Med Force One-Tales of Recovery

[Doc Holliday]

Location: Intensive Care Unit
Patient: "Nina"
Condition: Serious

Dr. Holliday came to evaluate Nina. It had been over a week since her last surgery and all indications were showing good progress. As he took her vitals and inspected her left arm, right shin and performed a detailed scan of her internals, a week smile crossed his face. Yes, she was improving. As he did his work, she stirred to life although she said little. He noticed a soft smile on her still battered face. He took a seat to her right and spoke softly to her.

"I know you probably don't feel it but, um, you're doing much better. Your internal injuries have pretty well healed themselves and your new liver seems to be in full function," he explained. "Still, your left arm and shin will need more time...much more time. Once we get those healed and once I fix your teeth and you finish eye surgery...." he pointed at some of the ugly burns and scars on her body, "...I will get rid of those, as if they were never there." He got a bit closer to her and smiled with confidence, "You can count on it."

He looked at her chart and turned to the attending nurse, "I would like you to start feeding her soft foods. Keep the supplements going but I think she may like her appetite back. Start slowly, say, some yogurts and maybe some other pureed foods. Small amounts."

"Yes, Doctor," she answered with a smile.

He sat with Nina, trying to answer anything she might say but she just listened. Eventually, her eyes closed and she returned to her slumber.

Satisfied, Dr. Holliday finished his rounds for the morning.
