"You ever taken a lead on a case before?" I asked Ava as we walked.

"Not yet" she said.

"Well, todays your lucky day" I said handing her the iPad.

"Mr. And Mrs. Harris, I'm student doctor Curry and this is Doctor Sanchez" she said pointing over at me.

"I'm Lisa"

"Matt"

"So you're 13 weeks pregnant with three days of abdominal pain" she said looking at the iPad screen, "Have you ever had pain like before?"

"No"

"I'm going to examine you, if that's all right" she said as started pressing onto the stomach softy," Have you had some bleeding?"

"No"

"Okay, any complications with your pregnancy?"

"No. I mean not with the pregnancy"

"For years, doctors said Lisa could never get pregnant. We tried and we prayed, but nothing worked, until, one day, it just happened" Matt said.

"Did they tell you why you couldn't get pregnant?" I asked her.

"Something about the shape of my uterus. They did some tests, but whatever it is, it doesn't matter cause we finally have our miracle baby" she said with a small smile.

"So the thing about human anatomy is that even when things may seem like a miracle—"

I cut her off," You know, before we get much further, I think we should check your blood and send you over for a Doppler, just to get some more information. Is that okay?" I said sending them a smile before sending Ava a small glare.

"Yeah, that's okay"

"Great. We'll be back soon" I said walking out of the room.

"Uh first trimester pain in a woman with a atomic abnormalities means that this pregnancy could be ectopic" she said.

I nodded my head, "Yes, but that does not mean that we need to give her a physiology lesson" I said.

"We do if we want her to be informed about her condition" she said with attitude.

I scoffed at her, "she's entitled to her own belief. It is not our job to challenge them"

"It is when they're wrong"

"Ms.Curry, we don't know what we're looking at yet, so just go order the tests" I said before walking away from her.
