What To Do When Someone Is Half-Hearted

    I am Dr. Margaret. I study science of course but of the human body. A strange but true thing happened.
    One day, I was working on my files as always. The nurse told me that the patient was half dead and half alive. I told her, “I’ll take an x-ray of the patient’s heart.”
    The nurse handed me a heavy blanket and strolled the patient. The patient’s name was Melissa Hardington, a college student who `s half hearted. Back to the story.
    The x-ray door was closed and unlocked. I looked into the window. Dr. Kristin was working with a patient who had the “A heart of gold illness.” I looked for x-ray number two, but I looked in and Dr. Victoria was working on a patient who had the “change of heart illness”. I looked in the window of x-ray room number three and Dr. Alya was working on the “Chicken hearted illness”. I found number four of the x-ray rooms. I looked at the patient and she was groaning so loud I had headphones on my ears.
    “Melissa, calm down.  It’s only an x-ray,” I said. I put the heavy blanket on the patient. "Smile,” the nurse said in a calm voice. I took the x-ray picture.
    In the office I gave a pain killer and it made the pain go away. The heart was half working right. The nurse strolled the patient down. The surgeon at the Emergency Room asked how to take care of the heart. I said, “The left  ventricle and atrium and the left capillaries are clogged and only the right side is working. The person felt achy. We had to un-clog the left side and give her plenty of quiet, food, and rest.The surgeon did the exact thing and the patient felt better.
