Emergency!
Audit
Season 2, Episode 21 · Aired 1973-04-07
Synopsis
John is not happy when he learns the IRS is about to audit him. A con man appears at Rampart, after being bumped on the head. He refuses John's and Roy's help, who urgently wants to see a doctor. When the patient disappears in his room, Dr. Brackett admittingly tells Dixie, he didn't move him. When John and Roy got a baby out of a hot and locked car, an angry mother was upset at their interference. A hippie woman who's having a child, is suffering from dyspnea, who was brought into Rampart, where Dr. Brackett and Dixie detect her rheumatic fever that left her with a deformed heart valve. The firefighters save a man trapped in a collapsed building under construction, and the man wants Roy to amputate his leg, before the rest of the building falls.
