I've been trying to reach my brother for 2 hours to get the money, but he's not answering his phone. Can't you just start the treatment? I promise to pay as soon as I can
Doctor
I'm afraid not. Hospital policy is clear: no deposit, no treatment.
Sia Brown
But my mother's life is at risk! Can't you make an exception? Please
Doctor
I'm sorry. I have other patients to attend to
Sia looks crestfallen as the doctor walks away. She turns back to her mother, who was lying down on a hospital bed
