This choice: Abbey, an 8 year old girl with a stomach ache • Go Back... Tucking the shrink ray underneath her scrubs, Debbie entered the emergency room. Upon entry, she observed an eight year old girl laying on the bed, with two parents who appeared to be in their thirties sitting on the chairs next to her. "Hello, are you Abigail Greston,” Debbie asked, reading through the chart in front of her.

The girl on the bed just nodded. One of her hands was resting on her stomach.
"Yes, she’s Abbey," the girl’s mother said. “My name is Morgan and this is my husband, Travis.” She was clearly nervous, concerned about her daughter’s well-being. The girls father just said, “hello”, in a quiet voice.
Irina then entered the room, pushing a carrying a tablet. "Dr. Horn will be in soon, he's got a critical patient in Room 9," she said, before looking up to see Abigail, her parents and Debbie starring at her. "Oh, sorry for interrupting."
"You’re fine, Irina," Debbie said, scrolling through the patients chart.
Debbie smiled at Irina then turned her attention back to her patient. "Abbey my name is Debbie and I'll be your nurse. This is Irina our PCT. It looks like you've got a pretty bad tummy ache.”
"Yeah, it really hurts," the little girl cried.
“We don’t know if it’s something she ate or if she’s got food poisoning, no idea really,” Travis said in a concerned matter, as he reached for his daughter’s hand. Debbie observed Irina make a face in empathy, feeling bad for the young patient.
"Alright what have you eaten today?” Debbie asked.
"Ummmm, some Cheerios and milk, some sausage, and some apple slices," Abbey responded. Debbie continued to review the chart while Irina made notes on the laptop. The silence was broken by a deep grumble coming from Abbey’s stomach. “Ugh, my tummy hurts,” the little girl said.
"Abbey, we'll have the doctor in here soon," Irina said.
"Thank you, please tell him it’s really important,” Morgan pitched in.
Debbie, meanwhile, had put together a plan to use the shrinking device. This would give her a chance to play god, test the shrinking device, and help a patient all at once. "Well Abbey, I have to check with the doctor but I think the best way to proceed is to take a look inside you and see what’s going on," Debbie said. She watched as Irina made a very confused face upon hearing this. The face was mimicked by the parents.
"Are you gonna stick a camera inside her?" Morgan asked. "That sounds really unnecessary.”
“Does she really need that for a bad stomach ache?” Travis added on.
"Well actually we have a new piece of technology that will allow us to see up there," Debbie said with a bit of a smirk.
Irina looked at her in confusion. "We do?" she asked.
Debbie's plan was coming together. She was going to shrink someone to one half of a centimeter tall and then would have Abbey swallow them. She hoped Abbey and more importantly, her parents wouldn't mind, but then again, she appeared to be in so much pain that she would probably be fine with anything. Debbie grinned as she decided to shrink...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
