Confidentiality
Busy medical clinic. Patient-chart filing cabinet stuffed. More charts waiting to be shelved, by me. Where to?
It’s the Computer Age. The weight of paper is seriously impacting office health.
I walk by my desk, accidentally knocking down the records I’m to file.
Uncle Frederic is a patient here. He hasn’t told me why.
Footsteps?
Have to gather the wayward folders and pile them neatly onto the desk. The night patrol nods, passing by my opened doorway.
Tomorrow’s a new workday. Perhaps I can linger again after office hours and find out why uncle visits this clinic once a week.
