VITALITY (n.) the state of being strong; energy "Now, Mr. Oshiro. I'm going to ask you again: Were you or were you not cheating on the diet we had planned out for you?" Eyes dilated, fingers curled up into fists and the overall tension in his muscles rose. The elderly man froze as he stared down at the papers before him. He was a long time goer of this particular firm and this was only Timofei's second time dealing with the elderly Japanese male. Tim leaned in forward, having been sitting at the adjacent edge of a small desk between himself and his patient. "Did you? Or did you not?" His fading Russian accent mixed in with the dialect of the locals was an odd combination. Nonetheless, his words were getting across and they were being understood. The young man in the white coat breathed a sigh of relief wrought with aggravation and irritation. "Sorry, Mr. Oshiro, but if you don't give me a definitive answer, you're not going to be getting any more medication for your back. It doesn't help that you're eating unhealthy which in turn is causing the sudden weight gain and you're not exercising daily. Things aren't looking bright for you, Mr. Oshiro." Timofei flicked through a few pages in the folder before him. Everything from the man's medical past was included in this single collection of documents and things did seem grim for the diabetic man. "Yes." The old man finally. Timofei shot the patient a curious raise of his own brow. "Yes. I haven't been eating healthy. But it's hard, you know? There's so much going on in my life that's stressing me out. It's so hard, Doctor." Timofei nodded his head once and stared back at the papers in front of him. "I'm glad you were finally honest with me, Mr. Oshiro. However, I can't risk putting you into more pain, and I shouldn't be risking your extremely sensitive state, given your stage in your diabetes. What I'm going to do is prescribe you some low-end medication that'll help alleviate the pain until we meet again. " A simple tear from his medical pad and the patient was sent off on his way to numb himself with some more drugs. The Russian slipped off his glasses and planted the bridge of nose against the edge of his hand. It was pretty stressful working in Japan. In Russia, the folk, although prideful, usually took the advice of the doctor. Here in Japan, though, the patients weren't too afraid of lying straight to their caregiver's face. He wanted to fall into an eternal slumber. Since his teenage years, he hadn't taken an actual vacation. There was no time to relax, given his current situation and current bachelor label. "Hey, Tim. I'm going to head out. You mind taking the rest of the walk-ins and closing up shop?" Before Timofei could reply, the Japanese coworker had already thanked him and made his way out. After a few moments of putting away the documents and other random files into their respective places, Timofei walked out into the lobby. The faint smell of lilacs filled the air. He shuffled his feet across the carpet of the room and walked straight up to the glass peering out to the small crowds of people that passed by his firm. "Let's hope no one comes in tonight," Timofei checked his wristwatch which read 3:08 PM, approximately three more hours until they closed. "Lovely." | words xxx tags secret notes firstthread #confetti |
