My New Doctor

Chapter 28

Rachel's POV

I spent the rest of the day speaking to Zayn about what to do she I wanted to do it and then we had some food and watched a film before I decided to head off to bed. "Harry I'm tired will you carry me to bed please?" I whined at him and he laughed and just picked me up "night Zayn" I shouted from half way up the stairs. Harry gently laid me down in bed and tucked me in "everything's going to be okay princess okay? I'm going to make sure of it!"

"Thank you"

"Now I won't be here in the morning when you get up but I'm going to come and get you in the afternoon so be ready by about 5! Goodnight babe" he said and kissed my forehead quickly and leaving before I could answer him

Harry's POV

I woke up to my 6am alarm and got ready for work, I was thinking about Rachel's appointment this afternoon, I have to update her shots but I think she only needs two so it's not so bad but it still won't go well.

I got to work and set up for my first patient Chloe.

There was a knock on the door and so I stood up and opened it, "morning love" I said to Chloe whole stepping aside to let her in. She number a quick 'morning' back while taking a seat. "So how you feeling?" I asks sitting in my chair and looking at her noticing how weak and pale she looked today, "I'm fine" she replied softly. "What you here for today?"

"My mother thinks there's something wrong with me but I'm fine" she said looking slightly nervous

"Why does she think that?" I asked opening her file and writing a few notes

"She says I'm not myself and that I look ill and that I don't eat enough"

"Okay, how do you think you are then? Do you feel normal?"

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Okay, do you feel ill at all?"

"I've had a bit of a cold but otherwise i feel okay"

"Okay great, how much do you eat? How many meals a day?"

"Sometimes one or even none, I have a packet of crisps or a chocolate bar"

"Okay now I'm sure you know your mothers right by saying you don't eat enough and maybe that's why you look a bit ill to her because not eating can cause you to have a number of problems. Your body needs food to get all the nutrients it needs to get you through the day so it's really important that you eat at least one good meal and a snack like a sandwich or something, can you do that for me?"

"Yeah okay" she replied looking at the floor

"Thank you chick. So you think you just have a cold?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me"

"Why don't you let me take a look at you and we can find out yeah?"

"Okay"

I took her blood pressure and temperature before moving over to the exam table with her and checking her heart and lungs, she seemed to be having some trouble breathing but everything sounded okay and she said everything was fine so I just moved on. "Look straight ahead for me" I said while shining my light in her eyes and then I checked her earS and she winced as I went to put the otoscope in her left ear, "painful?" I asked

"A little"

"For how long?"

"Few days" she said while looking down and twiddling her thumbs

"Honestly? Just a few days?" She nodded "look at me Chlo and I want you to be honest with me okay? You've got no reason to hide anything from me because I only want to help you okay?" She looked and me and I could see the fear in her eyes and her hands were starting to shake "honestly it's only been about a week" she replied getting more and more upset
