, are you a doctor?
Listen, it's certainly time somebody sent for a doctor.
Would you please let me go?
Doctor, there's absolutely nothing wrong with me.
It's just a sprain.
Yes, ma'am. What sprain?
Don't mam me. It's my ankle.
Of course. Let's have a look.
This is Mrs. Bernadine Spalding. This is Dr. Early.
Doctor, have you got the authority to release me, or are you just another one of them students?
Let's have a look first, ma'am.
There you go again. How would you like it if I was calling you Mr. all the time?
Now, I am telling you, doctor, there is absolutely nothing wrong with me.
I simply fell and twisted my ankle while... while...
While?
Well...
She was dancing.
Yes, dancing. It's my birthday, and I guess I can dance if I want to.
Of course, Mrs. Spalding. And congratulations on your birthday, I mean.
Oh, thank you. I'm 80.
No.
And I feel just perfect. Look, I can still do my high kicks.
Oh, but please let me go. I want to get back to my party.
Considerable swelling.
Oh.
Oh.
Now, does this hurt?
No. Does it hurt?
How about when I turn it this way?
No.
Did Dr. Bracka get x-rays?
Not yet.
Well, that's what we're going to have to do, Mrs. Spalding.
X-ray your ankle to make sure everything's all right.
Oh.
It won't hurt a bit.
It isn't the hurt. It's my party.
Don't you understand that I'm the guest of honor?
How can they celebrate with me in this really institution?
Where's that telephone?
We'll get to a phone soon enough. Don't worry. Notify x-ray.
I'm allowed one call, you know.
Yes, ma'am. We go strictly by the book here.
You better, doctor, or I'll throw the book right at you.
Can I have a doctor in...
Can I have a doctor in...
Are they going to give me a room of my own?
Are you free?
Depends.
Do you mind solving the problem I have in five?
We don't.
Has his annual meeting this afternoon.
Big speech to deliver.
But he can't say a word.
He's been hiccuping since yesterday.
Hiccups.
I think we're having the same kind of a day as the fire department.
I did.
I did.
Oh, sweetheart.
Darling.
This is Dr. Brackett, a Mr. Merkel and his wife, Mrs. Merkel.
How do you do?
You do.
You gotta help me, Doc. You gotta help me get rid of these damn hiccups.
All right, just relax, Mr. Merkel. Don't try to talk.
Lie back, please.
Just lie down, Dr. Merkel.
I'm sorry.
Try to breathe slowly and as deeply as you can.
When did they start?
Last night. Stop them, please.
What did he have for dinner?
We had dinner at my mother's house.
They haven't found a name for it yet.
I don't know.
Prepare some chlorpromazine. 25 milligrams, I am.
Have you had a recent operation?
No.
History of heart trouble?
No.
How about liver problems?
I'm sorry.
Were you drinking last night?
I just wish I had been.
What about pachyotitis?
Hernia?
Have you had an ulcer?
Sorry.
What about inhalation therapy?
Let's try this first.
It's just a sedation.
It'll help him to relax.
Relax? I can't afford to relax.
What time is it?
Don't think about that.
But don't let them put me to sleep.
You...
Sleep.
I'm afraid that's what you're gonna have to do, Mr. Merkel.
Give your phrenic nerves time to unwind.
But what do they do without me?
They're depending on me.
Well, they can't use you in this condition, Mr. Merkel.
Except for a metronome.
You just try and take it easy.
Listen, Mr. Perl, my mother's cooking.
What did you say?
Honestly, it's out of the question.
But it's also her 80th birthday.
And it's about time you divulged where she's at.
Mrs. Spaulding's personal birthday party.
Are you in command here?
Most of the time.
I'm not sure about today, though.
We need a private room.
And money is no object.
Al, I'm sorry. She's still in emergency.
We have to get an x-ray of her ankle.
Dr. Allen, 60th...
We shall wait.
Yes, get cracking.
Yes, ma'am.
Would you mind waiting in the waiting room, please?
Come on.
I'm waiting.
That, identical objects.
I don't know what it is with today, do you?
Uh-huh.
It's what we call a scientific enigma.
I guess we only have one hope.
Eventually, it'll be tomorrow.
Maybe if we just stayed calm,
the world won't know we're here.
The dispatcher can find us anywhere.
Maybe we could hide in the hospital.
Why would the hospital be safe?
How would you two like to take a fire prevention run
and go down and check out some electrical wiring?
Cap, on a day like today, we'd get electrocuted.
A little joke might do you some good.
Get you back on your feet, at least.
Cap, you would not believe the kind of day we're having.
You're right.
We've got over 17 hours left to go.
Gage, you just naturally exaggerate everything.
Today is no worse than any other day.

Exaggerate, huh?
Come on.
This way, men.
