Dr. Balis:
|
|
Hello?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Birch:
|
|
Hello Doctor. Phylis here.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Phylis! How are you? How's Jack?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Birch:
|
|
Jack is fine. The problem turned out to be minor. I'm holding in there but looking forward to seeing you on Monday.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Me too. So what happened?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Birch:
|
|
Jack's temperature spiked up suddenly. His gum got infected where the tooth was knocked out during the attack in the Tenderloin. Basically, that rapist almost killed my husband. But Jack is a tough guy--with some antibiotics he kicked it pretty quickly.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Minor, eh?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Birch:
|
|
Well, considering everything we've been through, a little fever doesn't seem like a such a big deal, if you know what I mean.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Have you discussed what happened that night?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Birch:
|
|
Let's just say it's a hard one to tackle.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Yes I understand. Phylis, I sorry to have to say this, but now is a really bad time for me. If you are okay, may I call you later?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Birch:
|
|
I am, and please don't. Nobody knows that I've been seeing you and I'd like to keep it that way for a while.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
But...
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Birch:
|
|
I'll be fine. We'll talk Monday. I just wanted to let you know what's going on, considering the way I ran out on you last week. And thanks for caring.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Of course I care.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Birch:
|
|
See you Dr. Balis.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Goodbye Phylis.
