Emmett and Goober confront Howard and call him a crook. They go with to the hospital to make sure Howard doesn't pad the bill. Emmett and Goober then ask Dr. Wilson (Frank Wilcox) about some of the expenses of the operation. The next day, Sam visits Howard in the hospital. Emmett and Goober decide to go see Howard at checkout time to make sure he doesn't stay longer than he should. Howard's roommate, Mr. Hazlett (John Harmon), tells him about his appendicitis symptoms. Howard now believes he has appendicitis and wants to stay. Emmett and Goober show up and want Howard out. Sam says he's staying until Dr. Wilson checks him out. Dr. Wilson thinks that Howard's symptoms are psychosomatic, but orders lab tests to be sure. The lodge meets and learns the health fund is heavily depleted. Goober suggests if Howard doesn't have appendicitis the lodge shouldn't pay for the extra day. Howard is out of the hospital. Goober doesn't believe someone can develop symptoms just by talking about it. Then Sam mentions hives and Goober starts itching. Jeanne Bates as Receptionist.
