She wasn't happy about it, but she'd been recalled to Life for a reason. Dr. Schmidt was famous in both realms for her cardiovascular work. In Life she helped people overcome heart issues and improve their heart conditions. In Death she helped people overcome their heartbrokenness and to move on from their heartache. It wasn't easy, and she naturally preferred working in Life, but those in Death needed the help too. In Life she played a very physical role, while in Death it was much more mental and emotional. Considering the physical heart didn't do much in Death, this made sense.
This time, Dr. Schmidt was recalled to Life for a patient who'd just had a heart attack. This was a recurring patient of hers, and though she preferred working in Life, she did not enjoy this particular patient. His name was Elmond, and her opinion of him did not betray the name's impression. Of the past six times she'd seen him, at least five were either cramping or gas, but the sixth was a legitimate heart attack, so she knew she had to treat this time with some concern.
"Hello again Elmond, another heart attack today?" Dr. Schmidt said.
"Hi Doc, yeah I think so. It really hurts this time." Elmond said.
"Alrighty, let's have a listen." Dr. Schmidt said, listening to his chest under his shirt with her bi-reality stethoscope.
A few moments went by and Dr. Schmidt looked up suddenly. "Elmond? Elmond!" She cried. The nurses became alert.
"He has no pulse, begin CPR now!" Dr. Schmidt ordered.
One nurse began compressions, while the others monitored his vitals. It was in vain, though. His pulse did not return, and Elmond was pronounced dead. Dr. Schmidt couldn't understand what happened. A heart attack is serious, but he arrived with plenty of time for the circumstance.
While not having Elmond as a patient anymore brought some relief, the situation still nagged at her. What brought him to Death so harshly?
Well, I suppose I can find out. . . she thought.
Dr. Schmidt closed her eyes and flipped to Death. She found Elmond wandering in anguish not far away and she ran to catch up to him.
"Elmond! What happned? Your situation was not nearly dire enough to be brought to Death." She said.
"Dr. Schmidt? What are you doing here? How --"
"Don't worry about that, what happened?"
"Well, plain and simple, it's Valentina. She broke up with me and left for Antionio. My heart just couldn't take it."
"Oh Elmond. . . I'm so sorry. You loved her."
"I really did Dr. I loved her. . . to Death. Apparently."
