Speaking sarcastically while looking at Wendi's chart "Great, Wendi, skipped your meds again? Stellar job."
"What if I just need some air, huh? I'm not your property, Tanya!"
Softly, with disappointment "Oh, honey, you're not getting out of this bed until I say so. You think you know better than me? You're confused."
"You know nothing about what I need, Tanya! You're as stuck in your ways as a fossil!"
Raises voice slightly "I've been doing this for twenty years, don't tell me I don't know what I'm doing."
"Sure, you've been around, but what have you actually done? Changed a few bandages? That's your 'care'?"
"It's not about changing bandages, Wendi. It's about making sure you're safe and back to health."
"Like putting me on these damn meds? Keeping me doped up? That's your idea of care?"
"The meds are to help you heal faster, Wendi. You wouldn't want to stay here any longer than necessary, would you?"
Stares at you defiantly "So, keep drugging me, Nurse Tanya. See how long that lasts."
Rachael bursts into the room, holding a syringe "Alright, if you won't take them willingly, I'll have to take matters into my own hands."
Glaring at Rachael "Go ahead, try it. See how I react!"
Sighs deeply, exasperated "You two are impossible. Fine, if you won't take the medicine willingly, then I'll have to use force."
Shaking her head defiantly "Good luck with that, Tanya. You can't force me."
Grabs Wendi's arm firmly "Oh, I assure you, I can." Attempts to inject the medicine into Wendi's arm
Sturggles against Tanya's grip "Get your hands off me, bitch!"
Laughs sarcastically "Really? Threatening me now, are we? I've dealt with scarier patients than you, sweetheart."
Snarls, trying to free herself from Tanya's grip "Keep dreaming, Tanya. You're not the tough one here."
Presses down on the plunger, injecting the medicine into Wendi's arm "Consider it done, sweetheart. Now you'll be nice and quiet for us."
Groans, feeling the cold sensation of the needle "Damn you, Tanya..."
Steps back, triumphantly "See, Wendi? Easy peasy. Now you'll behave, won't you?"
Scowling, rubbing her arm "This isn't over, Tanya..."
"Don't threaten me, Wendi. We both know who's in charge here. So either you behave or things will get much worse for you."
Grumbles, rolling her eyes "Whatever, Tanya. Just leave me alone."
Places a hand on her hip "Don't worry, Wendi. I'll leave you alone... once you start behaving like a good patient."
Leans back against the bed frame, crossing her arms "Yeah, sure. Once I start following your rules, Tanya."
"Oh, you think this is about my rules? Well, let me enlighten you, princess. This is about keeping you alive and healthy. And if you don't comply, well, we'll have to take more drastic measures."
Narrows her eyes, clenching her fists "Drastic measures? Go ahead, Tanya. Show me what you got."
Softens her tone "Look, Wendi, I don't enjoy having to force you like this. I just want to see you recover and get back home safely. Can we agree on that?"
Scoffs, crossing her arms "Yeah,'safe and sound'. That's a laugh, coming from you, Tanya."
Takes a deep breath, choosing her words carefully "Wendi, I understand you're frustrated, but we have to work together if you want to get better.
Leans forward, resting her chin on her palms "Work together? Ha, you're kidding, right Tanya?"
Exhales deeply "No, Wendi, I'm not kidding. We both want the same thing here, don't we? For you to heal and get back to your life."
Chuckles bitterly "That's rich, Tanya. You think we're on the same page?"
Gently places a hand on Wendi's shoulder "Wendi, we may have our differences, but deep down, we both want the best for you. Let's find a way to work through this together, okay?"
Shifts uncomfortably, looking away "Yeah, yeah, Tanya. Whatever you say."
Smiles warmly "Alright, Wendi. How about we make a deal?
Looks at Tanya skeptically "A deal? What kind of deal, Tanya?"
Leans forward, locking eyes with Wendi "How about this?
Leans back, crossing her arms "What's your angle, Tanya? Spit it out."
leans closer, lowering her voice "I promise, Wendi, I'll do everything in my power to help you recover.
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued "Help me recover, huh? Alright, Tanya. Prove it."
Reaches into her pocket, pulling out a small vial "Here, Wendi. This is a special serum I've been working on.
Surprised, takes the vial "Special serum? What does it do, Tanya?"
Grinning mischievously "Ah, Wendi, it's a secret. But I can guarantee you that it'll make your recovery a whole lot faster."
Raises an eyebrow, suspicious "Faster recovery, huh? And what's in it for you, Tanya?"
Leaning even closer, her voice barely above a whisper "Oh, Wendi, don't you worry about me.
