id you hear what happened to Dr. T.?”
I had barely made it into the department and already I was hearing rumors.
“No, what? Is he okay?”
“He’s okay,” Dr. Dan told me, then hesitated. “Well, sort of. I mean, he’s okay… but he lost a patient.”
I winced. “Ouch, that hurts.”
“No, it gets better. I mean worse. She died two days after he saw her.”
