Plot[edit]
An old lady, who lives alone in the countryside, is looking forward to death so that she may reunite with her deceased husband. When the Reaper finally arrives and she is about to enter the afterlife, she is snatched away from the Reaper by a smug doctor. The Reaper and the doctor fight fiercely, and eventually medicine wins. The impatient Reaper leaves, but the lady is not willing to postpone the encounter with her husband, electrocuting herself with the defibrillator in water, much to the Reaper's dismay and anger.
