In Two and a Half Men season 1 episode 22, titled "My Doctor Has a Cow Puppet," Charlie Harper (played by Charlie Sheen), a womanizing jingle writer, faces a health scare. He discovers that he might have a heart problem and decides to visit a doctor to get checked. At the doctor's office, he expresses his fear of being in pain and tells the doctor that he can't bear the thought of being separated from his beloved baseball memorabilia.
The doctor, also an advocate of alternative medicine, prescribes a series of treatments that Charlie is skeptical about. However, as he gets to know the doctor better, he becomes more comfortable with his unconventional methods. The doctor even uses a cow puppet to explain how the human body works, which amuses Charlie.
Meanwhile, Charlie's brother Alan (played by Jon Cryer) is concerned about his own health. He becomes obsessed with the idea of getting a vasectomy, much to the dismay of his ex-wife Judith (played by Marin Hinkle) who wants him to father another child with her.
As the episode progresses, Charlie's condition gets worse, and he starts to realize that the doctor's treatment methods might not be as effective as he initially thought. He also comes to terms with the fact that he might have to give up some of his prized possessions if he wants to live a long and healthy life.
