Hello all, welcome to my channel. In this upcoming series of videos, I am going to explain the stories behind the pioneers of public health. The first in the list is Sir Ronald Ross, a British physician who got Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in the year 1902. Before explaining about Sir Ronald Ross and his contributions, let us look into the list of Nobel laureates from India. This is the list of five Nobel laureates who were citizens of India when they received Nobel Prize. They are Rabindranath Thakur, C. V. Raman, Mother Theresa, Amatsya Sen, Kailash Adhyatri. There are two lists here. The list on the right is the list of Nobel laureates who were born in India and changed their situations before receiving the Nobel Prize. On the left is the list of people who were either born or residing in India while receiving Nobel Prize. The first in this list is Sir Ronald Ross. About him we are going to discuss in this video. We all know Nobel Prize was initiated from the year 1901. Sir Ronald Ross is the second person to receive Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902. For his discovery of transmission of malaria by Anophilus Mosquito in 1897. The day he made his discovery is commemorated as World Mosquito Day i.e. August 20. In fact, he was the first person to receive Nobel Prize being born from outside Europe and also the first British Nobel Laureate. Ronald Ross was born in Almora, India as the eldest of 10 children of Sir Campbell Clay Grand Ross who was working as an Army General in British Indian Army. He moved to Britain with his aunt at the age of 8 and continued his schooling. He was passionate with poetry, music, literature and mathematics. He wanted to become a writer. But his father asked him to join a medical college. He joined the medical school in 1874. He focused on music and writing during his course. Without full interest, he completed medicine. Immediately after his completion of medicine, he entered Indian Medical Service in 1981. He worked in various places from Chennai, then Madras, Burma, Balochistan, Andaman Islands, Bangalore and 2nd Rabat. His career was not interesting and meaningful before he met his mentor Sir Patrick Manson in the year 1894. The man behind the discovery of life cycle of malaria assist, mosquito malaria theory and now widely recognized as father of tropical medicine. The scientific names such as Mansonites, Mansonia are named after him. Based on the ideas given by Sir Patrick Manson, Sir Ronald Ross returned to India and continued his research in malaria. In 1895, he identified the early stages of parasite in adult mosquito. In 1897, he made the landmark discovery with infecting the mosquitoes after feeding of blood from infected person. When Nobel Prize was awarded in 1902, it was awarded to Italian physician Battista Gracie and Ronald Ross for their works in malaria. Battista Gracie was the first to describe and establish the life cycle of human malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum and discovered that only female anaphylene mosquitoes are capable of transmitting the disease. These other contributions were discovering the life cycle of human dwarf tapeworm and drone worm. But Ronald Ross launched a fraudulent campaign against Battista Gracie and Nobel committee appointed Robert Koch as neutral orbiter. He threw full weightage to Ronald Ross for receiving Nobel Prize in 1902. Sir Ronald Ross continued his work in Kalazhar and mathematical modeling for epidemiology of malaria which were not successful. In 1926, he became director-in-chief of the Ross Institute on Hospital for Tropical Diseases and continued as director-in-chief till his death. In India, he is celebrated not only as a pioneer in parasitology but also as a pioneer in public health. Many institutes, memorials, roads in India are named after him and sings his praise as beautiful as his poems and music which he wanted to compose during his childhood. Unarguably, he remains as a pioneer of public health.


