Man in sling enters, greets other man and sits down next to him and picks up magazine to read. Woman doctor calls in man who was there first. Shot of woman coming into waiting room, man with sling greets her but she looks stern and doesn't reply. She sits down next to him. The first patient comes out of doctor's office and the woman goes in. The man with the sling looks perplexed and moves his seat to one next to doctor's office. Another man enters the waiting room and sits down next to man with sling. Man with sling is looking fed up and frustrated. Woman leaves doctor's office and and both men stand up and the man with the sling pushes other man down onto his seat. Woman comes out of office again; both men get up and on this occasion the second man goes into the doctor's office. Man with sling picks up a magazine to read while another man walks into waiting room smoking a pipe. Man with sling looks up at sign that says "No Smoking. Cancer Control in Progress". The pipe smoking man has so much smoke around him he doesn't notice sign and man with sling waves the smoke with a magazine. Man with sling gets up, opens window and when he looks back another new man has sat down in the waiting room in his seat. The man with the pipe is exiting the doctor's office and the other man goes into the doctor's office. Man with sling sits back down on chair next to doctor's office door. Woman in leather jacket enters the waiting room, smiles at man with sling. He looks on approvingly and she sits down next to him. He smiles, removes his glasses and looks at her legs. New shot: the man leaves the doctor's office and man with sling stands up to go into doctor's office but stands back to let woman go first. He sits down again with smile on his face. She exits doctor's office, they smile at each other. Doctor comes out of her office and summons man in sling in. He takes his arm out of the sling and walks off after the woman.
