I’ll be right back Nancy. Let me just go check up on that creepy man.
Yup that’s the one. Wish me luck. God knows I’ll need it.

Good morning Mr. Testeli. How are you feeling today? Still feeling that chest pain?
Oh, alright then. I’ll have a look at that. Let me just take a look at your charts.
Everything seems to be in order. Alright, let’s just check those vitals of yours. Can you please sit up? Okay, I’ll just lift your shirt up.
Take a deep breath in. (Pause) And out.
Um, sir, I’m going to have to ask you to remove your hand. Yes, remove your hand from my chest. (Pause) Thank you.
I’ll be back to check on you later. Someone will be in to administer your medication shortly.

Oh my God, Nancy, when will this creep be discharged? He felt me up! No doubt about it. I know for a fact because peoples’ hands do not just ‘accidently’ plop onto other peoples' chests! And has that freak never heard of a chest wax? I mean EW! It was like the wolf man in there! And he just kept smiling creepily at me the whole time. Made me feel like I was doing something dirty.
Seriously. I do NOT get paid enough for this. I’m seriously thinking about moving to Hammad Hospital. It pays so much better. Or I could even switch to night shifts. It’s not like I have kids or a husband to take care of anyway. Might as well fill up my nights with something.
Oh my God! Dr. Hemsworth! He’s coming this way. Quick, how do I look? Teeth check!
Oh hello Dr. Hemsworth! Excited for that knee replacement surgery? Oh, well I’ll see you later. Busy man and all. Haha.
(pause)
Oh my God Nancy, did you see that? Did you see? He nodded at me! And oh my god, just LOOK at those shoulders! And did you notice his new socks? He has such an amazing sense of fashion.
What? Oh shut up Nancy. As if you’ve never been in love before. What do you mean it’s not love? Of course it is! How would you even know? Besides, I’ve seen the signs. Well, for one thing, he ALWAYS looks at me. And for another, he’s always passing by me; you know ‘accidental’ meetings and all. I know how these things work. Well so what if I’m always standing outside his OR? That doesn’t change anything.
I mean, I’m sure he would’ve made a move on me by now, if it wasn’t for that stupid wife of his holding him back. And you know, I saw them arguing just yesterday. I’m sure a quick divorce is on the way.
Who cares if she’s pregnant?
What’s with the look Nancy? That look right there! The one that’s basically telling me you think I’m crazy and it’s all in my head. No, it’s most definitely NOT all in my head.
Fine, I’ll prove it. I’ll go up to him right now, and confess my love for him, and he’ll confess his undying love for me in return, and then he’ll dump that pudgy woman and we’ll get married, and have a bunch of kids and live happily ever after. Well, not TOO many kids. Whatever Nancy, just you wait and see. Be expecting a wedding invitation soon!