Hi, I am C.R. Usha. I would like to narrate an incident which happened during December 2021. One day when I happened to sit on the floor very casually with the support of my right hand, it stretched to an unexpected length. And suddenly within few seconds I experienced an unbearable shooting pain in the shoulder of my right hand. And the pain reduced when I took rest. It increased on the moment of my hand. I approached Dr. Ayapan Veenayur of Manipal hospitals. As per his advice, various medical tests were done. And it was diagnosed as muscle tear shoulder dislocation. And thereby a surgery became inevitable. Hi, I am Dr. Ayapan Veenayur. I am a shoulder surgeon at Manipal Hospital's Highfield. It's with a lot of pleasure, gratitude, prayerfulness. And it's very, very hard for me to talk about my patient, Mrs. Usha, who is the mother-in-law of my close friend and cardiologist Dr. Sandesh. So he had bought Mrs. Usha, Usha Aunty I would call, to my OPD one day with pain and stiffness in the shoulder, inability to move the shoulder. The clinical examination, when I checked the shoulder, I felt that there could be a possible muscle tear. And the MRI did definitely show a muscle tear, a massive muscle tear in the rotator cuffs of the shoulder, which falls in the category of something called as irreparable tear, where we can't do a primary repair or suturing of the muscle can't be done. So then the only option was to do a shoulder replacement, technically called as a reverse shoulder arthroplasty, a reverse shoulder replacement. I am 66 years old, obviously the fear of surgery, its consequences and whether I am physically fit enough to take up this surgery, etc. Such doubts were lingering in mind, but doctor's comfortable approach, neat explanation, very clear convincing words made me mentally prepared to go ahead with this operation. So she underwent a surgery and the surgery went well. She did very well post-surgery, her recovery was good and I am very glad that she had an excellent patient like her. She was so dedicated and cooperative and today I would say at the end of the complete recovery process, she has achieved her full function with full power to the shoulder. I am extremely thankful to God that we were able to do all this and we were able to achieve the full function for her. Operation went on very nicely from day one to this day, no any complication, no discomfort and in fact not even a slight pain bothered me subsequent to the surgery. He coordinated with an excellent physiotherapist which further improved my speedy recovery. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Ayyappan B. Nair who has performed a splendid work, who has restored my shoulder, my hand back to me. I pray God to give him a very happy, long and healthy life so that more and more patients shall be benefited by his treatment. Thank you.


This is FDA Patient Safety News. In this edition, a new black box warning on antidepressants and children, a new caution on osteonecrosis in patients taking bisphosphonates, a recall of certain pulmonetic ventilators that are used in hospitals and at home. These stories and more on this edition of FDA Patient Safety News. Welcome to the program. For the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I'm Mark Barnett. And I'm Anita Rayner. Let's start with an update on an issue we've covered before. In several previous programs, we've talked about the increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children and adolescents who are being treated with antidepressant medications. FDA recently took several steps to strengthen safeguards for young patients being treated with these drugs. But didn't some of the manufacturers of these antidepressants already change their labeling to reflect this sort of caution? That's right. They did. But one of the major differences is that now a black box warning is required for all antidepressant drugs. And, of course, a black box is the most serious type of warning in prescription drug labeling. The black box describes the increased risk of suicidality in pediatric patients. And it emphasizes the need for closely monitoring patients started on these medications. It also describes what uses the drugs have been approved or not approved for in pediatric patients. It doesn't prohibit the use of the drugs in children and adolescents, but it warns of the risk of suicidality and it encourages prescribers to balance this risk with clinical need.  That's right. And that's a significant change. The previous warnings applied to the SSRIs and several atypical antidepressants based on analyses of placebo-controlled trials of these particular drugs. The new labeling changes apply to the entire category of antidepressant medications. That's well over 30 drugs. That's because the currently available data are not adequate to exclude antidepressant drug from the increased risk of suicidality. Everything you've talked about so far has to do with the practitioner. But what about the patient and the caregiver? I mean, they've got a role to play, too, in being on guard for this. Right. The new patient medication guide will play a role. A med guide is FDA-approved user-friendly information for patients and it's supposed to be distributed by pharmacists with each prescription or refill of a medication. In the case of antidepressants, it will advise patients and their families about the risk of suicidality and about precautions that can be taken. FDA is working with manufacturers of antidepressant drugs to make the med guides available as soon as possible. Novartis has notified healthcare professionals about new precautions for the company's two bisphosphonate drugs, so meta or