bone. But, you will need an attendee to accompany you.

fill the form and get you admitted. Then, we may begin.

aren't there any medications? My pain is unbearable.
10 Doctor Alright, I will prescribe you the painkillers. You can take it, if the pain is 28
unbearable. Till then, you can wait for your brother in the waiting room.
