“My 7-Year-Old Patient Whispered a Secret Right Before Discharge: She’d Been Dumping Her Stepmom-to-Be’s ‘Vitamins’ Into a Flowerpot. I Sent the Bottle to the Lab. The Results Changed the Case.”

Chloe accepted the stuffed bunny and placed it beside her old giraffe.

Rosalyn entered the room several moments later. “Good afternoon, Brenda.”

Brenda turned toward her with a bright smile. “Hello doctor, Brandon was extremely upset when he heard the news, so what did the newest blood tests show?”

“We’re still reviewing the results carefully,” Rosalyn replied while opening the nightstand drawer and removing the replacement bottle. “By the way, did you bring this container from home?”

“Yes, those are simply ordinary children’s vitamins,” Brenda answered smoothly.

“Brandon mentioned that every supplement must now be approved through my office first,” Rosalyn stated, watching her carefully.

There was a brief, almost unnoticeable hesitation in Brenda’s posture before her smile returned. “Of course, Brandon explained the new rule, so forgive me because I previously worked in a pharmacy and sometimes forget hospitals follow very strict protocols.”

“In my department, every single item must be approved first,” Rosalyn added firmly.
