East Side General
The full production of men in white, which pursues its catalytic course through the halls of a big city (New York) hospital, and from ambulance to amphitheatre details more than one drama of the fight to live- and for these doctors, the right to love. In attendance are Dr. Anton Korff, a former Nazi and out for easy money and easy women; Andy Gray, the resident, whose marriage to medicine lends an inviolability to the love of Pat Read, a socialite, and Julia Talbot, his assisting nurse; Dr. Martin Ash, head of the hospital, in love with his very rich wife but trying to withstand the demands of her money; Emily Sloane, the surgical supervisor whom no surgery could save; etc. etc. And while two radioactive burn cases bring in the police and the papers, indicate the possibility of an atomic killer, and eventually lead to an explosion which sets fire to East Side General, the dramas of the O.R. carry on, stitch by stitch, from a lobectomy to an embolectomy to Gray's achievement of a difficult anastomosis... No dead tissue, and a high cyclopropane combustibility- for the obvious rentals and sales.