zoologonic acid and eredia or pyimidrinate disodium. These drugs are used to treat hypercalcemia of malignancy and other disease states. The labeling now cautions about reports of osteonecrosis of the jaw occurring in cancer patients who received bisphosphonates as a component of their therapy. Many of these patients were also receiving chemotherapy, some with corticosteroids and these are also risk factors for osteonecrosis. The majority of the osteonecrosis cases were associated with dental procedures such as tooth extractions and many of these patients had signs of local infection including osteomyelitis. So the labeling now advises prescribers to consider having patients with these and other risk factors undergo dental evaluation and necessary preventive dental care before they start on zometta or eredia treatment. While they're on these drugs, high risk patients should avoid invasive dental procedures if possible and if patients do develop osteonecrosis of the jaw while on bisphosphonate therapy they should avoid dental surgery. And finally, if patients on bisphosphonates do require dental procedures, there are no data available on whether stopping the drugs reduces the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw. The clinical judgment of the physician should guide each patient's management based on an assessment of benefits and risks. Pulmonetic Systems Incorporated has recalled its LTV series ventilators. The model number for the recalled ventilators are 1,950, 900 and 800. The 10,000 of these devices are in use throughout the world both in hospitals and also in home care settings. Why did they recall these ventilators? Because the ventilator may fail to operate when it switches from an external power source to the battery that's built into the device. And when is that kind of switch supposed to happen? Well it's supposed to happen automatically under certain circumstances. It happens when the external power source is removed or it fails or it's unstable or it's not adequate to operate the ventilator. If the switch to the battery operation doesn't occur as it should then the ventilator can fail to breathe for the patient. What does this recall consist of? Right now the company is working on a permanent fix that should take care of all of the ventilators. In the meantime, the company sent a safety alert and an information sheet to customers and users and that explains the problem and it provides instructions on how to correct the malfunction if it occurs and continue ventilation. And that will do the trick? Well the company says that if you follow those instructions the ventilator will usually continue to function but they do caution that caregivers should have an alternative source of ventilation on hand if it becomes necessary. If you have one of these pulmonetics LTV series ventilators and the company hasn't yet provided the permanent fix for your unit, you should follow the operating instructions in the safety alert and the caregiver information sheet that the company sent. If you don't have these documents you can get them on our website or you can call pulmonetics directly. FDA has received over 90 reports of fires involving electrically operated hospital beds since 1993. Most of these fires were associated with factors such as overheated bed motors, arcing from ill-thinning plugs, damaged plugs, missing ground pins, fluid leaks that damage circuit boards, missing components in the wiring, poor maintenance or failure to follow manufacturer's warnings. Fortunately such fires are rare and a recent FDA article in Nursing 2004 talks about ways to help keep them rare. Now most of these tips might sound like common sense but they're especially important for older beds. So here are just a few of them. Periodically inspect the bed's power cord for damage. Don't use an extension cord or a multiple outlet strip. Instead connect the bed's power cord directly into a wall-mounted outlet that's in good working order. Inspect the floor under the bed for a buildup of dust and lint which could clog the motor. Inspect the covering of the patient's bed control panel and look for signs of damage where liquids could leak in. Test the bed and its controls including patient lockout features to be sure that the bed can move freely in both directions without pulling or rubbing on cords. And finally tell staff about any unusual sounds or burning odors or an unusual movement of the bed. Biogen IDEC and Genentech have notified health professionals about new warning information in the labeling for the drug Rituxin or Rituximab which is used to treat certain patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The new labeling warns of hepatitis B reactivation in some patients which has led to fominate hepatitis, hepatic failure and death. The warning says that patients at high risk of HBV infection should be screened for the presence of HBV before initiating treatment with Rituximab. Those found to be carriers of HBV should be closely monitored for signs of active HBV infection or hepatitis both during the treatment and for several months afterwards. If a patient develops viral hepatitis while being treated with Rituximab, the drug should be discontinued along with any concomitant chemotherapy and treatment should be started including antiviral therapy. There's currently insufficient information about whether it's safe to resume Rituximab therapy in patients who developed hepatitis due to HBV reactivation while they were being treated with the drug. When you're using steam sterilizers for medical instruments, physical, chemical and biological monitors help assure that sterilization has taken place. In a recent article, FDA