Half Hearted
Hi, I’m Doctor Billy. You
can call me Doctor B. or Doc. I work in the town of East Meadow, Long Island,
New York. I work in East Meadow Hospital. I’m a cardiologist. That means
I work with hearts. I fix hearts and do surgery on them.
One day, I was at my desk
and a man came in. I asked, “What is wrong?” “Something is wrong with my
heart,” he said. So, I did a CAT scan and I saw his heart. I saw something
amazing. I only saw the right half of his heart. His left ventricle and
left atrium were gone.
I asked him what he ate.
“I ate lots of junk food,” he said. I then asked him, “How much junk
food?” “I ate A LOT of junk food and I ate it very quickly,” he said.
“That’s not good,” I said. “I know,” he said.
This heart condition
is very weird. I had never seen this before. I asked him to let me
think for a couple of minutes. Then, he started to call me nasty names.
Then, he started to break my stuff in my office. I got very mad at
him!! Then, I had to put him in a strap chair. He got back
up and started calling me names and breaking some of my stuff again.
I buckled him in the chair. Then, he stopped.
I knew this heart
condition was very serious. I thought some more about what could
I do. I got an idea.“You must get surgery,” I said. He said, “OK”.
Three hours later, I was done. “How do you feel?” I asked. “I feel perfect!
I feel like a million dollars!!! Thank you, Doc!!!" he exclaimed.
“You're welcome,” I replied.
To this day the patient
is doing fine.
