Emma's Struggle: A Tale of Desperation and Resilience

Emma was a portrait of pain, marked by scratches, cuts, and scars that ran deep within. In the sterile environment of the hospital, her whispers barely reached my ears, carrying words that struck me with their raw brutality. She didn't want him to look, that doctor.

A Difficult Decision

"Emma, the doctor needs to see in order to help you," I pleaded with her.

"Help? How can he help?" she responded, her voice trembling.

I tried to explain, "That's why we're here in the emergency room, Emma. We need medical assistance."

Confusion shadowed her eyes, and tears welled up within her. "My client, he was a doctor too. How can I allow this doctor to look at me? How can I let him touch me?"
