The Dr. when I was born was a general practice doctor. He sat down and talked to you to find out the problem. You grew up with him. Back ache, pregnant, foot ache, stomach, cold, whatever. He cared a lot about his patients and knew you better than a friend, family member, or spouse. My mother would leave paying $15 to $20. Man have things changed. I miss those days so much.

William Shatner is still alive. See him occasionally at local events in my area. Don’t know if he lives in the area or not but he seems like a kind man. I’ve personally never spoke with him but have watched him interact with others as recent as a couple years ago. This was a really good show. So many of these old series had great story lines. Maybe because I’m up years i tend to relate to them more than todays shows which I rarely watch. Enjoy your retirement to the fullest.

As a multiple myeloma survivor my heart skipped a beat when he said that. It was a death sentence for a very long time and I almost didn't make it but because of my doctor's helping me to keep hope alive here I am. This was such a poignant episode, really loved it. I'm trying my best to live a life of meaning too to match the gift I've been given.

Addiction, infidelity, suicide - heavy stuff for early '60s TV. I'm struck by the economy of the production - minimal soundtrack, straightforward camera work. Just a reliance on well-written dialog delivered by good actors.

Wow what a great cast and great show! A lost gem of TV!

No way to describe the cast of this show!!!!! I'm speechless to find this incredible production!

He doesn't look THAT young here, yet this is 58 years old as of writing, and Shatner is STILL around. Long may he live!

I've watched Tv shows for over 60 years and this is one of the best. It shows what humanity used to be, what we used to appreciate and believe in. Now money and power are all that counts and if you can beat, cheat and arrest someone for being human and a citizen so much the better. Good bye to the United States, welcome to the place where all hope is abandoned.

I get what you say. That said, brutality and ignorance has always been with us. For some of us, there were never any "the good old days." The USA, well, since it was founded by slave owners. Anyway, a fine show. And Shatner was a fine actor, far above the Trek thing...

@@edoedo8686 Totally agree with you. As soon as America became America we started a campaign of bullying and meddling. This "America is the greatest country in the world" thing is exactly like any other dictator country, where people are brainwashed from birth. That said, there are many fine people. But I digress, Shatner played in some pretty hokey series, and managed to survive with grace and talent.

Incredible piece - beautiful story and great acting!

Every now and then all too infrequently something profoundly meaningful if not beautiful comes out of the blue. And this was just that. Not only Shatner but the Charles Bickford were both brilliant. I love this.

One of the best performancs I've seen by William Shatner, and in his 70+ years of acting, I've seen a lot.

THIS is one television drama I was totally unaware, and I am familiar with most of them from the early sixties like Boris Karloff, Bob Hope''s CHRYSLER THEATER, ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS, PLAYHOUSE 90, Lorreta Young.... But Fred Astaire! Quite the kick. Great show with a talented cast. I enjoyed William Shatner in particular. Thank you for posting this rarity from TV's golden age.

Thank you for a lovely movie. Reminds you of what is important, in life.

Fantastic story! Did anyone else get a "City on the Edge of Forever" vibe when Shatner crossed the street to the Emergency Hospital? After all these years of watching Star Trek my brain was shrieking "DON'T CROSS THE STREET!" I've heard of Alcoa Presents but never seen an episode before. I'm definitely going to look for more - this was excellent.

Exactly. I'm just now recovering from what apparently was the CV-Sars bug, and the doctor said I likely contracted it from someone who had the jab, and was shedding virus. Luckily, a family member was able to pay for the proper meds to treat it, that for some reason are withheld from the public, instead of being given free to all who need them.

I used to have Veterinarian much like this older doctor. He became a great friend over the years. He had a small office in a run down part the city and was very affordable. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and he told me about it. My reaction was anger and asking him why he is not sitting on a beach enjoying the time he has left with his amazing wife. He said he loves his job and plans to keep doing it as long as he can. Gave him a handshake and that was not enough. He began telling me about all the dogs and cats hit by cars people brought in to put to sleep he operated on and found them homes on his own time and his own expense. He had many dogs and cats he took care of as he knew they would not find homes in a shelter. He told me about it in the most humble way, he did not want any credit or attention for any of it. He just wanted me to know why he loved his job so much and would not trade one day of the time he had left not doing what he loved. RIP Jack He passed almost 15 years ago, still miss my dear friend.

This is the very first time I have seen William Shatner outside of star trek....I didn't even recognize him young. I enjoyed this one...I like the way the old doctor loved what he did more than the money...he genuinely cared out the people who came through that door...not referring to the criminals.

He was on so many shows. Then to be still acting so many years lately. Example #TheTwilightZone

Wow! A real gem! I usually make art while watching KZread, but I was glued to this the whole time.

The glory days of television. Real and gripping stories to tell and excellent script writing that seems lacking today. A special treat to see the future Captain Kirk.

I had a Doctor like that... a few months ago he retired. He earned it. But his replacement came in, looked at my labs and said "Your kidneys are failing" and quickly read off a litany of drugs and procedures I was to start on immediately. I didn't believe him... and for good reason, two minutes later he muttered "Your kidneys are fine, I was reading the wrong chart". No apology, Junior God just walked out and left the Nurse to set up an appointment in 6 months. I really miss having a Doctor like the one who retired. Probably never see another in my lifetime.

Ken Berry was a decorated soldier in WW2 . Neville Brand was the second most decorated soldier . Charles Durning was the fourth most decorated.
