I did not even make it to the med wing when I caught the sound of my colleague's voice, all twisted up with frustration."Look, mister, we're not trying to be difficult. However, this Dr. Shane Johnson you keep asking about, he's not on our roster."Yale's voice was getting all sharp and edgy."Quit covering for him! He's the one who took my blood yesterday, and all those nurses at the check-up center saw it!"I pushed the door open and stepped in, and Yale's eyes practically sparkled. "Ah, there you are!"My colleague was totally caught off guard. "Him? He's the new..."However, Yale cut him off quickly. "Exactly! I knew it, he's the newbie! Just look at my arm, it's a mess!"He yanked up his sleeve to show off the angry, swollen mess where he got the shot, all dotted with little bumps."It hurt like heck when he stuck me, and when I whispered a complaint, he just jammed the cotton ball into my wound on purpose! Got it all on camera!"Now I can't even bend my arm, and it's me

"Internal medicine? That guy's from internal medicine, and he still won't help Josh? He's as irritating now as he was when he was a kid!""Only a month off? That's letting him off easy. They should strip him of his medical license!"My ID took an unexpected swim in a basin a few days back during an emergency, and the details had all but washed away. I did not get around to getting a new one yet.Yale, seeing Paul stay quiet, got bolder with his words."Come on, Dean Harris, cut to the chase. I want to see Dr. Cunningham, and I want to see him now."Paul massaged his forehead, looking weary."Dr. Cunningham just texted me. He's agreed to take on your son's case.""However, he's not here at the moment. You'll have to wait."Yale lost it. "Wait? How can we wait when it's a matter of life and death?!""Sitting on the spot and doing nothing, I should report you all for dereliction of duty!"Even my colleague could not keep quiet, his voice dripping with sarcasm."Why isn't he her

Yale's face froze, and he whipped around to look at me like he saw a ghost."Hold up! Hold up! What are you trying to say?"Dr. Cunningham? You? You're- What's with that title?"He looked lost, his eyes darting around the room, but everyone else just zipped their lips.I took a deep breath, brushed off his confusion, and headed straight for Josh.The bio-shot I brought in worked wonders; Josh's color was back, and he was talking like his old self.Propped up by my side, Josh faced Yale, who was still in shock. "Dad, I caught every word you guys were saying.""That mango juice wasn't Shane's doing. It was me."However, after you laid into him like that, I was way too chicken to fess up."Josh was always crazy about mangoes, but ever since he moved in with us, he did not have a single one.Driven by his craving, he sneaked a bottle of juice and stashed it in the fridge, never thinking I would stumble upon it.Yale was panting hard, his voice shaking with each breath."No way!

Josh was actually battling a rare immune rejection disease, a hormonal imbalance causing his own cells to turn against him.First, we had to tackle the disease with precision medicine, targeting the cells before we could start clearing away the damaged parts, bit by bit.I just cracked a case like that with my mentor while I was overseas. Thanks to our quick action, the patient pulled through.However, after that day, Yale never visited Josh again. Shirley chipped in for some of the hospital bills, and Josh insisted he could handle the rest.During a check-up, he caught my hand."Thank you for saving me, and not just in the physical sense."I saw the tears on Josh's face and felt a warmth in my own eyes.A month earlier, desperate for answers about his condition, he scoured the internet and had a friend reach out to me.When we met, I was ready to bolt.However, he caught me fast, his voice breaking as he said sorry."I'm sorry. I was too scared back then. Seeing you're doing
