[Dr. Bryant turns and looks at Amy Murphy] [A wide eyed look washes over Dr. Bryant’s face]

 

Dr. Bryant: [Shocked] Oh I was not expecting some like — you.

 

Amy Murphy: [Confusion] What do you mean ‘me’?

 

Dr. Bryant: [Dodgy] Oh well you know- nevermind that, what are you here for.

 

Amy Murphy: Well Dr. Bryant, I haven’t been feeling well. My chest has been in pain, as well as my breathing have shortened too. My limbs also have been feeling weak and colder too.

 

Dr. Bryant: [Smug]  Well Ms. Murphy let me set up for the Stress test so we can see if you actually have something.

 

Amy Murphy: [Uncomfortable] Okay… Doctor.

 

{As Dr. Bryant left to set up for the Stress test and Amy Murphy was left to her thoughts}

[In the room there is a heart monitor and a treadmill]

 

Dr. Bryant: Here get on top of the treadmill and I’ll attach these to your chest. {Points to the treadmill} You should be fine running on this. It’s in your blood.

 

[Amy Murphy is stunned at what Dr. Bryant said]

 

Amy Murphy: Excuse me, what did you say Doctor???

 

Dr. Bryant: What did I say I was telling you to just get on the treadmill.

 

[Amy Murphy is confused and second guesses herself if what Dr. Bryant said was actually what she said]

 

{Amy Murphy does the test and runs on the treadmill} {Dr. Bryant observes Amy’s heartbeat and sees that it is much lower than usual.}

 

Dr. Bryant: It seems that your heartbeat is regular, I don’t think you have anything that’s worthwhile. You might just be eating food that’s too big for you.

 

Amy Murphy: But that doesn’t explain why my arms and legs feel much colder than usual.

 

Dr. Bryant: [Annoyed] Don’t talk back to me like that, you are fine you don’t have anything wrong at all. It will all be alright Ms. Murphy.

 

Amy Murphy: Alright Doctor. Have a good day.