Freezer's in the back.
Can't let him get away with it.
He's too young.
He's probably gone, but now it's been at least 10 minutes.
Where are his parents?
Al Capulco.
Said he was putting himself on ice to the world in Peru.
A real genius.
Now, don't go putting him down.
He's just young.
He's studying almost a year.
He knows all about hibernation.
He'd better.
You'd better get some blankets.
Blankets.
Yeah, okay.
Sure thought of everything.
Where do you want it?
Put it right down here.
Put it down there.
Pulse is 100.
There's no cyanosis.
Breathing sounds fine.
This thing couldn't have been airtight.
Ralph knows how to suppress his breathing.
He sure does.
He's been out to find him in the pool over four minutes lots of times.
Let's just hope he goes swimming again.
His mother will murder him when she sees her freezer.
Respirations is about 15.
Strong and regular.
Blood pressure's 120 over 80.
He's fine.
Let's wrap him up.
What have you got?
A freezer victim, but we got him out in time.
Well, let's figure it's a day like today.
Shall I cancel the ambulance?
Yeah, please.
Right.
What?
What year?
What year is this?
Same one, man.
You blew it, Ralph.
You just can't win, buddy.
On a day like this, who can?
Breathing sounds fine.
Wouldn't be a bad thing to know.
They do it in the Himalayas.
If you prepare yourself right, you can save yourself in and out anytime.
I can see how you'd go in, but I wonder how you'd get out.
Yeah, that could be a problem.
Want to bet how long we got before it goes off again?
No, but I'll give you a chance. It'll be something peculiar.
You feel like a coffee?
Now who's got time for coffee?
You know, Johnny, you're really letting this day get to you.
Squad 51, Snakebite, Mitchell Park Golf Course, East Gate.
Cross Street, Wellesdon, Isle of 1533.
What happened?
A girl named Penny Finch.
She was playing golf and went into the brush to recover her ball,
and a rattler got her, or so she says.
We put a blanket under her.
How long ago?
15 minutes, near as I can figure.
He's not looking good.
I'll bet. Give me a hand, will you?
Sure.
Where'd it get you, Miss Finch?
Right here. Sure hurts.
Ambulance is on the way. I'll go back and wait for you.
All right. Thanks for the help.
Anytime.
The color's bad.
Well, the rate's up. It's 120, regular, but weak.
Oh. Thank you.
You just hold that on your face for me.
You're not gonna cut me.
You'll hardly feel it.
Rampart, this is rescue 51.
Sizing it will allow us to draw some of the venom out.
Blood pressure's 100 over 50.
The O2 isn't working.
She's going into cardiovascular collapse.
Raise her head.
The stuff must have injected right into her vein or artery.
51, this is Rampart. Go ahead.
Rampart, we have a rattlesnake victim.
Female, approximately 28, medium build, 120 pounds.
Vital signs, respiration 15.
Well, hold it. It's changed.
Blood pressure's 90 over 40.
Pulse rate is 130.
Still regular, but weak.
Blood pressure 90 over 40.
Pulse 130, regular, but weak.
She's currently unresponsive and cyanotic.
We have her on five liters of oxygen.
51, how long ago and where's the bite?
20 minutes ago. It's on the calf of her leg.
Sounds like the venom's already in the circulatory system.
I'll get the pharmacy going on the antivenom.
51, establish an IV route at once.
D5W to keep open. Piggy back and aramine drip.
Continue oxygen. Transport as soon as you can.
10-4.
We've set up the core.
Typer fast. Also CBC in your analysis.
You may have gotten her here in time.
Set oxygen for five liters.
This is Dixie McCoy.
Are you ready with that antivenom and treatment for her?
BP's 100 over 50.
Increase drip rate on aramine.
Complete workup, fast as you can.
I'll be right back.
Complete workup, fast as you can.
I'll need it in five minutes.
Never happened. They told me a half an hour.
This girl could be in the morgue in a half an hour.
So I'll talk nice to him.
Ready, Dix?
Ready.
I'll be right back.
It's up to her now.
She looks pretty tough.
Where is she?
We know she's here, young man.
Alone on her birthday.
And it may be her very last birthday.
And if we don't find out where she is...
We're going straight to the top.
Who are you?
Oh, well, he's closer to the top than I am.
Very well.
Where is Bernadine?
Thank you.
Thank you, young man.
How is Penny?
It's up to the anti-venom and Dr. Brackett.
Now, do you believe me what kind of a date this is turning out to be?
I think it's mostly your imagination.
Mine or the victim's?
You just got to convince me, don't you?
Miss Jones, reception, please.
Oh, excuse me.
What happened?
A foot full of little holes.
Drop the shotgun.
Squad 51 available.
Squad 51.
You know, I still don't think we should have gone available.
