The premise
Here’s the bit.
A patient waiting on blood-work results is seen by a theatrically evasive doctor who insists that because this is a teaching hospital his intern must deliver the news. The intern, who has apparently drawn blood in some alarming way, takes the doctor's advice so literally that a simple 'your blood is good' turns into a lesson on certainty. As the patient pleads for answers before a date, a nurse's deadpan interruptions, a mix-up over the doctor's and intern's shared surname, a prescription of snack food and a sudden burst of English slang pile up until the two medics finally share an unexpected kiss.
The rabbit hole continues
