Dispensable

Dr. Michael Robinson's a productive surgeon working full time who's diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis -- a disease that turns his lungs into worthless scar tissue over several years, causing death by suffocation. The only effective treatment is lung transplant, yet he's refused surgery solely because of age, despite being otherwise healthy. To save his life , his attorney must file for a federal injunction based on anti-age-discrimination law. "Dr. Robinson's not dispensable! He has no expiration date!"
