"I've fallen down and can't get up " Congratulations. You are now
about to enter the Twilight Zone. It is a place of mind and matter,
of test and retest, of drugs you cannot name, and of unnecessary,
painful procedures. It is your own personal journey through the
space and time of modern medicine. Medical Grail is the story of
Robert Bascom, a young, idealistic physician who had retreated to a
small mountain top village in Italy to mourn the death of his young
wife. While drinking wine in his small cottage he receives a call
from the administrator of a small hospital in the middle of the
Arizona desert. Corruption, incompetence and malpractice are
rampant in his facility, he complains, and he pleads with Bascom to
return to the US and help him correct the situation. Bascom agrees,
and on his first night in town, while still suffering from jet-lag
and a few too many drinks, gets an urgent call from a nurse and
races to the hospital emergency room. Once in the ER he sees a
physician in a white coat calmly and disinterestedly reading a
newspaper at the nurses station. He turns and sees two patients in
the empty ward: one is asleep on a stretcher in the corner of the
room, the other, a man almost as white as the sheet covering him,
is being worked on by a nurse and an EMT in a bloody uniform. He
goes to the stretcher and while doing his best to save the man,
asks the nurse, "Did you ask Dr. Perkins to help with this
patient?" "Yes," she replies, "but he won't treat Mexicans."
Medical Grail, a fictional story based upon true events, is the
tale of a doctor who has traveled with patients who have made the
trip, some successfully, others less so, through the maze of modern
medicine. It will horrify you.
