â i know this hurts but i need you to breathe, we're almost done. â
â can you open your eyes for me? â
â how long have you been experiencing those symptoms? â
â i can't help you unless you tell me the truth. â
â i know you wanna get discharged and go home, but we have to keep you for observation just a little longer. â
â i know you're scared, but you're in the right place. we're gonna do everything we can to make you better. â
â next time, call your general practioner or come see us sooner. google is not a reliable source. â
â just a few more stitches and we're done. â
â does it hurt when i touch here? â
â we're gonna get you fixed up, i promise. â
â i'd appreciate it if you could sit still and let me work, please. â
â sorry, could you repeat that last part for me? â
â is there anybody we can call for you? â
â it'll be a long road to recovery, do you have anyone at home to help? â
â it's a sprain. we'll get you a brace. â
â it does look like it's fractured, we're gonna get some imaging, okay? â
â you wanna see your x-rays? â
â bad news is its broken. good news, it's a clean break. with proper care and some physical therapy to follow up, it should heal well. â
â so you are going to need surgery. â
â don't worry, it's noninvasive and outpatient. â
â it is an invasive surgery, but we have some of the finest surgeons on the case. â
â we're a teaching hospital, is it okay if i let some student doctors observe? â
â i'm actually new. this is my first day. â
â i've never done this procedure beforeâwell, except on cadavers. â
â that was unprofessional, i apologize. â
â tell me what's going on today? â
â you wanna tell me how you managed to get a gunshot wound like this? â
â that is a nasty laceration, what happened? â
â you know your blood type? â
â i know you haven't had the best of luck before, but i'm a new face. fresh ears. i am listening, i promise. â
â i'm sorry you've had a bad experience. i promise i believe you. â
â any pre-existing conditions we should know about? â
â how many fingers am i holding up? â
â we're gonna need to draw some blood. â
â you're right. i should've listened. â
â you need to listen to what i'm saying. â
â i know it sounds really scary, but we see it all the time. â
â it's manageable and you'll be able to live with it. but you have to follow the treatment plan. â
â if you keep moving like that it's gonna hurt more. please sit still. â
â honestly it doesn't hurt that much. â
â uhhh...that's not? normal, right...? â
â i'm sorry you said i'm gonna have to do what? â
â sorry, uh. could you repeat that? i'm nervous i wasn't really listening. â
â i hope it's not cancer. â
â well doctors do make the worst patients, what can i say. â
â could you just hold my hand for a second? â
â there's no one. it's just me. â
â shitâyeah, that hurts. that really hurts. â
â can i get outta here any time soon? â
â you look kinda young to be a doctor. â
â i thought i was fine but it just kept getting worse. â
â could i get something for the pain? â
â noâno drugs. please. â
â you're telling me it's 'just stress'? what's that supposed to even mean? â
â no one ever believes me. they think i'm exaggerating. i'm not making this up! â
â i just feel like i can't breathe. â
â that's a lot of blood... â
â how long is that supposed to take? â
â i'm scared of needles. â
â am i gonna be okay? â
â i-i'm so stupid. i should've been more careful. â
â do i really have to wear those gowns...? â
â what? what does that mean? â
â could you explain that again? â
â i'm having another episode. â
â i feel like i might pass out... â
â kinda wish i didn't have to be discharged. feels safer here than out there. â
â well aren't you doctor cutie? â
â have you ever done this before? â
â my veins are kinda tricky, try my left arm. â
â thank you. i mean it. â
â sorry i'm not trying to take it out on you i'm just really stressed. â
â i kinda hate hospitals. â
â don't come near me. â
â that wasn't so bad. â
â there's air bubbles in my iv. â
â i don't mean to be difficult, it's just my condition is kinda particular and only my gp knows the details. i have this folder here that explains everything. â
â don't look at me like that. i know my own body. â
