Bella walked into the doctor's office.
Dr. Warren looked up and saw her, putting down his pen and said, "Ms. Acker, it's you! Why haven't you rested so late? Is there something wrong? Has the patient had another episode?"
"No, Aunt Sienna is already asleep." Bella stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Dr. Warren, have you increased Aunt Sienna's medication dosage? What I mean is, I saw the nurse deliver medication to the ward, and besides what's on my payment bill, there are additional meds. Can you tell me what they are?"
Dr. Warren was startled by her question, remained silent for a while before he said, "Ms. Acker, I've been instructed that I shouldn't divulge this information. But these medications, once administered, can alleviate much of the patient's suffering and also help extend her life. Rest assured, we are not recklessly prescribing them."
