Patient: "Nina"
Condition: Serious
"She just fell back asleep, Doctor," stated the nurse as Dr. Holliday entered the room to check on his patient, "she was a bit more talkative today."
"How did she do with her food?" he asked as he began checking vitals.
"I managed to get a full container of yogurt and some pureed beef into her," she explained, "she seems to like them both."
"Good," he answered, "keep the proteins going in as they'll help build her red blood cell count and may counter some of the weight loss she has endured." He then sighed, "it's not something she needed either."
He began scanning her with a portable scanner. All internal wounds were now healed and there was no rejection to her liver. Her right shin was healing satisfactorily and her left arm bones were doing equally well. Accordingly, he adjusted her drip of pain killers so as to enable her to stay up more.
"I have her scheduled to have her eye fixed in a couple of days and shortly after, her teeth. I need her awake enough to take a mold of her mouth."
Once he was finished, he raised the back part of her bed up so that she was sitting up some. He was satisfied of her progress and figured it would help her to maybe watch movies and such on a nearby monitor.
"Nurse Stacy, stay with her as I want her guarded still," he ordered.
"Yes, Doctor," she answered.
"A friend of hers, Miss Lynn, will be visiting," he explained, "she will have an escort here. You are to stay in room regardless. I'm still uncertain about her."
"Yes, Doctor," she again answered.
With that, he signed her chart and continued with his rounds.
