My New Doctor

Chapter 2

Ella's POV

We arrived at the hospital at 11:20 giving us 10 minutes to spare.

We walked up to the front and was greeted by a tall middle aged woman with dark hair cut into a bob.

"Hi, can I help you?"

"I have an appointment at 11:30" I replied nervously

"Name?"

"E-Ella James" I stuttered

"Okay take a seat and Doctor Styles will be with you shortly"

"Can you let the doctor know she's very nervous please" my mother tries to whisper but it was loud enough for me to hear

"Of course I will" the receptionist replied

Why the hell did my mother have to say that? I sound like such a child now!!

Harry's POV

I walked out to Lucy the receptionist and she handed me Ella James' file and said " her mother said that she's very nervous"

"Okay no problem, thanks" I replied with a smile

I hate seeing people afraid to come and see a doctor, especially younger patients.

Ella's POV

I was sat next to my mother reading a very old magazine, my nerves were getting worse and worse the longer I sat here, I just wanted to go home and forget this whole appointment but that clearly wasn't an option

"Ella James" I turned my head to see a that a young male doctor had called my name, he only looked as of he was in his early twenties

I reluctantly stood up and he walked over to me, "Hi Ella? I'm Dr Styles but you can call me Harry, I've taken the place of your other doctor" he said holding his had out, I shook it with my very shaky hand and mumbled a quick 'hi'

"Go with the Doctor then Ell" my mother said as she looked up from her magazine

I looked at her and she just nodded at me

"Right this way" Harry said taking the lead to his office

"You can take a seat just here" he said pointed to a chair positioned next to a large wooden desk with a computer and a few other things on

Harry's POV

Lucy was right, she seems to be very very nervous

I just hope that I can help ease her nerves so that this can be a lot easier for her

Ella's POV

"So Ella, what is it your here for?" Harry asked to which I took in a shaky breath and opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out

"It's okay love, take your time there's nothing to be afraid of" he smiled sweetly at me giving me the courage to speak

"I-I have stomach cramps, a sore throat a-and earache" I replied nervously looking down at the floor

"And how long has this been going on?" He asked writing something down

"A little over a week"

"Okay, so today I'll just take a look at you see if you have any problems, and if you have we can find a way to sort them out, does that sound okay?"

I nodded my head in response.

He picked up a thermometer, "I'm just going to put this in your ear and take your temperature okay?"

As he put it in my ear I winced a bit as it was painful, I think he noticed as he said "sorry love but I'm almost done"

It beeped and Harry informed me that I had a slight fever

"Would it be okay if we moved over to the exam table Ella? It's just a lot easier to examine you there!"

"Ok" I stood up and sat on the table

He followed me over saying "I'm going to take a look in your eyes now, have you been having any problems such as blurred or double vision" I shook my head no and he began to shine a light in my eye.

"Which ear have you been having problems with?" Harry asked me holding something which I think he's gonna look in my ears with

"Both" I whispered

"Ella" Harry started speaking "I understand that your scared but there's nothing for you to worry about love, if at anytime you feel it's getting too much you just let me know, okay?"

"Okay, thank you" I replied relaxing slightly for the first time since I got here

"Okay let's see what's going on in your ears" Harry said whilst looking in my left ear first, he then repeated that on my right ear.

"You have an infection in your right ear but your left ear is completely fine"

That worried me because I didn't quite understand what would happen next but Harry just told me it's treatable.

Next up was my throat, he got what looked like a lolly pop stick and a light, he pushed my chin up so my head was tilted and told me to open up, I did as he said and he started to take a look, he then pushed my tongue down and asked me to say 'ahh'

"Aaaaahhhhh"

"Okay that's great, it's a little red and swollen but it'll clear up on it's own in a few days"

Harry's POV

I knew she wasn't going to like the next part as I had to examine her abdomen as she complained of stomach cramps.

"Could you lie down and lift your top up for me love?"

She did as I asked but she looked rather confused

"I'm just going to take a look at your stomach okay? I'm going to press down and I need you to tell me if you have any pain or tenderness"

"Ok" she replied but I could still sense how nervous she was

"It's really important that your honest with me so I can help you okay? It's okay if you do have pain I just need to know"

She nodded slowly and I began to press on her stomach.

She nodded her head and her eyes began to fill up

"Okay love, where you've told me there's pain is where your appendix are, I'm slightly concerned that it could be appendicitis"

Tears fell from her eyes as I spoke, I didn't want to upset her but I have to inform her on what's going on!
