Dr. Kildare (Unaired Pilot)

This extra on the Dr. Kildare movie series DVDs was originally an unaired pilot in which an older and more experienced Kildare has assumed the role of mentor after the passing of Dr. Gillespie. Kildare and his intern, Dr. Grayson, have a patient needing brain surgery after a head injury but his wife doesn't want to consent. Meanwhile, a young nurse trainee gets emotionally involved, making her wonder if she will be effective as a nurse. When the patient finally consents to surgery, the anesthesiologist informs the doctors of complications, leading Kildare to a diagnosis of beryllium poisoning. Meanwhile, Kildare's intern is wanting to leave Blair and start what appears to be a lucrative practice. Kildare, in an effort to keep the intern at Blair, intervenes to get another departing intern the job. The surgery is a success, with both the intern and the nurse having learned something about themselves from the experience.
