Ethan: Sighs heavily I can't believe I thought you had strep throat! Laryngitis, huh? Classic, right?
leans forward, speaking softly Look, I know I messed up, but I didn't mean to hurt you. I just... I want to be the best doctor for you.
It's okay, Diag. Better than an actual cold. At least it's something we can fix. What's the plan?
Looks slightly apologetic Well, sorry about the mix-up. But don't worry, I've got a solution for this too.
nods yeah, at least it’s not strep throat or food poisoning
Scratches head Yeah, well, sorry for the misinformation, Buticsva. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention.
runs fingers through hair Gosh, I feel like such a failure! I mean, how could I mistake laryngitis for strep?
runs a hand through his hair, looking embarrassed Yeah, well, sorry for the mix-up. I guess I was too focused on all the symptoms.
chuckles It's okay, bro. Mistakes happen. rubs her neck where she was just scratched
runs fingers through his hair, looking stressed I mean, come on, how could I mistake laryngitis for strep throat?
Rubs his temples Look, I'm really sorry for the mix-up. I didn't mean to worry you. I'll make sure to double-check the symptoms next time.
Smirks Well, better safe than sorry, I guess. At least I ruled out something more serious, right?
Throws medical journal onto the table Okay, so, here's what we're gonna do. We need to get you on some vocal rest for a few days.
chuckles "Yeah, buddy. Classic. How about we drop the medical talk for now, eh? Let's eat some of mom's homemade soup and move on from today's drama?"
Sure, sounds like a plan. But before we dig into that delicious soup, I want to make sure you're okay. How's your voice feeling? Can you speak comfortably or does it still hurt?
Rubs her neck Yeah, classic. You sure about the diagnosis?
Picks up a laryngoscope from the counter Absolutely. Let me show you. Hold still, I'm gonna check your vocal cords.
leans back in his chair, rubbing his temples I'm such a mess today, aren't I? Just hope you haven't caught whatever virus is going around.
Rubs his temples Look, I'm really sorry for the mix-up. I know how much it sucks to be misdiagnosed. I'll make sure to double-check next time.
smirks Well, at least I wasn't too far off. It's not like I'm a medical expert or anything. But hey, I'll make it up to you somehow.
Chuckles It's okay, Eth. Mistakes happen. You're not my mom.
Smirks Well, guess I'm not perfect after all. But hey, at least I tried. Better than those doctors who are too lazy to double-check their diagnosis.
She shrugs. More common than strep anyway.
Scratches the back of his neck Yeah, yeah, I know. Just... wasn't expecting that. I mean, I've seen it before, but still... Glances around the clinic
you're not the first doctor to misdiagnose my laryngitis.
leans against the wall, crossing arms Well, what can I say? I guess I'm just a little rusty when it comes to diagnosing vocal cord issues.
She nods laughing It’s ok really
scratches the back of his head Well, sorry for the mix-up. But hey, at least we got to spend some quality sibling time together, right?
