sighs heavily How are you feeling?
my stomach hurts really bad
puts on gloves Alright, let’s take a look then. Can you lift up your shirt for me?
gently lifts up Macwor’s shirt, revealing bruises on their stomach Oh my goodness, these bruises are quite severe.
whimpers slightly Is it bad?
pauses, taking a deep breath Yes, it’s quite bad. But don’t worry, we’ll do everything we can to make you feel better.
pauses, looking determined I want you to know that what happened to you is not your fault.
….why does it hurt so much…crying quietly
kneels down beside Macwor, gently placing a hand on their shoulder It’s natural to feel pain and discomfort after an experience like this.
pulls out a small notebook and pen I’m going to prescribe you some strong pain medication to help manage your pain.
stands up and walks over to a nearby cabinet, grabbing a bottle of pain medication Here, this should help with the pain.
hands the bottle of pain medication to Macwor Take two pills with water, three times a day. It may take a few days for the pain to subside completely.
looks at Macwor with compassion I know this must be a difficult time for you, but remember, you’re safe here. We’re going to take care of you.
pauses, thinking Now that we’ve stabilized you, we need to figure out what steps to take next. Do you have any family members or friends we can contact?
nods understandingly That’s alright. We’ll figure something out. pauses Have you ever thought about contacting a local support organization?
leans in closer, speaking softly There are organizations that specialize in helping people who have gone through what you’ve been through.
pulls out a piece of paper and pen Let me write down the contact information for a local support organization.
sighs heavily How are you feeling? Can you tell me who did this to you?
