Phobia

"We need to get you to a hospital, I think your foot might be infected."

Sophia tried her best to sound calm, when she was anything but calm. All she really wanted to do, was to scream his ear off, telling him, she told him so.

This is the price you pay for being stubborn. If only he had listened to her when she had told him, he needed to take a tetanus injection for the injury, but he had bluntly refused, telling her she worries too much. Now see what has happened.

"What? Hospital? No way I'm going to the hospital, just do what you did the last time, clean it again, or something. And then I can take some painkillers."

"No T, this requires more than mere cleaning, and it's beyond just taking painkillers. We need a medical personal to check it."

Tunde shook his head, "no, hmmmm, no I'm not going to the hospital." Beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.

"But T, you need to see a doctor before your foot gets any worse."
