The Doctor

Her heart beat against her chest as she was ushered to a bed behind the curtains. She could hear them on her ears.  She sat on the bed, shivering and mapping wild possibilities. It scared the wits out from her.

Though the curtains hid her, the echoes of footsteps and voices of human encounter were audible from the other side.  She was worried even before the turn came to her. Her eyes were actively screening - no signs of tubes. Please, no.  She was near betraying herself.  It worried her sick.  She could take flight.  

The doctor peeked in before she was organized.  "What's the problem?"  She explained and the doctor's response surprised her.  "Why worry?"  The doctor was indifferent.  She was obviously healthy.  

She was relieved, but still unsure if the response was fake.  No medication prescribed, no advice given.  Funny.
