| In the first week of March,
1999, Doris relapsed 85 days following her bone marrow
transplant. Her white count was 47,000. While this was
devastating, her MCV buddies quickly came to the rescue.
See for yourself. |
 Jeff Bob tries to convince Doris
that he is her doctor. Her expression says it all.
 Clad in his usual battle dress,
legendary Levi Ramos (in his 4th year battling
osteosarcoma) motivates Doris to keep fighting.

 Dr.
Grossman arrives to correct the situation. "Jeff Bob
is a talented resident. However, I didn't tell him 'intra-tickle
therapy', I said 'intrathecal therapy'!"
 Can't visit the 7th floor without Blake stopping by!
