i have never pay much attention to this flick until i learn that paddy chayefsky author of the brilliant network be the scriptwriter . his work there have instruct me a to his genius and so when hospital appear on tmc and i be anxious to see it . i be not disappointed . look at both this film and network it would seem that his big theme be the absurdity and inanity and and sheer viciousness of large human enterprise ( e. g. and hospital and network ) against the sanctity of individual experience and the human spirit and and all of it deliver with a knife edge sense of utterly black humor . hospital be a black of a comedy a network be and and the excellent cast and lead by the incomparable scott and do his work full justice . this be a keeper while definitely not to miss .
