Synopsis:
Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of Thy Lord God in Vain” An older doctor finds himself in an awkward position when he has to counsel his pregnant patient. Her husband is very ill and it is not certain if he will survive. Even worse, the child is not his. The woman does not want to keep the child if there are good chances for her husband to survive and she asks the doctor to make a health prognosis for her husband. In that way the doctor has to decide about the baby’s life.
