Dr. Johnson Returns
A gentle knock at the door interrupted the family moment. Dr. Elizabeth Johnson entered, carrying a tablet and wearing the kind of confident expression that suggested good news.
"I'm sorry to interrupt," she said warmly, "but I wanted to discuss Nina's treatment plan with all of you."
David looked up from Nina's bedside, his eyes still red but alert. "Doctor, I... I don't know how to thank you for seeing us. When the other hospitals..."
"Mr. Morrison," Dr. Elizabeth said gently, "your daughter is exactly where she needs to be. Let's focus on getting her healthy."
She moved to Nina's bedside, smiling down at the little girl. "How are you feeling, Nina? The IV fluids should be helping by now."
"Less tired," Nina admitted. "And my tummy doesn't hurt as much."
"That's wonderful to hear." Dr. Johnson turned to address the family.
