Once back at the Ponderosa, Adam finds one obstacle after another to gaining the medical attention Joe needs.

Reviews:
"On a wolf hunt Pernell Roberts accidentally shoots Michael Landon who is then attacked by said wolf. Roberts eventually gets the wolf, but Landon is severely injured with both gunshot wound and bites.
While Little Joe is on the critical list, Adam is as you can imagine deeply troubled. Even more so by the fact that three bottom feeding saddle tramps waylay Dan Blocker and steal medicine that Little Joe needs and hold it for ransom.
Also in the story are Brendan Dillon and Carolyn Kearney a father and daughter pair of passing pilgrims who help Pernell Roberts with his brother. They've gone west for Dillon's health, but Kearney hates it and she makes Roberts question whether he isn't better suited for back east.
Nicely done story." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
"I loved this episode. One thing that you can learn from it is that there are consequences to your actions, whether deserved or not. While cornering a wolf that's been attacking their cattle, Adam accidentally shoots Little Joe. That sets off a chain of events that causes distress not only to the Cartwrights, but also to others in the area, due to the sound of the rifle shots' (apparently) causing a stampede. Ken Lynch gives an outstanding performance, IMHO, as he usually does with the characters he portrays. He was a natural!
This episode has some good acting from ALL the characters, even Little Joe in his bed- ridden, coma-like role is very believable. The side story about the man and daughter, whom Adam runs into while bringing injured Little Joe back home, is interesting to learn. The importance of Family is stressed; it helps us to see that close family ties - which, I might add, are woefully lacking these days for many - not only molds our personality, but can motivate us to choose our course in life, even if it goes against our own desires. Unselfishly putting other people's interest ahead of ours is really the epitome of love, isn't it?" Written by tas-10 on IMDb.com