cites several reports of problems with these monitors. In one case, the liquid growth media in a self-contained biological monitor had dried out. In another case, one chemical indicator had failed to change color even though another one in the same sterilizer cycle did change. And in a third case, a physical monitor showed that the required temperature wasn't reached and yet the sterilizer didn't warn that this had happened. The article suggests several ways to address these kinds of events. For example, for self-contained biological indicators, always check the level of the growth media before and after sterilization. And don't use indicators with low levels of media. If a biological or chemical indicator gives unexpected results, this could be because the sterilizer was overloaded or improperly loaded so that steam couldn't penetrate or circulate to reach the indicator. Or it could be that the sterilizer isn't delivering good quality steam. The article also cautioned that if you program your sterilizer to operate at other than the manufacturer's settings for time and temperature, you should develop a system to be sure that these are set properly by the staff. For example, you might require that a second person verify the settings before the sterilizer is returned to service. Here's a caution for patients who are prescribed low-trizone lotion, a combination of beta-methazone and clotrimazole that's used to treat fungal infections of the skin such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. We've had several reports of patients who've used this product in their eyes or ears rather than on their skin. Fortunately, none of these patients had permanent injuries, but all required medical attention. But most products that are intended for topical use are not mistakenly used, for example, in the ears. Why this product? Well, one factor might be how the product is packaged. Low-trizone lotion comes in containers that look like ophthalmic, odic, and nasal drug products. Plus, the plastic tip looks like a dropper. That may contribute to the confusion, and it also makes it easier to put the lotion in the eyes or ears as compared to a tip that's blunted or flat. But doesn't the label make it clear that this is for a topical use only? The label does say for topical use only, but that might be difficult to spot because of the size of the lettering or the way that the warning is embedded with other words on the label. FDA is working with the manufacturer to change the labeling and packaging. In the meantime, here are some suggestions to help reduce the chance of these mixups. First, counsel patients on proper use of the product and tell them about the potential for confusion. Advise patients who also use odic or ophthalmic preparations to store low-trizone lotion where it's unlikely to be confused with those other products. And if possible, circle or highlight the for topical use only statement on the product package and container. FDA recently cleared for marketing an automatic external defibrillator that can be sold over the counter to the general public. It's called the Heart Start Home Defibrillator, and it's made by Phillips Medical Systems. This product was already available for use at home with a doctor's prescription, but now it can be purchased without a prescription. Like other defibrillators, the device administers an external electric shock through the chest wall to the heart to help restore normal heart rhythm to patients in ventricular fibrillation. The device analyzes and interprets the patient's heart rhythm and advises the user on whether to deliver a shock. Consumers should know that the Heart Start device is supposed to be used only on people believed to be in sudden cardiac arrest who don't respond when they're shaken and are not breathing normally. It should only be used on adults or on children who are at least 8 years old or who weigh at least 55 pounds. Special small pads for younger children and infants are available by prescription. In the training video that comes with the device, users dealing with a person in cardiac arrest are advised to first call 911. Then they should get the defibrillator. Pulling the device's cartridge handle starts voice instructions to guide the user through each step. The user is instructed to remove all clothing from the patient's chest. When the patient's chest is bare, the user removes the protective cover, takes out the white adhesive pads, and attaches them to the victim's chest exactly as shown in the pictures on the pads. Once the pads are in place, the defibrillator analyzes the victim's heart rhythm and decides if a shock is needed. If a shock is needed, the defibrillator says to push the flashing orange button. If a shock isn't needed, the device says so and instructs the user to begin CPR if necessary. The flashing blue I button lets the user know that more information is available. Pushing that button gives step-by-step coaching on performing CPR. One last note, although the Heart Start Home defibrillator is designed for use by virtually anyone, people who may be using this device are also advised to take CPR training in case that's needed instead of a shock. That's all for this edition of FDA Patient Safety News. Remember, you can get more information on all the stories you've seen here today by visiting our website. We also urge you to use the website to report problems you've encountered with medical products. That's how we learn about problems so we can alert others. We'll be back next month with another edition, so watch for us. Until then, for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I'm Anita Reiner. And I'm Mark Barnett. See you next time.


