His Only Patient

Overview

Dr. Schneider paces restlessly around his practice - hardly any patients come in. He is delighted when the letter carrier finally rings, but he is in perfect health. Then his cook appears with a tiny cut. Instead of a plaster, Schneider applies an oversized bandage and prescribes strict bed rest. Dissatisfied, he goes hunting for sick people on the street and even treats a passer-by until he flees, exasperated. In the end, only his cook is fit and lively at the stove again. A lost film.
