But when it came to it and Magiáš lost his voice, his assistant Vincek had to try very hard to get famous doctors - from Hronov, Kostelecký and Skalický - to come to Hejšovina. Because doctors have to help the sick, even if they don't think anything good about them, they cured the magician Magiáš after all.
