I sat, perched in the green mechanical chair, every movement accompanied by the irritating rustle of the paper chair protector. “And I want to be a nurse… why?” I asked myself over the screaming of my nerves. “So that you’ll get to torture loads of innocent patients,” I reminded myself logically.
The door swung open and three figures in white coats stepped inside.
“Hello, BookFreak.”
This man seemed to be the leader.
“My name is Dr. Roth. These are my assistants, Miss Han and Miss White. Now, you’ve had this… mark… on your face for how long?”
“Three months,” I answered, nervously.
“Two days after her very first vaccination,” Mom added.
“Hm.” Dr. Roth stepped forward. “Miss Han should know what it is. Miss Han?” The pretty Asian woman stepped forward and touched my face gently. Three minutes later, I was still under close examination by all three practitioners, and none of them had a solid idea as to what it was. The closest thing they could agree on was that it might be some form of a disorder starting with the letter L in which my immune system starts attacking my own cells. But they needed to do something called a “punch biopsy” to be sure.
I was fine when I saw the needle. It was reassuring to know that I wasn’t going to feel whatever they were about to do to my face. I was okay when I saw the scalpels. Hey, I use scalpels, they’re pretty cool. I was still okay when the chair laid back and the light shone directly in my eyes; I mean, let the doctors do their work, right? It wasn’t until Dr. Roth was leaning over me, scalpel in hand, that it started to bother me.
“Oh,” he added thoughtfully, lifting the bloody knife for a moment, “this will scar.”
Eventually, he got the skin sample they needed, stood up, and dropped the sample. And couldn’t find it.
I laughed until I cried, and I kept crying for an hour and a half.
