Plot/Notes: Herbert Block is chief of medicine in a major teaching hospital. His wife has left him, he is impotent, his children have both disowned him. He is toying with the idea of suicide when patients begin dying, not from complications, but from the erroneous treatments the Hospital is giving them. People in the wrong beds are given wrong medicines, sent to operating theatres for incorrect surgery, found in waiting rooms dead of natural causes. Barbara Drummond has come to take her comatose father back to the Souix reservation where he operates a clinic, they each reach out to each other for emotional support, as a shadowy figure stalks the patients, staff of the hospital.
