"All My Children"
Anna Returns to Town Without Robin
Transcribed By Carol

Anna:  So after all the testing and they pumped me full of steroids, there really was no significant
change, no improvement.

David: So the baby's heart rate didn't go up?

Anna: Actually it dropped a little.  So Dr. Hoffman fells surgery is the only real option.

David:  Then I don't understand, why did you leave Switzerland?  If our baby needs surgery then Dr.
Hoffman is our best hope. 

Anna: (starting to cry) I didn't want to be alone.

David: Baby you weren't alone.  Robin was with you.

Anna: Yes, I know, of course, Robin was wonderful, but you know, she has alot of her own responsibilities and she already has an awful lot of catching up to do with school.

David: (shaking his head trying to understand)  I am sure Robin would have been more that happy to stay an extra few days if you needed her.  Did you even tell her the baby needed surgery?

Anna: (looks concerned) I didn't want to worry her.

David:  Alright so you walked about from the top specialist in the field, you got on a plane, put yourself and the baby at risk, because you didn't want to worry your oldest daughter.

After that David tries to get Anna to go back to the airport to go back to Switzerland.  Later we find out
Dr. Hoffman is in the states and will do the surgery in Pine Valley.
