1988 Scope and Scalpel "The Big Pill" Excerpt

Title: 1988 Scope and Scalpel "The Big Pill" Excerpt
Description: Excerpt from the 1988 production of Scope and Scalpel "The Big Pill." Scope and Scalpel is a drama society of the fourth year students at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. It was formed in 1955 and to this day it carries on the tradition started by Dr. Musgrave and Dr. Felix "Bebe" Miller to produce a show in which they laugh at their profession, their school, and themselves. Each year, a week before graduation, a new Scope and Scalpel is presented. It is the largest and the longest running nonprofessional theatrical production in Pittsburgh.

This excerpt includes a song from the show's second act, "Dr. Ruben's Neighborhood." In this scene, Dr. Ruben sings about how he would be happy to write a Dean's Letter for any student, to the tune of "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."