Boy, you're listening, gentlemen. Don Lund, as... Donny Dollar. Right to her, it's Universal Adjustment, Johnny. Oh, hi. How are you, Frank? I'm a little worried at the moment. Can you help me out? I have to present what I have to do. You have to take a little trip to one thing, upon the election in Kentucky. Well, it's a slow time of the year to get out in the country. What else? A soft, cool man named Calcorder. He had a rate for us at $265,000. I hate to have to pay the premium on that kind of policy. Well, that's just it, Johnny. Got a wire on my desk here from a man in Calcorder's business office. The horse was serious. He didn't have to be destroyed. Wow. Now, one of your words, Frank. I'll be right over. John Lund, in another adventure of a man with the action-plastic sense of culture, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yes, Tony. Johnny Dollar. Why don't we take a breather from our program? I'd like to ask you a question. You know who Uncle Sam's lawyer is. If your answer is the attorney general, you're absolutely right. But being legal advisor to the president and other governmental agencies is only part of his job. His main task is running the Department of Justice, which makes sure that the laws passed by Congress are carried out, and that lawyers are available when the government must be represented by the government. I don't know if you're aware of that. But it's inevitable when the government must be represented in court. Let me give you an example. Suppose there are some questions concerning the amount or kind of fat, you should say. Or suppose you and the government don't agree as to which of you own certain land. That's when the Department of Justice steps in to represent the government side of the case. If anyone is brought to trial for counterfeiting, smuggling, gold hoarding, or passport forging, the Department of Justice prosecutes the case. It also handles all matters dealing with legal immigration. And all of this activity is the responsibility of an important member of the president's cabinet, the attorney general. Just as it is the duty of the United States government to protect each and every one of you, it is the duty of the attorney general to protect the government of the United States. $100. Expensive Havs submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Universal Insurance Justice Street 814 kitchens building Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Oklahoma Red Matter. Expensive Havn Item One $107.80 Airfare and Incidentals between Hartford and Muchison. Item 3, $5.50 Transportation from the airport to the Great Southern Hotel, are accepted and closed. Then, to an address on Tooth Avenue, Calgary Company, Incorporated. Mr. Calgary is never here, Mr. Dollar. Don't hold this crime at the farm, you'll have to see him there.  How about Mr. Monroe? See him in your area if he's with Mr. Calgary office anymore. That's funny. He was yesterday afternoon when he sent my company this wire about the policy. He and Mr. Calgary are in big teams. I might as well tell you. Oh. Well, is there anybody else around here I can talk to about you? I think you have to see Mr. Calgary. A phone call to the Calgary farm is disclosed that Mr. Calgary was out for the day. Another half hour of conversation in the office and the election clerk finally gave me a name and a address.  That's a trick. That's an alien. Well, it opened him red, huh? The people of this policy sent me down from Hartford. You did something wrong? Not a procedure, doctor. Mr. Calgary's office has filed claims for 65,000 dollar incentives. Apparently, Mr. Monroe will handle these things with Mr. Calgary. There's no longer with him. Your phone stood the clock. And Mr. Calgary is not around at the moment. I don't get it. A great grandfather has been badminton since then. He's got a right power point for it. That's a good business to get the price for it, though. We treated him? Yes. The wire said something about a piece of machinery. A tractor with a blade. Red, red back into it. That's really a right hand thing. All the way to boom. You must have a report in the case like this. We inform you.  Only had my lad in his place. Yeah. Oh, thanks. Most of the tenders were set, huh? They were set. We were set. It was rapid. Uh-oh. This notation about the carcass. Cremated on the premises. Like a fast. Calgary wanted it that way. I want to make my job a little more complicated. Unless you put so much, right? There's a need to. Well, if you put that, it'll be better in the meantime than after. But you need him for proof that the injury occurred more than anything else. Mr. Calgar called you right after it happened, did it? That's right. I got there maybe 10 minutes later. Lord was alone with the horse. The minute I laid eyes on that animal, I knew it was him. I re-advised Mr. Calgar that he had to be destroyed. I didn't have any choice. Did you consider