A Prayer for the Lying

Tim is frustrated but Kelly reminds him he knew this could happen when he agreed to be foster parent. Roger's stepmother Mildred is hospitalized with some gall bladder problem. However, Roger soon clashes with the obnoxious second year resident that treats her as he finds evidence that Mildred's real problem is a cardiac infarction.

Tim's patient, Mark, is hospitalized and put under the care of Dr. Meyer. Tim notices a big, alarming bruise on Mark and calls for a duplex scan. But Dr. Meyer won't hear of it; she refuses to waste any money on a needless scan.

Tim wonders if some sort of childhood trauma could be the root t

He fears she's being beaten by her husband, Ron, and goes by their house to confront Ron.