We should go home and hide before some ridiculous accident happens to us.
Patrol 2, call your office.
Patrol 3, call station.
Come on, get up.
Come on.
Hey, you guys want to give me a hand?
What did he got?
Give me the five.
What's wrong?
I don't know yet.
Help me, please.
Where does it hurt?
Can you describe the pain?
Give up, Doc.
You don't speak a word.
Get an IV ready and patch him.
What does he speak?
Do you know?
I don't know.
He's on sale or off some foreign ship, I think.
Well, what happened?
Well, we were just...
Well, what I mean is, you see, he...
Well, look, all I did was...
Oh, I don't know.
Look, all of a sudden he just started yelling.
And then he couldn't breathe.
And all of a sudden it looked like his arms were hurting him.
Chest pain?
How long have you known him?
What was he doing at the time?
We'll start the IV.
D5W to keep open.
And 12-lead EKG.
Come and pick up me.
Is he orthophonic?
He said it was five liters.
Not here, please.
Typhoid, typhoid,
rate 50.
Let's get an atropine, five milligrams, an IV push.
Great.
Hey, why is that thing bouncing up and down?
Be glad it is.
Let's get a set of bloods on him.
How's he doing?
Hmm.
Complete workup.
162 over 100.
What do you see?
Significant elevations in leads two, three, and AVF.
Looks like an inferior MI.
Wish we could get his history.
Don't you have any idea where he's from?
I can't even pronounce his real name.
I call him Freddy.
What do you think he is?
He acts like a German.
What does he do?
Blas español.
Oh, mamma.
We'll need x-rays.
Right away.
Do you know if he was taking any medication?
Not with me, he wasn't.
It's worse.
It's worse.
I know I'm going to die.
It's not good to help me.
I can't live without you.
No one can help you.
What are you talking about?
Where did all this happen?
Ask him what happened.
What happened?
Someone who speaks Greek.
Ask my old ears.
Well, as long as he's got somebody to talk to,
I guess I'll split.
No one can help me.
Ask my old ears.
Bye, Freddy.
How did that happen?
His wrist, doctor, and...
I can't breathe.
He can't breathe.
Ask him where it hurts.
Where does it hurt?
Only the wrist, doctor.
Where did all this happen?
I can't tell you.
You can't tell me.
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, room 420.
Room 420!
There we go!
Come on!
Come on!
Let's all go together.
Come on!
Let's all go together.
Come on.
Come on.
Get yourself carefully now.
In a close game like this...
I'll do it again.
Jackson checks the crab.
Turn, faces the batter.
He stretches.
And Jones drives it to right field.
Over the first base, the top stretch.
I found you!
Quiet!
It's the bottom of the night!
What in the world?
Happy birthday!
Oh, happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
There's some perfume I hope you like.
Oh, my!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
Oh, my God!
There we are!
The champagne, darling!
Let's give the party started!
Let's give it to her first.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, boys!
Happy birthday to me!

Yeah, we know how it feels.
Headquarters two, your destination at ETA.
Want some coffee?
How fast are you?
Squad 51, par over the embankment.
We're going to get you.
Par over the embankment.
That's a long way down.
Suppose he made it to the bottom?
Not much to stop him once he goes off.
I wonder what he was driving.
A tank, I hope.
Hurry.
He's probably dead by now or worse.
Calm down, Mr. Hartley.
Can you get him?
My husband, he just...
No.
Hartley, please.
Hurry.
Please hurry.
My husband.
Brakes must have failed.
Wife says he's a rotten driver.
Maybe she's got a point.
Is there any way down there?
Fire brake.
I have an ambulance on the way.
I can't wait. I'm going down.
I'll anchor you.
Italian 13, squad 209, it's 10-7 at sea.
Hurry.
Johnny, you need a spanner?
Thanks.
Squad three, what is your status?
Better watch out.
I'll get the heavy stuff.
Hey, easy.
Will you take it easy?
Johnny, are you all right?
Yeah.
Will you just stay where you are and don't try to move?
I don't think I can.
We're going to need a stoke stretcher down there.
Maybe two, right?
Break out the rope with the
anticipate operation,
and then put me in control of my
someone.
All right.
We'll need a stokes.
What do you earn?
Knee. I twisted it, I hope.
Is anything broken?
I don't think so. I didn't hear anything.
You want to see to him?
Can you hear me?
Who are you?
Are you alright?
Take your hands off!
See what you did?
Are you hurt anywhere?
Is that my house?
Some kind of a ride I had.
Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?
I don't feel nothing. I feel good.
You just stay there. I'll be right back.
Wait, you gotta smoke.
Alright.
Not a scratch.
Nothing.
He's plastered.
He's plastered? Stinking.
He's stinking?
Well, at least he knows how to handle days like today.