calling in another vet? No, you didn't know. Did Mr. Calgar ask you to call in another vet? No, he needs to be down. He took me a year before. Pardon me. Quite a nice job, Dr. Tis. I can't take anybody's word for anything. It cost me down item three, 30 cents. For the five air mail stamps, it took the mail a copy of the complete injury report to a veterinarian service in Cleveland. Item four, $25, car revenue. That afternoon I drove out to the Calgar breeding farm. Like most of the others I'd passed, it was complete with white fences, old bridge grass, and a stately colonial residence, just like the movie. A fellow and attractive girl in her early twenties met me at the door. I told her my name and who I wanted to see. You're not going to explain, are you? You hear about rent? Well, what happened to him, aren't you? That's right. Oh, Mr. Calgar. I'm glad to know you're. Oh, Mr. Calgar, I've read and filled for. $65,000. I don't know whether I'm supposed to discuss this with you, Mr. Calgar. His blood had gotten on the cross this year. The trouble that tripled the progress. There's not enough money in the world for it, Mr. Calgar. He was a great hero. He must have been. I'm sorry. What's happened? Brad's kidney stopped working. Oh, I understand. He was injured beyond hope. That's a lie. What's that? Brad's kidney stopped him. He was a kidney donor. His blood was running around his whole face. Where's anything? Wasn't the horse injured? What's with that? I'll tell you. I can tell you something else. What are you talking about, anyhow? Horrible thing to do. Go to your room. It was just like murder in the know-it. Lucy! It was murder. Copy.  And that way, everything's with little girls. I see. I knew it. I'd have to put up with her actions like that. But I'm reluctant to apologize to you for her actions. Ed Pierre told me you were in to see him. I wish he hadn't. I intended to tell you myself, Mr. Calgar. If I've offended you, I'm sorry for it. If you look like I'm doing something shady, would it have come to me instead of going to him? I tried, Joe. We had to go to everybody. Dr. Pierce ordered the horse destroyed. It seemed like a fair opening to go to women. That's why. What do you want from me? All the information you can give me about the action. Now, no matter what you think of me or my methods, I'm the man assigned to this case. This report has to be complete before your client can be paid. You always handle a case this way. That's the way I'm handling this one.  You filed a claim by wire. What did you expect? That fool lost. Monroe filed a claim. Now, they're waiting for things around here to calm down a little. Is that why you fired him? That's one reason. Are you here to accuse me of something? Look, there's $55,000 at stake here. We'll pay it out when we're satisfied all the circumstances were proper and not before.   No man would. If I don't get my information from you, I'll get it somewhere else. What I've seen of you so far and what information I have got hasn't been in your favor. I don't like that kind of talk. You don't seem to like anything about this. Now, how about it? Do we keep this up or do we get down to business? The planner was bringing Red back from his exercise. Outside the store, Red got scared. Mouth or something. Well, he reared back into that bleach. When Doc got here, he said Red didn't have a chance, so I got him. That's all. It's Planner. What's his name? Jim Knight. He isn't around anymore. I fired him right then and there. I told him to get off my property. Who else is there? No one. The rest of them were up-drowsed having dinner. Oh, fine. How about right after it? I just called Doc to see if we handled it. It's better if you'd left the remains for us to examine. Dollar, I got maybe a hundred and fifty head on this farm. Now an accident happened. One of my staff is dead. I get rid of it as fast as I can. That's the way I operate. Fine. Where can I get to talk to Jim Knight? Where did he go? I don't know. He took the things, he cleared it out as fast as he could. He knew better than to hang around here. What do you mean by that? What I said, he knew better. That's what I mean. Is there a daughter? Is she any of this? Lucy. You know the crazy things he was saying when I walked into here?  What you were saying might be worth listening to. Piper. I'd like to talk to her just the same. Abbott! Abbott! Yes, sir. Doc, come. Talk to anybody you like, scholar. We've already got all the information he's going to get from me. Do you have to meet each other? Yes, sir.  