CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Season 3

Grissom:
Albert. Got a minute?

Doc Robbins:
Sure. What's up?

Grissom:
I'd like a second opinion.

[Next shot of them is after he checked Grissom's ear]

Doc Robbins:
I wish you had come to me sooner. The condition is pretty far along. Why'd you wait?

Grissom:
[sighs] I hoped it would go away.

Doc Robbins:
Doesn't your mother have this condition?

Grissom:
Yeah. It's hereditary. I know I wasn't rational.

Doc Robbins:
Look, Gil. I'm not gonna preach to you, you came to me. But Doctor to Doctor there's a chance the bone deposits have spread into the inner ear. In which case your hearing loss will eventually be permanent. If I were you, I'd schedule surgery as soon as possible.
