Dr. Vance: Mr. Sterling, faking a medical emergency in a private hospital is a serious offense. You have been consuming resources, medical staff time, and specialized care under false pretenses!
Arthur: Oh, spare me the lecture, Vance! My daughter owes me millions from her late husband's estate! This was the only way to get what belongs to me!
Dr. Hayes: Your daughter? You mean Eleanor Sterling, the philanthropist who has been paying your medical bills out of her own pocket?
Arthur: She didn't earn that money! My son-in-law left that entire trust fund to her while leaving me with nothing but scraps!
The heavy door of Room 402 swung open, and Eleanor Sterling walked into the room holding a leather folder filled with legal documents. Her eyes widened as she saw her elderly father standing tall on the linoleum floor, completely uninjured, surrounded by shattered plaster.
Eleanor: Dad?! What... why are you standing up? Where is your cast?
Leo: Mom! He was faking it the whole time! He smashed his own X-rays and lied to everyone!
Eleanor: Leo, what are you talking about? Dad, what is going on here?
Arthur: Eleanor... don't listen to this brat. He came in here like a lunatic and attacked me with a rock!
Dr. Vance: Mrs. Sterling, I am afraid your son is telling the absolute truth. Your father's leg is completely uninjured. There is no trace of a fracture, past or present.
Eleanor: No... that's impossible. The doctors at the downtown clinic said he had three crushed vertebrae and a shattered tibia!
Dr. Miller: We just found a digital transmitter and signal jammer hidden under his mattress. He was manipulating his diagnostic readouts to keep himself admitted here while pressuring you to sign legal papers.
Eleanor's hands began to shake as she looked down at the leather folder in her arms. Inside were the power of attorney forms and the property deed transfer for her family's million-dollar estate—documents her father had been begging her to sign for the past three weeks from his "deathbed."
Eleanor: You told me you were dying, Dad... You told me the medical expenses were draining your life savings!
Arthur: Eleanor, listen to me! I did this for our family! If you don't transfer the estate to my name today, the probate court will freeze all the assets!
Eleanor: You lied to me... I spent three weeks crying by your bedside, thinking I was going to lose my father!
Arthur: You were being soft! You refused to manage your husband's fortune properly, so I had to take control before you gave it all away to charities!
