Isaac, what's the matter?
Can you wait until Shabbat is out?
It looks like kidney stones
No salt, sweets Drink a lot of water
Are you done?
Everything's alright?
Yes, yes
Why are you sitting in the dark?
I had to relax
Here, have some water
Drink up. Water is a pure thing
It's alright, Natan
I'll go with you to the doctor
There's no need, it's alright
I feel much better
I want to know what you have
and make sure you heal
It's fine, dad. I wouldn't want you
to miss work for me.
Your health is more important,
besides. - Leave him
Let him go alone
There is a formation of kidney stones
Do you drink a lot?
Yes
Drink more
There's also.
In ER they mentioned a vein
Yes
Are you married?
No
Does your testicle hurt?
Sometimes
There is a swollen vein
from the testes
We call it Varicocele
Does it affect fertility?
You must undergo surgery
to have it tied off
I will refer you to have a sperm count
We'II compare results before
and after surgery
And we'II be wiser then
Why aren't you sleeping?
Haven't your wanderings
gone far enough?
Sit down
I want to have a talk
Where did you get this from?
Your bedside-drawer
What were you looking for there?
Acamol
Isaac, you're not lying, are you?
- Why do you have them?
Sometimes I have bad dreams
That I am secular again
I wake up with chest pains
That was before I was born
I was a lowly secular man
Creator of the Universe
What dad did, don't be upset with me
Well?
They're tight
These are good, try them on
How are they?
