Aanya and Aarav were sitting in the doctor's office, waiting for their appointment. Aanya was visibly nervous, fidgeting in her seat.
"What if it's something serious?" she asked Aarav, her voice shaking.
"It's probably nothing, Aanya. You're always worrying too much," Aarav said, trying to comfort her.
Just then, the doctor entered the room. "Hello, Aanya and Aarav. What brings you in today?" she asked with a warm smile.
Aanya took a deep breath and explained, "I've been having some recurring pain in my arm and legs, and my previous doctor recommended some injections to help with the pain. But I have a fear of needles and injections."
The doctor nodded sympathetically. "I understand. We can help you with that. But first, let me take a look at your medical history."
After examining Aanya and reviewing her medical records, the doctor explained, "Aanya, you have a mild and treatable medical condition that requires these injections. It's nothing serious, but it can cause discomfort and pain if left untreated."
Aanya's anxiety began to rise again. "So I really need four injections?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Yes, two in your arm and two in your butt," the doctor confirmed.
Aarav put a reassuring hand on Aanya's shoulder. "Don't worry, Aanya. We'll be right here with you," he said, giving her a comforting smile.
The doctor explained the procedure and offered some relaxation techniques to help with Aanya's fear of injections.
As Aanya sat nervously in the waiting room with her boyfriend Aarav to receive the injections, the doctor called him over for a private conversation. Aanya watched them whispering and wondered what they were discussing. She started to panic, thinking that something might be wrong with her medical condition.
After a few minutes, Aarav returned to her, a look of concern etched on his face. Aanya could tell that something was off. "What did the doctor say?" she asked, her voice trembling with anxiety.
Aarav hesitated for a moment before speaking. "The injections that you're going to get on your butt are going to be intramuscular, which means they'll hurt a lot more than the ones on your arm," he said, his voice soft and sympathetic.
Aanya's heart sank. The thought of more pain was almost too much to bear. She had already been dreading the injections on her arm, but the thought of receiving more painful injections was overwhelming.
Aarav gently put his arm around Aanya and said, "I know it's scary, but I'm right here with you. You're not alone, and we'll take it one step at a time."
Aanya knew she couldn't escape this no matter how desperately she wanted to so she closed her eyes and tried to block out the fear, focusing on the love and support of her boyfriend.
