De Humani Corporis Fabrica

There’s no way. This is a college nurse’s office—surely she’s missing something major. There isn’t just the pain. There’s the not breathing. How could she possibly tell from a stethoscope and a couple of questions. You have to get an X-ray. You need to see inside your body. You know the answer’s in there.

But how could you possibly say this. It’s probably nothing. She is a professional. You are nineteen years old.

🩸 Tell the nurse thanks and goodbye.
