Ward Six
Description
Dr. Andrei Yefimych is assigned to take over the hospital of a small village in the Russian heartland. There is filth and vermin everywhere, but the villagers don't seem to care—they're too poor and ignorant. What upsets the doctor most is the condition of Ward Six, where the insane are locked up, but where the doctor finds the one man with whom he can carry on an intelligent conversation. All this does is start the villagers thinking the doctor is also insane.
In a dilapidated hospital in a Russian town, a young doctor joins as a staff member and soon becomes concerned over the state of the ward housing, as well as the mental well-being of the people residing there.
A young doctor starts working at a run-down hospital in a Russian town and quickly grows worried about the terrible living conditions and the mental health of the patients staying there.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
