<\/span><\/p>\nNurse Jane pinpoints the area of concern, touching the same area again and parts adjacent to it to confirm that it is, in fact, the source of your ailment.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201eDas kann vieles sein\u201c, sagt sie. \u201eHaben Sie seit Beginn etwas Ungew\u00f6hnliches gegessen oder getrunken?\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “No, not that I can think of,” you say, your voice a lot hoarser than you remember it being.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201eTrinkst du viel?\u201c Sie fragt.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is Wisconsin. And you work at a bar. Define schwer<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Not really\u2026,” you say, the uncertainty obvious in your voice.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201eTrinken Sie mehr als einmal pro Woche und wie viel in diesem Zeitraum?\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I really only drink occasionally,\u201d you say. \u201cMaybe once or twice a month. Beer mostly. No more than a bottle each time.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And that’s only really because you\u2019re broke. Like most adults your age, you\u2019d probably drink more if you weren’t so strapped for cash all the damn time.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n She simply nods. She rolls your top back down, and you can only assume she’s done. “You’re certainly not the typical college girl, huh? No boyfriends, virtually no drinking\u2026” she trails off with a gentle smile.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The smile you give her in return is unsure as you simply say, “I just don’t really have the time for all that right now.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oder das Freaking Geld<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You know you don\u2019t have the desire either. At least not for the boyfriend part.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But you\u2019re not about to explain your life story to a stranger in a gloomy examination room who just got done poking your belly, no matter how nice she seems.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sie zieht jeden Handschuh mit einem Knacken und Klatschen aus und wirft sie in den M\u00fclleimer zu ihren F\u00fc\u00dfen.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201eWir k\u00f6nnen nicht wirklich feststellen, was Ihnen die Beschwerden verursacht, ohne zu diesem Zeitpunkt entweder einen Ultraschall oder eine Endoskopie durchzuf\u00fchren. Da Sie die Anomalie vor \u00fcber einem Monat bemerkt haben, w\u00fcrde ich Ihnen dringend empfehlen, sich so schnell wie m\u00f6glich um eine der beiden zu k\u00fcmmern.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201eEs kann IBS oder die Anf\u00e4nge eines Magengeschw\u00fcrs oder etwas ganz anderes sein. Was auch immer es ist, es scheint direkt unter Ihrem Brustkorb konzentriert zu sein, also kann ich IBS wahrscheinlich ausschlie\u00dfen, aber auch hier m\u00fcssen Sie sich mit einem Arzt treffen, um wirklich festzustellen, was es ist.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201eWir bieten hier in der Klinik keine Ultraschalldienste an, aber ich kann Sie an jemanden im Greenwood Surgical Center verweisen. Du kennst den am Hashinger Boulevard, etwa f\u00fcnf Kilometer von hier entfernt? Sie bieten all diese Dienstleistungen und mehr an, und die \u00c4rzte dort werden Ihnen definitiv viel mehr helfen k\u00f6nnen als wir hier.\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n She keeps going on for a bit longer, mostly reiterating what she’s already said, but you\u2019ve pretty much stopped listening to her at this point. All sorts of things are going through your mind, haphazardly bouncing around in utter chaos, and you can almost hear your brain cussing you out as it spins out of control with so many thoughts at once.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ultraschall oder Endoskopie? Das OP-Zentrum?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Was zum Teufel?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You don’t have the money for any of that!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And you sure as fuck don’t have health insurance anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your eyes dart around the room restlessly as you try to compose your roguish thoughts. Your expression must be a clear reflection of how shitty you feel right now, because she seems to read your troubled mind.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Give me just a second, I’ll be right back,” she says before she heads out of the room. The door closes after her with a fairly soft thud. Even the way she closes doors is gentle. Your father would have liked her. He was always so touchy about how people closed doors, whether in buildings or cars, saying shutting them too hard could end up with someone losing their finger.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another sigh escapes you for the million and third time today.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You really don’t want to be thinking about your dad right now. You feel yourself go limp as if the very essence of you has been sucked out of your body through a wide straw.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gott, das Ja wirklich <\/em>saugt Arsch.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Where the hell are you supposed to get money for an ultrasound?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The door opens again suddenly, and Jane’s presence fills the room once more. She holds out a crisp white 2 x 4″ card as she approaches you.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Here,” she simply says as she hands it over to you.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You take it and hold it firmly between your long fingers as you read the professionally formatted, dark blue font on it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n John T. Templin, M.D. Chief Surgeon, Greenwood Surgical Center.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sie geht zum H\u00e4ndedesinfektionsmittelspender und reibt sich ein paar Pumpst\u00f6\u00dfe auf die H\u00e4nde.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201eJohn ist ein gro\u00dfartiger Arzt und eine h\u00e4ufige Empfehlung von uns. Au\u00dferdem ist er mein Bruder\u201c, f\u00fcgt sie l\u00e4chelnd hinzu. \u201eIch habe ihn angerufen und ihm gesagt, dass er Sie heute Nachmittag gegen halb zwei erwartet, wenn es Ihnen zu dieser Zeit passt. Ihre Beratung mit ihm geht auf meine Kosten, und er wird feststellen k\u00f6nnen, ob Sie zu diesem Zeitpunkt \u00fcberhaupt einen Ultraschall oder ein anderes tiefgreifendes diagnostisches Verfahren ben\u00f6tigen. Gut?"<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You\u2019re not sure what to make of this extension of kindness. You don’t know why she’s being nice to you, and you\u2019re not sure how to react. The paranoid skeptic in you sees this as a bit of a red flag, searching for any signs that her kindness is some sort of gimmick, but there don’t seem to be any.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Tha-Thank you,” you manage. It sounds a lot less enthusiastic than you\u2019d like, especially since she’s being so nice, but you\u2019re confused and worried on so many levels right now. Thankfully, she doesn’t seem to mind your bland response.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201eKein Problem, Zucker. Viel Gl\u00fcck mit allem, okay?\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Thanks.” You force a smile once more as she leaves the room.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You soon follow suit, grabbing your belongings hastily, far too eager to get the hell out of that room and out of that entire building altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thankfully, Trixie shares your sentiments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ***<\/span><\/p>\n \n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nurse Jane pinpoints the area of concern, touching the same area again and parts adjacent to it to confirm that it is, in fact, the source of your ailment. “It could be a number of things,\u201d she says. \u201cHave you eaten or drank anything out of the ordinary since it began?” “No, not that I can think of,” you say, your voice a lot hoarser than you remember it being. “Do you drink heavily?” she asks.
