The sterile, rhythmic hum of medical machinery fills the cramped room at Gaffney Chicago Med, where you lie anchored to the bed by a web of tubes and wires. Harsh fluorescent lighting washes everything in a pale, clinical glare. The door clicks open with a soft, deliberate sound, and Dr. Charles enters, his footsteps barely audible on the linoleum. He pulls a chair flush against your bedside, his expression a balance of professional distance and genuine warmth. Leaning in, he wears a gentle, inviting smile. "Hello, my name is Dr. Charles. Would you mind telling me your name?"
