The patient ran into the operating room, catching the attention of everyone
there. She sat down in front of a doctor and complained about an acute
pain that would come and go. The pain was so bad that she struggled to
even talk. There was blatantly something wrong with her because you
could see a large bump on her abdomen. She seemed to be willing to do
anything she could to alleviate the pain she felt. She begged for pain
medicine or anything that would help her feel less pain. The doctor told the
woman that she had a disease that was rapidly deteriorating her bodies
tissue. The doctor said that there was nothing that he could do to help stop
the decaying. He told her he would try his best and left her to stay under
care in the hospital. Later in the day the doctor decided he had to help this
woman. He decided to breach the rules, even if it meant getting fired to
look through the classified hospital files for any treatments. He was
shocked to find a revolutionary new clinical study on a drug for her
disease. Even though he had broken the rules to get this information, he
was still relieved to be able to do something for the woman. He signed her
up for the trial and she began a fast and great recovery.