Sir. Good play, sir. Never mind. I can find my own way. When I left Lord Galgore, I was unsure whether I talked to a sane man or not. Galgore's belligerent attitude seemed to permeate the whole farm. The horse handlers I talked to were grumbling and complaining. And I was able to learn nothing from them, except a Baltimore address for Jim Knight. However, I did talk to Lucy Galgore again. Down by the stable. I thought you left a long time ago. I wanted to talk to you before I did. What about, Mr. Daller? Your business has been my bad, not with me. Well, pardon me if I seem to conceal you. Earlier today, you were very anxious to tell me something. Was I? Yes, you were. What is this, anyhow? I wish we hadn't met at all. But we did. And you said there was no need to destroy the horse after the Venus. But you mean the horse could have been saved? Did you have a reason for saying something like that? I've just been very upset lately. All of this around here has. Yeah, I'm getting that way myself. That was the best horse we've had in the state in five years. We've all been counting on him, thinking with a coat.  Is that your explanation for the things you said to me? Yes, for the moment. I'm going to ask you any more questions right now. The Chalgaurs were turning out to be a dandy pair to deal with. Back in town, I checked on Chalgaurs' financial situation. It was good, as far as the local banks were concerned. I split the Chal item five. Two dollars and twenty cents. Chalagrams. One to Hartford requesting further information regarding Chalgaurs' credit spending. The obvious of Baltimore, Maryland, addressed to Jim Knight. The next morning, I received an answer to the latter. Johnny Valley. Welcome on island. I'm calling Mr. Doc. Do you want to hold on? Sure. Ready there with your call to Mexico? Go ahead. Hello? Hello? Hello? Yes? Who's this? He's an officer, but he lives in Texas. He's got a call and says you're wearing him from Lincoln. Well, that's very kind. Now, he's Mr. Chalgaurs' father. He and Mr. Chalgaurs are Chalgaurs. Wait a minute. We met there three days ago, Mrs. Knight. Didn't he come home? Chalgaurs' name? Some positive. Do you have any other ideas where he could be? Let me know about it. Are you sure?  When I talked to Jim Knight's mother in Baltimore, the Chalgaurs claim was just about out of draw. I had a strong suspicion that the death of a horse had not occurred as reported. On the other hand, I had found no apparent reason for Chalgaurs to do away with an animal. It was evidently more valuable than the insurance it carried. It came down again to searching for the only other witness, Jim Knight. I promised his mother I'd have him contacted if I found him anywhere around Lexington. But that didn't seem likely after repressing several people at the Chalgaurs' farm. Now, this is where Mr. Knight stayed all the time. He was here, Mr. Dollar. Uh-huh? You could see through yourself that the horse who had ours not as good as that. Do you want to see him leave? No, sir. Right after the accident, he's gone. Just like that. I wonder if any of the others saw him. We talked about that. Nobody saw him, though. Did he have a car? No, sir. Well, he had to have a suitcase or two. How do you suppose he got away from here, then? He had him again. I don't know. He couldn't look him out to the road and flagged himself around or waited for the bus. Maybe someone drove him? Mr. Easton might have said he drove Mr. Knight around there, man. That business you were telling me about before, you don't have to be looking into it, Lucy. No, sir. Because you intimated that your father and Dr. Pierce might be lying about the whole thing. You realize that there's any truth to that? Your father would be liable to criminal charges. I know. I was just trying to put dad in a bad life. Well, he's not a very good one right now. It was just a spike in a failure, too. He's bad now than I am for weeks, ma. When I walked in the door yesterday, you saw a way to get back at him, didn't you? He came from my car. Is that Oklahoma right up there? Mm-hmm. I took a picture of myself. Oh, I know a horseman, but he looks like a lot of horse. He was. You know that the worst broken down plug or ever created drunk driving was more dignity than any man in a revolution. Well, that's one way of looking at it. What's the trouble between you and your father? A man named Jim Mount. He used to work here at the clinic. Yeah, I heard. I was going to ask you about him. Yes, I thought so, ma. Jim and I saw a father greater be proud of him. Brad never lost him. Why? Well, I suppose because I'm not as hard-dressed. Mother-in-law, he was my older brother. He was cured in an accident a few years ago. I'd have been looking for an excuse to get rid of Jim. Your father doesn't strike me as the kind of man who has to give an excuse to fire someone he didn't like. Who's his big ma? What? Nothing. It was a good time. Very good with Brad. Much important. When the accident happened, I'd imagine my dad had a photo of him when he fired him. You know where I can find him now? No. He didn't say a word to me when he left. That isn't the problem. Lucy, you suppose your father will ever calm down enough so I can talk to him? I don't know. The Congress has always been a terribly angry bunch of