Yeah, that is the one.  It used two story devices from the original... the
green arsenic wallpaper and the spleen.

The wallpaper story was significantly different... the original featured a
lady who was mostly bed-ridden (and who took Doc hostage during one of her
poison-induced turns).  I realized what they were going to find in the
house when someone mentioned the roof damage.

The "spleen" story ambulance ride seemed to be taken near-directly from the
original.  IIRC, that episode would end in a taxi ride back from the
hospital where Doc asked Louisa about her dental hygiene routine, which was
slighly different than how this one ultimately ended.  :D

Overall, it was a pretty good and funny episode.
