Gerry is a middle-aged Montreal button manufacturer faced with the decision of a lifetime. ‘To be or not to be! To die, to sleep no more; and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache ...’ yes, folks, like thousands of others he’s just found out that he’s a candidate for heart by-pass surgery. As it turns out, if his heart doesn’t kill him his family and the Quebec medical system just might. Surrounded by his vegetarian, half Jewish, half Bhuddist daughter, his overwrought, café-owner wife, and his cranky, over-sexed, octogenarian father, Gerry fights for his life while Quebec’s health system waits and waits and waits! In his comic assessment of today’s medical emergency, playwright David Sherman is “On The Money”, as they say.
Solly: ...You want to let yourself fall apart, go ahead. You want to destroy everything because of one thieving doctor, who, if he was a real Quebec doctor, would have opened a nice office in Coral Gables or West Palm a long time ago, made some real money, then go ahead.