people. Very emotional. That's what you seem to be. You must have a letter for these guys. Is that what you meant when you asked me if I thought he was a man? I suppose so. It seems as if he's on a graduate. Well, something like this isn't good. He's made fun of me sometimes. I couldn't use him. But I was thinking. A couple of years ago, your daddy bought a new car. We were out driving one day and we went from that round. But he was so angry that he just marked it under a cement wall and left it. Lucy, tell me about him and I. I was an arrogant and the first day he came to work here. I'm still angry. I thought of Lucy before. While Lucy and Cal go again the following afternoon, I return to talk to their father. He told me he was gone and wouldn't be back into the evening. I spent some more time with the people to find out anything that would help. But nothing did. That night, when I picked up my key at the hotel desk, there was a message to call Operator 18 in Hartford. It was Frank Ahern. Well, then that angle was practically out, Frank.  How about you? No one seems to know what happened to Jim Knight. Someone right here is more to it. What it is I don't know, Frank. It's beating. Something just occurred to me, Frank. Caldor hasn't threatened to go to the insurance to make some other suicide yet. Yeah, it is. Yes, he's got a just plan. Now, Mr. Dolly, it's great. I just talked to my office in Hartford, Dr. Pierce. They aren't very happy with the way this case has been going. You don't know. They're about ready to close it and call me home. Well, you mean their opinion of the case? No. I don't mean that at all. What about this? I spent some time checking you out in one of the parties that can help settle this case. Even in practice around Lexington for 32 years, people think a lot of this. Well, I don't... I can't. I hate to see a nice guy like you get to book. I think I can shop it. If you'll cooperate. What do you mean you forget I'm an insurance investigator? I guess the guy giving you some information. When I said my adjustment company is ready to close the case, I mean that Caldor will have to sue for a settlement. And Caldor will have to produce him an item through his story. If what we have so far, he'll leave the suit and the insurance company will file charges against him for attempting to defraud.  As far as it suffers in an insurance company when somebody is trying to see him. And, uh, you'll have to be in court too. No. You see what I mean? Well, how about it? I've done this time for 13 years. And I ask you to lie for me. That's understandable to me. But in a court of prejudice, false testimony, what do you mean? That's up to the company. I'll have to hear your part of the search. Look whom I read. They are one and all. They are one and one and all. Lord, listen to me. Tell me that. Lord, just shout it. Why? Well, red wasn't the home of Lord Potter. What? Great confirmation that it was the wooden home. Lord, that's the moment. God. And like stars. Ready? Lord, I'm a good human being. Very good. I've heard that about him before. Lucid? Yeah. He had a reason. I don't think so. I've known him for a long time, for 18 years. It's like the town item 6. 35 cents. I lost it in a payfall. I'm trying to get in touch with Caldorov. Now when I think so, I drove out. Open up! Open up! Open up! Somebody open up! Mr. Dalas. Hello, Alex. Each dollar. Is Mr. Caldorov back yet? Yes, he is. I'd like to see him. Mr. Dalas, please. All right, Lucid. Hello, Donna. That's not a very good move. Neither am I. Hey, you've been crying. What's this? I just think this is a bit of a lie. I just think this is a bit of a lie. Oh, there, there. Oh, Donna. I'm very lucky.  What? I said take your hands off her.    Lucid, baby. Oh, don't hurt me. What? Donna. I'll get a doctor. No, I'm... where'd he go? I don't know. About killing someone else? It was possible. I don't know. Oh, God. I called the local sheriff's office and then took a look around the ground. All the cars were still in the garage. And I heard some sort of disturbance near the staples. Oh, honey, closer. I've got a shotgun here. I got a gun, too. Always from the air. The police will be here any minute. It won't do you any good. Sheldor, be better if you're in the house ready to make a statement. Dr. Pierce told me he lied for you. And he said you killed someone. Was it him, Knight? I told you to go away from here. You'd better come out.  Don't do anything for it. You didn't have to do it this way, Sheldor. Life's so... Nice boat. Under this floor. All these things, really. Really all about red. I know. Nice trade discussions. I know it's crazy. I'm not am I, darling? I'm not crazy. Expense account item seven. Thirty-seven dollars and a half, Mr. Langer. Item eight, same as one. Transportation back to Hartford. Expense account total, two hundred and eighty-six dollars and forty-five cents. Your truly, Johnny Dollar.
