Time Was Ticking
The minutes ticked by, stretching into an eternity, as he anxiously waited for a physician to arrive. With each passing moment, his anticipation grew, mingled with a tinge of apprehension. What could be behind this strange turn of events? As he sat alone in the room, unable to discern the reasons for the woman’s behavior, Michael could only hope that the approaching physician would shed some light on the situation, providing the answers he desperately sought.
Small Details
As Michael sat in the room, the pieces of the puzzle started to come together. He realized that his reputation as a general practitioner may have played a role in the unusual treatment he was receiving. The odd glance, the quick phone call, and the broad grin from the woman all seemed to suggest that the hospital staff recognized him and were offering him special attention.
