The Impatient Maiden (1932)

Medical-school student Myron Brooks graduates and starts his internship at a hospital. He asks his sweetheart Ruth Robbins to marry him, but she refuses to until he has established his practice. Meanwhile, she goes to work as a secretary for attorney Albert Hartman, and he is so impressed with her dictation abilities that he sets her up a place to practice her dictation and other secretarial skills. It is only after she is taken to a hospital with an appendicitis attack and young Doctor Marlowe performs a successful appendectomy on her that she decides to give up her night job and marry Dr. Brooks.
