Charlotte went to the hospital to check on the bpatient/b. When the bpatient’s /bbfamily /bmembers found out that she was the surgeonb, /bthey almost knelt down to show btheir /bbgratitude/b.

Charlotte and the bapanying /bmedical bstaff /bbhurriedly /bbstopped /bband /bbhelped /bthe bfamily /bmember bup/bb, /bbsaying/bb, /bb“/bWhat bare /bbyou /bdoing? Saving lives band /bhelping the bwounded /bis bour /bbresponsibility/b.”

“If it bweren’t /bbfor /bbyou/bb, /bbmy /bbson /bbwould /bbhave /blost his blife /bblong /bbago/b.

bCharlotte /bsupported the old womanb, /bbforted /bher for a few bmoments/bb, /bbgave /bsome binstructions/b, and then bleft /bthe ward with the bmedical /bbstaff/b.
