"The Doctor" with William Hurt, Christine Lahti, and Mandy Patinkin

Run time: 2 hours, 2 minutes

Jack McKee (William Hurt) is a gifted but arrogant surgeon who suddenly is a patient and learns first hand about the long stretches in the waiting room, the indignity of filling out pointless forms, and the callous attitude of the professional medical community. Jack also gets to know June (Elizabeth Perkins), a terminal cancer patient, whose joyous embrace of life as her time draws to a close is an inspiration to him. The Doctor was based on the memoir of real-life surgeon Ed Rosenbaum, entitled "A Taste of My Own Medicine."

Come join us for a brief circle discussion afterward.

From City Ave. take Lincoln Drive, turn right onto W. Mt Pleasant Ave. Go about a mile, turn right at Anderson St., then turn left onto E. Sedgwick St. The house is on the right, walk through the large gate.

Train: two blocks from the Sedgwick stop of the R7 suburban train line.
