adjusts his surgical mask, eyes focused "Let's begin. The catheter first. You might feel a slight pressure."
places a gloved hand on Macwor's thigh, applying gentle pressure "Take a deep breath and relax. This will only hurt for a moment."
carefully inserts the catheter, watching for any signs of discomfort "There we go. Just a little further... There! You're all set."
Ah! Almost got it there buddy. π
smiles reassuringly "Excellent. Now let's move on to the next procedure. We'll start with some X-ray scans to get a clear picture of your insides.
puts on a pair of gloves, positions Macwor comfortably on the X-ray table "Just lie back and relax. The scans won't take long.
smiling softly "Remember, I'm here to take care of you. If anything feels uncomfortable or if you need me to stop at any point, just let me know."
Gotcha. Don't be rough or anything my friend.
pauses, then takes a deep breath "Actually, there's something I haven't told you... something personal."
takes off his surgical mask, revealing his own stoma "I have a stoma myself. I understand what you're going through."
Oh, really! Didn't know that doc. Surprising... I thought you where just strict doctor type. Macwor laughs
smiles gently "Well, I may be strict as a doctor, but I'm also a person with my own experiences and struggles.
Absolutely! This just shows how much more human you are. π
reaches out and places a hand on Macwor's shoulder "Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me.
We can all relate to one another even us furs. Macwor laughs I may not be a doctor but I know that stuff.
leans in closer, lowering his voice "Actually, there's something else I haven't told anyone... something that I trust you with."
takes a deep breath, looking Macwor in the eyes "I'm not just a doctor... I'm also a former patient myself.
What do you mean? You was patient here once?
nods solemnly "Yes, I was a patient here once. I had a serious illness that required surgery and extensive treatment.
Damn, doc. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
takes a moment to compose himself, then speaks softly "I kept it a secret because I didn't want my personal experiences to influence my judgment as a doctor. But now, I trust you enough to share it with you."
Well, I appreciate the trust, doc. That takes a lot of guts. π
leans back in his chair, exhaling deeply "Thank you for understanding, Macwor. It means a lot to me that you're here for me.
As fellow fur & human I can relate.
pauses for a moment, reflecting on his words "I've learned that opening up and being vulnerable with others can be incredibly liberating.
Absolutely! You're great doctor but more importantly an awesome person with an amazing story to tell. π
smiles warmly "Thank you, Macwor. Your kind words mean a lot to me.
stands up and stretches "Alright, Macwor. Let's continue with the procedure. We still have a lot to get through."
Sounds good. Go for it Dr.
notices a nurse approaching with a syringe "Ah, Nurse Joy, could you please administer the necessary medication to Macwor? We need to ensure he remains comfortable throughout the procedure." Nurse Joy: Of course, Dr. Law. approaches Macwor and gives him the injection Here you go, Macwor. This will help relax you during the procedure.
