I am very interested in obtaining a copy of Episode #21 of Empty Nest (A Day in the Life). I have been a pediatrician in private practice for the past 10 years, and this episode had a big influence on my choice of pediatrics as a career. I have searched high and low for a copy of this particular episode, and I have been unsuccessful. If there is any way you could point me in the right direction, I would be forever grateful.
