I walk through the hall and grab the clipboard before entering to see a new patient. I push the door open and I spot a woman about five feet tall standing in the middle of the room as she stared at the cabinet full of medical supplies. She turns around and smiles slightly.
"Good afternoon, doc." She greeted so sweetly.
"Good afternoon." I respond.
I smile back and scan the clipboard.
Areum Sunny Williams
"Very beautiful name you got there." I smile at her.
She seemed nervous and wouldn't keep much eye contact. Which is pretty normal with patients but I found it adorable how she would pucker up her lips ever so softly and look at the floor.
"Thank you very much." She nods shyly and brushes a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I will begin the check up for today, Miss Williams. What may be the reason of your visit?"
I begin the check up and she looks up at me. My tall figure completely towering over her small one. I smile down at her, reassuring her and I noticed that she was a bit more relaxed.
"I have been having these pretty bad migraines lately, my last major migraine was a few days ago and my father insisted I came to get a check up. Also, I've noticed I get bruises easily and I really don't think that's normal."
I nod, paying close attention to what she says. Brainstorming on a diagnosis to give her based off the information she is giving me. I take a seat on my stool and signal her to take a seat on the bed. I look at her and tap my chin.
"First, I will prescribe you these sublingual pills. You will take this pill whenever you get a migraine, you will apply this pill underneath your tongue and it will dissolve in a matter of minutes. That should help with the migraines. Now, the issue with the easy bruising, that's a little more complex. When did you notice this?"
"Just a few days ago, maybe four-five days ago."
I nod and type all of the information down. She tilts her head a bit wanting to see and I smile, I turn the screen just enough for her to see. She takes notice of that and shyly looks down. We chatted for a few minutes about the possible reasons she was bruising so easily.
"Well that will be all for today! I would absolutely love to chat with you all day but I really must check up on the next patient."
"Oh! Yeah. I'm very sorry for taking up your time, doctor kim."
"Taehyung."
"Huh?"
"Please call me Taehyung." I smile.
"Well alright then. In the case, you may call me Areum." She smiles back.
She grabs her purse and slides it on her shoulder. Areum stood up and begins to head out, she halts and turns around.
"May I ask something?"
"Sure. Go ahead."
"Do you happen to know where my usual doctor is? Kim Namjoon. He's my doctor and I found it quite strange that I didn't find him today."
"Oh. He's alright. I believe his mother has a cold, so he's taking care of her at the moment."
She nods and looks down, then back up at me.
"If you see him could you tell him Sunny says hi."
"Sure thing, Miss Areum."
She nods with a smile and walks down the hall towards the exit. I just stood there watching how her small figure grew smaller and smaller. For the rest of the day, I could stop thinking about how lovely she was. She has made a big impression for herself and she didn't know. I did my last check up of the day and headed down the hall to hand the nurses my documented patients of the day. The nurse at the desk smiles up at me and takes the clipboard and files. Before I walk off, I look down at her and smirk lightly.
