The Medicine Show

When Taylor Darcy is diagnosed with a serious illness at a young age, he doesn't want sympathy. He wants to be left alone with cynicism for comfort.

After healthy doses of the overly concerned, a riotous pre-surgery party, the procedure itself, disaffected nurses and obnoxious roommates, Taylor meets his match and his soul mate in Lynn - a patient with a brash, free spirit.

They manage to bond in the world of managed health care, and provide us all with hope that a romantically funny thing can happen on the way to a colonoscopy.
