David sat in the nurse’s office at the school. “If we are already to the last name M, does that mean we are halfway through?”

Nurse Smith laughed. “Not in this case. Our school has a whole bunch of S’s.”

He laughed along with her, but he was starting to feel tired. “I think we’ll stop at two today.”

“I think that’s a great idea.”

He was at the school offering a free physical to every student present. He knew that many of the families couldn’t afford yearly checkups for their children, or they didn’t take the time to do them. he offered his assistance just in case there was a child or tow that had something serious. A physical would be the place such a thing was caught. So far, he’d seen two cases of scoliosis and plenty of children that needed to wear glasses. Also, a couple cases of strep and a possible case of the flu. The child’s fever was raging high and was sent home immediately. Why did he do this? It just seemed more simple to him. Get the physicals done. And he’d been doing them long enough that he was developing histories for the children. In order to participate, the parents have to fill out a history for him also.

As he was packing up to go, Nurse Smith shook her head. “You know, I can’t figure you out. Every one of those children would have been money in your practice. Why are you here doing them all for free?”

“Well, I can catch them all in one place here. Some of these kids would never get a physical otherwise. That’s worth the loss in income for me.”

She shrugged. “I think that’s real noble of you, but someone’s got to pay your bills too, right?”

He sighed. She was right. But he didn’t have time to think about the sense of her words today. “I’ll see you tomorrow Nurse Smith.”

“Sounds good, Dr. McArthur.”

His drive home took longer than it had all week. Because today he wasn’t excited to see Sarah. Instead, he looked forward with dread to her ignoring him, or rushing into the house so she didn’t have to talk to him. Or worse, saying hello but her expression would be flat, uninterested. For the first time since Sarah moved into his neighborhood, he wished she lived somewhere else.

But no matter how slowly he drove, he eventually arrived home. And he noticed Sarah’s car right away, but she was already inside and he was saddened at his relief over that fact. At least now he wouldn’t have to know just how made she was at him.

Today he felt low, lower than he had in a long time.

Miss Lily Townsend was going to die.

And she didn’t know it yet, but he was going to have to be the one to tell her.

She could pursue radiation, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants, but even after all of that, she was going to die. There was nothing medicine cold do to save her, only prolong her life, and those methods of prolonging were not comfortable ones.
