Dorothy confronts the neurologist who dismissed her in New York. This was one one of her most climactic scenes on the Golden Girls.
No copyright infringement intended.
The wife tells him to shut up because he did the same thing to her. Dr Budd tells Dorothy in New York, "change your attitude, maybe your hair color too. My wife is a totally different woman ever since she went blonde". Of course, she is depicted with blond hair. No doubt she understands Dorothy more than her husband ever will.
As someone with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, this scene will always get to me. It can be so hard to find doctors who take us seriously...
Hands down Bea Arthur's greatest performace as Dorothy Zbornak. If you want an acting lesson, then here it is. She gives you comedy, drama, perfect timing and makes you really believe that her character went through the pain of this illness. A great scene is television history.
As someone who gets dismissed by doctors because I’m a young woman who “shouldn’t have these problems because I’m young” this hit close to me. I loved it
"but I will", Bea had killer timing...rip (
This is so relatable. Dealt with this when trying to find a diagnosis for Endometriosis. After being in so much pain and being told that "it's probably all in your head" they reluctantly did my 1st of 3 laporoscopies. While still under anesthesia, the Dr told my Mom "I don't know how she was even walking around like that. Out of the 40 plus yrs of practicing medicine I've never seen a case that bad" I felt so relieved. I wasn't crazy! It wasn't all in my head! My internal organs literally had shifted from so much scar tissue. And even after 3 laporoscopies and having Stage 4 Endometriosis I still get dismissed by some Dr's as having "just a bad period" when for women who suffer from this understand it is SO much more than that. From those experiences, luckily between migraines and Trigeminal Neuralgia I learned to advocate for myself because if not, no one will. Some times you need to be the loudest voice in the room just to be heard and I'm ok with that
"As angry as I am and as ANGRY as I always will be..." I love the clenched teeth on the second ANGRY! GO DOROTHY!
This episode won Creator/Head Writer Susan Harris an Emmy for it.
thats what i love about this show, they really did tackle a lot of taboo subject among ts the laughts
We so need sitcoms like this again.
*voice cracks*, “I can’t do this in a restaurant..”
"I still wish you a better doctor than you were to me". The harshest and to me, the most powerful, words of her entire speech. They damned him more than any expletive-filled rant could have. Most doctors I know are very much like Dr. Budd: Self-assured, inflappable and arrogant; to say to his face that he's a crap doctor, which is the basis of his self-image and esteem, and to do so calmly and coolly, is worse than anything else. It shows he's a quack, which doctors deep down fear being.

I actually dismissed a psychologist in a similar fashion and I'm so proud to say I learned it from Dorothy. Happened during the pandemic, she was supposed to have video appointments with me once every week, but she'd often skip several weeks with no explanation. It reached a point in which I genuinely stopped caring and didn't even message her anymore to confirm appointments, leading my mother (who had arranged the appointments) to talk to her and get the response that I was the one not contacting her, even though at one point she went an entire month confirming appointments and not showing up herself. I felt really proud when I messaged her and ended it all with "I hope that if you ever need a psychologist or any health professional, they're better professionals to you than you were to me."
The series was so mature, funny, sincere.... One of the best shows ever.
I've never actually watched this show, at least nothing more than bits and pieces of an episode, but someone posted this clip on Tumblr some time back, and I have to agree with them: this is a PERFECT representation of how invisible illnesses are treated.
This hits oh-too-close-to-home for me. For six years, I had baffling symptoms that no GP could seem to pinpoint. After about six months of going to multiple doctors, most of whom blew me of as a hysterical hypochondriac, Never mind how I had passed out on a street, or how I had felt like I was having a heart attack one day, it felt like every part of me inside was on fire, and it took me over an hour to get back to any kind of normalcy. But, nope, I was just a silly woman.

I love how his wife just tells him to sit down and
Nobody could deliver a line like Bea! Brilliant acting and top notch writing. Funny and mature without being vulgar..I can't tell you how many times tones I've binge- watched the entire series!
