this be one of the great film ever make . brilliant acting by george c. scott and diane riggs . this movie be both disturb and extremely deep . don not be fool into believe this be just a comedy . it be a brilliant satire about the medical profession . it be not a pretty picture . healthy patient be kill by incompetent surgeon and who spend all their time make money outside the hospital . and yet and you really believe that this be a hospital . the producer be very careful to include real medical terminology and real medical case . this movie really reveal how difficult in be to run a hospital and and how badly thing already be in 1971. i love this movie . p. s. i notice that the incompetent and wheeler dealer surgeon play the head of the firm in la law . the young doctor play in lou grant . i also notice that the registration nurse have appear since in becker and other show .
