moment before saying “Yes...but only for a few moments. There is only a certain amount of visitors allowed in at a time, and her family wouldn't be pleased if we took too long.” Jane was overjoyed, she could really meet the woman she rescued for the first time. Jane and her mother followed the nurse into a room across the hall that was identical to Jane’s. The women was awake, and she was reading a magazine that she put down when she noticed the visitors she had. “I'll leave you alone,”…

"Girisha", someone called out! She looked up to discover an impatient receptionist looking towards them. Along with her mother, she followed the nurse into another room wondering what cream this doctor will prescribe her. She has been to the Walk-in Clinic before for the rashes on her arms. Each time, a different doctor recommended a distinct cream to treat eczema, even after she stated she has no history. After months of applying the cream, to her lack of surprise, none of them worked.…

Monster Sarah looked up at the doctors as they watched her. Her fingers slipped into the hospital gown as she watched them. They were whispering to each other. Her parents stood with their backs to her as they talked to a female doctor. Sarah rubbed the soft fabric between her fingers, trying to relax. She wished she knew what they were telling her parents, it didn’t look encouraging. “Sarah…” His voice whispered in her head. Goosebumps ran up her arms as she smiled. Sarah could feel him…

So I am sick. Welcome to the club, right? Well, last night I went in to Urgent Care because I felt awful. I got there around 6:30pm. They told me it would be about an hour or so before I would be seen. Around 7:15 or so (they close at 8 ) a man came in with his little boy lying on his shoulder, the little boy was clearly so sick. (He was probably 2-3 yrs old or so). The guy working at the clinic told the man that they were at full capacity and were no longer taking anymore patients for the…

grown-ups with blinding white coats and fictitious smiles on their faces. Like most young children, I also felt the rising nerves of an imminent flu shot or finger prick, but I was able to drive those feelings aside as I converted myself into the newest doctor in the office that day.

The ALJ mentions that I plan to become a veterinary assistant. In fact he asked me at the hearing about this. I told him I gave up on the idea and hope to at least learn some of the material about the field since I’m interested in it. I have not real aspirations that I could actually maintain employment doing this. This statement is against what is recorded at the hearing. Passing a memory test is also discussed. I have to take this test while associated with the Navy every 1.5 years while on…

The clock ticked by, it was 6:01 in the morning, and I kept looking at her, a look of pain was reflected on her face, sweaty and strained with the joy of anticipation. Her hands tugging hard at the bed sheet and the veins popping out on her neck were visible pulsating as she tried not to make noise, but I knew she was struggling to keep calm. How I wish I was in her spot, to feel what she was feeling; unfortunately, reality kept nudging me with my imagination being broken by the movement going…

can incapacitate a person for a while. The facility uses a step down method to return the person to a sober or clean status before leaving for hopefully additional help on the outside. The clinical director stated that parts of the problem are doctors and pharmacists that prescribe medications for to long.
