Irreplaceable

Lie down with your head here, please.

Don't worry, it won't hurt.

Jean-Pierre...

Understand what I just told you?

Left temporal tumor.

Inoperable.

Sorry, I wanted to make sure you understood.

Best-case scenario, can I make it with chemo?

Yes.

You'll need a replacement.

Stop work to stand a chance of beating it.

You have a spot.

Of ink or coffee, here...

'tug mg!

Let's get undressed.

We'll take a look at you.

I told you, Mr Gaucher.

You should dress more simply when I come.

- Hello, doctor. - Hello.

What happened?

I got stuck in the cattle locking yoke.

I can't bend my hand.

Turn the TV down.

Whose are the blue and red trainers?

Enzo's.

Is he here?

I can get him.

Now the other.

All right.

Something wrong?

No, nothing serious.

I'd just like him to have a lumbar x-ray.

There may be a slight imbalance.

My trousers too?

Don't piss me off!

Get lost!

300 liters.

Let me see...

- They billed you for 500. - I know!

Does your gauge work?

I've no idea.

Your dad always checked by putting

a stick in the tank.

Where's the stick?

Your tank's full to the brim, Mum.

It's the gauge that's not working.

I know, I'm late.

Santana...

You need to realize you'll be living on 720 euros a month.

- How much is your rent? - 455 euros.

- How'll you manage? - No idea.

You won't have much left over.

Your employer may be able to help.

You're entitled to wage benefit.

I'm making no promises...

I'll write a letter

for the local social worker.

All right.

The lady's name is...

Mrs...

Le...

bre...

ton.

Mrs Lebreton. You'll recognize the letters?

No drawer sign...

That doesn't hurt.

That's it, right there.

The interior meniscus.

That's good.

Two more centimetres.

You're straightening up, gaining confidence.

Good!

Stop or I'll start blubbing like last week.

Don't worry, I have plenty of tissues.

Undress so I can examine you.

We're going to make it.

When you're in the midst of a depression

and you think you're worthless, it's tough.

You're doing well.

You have projects, your driving test...

You're looking to the future.

The pills won't cure you.

I know who'll pull you through.

You will.

Thank you, doctor.

Good bye.

Excuse me...

I'm Nathalie Delezia.

Come in.

Have a seat.

Good evening.

Let's hurry. It's 8:30 and I just refused someone.

So, what's the problem?

Dr Norés didn't let you know?

He said you need someone to work with you.

- You're a doctor? - Yes.

Ever worked in a country practice?

No.

- In town? - At a hospital.

You've never done a replacement?

I just graduated.

Medicine is long, but you must have redone a few years.

I started late. I was a nurse for ten years.

Really?

After my thesis,

I worked at the Mantes ER in the meantime.

In the meantime?

Before moving to the country.

Hospital's not my thing.

Nores told you I needed someone?

Did he say anything else?

No...

I know the area. I spent holidays at my father's place in Thorigny.

Working here and spending holidays isn't the same thing.

It's not?

You're an idealist, hmm?

If you say so.

Country doctor isn't a trade you can learn.

I'm here because of a headache.

The pain began two weeks ago. I can't remember how.

Fairly suddenly, I think.

But in the evening, I'd...

Is the pain there all day?

- The morning mostly. - On waking.

My head aches when I get up but...

So mostly on waking.

Is the pain on one side? Front or back?

It depends.

It's usually at the front but...

At the front then.

Mostly at the front.

All right.

I'll examine you.

You're doing both the questions and answers.

Wasn't she leading you, Nicolas?

What were you about to say when she interrupted the first time?

You said, "The pain began two weeks ago,

I don't know how, but in the evening

I'd..."

I'd started the new treatment for my diabetes.

I'll examine you.

A doctor interrupts a patient every 22 seconds on average.

The secret is to let them talk.

90% of the diagnosis is provided by the patient.

- Can I put some music on? - No.

Go on your own.

What is it?

Mr Jallet, I'm Dr Delezia.

Where's Werner?

In consultations. I'm doing his calls today.

Can he come tomorrow?

He trusts me, you know. He sent me here.

I'd rather see the doctor.

Quite frankly...

I'm surprised. Jallet is usually a nice fellow. Really.

Some people can be moody, but him...

I don't understand.

Try it alone again. I'll make a call and join you.

What are those ducks?

Yes, all right.

What ducks?

There! Didn't you see them attack me?

They're not ducks, they're ganders, male geese.

I got attacked once too. 22 stitches.

You have to humiliate them.

How do you mean?

You stuff their beak up their ass.

It humiliates them and they back off.

The beak up the ass.

- It's risky, but worth it. - I get it.

What?

Why are you giving me a hard time?

Get lost, stop pissing me off!

Get lost or I'll have you for dinner!

That's my son's. He's studying architecture.

He's on Von Leron's team.

He did the Madrid opera. Know him?

No.

Medicine wasn't his thing?

Being a doctor here is 24/7. That soon put him off.

He followed his mother to Paris.

Tomorrow,

I can do house calls and you consultations.

But I start at 7 tomorrow. If you want to come, you can.

All right.

See you tomorrow.

Fanny, can you move the dog to let us in?

I'm a nurse, not a vet.

How is he today?

He hasn't eaten much.

I did the LMWH and took a blood sample for you.

His temperature's up to 38°C.

Gently.

Turn.

Sit down.

Give me that...

Do you feel all right?

- Jean-Pierre? - Yes. How do you feel?

This is Dr Delezia.

She works with me.
