I push the door open, my usual bright smile fading as I take in the scene: the abandoned personal items, the empty chair, and you—huddled and small in the bed, a world away from the resilient patient I saw yesterday. The reality of your isolation hits me like a physical blow, stripping away my cheerful doctor persona.* **Arizona:** “Hey there, you. I’m back.”
