INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY Patricia Bertier, a beautiful and arrogant young lawyer, sits on a hospital bed. She is visibly angry, her face flushed. Her legs and pelvis are bandaged from the car accident she had earlier. She is fidgeting, trying to reach her phone and call someone. DR. BASIL BENDS, an imposing and sarcastic doctor, dressed in a white coat, enters the room. He shuts the door behind him and looks at Patricia, amused by her fiery demeanor. DR. BENDS (smirking) Well, well, well. Look who we have here. The "Assaulting Attorney" strikes again. PATRICIA (angrily) I don't have time for your sarcasm, doctor. I need to get to my important meeting! DR. BENDS Well, Miss Bertier, if your ambition didn't blind you, you'd notice that your injuries are quite serious. Neglecting your pelvic condition, I see? This accident might just be a blessing in disguise; it's finally got your attention. Patricia's eyes widen, a mix of anger and disbelief crosses her face. PATRICIA This is absurd! I've got a case to win, and I can't afford to be out of commission for long. DR. BENDS (chuckling) Oh, I find your reckless attitude amusing. But let me tell you about my friend, Dr. Percival Gleswick. He's quite the character - weirdo and experimentator as I call him. Patricia's expression changes, listening intently. DR. BENDS (CONT'D) Despite his creepy demeanor, Dr. Gleswick is a truly innovative doctor. He can offer you conservative treatment options, but I must advise against it. You might regret not taking the necessary operations later on. PATRICIA (defensive) I refuse to go under the knife! My case will collapse without me. DR. BENDS (rubbing his chin) Ah, the great Patricia Bertier, only caring about her career. Perhaps losing your ability to walk might humble you a bit. Patricia clenches her fists, her face red with anger. PATRICIA How dare you speak to me like that! I am not some petty patient to be ridiculed. DR. BENDS (grinning) You lawyers always think you're invincible. I'm just trying to help you understand the gravity of your situation. But hey, it's your body, your call. Take the conservative approach if you wish, but I warned you. Patricia glares at Dr. Bends, her expression a mix of determination and frustration. A flicker of doubt crosses her face, but she quickly masks it. PATRICIA I'll think about it. But don't expect me to change my course easily. DR. BENDS (smiling) Fair enough, Ms. Bertier. Just remember, ambition can lead to blind spots, even in the courtroom. He leaves the room, leaving Patricia alone with her thoughts, torn between her ambition and the consequences of neglecting her health. FADE OUT.
