Barry is a patient who has a reputation for playing practical jokes. When a daughter of one of the other patients visits her father, Barry gets to spend some time with her and starts to like her. That night when her father complains to Barry about abdominal pains, Barry gives him a couple of indigestion tables without the knowledge of the staff. But the tablets coat his stomach with compounds that blank out areas of his stomach in the x-rays and almost results in a life-threatening operation. Dr. Morrow blames the nurse for the situation.
