Dr. John Becker is easily annoyed -- by noisy neighbors, a ridiculous comment, a flickering streetlight, the antics of his misfit staff members. He's a talented and dedicated doctor and goes the extra mile for those in need, but he doesn't waste a chance to give anyone a piece of his mind.

Becker's strange suspicion about bad omens seemingly proves true when a patient has a heart attack at the gym.

Against his lawyer's advice, Becker can't help but fight a malpractice suit brought against him by a heart patient.

Vinny DeLuca's malpractice suit forces Becker into court, where testimony from his friends might sink his case.

Becker is ordered to attend therapy sessions with a psychologist (Rhea Perlman) who becomes a changed woman.
