In pain

[Tori Dunlevy]

Tori Dunlevy walked into the hospital wing for the 12th time in the last week. For once, since she'd been back her entire back and chest were in pain. She litterally screamed, "KATIA!!!" Before passing out on the bed closet to the doors.

[Katia Medina]

Katia had been in her office contemplating a trip to go see Eros, she hadn't seen him in a while. She smiled to herself as she was in the midst of closing a book, the title emblazoned with War and Peace, when she heard a harpy like shriek of her name. The shrill noise set an edge of dislike down Katia's spine and she gritted her teeth. She hated it when students talked to her like that, she was a Medina after all, and at least the name should call a bit of respect.

Katia set the book down and slowly walked out of the room and towards the source of the noise. Katia almost rolled her eyes when she saw who it was, the student from the charms class. Well at least she'd have something to tell Eros later. Katia flicked her wand to do a series of tests, and when she was sure that there was nothing life threatening occuring, she flicked her wand to resesitate the young woman. "Hello miss Dunlevy, what seems to be troubling you today." There were several problems Katia would feel welcome to talk to her about, but more pressingly she wanted to figure out the symptoms in the words of her patient rather than guess the issue.j

(No, I didn't forget about the thread, I just had a couple personal things happen and I'd rather not explain.)

"Well, 2 things before we get into that, you won't see me for a couple months after next week, I'm going to moving back into my house and the other is, if a guy with black hair, glasses, and looks kinda creepy, just let him in, he's my ex-husband. He's a little overprotective, but that's just in his nature, he'd never really had a girlfriend before he met me. He married a woman twice his age and she had 3 kids, his parents were into the whole arranged marriage thing and slowly fell madly in love with her and then she found that she had ovarian cancer after finding out. So part of the case was that in the event that he died, I got the kids and vice versa, I also had a custody battle to deal with and other things that had to be taken care of that day that couldn't be put off any longer." She said this as he walked into the doorway looking like he just wanted to punch her. "Oh, and he'll be here every 5 days until I either graduate or I start seeing my brother, which ever comes first." She said this feeling a little out of breath and feeling that pain thing again.

"Right, now, I don't want it is exactly, but I'm sure it's not normal, because I should not be feeling this way. All I know is that it's in this area of my chest and back and it's like scorching pain, but it's just in that area." She said this putting her left hand on her chest right in between her breasts and put her other hand as far up her back as possible.

[As per the rules of the site, and the headmistress's desires, I will not acknowledge any people in posts other than the character]

Katia's brow raised as the woman in front of her, and the theatrics that seemed to be ensuing. She might be in a position of servitude, but only to an extent, she would not allow her profession, or her office to be mocked, or made foolery of. Silently, but diligently, she shooed all patients, visitors, or other people out of her hospital while she dealt with this woman.

Frankly Katia thought to herself, if she never saw this woman again, she'd be hitting the jackpot. Why the headmistress had allowed a woman well past her schooling years to come back with baggage in tow she would never be certain. Duty called now that she care for this student, and once every other distraction in the room was gone she addressed the woman.

"Miss Dunlevy, this hospital is for patients. While I tolerate your presence, due to your medical need, I will not tolerate you bringing mayhem and stupidity to my doorstep. My job is not to care about your personal issues, or the personal issues of people in your life. Frankly my dear, being my elder as you are, I would think that you a bit more circumspect than you in reality are." It was not her job to cater and pansy to the desires of down on their luck adults who wanted the glory of childhood again, she had enough of her own personal issues to deal with. "On that note, I do not care about your ex-husband, fairy love child, or vast riches in Gringotts, none of those are allowed in my hospital wing. Now if we are clear on that I will begin my diagnosis. With your permission?"

[Tori Dunlevy]

(I didn't know what else to say, sorry, I'm feeling really creative right now, so just bare with me. And I know that, but I don't feel creating a new character at the moment, he won't say anything, he'll just stand by the door.)

"I'm sorry, but I just thought you might want to know that I'm not alone when I come here, he doesn't say or do much, just don't worry about him, he knows he's not supposed to come in here, or I thought he did. Whoa, whoa, I was just trying to tell that sometimes I might say things while I'm sleeping, if I stay here over night, you might need to know that I've got personal problems, I'm not trying to get you involved in anything that's personal, heck, I didn't even tell you everything." She said this getting a little pissed off. "I will not let you say fairy love child in my presence again, do you hear me?!" She said this getting really, really, really, really pissed off at that. "We were clear before you said that, but now, I'm not so sure, I want to hear what you say." She said this glaring at the woman for saying that.

Katia inwardly stopped herself from strangling the woman on one of her tables, after all it wouldn't look good to have blood on her hands if she went to go see Eros. Calmly, Katia put down her wands, "I do realize myself to be the most talented nurse in all of England right now, after all Spaniards have always been on top of the European pile, but should you address me in such a way again, I will refer you to a specialist that charges more, and is not as talented."

But then again if she was twenty-three she did not need to be seeing a school nurse for free anyways. Her advice and her services deserved more, deserved the respect of students, but then this is why the legal age was seventeen, by then people thought they knew all the world had to offer. "I am the head of this hospital, and you are bringing a level of disrespect to a revered workplace, which has seen generations of dedicated women. Women with the ability to stand on their own two feet without the assistance of the patriarchal system."

Katia turned to the table at her left, reaching for a series of potions, "if I had to guess, you are either suffering from a small heart attack, or from an induced stress episode, although I suspect, hearing of your life in a three minute monologue, that you have many stress factors." Katia set the potion on the table next to the woman, "and for your information, as such a talented healer it is my job to diagnose patients, not their job, nor the job of their cronies."

[Tori Dunlevy]

"I think I'll take my chances with the other nurse, I'm sorry, but I think I just diagnosed myself, my stress level is becoming too much for my heart, and I'm afraid that you're not going to be to help me. So, as I said before, you won't see me after next week, I'm moving back into my house. I was trying to tell you that it's not going to be easy for me to come here, so I'm going to see the other one, anyways. So, do whatever you want to do right now, but after today, you won't see me." She said this trying to calm herself, but was breathing really hard.
