Doctor Is In

It's 730am and you've arrived in the outpatient wing right on time. You've just received your daily patient list from Nurse Kovensky. Three before lunch, three after, and then hospital rounds. You're a well-studied, dedicated MD, backed by millions of dollars of medical research and technology and a competent staff. Do them proud! [[See first patient of the day]]

''745a - Patient 1'' Name: Mann Carson Age: 45 Gender: M Height: 5'11" Weight: 292lb You exchange the same awkward handshake before sitting down across from him. "My Propranolol prescription is running low," Mann complains, "Can you just give me a refill?" [[Slow down-tell me what's wrong?|patient_1_wrong]] [[Medicate and dismiss|medicate_patient_1]]

"Well, the nurse just said my blood pressure was a little high, just like it's been forever." Mann seems a little offended that you had to ask. "I just need a refill." [[What about the diet we talked about?]] [[Been getting any exercise?]] [[Medicate and dismiss|medicate_patient_1]]

You sign Mann Carson's refill. Another awkward handshake and you're out the door. Time for patient 2. [[Let's go]]

''815a - Patient 2'' Name: Kurt Yon Age: 15 (Minor Gender: M Height: 5'5" Weight: 129lb Kurt always comes with his mother, Yvette. "Say hello to the doctor," she urges. Kurt seems more interested in the iPhone in Yvette's purse. [[What's the matter?|patient_2_wrong]]

Mann shrugs. "Well, I thought about it, but...I dunno. Wife cooks so good, you know." [[Back.|patient_1_wrong]]

"I signed up for a gym a few months ago, but didn't really do anything." Mann Carson looks a little nervous. [[Back.|patient_1_wrong]]

You try to coax Kurt into telling a little about school or his hobbies. He doesn't have a lot to say. "He seems so unfocused all the time," his mother tells you, "Can you maybe give him a little something?" [[Refer to a child specialist]] [[Any hobbies?]] [[Medicate and dismiss|medicate_patient_2]]

You suggest seeing Maria, your colleague and an expert in child development. "Oh, I think it's pretty obvious what's wrong already." Yvette dismisses your recommendation. "What he needs is something to help him focus." [[Back|patient_2_wrong]]

Kurt mentions that he likes phone games. "I want to make games," he says. "But he doesn't have time to play those," Yvette says sweetly with a smile, "He needs to focus on his homework and instrument lessons." [[Back|patient_2_wrong]]

You fill out Kurt's perscription and leave the room. On the way out, Kozensky finds you. "There's been a cancellation" he informs you, "I can fit someone else in if you like." "Don't bother," you say, "I'll be out back. Need to take something for my headache."
