The Cardiologist

When I first shared this script in 2007, as now, it was based on a book written by a cardiologist who said that businessmen frequently screamed in terror when faced with death on the operating table. What type of person did the businessmen of broadcasting change my dying advertising executive to when they stole this script and plagiarized its content for television? A serial killer? That's not a businessman. That should show you the unholy evil of these broadcasters. And how confusing for my readers! I'm glad that at least I know the true meaning of my content because all the TV has ever done is lie to the whole world about it. Doctor Grimm was a cardiologist who epitomized the true professional. (Grimm's office. A dying patient applies for treatment.) Patient: Can you help me, doc? Grimm: How many episodes have you had? Patient: Just one. Grimm: That should be just inside your price range. Patient: (Relieved) Praise God! How much will it cost? Grimm: Seventy-five thousand dollars. (The patient gasps and clutches his chest.) Now I can't help you. He tried to make his life saving resources available to the highest number. (An auction.) Grimm: Okay, we have eighty-six bidders and only one heart available for transplant. Who would like to start the bidding? Yes, you. Bidder: How would you like to own your own hospital? Grimm: In the Florida Keys? His experiences with dying patients gave him a profound faith in the afterlife. (An operating room. A patient is wheeled in for surgery.) Grimm: Who's this? Nurse: The rich advertising executive. (Grimm peels off a stretch of duct tape and seals the patient's mouth with it.) Why are you doing that? Grimm: To silence his screams when he sees where he's going. Hell is where the heart is tonight on the Cardiologist.
