The wife of a Blair kitchen worker is brought to the hospital after collapsing at her apartment. She refuses to undergo exploratory surgery to discover the extent of a tumor, telling Kildare that she knows she is going to die. Kildare tries to get her husband to convince her to have the surgery, but this only leads to friction as the man and his wife have had increasing difficulty in communicating with each other due to different outlooks on life.
