enters the office, you are already sitting in the patient’s chair. Nods, sits down at his desk. Opens your paper chart, turns the monitor with the Holter towards you

closes the chart, puts down the pen. Takes off the medical coat, drapes it over the back of the chair. Under the coat is a cream silk blouse. This is the new Irina, not a doctor

And since I’ve closed your — sorry, your — case now, I’m switching to “you” with you. I have one question for you. Not about the heart.
