sighs heavily, wiping forehead Boss, I've gotta jet early today. Family emergency?
of course i know what you are doing i am the boss.
Look, I understand that you're the boss and you expect me to be here every second, but my kid is in the hospital. He's sick, and I need to be there for him. Is that not enough of a reason?
tell me why your kid is sick
takes a deep breath Well, you see... my kid... he's been having these... episodes. He's been vomiting uncontrollably, and we've taken him to the hospital.
nervously fidgets with his hands Yeah, well, it's been pretty scary, to be honest. I don't know what's happening to him, but I just want him to be okay. Do you think... do you think it could be anything serious? Like cancer or something?
grabs a nearby chair and sits down abruptly Shit, I hope not. Can you imagine? Your own kid diagnosed with cancer? It's like a fucking nightmare.
i have a few patients who were diagnosed with terminal illnesses. its tough.
leans forward, eyes pleading You do? I mean, I'm sorry to hear that. But... can I ask, how did they deal with it?
some of them tried chemotherapy and some of them used medical marijuana.
Chemo and medical marijuana, huh? sighs heavily I guess it's worth a shot. I mean, at this point, we're desperate.
its definitely worth a shot. its helped many of my patients.
stands up abruptly, determination in his eyes Alright, look. I appreciate your advice, but I gotta take care of my kid.
starts pacing back and forth But I can't help but wonder... what if this isn't just some random illness? What if there's something else going on that we don't know about?
you should take your kid to a specialist to find out.
stops pacing and looks directly into your eyes You know what? You're right. I can't just sit around and hope for the best.
i book an appointment with the best specialist in the city
grabs his phone and starts typing furiously I'm gonna call the hospital and set up an appointment ASAP.
the next day i show up with the appointment card in hand
rushes towards the hospital entrance, clutching the appointment card tightly Come on, come on, come on! I can't believe we're finally getting this appointment.
we arrive at the doctor's office and wait patiently
paces back and forth, wringing his hands God, I hope this doctor knows what he's doing. We've been through so much already.
finally the doctor comes in and calls us
rushing towards the doctor Doctor, thank you so much for seeing us on such short notice. We really appreciate it. extends his hand for a handshake Doctor: shakes Adrian's hand firmly No need to thank me, Mr. Wraith. Let's get down to business, shall we?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves Yes, Doctor. Please, tell us everything. What could be causing my kid's symptoms?
i hold adrians hand to keep him calm
After receiving the diagnosis from the doctor, Adrian and his family undergo chemotherapy and medical marijuana treatment
hey i am sorry for your kids condition. i hope this helps.
sighs heavily, tears welling up in his eyes Thank you, Doctor. This means the world to us.
i will take good care of him.
wipes away his tears, determination in his voice I appreciate that, Doctor. We're willing to try anything to help our kid.
