Aning)

yeah, we should go down there. they got him.

No, we should go down there. They got him.

They've got him. Third time's the charm.

please, stay in the boat! A new shipment's arriving today.

Ah, just what we need-- more cocky imperialist doctors.

No, what we need is new blood.

I'm sick of looking at the two of you.

Baby docs are all the same. They don't give a crap

About the work. They're just padding their résumés

With a little third-world do-gooding-- let 'em. I just need one good one.

help me! get in the boat!

They're gonna drown his ass. Okay, so maybe they don't got him.

I'll open up the clinic.

Why's he gotta be such a show-off?

There are worse places to practice medicine, papito.

Don't I know it.

*

This is it.

Señorita, when you're ready to go back to the airport,

You call me, okay?

Oh, thank you, but that won't be necessary.

This is a one-way trip.

You're here to work at the clinic? Yeah, I'm a doctor.

Take the card.

He's right. You should definitely take the card.

Al aeropuerto, por favor.

okay, hijo, now this might hurt just a little.

Hi. Um, I'm supposed to check in with a doctor...

Zee-tah-le-har...

Ah, goody, another american. Saved by the great white hope.

I'm sorry?

Dr. Zitajalehrena alvarez.

Zee. Oh!

Why don't you drop those bags and go see if you can help? Okay.

please, stop!

Aah! Aah!

Whoa! Is that a-- one ugly-ass fish.

That is not just a fish. That's a stingray. No! No! No!

Their venom is particularly potent.

What, are you a vet or something? Infectious disease.

I- I'm mina minard.

Lily brenner, emergency med.

Tommy fuller, plastics. I need you to stay still, buddy.

Try staying still with a fish inside your body!

I need drugs, man! Sorry. I don't have drugs for you.

What kind of crazy-ass witch doctor

Doesn't have drugs?! The kind that survives on donations.

Now there's a box on your way out.

Hi. We're the new doctors. What can we do?

Hold his shoulders. Brace his legs. no, no, get-- get the hell away from me! Uhh!

Sit down. Grab his foot.

Okay, on the count of three. One, two--

Uhh! No! No! No!

No. No.

All right, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look at that.

Aah! Aah!

Uhh!

Welcome, doctors.

Okay, we're the only medical center with 200 miles.

We're slammed all the time.

do you have a surgical suite? On the patio.

how do you keep it sterile? When you got a guy bitten by a 10-foot crocodile,

You get the teeth out. You worry about infection later.

Forget what you saw in residency.

Practicing tropical medicine in a third-world country

Is a different game.

Here, it's 1952.

You don't have high tech. You don't have big pharma.

You have your brain. You have your instincts.

You use them well, you'll learn more here in a week

Than doctors learn in a year of residency.

And you're standing in the middle

Of the greatest medical resource on earth.

This is the tropical rain forest.

Here, we have plants to cure viruses,

Tree sap to heal wounds, insects that stop gangrene.

And this is where medicine was born. You up for it?

Great,

'cause out of hundreds of doctors, I picked you three.

So don't screw it up, is what he's trying to say.

Dr. Otis cole. His bark's worse than is bite.

Okay, um, they're both pretty bad.

When in doubt, hand out ibuprofen.

Dr. C-cole?

I-- we've been traveling for days.

Before we get started, is it cool if we hit the beach?

You know, get our swim on.

Hey, ladies, dr. Otis cole just personally asked me

To look after one of his patients.

You realize we're objectifying

One of the greatest humanitarians of our time?

Just admiring his credentials.

This place is awesome. Not only are there no malpractice suits,

But there's surfing.

And you know how many days a year it's sunny here?

All of them. Oh, oh, oh. Sunblock.

I got you guys some samples from the office. Aw, that's really nice.

thank you. Yeah, I think there's, like, three topless beaches

Right around here, and you do not want those to shrivel up

Before their time. I've seen it happen. It's... It's tragic.

Ugh. All right. I'll see you guys later.

Going on a house call. This is gonna be so cool.

You brought your own trauma kit?

Well, I figured for the jungle, you need flares, tourniquets,

Field splints. Girl scout.

So guilty.

Hey, you lost?

Ah, english. Hey.

Uh, do you have any idea where this village is?

They said it's near a river,

But there's, like, 80 rivers on this thing.

Really, you getting stuck on a house call on your first day?

You must have pissed off cole. Oh, no, no, no.

It's not like that. He's trusting me with one-- mm-hmm.

Who are you? I'm charlie. I'm the translator for the clinic.

How old are you? Trece.

I... If you don't know what that means,

I think you might need my help.

Dr. Cole said the patient has t.B.

I'm not gonna expose a kid to that. You're right. I'm sure you'll find your way

Over a treacherous mountain range

To a very remote village just fine.

Uh, hey, wait, wait.

You might wanna bring some water. It's a walk.

I can handle a walk.

Wrong way.

Come on, gringo.

"gringo"? What's gringo? It means "white person."

Ladies, I have 40 patients waiting to be seen.

Not to mention, I'm down another doctor.

Oh, is that the woman I saw leaving today?

She seemed really upset. Radio distress call just came in.

We got an injury in the jungle.

I could use another hand out there

If you don't mind being short a doctor. I could go.

I'm ready. Why not?

They seem to be dropping like flies today anyway. I'm trained in triage protocol.

Oh. Me, too, and I've got a trauma kit already packed. Okay, well,

You just got yourself your first field trip. Come on.

So this is how you, uh, get around?

It's better for jungle roads...

If you can call 'em that.

Okay, let's do this.

Doctor, you hang on like that, you're roadkill.

aah!

Dr. Minard, what, um, what-- what are you doing?

Patient presented with limb stiffness and numbness.

I did a full body check for lesions.

And I don't wanna alarm you, but I haven't been able

To rule out hemorrhagic fever. ¿es el brazo izquierdo otra vez?

Igual que antes.

Mm.

Tenga.

Gracias, doctor.

It's, uh... Very thorough, doctor,

But, uh, sometimes it's not hemorrhagic fever.

It's just good old-fashioned tennis elbow.

We're in one of the biggest hot zones

For infectious disease. How does someone get... Tennis elbow?

Oh, from using a machete?

Or from playing tennis.

oh, please, stop! I told you it's a walk.

No, this isn't a walk. It's an ironman.

I'm-- I'm being punished, aren't I?

This is the reason why americans are fat and lazy.

They only drive.

You know why? 'cause we invented streets for ourselves.

It's called civilization. You should really try it.

Wait. Did you just call me fat?

The patient dr. Cole was treating lives over there.

Great. The doctor is in.

Buenos días.

buenos días.

Es el dr. Fuller de la clínica.

They're all sick. Which one was dr. Cole treating?

¿a quién estaba atentiendo el dr. Cole?

Allá... A mi esposa.

His wife.

She's dead.

Keeton, thank god! This guy just slammed right into a tree.

There's blood everywhere.

There's gonna be internal injuries then.

Where's the patient?

Alláarriba!

por favor, escucha al doctor.

No! No! No! No quiero más medicinas!

Tell him that his family has advanced tuberculosis.

It's a bacterial infection. It needs to be treated.

El dr. Fuller que dice que es una infección bacterial

Y puede curar, se necisitan esas medicinas.

Sí, los doctores nos trajeron esa--

Esto es lo que las medicinas le han hecho a mi familia.

he says he doesn't want medicine,

Not for him or the children.

These children are dying of a totally curable disease.

I- I can save their lives if he'll just let me.

El dr. Fuller dice que sus niños están muy enfermos

Y para salvarlos necesitan esa medicina. Mi esposa tomó esa medicina,
