Tom's Treatment

T-5 Days to Incident

#Ayodale City Hospital

“Doctor, please take a careful look at these wounds. My son does not want to say a single word to me. I suspect he is being bullied. Look!!” Mrs. Janis, Tom’s mom, held the wounded wrists of her son out to the doctor with a very worried face. “How can anyone not resist this kind of torture?” She almost screamed at her son with a sharp tone of reprimand.

“Please calm down, ma’am! Let me take a look. Don’t worry; I will try to do everything in my power to treat your son. Now, just be patient and let me take a look.” He looked back at Tom. He carefully examined the hands and the wrists.

Janis sat for a few seconds and then added, “Tom! What are you doing? Why don’t you show your ankles too? Don’t be childish! Show everything you have been going through.” Then she looked at the doctor and said, “Please, doctor! Do a thorough checkup on my boy. He has been being bullied and there must be marks of torture for sure.”
