If Dr. Hahn hadn’t directed her to provide the woman with several free samples, Lisa would have assumed she was in comfortable circumstances. “Yes, and it’s worse than it was before. I’m afraid it might be infected.” “Oh, ouch. There’s nothing worse than an infected toe.” Lisa fell into her breathing pattern.…
